NIP IT IN THE BUD.
Ftmt Appenmnre of Dandruff a Fore*
to mier of Futnre Baldnea*.
That such is the case has been con
clusively proven by scientific research.
Prof. Unna. the noted European skin
specialist, declares that dandruff Is the
burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp, caused
by parasites destroying the vitality In
the hair bulb. The hair becomes lifeless,
and. in time, falls out. This can be pre
vented.
Xewbri's Herplclde kills this dandruff
germ, an.l restores the hair to Its natural
softness and abundancy.
Herplcide is now used by thousands of ]
people? all sifisfted that it Is the most
wonderful hair preparation on the mar
ket to-day.

The Inspector's Stoiy
[Original.]
A long experience has taught mo that
we should be extremely careful as to
evidence In criminal cases. During the
early part of my police career I was
much affected by those mediaeval
methods in vogue, especially with the
French, of working the nerves of
guilty people. Indeed, I was well
adapted to apply such methods, for I
have an eye that can look a man ,
through and through and an impress- ,
lve manner. Besides, I consider my
self as possessing a good deal of Inge- 1
nuity in laying traps for the guilty to |
fall Into. 1 j
One of my first cases after having .
been appointed an Inspector was th? |
Atherton murder. Howard Atherton, i
a bachelor and a well known man :
about town, was found dead in his
rooms In an apartment house shot '
through the heart by a pistol ball. His '
own revolver, with one chamber emp- (
tied, lay on the floor beside him. ,
The last i>erson seen coming out of |
Atherton's rooms some fifteen or twen- I
ty minutes before the murder was his t
friend, George Bronson. Atherton and <
Bronson were inseparable. The lat- '
ter's mother and sisters were very j
much opposed to the intimacy, cousid- (
ering Atherton's Influence over Bron- .
son deleterious. They knew that Ath- (
erton was Indebted to Bronson for |
borrowed money which was slowly l
growing in amount. Money matters 1
are the cause of many murders, and ]
formed a theory that Bronson in trying
Co collect from his friend had got intc
a quarrel with him and shot him. i
I was at Atherton's rooms soon aft
er the murder was discovered and be
fore anything was moved. I made ur
my mind that the murderer had en
tered the sitting room from the hall. ,
Atherton having entered the room from (
bis bedroom, revolver in hand. Athfcr- '
ton had fired a shot at his assailant,
which had lodged In the door by which t
the murderer had entered. This was a
theory, but well supported by the con
litlons.
I did not arrest Bronson, but sent for ,
11m to come to my office, ostensibly to
get his assistance In ferreting out the
guilty person. He came and while he
answered all my questions did so as if f
studying to say no more than was ab
solutely necessary. I asked him if he F
would oblige me by going over to the
rooms where his friend had been shot,
and he complied, but with great re^ a
luctance. As soon as we were In the jj
sitting room I began to picture the
scene of the murder as I had conceived
It Fixing my eye on Bronson, 1 said: i
"Atherton was doubtless taking an
afternoon snooze In his bedroom wher.
He heard the sitting room door opea J
Qe got up from his bed and saw
trough the bedroom door what was in ]
:he wind. Po you follow me?"
"Yes."
"There were hot words about his in
debtedness." 1
"Yes."
"Turning again to his bedroom, nf i
seized his pistol and advanced upon
you. You started back for a moment i
Irresolnte."
"I did."
''Your friend fired, you sprang aside,
and- the ball entered the door. There,
do you see the hole?" J
"Yes."
"You then Bred and"1?
"Shot liim through the heart."
I led Bronson out of the room docile (
as a lamb and when la the street called 1
to the first policeman I met to go with '
us to the station, where a charge of '
murder was entered. Bronson looked '
Uke one in a dream. Never had I seen !
such a decided effect in getting a con- (
fesslon by acting on the nerves. My .
first arrest in the case was the self i
confessed murderer. i
Bronson spent the night In * cell, and <
I visited him the next morning. I ex- ;
ptcted he would deny having made a '
confession, and he did. Indeed, he pre- '
te&ded not to remember having the j
conversation with me. I was disap
pointed at this, for It would compel me
to prove him the guilty one. In most
cases of confession the confessor is
too broken down to recant In his case
It seemed probable to me that over
night he had remembered that the
chances were I had drawn his admis
sions without evidence and that I had
no witness to them.
I worked hard on the case, followed
a number of clews, only to be baffled, !
The sole proof I had against him wa?
his confession, which unfortunately
was unwritten. On this confession I
held film for months, while his health
was gradually breaking down. I was
In a quandary. The man had con
fessed his guilt, but I could not cog
vict him.
One day when Bronson had been in
Jail for eight months and I was much
worried to know what to do with hlin
I received an anonymous note that
the Atherton murder, which had been
committed under circumstances that
would prevent any Jury from convict
ing the slayer, would be revealed on
condition that the affair be hushed up.
Tired out with the matter, I gave my
; consent A man whose wife Atherton
had been intimate with went to Ather
ton's rooms to remonstrate. Ather
ton, supposing that he had come to kill
him, shot at him, and the man in self
/ defense bad returned the Are.
I had unconsciously hypnotized
Bronson to confess what I willed him
to confess. My own mind was so Im
bued with my theory that without in
tending it I had exerted an Influence
on a weak man to say what I wished
or rather willed him to say. Since
then, instead of forming theories, I have
gathered facts and followed the ttnee
Indicated by them.
