night before. He had picked 1t up in

the care he bestowed upon 1t almost
bordered on the ludicrous. He seemed

The trail was becoming interesting.
IL was followed until it led to the
station this side of London. The only
cabman at that station was awakened
from his slumbers to answer the ques-
tions of the detective. He was a
typical might hawk" Yes, he had
answered, he had one customer that
night. Could he let the representa-
tive from Scotland Yard look at his
cab? Most assuredly he felt compli-
mented at such attention. The ram
shackle old vehicle was found in the
stable. A careful examination was
made. The result was remarkable.
There were five distinct spots on
the dirty cab door and they were
the imprints Of four fingers and a
thick thumb.

Most startling of all. the prints on
the cab door and those on the un-
washed glass were identical.

quainted with the geography OF the
house. Under the guise of carefully
examining possible exits in case of
fire, of arranging where hydrants
should be stationed, inspecting the win
dows, doors and stalrcases, and the
general structure of the house, Martin
was not only able to get an accurate
idea of where the various rooms were
situated but he became acquainted
also with many points OF detail impor-
tant to his contemplated enterprise
He left Sir Williams house with his
master on the night before the con-
clusion of the house party SO that his
alibi in that connection was SECURE
enough, but he made it a point to e.
turn on the following night. Being
well known to all of the servants he
met with no obstacle and actually
found his way to the corridor of the
second story leading to Lady Hart's
room. He had not thought of robbery
at tha. particular moment, but the
sight t;$ Lady Hart leaving her room
and the jewels lying exposed on the
dressing sable proved too strong a
lOI lib dNdIlClOuS nature.
He quickly slipped in, put the jewels
in his pockets, and then calmly min
gled with the other servants. Later
on he was the man who went out to
the gate-keeper and instructed him
not to permit anyone to leave the
house that night, and after sending
the man on FOOLS errand, he coolly
marched out of the grounds He took
the first train to the London suburb
and hoped by the next day to be able
to dispose of his loot His one mis-
take was in pausing in the servants
hall long enough to drink the ale out
of dirty glass. The impress of his
fingers on the glass and on the cab
door at the suburban station proved
to be his undoing and furnished food
for contemplation in the long term Of
penal servitude to which he was
sentenced.
