CHAPTER Xxx.
Kananda's Mission.

Kananda and the Swami, In the up
town bachelor apartment whittier they
sped from the Fifth avenue ballroom,
bent about table on which were
spread various diagrams. All, Mrs.
Missioner's servant, stood at re-
spectful distance He wore a con-
cerned look that intimated he had
been subjected to some pretty stin
questioning by his masters. The high
caste Orientals paid little attention to
him. They leaned over the table I'M

with pencils. and pausing to make
hurried calculations on the margins OF
the sheets. At length the Swami
leaned back and gazed fixedly ut the
prince.
1T Is evident we're on the right
track at last" he said. "Chunda and
Gazim could not have done their
work thoroughly"
They didn't do 1t at all. when 1t
comes to that" answered the prince.
Instead of finding only loose end
OF the thread, they ought to have un.
tangled the whole skein."
However" said the Swami, this
note shows my original suppositions
were accurate. The jewels were Ia

The scholars imperturbability was
proof against Kananda's violence OF
word and manner. The only sign he
gave was slight tightening OF his
fingers as they clasped his arms, and
a lightning look straight into the eyes
of the young man across the table. 1t
was in a tone of perfect control that

His calmness reminded the Prince
OF his own Oriental origin. The We
hemence he had acquired In western
lands slipped from him like loosened
robe. In an instant. under his out
ward seeming of an English or Amer
lean man -abQut-town. he repossessed
the composure Of his race.
"Sorry." he said with little forced
laugh. Rather bad, you know, to
take things to heart that way. but
this really is serious proposition.

In the Indians Clothes
Whats the name?" asked Fitch.
"Millicent Delaroche," answered the
detective.
That's the lady" answered the
physician. The same name is on that
envelope Griswold gave the messen-
ger. She lives in the"
Hotel Renaissance" said Britt de-
cisively. Doctor. I tell you we're get
ting warm. AS the kids say, We're
burning up!'"
A conference followed, in the course
of which Britt. Fitch and Rawson
elaborated plan to ascertain whether
the jewels Millicent Delaroche men
toned in her note to Griswold were
the original Missioner diamonds, or
merely gems the clubman had bought
for her. To learn that fact was not
so easy as it sounded. With weeks
at his command. Britt could have
gained the knowledge in a roundabout
way, but he had no such time There
were not even days to spare; there
were not even hours to waste. Britt
knew as well as If he saw it in black
and white that the Orientals. both of
nigh and low caste, were centering all
their subtlety. skill and ingenuity
upon the possession of Mrs. Mission
er's jewels-anyway, the Maharanee
diamond-and he sensed the impor-
lance of anticipating them before the
night was over. That realization was
based on the assumption that the
contents of the Millicent note as yet
were unknown to the more important
OF the Hindoos. Britt knew the men
he had caught in Bruxton Sands room
could not get word to the Swami nor
to Prince Kananda before the morn
ing. He had taken care to prevent
that by rushing a note to the captain
of the Tenderloin precinct, requesting
that the prisoners, instead of being
taken to the night court, should be
held at least for the morning session
In Jefferson Market His zeal led him
to lose no time In heading off the ORR
entails. even with the burglars bottled
up for twelve hours or SO. Had he
guessed he himself had helped to con-
vey the letter from the Hindoo cap
tives to their Brahmin master, he
would have been twice as Jealous,
though 1t is doubtful he could have
worked more rapidly than he did after
his talk with Fitch and Rawson in
the seclusion of his own office.
In pursuance of the plan arranged
in that conference, Rawson went to
the Renaissance and got from the
management all that was known there
concerning Millicent Delaroche. She
was Mrs. Delaroche. whether wife.
widow or divorcee the management
could not tell She had been In the
hotel several months; she had one of
the most luxurious suites in the big
building, and she seemed to be boun-
tifully supplied with money. Her
gowns were gorgeous, and when she

AS a result of the work Of the Board

new adding machine industry as soon

the company, who has been I'm the

those now in use, the chief OF these
being an elimination OF all springs In

Of structure which enables il TO do
more work with greater accuracy. The
mechanism is operated altogether by

the Detroit producing companies. AT
best, Niagara power can supply only
small portion of the needs of the

situation, land I do not believe that
the power can be put into the city
as cheaply as II is furnished by the

loss through the cable under the

With GREAT
PROMISE
Outlook for Brisk Season in All
Branches Never Better, Say Those
Familiar With the
Situation.
Extension of Street Car Lines Will
Give Great Impetus To Building
In Outlying Districts.

The weekly report OF the Builders
and Traders exchange shows a large
amount Of work in progress and con-
ditions generally are very favorable.
Not lin many years has the outlook at
the beginning OF April been more
promising for a brisk season In every
department OF the building industry.
Builders as well as real estate men
are greatly interested in the efforts
now being made by the mayor TO Sc
cure needed extensions Of the street
car lines. There Is every prospect
that the mayors plan will go through
without a hitch and that work on the
extensions will start within a very
short time. Chis will give decided
impetus to building activities In the
outlying sections OF the city, where
the development. in some instances,
has been slow on account OF lack
OF transportation facilities.

have been awarded during the week.
