CHAPTER III.
HE WAS NOr DISTURB


Detective Manson believed there was
n good deal yet to be learned about the
rajah's ruby. At the same time he was
also convinced that he had picked up a
few threads of exceedingly important
evidence.
Perhaps he was wrong. Indeed it
was more than likely that he was in IA
fair way to commit several blunders if
he had not already done SO. The man
of infailible Judgment is yet to appear.
The simple fact as | view it, he
wrote to Chief Narick. lis that Miss
Litermore was robbed of an exceedingly
valuable Jewel and died few hours
later from the shock. General suspicion
points to the Two East Indians who Were
seen in Ellenville about the time of the
robbery. 1t is not at all impossible that,
learning of the whereabouts Of the ia.
iah's ruby, they have been sent or have
come of their own accord from the other
side of the world to recover it. Those
Asatics are capable of any crime to Sc.
cure such gem, and SO are other people
But lust now the most suspicious
hcrsOn to me is DR.. Henry Maidhoff. He
is shrewd and cunning, and while pre-
tending to help is doing all he can to
battle Inc in my attempt TO trace the
ruby. He would not do so without
reason.
DIR. Maidhoff was the only person
who was with Miss Livermorc when she
died. He must have known about the
gem. whore it was kept, and more than
likely no possessed the combination to
,he safe. suppose he stole it. None of
his acquaintance would suspect him,
and therefore he incurred little risk
The field Of investigation expanded al
most infinitely before Manson, and "A

upon any one of which an apparently
stable structure could have been reared.
