Dub UNCERTAIN IOTuu0es
Half an hour after my would-E
governess had gone missed my di
monds; the clever creature had take
them out of the case snd closed it agai
while was standing at the window.
That's serious accusation to maxi
Mrs. Ripon. Are you quite sure Their
is no mistaken"
"How can there be, Felix? l wis
with all my heart there was som
chance of mistake
at is the most daring robbery
ever heard of. But we must lose n
time in handing the matter over to tn
police"
Il sent word directly to the watch
man to tell him what had happened
but in that unlucky half hour Mime
Konarski had time to escape"
Mr.. Wyatt's next visit was to tn,
nearest police bureau where ne Nigh
seek advice as TO the most hopeful way
of recovering Mrs. Ripon's property
"Your description TALES with thai
of a woman we have long been in
search Of" replied the functionary
before whom Felix presented himself
and made his statement. "She was
last known under the name of Nine.
de la Tude, and is the cleverest and
most daring thief of the day. 1 can
give you photograph of her, which
| You can show to the lady. If she
recognizes it give it to a detective
whom recommend, and trust to his
powers of finding this light-fngered
lady. She is described as being tall
and handsome, with dark eyes, heavy
brows, and light hair; her age is thirty.
and she is usually richly dressed.
Should you succeed in arresting this
woman you will confer great benefit
on society.
Mr.. Wyatt took the photograph,
which depicted saucy, bold face,
with big, dark eyes, and full lips, and
put it between the leaves of his pocket
book. He then betook himself again
to the Sophienstrassc and Mrs. Rip
on's exclamation of THAT is the wo-
mon to the Iife!" gave him full author
ity to proceed further. He set forth
in search of Herr Gaspey the detective.
He was shrunken, understood man,
slow and deliberate in movement and
speech, but with world of quick OBJ
servation in his small, sparkling eyes.
Mr.. Wyatt's interview with this man
was of necessity short.
When Felix went away Doris made
the heroic resolve that she would
forego all gayeties until his return.
However, the brilliant fete, so easy of
access, was very tempting, and two
little rooms in hotel seemed unbeara-
bly, doleful by contrast; so, at the
Mrs. Bracondale and her
daughter decided to join the other
guests. Doris had saved her conscience |
by resolving to dance little or not at
all, and for that reason wore a demi-
toilette of cream colored cashmere
with scarlet pomegranates Nesting in
ACE at her neck and in her thickly
powdered hair,
1.-The powder makes you look much
older, Doris; nevertheless it is very
think any additional
black on your eyebrows was unneces-
Iary. However, you will do" said
Mrs. Bracondale, looking up proudly
It her tall, beautiful daughter.
The fete was drawing to a close;
Doris and her mother had hidden
arewell to the last of their few ac-
ualntances, and while. Mrs. Bracon-
ale had gone in search of their wraps
)oris sat down to rest in small sa-
BON off the great ballroom,
Half hidden behind a marble pillar, ,
carefully dressed old man was scan I
ing her intently. His attitude and
xpression suggested intent interest ,
ather than admiration, looked many
mes alternatively from her face to a :
it of pasteboard in his hand, and at r
Isl advanced quietly to where the girl /
Doris started to her feet, frightened d
! his sudden appearance, and then .
,rvously sat down again,-a state of
which her unwelcome COM r
lnion strangely misinterpreted.
"What can delay mamma so long" O

ance toward the door N
would madame have the goodness Il
assure me that this is photograph h
herselfP should not like to be

lding out photograph for her in Il
ection.
Doris took the cards in her tremb- b,
lg fingers and saw, to her astonish-
emit, her own face. ia

Madame is my prisoner, and it is he

The fur-lined mantles and soft m
