McGloyne gasped, and Laneham turned
to him smilingly:
"Oh, have no gift of second sight, In
spector. I'm merely giving you a little
racial psychology. Goddard of Vineland
would say | stole it from the Binet tests,
which are tests that show our mental
capabilities by age and by nationality
One of the first facts those tests have
brought out is that no ltalian-or almost
no other southern European with little
education-can remember our three and
four-number American addresses. If you
came from town or village, as she
did, where there are no house numbers of

your mind anything like that is appalling.
Go down to any four-room fiat in Little
Italy, and you'll find, somewhere, an adj

won't trust paper; it might be lost or
burnt. Maddalina had some education,
but it was an even toss that the rule would

that she had been doing the inside work.
"Finally through Maddalina and Jimmy

Maddalna witness it, And, since at the

"For one thing, we had found Jimmy.
From the first | believed him innocent,
and for this simple reason: He had stayed
to give Vikings that rifled money letter,
when there was every probability that
Vikings would open it at once and dis
cover that the money had been taken.
Did criminal or the accomplish of crim-
nails ever take that chance? Against that
big fact, his record had no weight whatever.
Jimmy implicated Maddalina And
now, before going any further, let us see
what our problem really was.
Ut was battling simply because there
were somany elementsin it that seemed
mutually contradictory. A CHASTITY muir
der had been committed, and an attempt
upon the jewel safe, both in the same
afternoon. Yet the attempted robbery
did not take place until twenty minutes
after the murder; apparently the robbers
were unaware that murder had been
DONE
Before the entrance of the jewel thieves
into the apartment, somebody or some
thing else had entered, and had knocked
crafty on the walls and called upon
his God. The thing whatever it was
came before the jewel thieves and
also after them. Fisher, whom already
suspected showed clearly enough, when
he heard the voice and the knocking
that he knew no more about it than the
rest of us.
"A tangled sort of situation, wasn't
it? Here We're jewel thieves, a murderer,
an apparition, and Fisher, all of them
mixed up in some way with the murder,
and yet each of them apparently having
no knowledge of or connection with the
rest.
"What thread could we lay hold of in
such tangled skein? Maddalina seemed
to offer the best chance. had an idea
also that we might find some useful adj
dresses written on her walls"
