 Here I found, as I had expected, nearly all the gentlemen guests of the evening before and immediately began study of them. That it was a man who had robbed the hostess and her dear friend of their jewels I felt positive for reasons of my own. '"The rings were not lost," l said to myself, they were taken from the fingers of the women by a man. But when and by whom."
 That question worried me so that, be- fore the day was oyer had made arrange ments with the manager of the hotel for position as day clerk in the office and had added to my duties that of assisting with the coats, the better to become acquainted with the large and wealthy clientele, many of whom had been guests at the Potter's the night before.
 When MT. Potter came in at noon he was the most worried man I ever saw. He ate scarcely anything for lunch and hast ened away without speaking to his friends: "Potter's had another bad day." I heard one of them say as he disappeared through the marble corridor of the hotel land com- ing at this time he will feel ftp
 The next dSy found MT. Potter no better in spirits; and as I helped him on with his coat was almost sure I heard him mutter That diamond! Where can it be. And it would have saved me now"
 Matters went on thus three days, when I received word from Mrs. Potter to call on her again, saying that she had something of importance to tell me- .5s" Tt is about the robbery" said she, when I saw her. There has been another of the same kind. Last night at the Crawford's dinner, a guest opposite me missed her rings. Search was made but they could not be found. It

 At these words he turned and, snatching the coat from my hands. pressed the lump in his fingers Thank God!" he exclaimed Then catching sight of my inquisitive face he cried, Leave me. do not need you"
 .'But need you," said placing my hand firmly upon his arm, ''and if you please will take that Esterhazy. There has been inquiry after It."
 '5ut it belongs to my wife," said he turning ashen pale.
 But how about the other rings those you took from the fingers of your guest the night of your ball; and the one you took from the Crawfords last night?"
 Damn your'
 Better make a clean breast of it."
 With curses and tears the miserable man confessed to me how he had robbed the fingers of his wife's friends to help him in his money losses and finally he told me how he had taken the Esterhazy stealthily from her hand that evening in their after dinner promenade and how 1t had slipped from his pocket into the lining of his over coat and in some inexplicable way had worked itself up into the back where had found 1t.
 Anxiety over the accidental loss of his booty had led my man to unconsciousIy be- tray himself. The other gems had been sold but tbey were redeemed; and the matter hushed up In that mysterious way common to society offenses.
