1--WE had never used Postum till last
spring when father brought home a
package n evening just to try it. We
had heard from W ~neighbors, and in
fact every one who used it, how well
they liked It.
"Well, the next morning Mother
brewed it about five minutes, just as
she had been in the habit Of doing
with coffee without paying special at
tention to the directions printed on
the package. 1t looked weak and
didn't have a very promising color, but
nevertheless father raised his cup
with an air of e~Xceptancy. 1t certain
ly did give him a great surprise, but
I'm afraid it wasn't a very pleasant
one. for he put down his cup with a
look of disgust.
Mother wasn't discouraged though,
and next morning gave it another trial,
letting it stand on the stove till boil
Ing began and then letting it boil for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and this
time we were all so pleased with it
that we have used it over since.
Father was a confirmed d~yspeptic
and a cup of coffee was to him like poi
son. So he never drinks it any more,
but drinks Postum regularly. He isn't

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with a scream from
Dorothy Marche in the opera box of Mrs
Missioner, a wealthy widow, 1t is oc-
casioned when Mrs. Missioner's necklace
breaks, scattering the diamonds all over
the floor. Curtis Griswold and Bruxton
Sands, society men in love with Mrs. MIS-
sioner, gather up the gems. Griswold
steps on what Is supposed to be the cele-
brated Maharanee and brushes It. A Hin
doc declares it was not the genuine. An
expert later ~pronounces all the stones
substitutes for the original. Detectives
Donnelly and Carson investigate. They
decide that the theft of the original gems
was accomplished by some one in the
house. Miss Elinor Holcomb, confidential
companion of Mrs. Missioner. Is sus-
pected. One of the missing diamonds Is
found In her room. Mrs. Missioner pro-
tests that Elinor Is innocent. but she Is
taken to prison. Meantime, in an up
town mansion, two Hindoos, who are In
America to recover the Maharance, DIS

session OF his soul. He became sub
merged In deep meditation. in which
he sought to arrange in consecutive
order the information gathered by
Donnelly and Carson. The conviction
forced itself on his mind that Miss
Holcomb's arrest was based on cir
cumstance from which more than
one inference might be drawn. The
fact that she knew the combination or
Mrs. Missioner's safe did not mean, OF
course, hat she took the jewels. On
the surface, 1t looked as If hers was
the exclusive opportunity to possess
herself Of the gems, outside OF Mrs.
Missioner herself. But Britt felt that
the depth of the case had not been
sounded; in fact, that the surface had
not even been penetrated.
The only thread that connected
Miss Holcomb with the theft was the
diamond found In her room. But to
Britz's experienced mind, this circum-
stance pointed rather toward limo
cence than guilt. For, he argued, If
she had taken those jewels, h would
not have been so careless as to leave
one of them in her boudoir. That dia-
mond, Britt was convinced, was
placed there intentionally and with
sinister purpose by a hand other than
Miss Holcomb's.
Britt rose from his seat, donned his
topcoat and hat, and made his way to
the tier Of cells one of which held
Miss Holcomb. He encountered Don
nelly and Carson on the way.
What time are you going to ar
ra1gn herr" he asked.
Right now Donnelly replied. We
got the magistrate to hold court an
hour longer for u.s."
A turnkey swung open the iron door
OF the cell. The detectives found Miss
Holcomb huddled in a corner, the
wan light of the corridor falling on
her ~tear-bathed face.
Don't take me back! They want
to harm me! l haven't done any
thing" she cried, when she saw the
visitors. Britt stepped forward with
an air of command and waved the
other detectives back. He scraped his
shoulders through the cell door and
sat on the rude cot, facing the woman.
