The small party OF Great Fish

with Homburg hat
The story OF the search was outlined
briefly to the millionaire owner OF the
biggest breweries in the country; the
piece OF gold plate was produced; the
expert took it TO the window TO examine
in full light with the aid OF a magni-
flying glass. After him went the very
interested young friend of Great Fish,
whose presence, ushered in by such a
power, was permissible Great" FiSh'S
prototype was talking TO the chief super

man in gray, and Great Fish's proto-
type could be heard saying that upon
the damned worry of the loss OF the big
collection was coming. probably, the
damnedest worry of the lot-his brew
cry hands were working sulIen.
"Congratulation, Fish, cried his
friend.
This is the original!" the expert pro-
nounced.
Ten minutes later they had gone. In
the street Mr.. Captain said to the ex-
pert:
Il only stopped you on the moment
1t was very-very-ve-ry close"
The other replied: The piece is

The value of the metal and work

Park corner. To the footman who
opened the door he said quietly:
You go and tell Mrs. Fish | wish tc
see her in private"
Mrs. Fish is resting before going
out"
is Mr.. Fish OUT"
"He is"
Having aScertained this. the man ii
sray repeated his demand. Receiving the
same rebuff. he wrote a few words or
leaf OF his pockctbook, ordered it tc
be taken to the lady Immediately, and
added Show me to a room while
wait"
The footman sent the note by sub
ordinate, allowed the caller a chair in
the hall, and kept guard over him. All
these precautions the "isitor observed
with a cool and urbanc amusement The
subordinate returned to say the lady
would receive the gentleman.
He found a tall, Overblown woman
sitting on a couch in a pink-lightcd
boudoir. She said quickly, in high
voice that tried to be pcrcmptory, but
which only succeeded in trembling:
You are intruding at a time | liki

He replied with extreme gravity:
Madam, am Enfield, from Scotland
Yard, as my note said. and have to in
sist on disturbing your rest"
Sit down. Mr. Enfield said Mrs.
Fish, with some attempt at urbanity. He
sat.
Madam. have to ask you. in the
light OF recent investigations We have
made, where you obtained the money
which your husband refused you to pay
the immense bills OF Lucien, Lc Grand
Jardin. and your wine merchant for
your celebrated BALI"
Silence.
The bills have been paid" said the
man from Scotland Yard. Il have seen
the booking entries. Your husbands
collection of gold plate has also disap-
peared.
Your husband knows nothing of this
discovery of ours. We approach you
first out of regard to your feelings,
wishing, if possible, to tighten the reve-
lations. If you will make me a full
confession here and now, madam, we
may be able to restore the Great Fish
collection, at no cost to yourself. by de-
manding it from the receiver of stolen
goods

in the business from your husband if
you wished"

wish! Sakes, man-if | wish!"
Il think, as l say, it can be arranged,
if you will give me all information con-
cerning the transaction. We could get

The Young man told the story with a

said:

Captain considered matters.

a crisp but detailed description of the
slouch- -shouldcred man in gray.
"Ah!" said the commander. That
that must have been Enfield. Enfield

Again Charles Captain considered mat
tiers very slowly, and smile dawned
about his mouth.

This being the kind of commodity

That is quite good-quite," murmur-
ed the young man, examining it. "Yes,
that is the man.
He handed back the photograph.
