beyond me he pulled a bunch of keys from a- baggy trousers pocket flung his oig- mette butt on the floor and automatic ally stamped it out and reached down to unlock the drawer of a specially constructed fireproof cabinet that stood beside the desk what do you make of this he asked the object which camberwcll held out on the extended palm of his hand was a small flat jar of glass with a tightly fitting screw top- fire is always a freakish thing he mused with the brush dry as tinder as it is at this time of year it was hot enough to burn nearly all the flesh off this womans bones of course if it was murder and the fire was not accidental there is the possi bility that the body was drenched in some inflammable substance first yet this one little scrap was left a flame that veered in a puff of wind a bit of earth less dry than tho rest well never know the how and why of it but here it is dr cavanaugh deliberately flatten ed the burning end of his cigar against the side of the ash tray be fore reaching for the jar he was capable of rapid action when necessity arose but he never hurried without reason his only sign of eagerness was the agatehardening of his brown eyes a change of expression which camberwcll was quick to note and ap preciate i told you 1 didnt bring you here for nothing he said you can bet one of those nickels with yourself that youll find this interesting or cavanaugh gravely selected a nickel from a handful of loose change and laid it on the corner of the desk then he unscrewed vho lid of the jar and walked to the light of the big window hm his only immediate com ment was a noncommittal hum but when he returned to the desk after a somewhat prolonged scrutiny at the window he pocketed the nickel this goes to the elephant he said but it was hardly a fair bet i ex pected to lose your finds usually ara interesting you know yes he added i can doubtless do something with this not everything but something itll be plenty camberwcll assur

cavanagh turned the box idly in his hands and looked meditatively into the distance it has taken thousands of years for us to discover that the skm of the fingers and the hair and the markings on a discharged bullet are unique and individual perhaps a few more thousands of years we shall know that of a million pebbles on tho beach each has marks of identifica tion which makes it different from every other that would make the keeping of our records even more complicated cambcrwcllsmiled he rather hooed the reference to his own work would bring the doctor back to the matter in hand but dr cavanaughs molow voice rolled steadily en hegel whom perhaps you have never read called it the uniqueness of the real a dime for instance he maintains has what he termed an infinite number of distinguishing marks even though a million dimes were stamped with the same die and minted with the same machinery we can never construct in our imagina tion any idea or image of a dime or a hair or a bullet which is as infi nitely complex as he real object hegel is considered oldfashiorued now but he would have agreed whole heartedly with your new science of forensic ballistics an acute observer might have har bored the suspicion that dr cavan augh was drifting along the current of this irrevelcnt discourse with the- surface of his mind while his real at tention was elsewhere under cover of these meanderings he appeared to be gaining time for some hidden line of thought reaching some inner de cision but cambcrweil was not a psychologist he twisted uneasily in lis chair with so much to be done he was in no mood to listen to a lec ture on philosophy slight as it was his impatient movement did not escape the dreamy inattentive eyes of dr cavanaugh- he shook off his absorption and laid down his cigar as if that small and definite act were the symbol of his decision im as bad as hamlets grave dig ger hed never have been allowed to finish that soliloquy if one of you de tectives had been present he said with the smile which revealed a sur prising njobility of expression in the large deeply chiseled features how ever i promise not to waste any more time ill take this home with me where i can take a squint at it under tho microscope and give you a report in the morning you think you can identify it- cambcrweil asked eagerly at least ill narrow the range of possibilities and dr cavanaugh slipped the gruesome little box into his pocket as nonchalantly as if it had been a package of peppermints cambcrwclls impatience perhaps would again have been severely tested if he had seen the psychologist several hours later placidly stretched on the chaiselongue and apparently concen trating on the production of the series of perfect smoke rings which floated ccilingward no one would have sus pected that recumbent figure of a pre occupation with crime nevertheless dr cavanaugh had spent a busy two hours during which the florentine desk appointments had ben relegated to the floor and ther place taken by a sheet of glass the desk oddly eut of keeping with the rest of tho furnishings of the room became a laboratory tabe where dr cavanaugh his tig fingers moving with delicate precision made a num ber of smears on n scries of small strips of glass protected wh one with a coverglass and marked it with a redbordered sticker labeled ii the doctors neat minute handwriting- his faco was impersonally cnlm and intent as if the rmall objects whici ho manipuatf d with rapid expertness belonged to the routine of a class i wh experiment instead of holding a mean ing heavy with lifo and death and tragedy and crime ho sat almost motionless hunched over the micro- scop occasionally removing one slide- to insert another taking notes on the pad of paper under his hand without removing his eye from tho lens atl last with a faint sight he shut the i microscope once again into its wooden i case and restored the desk fittings to their accustomed places even the sheets of faintly pencilled notes were thrust casually into a drawer stretch ing himself comfortably on the chaise- longue dr cavanaugh devoted him self to watching the procession of smoke rings through drowsy half shut eyes to all appearances body and mind were alike relaxed in the aim less revcry that precedes sleep but the air of somnolence which hung over the quiet room was illusory dr ca vanaugh was thinking hard slipping ideas and inferences into place as pre cisely aj he had slipped the slides under the lens of the microscope sud denly he heaved himself up from the chaiselongue and moved to the

the doctor had time to put his feet to the floor preparatory to an swering the single sharp announce ment of the bell youve found out something tho momentum of his entrance carried don half way across the room before he paused the words were half a question half an exclamation chapter xii dr cavanaugh motioned his visitor to a chair disregarding the tempestu ous manner of his entrance and wait ed until don had flung himself into it i dont believe i said i had found anything he corrected mildly no but i understood that there was some news in which you might be interested as a matter of fact it is impossible to say as yet whether even that really concerns you however on the fact of it it seemed worth discussing what is it you have found from dons dry throat the words emerged as ijttle more

noticeably thinner than on his previous visit but a careful ob server would have noted that the effect was due not so much to actual loss of weight as to the lines which gave his features a drawn look

conclusion of p p blonsky russian psychologist who compared the intelligence scores and birth months of a large number of moscow school children he found a significant difference in favor of those born in the three spring- months those born in the winter were dullest he said the children were nil below normal and from poor homes blonsky ex plained the diifercn e as due to the fact that children born in the spring get more fresh air and that milk is cheaper then so that parents can af ford to buy it the winters children must spend their first months in a stuffy and often filthy environment in

inactive hours she tried her hand at writing short stories itad several accepted by a magazine and in less than three years she won tho pulitzer prize now i am not sug gesting anything so drastic as a cracked skull and three broken ribs as being essential qualifications to literary fame and fortune the point is you never know what you can do until you try one of the quaintest reasons for taking up writing is that owned up to by b m delafield noted english novelist it seems that on a dull visit to country acquaintances she suddenly found herself adopting the ruse of a friend of hers who made it
