CHAPTER X.
Dorothy March Talks.

O0TOtUy MAtSU t0IR0s
Matinee girls In the Forrest Theater
differ from their sisters Of other New
York playhouses In that they are far
more serious than anybody in the eve-
ming audiences. Caramels, marshmal-
lows, chocolate creams are forbidden
by the unwritten law Of their cult.
The utmost nourishment one Of them
can allow herself is salted almond
nibbled surreptitiously between do
corous little outbursts of kid-gloved
applause. It is not the sort OF gather
ing In which one would expect to find
the busiest sleuth Of the headquarters
stan, especially with a great diamond
mystery on his hands. Yet, on one
Of those warm January afternoons
that make the metropolis wonder II 1t
is being metamorphosed into winter
resort, one Of the most interested aud.
itors In the select little theater was
Observation-Disclosures Britz. Of Man
ning's stan.
Britz found the somebody he sought
when his gaze fell on slim little fig
ure In the trimmest Of dove-colored
gowns, sitting In the fifth row on the
center aisle. Instantly his last pre-
tense Of attention to the play van
ished. Keeping his eyes on the gray
curves Of the girl in the fifth row, he
Quilted his post at one side of the
house and walked slowly to the main
exit, whence he watched her until the
curtain fell on the first act. Mean
while, he scribbled on card, slipped
q liberal tip into the receptive hand
Of an usher. and indicated the object
Of his interest. When the curtain fell
on the first act, the usher hurried
down the aisle, and presented the
card to the girl in gray.
IF Miss March," read the young
woman. will spare few minutes to
Britz. OF Headquarters. she will con-
fer favor and serve her friend, Mrs.
Missioner"
Dorothy gathered her wrap, glasses
and program quickly and followed the
usher to the back of the theater. The
youth led her to the famous detective,
whom, though she had heard Of him
through Doris Missioner, she beheld
for the first time.
"You wished to see me?" inquired
Dorothy. 1t was banal question, and
a flush tinged her cheeks as she re-
allied its superfiuousness could not es.

prettiness permitted "But I've en-
joyed our little chat very much"
which means I must be going"
said Britz promptly, III I'm not to
spoil your enjoyment Of the mid.vic-
torian scene. The orchestra has An

"Yes, there goes the curtain agreed
Dorothy, rising hastily. $50 glad to

Mrs. Missioner's jewels. Good-after-

"But, Mr.. Britz," she cried, there

the diamonds?"

won't detain you now. Perhaps well

longer intermission between the acts.
Delighted to have made your ac-
quaintance. Miss March. know
you're In hurry to get back to your
seat. Forrest audiences don't like to
be disturbed, you know. Good-after-
noon, Miss March. and-thank you 80
much!"
He had cause to thank her. he be-
lieved. For. in her girlish talk, she
had given him the first Missioner
clue Of the week-or, rather, she had
extended for him a thread Of the
mystery that had occupied much OF
his thoughts from the moment when
he received Logan's cable saying the
paste jewels were made from
sketches. For days, he had sought
to learn who among Mrs. Missioner's
intimates was artist enough to make
such delicate draughts of the dia-
monds as would be required by an ar
tificer for the manufacture Of imita-
tions. With that object, he had ascer-
tained Dorothy's intention to 60 to the
matinee in the Forrest and had gone
to the theater to meet her under con-
ditions not likely to interfere with
such gentle questioning Of her as he
meant to do. His yelled interrogation
Of the society girl had brought forth
the fact that Curtis Griswold could
sketch-that the clubman was suf1-
ciently master of his pencil to have
his skill pretty generally known
among his acquaintances. Lorimer
and Daubigny. the other society ar
lists she had mentioned. were not, he
knew. in Mrs. Missioner's circle.
It was fortunate for Lieutenant
Britz. as well as for Elinor Holcomb
and Doctor Fitch, and everybody
whose hopes hinged on the detectives
success In solving the great Missioner
diamond mystery, that long custom
made him thread the trafac OF the
city's throbbing artery automatically,
for so deeply did the sleuth ponder
the possibilities OF his newest infor-
nation that he had several close es-
capes from taxicabs, private automo-
biles and trolley cars as he crossed
Broadway and bent his steps toward
Fifth avenue. The case had cleared q
little, but his course was not much
palmer than It had been when he
dropped into the theater In quest OF
further knowledge.

Britz dismissed the visitor, left the

DR.. Fitch. Taking tho important
cablegram from his pocket he handed
1t to the physician. The doctors eyes
fingered on each word. His face paled,
his eyes bulged forward, violent

''It's great news for you and Miss
Holcomb," the detective smiled.
Fitch eyed him In perplexity. The
detective met his inquiring gaze stead

he said:
'It proves beyond question she had

"How?" Fitch demanded eagerly.

"either was actuated by enmity to

enough about the Missioner household
to realize that suspicion would natur'

cided to use her as cloak to hide
his own identity. However, now

that will produce quick results. DR.,
Fitch, you may tell Miss Holcomh
that In my calculations she is entirely
eliminated from participation in the
crime. You may inform her also that

tective's words. Britz was hurryina
