watched Sands closely to see If the
millionaire's eyes would turn anxi-
ously toward that part of his furni-
ture. He almost started when the first
move Sands made, after finishing his
task of binding the prisoners, was to
saunter with a careless air across the
room and in passing, glance swiftly
and questioningly into the pigeon
holes whence the thieves had alb
stracted the mysterious articles that
so actively engaged Britz's always &C
tive curiosity.
tits about up to us to do a little
searching now, isn't it?" asked Britt
These bright young men have had
their innings, and l believe it's our
turn at bat. What do you say, Mr..
Sands?"
Sands said nothing. He nodded his
head In assent, however, and Britz be-
gan a search of the Orientals fully as
exhaustive as that they had performed
on the room Before he had gone far
In his quest, Sands volunteered as
sistance, and each explored the folds
Of the Hlndoos' raiment with the
clumsiness that might be expected of
men not accustomed to that sort OF
work
Britt, working more swiftly than the
millionaire, made his first find. 1t was
a sheet Of notepaper of fashionable
size and tint, on which had been writ
ten a few lines In feminine hand
Britt had not the slightest compunc-
ton of conscience about reading it.
Chivalry was all very we'll in its way,
but 1t played no part In detective
work, especially when the lady most
concerned was not present to make
protest. He moved to the center of
the room, and in the light of cluster
of incandescent lamps read aloud to
Sands the following enigmatical mis-
sive:
Curtis Dear: When are you COM
ing up to the MOTEL? If you do not
come or send me a check quickly,
shall have to sell some of the Jewels.
"MILLICENT."
That was all. Whether that "all'
was much or little, Britt, offhand, was
not prepared to say. The use Of Girls
wold's given name at the beginning
of the note apparently meant a good
deal. But who was Millicent? In the
course of his probing of the Missioner
diamond mystery, Britt had canvassed
the complete visiting list of everyone
who was in the opera box on the night
when the falsity of the Maharanee
diamond was discovered. He had had
compiled a social register of everyone
interested in the case-everyone that |

Mrs. Missioner, Sands, Grtswold, Miss
Holcomb, Miss March, and the Swami
knew. In all that long roster there
was no one named "Millicent." Neither,
for that matter, was there a Mil

clear to admit of any mistake. The
writing was excellent, and while II did
not go to the extreme Of the current
fashion In chirography, 1t was what
Britt called In his vivid vernacular

Ever seen that fist before?" asked
the detective as Re handed the note to
Sands.
The millionaire shook his head.
While 1t was true, Britt reflected, that
the big man was known as Silent"
Sands in Wall Street society, he was
certainly more economical of words
than anyone he had ever known In his
life. Aloud, he continued:
Are you sure you have never seen
any writing at all like that before?"
Another shake Of the head was
Sands only concession to the de-
detectives right to question him He
gave the note back to the HeadquAr
tiers man, who returned to the circle
of light under the incandescent lamp
and studied IL again. Meanwhile,
Sands went on with his search of the
second Oriental He was not as clever
in his movements as Britt, and when
he tried to conceal something, he sig
nally failed. For the detective, though
his eyes seemingly were fastened on
the note addressed to Griswold, saw
the millionaire take something out OF

into his waistcoat pocket

Sands nodded.

CHAPTER XVII.
A Pair of Thieves.

Two men, late on that February az
ternoon, were Fastening eagerly along
converging routes to the bachelor
home of Bruxton Sands. One was
Sands himself. The other was Lieu
tenant Britt of Headquarters.
Every detail in the millionaires
suite In the St Barnabas and of his
private room in the Bowling Green Of
fee was known to Britt even more
infinitely than to the owner That
had been among the early activities
of the sleuth in connection with the
case. He was able to assure himself,
therefore, that no matter how much
Sands might admire the Maharanee
diamond. especially when Il encircled
the white throat of the wealthy widow,
II would be nonsensical to suppose
this admiration could descend to Gov
etousness. Clearly, Britt was In some
sort OF blind alley.
IS the two men left their Offices al
most to the minute, Britt, many
blocks ahead of Sands, had arrived at
the St Barnabas before the million
aire turned the Grace church bend in
Broadway. Sands man, when the
detective announced he was there for
an important talk with the million
aire, admitted Britt readily to Sands
suite
Britt, sitting In a great leather
armchair In an attitude Of sybaritic
ease. chose a panatela from his pocket
case, and then, with his eyes fred on
the ceiling and his hands clasped at
the back Of his neck. he gave himself
