Miss Curry. To be sure. 1 have
read 1t in your book, but it is far
more definite to hear you say 1t. I'd
rather not show you the writing
of this man"
at is not necessary, Mr.. Stone.
The opening at the bottom of the
letter is, l am sure, always there.
1t may be almost undiScoverable,
even with strong lens, but it is
there, as you will find, if you try
hard enough"
do you often meet this letter
formation in specimens sent to you
to analyze?"
"No; such people and their
friends, if the friends know about
it, prefer to keep such things hid
den. In fact, l have never seen a
clearer, more positive delineation
of 1t than the one you showed me" "
"All graphologists know of this
fact, of course?"
"Oh, yes; and many laymen."
Stone showed Miss Curry a few
letters he wanted to know about,
and then, the interview over, he
went home.
"GuesS I'll have to study up on
it a Bit" he told himself.
He went over his letters and pa
pers again.
He had told Bob to get all pos
sible bits of handwriting done by
anyone connected with the case,
and he had also told him to cut off
all names or addresses, which
would help 10 identify them.
Moreover, he found that two of
the specimens, by different hands,
both bore that strange broken at
the base.
One of these he knew to. be that
Of the lawyer, Farman.
1t would be plausible enough to
think that Farman was eager for a
large sum of money, but far from
likely that he stood any chance of
getting it. If he proposed to loot
the Maiden Golfers he would have
to get up very early in the morn
ing. The other one was to ridicu-
lous to think about. Might as we'll
suspect Perilla herself.
He continued his task of reading
over the letters. 1t might be pos
sible, he thought, that Miss Curry's
information should add some little
light on the dark outlook.
The names of the men he sought
for were almost never mentioned.
He discovered the minor fact that
Roger Garth studied to be doctor
before he decided to be a lawyer.
Also, a note added in .Bob's hand
stated that Tony Gaskell had
worked in a chemical laboratory
many years ago, and that Bob him.
self wished he might do the same.
1t was then that Stone concluded
to go to see Mrs. Coles. He felt he
ought to do so anyway, but he
hoped to learn something pertinent
to Bob or Bob's work.
To his surprise and satisfaction
he found the lady was visiting
friends in New York and therefore
he need not go to Philadelphia. 1t
was not such a long journey, but
Stones time was valuable, and he
had lot to do.
So after telephoning for an ap-
pOintment to call, the detective
went that afternoon to see Bob's
mother.
He found a sweet-faced, fair
haired little lady who greeted him
with SAD smile.
Il am glad to see you," she said,
because Bob had grown very fond
of you. He had thought of being
a doctor or rather a chemical ex-
peril don't know just what they
call them-but' he changed entirely
and wanted only to be a detective" !"
'T wish he might have done so,"
Stone responded. Il should have

room.
Linda pulled the mirror back
and grabbed, the medicine kit in
side the case. She slammed the
mirror back and reached up for
bottle of ammonia. She faced
the mirror, and then at the sight
she saw over shoulder, she
clutched the medicine kit to her,

Somebody had produced a bot
tie of brandy, and was pouring a
few drops through his lips. Ken
shook his head, then stared up at
Linda. For a moment he didn't

Jane Weston feels her dreams
have come true when she sets out
on three weeks ocean cruise
accepted in payment for the sal.
airy due her when the magazine
for which she worked as typis,
suspended publication.
. On board the ship, she meets
handsome Dirk Strom, expert ski
jumper, as penniless as herself.
The two are much attracted to
each other. Then a misunder-
standing comes between them.
Jane is flattered by the attentions
of limo Rossi, opera singer, and
Dirk becomes the frequent escort
of Nora Lane, famous actress
and owner of the Kokinor dia-
mond.
Others among the passengers
are Snowshoes, a detective; Ma
dame Doremus, wealthy and &C.
centric; Dutch Lenz and Mamie
Jackson, blackmailers; Ken Mar
tin and Linda Bayes, floor show
entertainers.
Snowshoes persuades Nora Lane
to turn the Kokinor diamond over
to the purser. They go to her
stateroom to get it and find Man
ME Jackson, dead from a bullet
wourd. The diamond is missing.
Snowshoes takes charge Of the
investigation. Most of the passen-
gers are not aware Of the muir
der. though they know of the
theft. They are allowed to go
ashore when the boat lands at
Nassau.

STUDIED
IN HENRY Staying
Weapons Found With Muir
der Gun Get Examina-
ton by Expert.

The two pistols found in a secret
compartment with the shotgun used
TO murder "Milsie" Henry in 1882
were to be examined today by Lieut..
John Fowler, police ballistics expert.
Police expected to receive supple
mentary information about the weap-
ons tomorrow from the manufacturers
and retailers. Their purchase has
been traced to a st. Louis hardware
store to which they were shipped by
the manufacturers January 8, 1882,
three months before Henry was slain
here.
The shotgun was examined by Fow-
Ter Saturday and identified positively
as the murder weapon. Comparisons
we're made with shells found near the
spot Henry was shot. ::
Inspector Bernard w. Thompson,
chief of detectives, did not say what
new information he expected to gather
from ballisticS examination of the pis-
tolls, but it was established Henry
was killed by shotgun Slugs.
The examination is in line with
the determinat ton of Maj Ernest W.
Brown. police superintendent, that
every bit of evidence shall be con-
Sidered, although police believe the
Henry case virtually was ended with
the conviction of Charles Harris, now
serving life sentence in the Lewis
burg (Pa.) Federal Penitentiary.
