sinking on the floor at his feet. He had no
time to bother with her.
He heard a soft thud, as of some one bound
ing down the stairways in muffied feet. At
the same time q door opened on the floor
above.
Upton drew his small ~six-shooter and
cooked it. In a moment a man dashed into
view holding something tightly under his
stop" cried Upton, presenting his re-
volver.
ID You! you here - cried a voice that
Upton recognized with difficulty as Velez's it
was so hoarse with passion.
The Spaniard lodged around a table and
ran for the window.
Sui he was not quick enough. The sharp
crack of a pistol rung on the air, and he fell
forward with a groan, shot in the head.
The thing he carried under his arm fell to
the ground, was broken open and the superb
necklace tumbled out onto the floor and
flashed like sunlight in the CLEAN from the
open fire. e
In a moment the thin form Of Mortimer
Hollis. clad in his pajamas. appeared upon
the scene. The cry of Upton had reused him
and he had flung himself from his bed and
rushed down. VeleZ, who had secured the
necklace and was creeping noiselessly along
the passage-way. had rushed madly down rs
soon as he heard the cry, hoping to make his
escape before any one could come.
Hollis had a pistol in his hand and when he
saw Upton, fired. The ball missed the cleIk
and lodged in the woodwork of the stairway.
DO not shoot" exclaimed Upton, the
burglar is already settled"
What. Is this you, Upton" cried
Hollis.
Yes. Light the gas and l will explain, "
said Upton.
In a moment the light of three or four bur
ners illumined the room.

as he approached the PROSTATE Cuban, who
was lying perfectly motionless OH the carpet,

the back of his head left q red pool on the
floor.

Mr.. Hollis, do not read those papers.
They are mine I" cried Upton. feverishly.
He OWNED what the documents were. He
approached Hollis, extending his hand. The
servants had by this time come around, and
Miss Treyelyan, in o wrapper aud with her
beautiful hair floating about her shoulders,
had also come down.

Hollis's heiress, while il would mean life
long comfort to themselves.
What VeleZ meant to do was to shake the
woman as soon as he had got the jewels,
never keeping his engagement to meet her in
Canada.
The night determined on was the night of
the very day in which Upton had been twice
to see him and on which Velez had sent the
note to say that he was going out of own for
two days.

of clothes, the coat of which was padded
enough to somewhat disguise his figure, and
went to an east-side hotel: There he en-:

especially after he had made up" his face
in a most artistic way-whitening his skin and
putting a good, healthy red on his cheeks in
place of the olive TINT which Nature had
placed there. Then he dlscolored his white
teeth by some preparation, and az he looked
at his altered appearance in the small cracked
glass in the room at the hotel he laughed.
Cad, will hardly know myself" he said.
At 1919 he went up Madison avenue. con-
cealed himself in the shadow of a tenement
near Hollis's house and kept his eye on the
where the French q slept.
He waited there with a dogged patience
for an hour and a half. Then he saw the
light of a candle flicker from the room. It
was the signal.
He sauntered out of his lurking place and
glanced up and dow the street. There was
nobody about, and the tall houses were
curtained and dark.
He walked with his light tread slowly up
the street. He had had q thin sole of rubber
put on his shoes a few days before. and he
walked noiselessly on them. Then he got to
the rear of Hollis's house.
He saw the window open, and as he APP
peared the form Of the French maid showed
every now and then the moon would shine
brightly through a rift in the clouds and
flooded everything with it's silvery bright
ness. Therese was dressed entirely IN black,
so he saw scarcely anything u her face.

He climbed in at the window with her help
and found himself in the buffers pantry

In the dining-room and the adjoining

rooms.
Velez stole noiselessly up the stairs. while
Therese remained trembling in the dining
room. She had not clos ed the window, as

mastery over her. When he had subdued her
to his influence in this way, Velez had pro-
posed to her that they should steal Miss Ire
yelyan's necklace.
She had told him that this was locked up
in a small safe in the young woman's room.
The key to this safe Miss Trevelyan always
carried in her pocketbook One night
Therese had adroitly removed the pocket
book, secured the key and gave it to Velez.
He was skilful with tools and had a singular
aptitude for all mechanical work. He had
made a key exactly like it, and returned the
other to Therese before morning. The maid
had put 1t back in the pocketbook of Miss
Trevelyan. Later, she had tried Velez's key
in the safe and it worked smoothly and
effectively.
She assured tho Cuban that by 2 o'clock
everything was safe and quiet in the Hollis
house. He told her to come with a candle to
the window of her room on the night he had
determined to make the attempt, as soon as
everything would be quiet in the house and
the coast clear.
Then she was TO open for him a window in
the rear of the house, let him in and remain
on guard while he perpetrated the robbery.
She was to be ready to fly to Canada, where
he gave her an address at which he would
