And I couldn't make myself believe in it, so I gave it up I came back to thoughts of the practical and the material. I pon dered even more deeply than be fore. I had a genius for detection was my genius going to fall me? op l knew ft was not, but when, oh, when, would it get to burning? I remembered that Lowell had declared that Poe had two of the| prime qualities of genius—“a fac ulty of vigorous yet minute analysis and a wonderful fecundity of imagination.” | Hm, my genius should show} those two qualities also; more over, It should begin to exhibit them right away I looked around the room with @ gaze of vigorous yet minute analysis. I divided it into its #ix/ sides, I mean, the celling, floor and four walls. I reconstructed the scenes of that night. With wonder- ful fecundity of imagination, I saw Marybelle, happily writing her let- ters, confiding to her diary, laying out her riding-habit for next day, hiding her pearl necklace, locking and bolting doors and windows, and, finally, disrobing and switch ing off the electric lights, and lying down with a smiling face and anticipation of happy dreams. And then, in thru one of those six sides came the murderer, who lturned on the fateful gas and went y | | | | away as he had come. Was it thru floor, ceiling, four walls? Two walls had doors, two had windows; floor and cell- ing had no apertures. Yet thru one of the six sides of the cube the murderer had entered, and I should discover which. My problem was here—I fairly hugged it to my breast. There was no entrance, yet entrance was made. There was no | clue, yet clue should be found. Some had turned on that gas—human? Yes, I belleved it human—no ghost had wished harm tq our Marybelle. Another observation of Lowell's me to my mind, “Genius finds its expression in the establishment of a perfect mutual understanding between the worker and his material!” Ah! So? my material lay within these six plane surfaces. Betereon it and myself I must establish a perfect mutual understanding. And I did To pluck out the heart of a mys tery Is a direct statement tn form. Tut In intent, how indirect! How complicated and intricate.
