CHAPTER XIII—Continued.
A Discovery.
Philip waited perhaps live seconds.
It became a moral and physical lmpos-
elhlltty for him to wait longer. He
tied, run headlong down the grand
italrrase of the Devonshire, because
the lift was not attending his conven
ience, nnd disdaining the aid of six
purlers, shot Into a cab. He still held
the notes loose ih his hand.
His adventures between the stage
door of the Metropolitan Theater antf
Josephine's dressing room could not
hare been adequately described In less
than live columns Of the Courier,
had to defy the stage doorkeeper,
malestlc personage who hod once said.
• to an undersecretary of state
snd who was reported to buy a public
house or so once a quarter out of the
Ups he received from aspirants to the
hands of the queens and princesses of
the Metropolitan’s two stages. He out
distanced two commissionaires detailed
oil for pursuit, lost himself, found him
self before the footlights—happily dur
ing an entr'acte—Invoking the assist
ance of the mistress of the ballet—a
kind, fat old thing whose triumphs
dated back to the Third Empire—and
Itnally had to arrange matters with, a
call boy and Josephine's dresser, who
was also by a curious accident Jose
phine's aunt. Josephine, In the famous
dressing room lined with mirrors nnd
littered with expensive frippery, pots,
pans, bouquets, torn envelopes, boxes,
pretties, curling Irons, music, over
turned chairs and photographs, was
perfecting the work of nature.
She glanrdd sternly at Philip, pencil
In hand, and Indescribably glorious as
to peignoir. :
Well!" she said. "I call this
cheek;' that's what I call It. If you
think you're going to nthke peace on
Tony's behalf, old boy, you're mistaken,
i you ran. go and tell him 1 said so."
A gas jet hissed among the electric
light*.
I don't care twopence for Tony. It’s
more Important than Tony—"
"Thnt's enough," sho made a gest-
e. "How much have you given
auntie to stop outside? Call her In.”
Philip approached close to her.
"Don’t be silly, my girl,” he said
harshly. "In the first place let me tell
you I’m on the staff of the Courier,
and In the second place, have you seen
these notes before?"
He laid them before her on the
splashed, untidy dressing bench.
She was daunted. She stared vague
ly at the notes,
"How uu a Know If I've seen them
before?'" she grumbled. "I've seen
many a hundred pound note In my
time."
"You gave them to Tony at midnight
on Tuesday," he said.
“And what tf I did?” .
."They’re stolen notes,” he .replied,
and breathed the single slnleter word
"Pollexfen.”
"If you want to know, then," said
Josephine, who was recovering her
ground. "I just didn't give them to
Tony on Tuesday at midnight, I gave
him two notes, but they were old notes
and these are new.. So there!”
How can you prove that?"
Mr. Sinclair can prove It."
Who Is Mr. Sinclair?”
Mr. Sinclair Is the assistant cash
ier. He cashed a check for me on
Tuesday afternoon, and he gave me
the notes.”
"I must see Mr. Sinclair.”
“Oh, you can see Mr. Sinclair, all
right. 'Auntie!'" She opened the
door, and stood facing Philip, her
hands on her hips, breathing hard.
“You shall soon see Mr. Sinclair,” she
repeated, "and Mr. Talke shall see if I
am to be Insulted In my own dressing
room like this!”
"My dear young lady.” said Philip,.
Tm not insulting you. Tony told me
he’d had those notes from you—"
"Well, he’d no business to chatter,”
said Josephine, sharply. “He's like a
blessed magpie.”
"Wouldn’t you sooner have me here
than the police?" Philip smiled, "Why,
I'm doing all 1 can for you."
“Oh. of course," ehe murmured.
Then Mr. Sinclair, In ,one of those
amazingly perfect evening suits that
only the minor officials of fashionable
theatres sesm to ba able to afford, de'
ferentlally entered.
He confirmed Josephine's statement.
Further, he took Philip to his office,
and showed him a memorandum of
the numbers of the notes handed by
him to Miss Fire on Tuesday after-

noon; they did not correspond with
Philip's notes at all.
Philip. left the theatre and passed
Tony entering. And each was think
ing so hard that ntlther recognized the
other. Philip walked slowly to the
Corner House. He believed in the hon
esty of Josephine Fire, and equally, of
course. In Teny’s honesty. There re
mained two explanations of the almost
Inexplicable. Oxwlch was one possi
ble explanation; but Philip could not
conceive Oxwlch as an accomplice of
thieves and murderers. Philip himself
was the other explanation. Had some
one entered his cubicle while he slept,
and substituted two of the Pollexfen
notes for Philip’s? It was Inconceiv
able, for Philip had left his pocket-
book where John Meredith kept -the
key of his room—under the pillow—
and he was a light sleeper. Then-
He made his way Into the Corner
House. He climbed the stairs and went
to his room. After turning up the
light the first thing he saw waa his
lost little black bag, lying on the bed.
He sprang to it, and opened It The
finger-marked stone was Inside, with
the pajamas and other things. He ran
Into the corridor, and by chance en
countered one of the. boy attendants.
"Who did my room today?"
"Me, sir."
"What's the meaning of that bag
on the bed?”
It was under the bed,” said the
boy, made sullen by Philip's threaten
ing tone. "I thought you’d kicked It
under without knowing. So I put It on
the bed for you to see.
CHAPTER XIV.
Dactylography.
At dusk on the following afternoon,
which was Sunday afternoon, Philip
was curled up In the office of Mr. Hll-
gay like a spider awaiting Its prey.
He had woven hla web and he waa
■till expecting a genuine fly, though
hla patience had already exhausted It
self. Mr. Hllgny, happily for Philip's
plan of campaign, bad been visible, a
broken figure, during the middle hours
of the day. Mr. Hllgay was still not
quite persuaded that he had escaped
brain fever.
During the earlier half of the day
Philip had employad himself In mak
ing experlmenta In the recording- of
flngermarka, convinced at he
he had merely to obtain the Impress of
the first Angers of each man lodging
In the Corner House. But to accom
plish such n delicate. Invidious task
without nrouslng suspicion was a mat
ter which would have offered difficul
ties to a more Impassioned Journalist
than Philip.
He spent the chief portion of the
morning In a series of experiments
with paint and paper and varnish, left
In the corridors by thi professional
house painters who had stormed and
occupied the house. And after several
hours he had prepared two sets of
slips of plain green wall paper, one
slightly covered with white paint halt
dried at a Are, and the other lightly
covered with varnish half dried at a
Are—the kitchen Are. Lunch was over
by the time his slips were ready.
He then, with the privity of Mr.
Hllgay, who during his brief appear
ance seemed ready to allow any oqe to
do' anything, removed the doorknobs
from the Inner front door and the
outer front door of the house. Both
these doors, of course, opened Inward.
Secondly, by means of small slips of
wodd nailed to the floor near the
hinges, he fixed both doors permanently
ajar In such wise that an aperture of
three or four inches was left between
each door nnd door frame. Thirdly, he
affixed a perpendicular slip of paper
covered with half-dry paint to the out
er side of the Inner door, and a slip
covered with half-dry varnish to the
outer side of the outer door.
And he argued thus;
“Any person leaving the house, the
handles of the doors having been
thoughtfully removed, must Inevitably
flrst of all put the Angers of his right
hand on the outer side of the Inner
door and pull the door toward him In
order to go out. He may or may not
leave a good Impress of his Angers on
the palnt-coverad slip of paper. But
mint will certainly adhere to hla
land. He may or may not be angry,
but he will certainly proceed, and he
will repeat his action on the outer side
of the Vtuter door, and will thus leave a
second set of Anger marks In white
mint, on the outer door. I shall thus
lave two sets of marks for each out
going person. As the doors open Int
ward, Incoming persons will have to
push the doors Instead of pulling them,
they will thus be forced to touch the
same pieces of paper, but In the reverse
order.”

flrst that he possessed In the bit of
broken eewer pipe an authentic Anger-
mark of Captain Pollexfen’s murderer,
and, second, that the murderer was
still Inhabiting the house. Being of a
profoundly* practical nature. In the
English manner, he did not permit his
mind to be too much troubled about
the history of the little black bag be
tween the |noment when he lost sight
of It on the Tuesday evening and the
moment when he saw It again on the
Saturday evening. He guessed that
Varcoe must have discovered It , and
left It, by accident or Intentionally, In
his bedroom on the Friday night. This
having been divined, he centered his
Interests exclusively on the Imprint.
He did not even trouble to answer
the feverish Inquiries and demands
which from time to time during the
day he received from various members
of the editorial staff of The Courier.
Now, Philip was not an expert In
the science of flngerprints. It may be
doubted If he knew that It had been
christened dactylography. He certain
ty was not aware of the method of
classifying Anger prints Into the four
main divisions of arches, loops, whorls
and composites. Hs did not dream
that arches might be simple and tent
ed, loops ulnar and radial, whorls sin
gle and double, and that composites
were susceptible of not less than four
clearly deflned divisions. It may be
questioned If he had the slightest Idea
that Scotland Yard has a record of
nearly a million Anger prints and that
the system of Indexing this vast dic
tionary of criminal biography Is one
of the wonders of the world. It Is be
yond doubt that he had not read the
earned work of the celebrated Five
Towns specialist, Henry Faulds, for
that work had not then appeared. What
he had read, on Its publlcatlAn soms
ten years before, was Mark Twain's
'•Pudd’n'hend Wilson." In which the
Immortal and adorable author of "Life
on the Mississippi" hod the charming
caprice to explain the science of dacty
lography at considerable length; and
his recollection even of that unfor-
gettable romance was not by any
means free from vagueness. He hod
reasons for not going down to Scotland
Yard and demanding there the aid of
the supreme expert In dactylography.
Finally, the day being dominical, all
book-sellers' shops were closed.
He had therefore to rely solely on
the Anger mark Itself, and hla common
sense or gumption. After various trials
and sundry dyeings and washings of
his own Angers, he decided that the
Anger mark on the fragment of pipe
was that of a right hand flrst Anger,
not of a thumb. This fact Ailed him
with hope, for a reason which will
presently be seen. He further argued
that the hand of the criminal must be
short and stumpy, with broad flat
Anger tips; and moreover that It was
not a hand lately accustomed to hard
manual work, for the natural ridges on
the skin were Indicated with extra
ordinary clearness, whereas the epi
dermis of a laborer's hand Is either
worn to smoothness or wrinkled In ar.
tIAclal furrows.
To establish the criminal’s Identity
vice; and, after affixing the flrst two
pairs of slips, he joined one of the boy
servants on duty In the little office In
a state of mind that amounted almost
to glee. His stock of prepared slips
lay near Mm on Ibe labia and the
Anger-marked fragment of pipe waa
put out of the reach of the boy ser
vant! on the high mantelpiece. His
whole heart was In the experiment, so
much so that he utterly forgot his
promise to Mrs. Upottery to attend the
captain’s funeral, and merely snorted
at a telephone message from Sir An
thony to run down to the Devonshire
mansion and discuss the situation.
■He watched eagerly for some one
elther to go out or come In. The whole
world of human beings seemed, how
ever. to have formed a conspiracy
neither to enter nor to leave the Corner
House. Never had the entrance hall
been so quiet. Even the detectives and
the journalists had deserted It. A num
ber of Sabbath sightseers were parad
ing to and fro In the street and gas
Ing at the house with mouths open ai
If to swallow It. But there was no
other sign of life. The bo» attendant

Special to The Georgian.
Augusta, Ga., Sept. 12.—The thir
teenth annual grand council meeting
of the Junior Order of United Ameri
can Mechanics convened here yester
day morning with about 100 delegates
present. The meeting was opened at
9 o'clock.
Practically all of the grand council
officers were present The morning
session laated until 3 o'clock, at which
time the members were taken for
"trip up the canal" and given a barbe
cue dinner at the locks at about 4:30
o'clock. There were four boatloads of
people who went to the locks.
During the session yesterday there
was a flag and banner presented the
Griffin Council, No, 4, for receiving the
largest number of members In their
lodge during the week of May 17. The
contest was for the entire United
States and Griffin took both prizes,
one being a very Ane ling and the other
a banner. The two pieces cost 1100.
The presentation' of the banner and
flag was by Junior Past National Coun
cillor W. E. Faison, of Balelgh. He
presented the emblems for the grand
council of the United States.
Dave Ballsy, former mayor of Grlf-
An, waa present and received the flag
and banner, and thanked the grand
council for the same.
During the course of the meeting
yesterday there waa a very Interesting
speech made by secretary ' and man
ager of the funeral and beneflt and
beneflclary degree, Stephen Collins, of
Pittsburg. Hla speech was the main
feature of the morning session.
There was very little business looked
after yesterday and the real business
of the session will come up today. The
officers for the ensuing year were
nominated yesterday but they will not
be elected until today. The only Au
gustan who has been nominated Is Dr.
J. R. Littleton, for the grand repre
sentative's place. There are a num
ber of other members who hfive been
nominated and It will be hard to tell
which one of the number will get the
place.
Rome will possibly get the next
grand council meeting, as there has
been a very cordial Invitation exl
the body from that city. ,
The barbecue at the locke yesterday
afternoon kept the delegates out of the
city; the entire afternoon as It was
nearly 9 o'clock before they returned.
The meeting will close late this af
ternoon, but a number of the delegates
will remain In the city a few days af
ter the meeting Is over.

JOHN HENDERSON, j
P, O. Box 168. Nashville, Tenn.-
was reading Perclval's “Parle Gossip'
In the "Referee,” having flnl.hed "Muz
tard and Creea.” Then Philip heard
coma one coming down stairs, and hla
heart began to flutter as the Instant
approached for testing the efficacy of
the web of the spider. It waa a man.
The man wore gloves.
Philip had reckoned without the re
nowned gentility of the Corner House.
He rightly cursed hlmaelf for a famous
ninny as ho removed the smudged slips
of paper after the man's exit and sub
stituted fresh slips. But nevertheless
he determined to continue hla experi
ment, opining that then would be, after
all, In the Corner Houee far from suf-
Aclent gloves to go round. In this as
sumption the event proved him to be
correct. The event did not, however.
Justify hla experiment. People entered;
people departed. A few wore gloves.
The upgtoved majority either made
undecipherable Anger marks, or made
good Anger marks which bora not tho
slightest resemblance to the Anger
mark on the bit of pipe.
So dusk fell, and Philip's stock of
paper exhausted Itself In futility. He
foresaw that he might have to continue
the experiment for daya
He heard a cab stop outside the
house, and glanced Idly from the win
dow. It wad a four-wheeler. Airs.
L T pottery emerged from It. She was
obviously returning from the funeral.
He sympathized with her, but her ar
rival annoyed him; he had already
wasted several slips of paper on wom
en, Including two on Mrs. Upottery. She
held an argument with the cabman,
and then she had a difficulty with her
pocket and purse, and seemed to And
un awful solemn pleasure In tiring the
patience of the cabman while she re
moved her gloves and sorted her coins.
As she came up the atspa he hid In a
corner ao that aha should not glimpse
him In passing. He did not wish to be
accused Just then of not having at
tended the funeral. He was creeping
out to change the slips after her pas
sage when a man ran quietly up the
steps and rushed In. It waa John
Meredith whom Philip had not pre
viously seen that day. Why should
Philip have trembled with nervous ap
prehension at the sight of Meredith?
I’hy should a strange rear have seized
him? Why should he healtate, after
Aferedlth had vanished upstairs, to re
trieve and examine the slips? Why
should he have experienced the sensa
tion of a reprieve when a newspaper
boy,burst In, pushing and banging both
doors, to sell a special Sunday edition
of the Record?
Hlii hand shook aa the newspaper
boy having departed, he dotarhed the
slips and carried them Into the office.
The varnished slip from the outer door
showed nothing but three seta of
smudges, but the other slip, marked
faintly In varnish on white paint, dis
played three clear sets of Anger-prints
—the man's the highest; then the wom
an's; then the newspaper boy’s. Hla
heart jumped when he examined the
man's. He reached down the fragment
, and laid It close to the paper,
and, with a magnifying glass, compared
It with the paper. The print of the
man’s flrst Anger corresponded exact
ly with the print on the atone. The
double whorl situated slightly to the
left was Identical In each case.
Without giving himself a moment to
think, he went out of the office to And
Meredith. And Meredith was descend
ing the stairs again, pale and hur
ried. the frightful scar crimson on hla
blanched face.
Please come up here,” Philip ad
dressed him. Hla throat waa ao parch
ed that he could scarcely articulate.
"What la the matter?" Meredith
questioned.
"I must speak to you," said Philip.
Meredith obeyed, entering the of-
flee. Philip ordered the boy attendant
to leave and then carefully shut the
door. He had a strange desire to ad
vise Aferedlth to run away and never
be seen In England again, but ha con
quered It.
