Konarski had time to escape"
Mr.. Wyatt's next visit was to the
nearest police bureau where he might
seek advice as TO the most hopeful way
Of recovering Mrs. Ripon's property.
Your description tallles with that
of u woman we have long been in
search off, replied the functiohary
before whom Felix presented himself
and made his statement. "Shc was
last known under the name of Nine.
de Ia Tude, and is the cleverest and
most daring thief of the day. | can
give you photograph of her, which
you can show to the lady. If she
recognizes it give it to detective
whom recommend, and trust to his
powers of finding this light-fngercd
lady, She is described AS being tall
and handsome, with dark eyes, heavy
bruws, and light hair; heragc is thirty,
and she is usually richly dressed.
Should you succeed in arresting this
woman you will confer a great benefit
on society.
Mr.. Wyatt took the photograph,
which depicted saucy, bold face,
with big, dark eyes, and full lips, and
put 1t between the leaves of bis pocket
book. He then bctook himself again
to the Sorhicnstrassc, and Mrs. Rip
ons exclamation Of THAT is the wO-
mon to the life!' gave him full author
ity to proceed further. He set forth
in search of Herr GaSpey the detective,
He was q 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
forcgo all gayctics until his return.
However, the brilliant fcte, SO easy of
access, was very tempting, and two
little rooms in hotel seemed unbeara-
bly, doleful by contrast; SO, at the
eleventh, 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
lace at her neck and in her thickly
powdered hair.
"The powder makes you look much
older, Doris; nevertheless it is very
becoming. l think any additional
black on your eyebrows was unneces-
sary. However, you will do," said
Mrs. Bracondale, looking up proudly
at her tall, beautiful daughter.
The fctc was drawing to close;
Doris and her mother had bidden
farewell to the last of their few ac-
Qualntances, and while Mrs. BracOn-
dale had gone in search of their wraps
Doris sat down to rest in a small sa-
loon of the great ballroom,
Half hidden behind marble pillar,
a carefully dressed old man was scan
ming her intcntly. His attitude and
expression suggested intent interest
yather than admiration, looked many
times alternatively from her face to a
bit of pastcboard in his hand, and at
last advanced quietly to where the girl
sat
Doris started to her feet, frightened
by his sudden appearance, and then
ncrvously sat down again,-a state of
confusion which her unweicome COM
