TITE PLAtD SUIT OF Cr.OTIIF.9. Mr. Mitciici readied ids home that night In safety, his presence on tlie boat having apparently escaped tlio notice of any of the crooks. On the following morning, precisely at the hour appointed. Mr. Barnes was announced and ushered in. "All! Good morning, Mr. Barnes," said Mr. Mitchel. "I hope you have not overworked yourself on tills case of yours. Feeling well tills morniug?" "Quite well, I thank you." was the rejoinder. "Why do you ask?" "Oil, I did not know hut that you had been up all night watching somebody. Mr. BnAes, I have often admired the patience of detectives when 1 have rend of one of them sitting all night watching a doorway through which he had seen a criminal pass. The fact that the criminal seldom comes out again does not seem to deter him at ail. He'watches on and hopes for the best. Some day a criminal may come back and he caught. Who knows? Thatsort of thing always makes me think of our cat. Itcuius Is his name, and he Is truly a wonderful fellow in many ways, only lie has that Inevitable failing of ids kind?lie must watch some thing- I suppose he feels it a sort of duty in repayment for ids food and lodging. The tirst night on which he came to us lie caught a mouse, and while he was playing with it the little creature escaped and ran Into my Wife's slipper, from which hiding place Master Remus soon dislodged hlin. But do you know whenever that cut seesi that slipper lying about he sits down and watches it! It is really very amus*1 ing. Come up some night when my; Wife is nt home, and I will have Remus go through Ids performance for you It might prove a useful object lesson." "I have listened patiently to your (hading, Mr. Mitchel," said Mr. Barnes, with becoming dlgnl'y. "and 1 should he pleased to have you tell uie why you have spoken thus. What have 1 done to deserve it?" "You had me spied upon," answered Mr. Mitchel sharply. "Yon nro mlatnkAn " enl/l \f*? ? .?V ouiu .*11. Dil I !? * quietly. "Do you menu to deny that one of your men followed mo about yesterday?" "'No, but It was not at my Instigation." "Then why wns It done?" "lie knew you. and, seeing you In the company of one of the shrewdest bunko men In town, he thought ft best to keep yon both In sight." "Dear me! So your man thought that Lcroy Mltchel Is not cnpublc ol protecting himself In New York cltyl We will let that pass then. But now tell me why you followed me personally last night" "Ilorw do you know that I did?" "That Is not answering my question." "Well, Mr- Mltchel, while I certainly think you capable of taking care of yourself, from what my man told mo 1 I concluded tliat you meant to accompany Slippery Snm on last night's ex- < curslon. Not having the same coufl- * dence in tlint i>erson which you see hum I < .to have, 1 thought that as your friend < it wns in)' duty to be on hand in case of trouble. Uut I was uot spying upon < you." , i "So you eveu went so far as to dls- 1 guise yourself as a waiter and serve 1 beer to a lot of crooks. Just to be uear 1 me? I am truly Indebted to you. ltut 1 1 do not admire this masquerading. It * is too theatrical. It savors too much * of the dime novel detective. And I suppose, of course, you had to bribe one of the regular waiters, who al- 1 lowed you to take Ids place, eli?" ' "Not exactly," said Mr. Barnes hesitatingly, somewhat aba-ned by the 1 criticism upon Ids methods; "but, Mr. Mitcliel, we cannot always choose. I ' have known of the uses to which this I boat lias been put all summer, and 1 i realized that it would be wise nud 1 might become of extreme importance 1 to me to have It In my power to ue on board at any time. 1 therefore ar- 1 ranged matters with the head waiter and have played waiter on that boat so often that now my presence attracts ' no suspicion." 1 "That is Just the conceit common to < all of your profession. Your disguises are never penetrnted. You are like tlie 1 ostrich witii his head In the sand, In- ! visible?in your own mind. Now, the ' fact Is your Identity was very well < known on the boat last nlglit." "Indeed! flow do you know that?" "The lecturer of the evening was i talking to me about you. lie considers von rather clever, lint ovnrr>s?n?l hla ' surprise that you should stoop to such i nntlquated methods as the employment < of spies. lie says that If he were lu I your place he would use his brains In- ' stead." "Then he would accomplish little, for i he has no brains." Mr. Barnes spoke ' angrily, for he had begun to lose pa- 1 tleuce. He thought that Mr. Mitchcl 1 went too far In his adverse criticisms, and In this perhaps he was right. But ' the truth was Mr. Mitclicl was ox- ! ccsslvely annoyed, not so much because I a spy had followed him. but because for the flrst time in his experience he ' had not himself discovered the fact. 1 lie had therefore given vent to his feel- ' Ings by resorting to satire. * Mr. Mltchel had decided that Preach- 1 er Jim was possessed of quite a supe- 1 rlor quality of brains, and consequent- ly he was attracted by Mr. Barnes' ( words, well knowing that they were 1 not Idly spoken. ^ "What do you mean by that?" said ? he. "The man Is a monomaniac," Mr. I Barnes replied. * "On what subject?" "Oh, on the subject of last night's 1 lecture! I know his history very well, r having observed him for many years. 1 One of his delusions is that he Is him- 1 self a great criminal. If you could get 1 him to talk with you, he would uu- ' doubtedly lead you to suppose that he { has committed many crimes and that ' through his marvelous skill he lias not only escaped arrest, but has even avoided suspicion." "But Is not this true?" "True as to his keeping out of the clutches of the law, but that has not 1 required any skill. lie has committed " no crimes since he left the reforma- J1 tory, and he entered that place when n child. The man Is not sound here." eon eluded Mr. Barnes, tapping his forehead significantly. "He does not Impress me as being unsound mentally," said Mr. Mltcbel doubtlngly. "Very likely not at a single Interview. Perhaps Indeed you may even e have concluded that he Is endowed j with unusual intelligence. But sup- ^ pose that you were to meet him again l and that his conversation should be 1 substantially the same nnd that at l many subsequent Interviews with you f he should always descant upon the t same topics In much the same words! t Such has been my experience, and I < am satisfied that his apparent brllllan- * cy Is really lustcrless. As 1 said at ?. first, he is a monomaniac." j "Nevertheless, Mr. Barnes, he has < proved the fallacy of one of your favorite theories with scarcely an effort I of his feeble brain." ' "What theory?" " "You argued that the theft of the will 13 good evidence against young Morn; that the will would be useful to hlin. because Its suppression would a double his fortune." s "I did. nnd my opinion remalrs un- ^ altered." "Very good. But let me give you ( Preacher Jim's Idea?the Idea, let us say, of a practical crook opposed to * the theory of a skillful detective. That 1 should be Interesting, should It not? a Wftll tliAn oitv\tv/v<iA - ? ? ?' 1UVU! nu[f|Kl^u mill JIII.V IU1IU? v thnt la, any man except the son?knew * of this will and flrat stole the docu* * mcnt and then murdered oul Mr. Morn a to make It operative.

Well, It Is precisely the sort of p thing that a crazy man would work b out, hot which no sane man would h either formulate or carry Into efTect. c But, considering It for a moment as ^ among the possibilities, It Is easily de- y mnlUl.o.l i\ I * ? ' " hvumhw "u iucui/ in WS vuuie WU1CQ IB j not substantiated by collateral clrcura- h stances. Now, there are no fActa to fit v the supposition of a murderer from h without, while the chnlu of evidence which encircles the son Is almost com- ^ pleto. Hut, since you have been dls- c euswlug this case with Preacher Jim, K I>erhaps you spoke to litm about the n plaid suit of clothes. What are bis t views In that direction?" 1 "There he agrees with you?that Is * to aay. ha the murderer , wore them goiug In, as well as coming nut, ami that young Mora's suggestion that they were taken from his room to cover the l?loo?l stained clothes nf the Intruder Is untenable." "Thus, you see, he advances contra- d llctory theories which substantiate ji mine as to his lusauity. At one mo- p meut he thinks an outsider came in t ind killed the old man to get the will iud use It against the son, and in the next breath he nrgues that the murierer wore the plaid suit, in which rase the son must be the guilty party. 0 So, you see. Mr. Mitcliel, 1 fear you p wasted your evening?that is, if you p went aboard that boat with any idea nf probing this mystery." "Which, of course, I did not," interrupted Mr. Mitcliel. "Well, anyway 1 have to report that II. t did not waste my day. What would ' trnn en v Mn 1 ' f tuaivnvi, ^ VI V & IU It'll foil that 1 have fountl that plaid suit 11 nnd that It is at present lu my posses?iou t" "I should say that you are a very ,j clever man unless"? I ''Unless what?" (l "Unless some one found the tilings n nnd brought tlietn to you. That was a possibility prophesied by Preacher Jim." "Oh, indeed! Hut lie probably meant <( the regular police. 1 do not have im- q porta nt clews and evidence thrust , upon me in that manner. No; 1 dis- , covered these tilings by the system ,| which you deprecate?by spying." "This is becoming interesting. Give me the details." ' I am to understand, then, that you will work with me on the case? You '< isked for 24 hours in which to con- <> iidcr the matter, but you have not tl 5lven me your decision. You have spout the last half hour chatting me." 7 "Oh, 1 meant no offense! Surely pou have taken none. There's my liand. Yes, 1 will study out this problem with you, but I stipulate for t] perfect liberty to proceed as 1 please." t "Very good. Then I will relate what r| lias happeued since we parted. You speak sneerlugly of spies and make a plea for the use of brains alone. But ? It Is only lu fiction that a detective listens to the story of a crime and Hiids the solution without visiting the . InnalUv l.? 1+ *.? .3 >r seelug tho suspected parties. Iu *i practical experience the analytical I jvork goes hand in hand with what rou eall tlie spy system. If suspicious drcumstances point to a certain man, to watch his movements, and often we cry soon discover that he is innocent or ' rullty, especially when we can spy upon llni before he knows that ho is suspected. With that knowledge, of fourse, the criminal uses more caution. I'o my mind, it was almost a certainty t hat young Mora killed his father. 1 \ irgued that he was unaware of the L 'act that he had been oliserved l>y the1 vateliman until he heard it on the folowlng day. lie had changed his clotling because of the blood spattered up- ( >n hfln. and to offset the watchman's esiimony lie denied his first visit to he house."
