He shook his bead as if to discourage conversation, without taking his eyes off the microscope through which he was squinting. His lips were moving as if he were counting. I waited in impatient silence until be seemed to have flnished. Then, still without a word, he took up a test-tube and dropped into it a ilttle liquid from a bottle on a shelf above the table. His face lighted up, and he regarded the reaction attentively for some time. Then he turned to me, still holding the tube. : "Too have been on a bust," he said wttn. a smile as if the remark of a few minutes before were still fresh. "Only It was a laughing gas Jag nitrous oxide."

"Nitrous oxide?" I' repeated. "How what do you mean?" "I mean simply that a test of your blood shows that you were poisoned by nitrous oxide gas. You remember the sample of blood which I squeezed from your thumb? I took it because I knew that a gas and it has proved to be nitrous oxide is absorbed through the lungs into the circulation and It presence can be told for a considerable period after administration.".",,, ':;.

EAGER PROMOTERS BID FOR SLICE OF FUND ' RAISED TO BRING NEW SHOPS TO RICHMOND OFFERING MANY " WILDCAT" PROPOSITIONS

If Richmond's $100,000 factory fund could be split up among all the appli

cants for a share in it, and every one

of them would do what they anticipate

for their proposed industries, this city

would be battling with Cleveland ana Detroit for fifth place of the United States cities. This Indicates to a degree what con

fronts the new Industries committee of

the Commercial club. According to

Secretary Haas, the Richmond Industrial Development company's advertis

ing has brought every kind or a proposition conceivable to the club. Large Percentage Falls. "It ia known that 98 per cent of new factories fan only five per cent of industries which are launched are successful," said Secretary Haas today. Thus far the $100,000 has gained for Richmond a tremendous amount of ad-

SEDGWICK IN ANNUAL REPORT TO MEMBERS RECOMMENDS NEW ADDITION TO "Y" BUILDING

recommendation for an addition to the T. It C. A. building, which was erected in 1907 and los. was made last night at the annual meeting of the association, following a statement by President Richard Sedgwick that the present quarters are overcrowded and that there are not sufficient accommodations for either members or dormatory men. The building, he said, is inadequate from basement to roof. Th physical

department demands cannot ber

met and there la no place for more lockers. The dormatorlee are so inadequate that 67 men had to be placed in rooms outside of the association in the past year and there were many other refusals for rooms. Only the small boys, with their new rooms In the basement, partly under the Eighth street sidewalk, have adequate accommodations, he said. Shews Deficit of $$71 No arrangement were made for a movement to build an addition, but the matter probably will be taken up at the next meeting. The financial report, which listed the expenditure of $10,778, was considered satisfactory with a deficit of only $871 in unpaid bills.' The membership fee take care of about onethird of the expenses, according to the report All departments made pro Its and the membership was increased from $53 to $70. Spiritually,

the year was a success with Bible classes and shop meetings. In the restaurant, 44,301 meals were served but the profit, was small because of the high prices of food. James A. Carr. succeeding himself, and George H. Knollenberg, succeeding Clem A. Gear, were elected trustees of the Y. M. C. A. building. Directors elected were A. L. Smith, A. L. Bramcamp, Harry Doan, J. W. Ferguson, Clarence . Kramer and, J. W. I'nrkhurst The trustees reported the satisfactory investment of $24,000, an endow

ment fund. They are also holding a

$1,000 bond, the benefits of which go to the widow of the donor until her death. Their report follows: Assets.

vertising in the industrial and financial world which it could have had in no other way except by the expenditure of impossible sums of money. . The propositions have been from employer or prospective employers of from 10 to 5,000 men. The one considered most favorably have been from established concerns employing not

more than 700 men. The anticipated payrolls have been from $200 to $70,000 a week. Patent Holders Apply. Probably the most interesting from a humorouB standpoint are the applications from owners of patents, impractical, unmarketable,' and unmakeable in many cases, and in some cases apparently sound. . Patents alone are net given much consideration unless there is a chance of development and a ready market. The patents are for things ranging from shoe buttoners to hiphly complex scientific machines. Other applicants want exhorbitant bonus offers, some want expensive, especially built factory buildings to house industries which have been failures, and others want to sell their stock to the development company. "Yes, If Dayton, for instance, has a thousand factories, 20,000 have been started and 19,000 have failed," Baid Secretary Haas. - - - -

million to a drop that should have had Somewhat more than only half that number. You were poisoned by gas that- - "Ye," I interrupted, "but how, with all the doors locked?" "I Was coming to that," he said quietly, picking up the lock and looking at it thoughtfully. He had already placed It in a porcelain basin, and in this basin he had poured some liquids. Then he passed the liquids through a fine screen and at last took up a tube containing some of the resulting liquid, - "I have already satisfied myself," he explained, "but for your benefit, seeing that you're the chief sufferer, HI run over a part of the test You saw the reaction which showed the gas a moment ago. I have proved chemically as well as microscopically that it is present in your blood. Now if I take this test-tube of liquid derived from my treatment of the lock and then test it as you caw me do with the other, isn't that enough, for

you? See; it gives the same reaction." It did indeed, but my mind did not react with it 'Nitrous oxide," he continued, "in contact with Iron, leaves distinct traces of corrosion, discernible by chemical and microscopic tests quite as well as the marks It leaves in the human blood. Manifestly, if no one could have come in by the windows or doors, the gas must have been administered in some way without any

one coming into the room. I I found no traces of n intruder. It was a tough one. Never much good- at answering his conundrums when I Wa well, I could not even make a guess now"The key-hole, of course!" he explained, "I cut away the entire lock, and have submitted it to these test which you see." - - "I dont see it all yet." ! said. "Some one came to our door in the night, after gaining entrance to the hall not a difficult thing to do, we know. That person found our door locked, knew it would be locked, knew that I always locked it. Knowing that such was the case this person came prepared, bringing perhaps, & tank of compressed nitrous oxide, certainly the materials for making the gas expeditiously." I began to understand how it had been done. - ' . ' j? "Through the keyhole," he resumed, "a stream of the gas Was injected. It soon rendered you unconscious, and that would have been all, If the per

son had been satisfied. A little hit would have been harmless enough. But the person was not satisfied. The intention wae -not to overcome, bat to kill. The stream of gas wa kept up until the room wa full of It "Only my return saved you, for the ga was escaping vary slowly. Even then, you had been under it. so. long that we had to resort to the wonderful little pulmotor after trying both the Sylvester and Schaefer methods and all other manual means to Induce respiration.

"But who could it have beenr I asked..., - .: . . : ; V We are pretty close to that criminal,"' was the only reply he would glvte, "providing we do not spread the net in sight of the quarry." . . "But why should he have wanted to get me?" I repeated. To be continued "-. '
