Excerpt from The Snare of Circumstance

Very man is the architect of his own for tunes was SO carefully impressed upon my youthful mind, that manhood was reached before I came to understand that a literal acceptance of that saying is a mistake. It was my connection with the Sombers mystery that completed my conversion to a belief in cause and effect, and made me a re specter Of the potency of circumstance.

I had known Mr. Peter Sombers from my child hood. It was natural, therefore, when the Old gentleman was mysteriously murdered, that I should seek the assignment to visit the scene of the crime and do the special for the Sphere, that great New York daily on which I had won my spurs as a star reporter. But my chief had other plans for me, and before the man who was detailed to that case reached the New England village where the murder was done, I was well out past Sandy Hook On my way to Paris on a commission to which I had long looked forward.
