utes past IL. The next half hour, at
most. would decide the question Of
whether he would or would not get up
from his bed and leave the room.
In the breathless interest of watch
ing HMM the unutterable triumph OF
seeing the first result Of the expert
ment declare itself in the manner and
nearly at the time which I had antici-
pated-I had utterly forgotten the two
companions OF my night vigil. Mr..
Bruf himself was looking eagerly
through a crevice left In the imperfect
ly drawn curtains of the bed. And
Betteredge. oblivious Of all respect for
social distinctions. was peeping over
Mr.. Bruff's shoulder.
They both started back on finding
that I was looking at them like two
boys caught out by their schoolmaster
I'm a fault. I signed to them to take
OF their boots quietly. as 1 was taking
of mine. If Mr.. Blake gave us the
chance Of following him 1t was vitality
necessary to follow him without noise.
Ten minutes passed-and nothing
happened. Then he suddenly threw
the bedclothes off him. He put one leg
out of bed. He waited.
II wish I had never taken it out Of
the bark" he said to himself. "It was
safe in the bank"
My heart throbbed fast. The pulses
at my temples beat %furiously. The
doubt about the safety OF the diamond
was. one more. the dominant impress

Of his eyes were now contracted. His
eyeballs cleaned in the light OF the
candle as he moved his head slowly
to and fro. He was thinking. He was
doubting-he spoke again.

Indians may be hidden in the house."
He stopped and walked slowly to the
other end Of the room. He turned,

He sat down on the side Of the bed.
Anybody might take It," he said.
He rose again restlessly and reiter-
ated his first words.
How do I know? The Indians may
be hidden In the house."
He looked about the room with the
vacant glitter in his eyes. 1t was a
breathless moment. There was a pause
of some sort. A pause in the action of
the opium? A pause in the action of
the brain? Who could tell? Everything
depended now on what he did next.
He laid himself down again on the
bed!
Were we to fail on the very brink of
success?
No. He got up again abruptly. How

MISSES WINTER SUITS.

The box coat for misses is very
youthful and becoming. Another style
for misses Is the fare coat, the fullness
starting from the shoulders and occa-
sionalIy from small yoke. This Is
also made quite short and taunty.
Sometimes these coats are made with
a fare back and a more fitted front
Russian styles are well liked for young
people. Some Of them fasten at the
side, while others button up the front
Belted coats will also be worn to
great extent Sometimes the belt APP
pears only at the sides, while in others
Il appears only in back and front
Many times belts are placed at low
waist line. High collars are worn with
almost all suits, frequently arranged so
as to be worn either open or closed.
Coat sleeves are in regulation style, set
on at a low shoulder or in modified
raglan effect. Flare and gauntlet Guns
are often used as n finishing touch.
