DETECTIVE ZAMBRAS STORY. 0a a certain morning recently I had ju.-it set my people their allotted tusks for the day w hen the telephone bell in my private room sounded. Placing my ear to the instrument I received the usual query, 'Are you Zimhra's?" "Yes," 1 replied. "Who are you T Burt's, 2aeen Victoria street," the an sa er came. 'Mr. Burt wishes to see Mr. ZiOibia at once, if he is disengaged." "You are speaking to Mr. Zitnbra," I replied; "1 will come on immediately." In ten minutes a quick, hansome de posited meat the door of the millionaire financier. I knew John Burt well by repute, Mr. Burt was a sell made man, and he had made himself so it was whispered about in the city to a great extent at other people's expense. In early life he had gone out to Asia Minor, where, after working in an oil factory for years, he had taken to prospecting for oil on his own account, Biht and left he "struck" it, but, being a shrewd man, possessed cf enough technical knowlrJe to be aware that the mineral fluid often dries upas rapidly as it is found, he did not run his oil wells himself. The first one he di?posed of to a small company with such success that he came t) F.ngkcd, and he settled down in the city as a professional promoter of oil companies. Whatever mi'ht be the ulti mate fate of the schemes fetarted, John Burt himself throve and prospered until he was accounted the richest man in the city. Through retaining tho management of the companies in his own hands, he knew just when to buy or sell the ahars and it w as notorious that it was rather from his share dealings and speculations than from bona fide profit on oil that he had amassed his wealth. The millionaire's oflices were on the top flijor of one of those huge caravansa ries near the Man-ion House, which are let out in flats. Thinking it proaUe that Mr. Burt might not wish my identity to be disclos ed to Lis employees I sent in my card sealed np in an envelope. The clerk whq took it, returned itnmediarely and led me through the line of desks to a door opening into an inner room, where a gen tleman sat writing. For a moment I imagined myself to be in the presence Mr. Burt, but a second glance, and the clerk's uninterrupted pro gress toward a further door at the other end of the room, told me that I had not yet reached the sanctum. Following my guide across the ante chamber, without attracting more than a careless look from its tenant, a gray hair ed, rather bulky roan of sixty, I was Anal ly ushered through a green baiae door into the smallest and coaiejt room of the suite. The short, pursy, warm looking indi vidual who rosa to greet me was familiar enough. I had seen John Burt many times and in many places, but I bal ney er seen himl.lookiog quite as he looked to-day. His usually florid complexion was mottled and flabby, and his haggard eyes suggested a series of sleepless nights. "Sit down, Mr. Ztmbra, sit down," he said in a voice wnich trembled with nervous excitement. "I am pleased to make your acquaintance, apart from the matter in hand. Tell me," he went on, with startling abruptness, "do yon be lieve in thought reading ?" "If your question has any bearing on the business upn which you wish me to advise you, it would be better if yoa gave me the partu ulnrs Crst," I said. "Perhaps you are right," he said. "Well, it is like ihis ; As yoa are aware, I am largely interested in a number of oij companies carry in; on operations in sialic Turkey. I make a good deal of money by buying and aeliing shares of these companies in a speculative way for the rise or fa'.L For instance, if I get a cable from one of my local managers to the effect that a good output may be ex pected for a cerUin company, I buy those t harts on the Stock Exchange. If, on tbe other hand, I hear that a poor rtturn is to follow by next mail, I sell the shares instead. You follow me so far ?" "Perfectly." "Well the trouble about which I want to consult you is this: For the last two months my private information has been got at and made Use of to such an extent that the value to myself has been large ly discounted in some cases nullified al together. One of the cleanest cliques in Chapel Court is either regularly forestal ling every move I contemplate, or is act ing simultaneously on identical lines in Bnch large amounts that the cream of my market is stolen ; and, in fact, if it goes on I may as well shut np shop for good and all." "Am I to understand that yoq confide this information to no one?" I asked. "Not a living oul," replied Mr, Burt. "What is to hinder some person in the telegraph office from using the cabled news for his own messages?" "The messages are received in cipher. I alone possess the key,r aaid the troub led millionaire. "Mon'teven use one of the ordinary commercial codes. My daughter, who is clever at that sort of thing, made special one for me, and I keep it secret from every one, even from my trusted confidential manager in tbe set ESTABLISHED 1827. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1. 1893. next room there." "So far there appears to be only one solution," I replied. "Some one mast be getting access to both the code and tbe cipher messages. Where do yon keep them V "That is the strange part of it," said Mr. Burt. "The cipher code is alwavs kept in the top drawer of this writing table ; but since this mystery has been going on I have varied the whereabouts of the messages. I used to keep them in the drawer here with the code: but when I found that the contents were be ing acted on I took to carrying them about my person, only to diveet myself of them in my bedroom at my place at Sydenham at night. This made no dif ference my sex rets leaked out just the same so I have during the past few days gon back to the old plan of keeping them in this drawer, which, a-s you Bee, has a patent lock." "And you have reason to believe that since going back to the old plan your papers have again been tampered with T' I asked. "Oaly two days ago a cable reached me from the wells at Takn about noon advising me of a had mouth's taking. I could not go around to my broker's at once, as I was due at a meeting, but I went the moment I was free. It was too late. The clique I told you of had been before hand with me, and the shares were down to such a price that it would not pay me to sell. It's sickening, that's what it is," sighed the financier, passing his hands through his scanty auburn hair. "But look here, Zambna," he continu ed, waxing friendly in his distress, "you ought to be able to spot them to-day. I had another wire from our man at Taku this morning saying that he has a splend id find of a fresh well on his company's property. I have purposely abstained from endeavoring to buy a single share yet, so that you may have your chance to put your hands on the foiestallers. Will you try ?'' ' Certainly," I said ; "where is the ca blein the drawer?" "Yes," replied Mr. Burt, unlocking the receptacle and showing tue the flimsy paper; "there it has been since I received it an hour ago. I've not left the room, so no one can have seen it yet." "About this manager of yours ; has he access to this room while you are out?'' "vo, I lock the cotnmunxating door on leaving, also with a paient key, and he has instructions to remain there al ways during my absence. B-sides I trust Johnson." "tiuite so; but confidential eervants have a way of getting, too confidential sometimes. He might, duplicate the keys." ': "He might, but I doubt it. His inter ests are entirely my interests. Again, how could he Lave got at the telegrams when I carried the-?- about with cne and ket. t them in my bedroom in the niB'ht V "Wei!, you can't expect a detective to believe in the supernatural, and it is cer Uin that, if not Mr. Johnson, so.-ne per son has aglitnpie of those telegrams, eiiher before or after their delivery to you. By the way, yon, mentioned what is termed thooht reading. What put that in your heal'?'1 "iiy daughter U a great believer in it. She is a faqatic on tbe subject, though perhaps there is a reason." "Miss Burt is in the outer o(Ii:e, sir, and wauts to see yoa." "Show her in," said the financier ; then, turning to me, h.9 hurriedly whispered, "!ot word of your errand here. She knows nothing of my worry." There was a light step and the rustle of a dress in the ant) room, and a tall girl of twenty entered. The million aire's daughter had fine eyes and pretty chestnut hair, but her manner was rath er boisterous nervously no, I thought. "Now, papa," she be,an, without so much as bestowing a glane on me, "put away all that horrid work and take me to the horticultural exhibition." "Impossible, my dear child," replied Mr. Burt "I have heaps to do here, and at two o'clock I have to attend a meet ing of the Paraffin Trust at the Cannon street hotel. Can't yoa gst the Piymp tomsto take yoa?'1 The young lady male a pretty little display cf fil al disappointment, but bowed to the inevitable. "I suppose I mast if you can't or won't come," she replied. "What a nuisance these meetings are! Why, yoa have had two this we?k already." "Yes, and I have another to-morrow. This is a busy time, Trix, and am obliged to keep hard at it." "Ile!i;ve yon are making more mon ey than is good for yoa," said the girl, flippantly, as she rose to g. "Whit tiiUj4 did you say your meeting at -the hotel was to be ?" "Two o'clc' It." "-nd it will last?" A couple of hours." "It is no use my waiting for you then. Goodbye till dinner time," aad with a wave of the hand Miss Bart left us. "It was the young lady who had just been here who suggested the idea cf thought-reading as a solution of this mys tery?" I asked. "Xo, not in connection with this affair, but generally. Yoasee, she is almost a child has no mother, poor thing, and about six months ago she mil a young fellow who gives thought-reading enter tainments Bertram Sjlvyn is his name. I dare say yoa have heard of him. Well, Trixie and this man got very thick. He was after her money, no doabt, and I had to nip it in the bud. She took it quietly enough, but she is always telli ng me that Sjlvya revealed a lot about thought-reading, and that there are lots of people about who cin spot what one is thinking jost by looking at ona. I don't really imagine for a m n;ut any oai is getting at me that way, do yoa?" "Indeed, I don't," I sii I. "Mi?s Bart, then, knows nothing of your present trouble, but merely talks about thought reading casually, ad so inspired the pas sing fear? Well," I went on, as Mr. Bart nodded, "I think I can manage this matter for yoa. It is now twelve o'clock. I will just raa back to my office for some thing I require if yoa will kindly wait till I return. I will release yoa in plenty of time for your meeting." When I re-entered the private room, after half an hour's absence, I brought with me a sin oil photographic camera of my own invention. It was fashioned in the form of a carriage clock, for which any ordinary observer would have taken it; but it was fitted wit a'powerfal lens and an instantaneous shutter, which could be worked automatically from a dis tance by means of an electric wire. I don'talways let my clients into my se crets at the outset of a case, and I thought it best for the camera to remain a clock in Burt's eyes. Placing the apparatus on the mantle piece, I made a connection between the shutter and the diawer where the "ca bles" lay, running the wire along the wall and under the floor-cloth in such a way that it could not attract attention. If any one opened the drawer I knew that the lens would do its work, and that I should be in possession of a portrait of the opener. "There," I said, as I completed my ar rangements, while Mr. Burt looked won dering on, "if any one pays a visit to your drawer while you are at the meeting I shall know it by means of this machine.. I will look in about four o'clock and ex amine it, before you ha'e occasion to touch the drawer yourself." As we left the room together I noticed that a window was open, and I called Mr. Rurt's attention to the fart. "Oh, yes!" hesaid, "I like fresh air. I always keep the window open. I see what yoa are thinking aloat ; but it is a moral impossibility for any one to enter unseen that way. It could only be done by means of a ladder eighty feet long placed in the center of a crowded alley below. See foryoarseif.'' It was true enough. The wall of the lofty building ran sheer down into a sort of alley or courtyard, through Ahich was a public thoroughfare, teeming with busi nessmen taking advantage of the "short cut." A ladder placed there would hive created an obstruction that would have been promptly resented. So we went oar several ways, firm in the conviction that the room was unassailable exvept through the doorway. At four o'clock I returned to H leen Victoria street, aad found Mr. Bart wait ing for me in the outer oilice. Oa pas sing through the ante-room on our way to to the private sanctum, I noticed that Mr. Johnson was absent, and learned that he had gone out to the bank on his principal's return from the meeting. In the private room everything was as w bad left it, and there was no apparent trace of any intrusion. But one glance at the shatter of my camera, told me a different story. Turning to Mr, Bart, I said, "Your drawer has been opened durini your absence. It is only a question of time now. You will know all about it in a day or two." The financier wanted to write me a big check on account, so overjoyed was he to Cad that he was not tha victim of a su pernatural agency. But I bade him wait till the morrow ; I would report to hiai further in tbe morning. Taking the cam era I went back to my oil ice and repaired to my dark room. I will not say that 1 felt any positive uncertainty as to whose fai I Bhoald discover oa tho negative, but I will confess that I should not have been surprised at seeing certain features preaint themselves ia the process of de velo ment. What was my astonishment, then to note as soon the details of the pic began to show up, that no living Sg'tre had beea present in Mr. Bart's room at all. The desk came gradually into view ; the outline of the chairsbowed itse f ; and, yet, the drawer was undoubtedly 0(.en, but the taruperer was not there. Yet, Btay ! As development", progressed, minute objects began to be visible, and a f.tint line running from the drawer out through tha open window caught my eye. Cierer and clearer it grew, till at any rate the method of the mystery wai revealed. The drawer had been opend from the outside with the aid of a long bamboo rod. Whose band bad guided it, and where had the nnknown found foothold 1 The next morning I was early at the office of Biirt and Company. The finan cier greeted me eiTusively, the more h when I informed him that we were on the eve of discovery. All I asked was to be allowed to give my "clock" another trial that afternoon. . Permission accorded, I set the ap paratus so as to focus a small window high op in a builaing w hich formed a rifiht angle with the wall of Mr. Barfs private room. Judging by the direction that tiie rod took in the photograph, this was the position w hence it had been manipulated, and I had already ascer tained that there was something "cjueet'1 about the firm that coupled, the one room oliice next doer. Frotflthe.haUrjGrier gathered that the people were seldom there, and wer rupposed only to use it aa a business ad dress. That afternoon the camera again told rto I hat the mysterious inquirer bad boen at work, and knowing this time from certain observation I had kept, t! at I should have something definite to tell Llm, I promised Mr. Burt to call in the evening at his house in Sydenham. Thia would give me tim? to develop the fresh negative, get a print from it and eo arm rryself with proof of the assertion very uisugreebleor.e whith I should have to make to my employer. It was nine o'clock when I reached Sydenham. Instead cf finding the millionaire seated corr.forla'oly at dessert, as I had expected, he met me, looking flushed and angry iu the hall. "Come in here, Ztmhra," hi said, leadidg me into the dining room. "You msy as well tell tnc all about it, though I haye a worse worry on my mind now. Stay, though ; before yoa tell rue any thing about that little business, ust read that. I may want to. pv;t you 04 tho track of the Tiiiain." He placed a lettei iq my hand?, and I read as follows after noting that the date was of the same day ; "Beas Papa : Mr. Solvyn and I were married thia afternoon. Yoa see he has made so much money lately that he can all'ird it, I told you there was a lot in thought reading. Hoping that yoa will forgive us, lam, "Your affectionate daaghter, "Taixta SoLvvs." "Money!" exclaimed the enraged farther, as I finished. The pennilexa. loafer! I don't believe a word of it, IJow can he have made money " "Perhaps these two pictures will help yoa to form an opinion," I said throwing down two photographs on tbe table. "They show how and by whom your private information has been pilfered." The first picture I have already dia cribed. The second portrayed Mi-is TT V zO Tl JL J JL Trixi Bart at the other end of the rod, apparently engaged in fishing from a top floor window. For a moment I did not know how he was going to take it His face worked and twisted so that it was impossible to say whether be would laugh or cry. It was evident however that the w hole situation was clear to him. Finally he threw the pictures on one side with a laugh that shook the room. "Hanged if I don't forgive them !" he shouted ; "the young monkeys deserve it for being clever. Smartness runs in tho family, yoa see, and it's better like this than if some outsider had been getting at me." So the millionaire's daughter w as for given and had an opportunity of ex plaining "how it was done." She had no difficulty in borrowing her father's key, and in thus getting a duplicate of the drawer key of the bed room during the time Mr. Burt had carried his pipers home. When once the drawer was open a pair of forceps was substituted for the key, and the documents were borrowed for perusal, to be replaced after in the same position as before. Having herse!f devised the co le, she was w ell a ole to read the cipher. I'.er tram Solvyn had made his own Wins with tbe stock exchange clique fir ti e information and h.ttl really waxed ri :i at his iirosbective father in-law 's ex pense. I When Mr. Burt paid me for my ter- j vices he was very exalieraot over the ; "sirartnees of the farnily," and even j quoted the proverb. "What is bred iu the tone comes out in the flesh," with out seeing that the quotation was not exactly a compliment to his daughter. What the Flags Reminded Yhem of. An American and an Kngllshman were one day sitting on the balcony of the house of ths Anglo-American club in Brussels, passing the rather slow hours in a little friendly guy ing of each other. The iinglishman sat facing the Ameri can fUg, and the American sat facing the F.nglish flag. After a brief lull in the sharpshootin,; the Englishman came out wiih : "I say, old man, ye ruwn't imagine what your Hag reminds me of?" The American was serious. "Well, what is it?'' "Why it reminds me tf a deuced tig gridiron, don't yon know." The American smiled a sad smile and then ai-l : "All right, John. Bit what do you think your flag reminds me of .'" Doa't know." "Well, it reminds me of a darne l b'g beefsteak that we can fry on oar grid iron. H'j4m C'i !,!(. The Lover'3 Stratagem. There was determination in his eye as he approached the dog catcher's wagon.

' "Xc, he hasn't I'm wearing that tag myse'f now," ansa ered the young man, drawing the bit of meta! from his p-x-ket. "Yoa want to g 0 afier him in the day time. lK-'s gentle then.

Id Oi WHOLE NO. 2205 Take a Beech Tree. The danger of taking refuge under a tree when caught in a thunderstorm is one of which we are constantly remind ed ; but. when we have to choose be tween getting wet through with its at tendant discomfort and the ( apparently 1 small chance of being struck by lightning while under the shelter of the tree, it is only n-it'iril that we should decide in favorof the latter, says the Paris Figaro. Under such circumstances it is of ad vantage to know which is the best tree to cnoose for shelter. A certain Herr Wovkert tells us that we should seiect a beech tree, and gives us the following reason : It is always ad visible to select those trees whose leaves are nairy or ciliated in preference to trees with smooth leaves. The danger of being struck by lightning depends not only upon the height of the tree, but also upon its power of conducti vity, determined by the aimnut of sap and iu electric tension. Most of ua know the tendency of points to attract electricity, the most notable ex ample of the application of this princi ple ls"ing the liit'.iting conductor. The hair, or cifia, of leaves act the part of natural lightning conductors, ol thus-pre-vent the formation of a very strong -In tro-motive force ; therefore it sta:ls to rea-son that there U less danger in sheltering under a beech tree than under an oak or tr.'es of a similar kind.
