Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"

It is very doubtful if any single fingerprint will ever be exactly duplicated by any finger other than the one which originally made it."


? ? ? ? "Does the comparison require much time or labor?" asked D'Arnot.


? ? ? ? "Ordinarily but a few moments, if the impressions are distinct."


? ? ? ? D'Arnot drew a little black book from his pocket and commenced turning the pages.


? ? ? ? Tarzan looked at the book in surprise. How did D'Arnot come to have his book?


? ? ? ? Presently D'Arnot stopped at a page on which were five tiny little smudges.


? ? ? ? He handed the open book to the policeman.


? ? ? ? "Are these imprints similar to mine or Monsieur Tarzan's or can you say that they are identical with either?" The officer drew a powerful glass from his desk and examined all three specimens carefully, making notations meanwhile upon a pad of paper.


? ? ? ? Tarzan realized now what was the meaning of their visit to the police officer.
