TEidTALE THUM lB-PRIIT FINGER MARKS OF CALU1NALS LIFE 4ONG AIDS TO THELR 1ETECTIOI. Individual Finger Marks Permanent Through Life--Adoption of System for Identification of U. S. Soldiers and Saiiors. A few weeks ago Inspeptoi McLaughlin of the New York City De tective Bureau received remarkable ?v!dence of the value of thumb-print identifteation. A letter was brought to him through the mails from London ontainling the picture and record oi i noted criminal whose thumb-print, a-ith his name and description. was sent to London to test the efficiency of this new method of recording dis tinguishing marks of criminals. By means of the thumb-print alone. the English police identified the criminal captured by the New York police. whose record in England includes eight imprisonments on charges of larceny. The prisoner was caught by Inspector McLaughlin in the corridor of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in April. There were no charges against him in this country at the tine. but the Inspector decided that his captive was an En glish "crook." It was found that two patrons of the hotel had been robbed and the prisoner was detained for a thorough investigation of his case. Meanwhile the Inspector sent the thumb-print to London and the reply brought a photograph of the "crook" and a dupli-ate photograph of his thuinb-print and his record. THE BERTILLON SYSTEM. For some time the criminal bureaus of prominent cities have been using the Bertillon measurement system which also includes making two pho tographs of the suspicious character. but the French system and photo graphy have fallen short in many cases. as a scheming criminal can adopt various.subterfuges to cheat the law. but there is no way of changing the character of his thumb-print, for there are no two people whose thumbs are exactly alike, and each person has his own individual thumb-print whose chiracter remains, the same from the day of birth to the end. OLD AS THE HILLS. There is nothing really new in this mode of iddntification, as from time immemorial the Chinese have known MIAGNIIED T HUMPB MAR.K SHOWING the fact thamt evecry man carries on his finger-tips the proofs of his identity, and passports in the Cele~til land have cons-isted of a government stamped piece of oil paper on which the traveler has to record his digital marks bef ore setting forth on his journey.

FINGER PRINTS NEVER CHANGE. Fing~er-marks continue permnanent through life. Injuries may partially destroy them. but as the injury heals the original lines rca ssert themselves as before. In growing youth the hall of the finger enlarges: so does the pat tern, but its distinctive tracings are absolutely unchanged. whereas the Bertillon method is applienhld only to adults, when bone measuremnents have become fixed. Yet youthfal criminals. for their own sake. as well as for set's+c woerth watchine- at evryr stage of their career, and the finger print system is the only means of identilication yet devised that makes this practicable. Not only is It virtually impossible that any man's ten finger-prints, one after the other, should resemble in mere general mathematical form each of those of another main, the chance against any such coincidence being caleulited by Professor Francis Gal tOnl, the eninent anthropologist andi mathematician, as one hundred and sixty-four million against one, but it is equally impossible that any two finger-prints should be identical in every detail. 1:ecently the United States govern meiint has also adopted the thumb print system for identification of the sailors and soldiers in service, as this might become useful not only in cases of desertion. but also to more readily identify the he -es of those who have fallen on the iield of battle. SHERLOCK HOLMES. (r'ontinuerd from preeeeding pare). what I should do if some sporting kind of publisher were suddenly to stride in and make me a bid of forty shil lings or so for the lo''- When the book at list fell hito the hands of Mr. Andrew Lang. then acting for Messrs. Longians. Green & Company, the success of Micah Clarke was assured. and its author's literary career placed on a firmer footing. The "Sign of the Fouir" followed in 19Q9. in which story Sherlock IHolmes, who had made his how to the public in "A Study in Scarlet." ren)r)peared and increased Dr. Doyle's rising reputation. His he.rt. however. was in the historical novel. and in 1S9qi he followed up the success of Micah with "The White Company." in the preparation of which he rend one hundred and fifteen volumes. French and English, dealing with the fourteenth century in, England. His delight in the wotk Is expfessed ifi his own wovds: "To trilte such books." he once said, speaking of Micab Clarke and The White Company. "one must have an enthusiasm for the age about which he is *fiiting. He must think it a great one. and then he mast go de liberately to work and reconstfuet it. Then is his a splendid joY." STUMD IN SCARLVT FOR 125.00. However. Dr. Doyle may prefer to write historetil rominces. and *vhat ever his pemsonal estimate of his great detective nay be. the fact ftemAins that i She#oc1t Holmes he has crented A eiflma6teit whose exploits are as famlhir as hotihold wofds. and who has entered into the tere fibre of Aniflo-Saxon life and litefatnfe. It is aetwtilly said thit qt times Di. Doyle has expressed a wish that "r. Watson had never met Sherlock Hlolnfies. It is on record that he thought so little of "A Study In Scar let." the story in which Sherlock Holmes first appeared. that he sold it ontright for $125. The value of Oher lock Holmes has gone up since those days, howevei. Dr. Doyle acknowledges some iT debtedness to Dupin, the detective In Poe's shoit stories. "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" and "The Purloined Letter." This is the more fiitefesting for the reason that i "A Study In Seirlet." Sherlock Holines is mnade to speak rather cnitemptuously of Dupin's skill and acenmen. To diote Dr. Doyle again: "In work which don sists in the drawing of detetives theire ate only one of two quali,. which one enn use. and an author is forced to hark back upon themn edh stantly, so that every detective innst really resemble every other detec! to a greater or less extent. There is no great originality required In d& vising or constiucting such a man, and the only' possible orfigiality ihieli one can get into a story about a detec tive is in giving him original plots and probleujs to solve, as in his e' uip: ment there must be of neesssity an alert acutenless of mind to grasp '<~ and the relation which each of them bears to the other." CONSTRUCTION OF SHERLOCK. Dr. Doyle went to work. therefor'e, to build up a scientific system in -yhich everything mi;ght he logically reasoned out. Where Sherlock Holmes differed from his predecessors wr.. that he had an immense fund of exact knowledge upon which to draw, in eonsequence of his pmieiouis scientific eencation. He was practical, he was sy- ematic, lie was logical, and his success in the detection of crime was to '- i the result. not of chance or luck, but of his characteristic qualities. "With this idlea." says Dr. Doyle, "1 wrote a book on the lines I have indicated; and produced 'A Study in Scarlet.' That was the first appearance of Sher lock: hut he (lid not arrest much at tention. and no one recogniize.1 him as being anything in particular. About three years lat('r. howe r, I was asked to (do a simaill shilling book fof Lippincott's M1agazine, which pub lishes. as you know, a complete story in each number. I didn't know what to write about, aInd the thought oc curred to me. 'Why not'try to rig up the same chap again?' I did It, and the result was 'The Sign of the Four.' Aitbomgh tlie criticisms were f'-vor a ble, I don't think that even then Sher lock attractedl much attention to his inidividualityV." But this shows Mr. Doyle's modesty.

BY EWTH UvANE. "Anne! Whatever in the world-" The speaker; her fur coat white with snow, stood transfixed in the doorway. "Crocuses!" she gasped. "Crocuses in early March-with the snow outside an inen deep and more to followl Cro cuses-" Words failing her, she stepped Inside the heavy curtains and regarded the scene before her with astonished eyes. It was a pretty room and long, with a blazing fire ul pine logs at one end; a room tUIat bespuae warmth and home and comfort. Lut the newcomer saw inonc of tnese. It was the mahogany table in tne centre at which she gazed uj pnoticany, wnere masses of yellow crucuses giuwed in recKless proiusion. They raiseL trenmenuious golaen neads trom a big brass ouwi; tney nodded from long, slender vases; tney named over the edges of a pewter jug in riot uus confusion. The girl standing beside the table poked the last slender green stalk into place, and, stepping bacK, regarded her work with fine triumpn. :fne turned a fiushed face toward the doorway. The only trouole," sne saiw, impres sively, "will be to make him believe they grew." "Grew?" "Yes, grew, naturally," with a vague wave of her hand in the direction of the window and the softly whirling flakes outside. "He won't believe It." "Who won't believe It?" "He has the crocus hobby as seriously as daddy, and they kept at it until in a moment of wild enthusiasm Daddy in sisted that his crocus came up in March. Once--" apologetically-"we did have a crocus th6 last day of Mareh." "But who--" begari Dora again. "Daddy saw he doubted it, but he didn't care, for by that time he had be gun to believe it himself; so when he said he was coming to New York in March he invited him out, insisted, set the date and all.. This is the date, and," Anne dimpled, "here are the crocuses." "Anne," insisted her chum, firmly, "will you please stop saying 'he' and 'him' and tell me who and what you are talking about?" "J'ohn Rexall," essayed Anne. "The man daddy met in camp and liked so well that he chuinied with him, even though he shot more game than daddy did himself. He has money and good looks and--" - "Crocuses," suggested Dofa.. Anne dimpled again. "If only I could flake him believe they really grew!" The door at the further end of the room opened to admit a gray-haired man, rugged but kindly featured; *ho came down the room, watch in hand. Anne smiled at him across the crocuses. "You may just As well put that watch out of sight," she cried, as she placed i bowl of flowers on the piano. "No more calls to-night; Daddy, in this storm, and 'company comin',' too." Slipping her arm through her father's she led him close to the nodding blos soins. 'Pretty fine crocuses-for March," she said, her eyes danding with mischief, as she reached up and be stowed a kiss upon hin so vigorons as to leave him very little breath for pro test. Dr. Nelson pretendled great in dignation. "Tut! tut! It isn't fafr to take advantage of ari did man," he chuckled, but his eyes were full of ten derness as Anne laid her cheek softly against his. 'You remember Milligan,. the flag man?" Dr. Nelson said at last, dgain glaricing at his watch. Anne nodded. "He has been seriously hurt-is dying. I must go at once. I shall be late." "There is always somebody-" be gan Anne. "Exactly!" Dr.. Nelson thrust his watch back into his nocket and siniled at het disappoirited face. "txplaini it to Johii Reiall, drd tak~e good care of himh. With hinm to look after you 1 shall not wof'ry as to your safety." And with a quick goodby he wa~s gone. The souihd of hls departing horses' hoofs had hardly died away wheni Jolin son alipeared with a. telegram. 'For de doctih; Miss Anne," he an nounced. Anne took the enivelope fromz the ouit stretched tray and opened it. "Whom is it from?" queried Dora. Anne twisted the missive into a, little yellow ball and threiv it deflantly' among the crocuses. "It is from Mr. John liall," s'he ani. swered, with as much inidignation as if that young man had Just been con vieted of some heinous crime, "and it says that great and august personage is delayed by the storrn aid will not be here tornight." "And ycdu will b e fet atori--4 "There are the servants. I dd ifat mind;" returned Anne. "Bsut this house is so isolated and the grounds so large," Dora deliber-ated. "I will send Tom over to stay with idti;" she announced; with the relief of offe who has solved a knotty problemn. Anne protested, faintly.. "Yes, I will;" Dora insisted. "He is only _eighteen, buj he Will be company." "Of course I snhould like it," agreed Anne. Dora sweht a parting glande dvel the room. On every side flowers- gleafled in yellow splenldor; "When I consider, these "7asted March crocuses,'" began Dora. Anegiggled. "And the florist's bill At this bofa gave way and relapsed into a helpless fit of laughter, whefe upon Anne laughed, too, half hysterical ly, helpless to stop herself-laughed un til the crocuses shook in their tall vasee -and both girls sank into chairs, laugh ing and breathless. "It's a judgment-because I nanted him to believe-they grew," cried Anne, wiping hef~ eyes. An hour later Anne descended the wide, open staircase. Her trailing gown hung in soft, straight lines; a row of ttiy pearls clasped .her throda' somne cefocuses 'Wete tucked irr ifef beit, arfd one crocus niestled in lier hair. At the bottom sten Johnsoft waited. "Gentleman to see you, Miss Anne. I done put him iri de flbi'ary." "What is his naine?" "I disremembered to ask hir fifs riame. He said yo' all was eipetirf' hin." Her face cleared; Tom;, of datirse. Only the fireligit Ilhumiriated tlie fi6 brary, casting meiker ing, ruddy- rays upon the sleender figuie that camne sliow ly toward the centre ot the room;. a very sweet and attractive figure, irideed,. it seemed to the eyes of the man standing waiting in the shadow. Nearer anrd nearer she came, drid the man stenped forward, offering his hand in earn, pleasant greeting, and their stood spell bourd. A visioni in soft shimmering white pressed close to his side-his hand, his arm, was gra~ped in a warm thotih mimnistakable hng. "Yoti were a dear, good boy to come." the vision said. "I-" he began helplessly. The next "?!oment an embarrassed young man faced an eqiually em~bar i'assed young woman with crimson cheeks and indignant eyes. "Why didn't you speak ?" slfe de nianded Wrathfully. "I thought it was Torn." She stopped in a vain search for words with which to annihilate this presuming interloper. "You know I thought you were Tom," she added in dignantly. "Would that I were," fervenitly thought the new comner. Curriosity tempered the wrath 2n Anne's eyes as she nfalsed~ them to the face ave her. The face of a. gentle man, evidently-and ext:-emeiy good to look at. Just now amt:senunt strug gled with admiration ii: the clear-cut features, as he stepped forward aiid again held out his hand. "Please forgive me," he began, quite as contritely as if he 2eally were to blame. "I did not know-it was so insufferably stupid of me- He stopped. (*You are altogether charm ing," said his eyes.) Anne's face softened. "1 am sure Dr. Nelson will intercede for me," he went on, pursuing his ad vantage. Anne smiled. "Dr. Nelson is not at home. I am his daughter," sht said simply. "Then we are already old -friends." declared the man eagt-r.y. "In camp last September your fa:.her-but 1irstI allow me to present mys.lf. I am "Mistah Rexall," announced Johnson, at the library door, bow. ng pompos1"ly as he held aside the hanings t, admit a slender, dark-eyed nai. who ad vanced a step into the oiom and then stood uncertainly in the dim light. The surprise on Anne's face was equaled by that of the man beside her. He turned with a quick start, glanced sharply at the newcomEr, then stood motionless in the shadow. With a most unreasorable sense of disappointment Anne advanced to wel come the new arrival. "Father will be delighted. He has counted so on your con.ing-we were quite distressed over your telegram. So glad you managed to get here after all." She forced herself to the usual conventionalities. So this was John Rexall. this man whom she instinctively dreaded-per haps it was the flickering firelight that g-ve that shifting gleam to his eyes. She touched a bell. ",a light, John soh," she commanded, half nervously. "Mr. Rexall, allow me t: present-" Her words trailed off in-o amazed si lence. The room behind her was empty. A door closing softly at th e further end where the erstwhile admi:'er had gone. * 8, * * * * One o'clock chimed th? tiny time piece on the mantel. Out:side the sound was repeated somewherm in the dis tance to graver, deeper tones. - Anne shivered. Two hours had passed since the household had settled into silence. but so far no sleep had come to her eyes. She had not even :ndressed, but still sat upon the hearth rug in front of the fire in her cozy bed:'oom, staring into the glowing coals. It was dreary waiting, but some vague fear had kept her awake, hop ing nervously for her falier's return, listening anxiously for the first sound of his horses' hoofbeats on the gravel t,tside. Indeed, if he (id not come soon she had the horritle conviction that she would scream. In vain she tried to reason it away, sitting, her face in her hands, her eyes on the clear glowing coals. What matter If she in stinctively distrusted the man her fa ther had found companicnable? Was that such ai extriordinary thing? What if the man she had found con genial-"for you know y'ou did like him," she said to herself, "even if you did-" Here her cheeks supported by the slim hands grew unaccountably hot. What if this man had chosen to take his departure suddenly? Was that so strange? Ie had come to see her father, and she herself told him that her father was ,ot at home. But reason as she migh:, the vague misgiVing remained. At the sound of the clock she shivered slightly, and getting up fr'm her lowly. position she drew back the curtains of her Wifidow. . The storm had ceased, and the snow lay lightly or. bran!ch and wall; the itight was brillian: with moon light, clear as day, full of hallowed softness. She stood for a while, spDelbound by the glory of the scene before her, then turned again towar'd,,th3 fire. The crocuses she had worn thir t evening in et belt, riow lying 'wilted on her dress ing table, caught her eye. "I forgot to look at the floweis--f the fre dies down the lbrat'y will be too ccld for them. I will attend themn now; anything Is better than waiting here.". She left her room and walked swiftly long the hall, her soft slippers making no sound on the floor. As she reached the stalircase a little sensation of fear ran through her; she latened her footsteps and ran hurried ly along .the lower hall, whiich was al most as light as day. It was the eerie time of 'night. Not until sae was close to the library did she notice .a tiny geanof light creeping f:'om beneath '4Johnson has left i light for daddy," shfe +hought, going steadily on and de didedly cheered by the thought that alod did not await her. Pushing open the door very gently, she entered the room. At first the light dazzle'i her sight. She advanced a few steps, 2nconscious y treading lightly, as she had done all glong, lest she N'ould wakte sorfie mern ber of the hotisehold, and then, pass, ing her hatid over her eyes. looked leis urely up. The fire was nearly out. She turned, her head, and then-then-she uttered a faint scream and grasped the back of a~ chair, to steady herself.

Facing her, beside a window, from whose curtained recesses he had evi dently just stepped, covering the other with the point of a gleaming pistol-bar rel, stood her nameless cavalier of the early evening. His eyes, bright and steady, were immovably fastened on the man before him. "Hands up!" he said. An inarticulate sound came from the other man's throat; his face grew livid. He lluing up his hands, palm outward. "Who the devil are you?" he cried, be neLth his teeth. His eyes were rixed with deadly hatred upon his foe. For a momenit no sound but that of the falling embers of the dying fire dis turbed the stillness that reigned within the library. Anne stood motionless, her heart thumping wildly, wondering what the end would be. Then, suddenly the sia lence was broken by the distant sound of horses' roofs coming nearer. A noise of wheels on the gravel outside, a quick-spoken order to the driver, and some one came along the porch. through the hall and into the room. Anne gave a quick little cry of relief and joy. "Daddy!" she cried. He stopped in amazement, looking from the men to Anne, and then from Anne back to the men. The nameless one did not relax his vigil. He was rather pale, but perfectly self-possessed, and kept his eyes on the man before him, but at Anne's glad cry of "Dad dy!" a slight smile crossed his face. Then suddenly, unexpectedly, across the grim <quiet of that awful silence came an unmistakable chuckle, and the doctor's voice: "Nothing surprising, Rexall, I warned you things were pretty lively here-in March." The day, begun so strenuously, was fast drawing to an end. The shadows closed softly in on the white world out side; inside the bright light of the great pine fire streamed chee7ily over the room. Anne tucked herself comfortably in one corner of the huge Daventort. "If this thing keeps up much longer," she announced, dramaticilly, "I shall lose my voice." "As bad as that?" laughed John Rex all. "Every bit. This last harrowing re cital to Tom makes the third since luncheon.. "I can understand," she went on, re flectively, "that that man might have gotten hold of your telegram in some way, either at the station or on the road, and so discbovered that you were expected and delayed, and in tiat way conceived the Idea of Impersonatig you. That part is clear enough. But what I cannot understand is how he knew we did not know you by sight." "His face was familiar. .I have seen him somewhere before. Probably he was hanging ardund the camp last fall; and judged I would know only 'the doc tor. He had to take some risks-prob ably conceived the whole idea at once when he saw the doctor leave. Sort of 'spontaneous inspiration.' as it were." "His weak point was in not knowing you had come." "He did not know it at first. I fancy he had a fairly clear idea bf Iny pres ense later in the game." "But is he " "Never mind him now," he pleaded. "By your own statement you are in danger of losing your voice over him; and I want you to save your voice," he continued, softly, "for better pur poses." Anne looked up at him. "Yes?" she queried. "I want you to save it to talk to me to promise me something," he went on, earnestly. A wave of delicate color dyed Anne's face from brow to chin. Her eyes fell before his. "To let me knoiw you better-to write to me. Then, perhaps, next year, when the crocuses come again, you'll promise me more-when you know me." His face was very grave, "Well, perhaps,"--Anne's dimples showed in sudden mischief-"in March," she added, "when the crocuses coime in March-agaln."-The Star.
