"If Bell goes i^n af* he has started," a great (lerman specialist once declar- ed, "he will inevitably prove to bo the greatest benefactor to mankii);l since the beginning of the world."

Nobody seemed to know anytliing about it. but Bell was ignored by all e.xceid a lew old friends, and henceforth he devoted his attention to criminology and the evolution of crime. It was Bell's boast that he could take a dozen men at haphazard and give you their vices and virtues fJoint-blank. He had a marvellous gift that wa.v. .\ few people stuck to him, Cilead CJates amongst the number. The millionaire philanthropist had need of someone to pick the sheep from the goats, and Hell made no mistakes. David Steel had been able to do the specialist some slight service a year or two before, and Hell had been pleased to magnify this into a great favor. "You are a fast said, pri-.-^enf ly.

But I did not gather from your chat with Miss (iates what your trouble was." "Perhajis not, but Miss Gates knew perfectly well." Bell flatted his companion, ap- firovingly.

It all resolved itself round the .synopis of a proposed new story of mine. Hut I had liettor go into details." David proceeded to do so.

David pulled up and regarded his companion with, amazement. "How on earth â€" " he gasped. "Do ycm mean to say that you know â€" " "Nothing at present. I assure you," Bell Kuid, coolly. "Call it intui- tion, if you like. 1 (irei'er lo call it the result of logical mental pro- cess. I'm right, of course?" "Of course you are. I'd claimed that cn.se for my own.

And then Mariey tells me how I paid Mo.s.s-a nearly Jiil,tJOI); how the mon- ey must have come into uiy- hand.-. in the nick of time. 'I'hat was pret- ty bad when 1 couldn't lor the life of me give a lucid reason for the pos.se.ssion of those notes; but there was worse to come. In the pocket of the injured man was a receipt for a diamond-studded, gun-metal cigar- cn.se, iiurcha.sed the day of the out- rage. .And Walen, the jeweller, prov- ed be.vond a doubt that the case I claimed was purches\3d at his shop." Hell nodded gravelj'. "Which places you in an exceeding- ly awkward position," he said. ".A mild way of putting it," Wavid replied. "If that fellow dies the police have enough evidence to hang me. And what is my defence? The story of my vi;!it to No. 219. And who would believe that cock-aiwl-buU story? Famty a drama like that be- ing played out in the house of such a jiillar of respectability as Gilead dates." "It ir.n't his house," said Bell. "ITo only takes it furnished." "In an.vbofly else your remark would he puerile," David said, irritably. "lL'.s a deeper remark than you are aware of al present," Bell replied. "I quite .see your position. Nobody Would believe you, of course. But why not go lo the post-ullice ajid ask the number of the telephone that called you up from London?" The ([iiestion s-eemed to amuse Dav- id slightly. Then his lips were drawn iiumorously. "When my logical formula came back I thought of that," he said. "On inquiring as to wliom it was who rang me up on that fateful oc- casion T learnt that the number was 0017 Kensington and that " "Gates's own niiiidier at Prince's Gate," Bell exclaimed. "The plot thickens." (To bo Continued.) WHEN A ROWBOAT UPSETS. How Best to Keep Yourself Afloat Till Saved. It you are in a rowboat and it; overturns, when you come to th'ei' surface and, have yourself comfortably. settl<;d in the water, look about for the upturned boat or an oar, and if ihe closer of t he two is not far away you can umloubteilly cover the disi- tnnce by using jour hands aud by kicking gentl.v with your legs, after altcriiatelj- drawing them up about twice as mucli as for treading. If .vou reach an oar, grasp it with your hands, idaced about three feet afiart. Then. just as if you were working pulleys in your room, alter- nately shove the oar in front of you at arm's length and pull it back to your chin. If your luii^ power is good and you observe the rule to breathe deeply and exhale scantily, you can easily keep afloat 2U minu- tes. Help out your hands by using your legs the best you know how; and religiously keep out of a stand- ing position. By all means give the lungs opportunity to "take hold" in tlie water; in other words, to per- form their work freely. A capsi/ed rowboat is ordinarily a splendid buoy. If you reach it, all you have to do to keep afloat in- definitely is to , touch il with your hands. It is not necessary for you to try to scramble upon it. In tho eflort' you may send it away from you, or relea.se the air caught in it when it capsized, and thus cause it to .sink. The safer plan is simply to ivst your hands on it. But if you were in a sloop or any sort of craft with rigging, keep away from the boat. If the sloop ca,l>- -sizes, your Jirst move should be to get clear of the rigging, and after that to stay clear of it. I have known manj- a good swimmer to drown .simply because he got foul oJ' a boat's gear. Trust to your ef- forts alone; jou will be in far less peril i AFRICAN SNAKESTONE. Natives Persist in the Belief That It Absorbs Poison. .South Africans, as a rule, trouble them.selves but little about ssnakes, although it is very well known that a few I'arielies are particularly dead- , ly. Among the natives the profjertics of the "snakestone" have for many generations formed a centre of half superstitious credulity, and even by people who might be expected to jknow better, have been supposed to elTect the most surjirising cure« of snakebite. An investigation of its properties by tho goveiTunent bacter- jiologisls of '^atal, who submit'ted I an Indian snakesitone to the test of ia|Jii|ying it to animals infected with I snake venom, has shown conclusively that its projierties are quite mythical and that it does nothing that is •claimed for it. \ Accor<ling to tradition the snake- stone, which has absorheul iiualities and which there is some reason to i believe is freiiuently artificially jire- ( pariHl, is plMCed on tho woiincl inflict- j ed by the snake. There it is believ- I ed to suck out the [)oi.son. an<l has jbeen said that if afterward placed in a Ijowl of milk the venom will ex- ' ude and fhe milk turn blue. In certain e.vperlments narrated in I The British Medical .loiirnal, all I these directions wen- fiiilowcil. To Ithe two rabbits injected, ivspet-tively jwith the venon; of a black maiiiba, a 'very deadly .South African coulbrine. land with pu!T adder venom, the snakesrt(<nes was at once applieti. The stone, by virtue of its absorbent na- itiire. ailhered to the wound, but hero it.'« adherence to tradition end- led Both rabbits died, and. what was more disappoint intr. two other rabbits, used as a "control experi- ment." v\ hich were in.iected with the same amount of venom, recovered. Nor when the stcmo was plnoed in iiiilk ditl the milk I'.iange color, j 1 liouirh :i slight ipmntity of it was absorbed. The amount of .Tbsoiption that the i stone could possibly elicit voiild hi' no more in lioiirs than ordinary suc- tion by th" lips could achieve in a few minutes, and its onl.v possible usefulness might be that of improv- in.' the [ilivsicai condition of the pa- tii^nt by impressing him with the ba- lioi that II valuable remed.v was be- ing at plied.
