Then, contemptuously, facing them
all, 1 told Vantino to search me.
An hour later Vantine gave it up.
He had summoned the butler. sent
his iancee from the room, and the
three men had stripped me. Failing
to discover the authentic ring, they
had repeatedly searched the room.
But Miss Kernocha7 had taken her
vanity bag with her when she left
the room. l could only pray that in
the excitement she would forget to
powder her nose. And when at

SPARED Of finding the ring, they
sent the butler for the young wom-
an. In my presence they held a
council of war, and the upshot of
their conversation was that Vantine
started for the telephone to call the
police. Speaking mildly, 1 stopped
him.
"Of course you understand"
said, that I shall bring suit for
criminal SANDER and for false inn
prisonment. 1t seems to me that
man in my position ought to be able
to collect substantial damages-say,

he paused.

is something else to be considered.
You are the head of a famous detec-

If you declare that I have stolen a
ring in your very presence, and are
unable to prove the theft and you
can only prove it by finding the ring
what sort of an advertisement will
1t be for your agency?"
I let this sink in; I enjoyed the
expression on Vantine's face. Pop
eyed men should never permit them
selves to look angry. They are I'M
beautiful at best, and at their worst
they are extremely offensive.
You don't think we're going to

replied. And if this nonsense
ceases at once, I shall let the matter
drop. Otherwise" My pause was a
threat.

eyes. Yet 1 despised him so thor
oughly that 1 moderated his abili-
ties. He whispered a moment with
Kernochan, but 1 thought that they
We're merely arguing the advisability
of risking the suit which threat

turned to me and gruffly stated that
1 was. at liberty to leave, I bowed,
and turning to go, distracted the
ring from the vanity bag which Miss
Kernochan had placed again upon
the table. Oh, I was still an anna
teur in those days. Also, was too
confident in my own wit, and too
given to contemptuous appraisal of
the wit Of others. For, just as we
reached the door, Vantine said:
II think we'd better search you
once again; Ainsley."
I suppose 1 went white. I should
have known that no one but an ut
ter fool would have permitted me to
depart so easily, and Vantine read
my horror. He turned to his
fiancee.

We'll search this man"
