SoLoMoN'S GREAT WORK
is SUNG At MONTE CARLO

THE Song Of Songs: In two
parts, book and music by King
Solomon" has had Its premiere at
the Prince of Monaco's opera house
at Monte Carlo, with Yvonne Gall,
well.known here, singing the role
OF the Shulamite woman and the
tenor Anssesu as Solomon. The
music, as played at the ancient
Jerusalem Conservatory Of Music,
had been long believed to exist, but
no one was sure whether the queer
dots and dashes accompanying the
verses in the Kovno Bible could be
played and sung.
Raoul Gunsbourg, the Monte
Carlo director, transcribed this
material, however, and triumph
antly produced II In two scenes.

Police, 1.-The man was Frenchman. "
The Envoy went on with his sum-
mary of the evidence.
''The late visitor, Frenchman
the quarrel; the dead man remaining
in the library; the spots Of blood on
this floor that dripped from the wea-
pom in the assassin's hand as he
went out-he escaped from the door
into the street: it is all certain, mon
yonder into the garden and thence
sieur?"
at is all very certain" replied the
Prefect. He paused-then:
but while the events are certain,
| am not precisely certain that we
have the same conception of them.
For example, monsieur, will you tell
me how, in your opinion, the
assassin escaped from the garden
into the street? This garden was
not used; the gate leading into the
street is nailed up: should be glad
of your opinion on this point"
with pleasure" replied the Orien-
tai.
The man escaped form the gar
den in the simplest fashion. He
climbed over the wall, monsieur.
The wall is of no great height. 1t
is entirely possible"
Monsieur Jonquelle lifted his eye
brows like one relieved from a per-
plexity.
4"Quite possible" he said. "An
assassin could have climbed over the
wall without the slightest difficulty
/ am obliged for your opinion on
this manner of escape, monsieur"
For moment he seemed to re-
fleet; then he addressed another
ing to the closed door for the library
beyond them. II should be glad to
know how you think they came
here"
'"Ihe explanation is entirely
clear" replied the Turkish Envy.
"The assassin went out in haste with
the knife in his hand, and these
blood-drops dripped from the point
of it,"
That would be possible, mon
iseur," replied Jonquelle. THAT
might happenP'
You have observed these blood
drops, monsieur? They are quite
clear"
Il have observed them closely"
replied the Project of Police. ''There
are seven of these blood-drops. They
are about the length of mans step
apart, and they are each clearly visi-
Bile on white square of the floor.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1922-12-09

Your explanation seems admirable,
monsieur"
He turned suddenly from a con-
temptation of these evidences into a
vague casuistry.
Monsieur" he said, " have
thought a great deal about chance
evidences of crime. Do you suppose
there are any lawssof chance?"
The Oriental seemed 20 reflect.
1.-The very word chance, mon
sieur," he said, ''precludes the run
ing of any law. Events which re-
suit from the operation of law are
naturally outside of the definition Of
the word. chance "
The p,efect of Police did not pause
to discuss this comment; he went
on, as though the reply were merely
an interruption of his discourse.
Events" he said, "al indicatory
evidences in criminal investigation,
we divide into two classes; those
which happen by chance. By de-
sign we mean individual, and by
chance we mean all those events
which happen outside of such an in
tention. Would you think, monsieur,
that there would be any distinguish
ing features, by virtue of which
one might put indicatory evidences
of crime under one or the other of
these heads?"
He continued as though he had
enterd upon subject which closely
engaged his attention.
at is an immense and fascinating
field for speculation. 1t seems to be
the persistent belief Of every human
intelligence that it can, by design,
create sequence of indicatory evil
I dences, which will have all the APP
pearance of happening by chance.
But after long reflection and the
study of innumerable instances,
have come to the conclusion that
this thing cannot be done. 1t is my
opinion that no human intelligence
can grasp the vast ramification of
events with sufficient comprehen-
sion to enable it to lay down a Sc
quence of false evidences that will

THE TRIANGULAR HYPOTHESIS
THE TRIANGULAR HYPOTHESIS

The mans loose body seemed to
have been packed into his clothing
as though under a pressure. There
was the vague note of victory in his
voice.
Monsieur" he said, mo dead
Frenchman has ever been valued tc
US at less than fifty thousand francs
He may have been a worthless ven
dor of roast chestnuts before the
Madeleine, but if he died in STAN
boul, he was straightway worth
fifty thousand francs. You will OBJ
serve, monsieur, that your govern.
ment has already fixed the price fol
murder"
The Prefect of Police looked
across the long, empty room at the
closed door.
But was this dead man a citizen
of the Turkish Empire? We seem
10 have a memory of him"
Inc oriental smiled.
Citizens" he said, "are of two
classes-your Foreign Office has laid
it down--the citizen which, is bor<
and the citizen which is acquired.
Each are valued to us at least fifty
thousand francs, as your schedule in
the indemnities to the Sublime Porte
70 clearly set it out. Dernburg
Pasah was acquired, monsieur. But
he is dead! And the indemnity for
him, as you have so admirably estab-
lished, it is not subject to dis
count :, You came from the For
eign Office, monsieur"
The. Project of Police bowed. He
Put his hand into the pocket of his
coat as with a casual gesture, his
fingers closing over an article that
lay concealed there.
The Envoy went on:
Il found the Minister Delaux Of
an unfailing courtesy; if a subject
our empire has been murdered in
Paris, an adequate indemnity would
be paid"
The scene at the Foreign Office,
when he had been called in before
the Minister, came up for an instant
to Monsieur Jonquelle. The tail,
elegant old man had been profoundly
annoSed. This murder came at
pexatious moment, at precisely the
moment when the Foreign Office was
pressing for the indemnity on the
French subjects slain in STEAMBOAT.
The very argument had been un-
fortunate. Stamboul must be made
safe, and here was Paris unsafe!
Here was Dernburg Pasha dead in
the -Faubeurg St. German.

reply, to the Minister. He had come

he did not wait for a reply. He
seemed to lose all interest in the sub
ject with the closing word of his
final sentence. He turned abruptly
to another phase of TIE matter.
Monsieur" he said, what, in
your opinion, was the motive for
this death of Dernburg?"
The Oriental replied at once.
81 do not know that, monsieur"
he said. But does it matter? We
are not concerned to establish the
motive for this murder. l do not
care even to establish the identity
of the assassin. We have estab-
l,shed that he is French and that is
sufficient for the indemnity. You
may determine the motive, if you
like"
81 have already determined it,"
replied Jonquelle.
And what was it, monsieur, since
you have determined it,"
ut was despair" replied the Pre-
feet of Police. DO you know what
Dernburg Pasha was doing in
Paris?

down to the house in the Faubourg
St. German of Paris; he had gone
over it; he had examined every
thing; but he had made no com
ment. Either he had arrived at no
conclusion, or else he had large
knowledge of the affair, coupled
with some definite plan.
1t was an old house, maintaining
in its essential a departed elegance.
The floor of the drawing-rOom was
of alternate blocks of white and
black marble, laid down like chess
board. There was a door at one end
leading into a smal-walled garden.
On the other side of the drawing
room, directly opposite, there was
another door of precisely the same
character leading into sort of
library-the room in which Dern-
burg had been found in the morning,
dead on the floor.
To the Envoy of the Turkish gov
eminent in Paris, this assassination
had the aspect of diplomatic
flavor. he had gone at once to the
Foreign Office with his demand for
an indemnity, and then he had come
here into this drawing-room and sat
down before the door until the mat
ter should be settled.
Monsieur is satisfied? he said.
He has seen everything?"
Il have not quite seen every
thing" replied Monsieur Jonquelle,
his glance travelling to the slight
bulge in the mans tight-ftting
waistcoat pocket, "but am entirely
satisfied"
'Phe evidences are complete, mon
sieur," said the Envoy, smiling.
"Dernburg Pasha lived alone in this
house. Late last night a French
man called on him. They were in
the room yonder together. The
'4HNN"o "SlC OpClS dlLHOuSH bu6
shutters were closed. Persons pass
ing on the street heard the voices
distinctly-the voice of French
man, monsieur, and the voice of
Dernburg Pasha. 1t is not trpe?"
unfortunately, monsieur, we can
not deny it, 1t is precisely the
truth" -.--l.,----.>
And it cannot be denied that
Dernburg Pasha is dead. He was
found this morning on the floor of
the library yonder, with his throat
cut-monsieur has himself observed
the indicatory evidences of this
assassination. The late visi-
tor"-he looked up sharply-mon-
