for a million dollars worth of dia-

But she insisted | keep them, SO
for second time | left her house
with the jewels.
On my way home / happened
to buy some hyacinths. and later,
for want of better place, hid the
diamonds among them.
Upon reaching home / received
a telephone from M. de Ravenol
that Mrs. Delario was Ill and want
ed me, so l again FASTENED to her
house, only to be confronted by
monsieur, who accused me, at the
point of a revolver, of having
stolen the jewels from his daugh-
ter.
finally escaped, and on the
way home luckily met Bill Rivers
a former pupil of mine. then a re-
porter. told him nothing of the
diamonds, but said | had feeling
that my flat had been robbed. lie
went home with me, and found
the flat ransacked, with $500

After Billy left I rushed to the
hyacinths. The diamonds were
safe. | went out to buy a chain
bolt for my door, and was fol.
lowed by detective. 1 tele
phoned Mrs. Delario. She, too
was watched by detectives.
Upon my return, as | was wait
ing for the elevator to go up to
my flat. the door of the flat right
under mine opened and the face
that peered out at me was that
of-M. de Ravenol! | questioned
George, the elevator boy, and he
acknowledged being in monsieur

best | could.
De Ravenol went one better; he
locked me in from the outside. He

short on eatables. Even my let
tiers were intercepted. Finally ]
got George to bring up the post
man, and gave him a note tt
Billy. And Billy came. Then
told him the whole story. BY de-
coy letters we got monsieur again
to enter the flat. This time We
captured him.
Monsieur explained to us that
the diaminds were intrusted to
him by the emperor of Germany,
to be presented to the wife of the
president of Mexico. The emper-
or's idea was to gain control OF
the Panama canal through a
treaty with Mexico.
He also informed me that Claire
had hidden the diamonds in the
turquoise slipper l picked up al
the custom house. AS they were
not in that particular turquoise
slipper l went to Mrs. Delario
who admitted that she had found
the diamonds in the other slipper
but that they were gift to heI
from the spirit world.
The way she knew this was be.
cause at a sitting in Paris she
had been told to expect gift OF
great value as a sign that she had
been admitted to the inner cir.
cles of the spirit elect.

WHITE GIFTS.

Quite . general movement is being
made in the Sunday School and church
Of Christmas giving.
Much Of the giving in tbs past has
been almost sort Of mercantile ex.
tchange. Gifts are given because other
gifts are returned; much Of it has almost
been to the level Of black nail. II have
70 live something to such one because
they will give to me- II all gift giving
was reduced to that of real desire to
;gise-and to ones ability to give, it
would result in much less observance Of
this custom.
Te obviate this sort of mercantile gift
giving there has been instituted what is
scaasd ''Whi.e Christmas" IN which all
gifts are white, or clothed in white, and
ar1 given without expeotance Of return.
These gifts may be money, goods or just
si4plssservice, Thelatter being gvner-
ally in the nature Of personal promise to
work for. the Sunday school, for charity
