II fci Variety i this nature ahould pass unsolved, particularly aa tha vary absence ot eluaa mads it tha mora unusual. In aplta of tha faet that Madame No'rbert mada enly a pitifully bare living by har hours of hard work, tha oauaa ot har death had evidently been robbery, for her puree waa found nearby, atripped of all the coins which usually Jangled within It. Upon the bottle with which, the murder had been committed there ware tha aharply outlined nnrerpHnta of a thumb and forefinger but these, as tha police soon discovered, were not to be matched by any on file at headquarters and tha only possible Indication of- tha criminal waa a cheaply made bit ot looking" glass, such aa women carry In thalr hand bags to uaa as an emergency mirror. Thla giasa waa made in the ehape ot a crescent and the edgea were rough ly finished, so that Inspector Bouch ard, who waa given charge ot tha case, waa certain that It bad been- aold In ona of the cheapeat quarter ot the city. - "You're not going to try, to trace the criminal merely through that bit of glassT' Inquired one of Souchard'a assistants', atuased"at tha enormity of the undertaking. 1 "Why notr waa tha reply. "Ifa the only available evidence and. while I'll admit that tt'a difficult, lt'a by no means as hard aa attempting to lo cate a alngle pair of ringer prints among tha hundreds of thouaanda of people In the city." So, underterrad by a realisation of tha fact that ha had undertaken a colloasal task, Bouchard went to work to discover where the bit ot crescent- shaped glaaa had come from and who had dropped It near the dead body of Madame Norbert For weeka be haunted tha factories which turned out trinkets of thla kind, only to be met by tha asms monotonoua reply: we never made anything or tne kind. It'a too cheap for onr trade." "But then." aa Bouchard would re- assure himself, "tha more unusual It la the better the chance for success when I Anally discover who made it." And he continued his search undis mayed, spending his Bight In haunt ing tha cafes, dance halts, and other dives ot Montmartra In 'he hope of chancing across another mirror Ilka the one he had In hie pocket. After more than two montha of fruitless watching he finally aaw a grisette take a mirror out of, her bag and he barely restrained a start aa he noted that It waa the precise counter part of the one that had lain betide the murdered woman. A closer In spection showed that even the bevell ing waa roughly dona and ha Inquired of the girl where she had bought it "One of the workmen in the mirror factory near where I live made It." she replied. "He gets hold of odd bits of glaaa and makes the mirrors after hours." Bouchard's visit to the man In ques tion elicited the fact that he bad made only four ot the ereacent-ahaped bits os glaaa because, aa he said, tha ah ape had not been popular with hla trade and he found that It was better to concentrate on tha round ehape for which there waa a greater demand. However, he recalled tha names ot the women who had bought tha odd aiaes and tha Inspector's ween of un ceasing work waa finally rewarded by locating among tha names which the mirror-worker gave htm. a woman whose finger prints precisely matched those on the bottle with which Jladame Herbert had bee killed 1 GUILFORD SENIORS OF HIGH SCHOOL HONORED Junior Class Delightfully Entertains Upper Class and Members of Ik Faculty.
