Yearly in the day, and so he was able to send Hse on wild goose chase after a sensation that didn't exist. There's where was a fool. But I discovered the secret drawer ten days ago-while the ca binet was still at Vantine's-the evening after the yelled iady got her letters. It was easy enough. I am surprised you didn't think of it. Lester.
 Think of what?" asked.
 "Of the key to the mystery. The drawer containing the letters was on the left side of the desk; saw at once that there must be another draw CT, opened in the same way, on the right side''
 sI didn't see if" I said. ..I don't see it yet"
 taThink a minute. Why was Drouet killed Because he opened the wrong drawer. He pressed the combination at the right side of the desk, instead of that at the left side, The fair Julie must have thought the drawer was on the right side. instead of the left. It was a mistake very easy to make, since her mistress doubtless had her back turned when Julie saw her open the drawer. The suspicion that 1t was JIlie's mistake becomes certainty when she shows the combination to yantine, and he is killed. too. Be sides, the yelled lady herself made remark which revealed the whole story She said she was accustomed to opening the drawer with her left hand, instead of with her right. After that, there could be no further doubt. So discovered the drawer very. simply"
 "Yes,'' I'said, land then?'
 ''rhen removed the jewels. took them down to a dealer in paste gems and duplicated them sas closely as I could. I had hard time getting good copy of this big rose diamond"

 ~ ODFREY picked the big dia- G mond from the heap and held A M it up between his fingers.
 Its a beauty, isn't it?'' he asked.
 NJ. Pigot smiled dry smile.
 "It is the Mazarin.' he said, "and is worth three million francs There is copy of it at the Louvre
 We'll continued Godfrey, 'after I got the duplicates, rolled them up in the cotton packets, and placed them back in the drawer, being careful to put the Mazarin at the bottom, where I had found it. Crochard knew that the game was up the instant he opened the first packet Do you suppose he would be deceived? Not by the best reproduction ever madei'
 And then I remembered the slow flush which had crept into Crochard's s cheeks as he opened that first packet sI didn't expect to deceive him. Godfrey explained. E'I just wanted to give him a little surprise And to think I wasn't there to see it,''
 .But if he knew they were imita- tions,r I protested, .1why should be go to all that trouble to steal them ?"
 That is what puzzled me last night, 7 said Godfrey, "and for that matter, it puzzles me yet, but Pm ready to turn these diamonds over to you. I should l like you to count them, and give me a receipt for them.''
 And then, of course, you will write the story sneered Grady. ssand give yourself all the credit
 ..Well,p asked Godfrey, looking at him. sdo you think you deserve any?'' And Grady could only crimson and keep silent. "As for the story. it is al ready written. It will be on the streets in ten minutes, and it will create a sen sation. Please count the diamonds. You will find 21O of them
 That is the exact number stolen from the grand duke.'' remarked NJ. Pigot and fell to counting. The num- Der was 210.
 ''Mr Shearrow has the receipt GodfEey added. And Shearrow took a paper from his pocket. unfolded it and read the contents.
 It proved to be not only receipt, but a full statement of the facts of the case, without emitting the details of 1 the robbery and the credit due the 1 Record for the recovery of the dia- monds. Grady's face grew redder and redder as the reading proceeded

nlends.u present, last night he added blandIy, when Crochard opened the secret drawer.
 ~Is it true that the theft of the Michaelovitch diamonds was planned by Crochard?1 asked Godfrey.
 Undoubtedly. No other thief in France would be capable of it. He ar ranged the affair so cleverly that we were wholly unable to convict him unless we should find him with the stolen brilliants in his possessfon4' g
 And you were not able to do that?"
 No; we could discover no trace of the brilliants, though we searched for them everywhere
 But you did not know of the Boule cabinet and of the secret drawer?"
 No; of that we knew nothing. I must examine that famous cabinet
 'sIt is worth examining. And it has an interesting history. But you did know. of course, that Crochard would seek market for the diamonds here in America ?'' /
 We knew that he would try to do so, and we did everything fin our power to prevent it. We. especially relied upon your customs department
 teThe customs people did their part, 2 said Godfrey. with a ehuckle. ."They have quite upset t1ae country! But the diamonds got in in spite Of them, for, of course, a cabinet imported by a man so we'll known and so above sus- picion as MT. Vantine was passed with out question:
 "Crochard won't try to sell them, ? said Godfrey

 Because he hasn't got them," an swered Godfrey. smiling with an eyi- dently deep enjoyment of Grady's dag ed countenance-

 ~But I don't understandw Grady gasped. Have you got Crochard too?''
 No srich luck,'' said Godfrey.
 DO you mean to say he'd give these up without a fghfy'
 My dear Grady said Godfrey, q haven't seen Crochard since the min ute you took him off the boat. I'd have had him. if you had let Simmonds call me- That's what I had planned But he was too clever for us knew that he would come today
 ssYou knew thai he would come to- day?'' repeated Grady bIsnkly- How did you know that-or is it merely hot air9ss

DUMMY. sroPs TROLLEY CARS.

Motormen on Fairfield avenue cars received numerous scares last night as a result of a gang of boys getting hold of a clothing store dummy, se- Ieeting a dark place near police head quarters and placing it on the track whenever a car approached. The fun continued until Detective Luke Pe- truschell came along and confiscated the silent figure. It remained in po- lice headquarters for the rest of the night and scared many visitors, the putty-like face giving the impression, when first noted, that it was another ping dend.
