There but thing to do. The detectives arrived from headquarters and began their inquiry with the usual apomb. They looked at Herr Goldenwassers letter and shook their heads. They also looked at the entry in the ledger, and shook their heads some more. One of them was de- spatched to find Herr Goldenwasser.
 There is such person Herr Godenwasser, leather merchant, at the address stated the letterhead,' he reported on his return.
 Meanwhile his colleagues had better luck. They examined the entry on the ledger. The manager said it was in the handwriting of Miss F.. the head bookkeeper, The cashier agreed So did several other officials. Miss F. an elderly lady of emi- nenty respectable appearance, forthwith put through highly professional grilling in the man agers private office.

She had been with the bank for twelve years And now, confronted with the forged entry she could only declare temphatic- ally that she had not written it. and protest with fearful vehemenee against the accusation. Yet there was the testimony of the handwriting. It had been examined minutey by an expert from headquarters, who said, on comparing 1t with nu- merous other samples of Miss Els hand, that the identity obvious.
 Tam afraid we will have to make arrest, whispered the Commissioner of Detectives to the bewildered manager.

His sharp features contrasted strangely with the kind somewhat absent-uinded expression of bis blue eyes. The manager of the bank greeted him eag- erly, almost exuberantly.

Immediately lineup of all the employees of the bank was ordered. Herr Scherrnann sat down at desk and the clerks were asked to pass one by one. Each had to write down the sentence, q have nothing to do with the forty millions" and sign his name. Suddenly Schermann seized the hand of 8 young and shouted, You are the forges!"
 The jumped back, as if hit in the face And Schermann, still holding his hand, addressed him.
 'fYour name is Ludwig Neumann. You have just signed yourself Louis Neumann. You have passport-you just got it-on which your name ap- pears Louis Nauhein. Don't try to deny it--I have seen it. You want to go to France And zee your poor parents, heartbroken by your crime. They want to die rather than to live in shame For their sake ven let you go-f you restore the money. Come.s
 But the young man had tainted dead away. When he was restored to consciousness he gulped down drink of water and said:
 There's no use. I'll tell you all about it. I'll return the money"
 He did tell all about 1t, including the name of his confederate. and added;

everyday relationships-has very hrm convictions on the subject of social obll- gations. He believes that he holds ms marvellous gift of second sight as sort of trusteeship, and that he must put It's benefit at the disposal of the common wealth. His exploits are verified by the vigorously scientific testimony of num- Der of experts, psychologists of estab- Lshed repute The noted Prof. Benedlkt of the University of Vienna has written a book about him. These scientists, how ever, confine themselves to stating the facts of the case-they frankly admit that explanation is beyond them.
 Rafael Schermann's latest triumph was achieved with 40,000,000 kronen forgery that occurred in one of the lead ing banks of the Austrian metropolis, an establishment on the fashionable Schot- tenring, well known to visiting Ameri- cans. The following account describes the cast exactly as it appears on the police records, but with fictitious names substi- tuted for those of the characters:
 One day few weeks ago the man. ager of the bank summoned his sec retry.

 "Yes, sir"
 Half an hour later the manager was confronted by the perplexed girl.
 "Awfully sorry, sir-they can't find it Herr Kraus wishes to speak to you about it."

 The cashier entered, excited and apolc
