Millefieur said Hugh ton, an actor, in love with Blanch, was other of his patients. ENNEDY would say no more, but I was content because I could see that he was not ready to put his theorle: whatever they were, to the final test. He spent the rest of the day work- ing at the hospital with Dr. Barron adjusting & very dlicate piece of ap- paratus down in a special room in the basement. I saw it, but I had no idea what it was or what its use might be. Close to thie wall was a stereop- ticon which shot a beam of light through a tube which I heard them refer as a galvanometer, about three feet distant. In front of this beam whirled a five-spindled wheel. governed by a chronometer, which erred only a second a day. Between the poles of the galvanometer was stretched a slender thread of fused quartz plated with silver, only one- one-thousandth of a millimeter in di- | ameter, so tenuous that it could not be seen except in a bright light. It was a thread so slender that it might have been spun by a microscopic spider. Three feet farther away was & camera with a moving film of sen- sitized material, the turning _of which was regulated by a little fly- wheel. The beam of light focused on the thread in the galvanometer passed to the photographic film, in- tercepted only by the five spindles of the wheel, which turned once a sec- ond, thus marking the picture off into exact fifths of a second. The vibrations of the microscopic quartz | thread were enormously magnified | on the sensitive film by a lens and resulted in producing a long zigzag. wavy line. The whole was shielded by a wooden hood, which permitted no light, except the slender ray, to strike it. The film revolved slowly | ross the fleld, its speed reguiated by the flywhel, and all ‘moved by an electric motor. 1 was quite surprised, then, when Kennedy told me that the final tests which he was arranging were not to be held at the hospital at all, but in his laboratory, the scene -of so many of his sclentific triumphs over the cleverest of criminals. While he and . Barron were still fussing with the machine he dispatched me on the rather ticklish errand of gathering together all those who had been at the Novella at the time and might possibly prove tmportant in the case. My first visit was to Hugh Day- ton, whom I found in his bachelor | apartment on Madison avenue, ap- parently waiting for me. One of O'Connor's men had already warned him that any attempt to evade put- ting in an appearance when he was wanted would be of no avail. He had been shadowed from the moment that it was learned that he was a | patient of Millefleur's, and had been at the Novella that fatal afternoon. He seemed to realize that escape was impossible. Dayton was one of typical young fellows, tall, sloping shoulders and a carefully ac- | quired English mannr, whom one | sees In scores on 5th avenue late in the afternoon. His face, which on the stage was forceful and attractive, wag not prepossessing at close range. Indeed, it showed too evident marks of exce: both physical and moral, and his hand was none too steady. Still, he was an interesting per sonality, if not engaging. 1 was also charged with delivering 2 note to Burke Collins at his office. The purport of it was, I knew, a request couched in language that veiled & summons that the presence both himself 1 Mre.

Kennedy adde 1 might tell him orally that he would pass over the scandal lightly as pos- sible and spare the feelings of both as much as he could. I rather relieved when this mission was ac- complished, for I had expected Col- lins to demur violently.

At last he was ready to begin. ‘The long history of science,” he began, as he emerged from behin een, “is fllled with Instance: of phenomena noted at first only for their beauty or mystery, which havi been la proved to be of great prac. ue to mankind. A new ex. the striking phenomenon of Phosphorous, discov- ered centuries ago, was fi ely a curiosity. Now it d for many practical things, and one of the latest uses is ae medicine. It is con stituent of the body, and many doc- tors believe that the lack of it causes, and that its presence will cure, many ills. But It is & wirulent and toxic drug, and no physician, except one who knows his business thoroughly, should presume to handle it. Who- ever made a practice of using it at the Novella did not know his busi- | Bl ne or he would have used it in pills instesd of in the nauseous liquid. 71t is not with phosphorized ether as a medicine that we h to deal in this case. It is with the stuff as a poison, & poison administered by a demon. Craig shot the word out sb that it had its_full effect on his little audi- ence. Then he paused, lowered his voice, and resumed on a new subject. “Up in the Washington Heights Hospital,” he went on. “is an ap- paratus which records the secrets of the human heart. This Is no figure of spéech, but a cold scientific fact. The machine records every variation of the pulsations of the heart with such exquisite accuracy that it gives Dr. Barron, who is up there now, not merely a diagram of the throbbing organ of each of you seated here in my laboratory a mile away, but a sort of moving picture of the emo- tions by which each heart here is swayed. Not only can Dr. Barron diagnose disease but he can detect love, hate. f joy. anger and re- morse. 'his machine is known as the Einthoven ‘string galvanometer, invented by that famous Dutch physi ologist of Leyden. There was a perceptible movement in our little audience at the thought that the little wires that ran back of the screen from the arms of each were connected with this uncanny in- strument o far away. “It is all done by the electric that the heart itself generates,” pu sued Kennedy, hammering home the low price of $15.
