Who Stole the Grown Jewels?

| probing the furniture-not only the
apartment. but M. st. Georges busi-
ness premises. We found no trace
of the diamonds. But we found one
or two other little matters of interest.
We found the inkstand. We found
two half-packed trunks in bedroom.
M. st. Georges admitted he had in
tended to go for journey but had
changed his mind. And we found in
an escritolre number of notes from
Jules Monnier to Gustave ST. Georges
totaling nearly four hundred thousand
francs.
M. Dieulafoy seized on them.
"Yesr%he cried. These are Renu-
Inc signatures! But"-he looked be-
wildered+"four hundred thousand
francs This, then, is how Monnier
financed his friendship with Mile
Angele!"
When we came to making a search
or Nj. st. Georges himself we made
another discovery. In his pocket was
an envelope, sealed with blue wax,
and that envelope contained the mar
riage certificate, dated a year pre-
vtously, of Nine. Angelo Dubois, nee
Angelo Levasseur.
This, then, is what you took from
Mile. Levasseur's apartment at 1920
this evening" said the commissary.
And bribed the honne not to men
ton! Why did you steal this certifi-
cate?"
M st. Georges shrugged.
Il had perfect right to it" he said.
Il require it to prove my claim to the
succession. My real name is Henri
Dubois. Mile. Angelo was my wife" !"
Your wife" The commissary stared
at him. "Then"-he waved his hand
toward Monnier's I. o. U.'s-''you de-
liberately financed Monnier, that he
might make love to your wife?"
My morals are my own affair. M.
le Commissaire. One may be eccen-
trically generous without interference
from the police"
But why did you give a false name
and address in my shop?" cried the
jeweler, exasperated by this blank
wall.
"A whim," replied NJ ST. Georges.
What have you to complain of If /
choose to give fictitious name3 l
paid for the work you did. / did not
cheat you"
diamonds were not on NJ. st, Georges
premises, nor any other clear evi-
dence connecting him with their dis
appearance, there was nothing to do
but to retire. But outside the build
ing the commissary placed the police
man with strict instructions to arrest
NJ. st. Georges II he attempted to
leave, and to seize all correspondence.
WE left the commissary giving his
w orders. and NJ. Dieulafoy got into
the car with Mr.. Quayne and myself.
We'll, NJ. Dieulafoy," said Q. O.,
80 far, your case seems to be un-
raveling itself for US. This man, ST.
Georges or Dubois, undoubtedly en-
couraged the intimacy Of Monnier
with his wife and financed his ex-
travagances. Then, having estab-
lished a hold over them, he prevailed
upon him to steal those diamonds and
hand them over to him. He left his
inkstand until they should be in Mon
nier's possession. and they were
slipped to him with the parcel Then
he telephoned his wife to prepare to
accompany him on a journey tonight.
She packed her trunks. Monnier
went to her fiat at his usual time and
found her in the midst of her prepara-
tions. They were probably not only
a surprise but shock to him. In the
quarrel. the truth or some Of 1t came
out. Monnier shot her in despair
