The range of activity of the modern French
laboratory. thanks largely to Bayle's pioneer
work, is incredible. One large section Is de-
voted to fingerprint Identification, which has
been carried far beyond its original limitations.
The one weak point Of this system Is that CRIME
mails rarely leave q complete print of even one
finger. It is generally only q fragment where o
finger has touched lightly or sidewise a part
Of the finger has burst through pair Of silk
or chamois gloves. Thanks to microphotogs
raphy, a fragmentary print is quite sufficient
nowadays to convict o man. The laboratory
men will enlarge q print many times, chart
every one of the 1900 pores, all Of the ridges,
valleys, crossroads and peculiarities, and wiz
make map that is as different from another
print as Asia is different from America.
lot Of research work has also been done
in the Paris laboratory to distinguish the prints
of women from those of men. The chief differ.
ence is that the feminine prints are smaller
and finer.

THE racing elephant had done itl BY the
third day the Worlds Famous receipts had
travelled to the right side Of the ledger. On the
fourth day, the tent was crowded and on the
NTH and for the matinee Of the sixth. That
night crowds were flooding to the ticket wagon
when an excited Stats Warren came running
to the front door and asked for Charlie. Then
he followed on run to the edge Of the lot
where ShoestTing was just Tagging taxi.
"Quickl" he gasped. Come on backl Sny-

he asked. wildly, grasping Shoestring by the
coat. "You don't want that taxii We've got
to find Sadlim Bey."
I'm find him In this taxi" said Shoestring
Charlie. "Take me over to Moran's Marvellous
Circus" he commanded the driver. Then to
Stats Warren: "You poor sap, can't you see

AT last o maximum Of noise arrived: the

elephant responded
"Can you ride his head?" asked Shoestring
excitedly. They're waiting for you at the lot
and you've got 70 do down 70 the cars 6rse"
Sadhim Bey nodded and gave q command.
The elephant knelt Up to his head climbed
the East Indian and again gave . command.
Soon they were only lighter mark In the bulk

toward the wreck Of Morans Marvellous Indoor

Then he slammed the door. "Step on the
gasl" he commanded.
Ten minutes later the taxi stopped before
o bejeweled building. Shoestring entered,
glimpsing the scene before him; everything
there was color and gorgeouSneSs. The hang
ings were all in place. Palms waved about the
raised stages. Roses were banked around ring
and stage and hippodrome track. Every rope
was gilded
But now no performers were present. There
were no spectators; something unusual for
dress rehearsal Shoestring knew why; the
explanation lay in q red-trousered East Indian
who stood at one end Of the hippodrome track
and an elephant which waited at the other.
Sadhim Bey had apparently insisted on keep
ing his transfer secret until the first perform
ance. Again Shoestrtng gave everything
scowling survey; the menagerie and property
man waiting at the entrances, the performers
peeking through from the flags at the padroom,

squawking to do. see me tomorrow
Charlie shook his head.
"Have chirruped?" he asked.
Shifty Willie Moran merely turned his back
and signa1ed. At the end Of the hppodrome
track, Sadhim Bey let out that peculiar Screeeh-
ing call. Then he did q queer thing. He ran!
And Shoestring ran with himl
For from the other end OF the giant tnciosurSe
had come the sounds Of conflict. A glance over
their shoulders and they saw an asphalt-colored
hulk plunging forward, and taking noWer-
banked ring with him. Then Moran began TO

down to me at the carsl"
It was nearly two hours before the confer
ence was over. When Sadhtm Bey departed,
it was with an air Of excitement. When Shoe
string left his car, he lighted one cigarette from
the other. Then
"As the gamblers used TO say" came pleas
ant voice at his shoulder, "the squeal Of the
sucker is music to the ear" It was Shifty
Willie Moran. smiling with victory. "Ain't sore.
Old Pal? I was just about to fan you for

Shoestring jerked himself into polite COM
posure and obliged with the passes. The next
morning Shifty Willie Moran was gone, leaving
his compliments-and pale-yellow East Indian
who wrote him frtive letter each day.
Down the Pacific Coast went the Worlds
Famous Circus, at last to pull into the grounds
allotted it at the Western Jubilee. But there
little cheer awaited. The reServed-seat man re-
ported no long queues Of DESTROYS purchasers.
There was q reason. The Worlds Famous
billing had been overwhelmed by an avalanche
Of posters, which literally Numbered:

And there were captive balloons, floating
from the tops Of buildings, all demanding that
a public wait for one short week after the
opening Of Charles circus until the greatest
indoor affair that the Pacific Coast ever had
seen could be completed. Charlie pulled hard
at his breath. Shifty Willie Moran, he knew.

it in . way to utterly wipe out any possible
competition.
NOR was that all. There was the building
itself; fiimsy In construction, It was true, but
the audience wouldn't know that. What count
ed was the frontal studdfng Of glass jewels,
which would glitter with q thousand c0lors
when the lights were turned on at night. There
were raised stages and rings, banked about by
gorgeously colored draperies And In the center
there was throne, with plaster Of paris statu-

"Shifty's goin' to cop of Sadhim Bey?" the

.TILDEN IS RUSTY

Of Youthful Net Star

New York, Feb. IS Rl-Back from
six months exile from the ranks of

Tilden has found that time and the
younger tennis generation have
stolen a march Oh him. His first

Tilden, with rusty strokes that fail
ed at times to place the ball where
he waited it. Taking the courts
against the youth, speed and power
of John Van Ryn, former Prince
ton captain and youth and speed
were served to the surprising tune
of 6-1, GA. CO.
The final proved that Iilden has
a lot of practice ahead of him be-
fore he again can qualify for top
flight competition. The big fellow
had no trouble against more medi-
OGRE competition in sweeping through
three rounds in one day to reach
the final. But there he found his
six months lay off from competition
had left him too far out of practice
to cope with the Orange, N. j.,
youth who rave up chance for a
Davis Cup post last spring to COM
plete his college course. ....
Tilden found himself up against
too great barrier to his third
straight victory in the annual indoor
fixture in his own cratic DlaV and
the brlliance of his young opponent.
Big Bill often found the net or
drove outside. while Van Ryn play
ed steadily, raking the back line
with powerful, sharply angled drives
that called for more speed and
spring than Tilden's 36-year old legs
could muster. He mingled with the
