Then he went on to explain to Janet
how the theft was to be effected, and
the explanation left her gasping.
The Countess Olga. Casimir'n only 4
sister, was at that time housemaid |
In the Adlon hotel. As q housemald
she had. OF course. master key which
opened all the doors on the floor on
which she served. The room occupied
by Colonel and Mrs Heard and that
OF Miss Osborne were under her care
She could enter them &C any time she
chose. stay In them as long as she
chose and not excite the smallest sus-
picion. She was familiar with Col
onel Heard's habit OF leaving his keys
In his trousers pockets.
The first feeling which this frank
confession aroused In Janet's mind
was pity for the countess. II must
be dreadful thing for a highborn
ady, no doubt a dellcately nurtured
ady, to be reduced to earning her liv-
ng as a houBemaid In a hotel Casi-
