The talk about the diamonds had all

"Will you call your maid q minute.
please?" said Esther.
Mrs. Carberry smiled, but rang for
the girl.
She entered. received the command
which was an excuse for her summons.
and went away-a little dark woman
with very small waist.
''She is very respectable" said Mrs
Carberry, land engaged to her cousin,
who already owns one cab of his own.

She hurried away. meeting the maid
in the hall, and observing her closely.
The girl wore gray dress with DARK
stripe in it, and her belt was fastened
with a curious silver buckle. Esther
went straight to the policeman who had
seen the gil speak to her bethrothed.
"You would know her if you should
see her again." she asked.
I'D know that waist. "said the police
man. If she had the gray dress with
the black stripe in it, and the funny
silver belt-buckle, like doOr-lock, I'd
know that too"
That night Mr.. Milford sent for the
detectives. but it was not he who spoke
to them. it was his daughter.

beguiled him away-Mrs. Carberry's
maid. Hannah Earle. She was the only
one who knew that the diamonds were
expected at that hour. The driver of

His name is Garvey. He keeps a single

Later the policeman, having gone to
Garvey's stand declared that he could

any opportunity to aid each other.
The woman assumed an air of injured

Garvey-an arrant coward-went down
on his knees at once.
