SYNOPSIS.

{ CHAPTER 1.-The story opens with a
scream from Dorothy Marche, a charm
Ing debutante, In the opera box OF the
| wealthy widow, Mrs Doris Missioner, at
the Metropolitan Opera House in New
York City. II is occasioned by Mrs. MIS-
sioners diamond necklace breaking and
scattering the string of rare and costly
gems all over the floor. Curtis Griswold
and Bruxton Sands, two society men,
both OF whom love Mrs. Missioner, gather
up some OF the diamonds, but the gem
4 or the collection, the celebrated Mahar-
apparent missing diamond and II crushes
unaer his heel. A Hindoo comes from an
adjoining box, and picking up a fake OF
the crushed gem pronounces 1t a fraud,
not the genuine Maharanee. but-paste.
! CHAPTER 1.-THE entire party proceed
10 the elegant mansion OF Mrs. Missioner.
where she takes them TO a room having
safe containing other diamonds. She
afterwards sends for a Mr.. Rascome, an
expert, who pronounces the stones all
copies, substitutions of the original gems.
( CHAPTER III-Bruxton Sands tele-
phones police headquarters and two de-
lteotives, Donnelly and Carson, arrive on
the scene. They examine the safe and
decide that the theft OF the original dia-
monds was accomplished by some one in
the house. The servants are questioned,
but without result. Then they learn that
Miss Elinor Holcomb, the confidential
lcompanion OF Mrs. Missioner. has a dupli-
cate key to the safe and they send for
her.

CHAPTER w.
nrho chIef Wants to See Your

"The Chief Wants to See YOU"
Elinor Holcomb, TALL graceful, gray
eyed, stood framed between crimson
portieres like a Velesquez portrait.
Her refinement differed from Mrs.
Missioner's climatically, but, despite
the polaric oppositeness of their color
Ing, there was resemblance between
them. Mrs. Mlssioner's eyes turned
10 her apologetically.
II regret to disturb you 30 late
Minor," she said, but these gentle
men insist on seeing you. l suppose
you were sleeping?"
II was doing, fear" smiled the
girl. "I had been reading" She held
! a book in her hand.
"The necklace with the Maharanee
diamond is gone" the widow explain
ed, "and paste jewels have been put
in their place. This Is Detective Don
nelly, of the Central Office, and this is
Detective-ah--"
| Carson, ma'am," said Donnelly
I'm sure I'm very glad to see Mr.
Donnelly and Mr.. Carson since there
has been q robbery" said Elinor east
ly. She move softly to the center
of the room and stood looking at the
Headquarters, men. Are you sure
the real diamonds are gomez"
O., Mrs Missioner made a gesture to
ward the safe and indicated the heap
Of false gems on the table.
''Is It likely" sneered Griswold
"that whoever put the paste stones
there would neglect to take the real
onesY see you read De Maupassant

Necklace don't happen" q mar
Elinor, laughed as she turned the
book In her hand so the others might
see the name of the great Frenchman
on the cover. .e..s
! yet the way tho young couple
spoiled their liTes TO pay for the false
necklace reads plausibly," she retort
ed. "You are growing more observ
ant, Mr.. Griswold."
Sands was overcome by his growing
impatience.

tions to put to Miss Holcomb. sug

said. "There can't be much to ask"
"No. there isn't much, Mr.. Sands" "
retorted the large Central ONCE man.
"Td just like to ask the young lady
who she thinks took the diamonds"
Elinor looked amazed.

a little irritated by the mans abrupt
ness. This is the first I've heard of
the robbery"

not think her capable OF suea ighobie
ingratitude. There was no slightest
shade of appeal TO the detectives, no
regard for the conclusions others in
the room might draw. But that Mrs.
Missioner should give credit to the
cold accusation that glittered in the

plainly was the unbearable thing in
the wretched young woman's present
position.

Sands with rs direct a sneer as he
thought advisable. This has been
one OF our easiest cases"
His fat hand was extended toward
the millionaire. In the crease of the

from his hand and examined Il as II

on his test. Reluctantly, he returned
the gem to Donnelly and said, gently,

man TO another, itll Re the worse for
you. II you don't want TO be run IL,

Mrs Misslorer's annoyance and
Dorothy's fright, no loss than Elinor's
distress, restrained Sands again.
"What does oil this mean?" he said
TO Carson, ignoring the other. But
Donnelly was not to be ignored. His
successful defiance OF a millionaire
had heightened his desire for the cen-
ter OF the stage.
1T means" he rasped, that we
know who took Mrs. Missioner's dia'
