"And who, II you don't mind taking
me into your confidence, is Mrs.

quired.
MRS. Millicent Delaroche," said the
detective crisply, thinks she Is the
future Mrs. Curtis Griswold. But as
far as Mr.. Griswold is concerned, she
may remain Mrs. Delaroche for the
rest of her natural life. In other
words, Griswold promised to marry
her, and then got very busy in an at
tempt to marry Mrs. Missioner. He
doesn't know yet, Of course. that 1t
will be very long time before he has
a chance to marry anybody. Neither

Britz said sarcastically; "but do
want to give myself the satisfaction
Of having them nab the two persons
they should have arrested In less than
a 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 thel insistence Of his lieutenant's
request; but when Britz. at nod
from him, pressed a 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 lieutenant's room at
once.

where an interesting side feature of
the mystery comes in. Griswold would
have probably been more alert II he
had known that men ten times as
adroit as he, and hundred times
more unscrupulous, had journeyed half
around the world to get one OF those
very gems he was preparing to steal
from the woman he hoped to marry.

he must have noticed the Oriental

Britz paused little. and then re.
sumed:
These Hindoos worked about as
fast as did. They must have made
up their minds pretty early In the
game that Miss Holcomb knew moth
ing about the necklace, and, OF course,
nobody would be foolish enough to
suspect little Miss March. Our dark
friends from the East concentrated
their attention on Griswold and
Sands. For long time, Ali had been

Missioner watched her jewels pretty
closely, and that her safe was jim

That little trick was pulled OF by

CONTEST OF ASToR
 WILL iMPosSlBLe Special Nwaast ooevioA

NEWPORT. Aug. 31.-From authen- tic sources it is learned here today that there is not the slightest possi- bility of a contest of the will of John Jacob Astor by his young widow. There are still some members of the cottage settlement here. however. who believe that an effort will be made to set aside the testament.
 Either before or directly after the marriage of Colsnel Astor and Miss Force all the members of the Force family gathered at the office of Com modore Lewis Cass Ledyard. where the will drawn under Colonel Astor's direction was read. At the conclusion MT. Ledyard asked each if he or she was satisfied. All replied in the af firmative and each signed a statement to that effect. Since the will filed is an exact duplicate of that which was read in the lawyers office a contest is hardly possible.

That Nome is becoming sort of Mecca for the broke men of the in terior of Alaska and the Yukon is the opinion of Mayor Gilmore and some members of the city council as ex- pressed at the meeting of that body last night.
 The matter came up when Council man Daniels asked that some step be taken to prevent the steamship com panies from dumping broke men here from St. Michael MT. Daniels and constantly applying for transportation to the outside and that such applica- tions come from strangers and never from Nome people.
 The meeting being the first of the month the officers of the city present. ed their monthly reports.
 pr. Sloan had heard of some cases of whooping cough and asked the mothers to be careful lest the sickness might spread to other children. He also stated to a question that the births of children are not recorded in Nome in spite of an ordinance to that effect.
 The city treasurer reported bal ance on hand of s4.529.79.
 The council decided to sign con- tract for 50 lights for the city at a flat rate of twelve cents. It was also decided to purchase the property of w. w. McLain on Front street for s25.
 Councilman Mielke reported his fail ure to obtain coal for the city outside but refused to accept any expense money from the city.

Special Nugget Service.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-John D. Rockefeller Is now prisoner in his lodge at Pocantico and in constant fear of assassination by members Of the Black Hand. Around the house are eighteen negro guards each car rying repeating rife and constantly on the watch for the approach of sus- picious characters. In addition to the negroes five dogs of the great Dane species are kept on hand with the hope that by instinct they can give warn ing of the approach of an enemy un- seen by human eyes.
 The famous millionaire himself keeps aloof from all callers except those who are intimate friends. and seems to be on the alert at ali times for signs of danger.
 These extraordinary fears and pre- cautions are believed to be the result of threats recently delivered with more vehemence than usual. That the threats were not empty ones is said to have been proven by circumstances which have been kept hidden from the knowledge of all but the police.
 Reporters describing the scene com pare it to stories told of Oriental countries. The color of the guards adds to the amazing strangeness of the whole affair
