 A faint smile f1iekered an instant about Britzs lips, then disappeared
 He never got a chance to turn the trick" the detective replied For imore than year now, he's been cast ling eovetous eyes on the same paste sstones he had manufactured"
 By tremendous effort Fitch suc- ceeded in subduing his excitement, and locking his hands behind his head he waited with what patience he could for the rest of the detec- tive's story Manning seemed to turn to Ice.
 "Griswold has been in bad financial ly for over two years" BritZ eontin- ned Hes been doing stunts with the books of the Iroquois Trust company At my request. the directors have had experts on the books for a couple of weeks, and they've got as pretty a ease against Mr Griswold as ever you saw He wanted that necklace i'll order to get enough money to square his acronnts.

Neither does Mrs. Delarnehe know how she has been fooled hy the clubman When she does know which I think will be some time today--I think you'll see some fur fly"
 Fitch. to get the upper hand of his nervousness, tapped his eyeglasses with a medical-looking lead pencil, end listened very closely to the de- tective's story. Manraing. 100. was ab- sorbed In what Britz had to tell. Both l of his hearers, therefore, were mo- mentarily disappointed when Britz. in- I stead of going ahead with his story, iHdt JOHUeliy ana arson De pried apart long enough for one Of i them to arrest Griswold. and the other to brings Mrs. Delaroche to Headquar- 1 ters
 T don't want to make things too un- pleasant for these bright young men" Britz said saresstieallv; "but do want to give myself the satisfaction of having them nah the two persons they should have arrested in less than week after the theft of Mrs Mis- sioner's jewels was discovered
 Manning felt he had no choice save to comply. He wasn't exactly pleased by the insistence of his lieutenant's request; but when Britz. at nod from him. pressed push button and an attendant appeared In the doorway. Chief Manning ordered the bluecoat to ask Donnelly and Carson to report to him In the lieutensnt's room at once
