But Sonia knew the shaft had

was pleased.
She was not so pleased to see the

was sorry for him. Was she? No

Sonia the reason for his moods and

CHAPTER WV

1t was, always something of a shock
for Sonia to meet Jed Thomas. He
looked so unapproachably emotion
less. Yet, since her marriage to Don,
she had found him to be tender and
considerate to those whose relations
with him were anything but bust
ness.
For her husband, who was a
nephew by marriage only, he cher
ished sincere affection. And since
his call upon Sonia at the hospital,
she had felt confident of his loyalty
and interest. There was more than
that to it, of course. The tie of a
blood relationship, similar tempera-
ments, reserve in both which con-
cealed flame of passion Many
traits they possessed in common al
though only Sonia was conscious of
it. And she tried not to think Of
Annals secret, when she was with
him.
All the affection she could have
given a father had been bestowed on
Sam March. Even though she had
not listened to his warnings, though
she had gone against his repeated
advice and escaped his insistent,
eternal vigilance, she told herself she
adored him. His death was bottom
less pit in her heart.
The knowledge that he had not
been her real father only made it
more unbearable. To think because
of her, that shabby, beaten, little
man should have taken his life
Jed Thomas greeted her, affection
ately.
How we'll you look, my dear"

old today. Old and tired"
She touched his white, well mani
cured hand.
"Why don't you take vacation?"

the year. We're buster than ever"
Uncle Jed, I had letter from
Franklin Crane"
He frowned.
II showed it to Don. 1t didn't say
much except that he expects to re-
turn to San Francisco. Do you know
if he intends to return to the real
estate Officer"
He was sitting very straight, like
dignified judge.
"I know nothing of his intentions,
Sonia, but am quite sure he will
not return.
You mean ..
"I mean the services of Mr.. Crane
will not be required by the Thomas
Real Estate Co."

why, Sonia?"
II wondered" she faltered. "You
see I may go 10 work again. If I
do will you give me recommenda-
tion?"
His voice was grave as he de-
manded, whats the idea?"
"Oh, nothing serious. I've too
much time on my hands. That's all.
Don is away a great DEAL"
That's no reason, Sonia. I can't
understand you girls who raise
heaven and earth to get a husband
so you won't have to work, then
turn around and come right back to
it again."
She smiled.

Descriptions of the missing gems were
taken and circulated to police, pawn
brokers, Amsterdam diamond dealers
and other likely quarters. Drew made
it particularly unpleasant for any
rogues who might cOnceivably have
had a hand in the affair by sending
men to trace their movements and to
question them.
All these were quite ordinary and
usual precautions. The great thing
was to find the missing valet. There

friends and servants of the marques
who had known Gault and turned
them into amateur detectives. One
of these he sent to every big port in
the country with an introduction to
the local police authorities.
As the days wore on some of these
men found that there was not so
much glamour and n great deal more
tedium in criminal investigation than
they had supposed. Drew had to use
much tact and persuasion to keep
them on the job.

his Jew back. Drew was no less
anxious to lay his hands on the real
thieves. He knew who they were, but
they had dropped out of sight.
The months passed. Inquiries were
pursued tenaciously in every quarter
of the world. Drew located the lady
in the case and her lover in the wilds

The five sat down to dinner, all un-

man on his left. You can go, waiter.
We shall want nothing else.
The waiter bowed obsequiously.
"Bien, m'sieu." He moved noncha-

Another man stretched a packet
across the table toward the man with

Tables were overturned, women

one yelled for the police. None but

Very rarely does a British detective
make an arrest in this melodramatic
fashion. But there was method in
