Mystery Of
 a Safe It Was Not Solved by Detective Work
By MARGARET sTEARNs

In all my experience of twenty years in the detective business l never had a case involving more ingenuity and deep laid planning than the rob
 bery of the safe in the dwelling of MT. George A. TourtelOtte. I was sent to the gentleman's house one morning by my chief and found him in a very uncomfortable state of mind. Money had disappeared from his safe, where he had kept what valuables there were in the house, and he assum- ed that some one who lived there must have been the thief, for the safe was an old one, opened not by a cOmbina- tion, but by one of those little keys with teeth such as are used for the private boxes of safety deposit com panies.
 MT. Tourtelotte, who was very rich, did not care so much for the money lost as the discovery that he had thief among the members of his house hold. His theory of the robbery was that some one had come into his sleep ing room at night, stolen his bunch of keys, among which was the key of the safe, unlocked the safe, taken the money and returned the key to the place whence it had been taken.
 His theory did not satisfy me, be- cause the thief would not have been likely to return the keys. MT. Tourte- lotte evidently considered me very stupid, declaring that, if the thief were a member of his household, not to re- turn the key to the place from which it had been taken would be to prove almost conclusively that he was a of the household. But MT. Tourtelotte was accustomed to lock and bolt his bedroom door on retiring.
 Before l started on my investiga- tions MT. TourtelOtte informed me that one of the members of his family was B governess, a young lady who had come to him with the very best of rec He had on several oc- casions given her the key to the safe when certain articles, such as silver ware for the table, were wanted, and

After the great fire it was al first thought that the ruins might be repaired. but too much damage having been done It was decided to pull the fabric down-a task In which many lives were lost. To put an end tO the tedious work Wren hit upon the idea of incloSing eighteen pounds of gun powder in wooden box and explOd- ing 1t under the central tower. The re suit was to lift the arches some nine inches. so that the ruins suddenly jumping down made great heap of ruin in the place without scattering, The architect proudly bOasted that his powder box had lifted 5000 tons and saved the labor of 1000 men -I.OndOn Graphic.

ROCKVILLE.

Rockville now has all-night street lights, the new service having begun Saturday night. In the past the lights have been turned off at one o'clock, and then in the winter months, relighted for an hour later in the morning when the mill operators are on their way to work. This extra hour service began each year in De- cember and extended until spring. The first night of all-night lighting, the lights were kept on till 6. 40. The shedule will be to turn the lights on half hour after sunset and keep them on till half hour before sunrise.
 Another smallpox case has developed as the result of the Bartlett case on Grove street At the time William Bartlett was taken down with the dis ease, there were three others families living in the house he occupied on Edward J. Newcomb and wife. The day after the Bartlett tenement was quarantined, the other three tenants, after being vaccinated, moved out. MT. Newcomb and his wife moved to Ellington avenue, just over the city line in the town of Ellington. He had been working every day since as a bartender. in Rockville. Saturday he came down with smallpox. The case presents an unusual complication. As the disease was contracted while MT. Newcomb was resident of Rock vile. the Ellington town authorities feel that it is up to the city to take care of the case. It is said that Mrs Bartlett, wife of the smallpox victim on Grove street, is i'll with the disease, she and her mother having been quar-. antined in their tenement with her husbahd. MT. Newcomb is now at his old home on Grove street, where. William Bartlett has been quarantined with smallpox. Newcomb walked to. his old home,, where his wife has. joined him.

she was the only one outside of his wife and children who had ever ham, dled the key. No servant on any ac- count was permitted to do so.
 My habit has always been to pay at tentiOn to every suggestion, and 1 en- tered this information in my mental notebook, but rely so confidently on my being able to tell by instinct a guilty from an innocent person as to discredit an accusation against any one my perceptive faculty declares in nocent. The gOverness, Miss Martin. did not even appear to realize that she was in a position to be suspected.
 It happened that there was no clew for me to work upon except what I could get from MT. Tourtelotte himself and. his suspicious having been fixed on Miss Martin, his mind was so taken up with this solution that there was no room in it for anything else. But I, who had investigated for indications of an entrance into the house, had learned that on the night of the rob- bery a window over a trellis had been left unlocked, and, though this did not prove that the thief had come from without. it indicated that he might have done so.
 After learning all there was to be learned so far as could see about the case I had absolutely nothing to work on. 1 do not remember to have been ever so completely baffled. Usually l have found some clew, even if it led me on a false scent. but in this case there was no clew at all. therefore said to MT. TourtelOtte:
 ''There is some information about this case that has not come to me Let us begin at the bottom. Tell me of every time you can remember o1 your safe key having left your keep. ing and who has had it.''
 He rdcked his brain for some time then said:
 There is only one time that the key has been out of my hands and gone Into other hands, and then only for a minute at most. The circumstance could not have had any possible con. neotion with this robbery"
 Tell me what you refer to.
 About two weeks ago I was travel ing in parlOr car. A gentleman hav- ing the next chair to me took up a suit case and, on putting his hand into his pocket for the key, found that he had left it at home. He seemed very much annoyed, saying he had some papers in his suit case it was essential that he look over before reaching his destination. He was a lawyer and as soon as he arrived must try a case in court to which the papers referred A gentleman sitting in the chair on the opposite side of the aisle offered him his key ring with a number of keys on it that he might see if any of them would fit the lock. He tried them all, but found none of them available
