CHAPTER xxx (Continued) .

HE diamcndsr' she exclaimed.
Teresa, notAnot the dia-
monds you were robbed Of
in Dublin3'
Miss Driscoll glanced out OF the tail
OF her eye across the northern waters
of the bay. In Imagination che saw the
hotel at North Wall.
Yes" she said, themselves. They've
found them, Fanny; or rather,' she
to a woebegone tone, they've found
some Of them. Look at this, now; here
1t all is In the paper"
She pointed TO a column which was
headed In heavy, black letters:
Strange Sequel to Dublin Mystery"
and pushed the newspaper over to her
companion to read, While Miss
O'Leary read and marveled Miss Dris-
coll sat and thought. She was wonder
ing about many things, but chiefly of
the tragedies which had attended the
diamond necklace.
The story which was unfolded in the
newspaper was that of the lower Abbey
street tragedy, of the disappearance Of
the diamonds, of the subsequent detec-
ton of Kiiner, and of the latter's ar
rest and suicide. The robbery of the
diamonds from lady's person during
the lady's residence at a Dublin hotel
was referred to, but the lady's name
was not given.
Full justice was done to everything:
a
and mutilated necklace was given.
They don't mention your name,
Teresa" ;" said Miss O'Leary, disappoint-
edly. II was hoping they would do
that"
mo" said Miss Driscoll, they don't.
But 1t doesn't matter. Fanny. Look
there, now"-and she pointed to clos
ing paragraph which stated that the
necklace was at that time In the hands
of Inspector Davidson Of Dublin, who
had lust returned with II from North
Wales. Look at that, l tell you. In
Davidson's hands--and well Davidson
knows whose property 1t is."
Perhaps he's written to you at Castle
Cleerycrow Teresa" suggested ted Miss a. IS

Maybe and maybe not" said Miss
Driscoil But I'll soon settle the mat
ter. Come into the hotel Fanny, and
let's get ready for Dublin. Wen take
Davidson at once. I'm not going to
have my diamonds-what's left of them
knocking about In police Offices. Come
away"
Within the hour Miss Driscoll and
Miss O'Leary were shown into Inspector
surprised to see them, but he made no
remark until they had seated them
selves.
why, Miss DriscolI!' he. e.excIaimed
you must have come by one of those
new airshtps they're talking about. It's
only an hour since I wired you, and
here you are. That's quick work from

Miss Driscoll rather avidly. II am

But Miss Driscoll was not yet in
proper state to listen to anything. She
stared at Sir Octavius, at Miss OLeary,
| at Inspector Davidson-she stared at
the four walls of the room, one after
the other, as IL she were not quite cer-
tain OF her surroundings. Miss O'Leary
began to look alarmed.
! Teresa she said soothingly. Take
1t gently-and sensibly, Teresa"
The word sensibly recalled the last of
Miss Driscolls scattered faculties. She
glanced at her companions and sank
into the chair which Sir Octavius was
holding for her.
"Sensibly!' she exclaimed. Gracious
goodness, Fanny O'Leary, what are you
! talking about? AS Il should ever do
anything that wasn't sensible! Sensi-
| bly,, indeed! I wish everybody was as
| full OF common sense as l am. No, no,
| I'll take II with all the sense in the
world, but goodness me-to think that
it's him.
She indicated Sir Octavius with an
outstretched finger as If he had been a
waxwork figure. Sir Octavius bowed
and smiled.
And why not me, Miss Driscoll?" he
said. regardless of exactitude Of lam
! guage. 'Why not me, my dear lady?
There is nothing strange, 1 hope. in the
fact that l was once the possessor of
