Sh wed in Small Congrega
tions at Meetings; Few
Evening Services.
Omaha churches all entered fully
upon their summer schedules of cur
' tailed services yesterday to continue
until September 1. There were prac
tically no evening services in indi
vidual churches. In several parts of
the city union services in the parks
brought large crowds.
Even in the morning services
the absence of amny people from
the city on vacations or attending
religious conferences showed in
tmall congregations.
The union services of five congre
gations in the Kountze park district
which started last Sunday evening
were very well attended. Several
hundred chairs and benches were
povidel and all were filled. Expecta
ions were greatly exceeded on the
f'rst evening of the union services
and last night's services indicated
that the people like these "al iresco"
meetings. Rev. E. L. Reese, pastot
of Hartford Memorial United Breth
ren church, preached" last night.
There was special music by a quar
tette besides the congregational
Huging.
Rev. Dr. J. B. Work preached in
the morning at the First United
Presbyterian church, Twenty-first
and Etnmett streets. Dr. Work is
vice-president of Tarkio college and
holds the chair of bible study there.
He ii. recognized as one of the fore
most authorities on the Bible in
this country. He will act as pastor
of the First United Presbyterian
church during uly and August.
At Farkvale Presbyterian church
Rev. Earl B. Clark who was an army
chaplain in France, preached both
morning and evening.

SOLDIER BOYS
ENJOY PAPERS
FROM HOME TOWN
Nebraska New York Head-
r quarters Finds Army Vet
erans Welcome Chance to
Get Home News.
Four hundred and seventy-five
Nebraska men arrived in New York
from overseas the week of July 1-8.
The number of Nebraska men en
tertained at the state headquarters,
1-5 West Forty-second street was
490, nearly 100 of whom were vis
itors July 4.
Everythig about the headquar
ters seems to appeal to the men.
They are enthusiastic over; -the
homey atmosphere of the place and
they appreciate the welcome, which
they say is "so genuine." It is the
Nebraska newspapers that bring
more real joy to the men than can
be expressed in words. The fact that
papers from such towns as Ashton,
Merma, Table Rock, Waco and even
from smaller places can be handed
immediately to the returning sol
dier as he places his name on the
Nebraska register makes the man
open his eyes in wonder.
When the boys begin to read the
home papers the hostess on duty at
headquarters at once becomes the
recipient of their enthusiastic out
bursts. The hoys love to talk things
ever, ihe other day a boy trom
the western part of the state picked
up his home town paper, the first
he had seen for a year yes, his
folks had sent him papers, but
well, he did not get them. To the
Nebraska hostess on duty he ex
claimed, "I found two items already
about my own folks. Grandfather
is building a new barn and my
brother was toastmaster at the high
school alumni banquet. And here's
an item about a girl I used to go
with. She has just been married."
Then he went into details concern
ing the girl, the financial standing
ot her parents and described her
appearance.
Other items which interest the
men very much are the paragraphs
containing mention of other boys
who have already reached home.
The columns telling of the reception
given to the returning soldiers as
they reach home also arouses more
interest.
A man from Hastings came in a
few days ago on his way to the
train. He had not visited headquar
ters before, as it had been impossi
ble for him to obtain a pass from
camp. He received his discharge
here and made this hurried visit as
he said, "just to pay his respects to

CHAPTER XXI.
On a Hot Scent
"Come in," called Trent.
Mr. Cupples entered his
room at the hotel. It was the early
evening of the day on which the
coroner's jury, without leaving the
box, had pronounced the expected
denunciation of a person or persons
unknown. Trent, with a hasty glance
upward, continued his intent study
of what lay in a photographic dish
of enameled metal, which he moved
slowly about in the light of the
window. He looked very pale and
his movements were nervous.
"Sit on the sofa," he advised. "The
chairs are a job lot bought at the
sale after the suppression of the
holy inquisition in Spain. This is a
pretty gtod negative," he went on,
holding it up to the light with his
head at the angle of discriminating
judgment. "Washed enough now, I
think. Let us leave it to dry, and
get rid of all this mess."
Mr. Cupples, as the other busily
this sort of talk in Trent meant the
excitement of action, and was won
dering what he could be about. "I
came in to thank you, my dear fel
low, for looking after Mable this
morning. I had no idea she was
going to feel ill after leaving the
box; she semed quite unmoved, and
really she is a woman of such ex
traordinary self-command, I thought
1 could leave her to her own de
vices and hear out the evidence,
which I thought it important I
should do. It was a very fortunate
thing she found a friend to assist
her, and she is most grateful. She
is quite herself again now."
Trent, with his hands in his pock
ets and a slight frown on his brow,
made no reply to this. "I tell you
what," he said after a short pause,
"I was just getting to the really in
teresting part of the job when you
came in. Come: would you like to
see a little bit of high class police
work? It's the very same kind of
work that old Murch ought to be do

sprang off the table and disappeared
into his bedroom. Presently he came
out with a large drawing board on
which a nnniltpr r( liAtrrtnrrt,iri,, c
"That is called hypo-eliminator, objects was ranged,

it. though, all the same. It elimi

shouldn't wonder if it would elimi

a place for the last of the litter
on the crowded mantel shelf, and
came to sit before Mr. Cupples on
the table. "The great thing about
a hotel sitting room is that its
beauty does not distract the mind
from work. It is no place for the
May-tly pleasures of a mind at ease

things have to be put back where

the sort of man I am nothing stops

ing when everyone was down at the
inquest, and I dare say some people

without it if, in some fantastic, far
off hotel, they were to give me some
other sitting room. Look at this
table cover; there is the ink I spilled
on it when I had this room in Hali
fax. I burnt that hole in the carpet
when I had it in Ipswich. But I
see they have mended the glass over
the picture of 'Silent Sympathy,'
which I threw a boot at in Banbury.
I do all my best work here. This
afternoon, for instance, since the
request, I have finished several ex
cellent negatives. There is a very
good dark room downstairs."
"The inquest that reminds me,"
said Mr. Cupples, who knew what
Nebraska and to say that the boys
were mighty glad Nebraska was on
the job in New York." He had not
seen a home paper for eight months.
The hostess of the day immediately
had a bundle made for him contain
ing a month's numbers. He left the
room smiling, hugging those papers,
and said, "Gee, but I am going to
have a good time all the way to Chi
cago. When I get home I will know
a little about what's been going -on
anyway."
The boys from the smaller towns
express more surprise at finding
their home papers than the men
from Lincoln or Omaha. They sort
of take it for granted that their pa
peis will be here, while the men
from Bennet, Bruning and Crooks
town are inclined to think it a
joke when they are told there is a
home paper waiting for them. The
papers are also forwarded to the
men who are in the New York hos
pitals from time to time.
Papers from 200 Nebraska towns
arrive each week for the boys to
enjoy while they are in New York.

"Certainly I call." said Mr. Cun-
ples, peering at it with great in
terest. "It is ai ordinary glass bowl.
It looks like a finger bowl. I see
nothing odd about it," he added aftr
some moments of close scrutiny.
"That," replied Trent, "is exactly
where the fun comes in. Now take
this little fat bottle, Cupples, and
pull out the cork. Do you recog
nize that powder inside it? You
have swallowed pounds of it in your
time, I expect. They give it to
babies. Gray powder is its ordinary
name mercury and chalk. It is
great stuff. Now while I hold the
basin sideways over this sheet of
paper, I want you to pour a little
powder out of the bottle over this
part of the bowl just here.
Perfect! Sir Edward Henry himself
could not have handled the powder
better. You have done this before,
Cupples, I can see. You are an old
hand."
"I really am not," said Mr. Cup
ples seriously, as Trent returned the
fallen powder to the bottle. "I as
sure you it is all a complete mystery
to me. What did I do then?
"I brush the powdered part of the
bowl lightly with this camel-hair
brush. Now look at it again. You
saw nothing odd about it before. Do
you see anything now?"
Mr. Cupples peered again. "How
curious," he said. "Yes, there are
two large gray finger marks on the
bowl. They were iot thre before."
"I am Hawkshaw the detective,"
observed Trent. "Would it interest
you to hear a short lecture on the
subject of glass finger bowls? When
you take one up with your hand you
leave traces upon it, usually prac
tically invisible, which may remain
for days or months. You leave the
marks of your fingers. The human
hand, even when quite clean, is never
quite dry, and sometimes in mo
ments of great anxiety, for instance,
Cupples it is very moist. It leaves
a mark on any cold smooth surface
it may touch. That bowl was moved
by somebody with a rather moist
hand quite lately." He sprinkled the
powder again. "Here on the other

side, you see, is the thumb mark
very good impressions all of them."
He spoke without raising his voice,
but Mr. Cupples could perceive that
he was ablaze with excitement as
he stared at the faint gray marks.
"This one should be. the: index
finger. I need not tell a man of your
knowledge of the world that 'the pat
tern of it is single-spiral whorl, with
deltas symmetrically disposed. This.
j the print of the second nnger, is a
simple loop, with a staple core and
IS counts. I know there are IS, be
cause I have examined in detail.
Look 1" he held one of the nega
tives up to the light of the declin
ing sun and demonstratd with a
pencil point. "You can see they're
the same. You see the bifurcation
of that ridge. There it is in the
other. You see that little scar near
the center. There it is in the other.
There are a score of ridge-characteristics
on Which an expert would
swear in the witness box that rhe
marks on that bowl and the marks
I have photographed on this nega
tive were made by the same hand."
"And where did you photograph
them? What does it all mean?"
asked Mr. Cupples, wide-eyed.
"I found them on the inside of the
left-hand shelf of the front window
in Mrs. Manderson's bedroom. As
I could not bring the window with
me, I photographed them, sticking a
bit of black paper on the other side
of the glass for the purpose. The
bowl comes from Manderson's room.
It is the bowl in which his false
teeth were placed at night. I could
bring that away, so I did."
"But those cannot be Mable's
finger marks."
"I should think not!" said Trent
with decision. "They are twice the
size of any print Mrs. Manderson
could make."
"Then they must be her hus
band's." "Perhaps they are. Now shall we
see if we can match them once
more? I believe w can." Whistling
faintly, and very white in the face,
Trent opened another small squat
bottle containing a dense black pow
der. "Lamp-black," he explained.
"Hold a bit of paper in your hand
for a second or two, and this little
chap will show you the pattern of
your fingers." He carefully took
up with a pair of tweezers one of
the leaves cut from his diary, and
held it out for the other to examine.
No marks appeared on the leaf. He
tilted some of the powder out upon
one surface of the paper, then, turn
ing it over, upon the other; then
shook the leaf gently to rid it of
the loose powder. He held it out
to Mr. Cupples in silence. On one
side of the paper appeared unmis
takably, xlearly printed in black, the
same two finger prints that he had
already seen on the bowl and on
the photographic plate. He took up
the bowl and compared them. Trent
turned, the paper over, and on the
other side was a bold plack replica
of the thumb mark that was printed
in gray on the glass in his hand.
"Same man, you see," Trent said
with a short laugh. "I felt that it
must be so, and now I know." He
walked to the window and looked
out. "Now I know," he repeated in
a low voice, as if to himself. His
tone was bitter. Mr. Cupples, un
derstanding nothing, stared at his
motionless back for a few moments.
"I am still completely in the dark,"
he ventured presently. " Have often
heard of this finger-print business,
and wondered how the police went
to work about it. It is of extraor
dinary interest to me, but upon my
life I cannot see how in this case
Manderson's finger prints are going-"
"I am very sorry, Cupples," Trent
broke in upon his meditative, speech
with a swift return to the table.
"When I began this investigation I
meant to take you with me every
step of the way. You mustn't think
I have any doubts about your discre
tion if I say now that I must hold
my tongue about the whole, thing,
at least for a time. I will tell you
this: I have come upon a fact that
looks toe much like having terrible
consequences if it is discovered by
any one else." H looked at the other
with a hard and darkened face, and
struck the table with his hand. "It
is terrible for me here and now. Up
to this moment I was hoping against
hope that I was wrong about the
fact. I may still be wrong in the
surmise that I base upon that fact.
There is only one way of finding out
that is open to me, and I must
nerve myself to take it." He smiled
suddenly at Mr. Cupples' face of
consternation. "All right I'm not
going to be tragic any more, and
I'll tell you all about it when I can.
Look here, I'm not half through my
game with the powder bottles yet."
He drew one of the defamed
chairs to the table and sat down
to test the broad ivory blade of the
paper knife. Mr. Cupples, swallow
ing his amezement, bent forward in
an attitude of deep interest and
handed Trent the bottle of lamp
black.

The West Indian elevator boy
ducked his head obsequiously to
Allen Drake as he ushered our party
into the apartment elevator.
"See that you do," Mr. Drake
replied curtly, and a few seconds
later we were standing outside a
door on the third floor of the
aparatment building.
It was a door no whit different

seemed to be a gateway to unknown
horrors, with a woman I so dreaded
a very dragon at the portals.
"Steady," Lillian whispered. She
had her hand upon my arm, and
I realized that she had felt the
tremor of nervousness which had
shaken me. "She isn't here yet."
I looked at her in surprise, then
realized that instead of ringing the
doorbell, Mr. Drake was fitting a
key in the lock as colly as if he
were the master of the apartment
inside. In another moment he had

lessly open, and ushered us inside.
I felt a little cold shiver run
down my back at the darkness into
which we were plunged as Mr.
Diake swung the door into its
place again. At the further end of
the hall a tiny gleam showed that
the occupant of the apartment had
left one light at least behind her,
but it did not illuminate the hall at
all. Mr. Drake whipped out a
powerful electric flashlight, played
it low upon the floor so that we
were able to pick a pathway into
the room at the rear of the hall.
An Extraordinary Room.
It was the ordinary living room
of a furnished apartment, but even
the cursory inspection which the
faint gleam of the turned-down
light enabled me to make told
me that an extraordinary per
sonality abode there. Oriental
draperies, daring and colorful, were
evciy where, exotic flowers filled
oddly-shaped vases and bowls,
and the odor of incense hung heavy
in the air.
I had no time for more than a
brief glimpse of the room. Mr.
Drake leaaing his flashlight play
over corners, turned to Lillian.
'This is the room?" At his ques
tion, I realized that his friend had
been in this room before, had plan
ned this bizarre meeting to the last
detail.
"Yes," she replied laconically,
"and the alcove is yonder."
She pointed to a pair of black
velvet curtains, heavily and intri
cately embroidered with gold
thread in Chinese designs. To
my excited imagination they look
like a gorgeous pall. Mr. Drake's
next words made me shiver in
unreasoning terror.
"You wish Mrs. Graham to stand
there?" His manner told me that
Lillian was at the head of the enter
prise, and that Allen Drake for once
in his life was playing a subordi
nate role.
"I think that is the best place
don't you?" The question showed
perfunctory deference, yet I knew
that Lillian would have been sur
prised and resentful indeed had Mr.
Drake answered the question other
thnn he did.
"Unquestionably," he returned
with a courteous little bow, "and I
would suggest that she occupy it

immediately. Our friend ought to
be back here pretty soon.
Lillian took my hand promptly.
"Come along Madge," she said
cheerfully, although in low tones,
and the next minute she had swept
aside the pall-like curtains, dwclos
in?; an alcove with couch and pil
lows, and-a low chcair.
"You Can Even See"
"Give me your flashlight,
please," she said to Mr. Drake, and
when she had complied she played
it upon every comer of the dark
place, then returned it without com
ment. But I, who know her divine
thoughtfulness so well realized
that she comprehended my
nervous panic and had taken the
qu'ekest, surest way to assure me
tlir.t nothing lurked behind the cur
tains with me.
"Now stand in this corner," she
said, stationing me in such a fash
ion that even if the occupant of the
apartment should come straight to
the alcove upon entering, she
would not be able to see me, "and
listen carefully to everything that
goes on. You even can see .the

breathed softly. Lillian dropped the
cur;ain between her and me, saw to
it that they were closed tightly.
I heard her footsteps lightly
crossing the room to Mr. Drake's
sire.
And then to my strained ears came
the sound of the key grating in the
lock, and noisy flinging open of the
outside door.
