as part Of plan to harmonic Latin

to see what deductions he would
make after inspecting the scene OF
crime.
She opened the inner door, remark
ing that the damage wrought by OFF,
, Ger Pinto had been repaired few
hours after the murder and that the
police departments seal had been re-
moved only a short while ago. The
Phantom passed into the narrow
| chamber, only slightly altered In ap-
pearance since the time of his last
visit. The realization that he was
viewing the scene of a crime supposed
to have been perpetrated by himself
appealed strongly to his dramatic in
| stinct, and the thought that at this
| moment the police were searching for
him with a fine-toothed comb lent a
touch of humor to the situation.
The woman stepped to the small
window in the rear and raised the
| shade, then stationed herself at the
door, peering at him out of wary, mar.
row-lidded eyes, as if intent on his
slightest move. The Phantom glanced
at the rickety desk at which Gage had
sat while haggling over petty sums
and figuring percentages to the frac-
ton of a cent.

A scarcely perceptible shiver ran

else can think?" she parted.
He shrugged his shoulders. The
impression haunted him that she was
not so sure OF the Phantom's guilt as
she appeared. He ran his eyes over
the floor. the walls and the murky
ceiling.

hidden openings, either" she told him.

The attempt satisfied him that even a
smaller man than himself would have
found it impossible to squeeze through.
That left only the door as a means
of egress and ingress. and the door
had been bolted on the inside when
officer Pinto arrived, which circum-
stance seemed to render 1t fatty i'm
| possible for the murderer to have es-
capped that way. He tried the lock
and examined the stout bolt. then
stepped through to the other side,
dosing the door behind him. A
wrinkle of perplexity appeared above
his eyes. Even the Phantom's nimble
wits could not devise a way of passing
through the door and leaving 1t bolted
on the inside. The feat did not seem
feasible, and yet the murderer must
have accomplished 1t. His face wore
a. frown as he re-entered the little
chamber.

housekeeper seemed to have read his

his valuables."

Phantom smilingly put in.
Mrs. Trippe nodded. There's a
spring somewhere that opens and
shuts 1t, but none Of us could find it,
and so Lieut.. Colligore had to break
the drawer OPEN" III
Yet the cross was gone" observed
the Phantom. land the drawer was IN
tact when Lieut.. Culligore found it.
That would seem to indicate that the
murderer knew how to operate the
spring.
well, hasn't the Phantom proved
that he knows just about all there is
to know" -
Il am sure the Phantom would feel
highly complimented If he could hear
you say that" He smiled discreetly,
realizing that here was another item
of proof, for he was willing to wager
that. though he had never seen Gage
work the spring, he could have opened
the drawer without laying violent
hands upon 1t.
He turned to the window, carefully
examined the catch, then raised the
lower half and endeavored to thrust
his shoulders through the opening.

murder as the chief sensation.
Nothing had as yet been discovered
which threw the faintest light on the
peculiar manner in which the slayer
had left the scene of his crime, and
1t was regarded as doubtful whether
this mysterious phase of the case
would be cleared up until after the
Gray Phantom's arrest. 1t had been
ascertained that the notorious criminal
was not aboard any of the vessels that
had sailed for foreign ports since the
murder, so 1t was thought probable
that the fugitive was still in the coun-

police officials that the dragnet would
gather him in before long.

Edison as a Sleeper
(St. Paul Dispatch)

Thomas A. Edison's reputation the worlds
shortest sleeper is lettering The great inventor,
now 80 years old, is going in for beds than he
has during most of his life, his SON says.
Many have long marveed at the ability Of the
wizard of Menlo Park" to stay awake unconscion-
ably long hours in his laboratories and retain his
mental and physical vigor on half the sleep most
people require Throughout his working life he has
slept only four or five hours at stretch out OF
the "a. But many are not aware of his practice OF
snatching few minutes additional sleep while sit
ting in his chair or reclining laboratory table.
He has the happy faculty Of falling almost instant
ly into sound slumber no matter where or what
position he is in. says his son.
This is principle well Known to medical science
and helps to explain Edison's remarkable powers
Of sustained concentration The secret of refresh
ing sleep is not much the number Of hours as its
soundness. Freedom from worry or excessive
fatigue is the main secret of sound Sleep Frequent
periods of complete relaxation arc great rcstorei
of ebbing energy
