Somehow, 1 was not in the least surprised at Alice's confession. l al- ready knew that Tony had been con- cerned in the purchase of the brace let.
 But what did surprise me was the general secretiveness which Alice had displayed over the whole affair. Plead ing shortness of funds, she had bor- rowed money from me on more than one occasion. She'd made no effort to repay the money l had expended on getting the wretched pliece of jewelry out of pawn Nor had she given me back the hundred dollars that I had lent to her quite recently.
 It was difficult to feel any pity for Alice Anstruther. Yet-sitting there, dabbing her eyes dejectedly-she was a pitable little object.
 And-there was my promise to her husband.
 "Tony is rascal. I'm sick to death of telling you so, Alice," I said, shortly. 1 got up from the leather couch, and began to pace the floor. It was rather different to collect my thoughts.
 "I want mp bracelet back" walled Alice, much after the order of petted child, whose favorite toy has been taken from it. "Tony is a-a thief" "
 I wheeled round and looked at her. Alice's affection for this interruptions youth must be seriously shallow, when she was so ready to condemn him.
 "You say the real value of the brace let is two thousand dollars. Well, do your debts to Tony amount to that sum-or not?
 "I'm sure I haven't got the faintest notion," cried Alice, pettishly. "Oh Helene, don't stare at me in that hard, condemning way! Just as though you were female policeman! I sat down once more beside her on the couch. My tones were quite gen. tie as I said:
