Inside and out ws went over the house for a full hour, snd then at his suggestion returned to my room where we seated ourselves, I asked him if he had discovered any- Jhing. , "Yes.- The explosion occurred at 22 minutes past three," he replied, as he blew a long cloud of smoke. I de fended that he tell me how he knew "Simply because the clock on the mantle stopped at that hour.. I gavs It a little shake when I noticed that it had stopped and it started up again as merrily as you please, so I guess the concussion Is what put it out ot business temporarily," he smiled. Sim ple and obvious as this fact had been I bad not noticed It in my7 survey of the room, and not particularly flatter ed at my own lack of discernment I agreed that hla explanation was prob ably correct He seemed to be think lng Intently for a while after that and I did not disturb him, but presently be turned to me. . ; - in getting at tbe roots of a case like this, one way of simplifying It is by the process of elimination that is to -say, by the weeding out of those persons' and circumstances which al though Immediately surrounding the affair could not In the , nature ot things be connected with it By do ing thlB you are often able to narrow the1 field of your search and thereby secure greater concentration. , I be lieve that you' can help me consider ably In this matter If you will frankly answer all questions I may ask you, feeling perfectly free to volunteer any thing that may occur to you as you proceed.

And what kind of a man does Bruce happen to be?" I hesitated, endeavoring to choose my words with circumspection before an swering a question ifrhlch embraced so msny qualifying anl modifying phases.- "Well, that Is a hard question to ' answer oft-hand. He Is a . complex proposition, you know a sort of paradox. Tou should know him thor oughly before passing Judgment But comprehensively I should say that he Is genial, generous, outspoken and' ln-,! cunea to oe recti ass along certain lines. But I never knew him to even contemplate doing a dishonest, thing and I don't believe that he erer did. The only two things that I ever knew him to do that might be criticised from a high moral atandpolnt are to occasionally take a few highballs or cocktails and to habitually speculate on 'Change. , He Is a broker, you know, and plays the game himself, like- most of the rent of them."
