HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON, - - - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON, - - - Associate COMMENT. Next Monday Christendom will enjoy the sweetest holiday of them all. Whether Jew, Greek, or Gentile, the approach of Christmas is the signal for a wholesale preparation for a week of festivities and rejoicing. It's the end and the beginning of a new race for the goal of success. The past may have been pregnant with misfortunes, but Christmas morn blots out the past, evens up the balance sheet and gives all manner of man new hopes and brighter prospects. The star of Bethlehem still leads the way not alone for the "wise men of the east," but for the whole world, and for him who rejects the teaching of Christ and Him crucified the same as the devout believer of the birth, life, death, resurrection and the ascension of the Christ Jesus. Intuitively does man honor and adore the benefactor of the day, and each recurring Christmas celebration more firmly fixes it as the end and the beginning of all things temporal. If the past year did not bring to you such rewards as you desired, forget it by a prayer of peace and good will to men and a week of happiness. Thankful to Him who doeth all things well and likewise to you, who think you do, the Seattle Republican wishes you a very "merry Christmas and a happy New Year." Theodore Roosevelt and not Robert L. Follette is said to be the chief stumbling block between Taft and the White House as his own successor. There is no doubt of the fact that Roosevelt stands well with the people, but it appears to the conservative observer that Roosevelt is drunk over his own personal popularity, which he has acquired by posing in the public places while others did the work. Facts will bear out the statement that President Taft has done ten fold more toward giving the country relief from oppressive trusts in restraint of trade the three years he has been president than did Roosevelt the whole time he was president. The Negro dining car waiter, for a time, was considered indispensable, but Jim Hill all of his life seems to have worked on the principle that the services of no one are indispensable, and he has supplanted the suave Negro waiter with the methodical Japanese, and despite the radical change and the complaints of many of the guests in the dining car, because they no longer had the SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DEC. 22, 1911. presence of the well groomed black man who seems to have been borne to serve, the eating goes on just the same. The musical melody of the Negro's: "First call for dinner in the dining car!" has given way to a jugular grunt followed with, "First call," from a Japanese streaking through the day and sleeping coaches. The hungry person ocncludes it is eating time and follows. The Jap has not the making of either a servant or a caterer, but he is always Charley on the job and does what you want him to do, and that's what the average man out west likes. Hard time stories are so common to the United States just now that even the millionaire declares he is having a hard time "getting by." His hard time of getting by, however, is dodging the poor and needy lest he has to give up something. But serious, times are so close and hard that there is little or no travel on the railroads, which means that the porters will not have "crap" money for Christmas. Hard times are not alone confined to the Puget Sound country, where prosperity awaits the whang of the lumber saw and the return of the Alaska gold seeker, but the same cry is heard in the mineral, the fruit and the wheat belts of the Northwest, one and alike. Even in the United States army posts, where the pay comes so long as life lasts, Mr. Hard Times seems to hold daily seances. Surely, surely, the United States must be suffering from an overdose of frenzied financiering. In abrogating the 1832 treaty with Russia it looks as if the United tSates is "spiling fur wah" over an insignificant matter. There is no denying that the Russians are and have for scores of years shamefully, not only abused, but wilfully murdered the Jews by the wholesale, but the United States has no more legal right to interefere with Russia for maltreating the Jews than has Russia or some other foreign power the right to interfere with the United States for murdering by the wholesale the Negroes, who were forcibly brought to this country and for mercenary purposes by the ancestors of the border outlaws who are daily murdering them. But a few days ago two men and a woman, Negroes, were burned to death in a wagon in which they were riding, and the only crime they had committed was the buying of a farm in a community where all the residents were white. There is no punishment so repulsive to the living as the burning of a human being, and doubly so, if while the unfortunate is writhing in the all consuming flames, the persecutors hold a jollyfying war dance. Despite that most monumental crime against humanity the Associated Press did not send a word out about it and it would not have been known, if the Script service had not sent out a three liner about it. If God directs the destiny of the European nations they should as a unit stand ready to LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 VOLUME XVIII, NUMBER 42. blot the United tates government off of the face of the earth unless she desist from such practices. Let Uncle Sam practice what he preaches and he will appear more consistent. PERSONS IN PUBLIC EYE John H. Perry, one of Seattle's prominent attorneys, returned from Spokane last Tuesday, whither he went to look after the legal defense of the Press of Spokane, which paper had been sued by a preacher of that city for criminal libel, and $100,000 has been demanded as a soul balm. Mr. Perry leaves next week for Hawaii and will be absent from the city until the middle of February. Hon. George Turner, recently appointed boundary commissioner in all disputes between Canada and the United tates, leaves next Monday night for Chicago to meet the commission December 29th, from there he goes to Washington, D. C. He expects to be back in Spokane some time in February. J. D. Bassett, state senator from Ritzville, is now a leading bond and investment broker of Spokane and says he is out of politics for all time to come. "No, I am not a candidate for Congress, nor have any intention of being; I am, however, very friendly to Harry Rosenhaupt, who will doubtless be a candidate for Congress from the state at large." Senator Bassett was one of the most successful committee workers in the two last legislatures and was one of the most popular members. Col. Billy Redpath of Spokane will be among those who will seek to oust La Follette from the seat he is warming in the house of representatives in Congress. The colonel has played the political game on former occasions. Kegley, it is reported, will be named by Gov. Hay as Lawrence's successor on the utilities commission. The appointment might prove a vote getter for Hay's gubernatorial candidacy, but from a business standpoint it is considered worse than rotten. Hay's utility commission with Jones, Lee and Kegley would make an awfully poor showing in comparison to Mead's commission with Fairchild. Lawrence and Jones. Hon. John L. Wilson will leave soon for Washington, D. C., where, during the dying days of the sixty-second Congress, he will represent the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. That body was a long time getting round to seeing Senator Wilson as others see him. Had it done ten years ago, what it is now doing, selecting John L. Wilson as its representative, the commercial interests of the city would today be singing a far different song than it now is. Dick Hutchinson, the big dirt dealer of Spokane, who plays the political game for recreation, is an "amoosing little cuss," and others besides his political opponents have found it out. Last winter a day or two after the legislature had convened, Dick was in 2 his seat the first minute of the day and the second minute thereafter he touched off his fireworks. Josiah Collins listened to the raspings the senator from Spokane was administering to his opponents until he would have bursted wide open if he had not had spoken. In all his senatorial dignity he rose and addressed the president of the senate and among other things he said: "The senator from Spokane takes advantage of his feebleness (Dick was just out of a hospital) to abuse the other senators." Whereupon the only Dick retorted: "I understand that the senator from Seattle was originally from the south, where men settle their disputes with guns instead of fists. I too am from the south and can pull a trigger just as well as I ever did, and if he likes we will walk out and settle this with guns, and if the laws of Washington are against dueling we will run over into Idaho and if the senator is short of change I will loan him enough to pay his fare." Now, at the game of bluff Collins is a stiff player, but he cooled down and never again crossed the pathway of Senator Hutchinson. Curtis Guild, former governor of Massachusetts, was once asked for the funniest story he had ever heard. This is the story he told: "An Irishman and a Jew were discussing the great men who had belonged to each race and, as may be expected, got into a heated argument. Finally the Irishman said: '‘Ikey, listen. For ivery great Jew ye can name ye may pull out one of my whiskers, an' for ivery great Irishman I can name I'll pull one of yours. Is it a go?' "They consented, and Pat reached over, got hold of a whisker, said, 'Robert Emmet,' and pulled. "‘Moses!’ said the Jew, and pulled one of Pat's tenderest. "‘Dan O'Connell,’ said Pat and took another. "‘Abraham,’ said Ikey, helping himself again. "‘Patrick Henry,’ returned Pat with a vicious jank. "‘The Twelve Apostles,’ said the Jew, taking a handful of whiskers. 'Pat emitted a roar of pain, grasped the Jew's beard with both hands, and yelled, 'The Ancient Order of Hibernians.'" Opie Read, the big, genial novelist, storyteller, and ever-popular entertainer, was at a Chatauqua out West last summer, where, after his lecture, he met a fellow platformist and invited him to have a smoke. "Come, H—," said Read, "get your pipe and let's get comfortable." "No, thank you, Mr. Read, I don't smoke." "What! Don't smoke!" exclaimed Opie. "No," declared the other, "I never smoke, chew, drink, nor swear." "Great Caesar, man," cried Read, "I'm doing one of those things all the time." Judge Richard B. Russell, of Georgia, is known in politics as "Plain Dick" Russell. On the recent election of Governor Hoke Smith to the United States Senate, Russell announced himself as a candidate for the soon-to-be-vacated executive office, for which he is now running with all his might —whiih is saying a great deal. Besides being a justice of the court of appeals, a wellknown politician, and a prosperous farmer, Judge Russell is the proud father of fourteen children. Having twelve children already, and being superstitious by nature, he was unwilling to risk the unlucky thirteen, so his last two were twins. On one occasion, Judge Russell took his fourteen children with him to a state fair, where, among other things, they were exhibiting a two-headed calf as a side attraction. Judge Russell cautiausly inquired the price of tickets. "Ten cents for whole and five cents for half tickets," explained the showman. Brightening perceptibly, "Plain Dick" handed out the money. "Give me one whole and fourteen halves," he said. The showman eyed him curiously. "Have you fourteen children?" he asked. "I have that," replied the judge. "Got 'em all with yer?" "Plain Dick" pointed proudly to the long row of human steps rising back of him. "There they are," he said; "count for yourself." Lifting his finger, the showman counted one by one. "Mister," he said, "keep yer money. Suppose you sell me a ticket, and I'll bring the calf out to see you." Mr. Oppenheim, the novelist, is very fond of lobster. During a recent visit to New York he was seen every night bending his keen visage over the great scarlet shells and extracting the snowy meat. One night his waiter brought him a lobster that lacked a claw. "I say, waiter," he complained, "there's a claw missing here." "Yes, sir," answered the waiter; "two fellows got into a fight down-stairs, and this one lost a flipper." Pushing back his plate, Mr. Oppenheim commanded, "Take him away and bring me the winner!" George Eastman, the inventor of the kodak, is responsible for this story: "I was sitting in a drug-store waiting to get a prescription filled, when a young Irishman entered. He pointed to a stack of green castile soap, and said: "Oi want a loomp o' thot." "‘Very well, sir,’ said the clerk, 'Will you have it scented or unscented?' "Oi'll take ut with me,' said the Irishman." Woodrow Wilson was speaking at a dinner in Trenton. "A statesman," said he, "according to the old-fashioned creed, must never change his mind. A changed mind may indicate a splendid mental development, but the old-fashioned are sure to call it inconsistency, and they are sure to come back at the inconsistent statesman as tellingly as the old parishioner came back at his pastor. "A certain young pastor announced nervously one morning, 'I will take for my text the words, "And they fed five people with five thousand loaves of bread and two thousand fishes."' "At this misquotation the old parishioner, from his seat in the amen corner, said audibly. 'That's no miracle—I could do it my- self.' "The young preacher said nothing at the time, but the next Sunday he announced the same text. This time he got it right,' And they fed five thousand people on five loaves of bread and two fishes.' "He waited a moment, and then, leaning over the pulpit and looking at the amen corner, he said, 'And could you do that, too, Mr. Smith?' " 'Of course, I could,' Mr. Smith replied. " 'And how would you do it?' said the preacher. " 'Why, with what was left over from last Sunday, of course,' said Mr. Smith." Rabbi Wise, when he visited Boston for the first time, was undecided at what hotel to stop. As he wandered up Summer Street, from the South Station, he determined to inquire for a good hotel. So he accosted a fine-appearing man who was coming toward him, confident that from such a citizen he would be sure to get the very best advice as to his choice of a stopping-place. "What would be a good place to stop at?" he inquired of the stranger. "Just before you reach the at," was the disconcerting reply. Representative Henry of Texas, in an eloquent and caustic speech in the House last session, condemned the American heiress who marries, for the sake of his title, the nobleman ruined in health and prospects by dissipation. Discussing this speech with a reporter, Mr. Henry said: "I want to see our hale young girls marry hale young men. I want to see them all showing the spirit of a girl I know in Waco. She was proposed to by a rich bachelor of fifty. And she refused him. Afterward, talking over the turn-down with a mutual friend, she said: "'Yes, I refused him. He has, you know, a past. He has a dreadful past.' "'Oh, but,' said the mutual friend, 'a man can always blot out his past.' “‘Yes, that may be,’ replied this splendid Waco girl, 'but he sha'n't use me for a blotter.'” Governor Foss, of Massachusetts, tells of a well-known divine who was visiting a state prison, when he came across a prisoner whose features were familiar to him. "What brought you here, my poor fellow?" he asked. "You married me to a new woman a little while ago, sir," the prisoner replied, with a sigh. "Ah, I see," said the parson, "and she was domineering and extravagant, and she drove you to desperate courses, eh?" "No," said the prisoner, "my old woman turned up." Bath Robes, Smoking Jackets. E.

Boscawen, dressed for dinner, stood, a tall, graceful figure of a man, before the fire in his study, one foot resting upon the curb. The room was in darkness save for the glow of the fire, which played ruddily over the man's clear-cut, resolute face and abundant, prematurely-whitened hair. Somewhere in the flat an electric bell trilled briskly. He stirred at the sound, and looked at his watch, holding it to catch the firelight. Steps approached, muffled by the thick carpet in the corridor. He moved to the switch, and turned up the lights as the door opened. "Mr. Loane, sir," Smith announced, and like the perfect servant that he was—observing the surprised jerk of Boscawen's head and the shade of annoyance that crossed his face, he was quick to add: "Mr. Loane, sir, said that you were expecting him." The visitor thrust past him into the room. "To be sure you were expecting me, weren't you?" he blustered, to dissemble his doubts of the reception that might await him; and he proffered his hand to Boscawen. Boscawen looked at the hand, looked at the man's coarse, bloated face under the opera hat which he had not troubled to remove, and then looked at Smith, dismissing him with a glance. The servant vanished, considerably perturbed. Loane continued to proffer his hand. Boscawen looked at him again, critically. It was a fatter hand than one would have expected from the general build of the man. It was yellowish in tint, and the skin was slightly crinkled; there were diamonds on two of its fingers. It reminded Boscawen unpleasantly of a jeweled toad. "What do you expect me to do with that?" he inquired coldly offensive. Loane flushed to his eyes, withdrew the hand at last, and uttered a sneering laugh to save his countenance. "So, that's your tone, then," said he. "What do I expect you to do with it?" He laughed shortly. "Well—that's for you to say. I can make or mar you." "Have you intruded here to tell me that?" wondered Boscawen, ice-cold in his anger. "Do you propose to recommence yesterday's arguments? I thought that we understood each other." "Now, that's just what we don't do," said Loane, and, uninvited, dropped into an armchair. "As much as is necessary, at least," Boscawen countered, and looked at his watch again. "I am afraid you are detaining me, Mr. Loane. I am dining out." "Oh, tosh!" said Loane elegantly. "That's not the way to come to terms." "I am not concerned in coming to terms. I imagined that I made myself perfectly plain to you yesterday. You are at liberty to proceed in any way that commends itself to you. I don't see that there is anything to be gained by prolonging this interview." And with that Boscawen moved towards the bell. Loane thrust out a hand precipitately to restrain him. "Now don't be hasty," he implored. He considered Boscawen a moment with raised eyebrows, in a patient, tolerant fashion. "I THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN am disposed to be more reasonable than I was yesterday—a deal more reasonable." Despite himself, despite his nature and his resolve, Boscawen paused; nor could he entirely repress a gleam of interest in his eyes. Observing this, Loane followed up the advantage which he conceived that he had won. He threw back his dress overcoat, revealing a white expanse of shirt and pique waistcoat underneath, garlanded by a massive watch-chain. "Now listen to me a moment. I've been looking into your affairs, and it has become plain to me now that you couldn't afford the price I asked yesterday. If I'd known as much then, I shouldn't have pressed you so hard. I don't want to ruin you, you know. All I want is to—well—to—" "To levy as much blackmail as you can," Boscawen suggested evenly. The other scowled an instant; then smiled almost wistfully. "Ah, well! Words break no bones, you know. But, all the same, I don't think there's any call for you to be unpleasant." "Oh, none at all," Boscawen agreed. "When a perfect blackguard, such as yourself, who has served a term of imprisonment for fraud, and who has been expelled from a third-rate club for cheating at cards, attempts to blackmail me, there cannot, of course, be the least possible occasion for me to be unpleasant. I must apologize, Mr. Loane, if my reception of you appears to lack that warmth to which your social status and your lofty attainments entitle you." "If you think sarcasm's going to help you," said Loane, flushing heavily, "you're mistaken. I am a patient man, Mr. Boscawen; but you mustn't suppose that there are no limits to my patience." "Why not, since you appear to suppose that there are limits to mine?" flashed Boscawen. "Come, Mr. Loane; I think you might be better employed." Loane rose heavily, his anger mastering him for a moment. "I think so myself," said he, shortly. "But don't blame me afterwards." Then he recovered his impermeability to insult, and checked in the act of buttoning his overcoat. "I wish you had been reasonable," he said, softly. "I want to behave well to you in this. It's no pleasure to me to hurt your interests. I give you my word of honor it isn't." "With such security who would not trust you?" wondered Boscawen. "Very well," snapped Loane. "Since you are determined to be offensive, I'll say no more." He turned as if to go; Boscawen advanced another step towards the bell. Then Loane checked again. "Come now, Mr. Boscawen," he resumed in a wheedling tone. "Say five thousand pounds, and the letters are yours. Five thousand pounds—a thousand pounds a letter. Now, that's reasonable. I'm sure." "I'll take your word for it," Boscawen agreed with him. "You should know the value of the wares you trade in. But I am not dealing with you, Mr. Loane." "Why, it's only half what I was asking yesterday. And I wouldn't have come down a penny if it weren't that I don't want to go and break off this marriage of yours and spoil your chances in life." "Your concern for me touches me pro- foundly, Mr. Loane." The blackmailer's pale eyes grew narrow with suspicion as he watched Boscawen. He fancied that the man was too much at his ease. It might, of course, be assumed; he rather thought it was. Still, it was wonderfully well maintained. "Look here," he broke out, suddenly. "I don't want to be any harder on you than need be. Make me an offer." Boscawen was trapped into a little gesture of helplessness and a deprecatory smile. "Really, sir," he said, "if you have been looking into my affairs, as you say, you should have learnt that I am not in a position to—" "Ah, but wait," Loane cut in. "There are ways of raising money when a man is about to make such a marriage as you are making. Now, look here, I'll tell you what I'll do with you. You shall have the letters for four thousand pounds, and you shall have a week to find the money. Now, I am sure I can't be fairer than that. But that's the lowest—absolutely rock-bottom." Boscawen pressed the bell, without answering. "I'll wait till the last moment," said Loane, "before—well—you understand. So expect me here this day week at about this time. And if you'll take my advice—" "So long then," said Loane, genially, "This day week at about this time." "Very well, then," said Boseawen, almost despite himself, and winced to hear the blackmailer's answering chuckle before the door closed between them. The next moment Boscawen was an altered man. All the iron self-possession in which he had cased himself fell away from him, and he dropped limp and beaten to a chair, betraying in full the defeat which already he had partly betrayed in his last words of consent to another interview with Loane. For perhaps half an hour he sat there, staring into the fire, his chin resting on his clenched hands, and when at the end of that time, Smith came to remind him that he was dining out, he found Boscawen so wild-eyed and haggard that he became solicitous for his master's health. Boscawen admitted readily that he was not feeling very well. "I don't think I shall go, after all," he said. "Give me a telegram form." He wrote the wire of excuse, and dispatched Smith with it. Then he sat down again to think, and his thoughts were black and evil. To have his life ruined by that social vampire, Loane, armed with those letters, betraying that bitterly repented folly of his adolescence, those dateless letters upon which malice could set any date it chose! It stirred him to a wild, phrenetic rage. He would kill Loane before he allowed the man to work his evil way. The thought shaped itself rapidly into a resolve, and Boscawen found himself rejoicing at the thought that Loane was to return in a week's time. That interview should be fateful. Then he recoiled in sudden horror from his very thoughts and their premeditation of murder. Was he mad? Was he to dash from Scylla into Charaydis? Was he to escape betrayal, that he might be hanged, and hanged for such a thing as Loane? A week later-three days before the date appointed for Boscawen's wedding—Loane again presented himself at Boscawen's flat in Hampton Gardens. He was admitted by a strange servant—a swarthy fellow of a certain portliness of bulk, with black glossy hair, black eyebrows and a square, black beard, but shaven upper lip, who, in answer to his announcement of his name, informed him in a nasal voice and in speech vitiated by a foreign accent that Mr. Boscawen was expecting him. He conducted Loane to Boscawen's study, and then, instead of departing to announce the visitor to Boscawen, the man closed the door and set his back to it. Loane stared at him across the room in surprise. "What's the matter?" he inquired, gruffly. "What are you waiting for? Why don't you fetch Mr. Boscawen?" The man bowed profoundly, the black beard had vanished, and despite the simulated embonpoint, the stained skin and blackened hair and eyebrows, it was unmistakably Boscawen who stood there smiling with a calm that was almost sinister Loane stared at him, frowning and changing color slightly. "Now, what's the meaning of this? What's your game, eh?" he asked, very ill at ease. "Out with it! Let me know what's expected of me." "Certain letters of mine to which you do me the honor to attach some value, Mr. Loane." Loane stared again, and forced a laugh. "I dare say! Oh, I dare say! And so long as you put up the four thousand pounds we agreed upon they're yours. But I don't quite see the need for this—er—masquerade." "But you shall, Mr. Loane. You shall." "The sooner you make it clear, then, the better, I've no time to waste on you. Are you buying those letters, or are you not?" "I am not; not buying them." "Very well, then. There's no more to be said. You leave me no alternative, but to take them elsewhere." His uneasiness was manifestly increasing every moment, and his assumption of bluster served to heighten rather than to dissemble it. "I leave you the alternative of surrendering them of your own free will—an alternative I should advise you to adopt; for you shall have no opportunity of offering them elsewhere." Loane disliked the tone, and disliked still more the tight-lipped smile with which the other was regarding him. "What do you mean?" he snapped. He reversed his cane as he spoke, and holding it firmly within a foot, or so, of the ferrule, he swung the leaded head, and took a step towards Boseawen. Scenting mischief, he was by now thoroughly alarmed. "Stand away from that door," he shouted, between rage and fair. "Stand away, and let me pass, or I'll beat your brains out." "You're so very hasty, Mr. Loane," said Boseawen, and checked his advance by leveling a revolver. Loane halted abruptly; paused a moment; then fell back again. He was visibly trembling now; his eyes glared fearfully and his face was pale. "Wha—what do you mean?" he demanded, endeavoring to make his voice ring bold and challenging. "What are you going to do?" THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Boscawen waived him to a chair. "Sit down, Mr. Loane. Compose yourself. In spite of appearances there is not the least cause for excitement. The game has gone rather against you; but you have the advantage of being able to show yourself a good loser. It is in the manner in which we bear our losses, Mr. Loane, that we reveal our true natures. Please sit down again, while I explain the situation to you. You'll not find it without a certain interest, I can assure you." His scared, unblinking eyes riveted on Boscawen, and mechanically, as if hypnotized by the other's smile and leveled weapon, Loane sank into the deep, comfortable chair, to which his host invited him. Boscawen lowered his pistol, and came to sit on the arm of another chair where he faced his visitor across the hearth. "I have resolved," he announced in the most level and unemotional of tones, "to shoot you, Mr. Loane, since apparently there is no other way of saving my reputation and my future from being wrecked at your hands. Now do, please, sit still and don't interrupt me. I have always been a firm believer in the unwritten law. To me the thing that is commonly known as crime is perfectly justifiable and proper where it is committed to prevent an injury to honor, to property or to life. It becomes, in short, self-defense; and self-defense is justifiable by law—save that the law imposes rather narrow bounds upon what may be considered self-defense. "When you look back upon your past, when you consider your present, and speculate upon your likely future, you will, I am sure, agree that in—er—disposing of you, as I intend, I am not only serving my own interests, but those of humanity at large. So that from whatever point of view we regard this act of mine, we cannot, unless blinded by personal interest or narrow prejudice, consider it anything but meritorious." "Are you mad?" gasped Loane, believing that indeed to be the clue to the other's extraordinary behavior. "Not consciously," answered Boscawen, smiling as if interested in the suggestion raised. "Has it occurred to you that my argument is illogical, or my conclusions ill-founded? Is not my reasoning soundness itself? Can you show me one single cogent cause why I should refrain from carrying out my intentions?" "You'll hang for it!" spluttered the other, foaming at the mouth in his ever-increasing terror. Boscawen calmly shook his head. "You do my intelligence poor credit. Of all crimes, it has been shown that murder is the simplest to commit, the most difficult to trace to its perpetrator if he be a man of sufficient intelligence, imagination and self-possession to handle the affair properly. Let me explain to you the reason for this disguise which I have assumed that you may understand how very thoroughly I have laid my plans." "A week ago, Mr. Loane, I dismissed my man, Smith—a most thorough and capable servant, who had been with me for five years. On the following evening, a stoutish, swarthy, black-beared fellow, speaking with a German accent and giving the name Schuh- macher, asked the porter in the hall below to direct him to my chambers. I was that German, in the disguise which you have seen for yourself and failed to penetrate when I admitted you. It is fairly thorough, like the rest of my scheme. "I left again after remaining up here presumably with Mr. Boscawen—for half an hour; and thoroughly to establish my identity, I engaged the porter in conversation before leaving, and made inquiries regarding the ways and habits of this Mr. Boscawen, whose service I was entering that very night. The porter was inclined to be superior. I left, to return in an hour's time with my belongings—an artistic little collection over which I took considerable trouble. "Since then, at least once a day, I have gone out and returned as Boscawen, and every evening—artificial light being so much more friendly to a disguise—I have gone out and returned as Schuhmacher the servant. Thus, and in all other particulars, I can assure you that I have very thoroughly established two entirely different identities. As Schuhmacher I have dealt with Mr. Boscawen's tradespeople. As Schuhmacher I have answered the door, and informed Mr. Boscawen's callers that my master was not at home. So that Schuhmacher has come to be a very real and living figure to whom some dozens of people can testify. "Let us come now to this evening. I went out two hours ago in the character of Boscawen. As I was leaving, I informed the porter that Schumacher was out; that I was expecting a Mr. Loane in the course of the evening, and I begged him to inform Schuhmacher on his return that should you happen to call before I was back, he was to ask you to wait for me. The porter promised to do so. What should he suspect? He had not seen Schuhmacher leave the house; but then he does not see everybody who passes in or out. So it was easy to establish in his mind the circumstance of Schumacher's absence. Presently I returned as Schumacher, and I received from the porter the message which I had left as Boscawen.
