Mrs. Delaroche gladly nodded assent.

The effect of that command upon
the prisoner startled everyone. Not
only did 1t cause him to break his sui

words that made the house detective
involuntarily loose his hold on the man

to realize the unconventionality Of
their attire, and to send them precip-

One or two of them remained. how

hotels as frostily patrician as the
Renaissance, did not often have an
opportunity to hold the center Of the
stage, was fairly well content with
his audience.

The prisoner turned one OF his sui

flung up the sash and looked out. As
he expected. there was q long string
OF ladders and balconies that ended
one story above the street. The fire
escape was at the least frequented

threw shadow from an arc lamp ON

window. On It lay something yellow.

Britz 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 Britz 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.

stronger than the professional pride
that had actuated him to recover them
for their owner. He was aware they

about to make.

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

physician how he had been baked In
the chief object of his nocturnal visit.

Britz.
