 The detective reluctantly removed his legs from the table and followed the lawyer to secluded corner of the room, where the two conversed for several min utes At the close of the conference Levy shook the forid mans hand with effusion. Monahan, on hs part was shaking his head.
 Then you'll send her up this evening" asked Levy:
 Sure answered Monahan & I i ssd send ,n her up ii
 Don't you think she'll do it?"
 Shell do anything say, you bet on that" re- piled the detective I'll see to that part ot it all right And she's the queen of em all but
 Then that's all right" Levy said, hastily Don't you worry about anything. See you later
 He backed off, waved his plump hand in farewell, and quickly away, leaving Monahan still shaking his head doubtfuy.
 Levy had the honor of receiving the royalty men toned by his friend in his own office at the time ap- pointed. She was young woman apparently; Tn fact, her youth rather apparent than real, as Levy s keen eyes discovered very attractive-look- ing woman, in way Perhaps a triie overdressed. a little vergng upon gorgeousnesS the matter of jewell ry but-"I guess you'll do."

 The visitor smiled You can get my Bertillon by applying the proper quarter, she remarked, but guess you'll be able to swear to me without It.
 "Sit down, Kate" said Levy affably. Now I'll tell you in a mighty few words what want with you"

 Didn't I tell you 1t hxed?' asked the lawyer. "That part of it is all right"
 Then guess I'll make 'em thousand apiece and shake the town" she said lightly.
 Levy drowned. You'll do exactly what tell you, he declared sterny, pulling some slips of paper from his vest pocket You'll take these, and you'll bring the stuff back here to me"
 The woman took the slips and glancing at them, smiled as if something amused her. Then she laid them down on Levys desk

 "A new dress and hat"
