.ftW-w T A n '( THB BED CLOUD CHIEF, RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, MARCH 2,. 1894 TaT i h A STUDY In Scarlet '"(fn entering tho house thin last Im feretfeo watt oon firmed. My wcllbootcd man lay Vcforo inc. Tho tall ouc, then, had atom the murder, if murder there waa. There was no wound upon the dead man's person, but the agitated expansion upon his faco assured mo that he had foreseen his fate beforo it camo upon him. Men who die from heart disease or any sudden natural cause sever by any chance exhibit agi tation upon their features. Having sniffed the dead man's lips, I detected slightly sour smell, and I camo lo the conclusion that ho had had poison forced upon him. Again I argued that it had been forced upon hint, from tho hatred and faar ex pressed upon Ills face. By the method Of- exclusion I had arrived at this result, for no other hypothesis would meet tho facts. Do not imagine that it was a very unheard-of idea. The forcible administration of poison is by no means anew thing in criminal annals. Tho cases of Dolsky, in Odes sa, and of Leturlcr, in Montpelier, will occur at once to any toxlcologlst. "And now camo tho great question as to tho reason why. Robbery had not been tho object of the murder, for nothing was taken. Was it politics, then, or was it a woman? That was the question which confronted me. I Iwas inclined from tho first to tho lat iter supposition. Political assassins are only too glad to do their work and 'to fly. This murder had, on the con trary, been dono most deliberately, and the perpetrator had left his tracks ail over tho room, showing that he had been there all the time. It must have been a private wrong, and not a political one, which called for such a methodical rovenge. When the in scription was discovered upon the wall I was more inclined than ever to my .opinion. The thing was too evidently a blind. When tho ring was found, however, it settled tho question. Clearly tho murderer had used it to remind his victim of some dead or ab sent woman. It was at this point that I asked Oregson whether he had in quired in his telegram to Cleveland as te any particular point in Mr. Drebber'a former career. Ho answered, you re member, in the negative. "I then proceeded to make a careful examination of tho room, which con firmed me in my opinion as to the mur derer's height, and furnished me with the additional detail as to the Trichl nopoly cigar and tho length of his sails. I had already come to the con elusion, since -there were no signs of a struggle, that tho blood which covered the floor had burst from the murderer's nose" in his excitement. I could per ceke that tho track of blood coincided with the track of his feet. It is sel dom that any man, unless he is very full-blooded, breaks out in this jvay through emotion, so I hazarded the opinion that the criminal was probably a robust and ruddy-faced man. Events proved that I had judged correctly. I "Having left the house, I proceeded to do what Oregson had neglected. I telegraphed to the head of tho police at Cleveland, limiting my inquiry to the ciroumtttances connected with tho marriage of Enoch' Drebber. The an swer was conclusive. It told mo that Drebber had already applied, for the ?&. v ir I A IUQOKD YOUMOSTKR 'ASKED IF TBXRS a - 1 1 Kfm aaWsjfc - Jbt0mMmM WAB A CABBY TIIERX CALLED JKWWKH' aoK none.

I knew now that I held the ,' clew to tho mvEtcrv in my hand, and to sccuro the all that remained was tf murderer. i i ...... . . . j "i nau already determined in mr uwn iuiuii mat uio man wno had ,rt iwaikcd into tho house with Drebber pwaa nono other thon tho man who had ariven me coo, Tho marks in tho road showed me that tho horse had wan- I dered on in a way which would hivn been impossible had there been any one in chnnre of it. Whera. thn. cpuld tho driver be, unless ho were In i aide tho house? Again, it Is absurd to !jPPo t,,at any bano mn would car- Vy out a deliberate crime under the 'very eyes, as it were, of a third person, fnvho was sure to betray him. Lastly, ! supposing one man wished to dog an oilier through Tendon, what better kAans could ho adopt than to turri'cab lflver? All theso considerations led Vnetotjio IrrcsiHtiblo conclusion that I tafteraoa Hope was to be found among ;i, jo jsrreja ox wio metropolis. ;-ji no naa vocn ono there was no eaaon to believe that ho had ceased to fe. On tho contrary, from his point of i ;Iow, any sudden changa would be i Ikely to draw attention to himself. f le would probably, for a ttmo at least, ontlnuo to perform his duties. There Ivas no reason to upposo that ho was it olug under an assumed sumo. Why spould ho change his name In aeoan f ry whero no ono knew his original no? I therefore organized my street- itt J i a. a . ;rau detective corps, and Bent them K itematJoaUtorevcrygirojrl9r -. , r "' t I i 1 r - Miiiiiin' saviasM'" ,- ,- Nl-. . -pjr MJrifT-wTw In Iondon until they "ferreted out file man that I .wanted. How well they succeeded and how quickly I took ad vantage of it are still fresh in your recollection. The murder of Stangcr son was an Incident which was entire ly unexpected, but which could hardly In any case have been prevented Through It, aa you know, I came into possession of the pills, the existence of which I had already surmised. You aee tho whole thing ia a chain of log ical seouencea without a break or flaw." "It is wonderfull" I cried. "Your merits should be publicly recognized. You should publish an account of tho case. If you won't, I will for you." "You may do what you like, doctor," bo answered. "See hcrcl" he con tinued, handing a paper over to me; "look at this! look at this!" It was the Echo for the day, and the paragraph to which he pointed was de voted to the caso in question. "Tho public," it said, "have lost a sensational treat through the sudden death of the man Hope, who was sus pected of the murder of Mr. Enoch Drebber and of Mr. Joseph Stangerson. Tho details of the case will probably never bo known now, though wo are Informed upon good authority that the crime waa the result of an old-standing and romantic feud, in which love and Mormonlsm bore a part. It seems that both the victims belonged, in their younger days, to tho Latter-Day Saints, and Hope,' the deceased pris oner, hails also from Salt Lake City. If tho case has had no other effect, it at least brings out in the most striking manner tho efficiency of onr de tective police force, and will servo as a lesson to all foreigners that thoy will do wisely to settle their feuds at homo and not to carry them on to Ilritlsh soil. It is an open secret that tho credit of this smart capture be longs entirely to the well-known Scot land Yard officials, Messrs. Lcstrade and Oregson. The man was appre hended, It appears, in the rooms of a cer tain Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who has him self, as an amateur, shown some talent in the detective line, and who, with such instructors, may hope in time to attain to some degree of their skill. It is expected that a testimonial of somo sort will be presented to tho two officers as a fitting recognition of their aervlcea." "Didn't I tell you so when we started?" cried Sherlock Holmes, with a'laugh. "That's the result of all our study in scarlet; to get them a testi monial!" "Never mind," I answered; "I have all the facta in my journal and the public shall know them.N In the mean time yon must make yourself content ed by the consciousness of success, like the Roman miser " 'Populus me etbtlat, at mini plaudo ipse aomi sunul se numtaos coatesaplar lo area.'" Tins KND. MONKEYS' THUMBS. Aalmlaa Padarewakl Conld rawer Twt Octave. Tho hands, the fingers, and above all the thumbs belonging to Chico at tracted my particular attention. Now you must know that it Is because man has a thumb, and for the reason that his thumb la so beautifully jointed, Bupple and adjustable, that he has been able to overcome all difficulties, says a writer in Harper's. The other fingers are all very well in their way, but it is the thumb that controls the real move seat of the hand. Without a thumb you never could wield a heavy sledge hammer or the most delicate of watch-' ankers' tools. It is not out of the way to,ay that man ia the master, holding every other living thing "under his thumb." nere ia a little bit of natural history which must ac remembered about monkeya. All the monkeys of the old world have some kind of a thumb. Aa St, George" Mlvart, a great zoologist, .writes: "Any old-world monkey with rudimentary thumb (that is, a thumb, evfln If Imperfect) Is superior In that respect to an American monkey." In fact, the American monkey has no tthumb at all. tfature compensates in a measare in our mew-world monkey ,by giving him a wonderful tall. Thia American monkey tall is prehensile. It answers almost the purpose.ojf fifth limb. A South American monkey glyes Ma tail a hitch around tt liwb of a tree, and there he hangs quite com forNblr, Independent of hands or feet. Chliro's tauroba are superb, being ful ly four and oa4juarter inches long. The ordinary length of thd human thumb Is about two and one-hsU laches. Chlco'a middle finger (a a trifle over five ftseaca long. Man'a ia the and one-half laches. The ourang outang'a hand was narrow, apparently, but It seemed abowb the sjrfdjh of that of a human beaga, only pf proportion waa lost, owing to tua tremo length of tfca Angers.

If Cbice were a pianist he could with little ef fort cover two octaves and would leave Paderewakl quite In the ahade. If Chico had a Uate for the double baas, onco that those tomj fingers of hla were wound around the neric of a big fid dle, what a wonderful perforater he would be, providing tho Instrument woald xtand the atralu. TWO PHOTY APOLOGIES. Ooa Itaaa toy Jofca ttanaaMa t 0tar by m Coltfgm HttHimt, f m'" Tfie man who writes a letter dt Binding an apology must put .up" with the kind of apology he gets. HartyFur niss, tho caricaturist of Punch; J t will bo remembered, wan attacked by a member of parliament, and an cyo witness was reported to liavo said: 1 saw Mr. MaeNelll take Mr. FurntM by tho Ispel of tho coat and shake htm Ilk a dog, then X saw him tftka him by tho ear and shako him by that Mr. Furniss, who declared that tho assault was a merely technical and not a serious one, wrote to the eyowitness, asking if ho been correctly reported, and ho got tho following answer, which is quito as funnyi aa anything that Mr. Furniss himself ever provided for Punch: Sir: I understand that the statement at tributed to me and referred to by you waa due to a misapprehension of some chiding remarks of mine In the lobby Friday last, and I regret to say that I did not see you shaken like a dog, and am sorry to ssy that I did not witness tho pulling of your ear. Yours truly, JOHN UUBHS. This reminds us of tho apology made to tho faculty of Amherst collcgo by a student who ended his lifo as a foreign missionary. An apology for an offense having been required of all tho class he wrote as follows: I acknowledge that I attended tho class meet ing and voted to go and meet the South Hart ley girls at Mount Holroka, but owing to the scarcity of teams I was unable to go, for which 1 as very sorry.
