take Mir. Forsythe's jewels, while she stole those of Mrs. Forsythe. Her confederate had awakened the man he robbed and had been obliged to kill him in order to effect his escape.
 The day passed without Miss Ash worth being arrested. She kept her room that and the next day. Then 1t was whispered among the servants that she was under arrest, that bail had been given and she was awaiting the action of the grand jury. The butler ventured to ask Mir. Withers if this were so. but Mir. 'Withers declined to talk about the case. The absence of a denial was considered a confirmation of the suspicion.
 A week passed and there were no de. veopments in the Forsythe murder case. The public accused the police of negligence. and the police gave out that they were hot on the murderer's heels and were gathering evidence that would insure his conviction. The truth was that they had not scrap of evi- dence against any one,
 Meanwhile Miss AShwOrth returned to her duties. Mrs. Forsythe gave out that she needed occupation and the children needed to be returned to their studies. At any rate, the home school work began again. and Miss Ashworth seemed much improved at having some thing to do. There were various opin- Ions as to the position in which she stood. but no one knew anything about 1t. Gradually it came to be doubted if, after all. she were guilty. though her collapse had indicated that she was. The servants. except the butler, sym pathized with her. He differed from them concerning her, and when they called him hard hearted he became in- dignant and gave I'D his situation.
 The FOrsythe murder case gradually dropped from public notice and came to be considered one of the murder mysteries that would never be solved. If the widow had not been rich the loss of her jewels would have made q great difference to her. for. while her husbands had been of little val ue. hers were worth fortune in themselves. But she made no com pluint against the police for not hunt ing down her husbands murderer. But perhaps this was because she was assured that the detective bureau that had been given the case was still hope full
 One morning man passed out of the lobby of London hotel and stood without the entrance as if not know ing what to do with himself. He was fine looking. well dressed. and the only indication that he was not to the man. ner born was that he was chewing toothpick. Presently he strolled down the street. As he passed window or the lobby man arose from bis seat, went out and followed him.
 The first of these two persons turned into a stockholders office, walked to the tape, looked at the quotations and asked how Americans" were selling. Being informed that they were higher, he gave an order to sell. While walt ing for q report of the sale he took a seat. rested his elbows on the arms or his chair with his hands touching be- fore him so as to display handsome pair of sleeve buttons. They had been made in the east and were unique.
 The man who had followed this spec uIator turned into the brokers office behind him and now took position before him.
 You sport handsome pair Of sleeve buttons. sir.
 The specuator looked up, started ana turned pale.
 "One of those buttons" continued the speaker. twas made in Persia the other in London. But it is an imper- feet match. This one is better
 He took from his vest pocket sleeve button which to an eye unSElIl- ed in ieweIry would have matched the other two and held it up before the others face. But not for long. Re turning it to his pocket, he pulled out pair of handcufs. and before the sneculator could decide what to do they were on his wrists.
 "These bracelets are of steel, but they will serve useful purpose even if not ornamental"
 Ten days after this episode the for nar hntler of the Forsythes was lodged in ian in America. One of the sleeve buttons be had worn when arrested was proved to have belonged to the murdered man, the one produced Dy Hawkins, who bad arrested him. was shown to be it's mate. while the thlrd was pronounced by experts an lmper- feet copy. MoSeIy had pawned Mrs' Forsythe's jewels and with the money had speculated. making profit. Con seouently there were sufficient funds with which to redeem the jeweIry.
 Hawkins plan was this: AS soon as he confronted the group of servants at the Forsythes the morning after the murder his experienced eye fixed upon the butler as the murderer. In order to deceive Mosely as to his suspicion ne pretended to Miss Ashworth that he had fixed upon her and had arranged
