danger. They mny not start for several weeks
or months, and they may leave by tho steamer
which carries this letter. Be on your guard, or
you may lose tho rajah's ruby, and probably
your life. as will assuredly be tho case II 1t Is
necessary in order for them tonccomplish their
purpose. Very respectfully. ,
THAT letter establishes tho fact that
two men have been sent from tho other
side of tho world" said Simpson, "for
the rajah's ruby, and it looks very much
as If they had secured it and arc work
ing their way back home with the gem"
"Then do you consider the doctor elm
mated from the problems"
by no means, though 1t does seem
unjustifable to submit him to suspicion.
can't help believing, however, that he
knows much moro about that ruby than
he is willing to admit"
1.-The most natural suspicion is that he
has been paid big sum to help in its alb
straction from Miss Livermore's safe"
ut is easy to see that he possessed her
fullest confidence" said Simpson, who,
now that he was thinking deeply, laid
aside his jollity of manner, though he lit
another fragrant cigar and nursed the
foot Of the limb resting across his knee.
"Those two miscreants must have done
us the writer of that letter intimated-
left on the same steamer with the mis-
sive. so that they appeared in Ellenville
about the same time. Upon receiving
the alarming letter Miss Livermore had
apart is singular accident, but why
didn't the doctor at once apply to tho
authorities to secure protection against
this burglary and. as it proved, her own
death!'
1T is that feature of the business"
continued Simpson, which causes grave
suspicion against him. Surely he would
not have neglected that simple precau-
ton unless he had some sinister reason
for doing SO. tell you, Max, while you
follow up those sepoys shall cultivate
the doctor"
Have you any hope of finding the
ruby In his possession"
Folsom Simpson looked toward the
ceiling for few minutes, while he filed
the room with the mellow perfume from
his cigar. He was pondering some strange
question Of which his companion could
form no conception. He certainly saw o
complication which did not present itself
to his Astute friend.
II don't know how to answer you,
Max. The natural belief, with the little
light we have gathered, is that DR.. Maid
hoff was bribed to help those fellows to
get the ruby and that they are making
off with il. Probably that is the fact, and
yet can't believe it."
It is impossible to depict the earnest
ness with which Simpson uttered this
declaration. He said:
II see dimly darker mystery In the
background. If I do not explain myself,
it is not because do not intend to work
heart and hand with you in clearing up
this tragic problem. The success of one,
SO far as we are concerned, means the
nuccess of both"

r. The Gounod society have another must
cal treat in store for the New Haven public
and one that will be appreciated by all. At
a meeting of the executive mmittee last
evening 1t was decided unanimously to give
Handel's masterpiece, 1.-THE Messiah" AL
though this oratorio was rendered in
this city many years ago, 1t has nsver been
given with such chorus as the present
Gounod chorus or with such an orchestra
as will be selected to assist in this great
production. This is undoubtedly one of
the most difficult oratorios for chorus to
attempt, but there is no doubt of a superb
rendition, If the present make up of the
Gounod chorus bespeaks anything. The
fret rehearsal of the society will take place
on Monday evening, January 8, in Hsr-
monte hall. Signor Agrsmonte, the we'll
known and efficient director, will assume
the leadership of the chorus. The society
at present numbers about $50 members

all of the singers who composed last years.
chorus. The society will endeavor to pro.
cure the best soloists and orchestra, as has
been the custom in past years. The "Mes-
sish" will be given abous the middle OF
March, and there is no doubt that it will
be admirably supported both by the PEG,
pie of this city and by many of the neigh
boring towns. Thoss present at the meet
ing last evening were G. s. DeForest, pres.
ident of the society; Professor Seymour,
