The Circular Clew
    
    
      A DETECTIVE searching for the murderer of a dead man was accosted 
    by a Clew.
    
      "Follow me," said the Clew, "and there's no knowing what you may 
    discover."
    
      So the Detective followed the Clew a whole year through a thousand 
    sinuosities, and at last found himself in the office of the Morgue.
    
      "There!" said the Clew, pointing to the open register.
    
      The Detective eagerly scanned the page, and found an official 
    statement that the deceased was dead.  Thereupon he hastened to 
    Police Headquarters to report progress.  The Clew, meanwhile, 
    sauntered among the busy haunts of men, arm in arm with an 
    Ingenious Theory."
