Always on the lookout for the detective's remarkable feats of deduction, I saw Jolnes's eye flash for an instant upon a long yellow splash on the shirt bosom and a smaller one upon the chin of Rheingelder both undoubtedly made by the yolk of an egg. "Oh, dot is some of your detectiveness," said Rheingelder, shaking all over with a smile.
Half-way up the block we met Rheingelder, an acquaintance of ours, who held a City Hall position. "Good morning, Rheingelder," said Jolnes, halting. "Nice breakfast that was you had this morning."
"That is where I began my deduction. Rheingelder is a very economical, saving man. Yesterday eggs dropped in the market to twenty-eight cents per dozen. To-day they are quoted at forty-two. Rheingelder ate eggs yesterday, and to-day he went back to his usual fare. A little thing like this isn't anything, Whatsup; it belongs to the primary arithmetic class."
"Vell, I pet you trinks und cigars all round dot you cannot tell vot I haf eaten for breakfast." "Done," said Jolnes. "Sausage, pumpernickel and coffee." Rheingelder admitted the correctness of the surmise and paid the bet. When we had proceeded on our way I said to Jolnes: "I thought you looked at the egg spilled on his chin and shirt front." "I did," said Jolnes.
