The reporter did not let on that he knew
that Mr.. Cowley had been to see her this
The EVENING WORLD young man went at
once to Mr.. Cowley's studio.
The painter was there at work.
At first he said The mar with the dia-
monds has been here, and will return In the
course of an hour" Afterwards he said
"Oh, he has rot been here, l met him by
appointment, at the lady's house, after l left
you this morning"
This is not 30.

90 Bank street.
but an hour passed, a half hour followed, and
still the man with the diamonds did not put
in an appearance.
To while away the time, Mr., Cowley told
the reporter that the lady's husband had
come on from Philadelphia and was with her
at an uptown hotel.
The closest questioning failed to elicit q
clue to the name Of the hotel or the interested
parties.
There were frequent Interruptions at the
door, which Mr.. Cowley kept locked.
The first one was a reporter from the Com
rnerc1dl Advertiser. who said in q loud voice
you were robbed of diamonds Saturday night
and we would like TO know all about it,"
1t was correctly reported in The EVEN
NC WORLD last night, ana do not care to
60 over the story again" said Mr.. Cowley.
"Ah, but if you don't tell me something
new I will have to rehash what has been
printed in yesterdays EVENING WORLD
already, " said the G. 4. man.
II cannot help that. I guess any new
tSets WIN tn.d s = published in HE EVENING
Our paper has a very large circulation
among downtown business men. We will
only have to rehash to-day's story from The
EVENING WORLD again for tomorrow unless
you can tell me the news"
II will tell you nothing. as I know nothing
to tell. THE EVENING WORLD got most of its
facts without any aid from me. You ought
to be able to do the same," said Mr.. Cowley,
The next interruption came from . thin.
determined looking. elderly man, we'll
dressed, who seemed to be decidedly angry.
He was admitted. Mr.. Cowiey took him in
What is this about your having a wife
and two children in Cleveland ?" he asked
the artist;
How about your wife in Bank street ?"
THAT was stated with an object" re-
turned MIR. Cowley, YEARLY.
Without the slightest desire to listen, this
conversation reached the reporters ears as
he sat writing at a desk near by. There was
another gentleman present.
We'll, continued the old man, IF you
are married we would like 10 know It."
Hush! There is a reporter" whispered
- We'll, il; there is a reporter here, intro
duce me and let US clear this matter up"
The reporter was willing, but Mr.. Cowley
was not.
He whispered some more, whereat the old
gentleman grew more wrathy, and finally
"Well, If you don't clear this matter up, |
! will myself. ! will go to every newspaper
in town and publish a statement" he ended.
Mr.. Cowley hastily ushered HIM to the
door and went out with him. locking the
door behind.
The EVENING WORLD young man could not
follow, as he would like to have done. Fiji
teen minutps later Mr.. Cowley returned, and
WHO was that eentleman?" asked the re-
porter.
"Oh, family matters. 1 would not discuss
them for the world. " he said.
You are not engaged to be married again,
"Oh, no, nonsense" laughed the gentle
man.
Then he turned the subject by referring to
some of the reports in this mornings papers
AZ erroneous"
For instance, he said, they try to connect
the case with that of the young woman who
was arrested uptown Yesterday morning for
screaming in the street and accusing a man
from Philadelphia Of stealing her diamonds:
Her name was Florence Maitland, She said
she came here Saturday from Philadelphia
and was stopping with q Mrs. Pratt at q West
Thirty first street. Miss Maitland was fined
$40 later in Jefferson Market Police Court.
Now, you would oblige me very much"
continued Mr.. Cowley, after this explana-
ton, by stating that that case had nothing
whatever to do with this case OF mine."

here it is IL o'clock noon, MIR. Cowley, and

:" II is rather curious, " admitted the artist.

man who stole the diamonds ?"
"Ye.."
