CHAPTER SlI.
That afternoon Hendricks and Dr.
Lampkln were seated in the oflice of
Prof. Weetcort, the celebrated interna
tional handwriting expert. They could
see the gray-headed gentlemen in the
adjoining room bending over the papers
' the detective had, two hours before,
submitted to him.
"And if he should agree with Miss
Huntington that the letter was written
ty Glelow, what then?" asked Lamp
lin. Hendricks shrugged his shoulders.
"I'd be compelled to believe him, as
much as it would upset a certain theory
cf mine. He knows his business; he
never has been mistaken in an analysis;
he has given 20 years of his life to the
study of all kinds of chirograph-."
Just then the grapholog:st rose, took
the two specimens of writing in his
hand and came towards them.
"Well," said Hendricks, "have yen
finished your analysis?"
"Yes, and I have never been more
thorough in my life, Mr. Hendricks.
Kot a single detail has escaped a care
By : W

ful scrutiny every character has been
' 'Examined." '. '
"And your opinion?"
"That the two are written by the
same hand."
The face of the detective fell. In a
moment, however, he was smiling as if
the report had been fully anticipated.
"Ycu are quite sure?" he said.
' "I'd stake my life end all I hope to
leave my family on it."
"Well, I had to have your opinion,
and" '
' Hendricks' gaze wandered to one of
the windows. He forgot to introduce
Dr. Lam plan and the professor, and
when the doctor extended his hand and
went through the formality himself, the
exchange of plntitudes between the two
wen did not attract bis attention.
" ' All at once he sprang up and grasped
the doctor's arm.
'"Come on, old man," he said, "I have
lots to do before night. Professor, I am
verv much obliged to vou. Send in your
bill."
"Where to now?" asked the doctor, as
. they were descending the narrow stairs.
"Hlame me if I know," answered the
detective, with a sheepish laugh. "I
.ruess I'll hove to sleep on the new turn
f affairs. But. I know how we can kill i
time, anyway. Sergt. Denham sent me
word this morning that he'd like to see
trie. I know what he wants, lie has
.got hold of some clew that he is bank
ing on, and he wants to crow over me.
Let's run up to his oflice round the cor
ner. While he's shooting off his mouth
I bet my hat he will let out his secret
j-oung detectives always do."
"Do you believe Prof. Westoott was
rifrht in his opinion?"
"I do not doubt it."
After that nothing wos said on the
way to Sergt. Deuhatn'a.
As they were shown into the nnte
reum they saw the young officer in th
adjoining otnee, his feet high up on his
desk, smoking.
Seeing his visitors, he called out to
Hendricks:
"Oh, hello, here you are! How goes
It?"
"So as to be about, I guess," said
Hendricks, extending his hand.
"I heard some time ago that you were
in the tiiclow affair," remarked the ser
.ge ant "and then I heard the report con
tradicted." . "Oh, you mean the Caruthers case,"
said Hendricks, with emphusis on the
acme, as he introduced Dr. Lumpkin.
The officer's eyes did not leave Hen
i3 ricks' face as he shook hands with the
doctor aisd mumbled something indis
tinctly. "I see," he said to the detective, "you
object to the use of Gielow's name. Eh,
boys," he turned to three of his sub--ordinate
in the other room, "did you
catch on to that? The great High
JIueky Muck of New York detective
ircles thinks we arc too previous,"
The three young men laughed hearti
ly, and nendrlcks slowly winked the

out of the sergeant's line of vision.
"Don't name the kid before it's born,"
be said. "If It were to turn out that

-cheap." , '
"If, yes( if," replied Denham, knock
ing his heels together and puffing at
tils cigar, and thereupon his allies unit

"I beard the night the severed hand
"was discovered that yon were on the
iot nosing around after s Job." The
sergeant said this with a grin. "Hen
dricks, I'll bet yon thought at first
that the heiress would put up a big price
to run the murderer down." -
Hendricks assumed a lifelike expres
sion of embarrassment. He took out
his handkerchief and blew his nose till
he was red in the face. Denham pointed
at him, and his companions entered the
room and stood round smiling.
"I hit you there, old man," said Den
ham. "But later when you found out
that Cielow bad fled, and that the heir
ess was soft on him, you knew the bot
tom had fallen out of your prospect, so
you gave up and haven't bad the heart
to go near your office for the last five
days."
"How do you know that?" questioned
the detectlve.with a well-assumed start.
"When my men have nothing to do
I let them ntftuse themselves in gratify
ing my nutural curiostiy."
"Spying on my movements," grunted
Hendricks, and there was much of gen
uine, irrepressible contempt in his tone.
"You may call it that if you wish,"
said Denbam, patronizingly, and he
touched Hendricks' arm. "There is no
harm done, I hope. I wish you well in
all you undertake, I'm sure. To tell
the truth, I'm rather sorry you are not
working on the case, for I won't get os
much glory out of it as if I had a dis
tinguished rival."
It was now Hendricks' turn, and
again he winked the eye next to the doc
tor, 'T don't see where the glory will come
in," he said. "Anybody could run down
a crazy man."
Denham waa unable to conceal the
effect tie word had on him. He puffed
at his cigar, his restless gaze averted
from the face of the half smiling de
tective. "Is that your belief, Hendricks?" he
said, finally, with a weak assumption of
amusement.
"Does it look like the work of a ra
tional mind?" questioned nendricks.
Denham shrugged his shoulders uneasily.-
1
"You perhaps forget that Cielow
might now want it to appear that he.
is and was insane."
"Perhaps so," agreed Hendricks.
"You fellows are better calculated to
judge than I, with the case well in
hand. As for my not being at the, of
fice, I have really been laid up sick at
home. This is my first day out, and this
is my physician."
"Oh, I see!" exclaimed Denham. "To
tell the truth, I was at a loss to know
why you were not at least interested in
the matter. That's why I wanted you
to drop In."
"I see you have been feeding the
Vultures of the Tress," remarked Hen
dricks, with a grin. "
"Couldn't help it," answered the ser
geant, shamefacedly. "Some of them
are warm friends of mine. Julian My

some tip-top dinners. But we have kept

have tilled pages of the papers. We re
ceived a letter from a druggist up in
Harlem who confessed that he had done
it and offered to explain if we would
send up to him. lie turned out to be off
his base, but we said nothing about it."
"Because it would have made you ap
pear ridiculous to be running after such
characters' smiled Hendricks.
"We don't bother with them," an
swered Denham, sharply. "In this case
we have had three hoaxes attempted on
us. Only this morning a young man
brought in a linen cuff with some words
Written on It in blood over Gielow's
same. The fellow said he hnd picked it
up somewhere. One of my young men
questioned hint closely, and being sat
isfied that it was a joke perpetrated by
some one on the man who brought the
cuff to us, he let him go."
Lumpkin sow' Hendricks' eyes flash
involuntarily, and then his face became
impassive again.
"What were the words on the cuff?"
he asked, indifferently.
"Oh, I don't remember. I was very
busy at the time and only heard the
boys toughing about it. It was the work
of a crank. Cielow was made to say
something about being innocent and
starving, and confined by a bantam
chicken or something equally as ridic
ulous." ' 1
( The stonelike' attitude of Hendricks
as he listened showed absorbing inter
est, but in a moment he had thrown it
off and he said, lightly:
"Let me see the thing, if it's lying
round."
Denham knocked the ashes from his
cigar. i
"Oh, it isn't worth your notice! We
threw it away. You see, Hendricks, I
don't mind telling you thnt we have our
case In tip-top shape. So hoax of any
kind can lead us from the work in hand.
We know exactly where Cielow is, and
will hnve him in the Tombs in 43 hours."
"Ah!" exclaimed IJ(:dricks. "You
have actually located him?"
"Beyond a shadow cf a doubt," said
the sergeant, nnd then one of his men
called him Into the other room. "I'll
be right back," he said to Hendricks.
"Don't hurry nwoy."
When they were alone In the room
Hendricks laid bis hand firmly on the
doctor's knee.
"My Cod!" he whispered, Impressive
ly, "I must get possession of thnt cuff,
ft may now be on its way to the city
trash piles, and heaven only knows Its
importance. Think of a man's fate be
ing in the hands of such idiotic, boast
ing blockheads. .Hush, he's coming! If
you want to learn to lie, listen to me
now. It lying falls I don't know what
I shall resort to. I'lliave that cuff by
fair means or foul!"
"Sorry to leave you," apologized Den
ham, coming back. v,
"Cot a mutch ?" asked Hendricks, tak
ing a cigar from hi pocket and biting
the tip off It. -
Denbam gave him one, and Hendricks
struck it on the sole of bis boot.
"I was just thinking of something re
called by your hoax of the cuff,'' he
laughed. "It is a big joke on me, which
I'll never tell unless I can absolutely
prove who perpetrated It and get even."
"So they actually work 'em on you,
do they?" grunted the sergeant, prof
fering a cigar to the doctor. He was
almost jovial.
"I should think so," said Hendricks,
smoking. "This one got me out of bed
at three in the morning and cost me cab
fare to Brooklyn, and not only that, but
it kept me there on u false acent for
three days and nights."
"Tell us about it," said Denham, with
horse lough.
"Never!" said Hendricks, shakinghis
head. "Never, unless I can Jail the
joker, and I'll do it some day or break
my neck trying. Now, it may surprise
you, but I see a sort of connection be
tween this cuff joke and the one worked
on me. In fact, I think, if I had the
cuff I could run my man down. It
mhy furnish me the very clew I need."
"Oh, that's the way the land lies!"
laughed the officer. He leaned back
hi his chair till he could look Into the
other room. "Oh. I say, Trimble." be
called out to a stenographer at a desx
In the comer. "Come here a minute."
The young man approached and stood
In the doorway.
"Do you know what became of that
bloody remnant?" 1
"It was In the waste basket this morn
ing," said the young man; "it must be
there yet."
"Bring it to Mr. nendrlcks, please."
When It was handed to hiin, nen
drlcks took it to a window nnd looked
nt it carelessly, then he smiled and put
it into the pocket of his top coat.
"It's exactly what I am locking for,"
he said. "I am going to have some fun
with a reputable citizen of New York,
nnd if you have time, sergeant, I'll let
you make the arrest."
Denham smiled. There was vast
condescension in his tone when he
spoke. '
"It really seems strange to me. Hen
dricks, that you can give yourself up
to such trivial things when there is so
much actual work to be done." ;
"Ah, for you. my boy!" Hendricks
said, as he extended his hand, "but re
member this Is one of my off periods.
11! get to work one of these days, and
then I'll put you on your mettle, I'm
not dead yet."
"I hope not, I hope not," answered
'Denham, as he turned back towards his
desk. . -
But as if obeying a second thought
Hendricks stopped In the doorway.
"I say. sergeant," he called out. "If
you could put me on to the address of
the young man who brought you this
cuff I think I could hurry up the fun a
bit.".
"That is out of the question," the of
ficer replied. "We let him go without
making any record of him. We'd be
a pretty lot of fools to spend our time
keeping a Ret of books to fill up with the
insane whims of all the cranks in New
York."
Hendricks laughed pleasantly.
"Well, I guess you are ubout right,"
be said.
He did not speak again until they
were In the Btreet, and then he
chuckled: .
"How was that, doctor?"
"Sir nenry Irving could not have done
it better," said Lampkln. "My friend,
my pride in you is as boundless as inter
stellar space. You are more than a de
tectiveyou are an histrionic genius.
Have you really made a find in this
bloody message?"
nendricks grunted and his brows met.
"There is a chance for it to mean noth
ing. I will not know till I can see
Olelow's servant. Come with me. It's
more than worth looking into."
As they hurried towards Broadway
to take the cable ears up town a heavy
snow began to full.
"This is really no day for you to be
out," counseled . the doctor. "You
might take cold, nnd " '
"Take the first ear. nnd here she

During the ride up town the face of
the detective wis the battle ground of
many inward emotions. Lampkin be

THE NEW METHOD OF
BLOOD PURIFYING.
What the New Discovery in Medical
Science Has Accomplished.
Ths Prompt Way to Curo Yourself When Symptom Show That Your
Blood Is Out Of Order.
THE EMINENT SPECIALIST'S FREE OFFER TO ALL
READERS OF THIS PAPER.
For a great many years it has been
the custom for sick people to say1: "My
blood is out of order. It needs purify
ing. I feel all used up. My skin needs
clearing. My brain feels tired."
They are right, but do they act right?
They generally go and get a laxative
(bowel cleaner) to purify their blood.
Does their blood run through their
bowels?
Science has to-day furnished proofs
that all the purifying that your blood
needs, in fact, all that can be done,
must be done by your kidneys.
All the blood in your body passes
through yonr kidneys every three min
utes. The kidneys strain or filter out the im
purities of the blood that is their work.
Purifying your blood is not a qucsr
tion of taking a laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through, your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into jour
blood, but the poisons which are already
in your blood, causing your present
sickness it learn there.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your kid
neys. ' That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work they fail to help the kid
neys. When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Boot the great
Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Boot you afford
natural help to nature, for Swamp-Boot

A young man was sitting in the
hotel office, looking dreamily and
drearily out of a window. The clerk,
who had nothing else to do just then,
came and sat down beside him, to
"cheer him up a little;" for it is part
of a good hotel man's business to keep
his guests happy and contented, so
they will stay longer.

make money, I'll be bound, Roberts,"

I'd give it, ail the same."
"And I'm womierlng what it was that
I didn't stay there more when I could

be out maybe till midnight, or later,

the morning."
"But of course no one can expect

"That's what father used to say," re
joined the guest: "When mother's

'We can't put our old heads on young

An Evidence of Prosperity.
It is generally conceded by economists,
who study the commercial situation of the
country, that the great arteries of railway
travel are a sure indication of its condition.
A depression in commercial lines means
abandoned business trips and the cancella
tion of pleasure travel, while healthy con
dition of affair means business trips and an
increase of passenger on pleasure bent.
A good evidence that a business revival
has gone broadcast over this country is the
"Late Shore Limited," the tar train of the
Vanderbilt system, between New York and
Chicago, which is daily comfortably filled.
With a view to taking the best possible care
of its patrons, the New York Central has
arranged to increase the equipment of this
train by placing an additional standard
sleeper on the trains leaving New York and
Chicago Tuesdays, Thursdays snd Satur
days. To the regular traveler the appoint
ments and comforts of this train are well
known, but if you have never made a trip
on it, you owe it to yourself to see and en
joy the advance made in comfort and lux
ury in modern railway travel. Remember
the fare is no higher on this train, except
between New York and Chicago, while the
accommodations and service place this par
ticular train conspicuously at the head of
the list, when compared with other lines.

THE delights of an evening spent around a well-lighted read
ing table are not half understood. An illustrated magazine
with its wealth of illustrations, its stories of adventure and
Jove, its descriptions of travel which cany you to the remotest '
ends of the earth, and its 'instructive articles for yenng and old these
are the first requisites for your own enjoyment and the entertainment
and proper education of your children.
To secure for you the best and most interesting of ths great illus
trated magazines at the lowest possible price has been the aim of the
editor of this journal. That we have succeeded we leave our readers
to judge. A special contract recently entered into with The Cosmo
politan, which seeks to become better known in this neighborhood, has
enabled us to offer you a year's subscription to the greatest of the illus
trated magazines together with a year's subscription to this journal.
Both Together 0neYearfor0nly$l.8O
In this way you secure your own home paper and an illustrated
magazine at a price that is only about a fourth of what wine of the
illustrated magazines sell for. For three years The Cosmopolitan has
undisputedly claimed that it reached the largest clientele possessed by
any periodical, daily, weekly or monthly, in the world. It was The
Cosmopolitan which sent Julian Hawthorne to India to let the world
know the real horrors of famine and plague. It was The Cosmopol
itan which established at its own cost a great Free Correspondence
University which now has over 20,000 students on its rolls. It was
The Cosmopolitan which offered a prize of $3,000 for the best horse
less carriage and prizes for best plans for public baths, and best arranger
ment of sewer and pipe systems for cities. It was The Cosmopolitan
which set the presidents of great schools and universities seriously
discussingthe defects of existing educational systems. It is The
Cosmopolitan whose enterprise is always in the lead in advancing the
.WPtlii's civilization. 1 . " ' . "' " ' ,
We have also succecd-'d In arranging for two additional offers "
connection with this journal and The Cosmopolitan.
After placingon your book -table the best of the illustrated magazines
in connection with your home paper, probably the most important
thing in a household for every household, in fact is the proper
keeping of accounts. The only thorough system of Self-Instruction
.n Bookkeeping is the "Ellis." It is not only a complete instructor,
but with it, neatly put up in a box, go sales-book, cash-book, journal,
ledger, bill-heads, statements, bank-book, bills payable and bills re
ceivable, checks, remitting book and every conceivable appliance for
beginning and carrying on the business of the farm, the shop, the
manufactory or the store. More people fail in business because they
Jo not keep their accounts straight than from any other cause.
Farmers ana mechanics, husbands and wives, students and profes
sional men, young and old, rich and poor, all need some knowledge of
accounting. By the "Ellis System" this is easily acquired through
home study, 1
" The cheapest price at which this is sold at retail is 1.75 (express
from Michigan unpaid), but The Cosmopolitan has purchased many
thousands of sets so that it may offer them if taken in connection
with this paper and The Cosmopolitan
All Three Together for Only $2.25
One other opportunity we offer you. You wish to keep in.toi;ch
with metropolitan life, through the medium of a great daily. The
Thrice-a-Week World of New York is the equivalent of a daily and
is a marvellous fund of knowledge concerning t,he happenings of the
day. Each issue contains six to eight pages of eight columns each or
over eight thousand columns of reading matter a year. In former
days this would have cost you probably as much as S6.00 a year,
by itself. Now you can have it, if you wish, in connection with your
home paper and The Cosmopolitan Magazine
Three Together floe Year for Only $2.35
