CHAPTER XVI.
Mutual Explanations.


It was breakfast time, and Britt and
Fitch after their exciting night were
hungry enough to eat a Hindoo but
they did not stop to show considerar
tion to their inner men.
As he expected, BrItz found Girls
wold and Mrs. Delaroche in the big
reception room of the Detective Bu-
reau with the detectives who had ar.
rested them waiting ponderously near
the door, and an interested desk lieu-
tenant looked up from his work to
hear the denouement Of what Police
Headquarters had come to regard as
the star case Of the year.
Britt walked slowly to his own
room, where the scowling Orientais
were penned In corner, while tho
chief of the detectives and his tive
subordinates were taking wellearned
rest In the lieutenant's easy'cnairs.
Britt talked to Manning in whispers,
then went to the telephone and called
Mrs. Missioner's house.
Good morning, Mrs. Missioner" he
said over the wire. This is Lieuten-
ant Britz-Britz. of Headquarters.

NOT DEAD, SO FAR AS KNOWN.

A persistent rumor to the effect
that DIR. ]. w. Lackey had just died
of pneumonia in Los Angeles Cal,
was circulated around town last night,
and today this office has been besieged
with inquiries as to whether the news
is true.
DIR. Robbins, with whom Dr. Lackey
is associated in business, says that he
has had no message to that effect.
Since Mrs. Lackey's arrival in Cali
fornia he has received no further
word, and as Dr. Robbins is DIR. Lack
ey's partner, he would necessarily be
notified in such an event.
The Western Union office has had
no telegram to that effect, so the ru-
NOR is evidently false. That such is
the case, Dr. Lackey's friends in this
section will be glad to believe.

we want the goods"
Since you are resolved to carry
this miserable farce farther" said the
Prince. Il suppose We shall have to
submit"
"You'll submit to a search. that's
what you'll do" interrupted Man
ming Il don't blame you. Britt, for
osing your temper with this crowd;
fresh is no name for it"
The Chief nodded to Gordon and
Hicks. and they began a search of
The four prisoners that left nothing
undone to find the diamonds. When
they had examined every article of
the Indians apparel. from the Orien-
tai costumes OF the low-caste Hin
docs to the conventional attire OF the
Prince, they looked to Manning for
further instructions, for they had
found nothing.
Then all four of the detectives. with
the Chief and the doctor. ransacked
the cabin, fore and aft and from star
board to port. as thoroughly as the
Indian burglars had gone through the
apartments OF Griswold and Sands
They even lifted the carpet on all
sides, rolled the heavy furniture
about, and prodded every locker. In
vain. II the diamonds were on board
the yacht. they were not in the
saloon.
Gordon went to the wheel. while
Hicks. who had some knowledge of
machinery. watched and regulated
the feed of the motor Silently as a

yacht threaded the cut to the broader
stretch beyond the Spuyten Duyvil
creek and, passing under the long
railroad bridge on which the famous
little Dolly Warden train toddled from
bank to bank. swung downstream in
the Hudson and headed ,for the Bat
terry. The yacht was off Grants Tomb
before an Idea occurred to Fitch, for
which Britt not only gave him full
credit but blessed him heartily.

wounded lieutenant" Fitch suggested.
Britt and Manning looked the Orien-
tails over. and made them walk up and
down the cabin. The Prince halted
slightly in his gait fer an instant, then
/ recovered control of his muscles, and
strobe as steadily as his low-caste
compatriots
That man has the Maharanee.
Fitch declared You'll find It in the
calf of his leg
| Brtz seized Kananda by the collar
and shook him savagely.
''If you don't give up that diamond
/ your finish will be the operating
/ table" said the detective.
Kananada forced another laugh.
/ Britt, Manning and Fitch seized him,
and barring his leg to the knee,
searched for marks of wound.
Strangely enough, there was little
lump in the calf. The detectives
looked at the doctor
Here's slight protuberance, doc
tor" said Britt. 81 guess the rest is
up to you
Fitch took out pocket instrument
case. and selected a tiny knife. Ka-
nanda, on the point Of beginning an.
other struggle to escape, was choked
and held powerless by Britt and Man.

triumphantly extracted something
which, though rnddied. sparkled In the

BATH
AT III"

Minneapolis, March 2.-For the first
time since the Big Eight conference
granted the power. the faculty eligi-
bility committee at the university met
today In. 1.-The office Of Professor James
Paige, examined some two dozen track
athletes and granted the Immunity
bath to a half dozen who admitted
they had transgresscd the rules of
amateurism. -. -
The men Appeared for. examination
solely to- determine their. technical
amateur standings. One by one tho
athletes were brought UP before the
inquisitors and laid bare their bleed
ing athletic souls. Never before In
the history of the university have the
young men been so anxious to reveal
the sins against the rules of amateur
ism committed at Fourth. of July celc-
brations and Sunday school ptcnics.
None of the sordid confessions con-
tanned serious infractions of the ANA
teur code. The stories for the most
part dealt with the winning of foot
race prizes ranging from IS to SO
cents. Fully conscious Of the enormi-
ty of their sins, the athletes told their
tales reluctantly and were aided by
the qucstioners in digging up OR Of
lenses and u%ncovering old ones.
). Professor Paige said after the SEES
sion that he was satisfied hat all the
students had told the truth and that
non had. concealed any old offense
that might affect his athletic status.
