CHAPTER V— Continued
With a feeling of excitem ent which
1 found It hard to concent, I began
reading those first twelve neutral
words. Ills answ ers came with flash-
like rapidity. He was a good subject
and he had entered fully Into the spir­
it of the test. To my ear the Interval
between my word nnd his was about
h alf a second. When I saw the reconl
afterw ard, I found thnt It averaged a
little less than th a t—about four-
tenths.
The word Pen brought the obvious
association, Ink.
Snow culled up
S hovel; nnd Song, Theuter.
The
tw elfth word, Sign, culled up the curi­
ous association, Woodland, which was
to ¡»rove of Interest anil significance
to us before the day was out. But I
bad no time to think about It then.
Without varying the Interval, w ith­
out varying the tone of my voice, or
raising my eyes from the list I held
In my hand, I pronounced the thir­
teenth word, Loops.
The answ er came like a flash, nnd
It was Automobile. I glanced up as he
said If, nnd caught a faint smile of
rem iniscence on Ills lips Loops in Ills
mind were things to lie looped, nnd
the circus billboards supplied the as-
sod atlo n with automobile. The next
word Pipe, brought the simple asso­
ciation, Tobacco. To my mind Ids tin-
hesitating utterance of that word was
as good a dem onstration of his Inno­
cence of the crime Itself ns a com­
pletely established alibi woul ’ have

o f th at mind of his, was n piece of
unsuspected knowledge which would
give us the key with which to unlock
th e h eart of the mystery.
Three or four numbers down the
list enme another word, Map, which
might have draw n a significant reply.
The Instantaneous association which
It brought up, however, was Europe.
A fter thnt came a succession of
words, straight Inventories of articles

Morgan house, tint they nil drew blank.
Never once was there a moment's best

So far our test proved, clearly and
exhaustively, that. In his testim ony nt
th e Inquest, our young man had
m eant to tell the truth. I was re-
minded of the doctor's words on the
night of our return from the hospital,
when he had warned me against fall­
ing Into the erro r of thinking thnt
the unlikely could not happen. His
old theory o f associative Illusion,
which had been made to look so fan ­
tastically Improbable by our discovery
of the cloak, was practically proven
tru e In the very teeth of Its Improba­
bility by tills test of ours.
But who w as the girl H arvey knew
—the black haired girl w ho wore a
green cloak, with the collar cut high
In the hack? We were as far as ever
from the answ er to th at question.
