THE GR.AT JEWEL ROBBERY

The little word ~ fashionable London
society was startled few years ago by
reports % a series of daring Jewel rob-
berIes.lhe most costly gems seemed to dis
appear as IL bF magic uuGer the very eyes
OF their owners. These r0DbeFies detied
detection. A cline ia one case was upset
by the facts ia another. When my aid
as private detective was called in / re-
solved to c0uhue MY attention 10 three
distinct cases, though, Of course, ii useful
information came IN ray way concerning
other matters / should know now to take
advantage OF it.
The FIRST Of the three on my list was the
ease Of the D0Wager Lady A., a some
what eccentric old lady, who found her
chlet delight in arrayiHg herself in her
most valuable Jewels and visiting ia re-
Eular rotation all the West Fad theatres.
One night when returning from one OF
these expeditions, her carriage bad been
overturned by colliding with an omnibus.
The dOw0ger WAS seriously injured, auu
within a few days she was dead. Then,
apparently for the FIRST time. il was dis
covered that the whole Of t0e jewels worn
by Lady A. on the night Of the carriage
accident had mysteri0usiy disappeared.
Her maid was so overcome by the sight
of Der injured mistress that she failed al
Fogether 10 remember what as done with
these Jewels at the moment when her
l8d}ehip was undressed 81 was even a
question whether they M ght net have
been actually lost in the street during the
confusion Of the accident. AT all events
ma trace Of them copld he fo,Rpd ana II
soon became evident tbat In the evette-
ment OF summoniBg relatives. fetching
sioetors. and very aeon n,arsas md undar.
RaEars balf a dozen uersops nfybf have
entered the house and walked of
with the jewels without any chance Of de-
section.
