wish nlingworth Immediately began
to take down his deposition. 1t was
not long, but TO those who heard it
it possessed a deep significance, and
it made Inspector Cortelyou think a
good deal about certain conclusions
to which he had come.
My name is julius Steinthal. and
hold several degrees from German
and English universities" dictated
the patient. Il have taught science
in both countries, and at one time
was well off. Lately l have been eX
tremcly poor. and. having no friends,
| have lived in the RowtOn lodging
houses. l have no property.
During the last year or two
have vainly endeavored to sell some
great colliery proprietor new
patent of immense value. l par
ticularly brought this invention be-
fore the notice of Sir Robert Man
hershey, with whom / have in better
days, stayed asa guest. l considered
that he treated me with neglect.
Finally l raised money and came to
Mannersley, to make personal APP
peal to him. i CHANGED to meet him
near the castle. He absolutely de-
clined to entertain my offer. and
was very naughty towards me. Il
wandered about in the fields until
nightfall, and then. being desperate,
resolved to make a last appeal TO
him. ! approached the castle by the
lawn. and knowing the place, ! en-
tered by the open library window.
Il entered his study: he received
me coldly. but on hearing that l was
in want, sat down TO write me q
check. | was standing behind him:
a dagger which he used as a paper
knife lay close by. l was suddenly
seized with ungovernable fury and
! picked it up. plunged ii into his
lack, and rushed from the house
After that ! do not remember any
thing until this evening. But this is
the truth. I killed him in a fit of
sudden madness"
There was deep silence while
Steinthal made this confession. and
it lasted until after he had formally
signed il. And when that was done
Inspector Cortelyou. making sign
to Quinton. went quietly out of the
room and into the night.
A certain theory OF his had been
upset, and he was now on the edge
of a new field of discovery.

There is no i'll fortune attached to
them. My object in buying them was
TO give them TO my dear daughter on
her twenty first birthday. Now, it is
naughty to tell the price of pres
ent to the person to whom the
present is given, but YOU will under
stand that L must tell you-well. not
the price, but the worth of these
diamonds, as determined by the
best experts. They are worth thirty
thousand pounds.
Now. ii anything should happen
to me suddenly. dear. wear these
diamonds, and remember the pleas
ure that 1t gave your father to buy
them for the dearest daughter in the
world.
1.-THE diamonds are in the drawer
marked "A IN my safe in the libta---.
They are as safe there as they would
be If they had been lodged in a bank.
MY Phillipa's loving
FATHER"
Inspector Cortelyou came quietly
back to the table. and quietly laid
the letter by Phillipa's side.
Thank YOU. Miss Mannersley," he
said "wen:"
We'll" Inspector said PhiIlipa.
'you may be sure that this letter
was a great surprise TO me. l i'm

and to Mr.. Quinton. and they agreed
that the first thing TO he done was

The solicitor and the manager
were watching the detective mar
rowly. But Inspector Corteiyou
showed no sign except one of polite
interest. and it was a full minute be-
fore he spoke
Wei. Miss Msnnersley.- he said
at last. cit is highly probable that
your father transferred those dia-
monds elsewhere. He may have
reconsidered matters and sent them to
his bank
In that case said Phii,ipa
promptly. Il should have learned Of
the fact from the bank before now. :"
Inspector Cortelyou smiled.
True" he said. 80 you would.
bue there are other places to which,
your father could have transferred
them"
THAT" said Mr.. BarnweIl ";s
precisely what said to Miss Man
nersley. There are safe deposits. for
instance in which Sir Robert may
have placed them"
But Phillipa shook her head.
No" she said with decision. For
in that case my father would have
altered the last paragraph of this
letter. He was the most methodical
of men. No. those diamonds have
been stoien-stolen,"
What was the looking little
detective thinking Of? His face had
suddenly grown animated; his eyes
began to blaze; he clapped his right
hand to something in his breast
pocket and Jumped to his feet.

Inspection Cortelyou took the letter
and. putting on his google spectacles,
went over to the hearth to read IL.
And this is what he read:
My Dearest Love:

private papers. I apprehend that in

Beth Quinton a nd the detective

neither man spoke. Then the man

late. and there's no need to trouble
Miss Mannersley with all these hor-

Just so.r agreed Inspector Cor

Then We'll get the driver to take
us to my rooms, and you shall have

keys. But the detective almost
pushed the girl aside.
NO, no." he said. "Eo-wait."
He drew out OF hisNtrousers pocket
bunch OF keys and, selecting one
a curiously fashioned thing-inserted
it in the lock. The safe door swung
slowly open amidst the ordinations
of Phillipa and the two men.
THERE" said the detective. Those
keys were taken from Marshall Stead
this morning. He's got the dia-
now, though / hadn't I'VE minutes
since, where theY-are."

was awaiting him there with such
haste that he had already taken his
seat when Quinton caught him up.

Come, by all means" answered
Inspector Cortelyou. Il have told
the man where I want to go. You
may come with me If you like"
Yes" said ouinton. Where is
that?'
Z am going to Marshall stead's
I hope I may find those diamonds
there"
You do?" exclaimed Quinton half
incredulously. You think he got
them:"
Certainly. I figure It out this
way" said the inspector. Stead,
from all I can learn. was very much
in the late Sir Robert Mannersley's
confidence. In fact. he seems to
have treated him more like one Of
the family-almost like a son, in
fact"
Yes" said Quinton. Yes, that is
So"
What more likely, then. than that
the baronet should take him into his
confidence about those diamonds"
said the detective. 1T Is extremely
likely that he would do so. What is
absolutely certain it that stead pro-
vided himself with a duplicate key
OF the safe. as you have just seen.
All this is only serving 10 elucidate
a mystery which is apart from the
murder
