seated in the center of the room, gagged and
bound securely to a chair, while the strange captor
had utterly and mysteriously disappeared. No
definite trace of him had been discovered up to a
late hour, though in the one clue left behind him
lay the most remarkable part of the whole affair;
for pinned to the injured burglar breast was a
placard bearing the following hurriedly scrawled
inscription:

goods until return of present owner Doesn't look vau-
able; but he is.

certain officials to whether not any robbery
had occurred at all. True, in the Tivoli Arms
had certainly taken place, and two persons were
eye witnesses; yet, concerning the very existence
of valuable gems purportng to be stolen, there was
room for question. The person left for the atten-

mysterious young had vanished in the night,
leaving no luggage other clues by which he
might be identified.

two hours. On leaving. this visitor suggested cold
