already found himself in a desperate sit
uation. It might be said also that save
a will, it would be difficult to imagine
any paper which would account for such
an enterprise, while jewels, on the other
hand, were an obvious mark for whoever
knew of their existence.
Presuming that the assassin was indeed .
after the jewels, It is very instructive to
note his knowledge of their location, and
also its limitations. Why did he go 1
straight into the spare bed room where
the jewels were actually kept?
The same question may be asked with
equal force if w T e consider that he was
after the papers. Why the spare bed
room?
THE CRIMINAL.
Any knowledge gathered from outside
'b\ a watcher in (he backyard, for ex
ample) would go to the length of ascer
taining which was the old lady’s room.
One would expect a robber who had
gained his information thus to go straight
io that chamber. But this man did not
do so. He went straight to the unlikely
room in which both jewels and papers
actually were. Th not this remarkably
suggestive? Does it not pre-suppose a
previous acquaintance with the insi le of
the Hat and the ways of its owner?
But note the limitations of the knowl
edge. If it were the jewels he was after,
he knew what room they were in, but
not in what part of the room. A fuller
knowledge would have told him they wen*
kept in the wardrobe. And yet he
searched a box.
If he was after papers, his information
was complete; but if he was indeed after
the jewels, then we can say that he had
the knowledge of one who is conversant,
but not intimately conversant, with the
household arrangement.
To this we may add that he would seem
to have shown ignorance of the habits of
the inmates, or he would have surely I
chosen Lambie’s afternoon or evening out •
for his attempt, and not have done it at
a time when tlse girl was bound to be
back within a very few minutes.
What men had ever visited the house?
The number must have been very limited. ,
what friends? what tradesmen? what !
plumbers? Who brought back the jewels |
after they had been stored with the jew
elers when the old lady w< nt every year
to the country?
Lines of Inquiry.
One is averse to throw out vague sus
picions which may give min to innocent
people, and yet it is clear that there are
lines of inquiry here that should be fol
lowed up. however negative the results.
How did the murderer get in if Lam
bie is correct in the thinking that she
shut the doors?
I cannot get away from the conclusion
that he had duplicate keys. In that case
all becomes comprehensible, for the old
lady—whose faculties were quite normal
would hear the lock go and would not be
alarmed, thinking that Lambie had re
turned before her time. Thus she woud
only know her danger when the murderer
rushed into the room and would, hardly
have time to to rise, receive the first
blow, and fall, as she was found, beside
the chair, upon which she had been sit
ting. That is Intelligible.
But if he had not the keys, consider the
difficulties. If the old lady had opened ‘
the flat door her budy would have been
found in tiie passage. Therefore, the po
lice were driven to the hypothesis that
the old lady heard the ring, opened the
lower stair door from above <as can be
done In all Scotch flats), opened the flat
door, never looked over the lighted stair
to see who was coming up. but returned
to her chair and her magazine, leaving
the door open, and a free entrance to the
murderer.
Th is possible, but is it not in the
highest degree improbable?
Miss Gilchrist was nervous of robbery
and would not neglect obvious precau
tions.
The ring came immediately after the
maid’s departure. She could hardly have
thought that it was her returning, the
less so as the girl had the keys and would
not need to ring. If she went as far as
the hall door to open it. she only had to
take another step to see who was ascend
ing the stair. Would she not have taken
it if It were only to say:
“What, hdve you forgotten your keys?’
That a nervous old lady should throw
open both doors, never look to see who
her visitor was. and return to her din
ing room is very hard to believe.
AN ANALYSIS.
And look at it from the murderer’s
point of view. He had planned out his
proceedings. It is notorious that it Is
the easiest thing In the world to open
the lower door of a Scotch fiat. Ihe
blade of a pen knife will do that.
If he was to depend upon ringing to
get at his victim, it was evidently bet
ter for him to ring at the upper door,
as otherwise the chance would seem very
great that she would look down, see him
coming up the stair, and shut herself in.
On the other hand. If he were at the
upper door, and she answered it, he had
only to push his way in. Therefore, the
latter would be his course if lie rang at
all.
And yet the police theory Is that though
lie rang, he rang from below.
Tt is not what he would do. and if lie
did do it, It would be most unlikely that
he would get in. How could he suppose
that the old lady would do so Incredible
a tiling as leave her door open and return
io her calling? If she waited, she might
even up .to the last instant have shut
the door in bis face. s
if one weighs all tlieSe reasons, one
can hardly fail. I think, to come to the
conclusion that the murderer iiad keys,
and tliat the old lady never rose from
i her chair until the last instant, because,
hearing the keys in the door, she took it
for granted that Hu maid had come back.
Hut if he had keys, how did he get
the mold, and how did lie get them made?
There is a line of inquiry there.
i The only conceivable alternatives are.
that the murderer was actually concealed
in the flat when Lambie catne out, and
of that there is no evidence whatever,
or that tiie visitor was some one whom
the old lady knew, in which case he
would naturally have been admitted

“No S. P. U. G. For Her,” Says Irene Franklin
By Margaret Hubbard Ayer.
MISS IRENE FRANKLIN, her
“orange phosphate” hair plied
high on iier head, her hands
full of paper patterns for doll's clothes,
stood in the fitting room of a big the- ‘
atrieal costumer, and cajoled the weary '
maker of gay stage frocks into dressing
dolls for Christmas. After she had suc
t ended, she turned and answered some
of the questions that were put to her.
“Am I a spug? Well, what’s that? ,
‘Tiie Society for the Prevention of Use

think I’d gixe up the pleasure of buying
Christmas presents to join that socie

“Would I give up the pleasure of
sending Susie a pink negligee with

No. indeed. Os course. Susie lives on a
cattle ranch and has no use for tiie
negligee, but she'll’ get It just the same.
And 1 get the statisfaction of buying it
for her.
“Do you know how to eut out those
Christmas tree chains—the ones out of
colored paper? Oil, don't you'.’ Every
body does at my house. We spend our
evenings at it; even tiie baby was up
till 10 o'clock last night making tilings
for the tree. Oh, didn't you know about
the baby?
“Oh, I'm every kind of a mother.
Ordinarily mother, stepmother and

“Will 1 do ‘Redhead?’ Oil, I never

never really did it well, anyhow. The

was one of iny first efforts, and some
of the verses had so many feet they
were regular centipedes, while a rhyme
only happened now and then when it
came real handy.
“I love to do character work. My!

The Hysterics of Youth
By Beatrice Fairfax
THOSE who have traveled the trou- j
bled path of youth, when one)
doesn’t know what one wants
and is prodigal with emotions in trying
to find out, will smile indulgently over
the following letter:
There is so much in It of the human
nature that the years have taught those
who are older to and control. It
is like Youth!
“I am a young girl of sixteen and
until a few weeks ago had been going
with a young man one year my senior.
Some childish misunderstanding had
broken our sincere friendship, and since
then we Just greet each other when we
meet and pass on.
“Today as I was walking along the
street 1 chanced to meet him. He was
with another girl. He tipped his hat. 1
looked at him and at tin? girl, and much
to my horrtlt I burst out laughing. 1
can not comprehend whatever pos
sessed me to do so. I am sure it was
not jealousy (for I pity the girl), and
every time I think of it 1 just laugh
and laugh. Can you tell what it is that
makes me laugh?’’
It is the hysterics of youth. You
laughed because you are young. You
wanted to show by an indifferent smile
that you didn't care. And that smile
became a laugh! Being very yqung,
you laugh immode’titely, and you cry
to excess.
You are like a swing that flies back

When you get older, and it is "time to

swinging nears an end, there will be

you can't see a ray of hope.
I am sorry you laughed, but you
couldn't help it. 1 am sure it meant no
unkind feeling and that it was- not the
laugh of resentment. But it is sure to
be misunderstood. A pleasant little
smile, such as you would give to a mere
acquaintance, would have won fpr you
the admiration and respect of botli your
former lover and your rival.
They will not interpret that laugh to
your credit. You were not jealous, you
say. yet a hysterical Iwtigh would indi
