N air of triumph was plainly dis- cernible in the “Herald” local room. It manifested itself .n the demeanor of the managing editor,” who popped in and out of his private office at frequent inter- vals to confer with Jimmy; in the rush- ing to and fro of photographers carry- ing large sheets of cardboard, whereon were spread still wet prints; in the Jack-in-the-box materialization of a smudg: ced boy from the composini room, waving a damp page proof over which Jimmy and the managing editor bent with heads that almost touched. Jimmy jerked the receiver from ths Jangling telephone at his elbow. “T don'’t care what it is!” he snapped. “Unless one of them's murdered, don't bother me. Here, Andy, take this call! Our east side man wants to unburden his mind about a kid elopement.” Peter had returned from the city hall and gone straight to his typewriter. “Got it!” he flung laconically over his shoulder to Jimmy as he passed the dosk. “I give you 20 minutes—keep ii down to three-quarters of a column,” Jimmy called after his retreating back. A copy boy stood at Peter’s elbow, seizing each page to be set into type as Peter ripped it from the carriage. When he had finished, he strolled over to the city desk, his hands in his ets. “Nobody else had got there. It's # ‘exclusive,’ all right—and it's straigh Cromwell told me with his own ruk lips that Cavanaugh's to be called in | In fact, he was waiting for him to ar- rive for a conference when I left.” “It's & pretty fair yarn,” said Jinfmy. The managing editor darted out ¢f sight again. The local room subsided to a pretense of ordinary routine. Jim- my's watch lay open on the desk, ani he consulted it at frequent intervals until a boy appeared with an armload of still sticky papers, the single red line, “Extra,” in view acress the top The city editor snatched one of the papers from beneath the boy’s arm, but his eyes continued to stray to his watca until, a quarter of an hovr later, the cries of the newsboys wore wafted up from the street below. “We bezt ’em on the street by 15 minutes!” Jimmy agnonncad in a tone of deep and almoat prayerful gratifica- | tion. oXice was by no means shared by the two men who sat ehatting in a book- lined room on the top floor of the city hall—the room which Peter had mads | f, a whistling exit not long before. ° The chat was not an ordimary chat, the two men were not-ordigary men and the byoks, for that matter, were not ordi- nary books. Several shelves were given over to volumes nearly 2 feet high, labeled with yearly dates instead of tilles and containing lists of arrests. Their size and Worn covers gave a cei- tain medieval atmosphere to a room by no means devoted to medieval con- cerns. Camberwell, head of the identifica- tion bureau, sat tilted far back in a swivel chair which squeated rhythmic- elly as he rocked to and fro. His frame was _large, but his head was set for- ward above stooping shoulders—the in- eradicable stoop of the farm boy whose strength has been early overtaxed by heavy physical labor. His hands, with toeir twisted fingers and enlarged knuckles, still bore the marks of that boyhood toil. but his eyes were the eyes of a student. Since the day when, as a lanky gouth. an idea had been born in his mind from a chance thumb mark in a farmhouse album, he had pursued that one ldea with the zeal which only the born specialist can know. He still looked like a middle-aged farmer —but he faced Dr. Cavanaugh with the unassuming equality of a fellow expert. “I'm not jumping at conclusions,” he protested. “I'm just suggesting a pos- sibility to be tested. I wouldn’t have bothered you about a mere highway bum, who wandered off into the marsh while drunk, or crept away to dic of ex- posure. There’s no doubt at all about it's being a woman.

He knew from past experience that Dr. Cavanaugh never did promise anything, but the psychi- atrist’s modesty had not shortened the long list of successful performances, some of them quoted internationally, others—and these included some of the most remarkable—known only to the families of his patients or hidden in the files of police records. Between these two—the doctor, whose heavy figure was unobtrusively clad in a suit tailored by Brooks’ Bros., whose long, pale cigars were manufactured for | him individually, according to his own | mixture, and the grizzled little man in plain clothes who swung in the bat- tered swivel chair and rolled in rapid succession a series of Bull Durham cigarettes—there existed none of the an- tagonism traditional between the police and the independent “expert.” Camberwell’s admiration for the psychologist was more than professional. He had not arrived at his present office on the top floor of the city hall tower without a great deal of incredulous and scornful opposition. He had been the first man on the coast to install and classify fingerprint re days, when criminals were identified— or more frequently weren’t—by descrip- cently he had talked, read, almost eaten and slept “forensic ballistics,” those tell- tale individual “fingerprints” left on a bullet in its passage through a gun bar- rel.

But his methods had held their own in court, and his practice of seeking the collaboraticn of Dr. Cavanaugh, whom some other members of the department ! somewhat snortingly referred to as a | “nut cracker,” had not only contributed | to the defense of his pet theories, but on more than one occasion had held him back from serious blunders. Cavanaugh's association with Cam- berwell, on the other hand, had led the psychologist to turn his wide-ranging curiosity on the problems of personal identification.

In return, he had given to the policeman, struggling through the thickets of uncharted re- search, the encouragement of his sup- port in some rather dark and stormy periods. Camberwell's admiration of talents different from his own was in- tensified by personal gratitude. “So far,” Dr. Cavanaugh reminded him gently. “You have two quite iso- lated facts to consider: A corpse that has been found and a woman that hasn’t.” “But it isn't a corpse.” Camberwell's chair squeaked with accelerated tempo. “I only wish it were.” (Copyright. 1928, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.)

TORONTO, Ontario, Octol 24.—A commission has been appointed by the North American committee on fishery the proposed essing of the tides of the Bay of Fundy to provide power. The comm! consists of the Cana- dian ty minister of fisheries, the col ner of fisheries of th: United States, Dr. H. B. Bigelow, Harvard Uni- versity, and Dr. A. G. Huntsman of the biological board of Canada. The com- mission is to report its findings to the Canadian and United States Govern-| ments. “The Cooper power project, which proposes to dam Passamaquoddy and Comstock Bays (New Brunswick) * * * threatens the most productive sardine herring fishery in the world,” said an |official statement issued by the North American committee. “The extraordi- ties of mm fishing grounds by | gion are considered due to the rich bot- tom waters being brought up to furuish a constant growth of food material for the young herring. the channels, where the mixing takes place, would so change conditions as to jeopardize the existence of a fishery yielding 100,000,000 pounds annually.” .
