--~--------@~----~-s-- the last packet and held up to the .llght rose diamond which seemed Co ! me as large as walnut and aglow ] with lovely color.
 Perhaps you have stopped 10 ad . mire the Mnznrin diamond in the gal | lery of Apollo at the Louvre" said NJ. l Pigot. There is always n crowd about that case. and a special. attend ant Is installed there to guard 1t. for it contains articles of great value. But the Mazarln is not one of them. for it is not a diamond at all: it Is paste-a paste facsimile of which this Is the original. The directors of the Louvre. needing money, sold the original to the empress of Russia. who had a craze for precious stones and who at her death left this remarkable collection to her favorite son. who had inherited her passion. And now" he added. with gesture toward the glittering heaps. what shall we do with all this?'
 There's only one thing to do.' said Grady. awaking suddenly as from a | trance. "and that's to get them in a safe deposit box as quick as possible. There's no police safe I'd trust with ' 'em"
 Gan we find box of safe deposit at this hour of the night?" asked M
 Pigot. glancing at his watch. Tt Is almost 1 o'clock and half"
 That's easy in New York" said Gra-
 dy. "We'll take 'em over to the Day
 and Night bank on Fifth avenue. It
 never closes. Wait till I get something
 to put 'em in.''
 He went out and came back present. ly with a small valise.
 This will do." he said Stow 'em
 away. and I'll call up the bank and
 arrange for the box
 Simmonds and Pigot rolled up the

 the temptntion which would assail a
 man in the presence of so much beauty
 and value.
 "There they are" said Simmonds and
 closed the bag with a slicp as Grady
 came in agnln
 i've arranged for the box" said : Grady. and one of our wagons Is qt
 the door Simmonds. you go along with Moosseer Piggott and put an ex- tu man on the seat with the driver.
 Maybe that Crochard might try to hold you up"
 The same thought was in my own mind for Crochard must have learned of M Pigot's arrival. So was re lievcd that Grady was wise enough tc take no risk.
 You'd better get receipt" Grady went on. and arrange that the vaiis' Is to be delivered only when you ant Moosseer Piggott appear together That will be satisfactory. moosseerT he added. turning to the Frenchman. Entirely SO. sir. Au revoir. mon sieur." and with bow to me he fol lowed Simnonds into inc outer room. Grady sat down aul got out d fresh cigar.
 "Well, Mir. Lester" he said as he
 struck a match. what do you thinh , of these Frenchmen, anyway 2 ''They're marvellous l said. Ever , yet can't understand how he knew SO much. For instance. how did h' 2 know about those letters;'' s Fact is," broke in Grady. that's th' first I'd heard of 'em. What Is tha E story"
