exclaimed hoarsely.

on Fifth avenue and went straight to
the room where Pamela's wedding
gifts were still on view. The table
with the glass case stood in the cen
ter Of the room; a purple cushion lay
inside the case-but the diamond was
gone!
"Ah," said Crossthwaite, noting the
direction of my eyes; poor Mainwar-
ing had a queer fad about that stone.
He brought it here every morning, but
insisted on taking charge Of it at
night. By the way. under the circum-
stances, I had better not leave it at
the hotel. I will have it brought
here"
A door at the farther end of the
room opened, and the Indian servant,
Gopirath, glided in. He came for
ward and threw himself at our feet.
"Sanp Kee Ankh is stolen!" he gasp.

He held up a morocco case in both

repeated. II found the case empty, as

with the Indian, and I proceeded to
Pamela's boudoir. The girl sprang for
ward and seized my hands eagerly.

I then related in as few words as
possible how the dangerous acid had

from the bottle. In another moment
would have inhaled the drug-but in

back and thrust the bottle back into
my pocket. That Is all, except that
know I was traced to this house by
one of the hotel porters. I could see
thai they all suspected me-"
He had scarcely finished speaking,
when the hall door bell rang loudly.
The next instant a couple Of police
officers, accompanied by Mr.. Cross
thwaite, entered the room. One of the
men went up to Carroll.
"Is your name Laurence Carroll?'
he asked.

"Then 1 have a warrant for your

queried.
THAT was his intention, undoubted-
ly. Fortunately, when the supreme
moment came he had not sufficient
strength to carry out his resolve"
But l fear the worst" she walled.
"He was %desperate; the letter he
wrote to me told me so. ought nev-

LISTEN" 1 said. "If you had seen
and spoken with Carroll both last
night and this morning, as I did, you
would not give way to such suspicious.
That he was desperate and despairing,
I admit; but he is not a murderer,
Pamela. Furthermore, the diamond is
missing. Gopinath has just come to
the house with the news of the theft.
That fact alone helps to prove Car
rolls innocence. The person who
stole the stone was undoubtedly the
one who committed the murder. Now,
it was not money that Carroll needed
the diamond had no attraction for
him in such a moment Of his life"
Pamela listened with flaming cheeks
and bright eyes. The fact that the
Snakes Eye was missing gave her
great consolation, and I could e that
her old-time passion for Carroll had
lost none Of its strength. The inquest
was held at an early hour the follow
ing morning. l was, of course, obliged
to be present. The evidence against
Carroll was still overwhelming, in
spite of the new turn to the affair
given by the disappearance Of the dia-
mond. In fact, it was limited that he

Clement, No. 503 West Barraquet street this (Sunday) morning about 1 o'clock.

MT. and Mrs. Clement and their son, Joe, were aWakaned by ,lhe young coupNa' and MT Clement immediately notified the police. A hasty examination of fire articles in the hall showed that nOth ng was missing.
 Deputy Sheriff c. c. Green was callal by telephone and was soon at the Clement home with the two blocdhounds recently purchased by Sheriff Brewster.
 Neither Mr. Perkins nor MT. Clem- 'ent have my idea as to whether the intruder was black or white. MT. Clement said ire man entered the front door of the house which had been left unlocked. The Woul@-be burglars m shap in arousing the family by falling against the stove doubtless prevented the theft of sev- eral vsluahl3' articles which were within easy reach.
