He Is at bay. desperate, flghtlna for his liberty and maybe for his life. He steels himself throws about him an armor of bravado or un- - concern or taciturnity. His nerves are like uteel v. w 1 career 'm* About the only Information the police were at first able to develop was the fact that the murderer must have entered ihe room from the fire escape. There did not seem to be the slightest evidence as to the identity of the intruder. The bottfe which contained the traces of chloroform bore a label, however, and detectives working on the case traced It to a druggist In Newark. This' man stated that he had sold the drug to a Mrs. Kane, and gave her address In New York city to tliem. Meanwhile police working In the city had be­ come suspicions of Paul Geldel, a belfboy, who had been discharged from the Iroquois a few days previously. When they learned that he was liv­ ing In a room which lie rented in Mrs. Kane's apartment their suspicions were strengthened, but there was as yet nothing on which to hold the boy. He had not been seen by anyone on the premises where the crime was committed sinpe his dis­ charge: still, certain information which came to the hand of George S. Dougherty, at that tlnte deputy police commissioner in churge of. the de­ tective bureau, led him strongly to believe that Geidel was the murderer. The deputy commissioner ; himself, together with Detectives Thomas Van ^Twister and Doaii- nlck Rellly, went to the apartments of Mrs. Kane, a pretty wou&an, who earned a living as hair­ dresser. As they entered Mrs. Kane's sitting room Geidel and Patrick McGrane, another bell­ boy, were sitting with her. Dougherty told Jlrs. Kane that he wished to speak to her alone on an important matter. The other men said nothing, but two of them went into adjoining rooms, each with one of the two boys. They each attempted to question their custodian, but he would not speak, not even admitting that v he was a detective, although the youths must have known It, and this silence multiplied their fears. Mrs. Kane in a very frank manner admitted that she had bought the chloroform and said-that she used It in the treatment of hair. "Have you still ^jot thai bottle of chloroform in ^he house?" asked Dougherty. "No," she said; "It has gone." "Where?" aske«i Dougherty. Mrs. Kane at flint hesitated, but by adroit questioning the commis­ sioner learned from her that It had disappeared from the shelf In the bathroom. After learning all that he cared to Dougherty produced the bot­ tle. "Was that yours?" he asked. Mrs. Kane said that It was and became very much alarmed. The detective reassured her. "All I \Vant you to do." said Dougherty, "is to answer my questions again, just the way you have this time." Then he sent for McGrune, who was In the next room with Geidel. After a few unimportant questions he said to McGrane: "Now, ail 1 want you to do is to sit here quietly. Don't say * word, and If Geidel looks at you make no sign or sound unless you want to get into trouble yourself." McGrane. thoroughly frightened, took his place on a chair the detective offered to him. csr Stepping to the table. Dougherty turned down the oil laftip. wjiich had a red shade. Then he drew the curtains, shutting out the twilight, which heightened the effect' of the red-shaded lamp. Every bit of furniture was placed by the detective so that the effect he was striving for would be enhanced. No stage director could have exercised greater care in the arrangement of de- . tails. hers; and yog cant shake them-yon The bellboy was seated In a chair which directly faced the door to the bathroom, where Dougherty had already replaced the empty bottle of chloro­ form. "Mrs. Kone." said Dougherty, "did you purchase a bottle of chloroform from a druggist in Newark^ about ten days ago?" "Yes" said the woman. "Why did you get it?" "I use it in dressing hair," Mrs. Kane replied. "Did Paul know that you had this di*ug?" "Yes, he did." admitted Mrs. Kane, who was so seated that the light from the lamp shone on her head and features, making them the most dis­ tinctive things in the? room, and Geidel seemed unable to take his eyes from her face. He smiled w>th a certain amount of bravado as the ques­ tioning continued. "Did Paul ever say anything about the drug? What were his words?" Mrs. Kane looked imploringly at Geldel, bot either she did not dare not to answer or her wish to tell the truth was stronger than her sympathy . for the boy. "He asked me If there was enough chloroform %ully him he would become sullen nnd resistive. 4 If you should threaten he would# become defiant. •A^|[?e might be open to reason, but suppose he were " *ot- "When he Is arraigned before a magistrate ere may be several witnesses there whom he Recognizes nnd who. he knows, will recognize him. -j-.^When he has been first arrested he has told his Sfe mother and his wife and his friends that he Is Innocent.

That Is the beginning the break, and It reaches a type of man yon t bully or hoodwink Into a confession." Setting Stage for Geldel. 'is On July 27, 1911, William H. Jackson, a broker |jjf New York, was found murdered In his room i|he Iroquois hotel, in the heart of the club diih trict of New York city. He had been beaten an# • itrangled and a bottle which had contained chid* fUfortn was found on the premises. , In the bottle to kill a man," she said. "I tofd him there was. and asked him why he wanted to know. 'Oh. I might want to take some if thjngs don't go right with me,' he replied, laughing, and 1 thought „that he wus merely joking In a gi;im way." "is that bottle stiU In your possession?" asked the detective. "It <s." said Mrs. Kane. "At least. I have not used the drug, und it must be there." "Where?" "On the shelf In the bathroom." Turning to Dominick Reilly, the detective asked him to look for the bottle. Geidei'8 face showed the first signs of alarm. "Here's the bottle," said lteiily. "but it's empty!" "I-thought you said you hadn't vised It,** said Dougherty to Mrs. Kane, sharply. The bellboy's eyes started from their sockets. He had believed the bottle destroyed or lost. He sank in his chair McGrane did not return the glance of Inquiry his friend shot toxvard hint, llow much did the detectives know? Geidel looked first at one face, then another. , The reddish glow on Mrs. Kane's features showed the anguish she was In. Paul knew she was fond of him. she must be suffering so beeuuse she had been obliged to tell all she knew about the chloroform. Me- Crane's features were s^>)1d. Geldel knew what he had told his friend, and to him this meant that the friend had betrayed him. Reiily handed the bottle, not to Mrs. Kane, hut to Paul Geldel. His tongue clove to the roof of Ills mouth--he tried to spenk, but could not. "So that's where you got the drug to kill Jnck- son with. Is It?" queried Dougherty. "You are under arrest." " ' Every glance; every movement of the prisoner told of his guilt, yet he did not speak. ~ The de­ tectives did not press him with questions. Dough­ erty wns content to let the setting he had ar­ ranged--the silent third degree--work on his mind, iteilly took back the bottle which Geidel find been examining with the horror he wpuld have shown had a deadly adder been placed, wriggling, in his lianas. They took hiin to police headquarters. All the way downtown Geidel was living again the scene In the little room, lit by the reddish gleam from the lamp. A sqore of times he lived again that moment when the detective, with horrible dra­ matic force, ,had stepped out of (he bathroom, .in his hand that bottle which the yoUth had forgot­ ten to destroy. Before he wns sent to his cell Geldel said, to Reilly: "I did It. Can they hang me for this?" Geldel was convicted. "Abe" Rueffs Experience. ( An early form of the silent thlf-d degree., that "HO questions WERE asktnl, was practiced on "A,he" Rueff, the San Francjsco political boss, who was convicted of graft. Rueff was in prison awaithig trial. William J. Purns was handling the case and was making every effort to wring a confession from the p r i s o n e r . ^ . . . . . There wa« a keeper, iq the. prison named Mc­ Carthy, who was on duty near RuefTs cell. Burn* discontinued his calls and Instructed, this man to waken Rueff every night at two o'clock sharp. This McCarthy did by banging on the wall with a heavy stool. Rueff. the first few nights, did not pay much attention to the disturbance, merely turning over and^ going to eleep again.

"Didn't you bear anything?" "Not a sound." McCarthy would answer. This formula was gone through night ajfter night until on one occasion Rueff leaped from bed. to find McCarthy vfide awake. "Didn't you hear anything at all?" asked the prisoner. "X«tWn' but job talkin' In yonr .sleep." aaid McCarthy. ^„ . „ "What waa I talking about?" aaid^ Raeff, alarmed. ^ "The graft esses." *»id McCnrthy. "My heavens!" cried Rueff. "Am I going crazy? My mind must be getting unsettled. I want to See Burns tomorrow." Next day the detective called on the prisoner. Rueff tried to bring up the graft cases, but Burns turned to other subjects until at last Rjieff broke down and half shouted: "Look here.

An ifr the c*ar - Would Have Been of No Avail but for the Patient Labor of the Coloniata. How Bussiaa colonists have strug­ gled and conquered in Russian Cen­ tral Asia is revealed by Stephen Gra­ ham, who has recently made a tramp­ ing tour through that comparatively unknown section of the earth. ^ After crossing the Caspian, sea from Baku to Krasnovodsk Mr. Graham took the desert railway, on which the trains average a speed of only 17 miles an hour over the indifferent sleepers. The western mind might find this railway Inexplicable. Why a des­ ert line while many of die railways at home are undeveloped, and strategic railways are unbuilt? The unswer Is the results in colonization and trade. As Mr. Graham looks out of the window during his Journey a dellght- ,ful phrase occurs to him about a' dis­ tant string of camels moving across the sand parallel to the, line. He de­ scribes them as looking like "a scrap of eastern handwriting between earth and heaven." Anyone wh6 has seen a string of camels on a vague hori­ zon will recognize the aptness of the simile. '""•f Only Irrigation Is needed to make this and other Central Asia deserts blossom like the rose, and the Rus­ sians have already dono splendid work in this respect. Mr. Graham, in his book, "Through Russian Central Asia," describes how the typical Russian family become col­ onists. A messenger is sent In advance to choose a site, and then the family proceeds to the appointed place. "First of all, trees are planted," says Mr. Graham. "How pathetic to see the long rows of three-foot-high poplar shoots and willow twigs! A month on this sun-beaten road leaves no doubt in the emigrant's mind as to what Is the first necessity--shade, shade. Trees are planted all along thfe main gov­ ernment dike. "The colonist chooses the place for his house; he digs a trench all around It and lets in water from the dike, and he plants trees along the trench. Then he buys stout poplar trunks and wil­ low trunks, and makes the framework of his cottage. He Interlaces little wil­ low twigs and makes the sort of wilted green, slightly shady, slightly sunny house that children might put up In a wood in England. "His roof he makes of prairie grass, great reeds 10 to 15 feet in length and thick and strong, or of willow twigs again and turf. In his second year^he has a little hay harvest on his roof. He piows his little bit of desert. He ex­ changes some of his oxen for cotvs. He strives with all his power--as does a transplanted flower--to take root. "He looks forlorn. You look at his poor estate and say: *It is a poor ex­ periment. The sun is too strong for him, he will just wither off, and the desert will be as before.' "But you come another day and you see a change, and exclaim: 'He has taken root after all; there is a shoot of young life there, tender and green.' " All Russian Central Asia, says Mr. Graham, has been won almost without fighting. Military processions were generally all that was necessary. Bok­ hara and Khiva came under Russian protection, the railway was built, nnd Russia became the most important Moslem power In Central Asia. But had it not been for the patient colon­ ists who put Agether their wattle, and mud houses in the wake of the army, the settlement could, never have been a reality..
