CHAPTER XXIV—(Continued.)
“lie's not in the grounds,” said God
frey. "He went out by the gate," and
he told of Hinman's discovery.
"I’ll stretch a net over the whole
Bronx," said Simmonds. "I don’t see
how a fellow dressed as he is can get
away,” and he hastened off to do some
more telephoning.
“Well, we can’t do anything,” said
Godfrey, "so we rgijtht as well rest
awhile,” and he passed into the li
brary and dropped into a chair.
I followed him, but as I sat down
and glanced about the room 1 saw
something that fairly jerked me to
my feet.
A section of the shelving had been
swung forward, and behind it the door
of the safe stood open.
In an instant, I had flung myself on
my knees before it, groped lor the
locked drawer, pulled it out, and hur
ried with it to the table.
“What is it, Lester?" asked Godfrey,
at my side.
"There was—$50,000—in money—in
this drawer,” I answered, trying to
speak coherently.
Godfrey took the drawer from my
hands and examined its contents.
"Well, it isn't there now,” he said,
and replaced the drawer in the safe.
“Sit down, Lester,” and he pressed me
back into my chair and flung himself
into another. “I wish I knew where
Vaughan kept his whisky!" he mur
mured, and ran his lingers furiously
through his hair. “This is getting too
strenuous, even for me!”
He fell silent for a moment, and sat
looking at the open safe.
“What astonishes me," he mused, "is
the nerve of the man, stopping at such
a moment to work that combination.
Think what that means, Lester; to
work a combination, a man has to be
cool and collected.”
"A man who could sit without stir
ring through that scene upstairs,” I
said, “has nerve enough for anything.
Nothing Silva does can surprise me
after that!”
"I wonder how he knew the com
bination?"
"I was sure. ho knew it. I had to
stop Miss Vaughan to keep her from
telling it to me.”
“Well, he lessened his chance of es
cape by Just that much. Every
minute he spent before that safe was
a minute lost. Ah, here’s Simmonds.
What do you think of that, Sim
monds?” he added, and pointed to the
safe. “Senor Silva stopped on his way
out to gather up $50,000 in cash to pay
his traveling expenses."
Simmonds walked over to the safe
and looked at it.
“Fifty thousand?" he repeated. “But
Vaughan must have been a fool to keep
that much money here.”
“Oh, I don't know. It's a fireproof
safe, and mighty well concealed."
''I’ll tell you what I think,” I said;
“I think he intended to give the money
to Silva. He was going to give him
$1,000,000—left him that in his will, you
know.”
“So Silva was only taking what be
longed to him, eh?” and Godfrey
laughed. "Well, I hope you'll get him,
Simmonds."
It was at this moment that Dr. Hin
man entered, a courious, repressed ex
citement in his face, and his eyes shin
ing strangely.
"How is she, doctor?” Godfrey asked.
“She 11 be all right in the morning.
She is still pretty nervous, so 1 gave
her a sleeping draught and waited till
it took effect.”
Godfrey looked at him more closely.
"Did she tell you anything?” he
asked.
“Not much,” said Hinman; “I
wouldn't let her talk. But she told me
enough to let me guess one thing—
she’s the bravest girl 1 ever knew or
heard of!”
"I mean,” cried Hinman, his eyes
glowing more and more, ' that she
stayed i.i this house and faced the
deadliest peril out of love for that man
Swain; I mean that, if lie's cleared, as
he’s certain to be now, it will be she
who clears him; I mean that, if the real
murderer is brought to justice, it will
be because of the evidence she stayed
here to get, and did get!”
His voice had mounted shrilly, and
his face was working as though he
could scarcely keep back the tears.
"Wait a minute, doctor," broke in
Godfrey. “Don't go too fast. What
evidence?"
For answer, Hinman flipped some
thing through the air to him. God
frey caught it and stared at it an in
stant in bewilderment; then, with a
stifled exclamation, he spring to the
light and held the object dose under
it.
“By all the gods!" he cried, in a
voice as shrill as Hinman’s own. ' The
fingerprints!”
CHAPTER XXV.
THE BLOOD-STAINED GLOVE.
I do not know what it was I ex
pected to see, as I leaped from my
chair and peered over Godfrey’s shoul
der; but certainly it was something
more impressive than the soiled and
ragged object he held in his hand. It
was, apparently, an ordinary rubber
glove, such as surgeons sometimes use,
and it was torn and crumpled, as
though it had been the subject of a
struggle.
Then I remembered that I had seen
it crushed in Miss Vaughan's uncon
scious fingers, and I recalled how the
fingers had stiffened when Godfrey
tried to remove it, as though some in
stinct in her sought to guard it, even
in the face of death.
"But 1 don't understand,” said Slm
monds, who was staring over the oth
er shoulder. “What's that thing got to
do with the finger prints?”
“Look here,” said Godfrey, and held
the glove so that the ends of the fing
ers lay in the full light.
Then I saw that against the end of
every finger had been glued a strip of
rubber, about an inch in length and
half as wide; and, bending closer, I
perceived that the surface of each of j
these strips was covered with an in- |
tricate pattern of minute lines.
"Forged finger prints! That's a new
idea in crime, isn't it, Slmmonds?" and
Godfrey laughed excitedly.
Simmonds took the glove, got out I
his pocket glass, and examined the
finger tips minutely.
"You think these reproduce Swain's
finger prints?” he asked, sceptically.
"I'm sure they do! You se» it's the
band; look at the thumb—you see It's
a double whorl. Wait till we put them I
side by side with Swain's own. and l
you'll see that they correspond, line j
f"r line. Yes, and look at those stains. I
Do you know what those stains are, J
21
Simmonds? They're blood. Did you
notice the stains, doctor?”
'■yes.” said Hinman. "I think they're
blood stains. That -vlll be easy enough
to determine.”
"Whose blood- .* It?" asked Sim
monds, and I could see that even his
armor had been penetrated.
“Well," answered Godfrey, smiling,
"science isn’t able, as yet, to identify
the blood of individuals; but I'd be
willing to give odds that it’s Swain’s
blood. My Idea Is that Silva got the
blood for the finger prints from the
blood-soaked handkerchief, whieli
Swain probably dropped when he fled
from tlie arbor, and which Silva picked
up and dropped beside the chair, after
he was through with it, as an additional
bit of evidence.”
"That's reasonable enough," agreed
Hinman, with a quick nod, "but what
1 can't underhand Is how he made
these reproductions.”
Godfrey sat down again and contem
plated the glove pensively for some
moments. Then he turned to me.
“Where is that book of finger prints
you spoke about, Lester?” he asked.
1 went to the bookcuse and got it
out. Godfrey took it and began to
turn the pages quickly.
"Swain’s name is in the index.'T said,
and he glanced at it, and then turned
to the place weber the page had been.
"Which reminds me,” said Hinman,
with a rueful smile, “that I concocted
a very pretty theory to account for that
missing page. I felt quite chesty about
it! I’m glad it didn’t throw Miss
Vaughan off the scent!"
"So am I!” agreed Godfrey, "for it
must have been this missing page
which gave Miss Vaughan her first
suspicion of the truth. Perhaps it was
pure inspiration—or perhaps she knew
that Silva could reproduce finger
prints. We shall learn when we hear
her story. In any event, it’s a clever
trick—and easy enough when you know
how!”
“Like standing the egg on end,” I
suggested.
“Precisely. Every trick is easy when
you work it backwards. But just think,
Simmonds,” he added, “what problems
the police will have to face, if gloves
like these become fashionable among
cracksmen!"
Simmonds groaned dismally.
"You haven’t told us yet how it was
done,” he said.
I bit back a smile, for Simmond's
tone was that of pupil to master.
“Well," said Godfrey, slowly, "it
might be done in several ways. Tho
first thing is to get a good set of the
prints to be reproduced. That Silva
got from this album. The molds might
be made by cutting them In wood or
metal; but that would take an expert—
and besides, I fancy it would be too
slow for Silva. He had a quicker way
than that—perhaps by transferring
them to a plate of zinc or copper and
then eating them out with acid. Once
the mold is secured, it is merely a
question of pressing India-rubber mix
ture into it and then heating the rub
ber until it hardens—just as a rubber
stamp is made. The whole process
would take only a few hours.”
Simmonds drew a deep breath.
“It may be simple," he said, "but that
fellow’s a genius, just the same. He’s
much too clever to be at large. We’ve
got to get him!”
“Be sure of one thing” retorted God
frey. "You’ll find it harder to catch
him than it was to let him go! He
f-on’t walk into your arms. Not that I
blame you, Simmonds," he added; “but
[ blame those muckle headed men of
pours—and I blame myself for not
keeping my eyes open. Here’s the glove
— take good care of it. It means
Swain’s acquittal. And now there is
me other thing I want to see before we
go to bed. Suppose we make a little :
excursion to the roof.”
"To the roof? What for?” demanded i
Simmonds, as he wrapped the glove in
his handkerchief and put it in his
"You know how fond you are of fire
works!” retorted Godfrey, smiling, and ■
■started for the door.
"I haven’t the slightest idea what ;
you're talking about," said Hinman,
‘but I’m as curious as an old woman— '
ind I like fireworks, too!"
“Come along, then," laughed God
frey. and led the way up the stairs. I
'This time we'll go as quietly as we
:an!" he added, over his shoulder.
In the entry at the top of the stairs '
leading to the attic story was a heavy
Hosed door, and Godfrey looked at is
with a smile.
“Do you suppose those two German '
servants have slept on through all this
.xcitement?” he asked; and we found
afterwards that they had!
The flare of Godfrey’s torch disclosed
x third flight of stairs at the end of
;he entry, and, when we reached the
root of these and looked up, we found
jurselves gazing at the stars.
"Ah!” said Godfrey; "I thought so!
rhe stage was set, ready for the cur
tain. and then the leading lady failed
to appear. So the villain went in
search of her, found her with the glove
n her hand, and started to suppress
her, when our timely arrival inter
rupted him! Gentlemen, I think I can
promise you a most interesting demon
stration. What did Miss Vaughan call
t, Lester?”
"An astral benedition," I said.
“That's it!” said Godfrey, and led the
way up the steps.
There was a wide, hinged trap door
it the top, lying open, and we stepped
Ihrough It out upon the roof. Here
Pad been built a platform about eight
feet square, with a low railing around
t. I saw Godfrey’s torch playing
•apidly over the boards of the platform,
hen he marshaled us in the middle of
X.
"Stand hete in a row," he said, “fac
ng the west. Extend your arms to the
leavens and concentrate your gaze up
>n that big star up yonder. Go ahead,
loctor," he urged, as Hinman hesitated.
We're trying to persuade an astral
visitor to pay us a call, and it takes
learn work.”
We stood silent a moment, with our
irms above our heads, and 1 could hear
Godfrey shifting his feet cautiously
xlong the boards of the floor.
"What's that!" cried Simmonds, for,
from the darkness at our feet, had come
x soft whirr as of a bird taking flight.
“Look!” cried Hinman. “Look!"
High above our heads a point of
'lame appeared, brightened and burned
steel blue. For a moment it hung
:here. then it grew brighter and bright
r, and I knew that it was descending,
bower anil lower it came, until it hov
;red in the air just above us; then it 1
Hirst into 1.000,000 sparks and van- l
shed. i
For a moment, no one spoke; then I <
teard Hinman’s voice, and it was de- I
llcldedly unsteady. I
"What is this, anyway?” he demand- I
1 ■ '■■■ ...
pd. "The Arabian Nights?”
“No," said Godfrey, and in his voice
was the ring of triumph. "It’s merely
a device of one of the cleverest fakirs
who ever lived. Take the torch, Sim ■
tnonds, and let us see how it works."
He dropped to his knees, while Sim
monds lighted him, and 1 saw that
there was a hole in the floor about
three inches in diameter. Godfrey felt
carefully about it for a moment, and
then, with a little exclamation of
triumph, found a hold for his fingers,
pulled sharply, and raised a hinged sec- >
tlon of the floor, about IS Inches
square.
"Now give us the light,” he said, and
plunged it into the opening.
In line with the little hole was an
upright metal tube about a foot long,
ending in a small square box. Beside
the tube, a slender iron rod ran from
the platform down into the box.
"That's the lever that sets it off," re
marked Godfrey, tapping the rod. "A
pressure of the foot did it.”
Ho pulled tile rod loose, seized the j
tube, and lifted the whole apparatus
out upon the platform.
“Let’s take it down where we can I
look at it," lie said, and, carrying it
easily in one hand, led the way back
to the library, cleared a place on the
table and set it down. Then, after a
moment's examination, he pulled back
n little bolt and tilted the top of the j
box. witli the tube attached, to one
side.
iv curious mocnanism lay re- I
coaled. There was a powerful ‘
spring, which could be wound up
with a key, and a drum wound
with filament like wire and connected
ivlth a simple clock work to revolve
It. Two small dry-batteries were se
cured to one side of the box, their wires
running to the drum.
"Why. It’s nothing but a toy cata
pult!" 1 said.
“That's all.” aid Godfrey nodded. “It
remained for Silva t<> add a few trim
mings of his own and to put it to a
unique use. Instead of a missile, he
loaded it with Ids little aerial shell, at
tached to the end of this wire. Then he
sliot it off with a pressure of the foot;
when it reached the end of the wire,
the pull brought this platinum coll
against the battery wires and closed
the circuit. The spark fired the shell,
and the drum began to revolve and
pull it down. That explains, Lester,
why it descended so steadily and in
a straight line. The fellow who could
devise a thing like that deserves to
succeed! Here’s health to him!"
"He ought to be behind the bars,”
growled Simmonds. "The cleverer he
Is, the more dangerous he is.”
"Well,” retorted Godfrey, "I admire
him, anyway; and he isn’t behind the
bars yet. No doubt you’ll find some
of ills shells tomorrow about the house
somewhere, and you might nmuso
yourself by shooting one off every
night at midnight, on the chance that
he secs it and comes back to see who’s
stealing his thunder!”
But this brilliant suggestion did not
seem to appeal to Simmonds, who
merely grunted and continued his ex
amination of the catapult.
"Silva hud loaded it for tonight’s per
formance,” Godfrey went on. "but, as
l remarked before, the leading lady
failed to answer her cue, and it re
mained for us to touch it off. There it *
Is, Simmonds; I turn it over to you. It
xnd the glove will make unique addi
tions to the museum at headquarters.
And now," he added, with the wide
yawn of sudden relaxation, "you fel
lows cun make a night of It, if you
want to, hut I’m going to bed."
I glanced at my watch. It was 4:30.
Another dawn was brightening along
the east.
Hinman ran upstairs, took a look at
bis patient, and came down to tell us
that she was sleeping calmly.
"She’ll be all right in the morning,”
he assured us; “and, while I don’t want
to butt in, I’d certainly like to hear her
story. Adventures like this don’t hap
pen very often to a country doctor!
May I come?”
"Most surely!” I assented warmly.
‘I think we were very fortunate to
lave had you in this case, doctor."
“So do I!” echoed Godfrey warmly,
,vhlle Hinman flushed with pleasure. 1
And don’t forget, Lester, that It was
. who picked him out, with nothing
setter than the telephone book to guide
ne! That was my infallible Instinct!"
"Suppose we say 10 o'clock, then?”
: suggested, smiling at Godfrey’s ex
lberunce—but then, I was feeling rath
:r exuberant myself!
"I’ll be here!” said Hinman. “And
hank you,” and a moment later we
leard his car chugging down the drive.
Wo listened to it for a moment, then i
lodfrey yawned again.
“Come along, Lester,” he said, “or
I’ll go to sleep on my feet. Can I give
.’ou a bed, Simmonds?”
“No, thanks," said Simmonds. "I’m
lot ready for bed. I’m going to comb
his whole neighborhood, as soon as it’s
ight. Silva can’t escape—unless he
ust fades away into the air.”
"'S’ou’ve found no trace of him?"
“I’ve had no reports yet,” and Sim
nonds walked beside us down the drive
:o the gate; “but my men ought to be
,'oming in pretty soon. There’s a thick
rrove Just across the road, where he
nay be hiding . .
He stopped, for a man was hnsten
ng toward us, carrying under one arm |
i small white bundle.
Simmonds quickened his pace.

When the men of Iowa organized to ^

'or equal suffrage, It wns a most im- i

md one which attracted favorable at

itates. A lettor received from Omar E. i

vomen of our state have been subjected

ipparent when one considers that the
lumber of men in the state is greater
han the number of women. No one

as heart disease, or disease of brain
or lungs.
It is a good insurance against such
a risk to send 10 cents for a large
trial package of “Anuric”—the latest
discovery of Dr. Pierce. When you
suffer from backache, frequent or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or
there, or that constant tired, worn-out
feeling, get “Anuric” at the druggist.
It’s 37 times more potent than lithia,
dissolves uric acid as hot water does
sugar. ,
