WHEN, ten minutes later, he lifted his
w head, he uttered sharp cxclama-
tion Of astonishment, and sprang to his
feet and stared.
Straight ahead of him, at the far end
of the big room, and just above plat
form that extended Mt the top Of n
short fight Of steps, the afternoon sun
was streaming into the chalet through
wide expanse Of plate glass window
from over which the steel shutters had
been magically withdrawn.
He knew what has happened. The
book that he had thrown--and he had
no idea where 1t had struck--had hit
against and operated the mechanism OF
that shutter.
With an exclamation Of joy he started
toward the uncovered window.
The Wisdom Of Lady Kate
While he looked he saw Carruthers
step out upon the platform of the boat
house, and behind him came Harvard ;
and he also saw that Carruthers, as
IL he had already observed the unshut-
| tered window of the chalet, made some
remark to Harvard which called his
attention to it.
| At the same time Katherine was
working out her own plan. First she
must see Madame Savage.
Madame" she said, when she had
been admitted to the old lady's room,
81 read a story long ago that was
called The Jewel Worshiper.' 1t has
given me an idea for the entertainment
of my guests. / want to reproduce the
scheme of that story in a tableau, and
l can do so If you will help me out
! you, and Miriam Salisbury, and two
or three Of the others. Will you dc
it?"
"Surely. my dear. What is 1t that
! you want?" madame replied.
II want your jewelsn-all of them
! The most beautiful ones, and the rarest
one you possess, particularly, and Mrs
Saulsbury's pear shaped diamonds; and
Betty Clancys wonderful pearls; and
and all that can get hold Of"
"Surely. Come and get them when
ever you want them, dear"
"But I want them now. Let me see
there is the one you thought the bur-
glars tried to get the other night; and
there is---'' She paused moment
then added: But don't suppose you
would care to let me use that one"
"Do you mean the"
Nine. Savage laughed.
"Of course you can have that, too
she said. Bend nearer, my dear, and
let me whisper while 1 tell you where
it is. You will be surprised, but
always hide it in outlandish places
where nobody would ever think of look
ing for it. 1t is" she whispered close
to Katherine's ear-'inside of that
scrubby old cane that I always carry
when I 60 for walk, and put away
in the corner of the music room behind
the piano when / return. Bring the
cane to me, dear. and I'll show you
| how to open it. What do you think OF
that for hiding place? Eth, my dear?''
Katherine brought the cane hurriedly
with large round knob at its top.
"There it is, dear" she said. 'Takt
| it. Keep it as long as you please, only
be careful where you put it after yor
show it in the tableau. Stand the
cane over there in the corner she
added as she readjusted it.
"Oh, no." Katherine replied, smil.
ing. II will put in back in the music
room where found it." X
