 Armitage carried the envelope which he had cut from Chauvenets coat pin ned into an inner pocket of his waist coat, and since boarding the King Ed ward he had examined 1t twice daily to see that 1t was intact. The three red wax seals were in blank. replacing those of like size that had originally been affixed to the envelope, and at once after the attack on the dark deck he opened the packet and examined the papers, some half dozen sheets of thin linen written in clerks clear hand in black ink. There had been no mis- take in the matter. The packet which Chauvenet had purloined from the old prime minister at Vienna had come again into Armitage's hands. He was daily tempted to destroy 1t and cast it in bits to the sea winds. but he was deterred by the remembrance of his last interview with the old prime min ister

 It was on the evening of bright April day that he thus established himself, and after he had unpaeked his belongings he stood long at the win dow and watched the lights leap out or the dusk over the city.

Foster George Charged With
Stealing $4,000 Worth.
TRACED BY DIAMONDS.
Stolen Gems Found i'm Various
Pawn Shops.
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
Worth Recovered.

st. Louis, Oct. 13.-The police of New
York, Chicago, and Kansas City were
notified by the st. Louis police last
night of the arrest of Foster George
on charge of stealing diamonds and
watches worth $S5. 900 from S. C. Powell,
a wholesale jeweler at ITO Broadway,
New York, and arrests are expected to-
day in those cities.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars worth
of the jewelry were recovered from
George yesterday and the rest is be-
heved to have been pawned. Diamonds
known to have been carried by Powell
when he left Chicago for ST. Louis,
June 29, have appeared in pawnshops
in ST. Louis, Kansas City and Chicago.
This led the detectives to believe that
an organized band was connected with
the robbery and this belief was not en-
tirely dispelled by the arrest of George
yesterday though he refeused last night
to name any accomplices.
