The Heart of the Puzzle.

The next morning / swallowed my pride
and sought our Durbin. He had superin-
tended the removal of Mrs Jeffrey's effects
from the southwest chamber. and should
know. if any one. where this filigree ball
was now to be found. Doubtless 1t had
been returned with the other things to Mr..
Jeffrey. and yet. who knows? Durbin is sly
and some inkling of it's value as clue may
have entered his mind II 50. it would be
anywhere but in Mr. Jeffreys or Miss Tut
ties possession.
To test my rivals knowledge of and in
terest In this seemingly trivial object I
stopped to what / can but consider a par
donable subterfuge. Greeting him In the
Ofrhand way least likely to develop his
suspicion. i told him that l had a great
idea In connection with the Jeffrey case
and that the clue to 1t lay in a little
gold ball which Mrs. jeffrey sometimes
wore and upon which she set great store.
So far / spoke the truth. 1t had been
given her by some one-not Mr.. jeffrey
and believed, though did not know. that
It contained a miniature portrait which 1t
might be to our advantage to see.
1 expected his lip to curl: but for won
der it maintained its noncommittal aspect,
though was sure that i caught . slight,

and other treasures. SO that it is impossible
to estimate his wealth.
The cars father was a careful business;
man. He watched the income and outgo
and cut down the expenses of the estate
which had been extravagant. When he
came to the throne he personally over
hauled the accounts of the imperial hous--
hold, and after few days study reduced
amount of $125,O00 a year. He then GU.
down the imperial stables and looked into
the management of his palaces.
In the Winter Palace there had been a
magnificent Persian carpet which he had
especially admired a prince. Shortly
after his accession he noticed that this
had disappeared. He asked about 1t and
was told it had been sent out to be cleaned.
He ordered it brought back at once. but the
days passed and it did not appear. He
then looked into the matter and found that
the officers of the household had ordered
that the entire palace be refurnished and
the valuable carpets and other things had
been disposed of without an accounting.
The result was a wholesale dismissal of
officials and the revocation of the unneces-
Sary contracts.
The Homes of the Gear.
The cars palaces are worth looking at
There is nothing like them upon earth
Tzarskoe Selo, where his majesty spends
much of his time, has floors of ebony and
mother-of-pearl and walls inlaid with
malachite and lapis lazuli. There is a
room in it inlaid with tortoise shell,
another walled with bamboo and many
apartments hung with goblin tapestries. 1t
has ball room which covers more than
half an acre floored with wooden mosaic,
q Chinese room furnished in teak wood,
Japanese room and other conceits.

very slight CLEAN of curiosity lighting up
for a moment his calm. gray eye.
You are ON a fantastic trail" he sheer
ed. and that was all.
But I had not expected more. / had
merely wished to learn what place, II any.
this filgree ball held In his own suspicious
and in case he had over looked It, to jog
his curiosity so that he would in some way
betray It's whereabouts.
That. for all its seeming inconsequence
il did hold some place in his mind was evil
dent enough to those who knew him: but
that 1t was within reach or obtafnable by
any ordinary means was not plain. In
deed. very soon became convinced that
he. for one. had no Idea where 1t was, or
after the suggestive hint I had given him
