"He was waiting for news of her in
London most likely, and he knew she
would have the jewels on her and came
down when he got wind of the accident"
knew she would have the jewels!
Then do you mean to say there was col
fusion between the two?"
The inspector glanced furtively at
Ralph, but he had never stirred or
raised his head since he had laid it down
in his clinched hands.
They are both well known to the
police" he said at last, ''and l think it
probable there was collision between
them, considering they were nan and
wife"
CONCLUSION.
l am told that I ought to write some
thing in the way Of a conclusion to this
account Of the Danvers Jewels, as if the
end of the last chapter were not con
clusion enough. Charles, who has just
read it, says especially that his character
requires what he calls IAN elegant finish"
and suggests that a slight indication of
a young and lovely heiress in connec
ton with himself would give pleasure
to the thoughtful reader. But | do not
mean at the last moment to depart from
the exact truth and dabble in fictio.
just to make a suitable conclusion.
If | must write something more l
must beg that it will be kept in mind
that if further details concerning the
robbery are now added against my own
Judgment they will rest on Charles au-
thcrity, rot mine. rs anything l after
ward heard was only through Charles,
whose information l never consider reli-
able in the least degree.

Jane when he came TO see me, having

with Ralph.
Sir George, he said, was quite well
again, but the GOODNESS between himself
and his father had dropped almost to
freezing point since it had come to light
that he had been innocent after all. His
father could not forgive his son for put

But ali! Miss Middleton, I am sure you
will agree with me how difficult it is to
preserve an even course without relax
ing a little at times"
MY dear Mr.. Charles" said Jane,
beaming at him over her knitting, but
not quite taking him in the manner he
intended, you are young yet; but don't
be down hearted. | I'M sure by your
face that as yOu grow older these devia-
tions which you so properly regret will
grow fewer and fewer until as life goes
on they will gradually cease altogether"
II consider it not Improbable myself"
said Charles, with a faint smile, and he
changed the conversation. really can
not put down here all that he proceeded
to say in the most cold b!ooded manner
concerning Carr and Aurelia, or. as he
would call then. Mr.. and Mrs. Brown,
alias Sinclair, alias Tib5its. | for one
don't believe a word of it, and don't see
how he could have found it all out, as
he said he had, through the police and
people of that kind. don't consider it

police in that way; but then Charles
never was respectable, as | told Jane af-
ter he left, arousing excited feelings on
her part which made me regret having
mentioned it.

been seen orheard of since the day after
the accident, was a professional thief
