ASKS TO SEE PEARL.

Perry Mason could not suppress

see the pearl taken from the burglar.
Now, there had been no mention Of
the pearl In the news account, ana
he reluctantly produced the Jewel,
wondering meanwhile where the
strange information could have come
from. Only the surprise occasioned
by Ilma's question accounted for his

and assured themselves that IL was

brought no relief to the nervous
Stayne, who plainly showed the strain
under which he was laboring.
GOOD news?" he asked, facing
them.
They shook their heads.
Cant you hit on some evidence TO
clear me?" His voice rose ana

"You see, didn't do 1t. never set
eyes on the fellow before last night

started for the door.
But Harry was before her. You're
not going there again., he salo;
Come now, lima, give up the key"
And lima, still refusing. found the
key forced from her hand.

MISSES THE APPARITIoN.

Evidently he was satisfied that all
was well, and he withdrew into the
dining room Just in time to miss the
sight OF an apparition coming down
the stairs. The executioner. whose
watch over lima had never relaxed,
tiptoed along carefully toward the
front door as though he expected
some one. He even tried the knob. but
quietly slipped back into the shadow
when he realized that some one was
trying to enter.

the door noiselessly and stepped In

question was how to get evidence 10

SLIPS KEY INTO HAND.

In a ut of despair she sank into her
chair and, hiding her head in her
hands, gave way to a spell of weep
ing. Harry ran to comfort her, leav-
ing the cause OF all the trouble on
the table. The astute Stayne quietly
picked up the key, and while the
young man was engaged in trying to
reassure lima, surreptitiously slipped
it into her hand.

eff 1t isn't TO be, 1t isn't" She went
out, and Harry and Stayne were left
to wonder what would happen next In
this strange net OF circumstantiai
evidence.
Meanwhile Perry Mason, having got
rid Of his inquisitive callers, racked
his brains as to where they could
have learned that he had taken
pearl from the burglar. II made him
uneasy. Had he been watched2 He
answered a call from police headquar-
ters and his face lighted as he heard
that the finger prints had been identi-
ned as those of Stayne, alias Har-
Gibson, alias Haynes-burglar, bank
robber, accomplish Of Jimmy Hope
in the Manhattan Bank robbery.
The negro butler stood shaking his
head gloomily during this converse
ton, so much SO that his employer
saw ft to slap him on the back after
he had hung up the receiver.
Cheer up" he said, gayly, they're
on his track"
But the negro refused to believe It
and moved away. while Mr.. Mason
looked angrily after him.
Ilma's sudden exit from Harry's
apartment was the result OF her de-
termination to return to the Mason
house alone and there do everything
in her power to clear Stayne and
thus recover not only his pearl, but
the one in the possession of Perry
Mason.
With this end in view she proceed
ed cautiously in the evening to the
mansion to which she now had the
key. Before her arrival there was
no sign OF life within. The solitude
seemed absolute. Finally a light ap-
peared and the butler moved about
downstairs, pesring this way and
that as though he feared a ghost.
