said the lieutenant, were the hardest
TO catch. Il call them the second
batch OF thieves because they are the
fellows who stole Mrs. Missioner's
Jewels long after the stones were
stolen from her"
And who may they be-" Manning
persisted.
"They are the dark men-the Hin
docs whose connection with the case
complicated 1t much more than was
comfortable, and who gave further
proof Of their inconsiderate DISPOSE
tions by making the doctor here and
me SO uncomfortable Just before we
came back to Headquarters"
You mean they are the men who
robbed Mrs. Missioner Of her 1ewels?"

was astonished. Manning concealed
his surprise. He said:
We'll. l suppose you've got the
goods on him-or herr"
II have and 1 haven't" the detec-
tive answered. while only one per-
SON stole the diamonds, there's been
i whole troop Of potential thieves
after the stones. They've been work
Ing at cross-purposes. with the natural
result that they played unconsciously
Into the hands Of the n all Of them

Fitch and Manning eyed each other
Quizzically. Britt had worked hard
on the case and had succeeded when
success seemed impossible. II he
wished to indulge in a slightly enig-
NAUTICAL preamble, surely 1t was not
asking too much to humor him.
Britt gnawed a black cigar, unlight
ed, and whirled about two orlithree
times before he took UP the thread OF
his recital again.
Its a long story" he resumed. TT
took a lot Of piecing to put it to
gether, but it's as plain now as a pic
ture puzzle when all the cut-outs fit
In the first place, Griswold planned
to get the jewels q long time ago-a
couple of years, ! fancy. He didn't
content himself with mere planning
He did . lot Of work while he was
waiting for his opportunity. He
knew the value OF the Missioner neck,
lace. OF course. especially the value
a the biz Maharanee diamond that
was ita central stone. AZ nearly as
can make out his scheme. he hoped to
steal the collarette and dispose OF II
months before It should be missed BY
Y Mr.. Missioner. The only way to dc
that. or course, was to substitute an
imitation for the genuine article
Naturally, too, the imitation had to Be
made without Mr.. Missioners knowl

INDIGESTION GOES.
f. J. Parman Sells Best Prescription
on the Money Back
Plan.

Almost everybody knows that sick
headache, nervousness and dizziness,
are caused by disordered stomach.
Upset stomach and indigestion
happen just. because the food you
eat does not digest-but lies in the
stomach and ferments or turns sour.
You can stop fermentation and
stomach distress in five minutes by
using MONA stomach tablets, a
prescription that has done more to
cure indigestion and put the stomach
in fine condition than all the special
,sts on earth.
A large so cent box of MI-O-NA
stomach tablets is all you need to
get quick and lasting relief. E. ].
Parman guarantees them.
