The effect of that command upon
the prisoner startled everyone. Not

involuntarily loose his hold on the man

that you tell me the mans name,
Britz said.
His name?" she returned wonder
ingly.
1T is Curtis Griswold, isn't it?" said
the Headquarters man incisively.
Mrs. Delaroche, with a little cry
which showed more emotion than any
one would expect from SO self-centered
a woman, sprang to her feet and ad
vanced toward Britz with hands out
stretched in protest.
you don't mean to say that you be
lieve Mr.. Griswold to be a thief" she
exclaimed.
I'VE shall see, madam" rejoined
Britt, how successful he has been in
at least one robbery"
Inside this little casket," he said
"are jewels worth more than half s
million dollars. Please let me have the
key to this jewel box"
Reluctantly. she unfastened a slen
der gold chain that hung about hel
neck, from which depended tiny sill

and turned the bolt. Triumphantly he
seized the lid, and as everyone else II

would drag a word from the captive.
though it might be said he broke it in
way, for the furious looks he cast
at the pajama squad were almost audi
BILE. Those looks caused several of
the squads doughty heroes suddenly
to realize the Internationally OF
their attire, and to send them precip-
itously in search of dressing gowns.
One or two of them remained, how
ever, and the house detective, who, In
hotels as frostily patrician as the
Renaissance, did not often have an
opportunity to hold the center of the
stage, was fairly we'll content with
his audience.
Now, then, you'll" he said brusque'
ly addressing the prisoner, speak UP.
What were you doing here?"
HE got my jewels" cried Mrs. Del
aroche.
The prisoner turned one Of his sui
len looks upon her, but, conscious that
she was robed as daintily as the most
fastidious society actress in the Du
Barryest of bedroom scenes could be.
her equanimity was not so vulnerable
as that Of the deserters from the pa
jana squad.
''He took the whole case of jewels
from under my pillow" she continued,
addressing the house detective. They
must be in his possession still, unless
he dropped them while he was running
away"
1--WE will soon find out" said the
leading man. Jim. so through him."
Jim only shrugged those fullback
shoulders when the burglar attempted
to petrify him with look, and his
search through the prisoners pockets
was thorough. Mrs. Delaroche gasped
her delight when from the captive's
coat the porter drew forth heavy sill
yer casket, and held 1t toward her.

asked the house detective.

CHAPTER XXI.
Hot on the Scent.

every window. He found marks on
one of the easements that told his
practiced eye entry to the apartment

by some one skilled in daring burg.
larry. 1t gave on the fire escape. Britz
flung up the sash and looked out. AS
he expected, there was a long string
of ladders and balconies that ended
one story above the street. The fire
escape was at the least frequented
end of the big hotel, and an awning
threw shadow from an arc lamp on
the globe big enough to afford oppor-
tunity 70! an agile man to mount on
the shoulders of comrades, grasp the
second-story window and swing him
self up unseen. He let his eyes fall
on the balcony one story below the
window. On it lay something yellow,
Britt ran down the ladder and re-
turned to the room with the object.
1t was an Oriental handkerchief such
as he had seen in the Swamis pos
session.
1t was perfectly plain to Britt that
the Hindoos had been beforehand
with him in recovering the Missioner
Jewels. BY this time he knew enough
to be certain that their object in get.
ting possession of the gems was even
stronger than the professional pride
that had actuated him to recover them
for their owner. He was aware they
had reason yet to be explained why
they were in such a desperate hurry
to take the stones of the necklace, or
at least one of them-the Maharanee
to India Even now they might be
aboard a vessel that would put to sea
in a few hours, leaving no trace Of
their departure. Or, it might be they
were beyond the city limits on their
way to another port of exit. He
must stop them at all hazards. He
leaped to the telephone, called Police
Headquarters, got Manning on the
wire, and asked the Chief to give per-
sonal attention to the request he was
about to make.
Notify all precincts" said Britt,
ito stop every man of Oriental APP
pearance attempting to leave the city
by boat or train. Have all the ferries
watched, and send a double detail to
the Grand Central Station. Telephone
the Associated Press for list of the
vessels about to sail today; have the
water front watched for tramp steam
ers, and don't forget the small craft.
both sail and steam"
"Jave you found the jewels?" asked
Manning, at the other end of the
wire.
moi" roared Britz, "but will have
them in few hours, If you'll make
the bunch hustle to help me. Will
you attend to all this yourself. Chief?"
Britz found Doctor Fitch waiting
for him on the sidewalk, as he had ar
ranged before entering the apartment
of Mrs. Delaroche in the guise of a
burglar, and in single word told the
physician how he had been baked in
the chief object of his nocturnal visit.
"Quick's the word now, doc!" said
Britt
where are you going?" asked
Fitch.

"One day." said Mr.. Tillman, 'his

old JEFF asked to have few days off

ARE GENERAL.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 31.-Corn that
promises to reach full maturity before

in many fields this year along the lines
Of the Great Northern road in North
Dakota, and according to reports to
the office of w. P. Kenney, traffic
manager, the outlook Is for a produc-
ton Of feedstuff far in excess of the
average. ]. G. Woodwork, traffic
manager Of the Northern Pacific, has
reports of the same nature. North
Dakota, which has never figured as inn
portant in corn production, promises
this year to produce three times as
much as ever before.
The Minneapolis and ST. Louis road
has patches Of corn along it's lines in
South Dakota that show advanced
growth. H. ]. Wagon, superintendent
Of the Chicago g. Northwestern road
at Winona, reports all crops in excel
lent condition. The Chicago Great
Western has the best corn prospect
ever known in southern Minnesota and
northern Iowa. On the new line of the
Milwaukee, according to reports to
the Office of Supt ]. H. Foster. there
has been much corn put in, which is
In fine stage of growth.
Prof. A. d. Wilson, o. M. Olson and
c. P. Bull of the agricultural college,
whose duties have taken them over
the state extensively in the past few
days, report that the crop outlook is
very good. Yellow Medicine and Lac
