In Case of a Fall.

Not enough attention is paid to the
falls of childhood. Mothers get so
used to children tumbling around that
they take it quite lightly unless bones
are broken.
1t should be remembered that in
juries to the soft bones Of child
may do permanent harm. especially if
there be a head hurt
Keep the child quiet for a time who
has had hard fall, battle the part
freely with some soothing lotion, and
If there seems to be trouble that does
not yield to simple home remedies,
send for a doctor at once.

CHAPTER xxVl.-(Continued.)

"Perjurer!" she screamed. Liar!
Migrate! Thief"
Each word was like the snap of a
lash that brought wincing start from
Griswold as if a black snake whip
had stung him. He stretched his
hands toward her imploringly.
"Millicent!" he cried.
Never call me by that name again"
she almost screamed. 'T wish l could
forget every occasion on which you
have dared to utter it. You wretch"
and she wrung her hands futilely, as
If she would like to clasp them about
his throat.
Fitch opened the door softly and
looked in. Behind him stood Elinor
Holcomb and Detective Williams. At
sign from Britt, they entered the
room noiselessly and stood beside the
door. Before Williams could close it
upon them, Mrs. Missioner and Brux-
ton Sands appeared on the threshold.
Mrs. Delaroche turned to Britt in
cold fury, an icy reaction from her
volcanic rage of the moment before.
81 will tell you all you wish to
know, lieutenant" she said. 81 will
tell you all l know about Mr.. Girls
void. He is the man." Mrs. Della
roche continued "who stole Mrs. Mis-
sioner's diamonds!"
The wealthy widow, standing near
the door, put her hand to her heart as
If about to faint from the shock.
Sands, his only thought being to sup
port her in such trying moment, for
got the presence of all the others,
and passed his arm about her Shout
ders to steady her slightly swaying
form. Elinor. with little sigh. turned
to Fitch and clasped both his hands
with unmistakable tenderness. Then

added in voice laden with the vim
dictiveness she felt.
The semicircle of listeners contract
ed until Mrs. Missioner, Miss Hol-
comb, Sands, and Fitch were close to
BritZ. The detective, turning to the
others, said:
9! have had the good fortune to re-
cover the Maharanee diamond for you,
Mrs. Missioner, and it remains only to
trace the other jewels of the necklace.
l dare say Prince Kananda can tell US
where they are
AS I told you over the telephone,
Lieutenant Britt" Mrs. Missioner an
swered, Il have recovered my jewels. "
"All?" asked the detective, slightly
astonished
AL" replied the widow Moreover,
do not care to prosecute anyone con-
nected with their disappearance"
mot the Hindoos who were respon-
sible for their second disappearance
is 1t possible you do not wish them to
be punished?" Britt expostulated.
II do not" said Mrs. Missioner
quietly. II understand their connec-
ton with the mystery thoroughly. In
spite of the drastic methods they pur-
sued, l do not blame them. They did
not seek the lesser stones OF the
necklace. In fact, those gems were re-
turned to me this morning by one of
the Orientals-a man of scholarly at
tainment and high character, whom l
met in the East. These devotees-
fanatics, If you will-have braved
death and Imprisonment to recover a
jewel which | take it Is precious in
their eyes as was the Holy Grail to
the Crusaders. 1t Is a question not
merely of religion, but of extreme
piety with them. Under such circum-
stances | cannot consent to appear
against them, nor to countenance any
attempt to punish them. Besides, there
was a mistake in the acquisition of the
Maharanee diamond. 1t belongs to
these men of the East They are free
to take it. l surrender all claim upon
It."
With an air of unmistakable respect
Britt turned toward the widow.
In the eyes Of the law" he said, ex-
tending the big Maharanee, this stone
is yours. You may do with it as you
choose"
Mrs Missioner accepted the stone,
permitting her eyes to linger mo-
nent on it's blazing splendor. Then
she wheeled abruptly and passed the
diamond to the Prince.
'1t is yours she said. Take it."
Kanandas eager fingers closed or
the gem.
Mrs. Missioner has restored your
property" Britz said, turning to the
Oriental, "and l dare say the Chief
will agree with me that it is not neces-
sary for us 10 take your case as far as
he District Attorneys Office. You and
your fellow countrymen are at liberty
to go. l advise you to go quickly be-
fore / get to thinking too strongly
about that little upside-down ride you
gave me in Riverside drive. / have
the honor to wish Your Royal High
ness a very good morning."
He made a mock obeisance as the
Hindoos, released from their shining
steel bonds, filed silently out of the
room

Manning will! procure your release in

Britt, without making move to in

Mrs. Delaroche to the crouching club

for her wealth, I suppose-it matters

were in her house as recognized,

Turning with panther's speed and
with it's steely strength. she adj
dressed herself again to Britt.
"Mr. Griswold." she said, gave me

explained that he wished me to take
