CHAPTER II.
The Man Of Action.


The conference that followed in the
quiet of Mrs. Missioners library
threw no light on the mystery Of the
Maharanee's disappearance. Mrs.
Missioner was not of the fainting
tyne. and when she entered her Fifth
Avenue home, followed by Dorothy,
Sands, and Griswold, she went
straight to the room In which she
kept her Jewels.
Mrs. Missioner herself switched on
the lights to their full radiance. She
hastened across the room, her opera
cloak slipping from her white shout
ders. and paused in front of the safe.
"You don't expect to find your dia-
mond there?" inquired Griswold amaz-
edly
perhaps all the otne~ stones are
PASTE" she answered. I am going to
see how many have been stolen
She dropped to her knees before
the steel door of the bank-like vault
built into the wall, and turned the
nickel knob to right and left. The
door, painted to harmonic with the
Flemish OAK Of the wainscot, was
ornamented with only the Widows
crest Silence held the others as her
gloved fingers whirled the little knob.

left the stones of the necklace on the
table and strolled over to stare at the
rubies and emeralds, the sapphires
and tourmalines and amethysts, above
all at the unrivaled group of diamonds
graded from firef1y's sparkle to the
gloryburst Of radium.
Mrs. Missioner drew from a shelf
in the jewel box catalogue of her
treasures. Item by item she read
from it, the others checking tray by

Missioner's lorgnon bag, into which
she had slipped the recovered gems
on leaving her opera box.
eyes," the widow replied, "but, Brux-
ton, the Maharanee, the beautiful Ma
haranee diamond! If you could know
how I prize it,"
Sands, absently counting the lesser
jewels, did not see the massive safe
door swing open. His disciplined mind
was working slowly, steadily. Doro-
thy, her small face cameo clear in the
intense light of the mercury, watched
the shining gems as the millionaire's
strong fingers ficked them del1cately
from the silken bag to the table.
Plainly she, too, was cropping for a
clew. Griswold alone, therefore, saw
the widows gloved hand tremble as,
swiftly, she turned smaller knob
controlling the combination Of the
compartment in which she kept her
jewels. His eyes still upon her, he
felt for q cigarette.
The match fell from his fingers as
the inner door opened to his search
ing glance Lances of many-colored
light slashed the comparative gloom
of the compartment as Mrs. Missioner
brought Forth tray after tray from the
jewel vault. The steel box in the CEN
ter of the safe was an Aladdin's cave
in miniature. 1t held stones Of every
sort In settings Of every fashion,
ranging from the product Of twentieth
century jewelers. back to the loved
works Of Byzantine artificers. Little
Miss March gasped again as the wild
ow spread the trays On the Persian
rug.
The widows guests saw what few
persons other than Mrs. Missioner had
seen-all the Missioner Jewels at once.
The gems were the collection of
lifetime. Missioner, in the intervals
of amassing millions, had devoted
himself to gathering them from the
earth's four corners.
You have an inventory, Of course p
asked Sands. Even his sturdy ind1-
viduality paid passing tribute to the
magnifcence of the collection. He

said to Sands, "and l can't find the
diamond anywhere"
The millionaire slipped banknote
into the mans hand.
TRY again" he said quietly.
There's a good deal more than this
in it for you If you find It,"
Griswold, as he moved to let the
usher pass, stepped backward with
such abruptness as to drive his heel
sharply down upon something that
slipped under his tread like peach
kernel. In the very moment when
Mrs. Missioner, resuming her talk
with the Oriental, said, with empha-
sis, II leave limitations to others,
that laundering heel crushed into and
through the velvet carpet, crushed,
against the unyielding hardwood of
spicuous diamond in all the richly
jeweled collarette-crushed 1t until
only tiny heap of pallid powder lay
there, save where great flake had
slipped from the pressure and remain
ed to betray what the little pile of
dust had been.
THE Maharanee!" gasped Dorothy
The widow paled.
The light in the Ortentals eyes far
ed to a fame. With a smile as in
scrutable as his thoughts, he leaned
across the low partition, picked up
pinch Of the powder and the telltale
fake and laid them deferentially on
Mrs. Missioner's outspread fan.
"Your maid is more cautious" he
said, his smile softening slightly, "or,
it may be, your jeweler has made g
mistake"
Mrs. Missioner did not faint. She
only c,utched the soft hand Of little
Miss March SO tightly that the de-
butante with difficulty suppressed a
scream This time there was silence
in the Missioner box, for Grtswold,
even as he began to stammer an apo1-
ogy for his awkwardness, let the
words die on his lips as he saw the
cruel pallor Of the widows face. The
silence of Sands was grim, that OF
the Oriental suavely self-efecing.
Then" said Mrs. Missioner at last,

There have been held during the

s~titutes, all of which have been well

agricultural endeavor by the farmers

have done much to stimulate and en-

work has been greatly hindered be-

When the city council meets next
Monday evening, it will be confronted
with the question as to whether 1t
will grant franchise on Union street
to the Salem, Falls City & Western
Railroad company over the mayors
veto as Mayor Lachmund this morn
ing returned the ordinance granting
this franchise to Judge Elgin with
his dlsapproval and to make it law
now, such action would be necessary
by the council
The mayor filed with his veto no
statement declaring his objections to
the granting of the franchise, but
when seen stated that he would make
a verbal statement outlining his rea-
sons at the Monday meeting of the
council. While until he makes this
statement his reasons will not be
known in detail, it is understood that
his main objections are that the life
of the franchise-95 years, is too
long; that the portion of the road
passing through the city should be
electrified and that no franchise
should be granted the road beyond
where 1t makes connection with the
Oregon Electric on High street The
vetoed ordinance gives the road a
franchise as far as Capitol street.
Mayor Lachmund has indicated
that if the company will accept those
changes that he will have no objec-
tion to the franchise, and he believes
that it will so accept. AS the coun'
ell now stands, it is in a position tc
pass the ordinance over the mayors
veto but whether 1t will remain un'
changed and do so Monday evening
: remains to be seen.
