i" HE necklace! Of course the necklace!
 |ssWSS But, then," I objected aft, ta&xsSsD CT a moment, If your theo- rvs correct we're going right away from the necklace You said that Ire maine had hidden it at Edgemere."
 Yes. but he's no such fool as to come away and leave it hidden there. He's not the man to make the mistake Miss Croydon made-to conceal thing in q place where he can't get it again without exciting suspicion. No, no; he took the necklace with him to New York. He ran no risk in doing that. Everything had happened just as he hoped it would. There was absolutely no suspicion against him." ....
 "He may have hidden it somewhere else in the meantime observed.
 "Yes, he may have done that" ad mitted Godfrey, 'and yet why should he? He has no reason to believe that any such suspicion attaches to him. He'll naturally wish to keep the pearls by him until he has a chance to sell them, one by one. He can't do that yet. He'll probably arrange a trip to Europe to get rid of them. If the neck lace is concealed at all it's concealed somewhere in his rooms. And if it's there we'll find it!'

 We took the Thirty-fourth street ferry and ten minutes later were in cab hurrying downtown.

 He jumped out. paid the driver and hastened up the steps, after him. As we entered the room I saw that clock registered half past 10.
 Hello, Simmonds." said Godfrey to a grizzled, stockily built man who had sprung to his feet as we entered. "All alone?"
 "Yes. The other boys have turned in"
 That's good. I've got something big for you.''
 simmonds' face flushed with sudden emotion.
 "Reallyw he stammered. Have you realy?"
 "The biggest catch that's been made in many a day. But remember our agreement-yours the glory, mine the scoop. Not word of this to anybody before daybreak."
 of course not: of course not" as- sented Simmonds, rubbing his hands together eagerly. What is itf'
 You've read about that murder and robbery at the Delroy place near Baby. lon?'
 "Yes, certainly. They've got the mur dercr in jail down there."
 "No. they haven't" retorted Godfrey sharply. We're going to have him in jail here inside of twenty minutes"
 Simmonds' eyes began to glisten.
 That would be big thing" he said. "Are you sure of the many"
 Dead sure. But see here, Sim monds. I haven't time to tell you the whole story now: only assure you, on my word, that I've evidence against the man which will convict him of one murder and perhaps of two. Is that enough?' "Yes." said Simmonds instantly. and he opened a drawer from which he took pistol and a pair of handcufTs. "All right" he added, turning back to us. That's good. Better have a lantern, too, though"
 Think so?"
 He took down a little dark lantern, lighted it. tested 1t and put it in his pocket. Now I'm ready. Have we far to yo?r
 "Oh. no: just across the street.
 Siinmonds started with astonish- nent. You don't mean the Marathony- he said. Just that" But who Is it we're going aftcrT "A fellow named Tremaine.-
