The Vienna police are pretty " hard-boiled," Mr. Joseph Gollomb

tells us. When they receive a cigarette box with the finger of a woman in it they, hardly turn a hair. Such an incident is alt in the day's work. But when, on one occasion, they received another finger from the same woman, four 'days lifter, and medical examination proved that the woman, must have been alive four days after the first finger.was cut off, the Chief of Police winced. The denouement of this and many. other grisly crimes is told in Scotland Yard (Hutchinson, 12s. 6d.).
