HOLDS sULTAN's DAGGER.

ment q knock interrupted Harry's
counting. lima Jumped up, opened
the door. and the stern figure OF the
executioner appeared, holding In his
hand the dagger of the Sultan

ragged Harry. but the emissary OF the
commander OF the faithful paid no

"See that you DO" answered her es-

attempt to be gay she turned to the

she said. taking three from the little
pocket in which she kept the Jewels,
then she unwrapped the paper, with
cry she started back, the paper
contained not the priceless pearl she
had placed there, but a common moth
ball.
Ilma's eyes hIled with tears, she
threw the moth ball to the noor at

ance OF the real gem. In ran Harry,
racking his brains in an effort to
place the blame on Stayne.
The burglar, after leaving Harry's
apartment hastened to call up the
man who had informed him about
the pearl earrings. and in so doing
crossed the path OF a bearded
stranger who seemed interested in
his actions.

he held out between his thumb and
torennger the pearl he had stolen
from the table. Still Stayns hesi-
! tated: the stranger then removed his
false beard and slipped the mask for
a moment over his eyes. Stayne un-
derstood! here was the man he had
seen slip into Harrys room and filch
the pearl from under the very eyes OF
Its owners.
"You see." said Perry Mason. Now
| here's my proposition-whyn not work
together and gather in all the
! pearls?"
Stayne could not conceal the
eupidity with which this proposal in
spired him. and Perry saw that he
had won him over. The two men
walked to a neighboring saloon. there
to lay plans to secure the pearls con-
rerning which Stayne's accomplice
had phoned him.
After Harry had succeeded In
cheering up lima he remembered the
Sanderlee address and persuaded her
to forget her present loss and think
only OF the pearls that Miss Sander

beautiful day and the autumn
coIors had mantled the foliage In
wonderfully artistic effects. As they
bowled along they were passed by a
fast car IN the tonneau of which
Iolled a dapper young man smoking
a cigarette.
He. too. was on his way to call on
Hiss Sanderlee: It was he who had
given her the earrings and he was now
eager TO receive the thanks OF the girl
he was to marry.
Miss Sanderlee's delight over his mag
nIhcent present was unbounded the

CALLS SANDERLEE HOME.

Shortly thereafter, however, he
picked up the telephone and called the
Sanderlee home. The butler received
his message and hastened to find the
owner OF the pearl earrings. Miss
Sanderlee was in her room where she
had removed the costly ornaments
which seemed to have lost their spell.
with Ilma's accusation hanging over
them. The earrings lay on the dress
ing table as the butler was admit
ted.
He bowed profoundly. That annoy
ing person who was here wishes to
speak TO you on the telephone" he an
nounced.
Miss Sanderles departed, leaving a
maid in the room. The maid was a
nuffy young person, always fattered by
the attentions of the good-looking but
Ter. In her hand she held a vacuum
cleaner. and she swished this up and
down over portiere as the man ap-
preached.
The canny buffers eyes spotted the
earrings, but the maid was watching
him out OF the corner Of her eyes. How
could he secure them? brilliant
thought made him smile. He advanced
to the maid and put his arm about her
waist at the same time taking the
cleaner out OF her hand. The maid pro-
tested. and in the friendly struggle the
butler managed to bring the nozzle OF
the cleaner directly over the pearls,
which disappeared as II by magic.
The butler had timed his theft to q
nicely. Stayne, hearing the voice Of
Miss sanderlee over the telephone. as
sumed as best he could the tone Of

The young woman started TO reply.
but Stayne had gone: nor could she
get the connection again. She rushed
to her room. surprising the butler kiss
ing the maid; but she paid slight at
tention to them as she ran TO her dress
ing table. The earrings were gone.

the angry girl to the butler and the
maid. Il don't know which OF you did

DENIES DoRoTHgA's CLAIM,

There was no mistaking that fact,
but Miss Sanderlee's fiance broke into
q laugh.
"'Yes, they are alike" he admitted.
"but most pearls are alike. Does that
prove anything7 Decidedly not. 1t
gives you no claim whatever. Ny ad-
vice to you. Dorthea, is to hang onto
the pearls"
"rhat sounds sensible to me-"
agreed Miss SanderIee. I'm sorry,
but I don't see why 1 am called on to
give up these pearls on such q flimsy
pretext"
VERY WELL" said lima, "those pearls
are stolen and they will be stolen
again and again until they are re-
turned to their rightful owner"
Miss Sanderlee called the butler and
pointed to the door. and Harry and
lima went out thoroughly dishearten-
ed.
Stayne In the meantime had not
been idle: with Perry Mason and an
aecomplice he was waiting at the
boathouse for word from the butler.
To this boathouss came the execu-
tioner passing through the tall grass
and bushes and watched by two boys
who were flying a kite from the point
that jutted into the hudson. The exc
cutioner's entrance into the boathouse
was unheralded. but the moment he
opened the door three pistols flashed
upon him. He smiled, and addressing
himself to Perry ignored the others.
Remember" he said tersely, "1f
happens to the girl you die"
And having uttered this warning he
closed the door and disappeared, to
the intense amazement Of the two
companions OF the aviator.
Never mind him." said Perry to the |
others. "he's crazy; he doesn't count"
The others grumbled but said no
more; they could see the fIance of
Miss Sanderlee depart as his limou-
sine rolled down the driveway. Also |
they could see Harry and lima walk
away. "We1l hear from the butler
soon," said Stayne; and his words
were In the nature OF a prophecy. The |
bell rang and the burglar hastened |
to listen. What he heard made him
smile; he waved the others away as
they pressed him for information.

that he never would see her again
Al once he began 10 follow her
