THE MOVISQ MCTOTIK.
lATEIt tbe detective noticed that
the prisoner glanced anxiously
at the clock. It was a qunrtcr
past 11.
"We will have the visual test now,"
vmM Hautevillo. 'Take the prisoner to
Dt. Duprat's laboratory," ho directed
the guard.
Passing down tho wide staircase,
otrangcly silent now, they entered n
Jong, narrow passageway leading to a
Tmoto wing of the Palais do Justice.
"I hope this goes off well," whis
pered tho Judge uneasily. "You don't
think they hare forgotten anything?"
Trust Papa Tlgnol to obey orders,"
xeplled CoqucniL "Ah!" ho started
nd gripped his companion's arm. "Do
70 remember what I told you about
those alleyway footprints about the
pressure marks? Look!" and ho point
ed ahead excitedly. "I knew It! He
lias gout or rheumatism just touches
that como and go. He had It that
xlgBt when ho escaped from tho An
seata, and ho has It now. See!"
Tke judge obsenred the prisoner
carefully and nodded In agreement.
- Sfeere was no doubt about It As bo
-walked Groener was limping notice
ably on his left foot!
Dr. Duprat was waiting for them In
Us laboratory, absorbed in recording
lie results of his latest experiments.
' kind eyed, grave faced man was
tkte, who, for all his modesty, was
Aubous over Europe ns n brilliant
.worker in psychological criminology.
Entering tho laboratory, they found
themselves In a large room, quite dark,
aave for an electric lantern at one
cad that threw a brilliant circle on a
akeet stretched at the other end. Tbe
Meat reflected from this sheet showed
tte dim outlines of a tiered amphithe
ater before1 which was a long table
aaread with strange looking lnstru-
ats.
"Notre Dame church."
So fur the beats had come uniform
ly about one In n second, for the man's
pulso was slow. At each beat the
liquid In tho tube shot up six luchi
and then dropped six Inches, but al
tho view of Notre Uatnc the column
rose only three Inches, then dropped
back aud shot up seven Inches.
The doctor nodded gravely, while
Coqucnll, with breathless Interest,
with a morbid fascination, watched
tho beating of this red column. It was
like the beating of red blood.
"And thlsr
As the picture changed there was a
quiver lu the pulsating column, a ties
Itatlon with n quick fluttering nt the
bottom of the stroke; then the red
line shot up full nine inches. M. Paul
glanced at the sheet and saw a perfect
reproduction of private room No. 0 lu
rho Ansonla. And slowly as they look
ed two holes uppeared In the wall.
Then a dim shape took form upon the
floor, more and more distinctly until
the dissolving lens brought n rutin's
body Into clear view, n bod' stretched
face downward In a dark red pool that
grew and widened, slowly staining
nnd wetting the polished wood.
"Groeuer." said the magistrate, "do
you recognize this room?"
"No." But the column was pulsing
wildly.
(To Bo Continued.)
No store is too small to afford a
campaign of classified advertising. No
storo will remnln small after such
a campaign haj progressed favorably
for a time.
CITY NOTICES.
"Everything Is ready," said Dr. Du
acatt. "Is this the er the subject?"
M glanced at the prisoner.
HauteTille nodded.
"Please bring him over here. That's
light in front of tho lantern." Then
fee spoke gently to Groener, "Now, my
friend, we are not going to do any
thing that will cause you the slightest
;pln or Inconvenience,"
For some moments he studied tbe
prisoner In silence.
"Interesting, ve-ry Interesting," mur
mured tho doctor. "Especially tho
iobe of this car! I will leave a noto
about It for Bertillon himself. Please
-tarn a little for tho back of the head.
fTbanks! I must study this head when
we have time. Ve-ry remarkable. We
Jaust have these off," he pointed to
the handcuffs. "Also tho coat. Don't
be alarmed. There! Now, I want the
left arm bare abo.ve the elbow." When
these directions had been carried out
"Dr. Duprat pointed to a heavy wooden
chair.
"Pleaso sit here," he went on, "and
allp your left arm into this leather
aleeve."
"Why must I sit la this chair?" ask
ed Groener. "Why do you want my
arm In that leather thing?"
"Somo pictures of persons and places
will be thrown on that sheet, and as
each ono appears I want you to say
what it is. Most of tho pictures are
familiar to every one."
"But the leather sleeve?"
"Tho leather sleeve is like tho stop
watch; it records your emotions. Sit
-flown!"
Groener hesitated. "I want to know
Jiow it records my emotions."
The magistrate answered. "There
is a pneumatic arrangement," he ex
plained, "by which tho pulsations of
your heart and the blood pressure In
;your arteries are registered automat
ically. Now, then! I warn you if you
'don't sit down willingly well, you had
better sit down." Then Groener sat
down.
Quickly tho assistant adjusted tho
leather sleeve over tbe bared arm.
Immediately a familiar scene ap
peared upon tho sheet, a colored pho
tograph of tho Place do la Concorde
"What is it?" asked tho doctor pleas
aatly. Tho prisoner was silent.
"You surely rccognlzo this picture,
Look! The obellskand tho fountain,
the Tullerles gardens."
"Tho Place do la Concorde," an
swered Groener sullenly.
Tho plcturo changed to n view of tho
Grand Opera House, and at tho sumo
s&ornent a point of light appeared in
Hie headpleco back of tho chair. It
was shaded so that the prisoner could
sot see It, nnd It illuminated a grad
uated white dial on which was a glass
tube about thirty Inchps long, the
whole resembling a barometer. Inside
the tubo a red column moved regularly
up and down, up and down, in steady
"beats, aud Coqueull understood that
this column was registering tho beating
of Greener's heart. Standing behind
the chair, tho doctor, tho magistrate
and tho detective could at tho same
time watch tho pulsating column nnd
tbe pictures on tho sheet, but the pris
oner could not seo tho column.
"What la that?" asked the doctor.
Groener answered at onco, "The
Grand Opera IIouso."
"Good! Now, another."
"Tho Bastille columu."
x "And thla?"
