Drated Maharanee and brushes 1t. A Hin

notwithstanding Mrs. Missioner's belief
in her innocence. Detective Britz takes
DR.. Fitch. Elinor's hance, IN running
down the real criminal BritZ learns that
duplicates of Mrs. Missioner's diamonds
were made in Paris on the order OF
Elinor Holcomb. While walking Britz is
seized, bound and gagged by Hindoos. He
makes his escape. Britz discovers an in
sane diamond expert whom he believes
was employed by either Sands or Girls
void to make counterfeits of the Mission
er gems. Two Hindoos burglarize the
home of Sands and are captured by Britz.
On one of them he finds note signed
by "Millicent" and addressed to Curtis. !"
Britz locates a woman named Miincent
Delaroche, to whom Griswold has been
paying marked attentions. The Swami at
learns nothing further about the dia-
monds. Britz disguised as a thief. visits
the apartment of Millicent. He finds a
box that once contained the missing dia-
monds, but it is empty. The detective

is so far from being impossible that
it is the strict truth. Nor was the
theft the only crime of which the man
was guilty. In stealing that jewel, he
committed dreadful sacrilege.'
Mrs. Missioner was so overcome by
her emotions that she was obliged, in
spite of her intention. to sit down,
and therefore to extend to her visitor
an invitation to be seated also, before
she could get herself we'll enough in
hand to follow the Swami's narrative
calmly.
THAT diamond continued the sage,
''once blazed in the forehead of the
great Buddha, in the Temple of Delhi.
1t was revered by thousands, hundreds
of thousands, by millions, as the most
sacred work of the god; for tradition
says it was the undisputed property
of Buddha himself when ne walked
the earth in his latest incarnation"
Mrs. Missioner's lips were parted.
Her eyes were fixed upon the Orien-
tails in the intensity of her interest.
Zone night" the sage went on,
when band of militant priests as
signed to guard the shrine of Buddha
in the great Delhi temple relaxed it's
vigilance, a sacrilegious wretch-on
whose head be all the curses of all
the centuries made his way into
the heart of the sacred building, and
wrested the diamond from the brow
of the god That he was not blasted
in his tracks by the lightning of divine
wrath proves that the mind of the
god at that moment was shrouded in
meditation for the benefit Of his chill
dren. The stone was missed at dawn
Within the hour, armed men were
securing the city for the apostate
thief No trace of him was found.
The Maharajah of that kingdom, lax
though he had been in certain OBJ
servances of the faith, was too true a
son of the Temple to let the careless
priests go unpublished. By his order
they were seized, hundred of them,
and thrown into prison. A royal de-

How Artificial Furs Are Made.

The raw pieces are frozen and tho
skin carefully shaved off, thawed and
send to the tanneries to be made into
leather. The frozen fur which re-
mains is allowed to thaw slightly at
the bottom, so that small part of the
hair is freed from ice. This thawed
portion is then covered with a solu-
ton of rubber, which is allowed to set.
The result Is that large seamless
pieces of fur are obtained much
cheaper than those which come with
the natural skin. These same artifi-
cial furs are said to be more lasting
than the real, because they are i'm.
hume from the attacks of moths.

Britt, Fitch and the patrolman took

in recuperating, though, and after hur-

FOlloWlng the TALK between Brita
and Manning in the office of the chief
of detectives, the lieutenant fastened
to his own room, where Fitch was
awaiting him. He excused himself to
the physician and entered a telephone
booth at the far end of his office in
which he was accustomed to conduct
his more private wire conversations.
Through the glass of the silence parti-
ton. Fitch saw the detectives eyes
sparkle as he listened to what the
man at the other end of the wire was
saying. While Britt still was talking,
Manning came in, glanced inquiringly
at the doctor, and settled himself in
big chair as If for further and
more protracted interview with his
able lieutenant.

now?" said the Chief of Fitch, cycling
him closely meanwhile.

surprise.

eagerly.

replied. "If you don't mind, I'll ask
