BOURBON COLLEGE GROUNDS
AND BUILDINGS ARE SOLD


Bourbon College grounds and build
ings were sold Tuesday, by the owner
and principal, Mrs. M. c. Thomson, to
Mr.. Clifton Arnsparger, at a price said
to have been about $4,000, though
the exact figure was not made public.
The property has been used for a
school since 1870, when the Sisters of
Visitation organized st. JOseph's
Academy. They conducted the insti-
tute for about fifteen years, when it
was purchased by Mrs. Mary Ware
Berry, who conducted a school for
girls. Prof. M. G. Thomson bought
the place fourteen years ago from Mr..
w. II. Mcmillan, and continued it as a
school for girls and young women.
About two months ago Mrs Thomson,
who has had charge of the school
since the death of Prof. Thomson last
July, decided to accept the principal
ship of Hamilton College, in Licking
ton, and since that time the property
has been on the market.
1t was hoped that some one would
buy it for educational purposes and
continue the school on the same high
plane that it has occupied for so many
years, but no offer being made to this
end, Mrs. Thomson made the above
mentioned disposition of the place.
1t is admirably adapted for division
into city building lots and will make
an ideal subdivision for those desir-
ing homes removed from the city
noise and confusion, and yet convent
entity located from every point of in
schools, churches,
interurban car line, etc. Mr.. Arm
sparger will make this disposition of
the grounds, and convert the build
ings into flats.

CHAPTER XII.
The BIOOd.Staiued Glove.

| do not know what 1t was I
expected to see, as l leaped from
my chair and peered oyer God
frey's shoulder.
1t was an ordinary rubber glove
such as surgeons sometimes use,
and 1t was torn and crumpled, as
though it had been the subject
of struggle.
Look here" said Godfrey.
Then / saw that against the
end of every finger had been
glued a strip of rubber, and that
the surface of each of these strips
was covered with an intricate pat
tern of minute lines.
Forged finger-prints! That's
new idea in crime, isn't 1t, Sim
monds?" and Godfrey laughed ex-
citedly. Did you notice the
stains, doctor?"
Yes" said Human. II think
they're blood-stains. That will be
easy enough to determine.
WELL" answered Godfrey,
smiling, my idea is that Silva
got the blood for the finger
prints from the blood-soaked
handkerchief, which Swain prob
ably dropped when he fled from
the arbor, and which Silva picked
up and dropped beside the chair"
That's reasonable enough"
agreed Human, but what / can't
understand is how he made these
reproductions"
where is that book of finger
prints you spoke about, Lester?"
asked Godfrey.
l went to the bookcase, got II
out and turned to the place where
the page of SWANS finger-print
had been.
ut must have been this miss
ing page which gave Miss Waugh
an her first suspicion of the
TRUTH" said Godfrey. perhaps
1t was pure inspiration-or per-
haps she knew that Silva could
reproduce finger-prints."
How could finger-prints be re-
produced?" asked Simmonds.
"Weli, said Godfrey, slowly, 1.-The
first thing is to get a good set
of the prints to be reproduced.
That Silva got from this album.
Then he probably dtransferre
Them to a plate OF zinc or copper
and ate them out with acid. Once
the mold is secured. it is merely
a question of pressing india-rub-
ber-mixture into 1t and then
heating the rubber until It hard
ens--just as a rubber stamp Is
made. The whole process would
take only few hours. And now
suppose we make q little excur-
sion to the roof" Il
We all followed Godfrey as he
led the way upstairs.
There was q trap-door at the
top, lying open, and we stepped
through 1t out upon the roof.
Here had been built q platform
about eight feet square. with a.
low railing around IL. / saw God
frey's torch playing rapidly overl
the boards of the platform, then
he marshalled US In the middle of
It.
We stood silent moment, and
could hear Godfrey shifting his
feet cautiously along the boards |
of the floor.
What's that" cried Simmonds |

what is this, anyway" Hin
man demanded.
"It's merely a device OF one OF
the cleverest fakirs who ever
lived" said Godfrey. Take the
torch. Simmonds, and let us see
how IL works."
He dropped TO his knees while
Simmonds lighted him. and | saw
that there was a hole in the floor
about three inches In diameter.
Godfrey felt carefully about II
for a moment. and then raised u
hinged section of the floor, about
eighteen inches square.
In line with the little hole was
an upright metal tube about a
foot loag, ending in small
square box. Beside the tube, a
slender iron rod ran from the plat
form down into the box.
That's the lever that sets II
off," remarked Godfrey, tapping
the rod. "A pressure of the foot
did it,"
He pulled the rod loose, seized
the tube, and lifted the whole ap-
paratus out upon the platform.
Lets take 1t down where we
can look at It," he said, and led
the way back to the library.
After q moments examination.
he pulled back a little bolt and
tilted the top of the box, with
the tube attached. to one side.
A curious mechanism lay re-
yealed. There was powerful
spring, which could be wound up
with a key, and a drum wound
with filament-like wire and con-
nected with a simple clock-work
to revolve 1t. Two small dry-bat-
teries were secured to one side vi
the box, their wires running to
the drum.

than once, and never more sc
than when | found him at the
breakfast table, as fresh and rosy
as though he had had a full

me. Were to hear Miss Waugh

ing 1t for granted" he added. with
a smile, that I'll be welcome, as
well as Human.
THAT doesn't need saying"
retorted, and ten minutes later
We were on the way to Elmhurst.
There was a man on guard at
the library door, but he allowed
Us to pass when we gave our
uames.
"Mr. Lester!" And a vision of
young womanhood. with smiling
lips and radiant eyes came quick
ly toward me, with hands out
stretched.
Miss Vaughan" l cried, and
took the hands and held them.
Can you forgive me?" she de-
manded.
For what?"
"For treating you so badly

ting down and motioning us to
follow her example. Where shall
| begin?"
"Begin," I suggested. Eat the
moment when you first suspected
the plot"
THAT was when you were tell
ing me of Fred's arrest. When
you told of the handkerchief and
the finger-prints. I knew some-
one was plotting against him.
And then, quite suddenly, /
thought of something. i
my father, for many years,
had been a collector of finger
prints. II was sort of hobby;
but 1t was, for some reason, dis
tasteful to Senior Silva. One
night, after a particularly hot ar
gument. Senior Silva made the as |
sertion that he could, by hypnotic
suggestion, cause his servant
Mahbub to reproduce any finger
prints he desired.
Father said that IL Senior Sill
va could show him proof of that
he would never look at
finger-prints again. Senior Silva
asked for week in which to
make study of fathers book Of
prints, in order to impress them
upon his memory; at the end of
that time, the test was made.
"6enor Silva, father and I sat
1t the table yonder. under the
light, with the book of prints be-
lore US. Mahbub was placed at |
/ little table in the far corner,
With his back to us. and Senior
Viva proceeded to hypnotic him.
Then he placed an ink-pad on
he table in front Of him-noth-
ng else. My father wrote HIS
name and the date upon the top
sheet of a pad of paper, and Senior
silva placed 1t before Mahbub. |
