JJ ST LIKE FICTION.

John Battles bought the old Stur- vcysant place and had it fixed up, as to roof, grounds and plumbing,
 The paneling Of costly woods throughout the house he woull not have disturbed. They were ong of the chief values of the old plac".
 Battles was man of consider able wealth. One has to be to col lect gems, jades and especially his torical jewelry. It was q fad with Battles.
 In his great library, furnishc, with Flemish fittings worth d for tune, a: perfectly matching the high paneling, beams and giant rough fireplace, Battles kept most of his treasures.
 He had two excellent safes. One was disguised as an old Flemish chest that served as q window scat in the leaded glass oriole window. The other had all the appearance of tall Flemish secretary.
 Many of the costly gems were in lneSe strong pOAcS.
 But Battles got pleasure in look ing at his treasures. He had four cases made, of glass, in iron frames, the iron being cnameled 10 match the woodwork, These all had lock and key-locks Of intricate de- sign.
 Also, about the room. were many ornaments that anyone in the ''know' would appraise as valu- able. Some Ming vases, royal green jade bowl some jcweled snuff boxes once owned by royalty, anl such objects of virtu.
 Battles had been in his new home nearly a year when he missed the royal jade green bowl.
 It was a hard loss to him be- cause he was so proud of 1t. it was the best example of early Chinese carving and the jade Waa that flashing emerald green called royal because only royalty was permitted to own any Of it during that dynasty.
 A private detective was put 10 work. MT. Battles servants were beyond suspicion for the most part.
 Later a snuff box and an ancient amber comb disappeared.
 Battles became terribly distressed. Another private detective came 10 his place. He was introduced to be an antiquarian and lived in the Ba.- ties home as q supposed guest.
 More trinkcts disappeared. and every one that was taken was Of im- mense valuc. historically as well a- intrinsical...
 The second detective slept much Of the day and remained ill the big library. or treasure room. nights. He did that for four months. Nothing was taken.

It seemed as though the thofts had ceased.
 A week after this detective left Battles discovered that one of his glass cases had been robbed. The glass had been cut out. evidently with a diamond glass cutter, and six precious objects, ancient and valuable jewels. were gone.
 Battles was desperate. He thought that perhaps a regulation detective from city police force might help him.
 At this time Maude Battles, Mir. Battles niece from q western col lcse, came on with her father, Bat ties brother, to pay a visit.
 The police department detective came out. He was just like the police detective of fiction. rather crude, it seemed, smoked the usual black cigar and had derby hat, al though he did not wear it indoors, as so many fiction writers would have us believe. some of your servants" WAS this detectives guess, I'll have cm traiI- ed.

proved that they had been writ
ten to Aline.
"Hilda," she said, desperately,
holding to the edge of the table
for support. "Hilda, what would
you say If I told you that those
letters weren't written to me?
What would you say If I told
you that that telegram that
came this morning was not for
me but for one of my women
friends?"
"I'd say you was lying some
thing fierce" Hilda replied
promptly and simply.
''Listen!" she said after a lit
tie pause. Listen, it amt only
letters and kilograms I know
about. I know about the man
that telephones you right here
at the house sometimes, and I
heard you call him up the
night Mister went out to play
cards. I heard you call him
Steve on the telephone"
Lovejoy gasped.
II guess that's who sent the
telegram this morning, too," the
girl went on. "It was signed
with just the first letters of his
name-'S.O.' But I guess that
was the man you call Steve all
right! I guess I amt so dumb
I shouldn't know that!"
Lovejoy couldn't speak for a
moment.
