Ianalyze those cigars. Hurry!" replied
the relentless taskmaster.
They took a bundle OF cigars to
Magnum's private laboratories in the
city, and started to work on the diff
cult analysis of the complex combus-
tion products of tobacco. The case
seemed clear now. Sir Julian smok-
ed; so would young Boyd. Lady
Boyd and the daughters would get
the fumes.
But the housekeeper? Why was
she attacked by the symptomss That
was the only fly in the deductional

the technical aspect-the higher aka

rated and identified. But they reveal
ed nothing unusual in the cigars.
By now the dizziness and internal
pains had gradually worn off. Mag

buzzing and he was telling decidedly
sick. Down below, sharp pains were
gnawing at him.
"Splendidw cried Magnum aloud.
They were the Boyd symptoms.
He was right on the track of the

tedious analysis of foods and drinks,

their atmospheric booty to the labo-
ratories in Upper Thames Street.
Magnum kept a show office in
Queen Victoria street, near to the
Mansion House, for the benefit of eli
ents. When they entered it, they
were invariably told by a solitary
clerk that Mr.. Magnum was away at
his laboratories or elsewhere. Then
the client would be handed a card

They examined the house from eel
lar to roof, Magnum striding ahead
and jingling the bunch OF housekeep-
er's keys. Meredith following with
eyes fixed more on his chief than on
the articles examined. He was con-
tent to leave the thinking end of the
work to Magnum and let his own
mind run fallow until some definite
analytical task were assigned to him.
They Investigated pantries and ccl-
lars, gas-supply, water-supply, cleo

ments. Magnum was naturally gift
ed with an inordinately keen sense of
smell. In his early days, before he
had started out as a scientific consult
ant and was merely a university post
graduate student, he had written a
monograph on odors.
He employed his sense of smell on
every food substance in the house,
including the remnants of the Boyd
meal, which by his orders had been
allowed to remain in statu quo.
Meredith watched him with implicit
faith in his powers of deduction; but
Magnum frowned disgustedly as test

mystery. He had hoped TO earn his

hours work, and then to spend

7 KEYS TO BALDPATE

Ingenuity with a big L spells the
success of George NJ. Cohan's mystery
farce, Seven Keys to Baldpate" which
pleased two audiences at the Grand
theater Friday. The idea of the play
is so different from that which act
yates the plot in most plays that every
minute of the farce is one of surprises.
Cohan has a reputation for doing
something different and in Seven
Keys he outdid his own reputation.
He even made a bigger hit than he did
the first time he had the American
flag waved in musical comedy.
Briefly told the story deals with the
efforts of a young man, writer of best
sellers to win a bet by writing
10000 word novel in twenty-four
hours. To do this the man goes to
''Baldpate Inn a summer hotel sit
uated on the top or snow-covered
and the action on the stage tells the
story. The audience is introduced to
the author before the story and given
a farewell glimpse after the story has
been written. All that transpires be-
tween the prologue and epilogue deals
with graft money. crooked politicians,
and murder. It's a best seller
audience all the thrills that go with
such things.
The production of the play is the
same as that of the original road
show which played in Topeka last sea
son. In place of Cyril Scott, who
created the role last season, is William
Wagner, unknown in these parts, but
a capable actor. The entire company
is changed with the exception of
Ernest Geyer, who plays the part of

HE HAD 1T ALL RIGHT
Register of Land Office Is Asked for
Patent That Was Issued
in 1865.

Due to the system under which
government records are preserved, the
receiver of the United States land Of
flee was not at all mystified when
he received a letter from an lola real
estate dealer asking for a patent to
some Allen county land issued in
1855.
Instead, he went to the proper
pigeonhole in his office, opened it
ana removed the half century old
document and sent it on its way The
document had been in the receivers
office for fifty years and would have
remained there one hundred more if
it had not been called for. The patent
was issued during the presidential ad-
miniStration of Andrew johnson, June
l, 1865. 1t was issued to Dicey and
Lit-ho-gee, girls, and Se-he-che-pee
boy, all children of Yoholo Harto
who is represented in the patent as
warrior captain, Creek volunteers,
Creek war;
The patent grants 100 acres of land
which lies about seven miles west of
where lola now stands to the persons
named above and their heirs forever.
For some reason the patent was not
taken out of the land office and has
remained there until it is yellow with
age. However, it is probably in a
much better state of preservation than
If it had been taken out years ago.
