The Dublin Castle Jewels.

An amazing explanation of the Dub
lin jewel mystery is put forward by a
Dublin correspondent who signs him
self Lex" in the Globe. 1t is briefly
and this has been more than once
limited at during the past few days
that the insignia has not been stolen
at all, but merely kept out of the way
till after the royal visit in order that
there might be no Installation.
The correspondent implies that this
solution of the mystery has been form
ulated by Sir A. Conan Doyle. His
reasons are these: In the first place,
the Bedford tower is the one building
in the castle into which the most en-
terprising burglar would fird it hope
less to effect an entrance unobserved.
His second argument is. based on the
nature of the articles stolen. The
Most Illustrious Order of the Knights
of st. Patrick was expressly founded
to consolidate a union between Eng
land and Ireland. In view of recent
events the investiture of a knight
would possess unusual significance
and the quieter matters appear in
Dublin the smaller figure will the
Sim Fein party cut.
Lex" recalls a recent conversation
with a prominent member of the Irish
revolutionary organization. The sub
ject was how, in view of some of Lord
Castletown's utterances, he had been
selected for the vacant ribbon. The
reply was: ut matters little; there
will be no installation, at least not in
July"
Two questions, he adds, will suggest
themselves to anyone who has looked
into the very peculiar circumstances of
this latest sensation:
First-Assuming the safe to have
been locked, why did the theft he
was thief-leave it open when his
operations were complete?
Second-Why, out of twenty-four
gold collars, were only five distracted?
1t is quite evident that the removal,
If there was a removal, must have
been effected in daylight which meant
that the operator dare not carry or
conceal a parcel sufficiently bulky to
attract attention. This suggests the
explanation n question No. /
On the theory first stated the star
and five collars merely would be re-
moved as being amply sufficient to pre-
vent the installation, owing to the i'm
possibility of having duplicates manu-
featured within the time. It may be
added that the author of this ingenious
explanation is quite convinced that the
star and collars will mysteriously re-
appear at an early date. Indeed, a ru-
NOR is surrent in certain circles in
Dublin that the Jewels have been
found, but that the authorities in Dub
lin castle are in no hurry to disclose
the fact and make certain officials
