hugged to herself the tremen-

while her pulses hammered

new, incredible delight. He
loved her, and he was going in
an hour or two.
A sudden impulsive thought
seized her. She picked up a ring
from the dressing table and slip

room.
At sight of the open door a pan

CHAPTER XIV.
Poole's Explanation.

Intelligence of two facts had
somehow preceded Poole's ap-
pearanee at the breakfast table
the next morning-namely, that
he was about to bring his visit
to an abrupt close and that the
mystery of the rifled safe was at
last to be revealed.
$50 it's all to come out today?"
queried the colonel.
And you will all be pleased
with the result, I promise you,"
answered Poole.
But IL the jobs done that's
no reason for packing yourself
off in such short ORDER" Colonel
Winthrop protested.
I'm sorry, but I've got to
break away" said Poole.
Evelyn was silent; but after
breakfast, intercepting Poole
alone in the hall, she accosted
him. Must you really go to-
day."
Poole's eyes. meeting hers for
a moment and then turning
away, fell upon her hands. His
gaze was arrested-almost start
lingly-by a cleaning solitaire
diamond which she was now
wearing on the fourth finger of
her left hand.
81 must really-today," he an
swered, with decision, his eyes
fixed as in a trance upon the ring.
by the way" Poole abruptly
changed the subject, would you
mind getting that packet of dia-
monds from the bank this morn
ing?"
An hour later Poole found Eve
lyn in the library with Archie,
who had accompanied her to the
bank. She greeted Poole with
smile and held up the sealed
package.
He took the packet, and with
glance at the intact seals flung
IL down upon the table by the
window.
"And now for the safe" said
Poole. IF you'll call the 9TH
ers-"
"What-now?" exclaimed Eve
Ign She dashed from the room
to summon Colonel Winthrop and
Jack.
A moment later Evelyn. with
Jack and Colonel Winthrop fol-
lowing, entered the room.
You might break the seals and
open that packet of diamonds"
Poole said to Evelyn.
Evelyn tore off the outer cover,
disclosing the tissue paper wrap
ping around the stones. Poole
took the package and deposited
the packet again upon the table
and faced his auditors with
smile.
The mystery of the stolen
ruby is in reality very simple.
The fact Is that the ruby has
Never been stolen at ALL"
But who took ft?" demanded
Colonel Winthrop.
Nobody" said Poole.
A murmur OF bewilderment
went round the circle.

on Poole. He drew from his peck

in this box that Miss Winthrop

The Burglar.

Later that morning Evelyn
paid a visit to Joe Squirting. He
looked up eagerly as she seated
herself beside his cot.
Its awfully good of you to
drop I'm and see me this way. It's
plagued tiresome lying everlast-
ingly on your back when you
can't turn over"
Il know 1t must be, but you
had a visitor yesterday after
noon." she said.
Mr.. Poole? Oh, yes, like
him." said Squirting.
So do l." said Evelyn. but
he's going away this afternoon"
"No-that so7 Then / won't see
him AGAIN."
We've had the biggest mys-
terry at the house for the last two
weeks. Mr.. Poole has solved 1t
at last, and it's really the biggest
joke
Squirting looked up delightedly.
"Oh, then, Poole's told, has he2
I'm glad it's ali cleared up and
that it wasn't anything but a
joke. OF course, l knew 1t must
be a joke"
How do you mean?" asked
Evelyn, in some bewilderment.
Why, 1t was me who bored the
safe for your cousin, Mr.. Archie
Winthrop. He explained that it
was only to be a game mock
burglary. he said. But 1 must
say l didn't quite relish it-forc-
ing my way into the house and
drilling that old safe In the dead
of night, even IL I did have his
word for il. Mr.. Poole asked me
point blank yesterday i'll wasn't
the Chap who did 1t, so / up and
told him yes"
A quarter of an hour later Eve
lyn motored homeward with
grave and perplexed frown upon
her face.
Kenii Kato had completed
Poole's packing at the house, and
then had collected his own mod
est belongings. His little room in
the bungalow now presented a
metieulously neat and clean fnte-
rior. One object alone remained
unpacked: a piece of gold Nishi-
gin brocade-a treasure he had
produced from some mysterious
source and which, folding it with
deft fingers. he nov proceeded to
wrap In fine rice-paper. While
he was thus engaged he kept an
expeetant lookout at the window.
When he caught sight of Eve
lyn returning in the motor car his
eye lighted eagerly. Picking up
the package of brocade. he sal.
lied forth TO overtake her, on her
way from the garage to the
house.
Miss winthrop will pardon a

Children of Pensacola to Enjoy
Automobile Ride on Thursday

On these VIZ lrm summer days, with
the thernomet or at ninety or more in
the shade, we are apt to think more
about keeping cool ourselves. than of
the comforts oil others, but now and
then someone does remember, and
take thought for those others. and one
of these is Miss Janet Harris. who
having enjoyed so many pleasant
rides in her own machine. and who
loves to see children happy, has plan
ned an automobile ride for the chill
dren of Pensacola and the members of
the Womans Home.
Miss Harris, in telling The Journal
about her plan, was very insistent that
she should not get the credit for having
originated the pretty idea. 1t was sug-
gested to her, so she said. by some
one else, and she had only carried out
these plans. That she has carried
them out most successfully is evil
denced by the fact that not only will
the children OF The Pearl Eagan Home
and as many of those at the Woman's
Home as wish to do 50, take part but
about twenty five children who have
been recommended by the Salvation
Army will also enjoy the outing.
