to obtain access to the house. In reply to
the magistrate Mr.. Luker admitted that
he had no evidence to produce of any
attempt at robbery being in contempla-
ton. He could speak positively to the
annoyance and interruption caused by the
Indians, but not to anything else. The
magistrate remarked that, If the annoy
ance were repeated the applicant could
summon the Indians to that court, where
they might easily be dealt with under the
act. AS to the valuabes in Mr.. Luker's
possession, Mr.. Luker himself must take
the best measures for their safe custody.
He would do we'll, perhaps, to communi-
cate with the police and to adopt such ad-
dtional precautions as their experience
might suggest. The applicant thanked his

observes three Indian jugglers acting

Franklin has the diamond. which has
been willed to his cousin Rachel as
birthday gift by Colonel Herncastle.
He puts the stone in bank. The Jug

Rachel receives the moonstone on her
birthday. Among the guests Is Mr.
Murthwaite, an Indian traveller. The
next morning the diamond is missing.
Superintendent Of Police Seegrave Is
called in to investigate, and the three
Indians are imprisoned. Suspicion also

detective. is retained and begins his
work. He is checked, however, when
Rosanna, who Lady Verinder admits
has had prison record, refuses to
have her room searched. 1t develops
that Rosanna has visited neighbor,
Mrs. Golland, and borrowed tin case
This Sergeant Cuff suspects she has
buried in the swamp secured by two
dog chains, also borrowed. Rosanna
shows signs of nervousness. Sergeant
Cuff asks that Miss Rachel be kept ut
home. He later visits Frizinghall to
interview the three Indians. On re-
turning he sees note in which Rosan-
ia tells that the quiclsand has become
her grave. Sergeant Cuff suspects that
Miss Nerinder and Rosanna had Sc
cret between them relating to the moon
stone. He wants to question her, but
Lady Nerinder objects, offering to do
the questioning herself. She writes to
the sergeant that her daughter and
Rosanna had had nothing between

Ing. He brought me two letters. One,
from Penelope, announced that my
lady and Miss Rachel were safely es-
tabished in London. The other, from
MIR. Jeffco, informed me that his mas
ters son had left England already.
The next morning Mr. Franklin had
started for foreign parts. To what par
ticuar place he was bound nobody,
himself included, could presume to
guess. We might hear of him next in
Europe, Asia, Africa or America. The
chances were as equally divided as
possible, in Mr.. Jeffco's opinion, among
the four quarters of the globe.
This news, by closing up all prospect
of my bringing Limping Lucy and Mr.
Franklin together, at once stopped any
further progress of mine on the way
to discovery.
The news of Mr.. Tranklin's departure
from England on the Sunday morning
and the news of my lady's arrival in
London with Miss Rachel on the Mon
day afternoon had reached me, as you
are aware, by the Tuesdays post. The
Wednesday came and brought nothing.
The Thursday produced second bud
get of news from Penelope.
My girls letter informed me that
some great London doctor had been
consulted about her young lady and
had earned a guinea by remarking that
she had better be amused. Flower
shows, operas. balls-there was whole
round Of gayeties in prospect, and Miss
Rachel, to her mothers astonishment,
eagerly took to it all Mr.. Godfrey had
called. evidently as sweet as ever Oh
his cousin in spite of the reception he
had met with when he tried his luck
on the occasion Of the birthday. To
Penelope's great regret he had been
most graciously received and had add
ed Miss Rachels name to one of his
ladies' charities on the spot. My mis-
tress was reported to be ont of spirits
and to have held two long interviews
with her lawyer. Certain speculations
followed referring to a poor relation
of the family, one Miss Clack, whom
l have mentioned in my account of the
birthday dinner as sitting next to Mr.
Godfrey and having pretty taste in
champagne.
