And again thanking her for her cotiT-

"I understand that your aunt was the
victim Of robbery" remarked the Wis
itcr inquiringly.
'I was not aware that it was gener-
ally known" was the reply of the young
lady, whose manner showed q slight dis
pleasure at the remark.

cret, however desirable it may be. May

II really know nothing about IT," nn-
swered Miss Glider, with q manner
which showed she wished the subject
dismissed. Simpson, however, was not
to be thwarted 30 easily.
.Then you were not here at the timer"
sNo."
(Which was undoubtedly fortunate
for you, for such men are always des-
perate and hesitate at no crime. Their
visit was great shock to your aunt and
doubtless hastened her DEATH"
"Yes-no-that is, of course she was
shocked, but the subject is an unpleasant
one to me-"
The momentary confusion shown by
Miss Glider confirmed Simpson in his
conviction that only the border of the
mystery Of the rajah's ruby had as yet
been touched. Despite his caution and
the skill with which he had managed the
interview, the young lady had formed a
suspicion Of him. A wotnan's instinct
is superior to mans wisdom, and she
was on her guard.
IF the detective was to win, 1t must be
through victory over this keen witted
young lady. Her last remark proved 1t.
He could frame no good excuse for
tarrying longer, and again thanking her
for her courtesy took his departure.
Although Simpson and Manson had
spent 10 much time together the evening
before, they deemed it wise to act at
other times as II strangers. On the re-
turn Of the former to the hotel he learned
that his associate had gone.
This was expected, for the matter was
understood between them.

down the cxse will be closed. Perhaps
1t will, bull do not believe it. The mys-

From his station at the window Of his

"That's my pretty Miss Glider" was

dIt would be just like him. He came
to Ellenville unwillingly, but in obedi-

help me to the true theory and stays be-
hind to go through the form Of doing
something. That owlish look when put
the question to him was with view of
deceiving me. Folsom is clever fellow,

It proved not very difficult to trace the
aliens. Travelling with their packs, it
was their custom to spend several days
at different villages and towns. When
through with any place, they did not
walk to the next harvest field, but trav-
eled by rail.
rsfore leaving Ellenville Manson
made some inquiries, the result of which
was not altogether satisfactory. He
found that the peddlers had never been
arrested for the suspected robbery O!
