“ | Lady, "did you ever have a J
X-* tooth pulled?”
\ yet," said the Head Barber, "but
I , v a couple of loose ones on ac
,,f a slam that 1 got in the jaw
ft- othet night trying to stop a quar
— i,, tween a man and his wife. It
.n’t much of an argument. The wife

ii„,m --laying cut. but the wife wouldn't
it that way. so when I seen that it
. ISI to look like war I kind of horned
n like one of them old knights that ■
igs all the time going out to fight tori
e. i.uiy fair. I didn't know how rough
~ Ing was in them days, kiddo, but
■ his fellow I started to talk to about
jx lady fair didn't wait long. He
slaimned me I don't blame him at that,
r ;,i'- the system I usually work my
.,-tf- getting In the first blow.”
••[>,..,’t be talking to me about them
. ii’igat fights,” said the Manicure Lady.
What I started out for to tell about
was the experience that I went through j
n the dentist’s chair the other day. I
wouldn't have another tooth pulled for
a million dollars, George. I would rath
tr leave them stay in there and go
along the best they could, especially if
• hey happened to be tn the back, the
way this one was, where nobody could
see it.
"The worst part about going to see al
dentist. George, is waiting in lino for •
your turn. You know it takes some |
hero or heroine to wait in the outside '
room of a dentist’s parlors, where all |
there is to do is to think of what pain
is coming to you. or else read a lot of
magazines.
"This dentist had the biggest collec
tion of magazines, George. My good
ness! I'll bet that there must have been
ten or fifteen sets of them. I suppose
they have to have them there to intr- |
o*t the patients that are waiting for
their turn, for fear that the patients
wouM not be patient any longer and go i
around the corner to see another tooth ;
disturber.
"But my chance came at last. George, !
•nd In I goes, as fine as silk on the out
side, hut kind of quaking in the inte
rior. as the poet says.
‘The first glance that 1 got at that i
there doctor didn’t reassure me none.
He was one of them big, corn-fed den
tists with a square jaw and a forearm
that must have been developed by yank
ing out thousands of wrong teeth. The
minute T seen him I recoiled like one of
them Bertha Clay heroines that shrink
back distinctively from the villain. 1
don’t mean that he looked llk« no vil
lain, hut he looked strong enough to
take out the whole lower jaw in the
milling of one tooth. Well, he got the
tooth out somehow, and it didn’t take
him long. See—this is the tooth that
he yanked. He gave it to me for a
present. Ain’t it pretty, after it has
been all washed and polished?"
"It is sure some fang,” said the Head
Harber. "Why don’t you stop polishing
your nails for ten minutes and give the
other teeth that same effect?"

cutta): "Wanted—-Thousand Brahmin,

ib’ow that there is so much discussion
*- s to the rate at which doctors are to
bald for their services under the in
surance act, It is interesting to read of
c singular way in which Welsh tnon
■irehs used to pay their doctors. At the
">urt of the Gwynedd kings the phy
' lan or surgeon ranked twelfth in or
r of precedence among the household
officials, and his fees were carefully de- i
fined. For curing- a flesh wound that
’ as not dangerous the doctor was al
•°wed no other perquisite than such of
'• l,e garments of the wounded person as
’ere stained with blood. But for cur
•l’g any of what were called “the throe
'“tngerous wounds” he was granted a
of $5 . llu ] maintenance during
“ ie cure, besides the blood-stained gar
ments.

“7 he Case of Oscar Slater ’
Hy Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock Holmes in Real Life
TODAYS INSTALLMENT
There are still one. or two Singular!
points which invite cotnincir. One of;
these, which I have incidentally men- I
tioned, is that neither the matchbox, nor
the box opened in the bed room, showed
any marks of blood 1 . Yet the crime had
been an extra ord inn i’y bloody om . This
is certainly very singular.
AN EXPLANATION.
An explanation given by F»r. Adams,
who was tiie first medical man to view
the body, is worthy of attention. He
considered that the wounds might have
been inflicted by prods downward from
the leg of a chair, in which case the
seat of the chair would preserve the
clothes, and. to some extent, the hands of
the murderer from bloodstains. The con
dition of one of rhe chairs seemed to
him to favor this supposition.
The explanation is Ingenious, but I
must confess that I can not understand
how such wounds could be inflicted by
such an instrument. There were in par
ticular a number of sn;rdb‘-shaped cuts,
with a bridge of skin between them, which
are very suggestive. My first choice as
to the weapon which inflicted these
would be a burglar’s jimmy, which is bi
furcated at one end. while the blow which
pusher] the poor woman’s eye into her
brain would represent a thrust from the
other end.
Failing a jimmy. 1 should choose a ham
mer, but a ver.' different one from the
toy thing from a half crown card of tools
which was exhibited in court. Surely,
common sense would say that such an in
strument could burst an eyeball, but could
not possibly drive it deep into the brain,
since the short head could not penetrate
nearly so far.
The hammer which 1 would reconstruct
from the injuries would be what they
call, 1 believe, a plasterer’s hammer, short
In the handle, long and strong in the
head, with a broad fork behind. But how
such a weapon could be used without the
user bearing marks of it is more than I
can say.
Lt has never been explained why a
rug was laid over the murdered woman.
The murderer, as his conduct before Lam
bie and Adams showed, was a perfectly
cool person. It is at least possible that
he used the rug as a shield between him
and his victim while he battered her with
his weapon. His clothes, if not his hands,
would in this way be preserved.
1 have said that it is of the first im
portance to trace who knew so the exist
ence ot the jewels, since this might great
' ly help the solution of the problem.
In connection with this there is a pas- ■
| sage in Lambic’s evidence in New York
which is of some importance. I give it
! from the stenograt i er’s report, condens
j ing in places:
q. “po you know in Glasgow a man

Q. "By appointment .”
A. “Yes.”
•-J. "When next?"
•V, "I have not met him since.”
Q. "And you say he only called once at

He visited me at Girvan and was enter
tainer! at tea with me on Saturday night ,
and at dinner on Sunday with Miss Gil- i
christ and me.' "
A. "Yes, sir.”
Q. "Then you did see him more than
once in the country?”
A. "Once.”
He read the extract again as above.
Q. "Was that true?”
A. "Yes.”
Q "Then you invited this man to tea
at Miss Gilchrist’s summer house?"
A. "Yes."
Q. "On Saturday night?”
A. "Yes."
Q. “And on Sunday night?”
