known by the proprietor to get past
the several locked doors that led into
the resort.
The furtive little man was known
to the proprietor as an expert on
locks of all kinds. especially such as
money changers put on their doors
and strong boxes. He had only the
month before left a prolonged stay
with the state, a stay much against
money changers strong box several
years before. The little mans cur.
rent name was Schmidt.
Schmidt was a bit nervous because
some of his friends told him that
some one had been inquiring as to
his whereabouts in the last few days.
Now Schmidt had departed from the
custody of the state with the states
full knowledge and consent, his term
being up. But 1t made him nervous.
anyway. to hear that some one was
asking about him.
So he felt the need of relaxation.
This lokal. as he knew. was safe from
the police, and he looked there for
a breath of respite.
He breathed more freely when the
many doors he had negotiated were
closed and locked behind him. and he
found himself in room as yet sparse
ly filled with quietly talking and drink
ing men and women, some of whom
he knew slightly. He was a recluse
of man, so he called for a pack of
cards and ordering stein of Kuhn
bacher beer, arranged the candles on
his table, and began a game of soli-
taire.
Hello, Wehncke" some one said.

that lie had named so many close pals
of his quieted his fears for the mo-
ment. He did not. however. take him
TO his bosom and trust him merely be-
cause he had named good names.
The stranger treated to drinks,
chatted of harmless subjects. urged
Wehncke to go on with his game of
salitaire, contenting himself with look
ing on.
Finally, however. he suggested a
two-handed game of casino for small
stakes. Wehncke was in the mood
now for quiet recreation and consent
ed. They played for half an hour.
when the proprietor of the lokal be-
gan closing up.
II can't go to sleep yet" the
stranger said to Wehncke. II sug-
gest we go to my hotel and play some
more i'm my room. I've got some good
Moselle and TOkay there and good
pipe tobacco from England. What do
you say?"
Wehncke was winning. The stran-
ger seemed bent on nothing but recrea-
ton. Wehncke was fond of good wine.
especially MOselle and Tokay. Indeed
it seemed providential that the stran-
ger should name just the two wines
and the tobacco Wehncke loved best.
So he consented and the two took a
belated taxi and rode to Prefers" ho-
tel, where they spent the rest of the
night playing cards. smoking English
pipe tobacco and slipping good Moselle
and Tokay.
When morning came Wehncke had
won an agreeable amount of pocket
money. though nothing extraordinary:
had enjoyed the playing. the wine and
the tobacco, and left the hotel to go

That evening Anna Kurtz came in

| Ordinarily there were clerks about in

mood and were gathered in the main

| glanced occasionally into, the corridor,
as if to assure herself that no one
| would interrupt her at her work Sew
eral times she seemed to hear some
one coming. At such moments she
would quickly resume her position on
the floor by the side Of her scrubbing.
But at about II in the evening she
rose suddenly and went to one of the
| cabinets of the Archiv. Taking out
key and slip of paper from the
bosom of her dress. she unlocked one
of the drawers and, glancing at
fldIle "TikLeH Ou TIE DdDCI, sic
searched and quickly found a certain
| card in the cabinet. For some min
utes she copied on a slip of paper
what she read on that card.
Then she put the card back in its
place, closed the cabinet and locked
I it, thrust the key and the slip of pa
per back in her bosom, and resumed
her work. BY midnight she was
through and left, convinced that no
one had by any chance seen her in
teresting interlude.
She did not go home to her mother,
but took a taxi to quiet restaurant
near Wurttembergerplatz. Here she
was met by Henkel, her most as
siduous cavalier. She found occa sion
when she thought nobody was look
ing to slip into his hand a bit of paper.
Soon after that he put her into q
taxi, and himself got into another.
He left it several blocks from his
destination. He had alighted in a
sparsely settled semi-suburban section
of Berlin and the night was far ad-
vanced. The man saw not soul.
Nevertheless he kept a sharp lookout
and as he turned the corner he
whisked about sharply as though to
catch some one spying on him.
But he seemed satisfied that his
suspicious had no ground and when
he turned into a bleak little garden
near the railroad track he looked no
more behind him. At the door OF
the house at the far end of the gar
den, however, he did take the pre-.
caution of giving low cough, plain
ly a signal.
But when a moment later the front |
door opened and a man let him in, |
without showing any light, the visitor
dismissed from his mind any thought |
that he might have been followed in |

Race fermentation.
MORE than one invsst,s.,or -.

MORE than one investigator holds
the view that the pigmentatior
OF the races is due TO feeding. IL is
pointed out that in the animal world
color is often determined by food. and
IL Is contended that by chemical proc
ess the same results are shown in the
dlnerent human races. According 10
this theory, then, the original man
was black, since his chief diet must
nave been vegetarian. Fruit and veee
tables contain manganates that ally
themselves with iron, CONSTITUTING "a
dark brown combination" IL is said
that negroes who add meat and milk
to their vegetable fare are never as
dark as those negroes who eat only
vegetables
Indians are red. it appears. because
they nave absorbed for generations
heHogioDin, the red substance in the
blood OF animals killed for food.
Mongols are yellow by reason Of the
dark, fruit-eating races who penetrated
into the plains of Asia. became shep.
herds and lived to a great extent on
milk. which contains chlorine and has
a bleaching effect.
Ine CaucaSlans were another branch
who became still whittier by adding
salt TO their dietary. Common salt
is strong chloride and a powerful
agent In bleaching the skin. The ef-
rect can be seen. IL Is declared, in the
case OF negro children who have been
reared on white dietary. They
are never so black as their kindred
who have not abandoned vegetarian
ism.

| trade marks" of burglary at the
antiquary's tailed so perfectly with
the suspects record in the kriminal
Archiv that mere coincidence seemed
too simple an explanation. Also as
such a coincidence would weaken the
prestige of Meldwesen. the police
looked for some other theory.
Not only is there the coincidence
of the exact duplication of technique
in the burglary trade mark but
there is also the coincidence that the
| aibi only by the narrowest of mar
gins. No, let us see If there isn't some
other explanation.
Deadly German machine.like logic
began to weave theories.
The trade marks are exactly
alike. Therefore, either the same
man was at the bottom Of it, or some
pupil or confederate of his. Or
some one initiated that trade mark
But the suspect had practically prov
ed his alibi. And we know from his
record that he has never had an ac.
complice or partner in crime: always
played lone hand. Therefore some
one has initiated his trade mark If
SO, why?"
ITO cast suspicion on the suspect"
was the tentative conclusion. The sus-
pect was then asked had he any enc
mics? No, he replied, and the fact
that 1t would have served him better
TO say yes helped belief
Then" decided German police
logic. 'it was done by some one who
knew Of his technique and. though
not an enemy, initiated it to throw
suspicion off himself and onto this
man. But the trade mark tallies so
closely with our record of 1t that it.
must have been studied either at the
scene of the burglaries or in our own
files"
The first seemed improbable. But to
assume the latter was uncomfortable
That would mean that some one on the
inside at police headquarters who had
access to the kriminal Archiv may
have studied the record of the sus-
pect and given it TO some one else to
initiate and thereby throw the police
off the scent. In American terminol-
ogy of the underworld. somebody may
have planted" the suspect.
That would be so novel and effective
a device that one could expect it's use
again. Perhaps Ii had even already
been used. In examining this posi-
bility the police re-examined the cases
of the suspects in the two preceding
burslaries. The one accused of bur

seen, not az sleeping, but as awaking,
with half-opened eyes~as the eyes re-
mained the last time seen.
In this way many artists up to 1857
drew the face as II looked to them-as
1t should look today. And all French
people are familiar with it.
DO the old 'soldiers-the familiar
and devoted veterans who watch by
night to see the ghost-do they behold
that face?
Two claim to have seen it, But n
young st. Cyr cadet (equivalently a
