notes of some sort in little Eng
lish memorandum book, as if she haC
done it all her life; but Mr.. Pinney
could not see what she wrote. He was
careful, and watched the stones wheI
she took them in her fingers and hello
them on a sheet of white paper t.
look at them critically.
She bought nothing, and when She
| had seen all he had to show her, she
thanked him very much through Spiro
said she would come back another
day, and went out with a leisurely
oriental gait, as if nothing in the
world could hurry her. Mr.. Pinney
counted the stones again, and was go
ing to lock the box, when his second
man came in, having finished string
ing the duchess pearls. At the same
moment, it occurred to Mr.. Pinney
that he might as well go to luncheon
and that he had better put Logothetis
ruby into the little stronghold and
lock it up in the safe until he at last
had a chance to weigh it. He &C
cordingly took the screw of paper
from his waistcoat pocket, and as a
matter of formality he undid it once
more.
"Merciful Providence!" cried Mr..
Pinney, for he was a religious man.
The screw of paper contained a bit
of broken green glass. He threw his
keys to his shopman without another
word, and rushed out into the street
without his hat, his keen old face
deadly pale, and his beautiful frock-
coat flying in his wake.
He almost hurled himself upon a
quiet policeman
Thief" he cried. Two foreigners
in gray clothes-ruby worth ten thou
sand pounds just gone-Tm Pinney
the jeweler!"
You cannot astonish a London po-
liceman. The one Pinney had caught
looked quietly up and down the
street, and then glazed at his inter
locutor to be sure that it was he, for
he knew him by sight.
All right, ne said quickly, but very
quietly. I'll have them in minute,
sir, for they're in sight still. Better
go in while | take them, sir"
He caught them in less than a min
ute without the slightest difficulty,
and by some odd coincidence two 9TH
er policemen suddenly appeared quite
close to him. There was a little stir
in the street, but Baraka and Spiro
were too sensible and too sure of
themselves to offer any useless resis-
tance, and supposing there was some
misunderstanding they walked back
quietly to Mr. Pinney's shop between
two of the policemen, while the third
went for four-wheeler at the nearest
stand. which happened to be the cor
ner of Brook street and New Bond
street.
Mr.. Pinney recognized his late Gus
toners without hesitation. and went
with them to the police station, where
he told his story and showed the
piece of green glass. Spiro tried to
speak, but was ordered to hold his
tongue. and as no rubies were found
in their pockets he and Baraka were
led away to be more thoroughly
searched.

"All right?" he inquired.
Stemp looked him over carefully

electric light

Van Torp left the room at once. He

than ever in a perfectly new black

KNOCKS KOCH'S SCHEME.
6uhrer Doesn't Want County To Pay
Half Of police Justices Salaries.

County Auditor Buhrer does not
take kindly TO the suggestion OF City
Treasurer Koch. who advocates char
ter amendment providing that the
county of wayne pay half the salar-
ies OF the police justices.
Mr.. Koch gives as his reason that
the county draws about $4,000 year
from the police court In fines and
costs collected Mr.. Buhrer said. Il
wonder where he gets his figures. Our
books show that the county gets only
the costs assessed in police court, and
this amounted last year TO S5,095.
Against that the county paid. out In
stenographers' fees and other ex'
penses connected with the court
$3.50. so the county was out last
year S2,735 For all the work the
county sends into the police court this
