inserted his hand into the bridegroom's
pocket and withdrew the packet of jew

manded of Mr.. Glister.
Notes said that excellent gentle
man. His amazement had lasted only
a minute or so, and he had been bur-

his conversation with his captives with
the calm playfulness which distinguished
him.

cleric. '.Bit of shock, amt itP Never

mildly on the bridegroom, Give often

Glister. "Could you oblige me with the
loan of an overcoat to put over his
hands and hide the cuffs? It's just as
well to keep the yokels of. I'll leave
it at the station for you.'
Mr.. Glister went in search of the de-
sired garment, and the. Inspector hav-

over the young mans hands, ciVIlly
babe him "Good-day," and departed
with his prisoners.
Mr.. Glister waited day--two days
and no summons to appear against
the criminals reached him from any
quarter. Rather mystilied by this, he
went to the local superintendent and
asked for counsel. The superintendent
looked grave, but simply promised to
make inquiries and communicate their

into the shop and inquired for MIR.
Glister. That gentleman, confessing
his identity, the stranger gave his name
as Green, OF Scotland Yard. To him
Mr. Glister recounted the nefarious
deeds of the rural dean and his nephew,
and the acts of Inspector Roberts.
''There is no such name at Scotland
Yard, sir. It's pretty plain. He was
one of the gang-a confederate"
Mr. Glister staggered as if Green had
shot him.
''But why?" he asked, "why was he
wanted? They had the goods, and were
going away with them, when he en-

the purchases. Here is the note. But
see it all now"
''Well, Mr.. Glister, of course the Yard
will do all that's possible. I know the
man with the scar on his cheek, and |

the other two. Well do all we can

you'll never see your jewels again.
