"Why why, that's ridiculous!"
he gasped.
"I know! Oh, I know!" Captain
McMann's voice was sarcastically
soothing. "A thing like that couldn't
happen because it would get on the
nerves of the people that's spendin'
their good money. I know."
"Oh. Lord!" groaned Manager Carl
prayerfully. "My diningroom! Ruin!
The police captain's lips pursed in
a whistle. "The diningroom. eh?"
There was amazed surprise in his
voice. "A murder pulled in a crowd
ed restaurant!" His tone on the last
exclamation was one of snappish in
credulity.
"That is where you will find the
body." The blind man spoke very
casually; his whole attention on the
match he was holding at his clgaret
end.
"What d'ye mean by that?" The po
lice official turned upon the agitated
manager to growl the question.
"There is nothing subtle about a
plain declarative sentence. The body
is In the diningroom, seated at a table,
with one hand loosely around the stem
of a wineglass."
"Poison, eh?"
"If you know of a poison that
causes slashes of the wrist arteries
yes."
, "Slashed wrists!" Captain Mc

; pin points as he stared at the blind
J man to see whether or not he was
|in earnest. Then he remembered the

ist's expression. He whirled on
Carl. "Is that true?" he demanded.
I The manager's expression was answer
j enough. "Show me where it is!" he
i ordered.
"My God, man!" pleaded Carl.
"Can't you wait for an hour or so,
till the diningroom is closed? Why,

room with a dead man, I would be
ruined!"
"That cuts a whole lot of ice along
side a murder!" snapped the captain.
"Putting a few sordid dollars above
a human life!"
A black scowl came to his face as
he saw the blind man smile at the
obvious quotation. "Oh. I suppose
your so devilish smart you've got the
whole thing solved?" he sneered.
"We start pretty even on this case,
captain." There was no trace of ran
cor in the problemist's tone; but the
tolerance there was maddening. For
years Colton and the police had been
sworn enemies. The paid investi
gators of the city always resented the
blind man's presence at the scene of
a crime. Time after time he had
shown them the falsity of their prem
ises. and his reasoning had led hi fc
unerringly to the solution of the mys
tery when the police detectives had
been circling wildly. Of all the hun
dreds of detectives and policemi h
whom Colton knew, but a scant ha.'/
dozen or so ever appreciated his abil
ity or help. The others, with the su
periority of professionals in all lines,
went out of their way to confuse the
blind man whenever possible. So Cap
tain McMann curved his lips in a
wider sneer as he said:
"We won't be that way long. That
luck of yours can't last forever."
"A race for the solution?" It was
but a quiet question, but there was a
challenge in it that the captain took
up instantly. He nodded.
"Try out your fool theories." It
was his turn to adopt the tolerant
tone, and he took full advantage of
it. "This looks as though it might be
a real case, and a thing for practical
men, not amateurs."
"Very well." Colton rose, with an
assumed languidness that concealed
the physical and mental tenseness of
a hound held in leash the instant be
fore release. "You haven't any ob
jections. I hope, to my waiting till
the coroner arrives?"
"Go as far as you like—as far as
you like!" granted Captain McMann,
with magnanimity.
"You aren't really going into mv
diningroom while all the people are
there?" Manager Carl had come to
life again.
"Come on!" Captain McMann said
brusquely, as he started for the door.
"I'll get a line on this thing before
the cor' gets here." With his hand
on the knob, he turned, as he remem
bered something. "Like to know how,
I got wise so quick, wouldn't you, 1
Colton?" he asked, with a grin of
knowledge withheld.
A slight motion of the problemist's
hand dismissed the possibility.
"Immaterial," he declared. "Salient
facts are all I ever worry about. I
haven't the police practicability, you
see."
"Oh! O-oh!" The two exclamations
were almost a chuckle. "Wise to the j
fact that I wasn't going to hand up
eh?" |
"Something like that." Colton rose
and took from his pocket the strange
note reserving the table. "Here's
that papyrus table reservation, Mr.
Carl. I'm through with it."
The superior grin faded from the
captain's face with a suddenness that
opened his mouth and caused a gasp
ing sound to come from his lips be
fore he jumped forward with out
stretched hand.
"Let's see that! Give it here!"
The blind man extended it politely.
Looks exactly like the one you got
doesn't it. captain?" he queried.
The captain's eyes seemed fairly to
jump from the note to search the ex
pressionless face of the blind man
"How did you know that?" he de
manded, anger in his voice.
"You have just told me. Merely
the proof ot one of the theories you
consider so uselessly foolish."
"Clever!" Carl put in the compli
ment excitedly, evidently not ill-pleas
ed at anything that reflected on the
police captain.
Colton paid no attention, but went
on: "lo save your practical men the
trouble of tracing that curious paper
through a hundred mills, I'll tell you
that it is papyrus, made of crushed
reeds that grow only in Egypt. Ma
terial like it for conveying the written
word hasn't been manufactured for
two thousand years."
"Huh!" The captain's grunt was
suspicious, his face still showed the
flush of anger the manager's exclam
ation had brought. "Why are vou so
anxious to give this information?"
"Merely so that we can start out
even, that's all." Thornley Colton's
tone was impatient. "I've tried to
help you and your men out several
times, and you've always taken this
supercilious attitude. I welcome this
opportunity to match my wits with
your the pause before the next word
was pregnant with meaning—"prac-
ticability." He dropped his cigaret
in an ash tray on the desk, locating it
with his fingers without turning his
head. "If you want to get ahead of
the coroner you'd best hustle," he ob
served quietly. "This is Bierbauer's
district, and his car with the loose
chain drive he never seems to have
time to fix has just drawn up to the
I curb outside."
Again Captain McMann shot him a
i suspicious look, and some subtle sixth
; sense of the blind man seemed to in
; stantly detect it.
"Another of the papyrus notes," he
i made answer simply.
"When I get time, I'm goin' to find
yoU , know •" Promised
Captain McMann grimly, as he opened
' the door, silencing Manager Carl's
unvoiced protest without a single look.
