Such was ' his overwhelming
amasement that Mr. Roche eyed
him wonderingly.
“What in the world is the mat
ter, Mr. Rankin?” he demanded
hurriedly. “You’re not ill, I hope?
You act as if you’re acquainted
with the man.”
The detective wiped his brow.
“That’s just it, I am. But it’s ab
solutely incredible; for the life of
me, I can’t understond how it can
be possible. You see—” In time,
he recalled how little Mr. Roche
knew of the true reason he sought
the ex-soldier. “He’s a notorious
second-story man, and wanted
badly in many cities.”
With this revelation, he grasped
in one fell swoop all the elabor
ate mechanism of the murder. At
one moment he was blindly fol
lowing his nose; the next, every
piece of a complicated and ingen
ious puzzle, the sheer originality
of which he had not even dream
ed, fell into place. He needed no
more information from the marine
records. Now he knew how the
crime had been engineered and
when it was committed. He per
ceived all the subtle safeguards by
which the murderer prevented su
spicion from lighting on him, the
daring that revealed his pervert
ed mind. Always ready to allow
his opponent due credit, Rankin
appreciated his plot, as brilliant
and audacious as any he had ever
encountered. The measure of its
success was the completeness with
which it had baffled him until this
very moment. With the solution ^

minutes elapsed before footsteps
echoing along the stairs announc
ed Dr. Brantman’s approach.
Without any comment he led
Rankin into the lofty waiting
room for patients.
Rankin apologized for the in
trusion and then came directly to
the point. His first query caused
Dr. Brantman to shake a solemn
head and tighten his lips with a
sigh.
"Yes, I was well acquainted
with Mrs. Keith,” he replied; “I
treated her for headaches. ... A
dreadful business that.” He paus
ed and made commiserating
sounds. “Only I don’t think it was
Wednesday evening, May twenty-
fourth, that she consulted me last;
it was several days later.”
He went with Rankin into his
private office. “Yes, I am right.”
He pointed a finger at a scrawled,
almost illegible notation. “Here it
is. two days later, at eight-thirty
p. m„ on Friday, May twenty-
sixth.”
“Of course, doctor, that fits in
perfectly after all,” declared Ran
kin. “She couldn’t have visited
you Wednesday. She was accom
panied, wasn’t she, Dr. Brant
man ? ”
At the physician’s reply, his

case, of a cunning with which he ,

testi-
deed
could show the man’s motives and
opportunity, and a dozen suspici
ous moves, they had only the
force of suppositions. Dennis had
no eyewitnesses to positive acts
that linked him inescapably to
Barbara Keith’s death. So incrim
inating were the circumstances
that Rankin depended on them
alone to cOnvict him; but he was
not satisfied. He wanted to leave
no loophole by which the man
might e.scape and this he
accomplish only with some
mony that brought the
straight home to him.
While he continued his conver
sation with Mr. Roche, Rankin’s
mind r^ced in search of ^le
fact that would close his / net.
Step by step he reviewed every
transaction of the criminal, his
preparations, precautions and fin
al act; and each detail of the
plot he discarded as being incap
able of direct proof. That is. un
til he considered Dennis’ purchase
of the chloroform. In obtaining
that, he committed a distinctly in
criminating act. which lent over
whelming significance to the pure
ly circumstantial evidence. The
difficulty was tliat, despite a
thorough canvassing of all city
druggists. Rankin’s assistants had
thus far been unable to trace it.
Unless his quarry had never
bought the drug at all I The idea
that occurred to the detective at
that instant caused him to break
aff his conversation with Mr.
Roche. Suddenly he had recalled
an item of information Mortimer
Keith had casually dropped early
in the case. At the time he could
attach no importance to it, and
quickly forgot it; now it suggest
ed a startling possibility that
made kirn stiffen and breathe ex
citedly, as he pondered it. He did
not believe some one else bought
the chloroform for Dennis;
was too great a risk.

soon as he finished hl» business
with the secretary, he returned to
the Union Station and at 0:16
caught a train for Philadelphia,
Three hours later the train de
posited him in Broad Street Sta
tion and he went directly to City
Hall to complete the necessary
formalities. Then armed with the
warrant, he departed and walked
briskly down Broad Street to Pine.
Here he turned, and ju»t past
ISth Street he stopped before a
pened to be occu,pied at this
desk, I might not notice what went
difficult to believe.
“Not if you know the person
we’re dealing with as well as I
do,” Rankin returned.
‘•But wouldn’t Mrs. Keith be
curious about the theft? She’d
question it, or stop him, or in
form me of it.”
“She was in no position to pre
vent anything,” Rankin explain
ed. “She didp’t dare interfere. . . .
You had better look, doctor, to
find out whether I’m mistaken.
But just point out the drug; we
must be careful not to destroy
any clues or prints.”
“I hope to God you are wrong,”
Dr. Brantman murmured fervent
ly-
* More pallid than usual, he
stepped behind the screen. The
detective located the bottle.
“I fear that you are right after
all, Mr. Rankin,” he announced
gravely. “The amounts don’t check
at all; I should have seven ounces
left. Even if my judgment is only
roughly correct, at least four
ounces are missing ”
Delighted by tne substantiation
of his theory, Rankin lifted the
vial with extreme caution.
“And that means there should
be fingerprints,” he commented,
“if this hasn’t been disturbed
since. . . . He probably brought a-
long a small container instead of
taking this.”
Fifteen minutes later, with the
evidence upon which he relied and
Dr. Brantman as a witness, the
detective left the house on Pine
Street. On the warrant in his
pocket he had filled in the crimin
al’s name. His eyes glistened with
excitement as he summoned a
taxi. Experienced though he was
in the pursuit of wrongdoers, he
would have been less than human
not to be stirred by this moment

GOOD DAIRY COWS
PAY BEST PROFIT
Ten good cows are more prof
itable than 20 low producers.
In fact, low producers are oft
en an expense rather than a
profit, declares R. H. Ruffner,
head of the animal husbandry de
partment at State College.
A cow giving six quarts of milk
a day just about pays for her
feed. She pays nothing for stable
rent or for the labor required for
her care and milking.
But a cow giving 10 quarts of
milk dally will yield a net profit
of $40 a year. Ten such cows will
produce a clear profit of $400 a
year. Cows giving more milk
produce an even larger return.
The exact figure, of course,
will vary with local conditions,
the price ot milk, and the cost
of feed.
Many dairymen who did not
make money last year are think
ing of buying high priced cows.
In many instances they would do
better to sell their lowest produc
ers and' endeavor to raise the ef
ficiency of their better animals.
Duck hunters shot so much
lead into several Minnesota lakes
that ducks frequenting these wat
ers got lead poisoning.
