Purloined Letter got to do with our temporary wedding present?"
 Dear me!' I exclaimed Don't you remember the story of The Purloined Letter? Listen. then:
 "A minister of France has stolen an important letter and hidden it in his house. Its recovery IS im- perative and the highly trained services of the French police are enlisted At various times during the minister's absence the police examined his house with character istic thoroughness. They examine every square inch of his rooms and furniture. And-they fail They fail because they are mathematicians without imagination-and because the minister is poet as well as a mathematician. Poe's detective is called in. He reasons, that the minister, knowing the conventional thoroughness of the French police, is too clever to conceal the letter in the conventional way; he req sons that the minister will leave it where it is so apparent to the eye that it will be ignored. Poe's de- tective is right-and the letter is found in an old envelope stuck carelessly in pasteboard card-rack hung on the wall"
 But I still don't see what you mean!' Lucy cried impatiently. Do you, Jerry?"
 I'm listening, he grinned. Go ahead, Uncle John"
 Jerry is smart lad and I chuck led.
 Cast your minds. back to. that poker game. Lundy is left alone in his room with his ill-gotten vim nings. The check and. the mining transfer represent, in his estima- tion, around half million dollars. These papers are not negotiable by anybody else, but their value is known and if they got into unscru- oulous hands, they could be sold pack to either Lundy or Peterson for considerable sum. Torridity is full of desperate characters doesn't it boast of being the tough est town in the West?-and Lundy decided against carrying the e m around on his person until he re- cords the one and cashes the other. His desk is too flimsy to protect them and his safe is broken. What. then, does he do with them?" You know very well what he did with them!" Lucy exclaimed, shaking me.
 Come on. Uncle John," Jerry Egrinned- Lucy can't stand 1t any longer"
 I beamed on the boy. Now Lundy was a bit of poet-wtt- ness that secret room He placed the check and transfer between the leaves of that calendar and made them secure with three thum D tacks driven into the wall. And there they stayed for 30 years-and here they arel"
 With dramatic gesture which I had been practicipg since last night I whipped the check and transfer out of my pocket and presented them to Jerry. He took them

BAND CONCERT HELPS INSANE,
 TEST PROVES

CHICAGO, Sept. zo.-Band music as an aid in the treatment of in- sanity was used for the first time recently at the Cunning State Hos pital,
 Two thousand patients sat for an hour and half in rapt atten- ton while A. Leon Blooms band rendered marches, jazz and folk songs. The concert was arranged by pr, Alex s. Hershfield, former state alienist, who originated the idea of using music in treating the insane.
 Like Martial Airs
 From the reaction of the pa- tients, am convinced that band instruments are more effective than those of an orchestra, which we have employed innumerable times, Dr. Hershfield said last night. "The brass instruments have a martial, and consequently, more stimu- lating effect.
 "One of the first things to attain in aiding mental cases is the pro duction of what we call insight that is consciousness or awareness of circumstances and environment. We have learned that this insight can in many instances be inspired by music.
 Jazz Songs Helpful
 Jazz music is exceedingly stimu- lating and seems to give the best results. Folk songs, too, are valu- able. because among the foreign pa tients-and half of the Cunning inmates are foreigners-they awak- en memories and therefore, inspire insight.
 There is no doubt that music is a therapeutic aid in treating functional insanity. Of course, it is no cure-all and can have little effect upon the organic ailments, or cases in which the brain struc- ture itself is marred."
 Seventy-five per cent of the pa tients who heard the recital indi- cated the effect of insight" Dr. Hershfield pointed out, by thank ing members of the band.
