"But the thing I most want you to
do, the thing 1 most earnestly beg you
to do is to suggest how I can set about
finding this wild girl, in whose actual
person the crime' was committed.;1
beg of you' to give over these elaborate
experiments upon people who can't
have an important connection with
the crime and devote this great tnind
of yours to the apprehension of the
real criminal. If we. cangthe. girl,

ve shall get hold of her accomplice
fast enough, or, perhaps, s I should
p A, say
her principal."
The doctor smiled. "This morning
at the breakfast table," he observed,
"you were very confident' that the po-
lice would be able to get hold of her
in the course of the day. You. said a
wild creature like that couldn't remain
at liberty. 1 say it's true she couldn't."
"But," objected: Ashton, "she has."
The, doctor shrugged his shoulders
impatiently. "Why can't you be rea-
sonable ?"he asked. "If a thing's im-
possible, it can't happen, If it's true
that a wild creature can't go at large
in: this community for twenty-four
hours without being apprehended, and
if it's also' true that in twenty-four
hours no such creature has been ap-
prehended, then there' is only one log-
ical conclusion to come to `,naively,
that she has ceased to be a wild crea-
ture, gibbering in an outlandish lan-
guage, and has become a much more
inconspicuous .member of society.".
Ashton opened his eyes wide. "What
do you mean?"
"Psyshology," said, the doctor; "ho-
cus-pocus and any of your other nam-
es for it that you choose to apply.
Didn't you hear me tell Reinhardt at
the hospital that'tha' girl was in.a
hypnotic or' subjective state."
Ashton sprang to his feet. "Do you
know where she is?"he demanded.
"Or can you describe her so'that I
and my men can find her?"
"I don't know where she is at this
moment," said the doctor quietly.
'She was in this ,room half an hour
go.'
In that moment my chief had his
revenge. for all the flippancies,<tolerant
rwitll' which Ashton had belabored the
profession and science which was
dearest ° to his heart. For once the
at�ycr was beyond the power of
speeds.
Doctor too, kept silent. for a while
to let: the momentum,nature of the
astourtd}ng fact which he had just dis-
closed sink in. Then he began to ex -
lain t� the'astonish:d attorney.
"1 want you to understand very
clearly, in the' first place, that it Ilse
been by my own methods, with the
addition, I'll admit; of a little plain,
unnnerited good luck, that I've solved
his mytery. Harvey's testimony at
the inquest was ' :my .clew. In
my examination of - hint, ,which I
conducted without asking him a sing-
elquestion, without once referring
directly to the cringe that was cont-
rxrittvd. at Oak Ridge, I proved him
nnocent a convincingly as the
strongest alibi would have proved him
innocent, more convincingly, in fact,
because the real criminal in this case
could prove an alibi, too. And in my
further examination of hint 1 discov

ing her exact address, I ascertained

ordinary coincidence, could this wont -
an, with the same sort ',f profile, the
sante colored hair and the same kind
of Cloak, have been any other than the
ryne: whose hands had Strangled old
Morgan.
"The telephone conversation which
you held in my laboratory with one of
your subordinates settled her identity

her narne'was Jane Perkins and that

By that time Ashton began to come
out of his daze, had recovered again
the powers speech- and, motion,
which the astounding nature of the
doctor's revelation had temporarily
deprived him of.
"She mustn't be at barge another
minute.," he said.

got the whole story yet, and you ;may
spoil everythittgif you move without
it. The girl's part of hte crime is only
half of it, and the least important part
al. that. She was hardly more than a
passive instrument, The party you
want, the important one to get, is the
man who sent.lter on that fatal errand
to the lonely house in Oak Ridge that
night. The man you want is Josiah
Haines.”
At tlia't a smouldering spare of in
creduality in Ashton's mind was fann
ed into a flame.
"Come," he said.; "you have told me
that the wild' South Sea island girl
of this story is really Jane .Perkins;
but you aren't going' to tell me that
Josiah Haines is a submerged and sec.
ondary exterior of our friend Wilkes.
That would be drawing it a bit too
strong, wouldn't it'?"
WithoutMaking any answer,the
doctor turned back to- his instrument.

replaced upon it megaphone which
had been there during the conduct of
theexamination, and made some
trifling adjustments in the instrument.
a
And then, once more addressed the
attorney.
"You thought I was joking," he
said, "when 1 told you \Vilkins that
this instrument was aphonopneumsph-
ygmog.raph. The name, : perhaps; is
a bit clumsy. It is rather a description
of the instrument, rather than a handy
name for it. It is three instruments
in one A .phonoghraph first, by which
sounds are recorded upon a moving
cylinder in such a manner that they
can be reproduced. In exactly the
same manner the pulse of a person on
whose wrist this little instrument is
strapped is recordedin the wax of the
cylinder. Sd it is also, a recording
sphygmograph. And thirdly,` and last
of all, the elasiic strap which I fasten-
ed,around \Vilkins' chest had its two
ends connected by a little instrument
and very truly, every movement of his
respiration. Everything, . from the
most faintly drawn breath to a gasp,
will .be indicated by that little instru-
ment and recorded along with a pulse
beat on the same cylinder which re-
cords the sounds. The long thin tube
there that looks like a thermometer
will show when I start this instrument
going, exactly how the man 1 was ex-
amining breathed; when he held his
breath, when he caught it, when h,e,
expelled it. And the bulb which you
see, half filled with the red liquid, will
show you the way his heart was beat-
ing."
Ashton turned away. "It's hideous,"
he said; "it's inhuman. I can't look
at it:" and as he spoke, he walked
away to the other side of the room:
But he came back and stood beside
us when the phonograph began again
reporting the questions the doctor had,
asked the girl. about Will Harvey, and
her answers to then;:
"What's thist part, of the examinat
idn for?" Ashton asked. "You know
all about it; and . you'd sprung your
mine on Wilkins."
There's another mine of a different
sort a little further along," said the
doctor. 1 wanted to, give hint time
to recover his self-possession, to per-
suade himself that that, : too, was all
a false alarm; that my mention of the
names of. Haines and Franklin was
just a coincidence,
"You'll see," he concluded, "1 had 2
people to reckon with—himself and
yoti,°
"Me?" Ashton questioned.
"Yes, you and your incredulity. I
knew that if 1 concluded the .examina-
tion there, that long before I could
make this demonstration to you, Wil-
kins have ti made good his es-
cape; and a man like that, once he
got away, is cunning enough to be
hard to find. So I wanted not only to
calni his fears, but to provide him
with a positive incentive for staying
around."
Ashton . would have spoken, but at
that moment, with a suddenly up-
raised hand, the doctor motioned hint
to silence' and to renewed attention.
I had my eye upon the instrument
all the time thedoctor had been
talking, and lead seen that by 'now the
doctor's questions concerning Harvey
had had the effect he wanted.Wil-
kin's pulse and respiration were back
almost to normal again.
"'would ever take, us very close
to old HenryMorgan with his reaps
and his mysteries.' "
'lite' word "map" caused a throb and
a flutter both in .the tube and tiic
bulb, mach as the word "New Zealand
had done at the beginning of the ex-
amination. The recovery was imme-
diate, however, the condition hi the
tube and the bulb became more nearly
normal than it had been since the be-
ginning of the examination.
At the end of the silence, the 'phono-
graph began repotting the doctor's
apparently irrevclant aside to Ashton,
in which he had told him of the dis-
covery of the one 'queer map which
the detectives had c'fverleoked, a' large
scale neap wb"rib showed neither lat.`ie.
tore nor longitude, As he began to
talk .about it, both liaise and breath-
ing, as the instrument metaled' there,
began to toll' atiot cr story, not a
story of terror this time, but of excite-
Ment, The pulse quickened, but it
grew stronger, too, steadily stronger
and steadily more rapid, until it was
leaping like the, heart of a matt, who,
in tlie midst of battle, catches a• gleam
of victory. And the column of liquid
in the respiration tube rose clear t
the top of it, and then fell to the b
tote. The lean had been drawee ,;.+:..:
long, steady breaths of triumph.
" `--and I brought it here with inc
this morning,", the phonograph was
saying in the doctor's voice, "'and
I'll show it to you directly if you care
to look at it.'"
There was a little silence after that,
and then, still from the megaphone of
the instrument, there came another
voice, a voice which it had not -re-
corded before, the voice of Wilkins.

"Hell beback,"
said the doctor
grimly. "That map has been the focal

years, He would run a bigger risk
thanhe could possibly think lay in

it. He's on duty in the dining room

Ashton nodded. "By the way," he
said, "I'd like to see that niap. It
must be something of a curiosity."
"If you'll come : out to Oak. Ridge

"I'll take pleasure in showing it to
you. There's nothing in the envelope.
It was only necessary to make Wil-
kins think there was."
"But where's the envelope itself?".
Ashton asked. "Didn't you say it was,

"Do you remember, Phelps, whether

ventilator being foul, you glanced
in the direction of ,it?"
"Yes," I admitted I did,
"You?" questioned Ashton, turning
to the doctor.
"Oh, yes," said Doctor McAlister.
