"And does courtesy to your guests

kissing them?
There is one guest that shall

'And you can take her word against

tied it behind in mans queue From
the same closet she took slender
sword and pair of heavy pistols.
She went back softly into the bou-

secret drawer she drew a purse filled
with gold pieces, sovereigns of Eng

found was a trife over 100000, the

he had acted as an extra servant at
house parties. Forged references and
month of faithful service enabled
him to get a position with Sir Archi.
bald Hunter, who was the respected
younger son of an aristocratic but
not particularly wealthy family. In
due course of time he formed one of
the Inhabitants Of Sir William Hart's
house in the name and capacity Of
John Martin, valet and attendant to
his master, Sir Archibald.
Martin made a great show OF In.
structing the servants, but his sole
object was to become Intimately &C.
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 ana stalrcases, una tho
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 re-
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 Harris
room. He had not thought Of robbery
at that particular moment, but the
sight Of Lady Hart leaving her room
and the jewels lying exposed on the
dressing-table proved too strong q
temptation for his avaricious 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 a 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 servttude to which b was
sentenced.

A visit to the ONCE of the railroad

ed at the first station this side Of
London
The trail was becoming interesting.
It 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 q
thick thumb.
Most startling of all, the prints on
the cab door and those on the un-
washed glass were identical.
"Cabby," said the detective. you
know where you took your customer
last night?"
"Sure!"
'Take me there at once"
The cabman harnessed up his We.
hicle and drove of with the detective
as his passenger. In about ten min
utes he halted before a mean-looking
frame house in the suburbs. Sweeney
alighted and raped at the door Wig
orously. After long wait, q smooth
shaven man in his shirt sleeves re-
sponded. The detective was keyed
up to his responsibility. He did not
give the man time to speak. but said
sharply:
Good morning, Mr.. Martini
The man drew back.
How did you know" he began.

defiance. he cried: my names not
Martin"
"Oh, yes, it u.s." was the cheerful re-
spouse, you're John Martin"
WELL" was the logged response,
what do you want?'
Il want Lady Harris gems" snapped
the detective.
That night John Martin was behind
prison bars and Lady Hart's precious
gems had been restored to her.

servant. I doubt whether anyone has
left the premises tonight"
"Then one of your guests must be
guilty." retorted the detective quichly.
"Stop-stop at that" was the angry
retort; IF you find it necessary to sus.
pect my guests your work shall stop
at once"
II propose that the credentials of
every one of your servants be care
fully investigated-and that the ante
cedents of every servant belonging to
your guests be probed.'
The suggestion met with so much
opposition that it was abandoned. The
detective remained in the library until
nearly midnight. He seemed to have
run up against a dead wall. But he
had been doing lot of thinking. AS he
started to leave one of the servants
tapped on the door.
What is it?"cried Sir William i'm
patiently.
"A telegram for Lord Mortimer"
was the response.
Lord Mortimer was the impecunious
earl The host was instantly all at
tention. He took the telegram and
excused himself to the detective.
Pardon me q moment until I give
this to Mortimer"
He left the room and was gone 10
or Is minutes. He returned with q
perplexed look.
What is it," asked the detective.
"Mortimer's not in his room. and
can't locate him anywhere.
"Of course" he said almost rudely,
there's no significance in his alb
sence from his room. He's about
somewhere"
"Of course" assented Sweeney,
tactfully.
The detective remained at the house
all night. When he departed for Scot
land Yard in the morning he carried
with him an ordinary drinking glass
"a dirty glass that looked 40 il it
might have contained stale ale the
night before. He had picked it up in
one Of the rooms Of the house and
the care he bestowed upon it almost
bordered on the ludicrous. He seemed
particularly anxious not to permit the
glass to rub against anything.
An hour later chance visitor at
Scotland Yard might have witnessed
curious experiment being made with
an ordinary drinking glass. The ex-
pertinent was success. The opera
tive discovered on the glass the i'm
prints Of four fingers and q thumb.
The marks were perfectly distinct and
the finger and thumb prints had been
reproduced perfectly on sensitized
paper.

be ten cents, and everybody will be
expected to buy at least one. And
the charity girls will give no change

as to the best manner in which that
