ed until Mrs. Missioner, Miss Hol-
comb, Sands, and Fitch were close to
Britt. The detective, turning to the
others, said:
II have had the good fortune to re-
cover the Maharanee diamond for you,
Mrs. Missioner, and 1T remains only to
trace the other jewels Of h necklace.
l dare say Prince kananda can tell US
wher they are"
A I told you over the telephone,
Lieutenant Britz," Mrs. Missioner an

astonished.

l do not care to prosecute anyone con-
nected with their disa ppearance."

sible for their second disappearance
is it possible you do not wish them to
be punished?" Britt expostulated.
"I do not" said Mrs. Missioner
quietly. 8" understand their connec-
ton with the mystery thoroughly. In
spite of the drastic methods they pur-
sued, I do not blame them. They did
not seek the lesser stones of the
necklace. In fact, those gems were re-
turned to me this morning by one OF
the Orientals-a nan Of scholarly at
tainment and high character, whom l
met in the East. These devotees-
fanatics, If you w1ll-have braved
death and Imprisonment to ecove a
jewel which l take it is precious in
their eyes as was the Holy Grail to
the Crusaders. It is a question not
merely of religion, but of extreme
piety with them. Under such circum.
stances 1 cannot consent to appear
against them, nor to countenance any
attempt to punish them. Besides, there
was q mistake in the acquisition Of ire
Maharanee diamond. 1t belongs to
these men of the East. They are free
to take 1t. I surrender all claim upon
it."
With an air of unmistakable respect
Britz turned toward the widow.
In the eyes Of the law" he said, ex
tending the big Maharanee, this stone
is yours. You may do with it a you
choose"
Mrs. Missioner accepted the stone,
permitting her eyes to linger a mo-
nent on its blazing splendor. Then
she wheeled abruptly and passed the
diamond to the Prince.
"lr is yours" she said. Take It,"
Kananda's eager fingers closed or
the gem.
MRS. Missioner has restored your
property" Britz said, turning to the
Oriental, and l dare say the Chief
will agree with me that 1t Is not neces
sary for US to take your case as far as
he District Attorneys ONCE. You and
your fellow countrymen are at liberty
to go. 1 advise you to go quickly be-
fore 1 get to thinking too strongly
about that little upside-down ride you

He made a mock obeisance as the
Hindoos, released from their shining
steel bonds, filed silently out of the
room

Britz added significantly, that in your
new-found happiness you will forget
the momentary u~npleasantnes between

your interests"
The rare smile the millionaire
flashed at the lieutenant as with a pro-
prietary air he took Doris Missioner's

No enough attention is paid to tho

used to children tumbling around that
they take it quite lightly unless bones

1t should be rem embered that in

there be a head hurt.
Keep the child quiet for a time who

not yield to simple home remedies,

the doctor, holder than Sands, en-
circled her waist with his I'm.
Britt, without making a move to in
terrupt Mrs. Delaroche, stretched n
hand behind him and pressed a button
that communicated with the room
where Gordon and Hicks waited with
the -four Hindoos. The connecting door
opened and the Orientals could be
seen within. Mrs. Delaroche, abb
sorbed in her w grievances, intent
only upon vengeance that should shat
ter Curtis Griswold to the very founda.
ton Of the man, again fixed her eyes
upon him as she continued her de-
nunciation to the detective. Britt and
Manning listened alertly. Gordon. In
the adjoining room, whipped out a
notebook and began taking in short
hand everything the said.
Eyes, you stole the Jewels" said
Mrs. Delaroche to the crouching club
man in his chair. II didn't know 1t
when you gave them to me. and fool
that I was, the suspicious l might
have had were kept aloof by my at
lection for you. You wooed me for a
long time. You told me l was the only
woman in the world. You wore you
never had a single thought OF any
other. And all that time, It seems,
you were counting this Mrs. Mission
er. You were seeking to win her
for her wealth, I suppose-it matters
not for what. And even while you
were In her house as a recognized,
even an accepted sutton, you robbed
the very woman you really intended to
marry!"
Turning with q p%anther's speed and
with it's steely strength, she ad-
dressed herself again to BrtE.
"Mr. Griswold!" she said, gave me
a necklace a few weeks ago-a dia-
mond necklace. It was contained in
the jewel case you found in my room.
He told me he had purchased 1t for
me, and that 1t vas to be his bridal
gift. l wondered at the munificence
OF the present, but he assured me he
was a man of much greater wealth
than was generally supposed. and that
when we were wed, we would live in
luxury equaling that Of anyone in New
York society. I believed him. He
explained that he wished me to take
charge OF the necklace al once as he
feared to keep 1t in his OWE apart
ment, and for business reasons did
not wish t intrust It to a safe deposit
company. When the news of the Mis-
stone diamond robbery was published
In the newspapers, l commented upon
1t to the man / supposed to be my
fance. and expressed wonder as to
whether Mrs. Missioner's diamonds
we're as beautiful as those he had
given me. He asked me to say moth
ing about my possession Of the neck
lace until our wedding day. He said
he did not wish tho directors of tho
%Iroquois Trust Company to know he
had laid out such = large sum OF
money yet awhile.
When you, Mr.. Britz. tried to steal
the necklace from my room; when. In
fact, you did take the case that had
contained them, l supposed you to b
an ordinary burglar. Naturally I be-
came excited at the thought of losing
such magnificent gems. How the
Jewels were ever taken from my Gus
tody I do not yet know. l have no
idea where they are All / do know
is that Curtis Griswold stole them,
and that, in turn. they were stolen
from him.
