Winnipeg Is known as "the Sum-

which let sunshine through. The 1881

fourth In size among Canada's cities.

 Mrs. Laidlaw leaned back among her silken pillows and read the morning edition of a local newspa- per. There was full column de- voted to the description of Mrs. Laidlaw's missing jewels, their val ue and their authentic history. Celeste entered with her breakfast tray.
 "A gentleman has been waiting to see you. He says you are ex- pecting him." Before Mrs. Laidlaw could remonstrate or move the count walked in, suave and arro- gnnt, His right hand remained in his coat pocket and he nodded his head at the maid.
 "You may go, Celeste"
 When Celeste had gone he stood quietly several minutes and looked steadily at Mrs. Laidlaw, then he spoke. "lt's been a long time since we met, Bertha, and your disguise Is perfect, but I'll trouble you 10 return the twenty grand you took from ma inst NveninRb

Mrs. Laidlaw's diamonds spar. kled in the artificial brilliance of the night club. The practically nude dancer blinked her eyes in the intensity of their brilliant rays and went through the graceful movements of her dance while she gased, hypnotised, at Mrs. Laid- laws expansive, glittering chest Mrs. Laidlaw was known for that collection of rare diamonds and she liked having them admired.
 The dancer came close to the table and swooped down in an ar. tistic endeavor to get better view.
 The girl danced away but not before Mrs. Laidlaw had intercept- ed the covert glance of under. standing which passed between the little dancer and q man of distln. guishod appearance seated alone at a table some distance away. She glanced curiously'at the man, then turned her head to scrutinize him more closely.
 Do you know him 2" asked Jack Vale, her dinner partner. est"
 The dancer finished her number and reappeared in evening clothes. Everyone was discussing her and her companion. She was a French dancer making her first tour of American cities. He was accom-. panying her on hor tour, at the completion of which they were to be married.
 Mrs. Laidlaw's party consisted of twelve ladies and their escorts.
 Mrs. Laidlaw herself had come out of tho mists and her veneer was as completely disgusting as the gilt lacquer on the body of the dancer. But she had done very well for herself. By some mys- terious means she had acquired outstanding wealth and a certain prominence.
 Someone was saying, "Marion knows the Count and Mademoi- selle Coudrey. She met them crossing"
 Marion was the writer. "Ycs," said she, punching her cigarette in her ashtray, "and most charming they are, my dears. The count is one of the few titled men who still has great wealth at his command Mademoielle coudrey conflded to me that he is carrying with him, in sealed package, Q sum of S20,. 900 in bank notes, which he in- tends to present to her as we'd ding gift. think I shall speak to them"
 She rose and her escort followed her across the floor space which separated their tables. Marion and Ms. Gettings did not come back immediately, but changed dasces with the intriguing pair under dls- cussion.
 "rhey're coming herc," said Mrs. Ladlaw. As, indeed. they were. The dance had ended and the four of them were making their way toward the Laidlaw table.
 "How .frightfully upsetting, 4" commented Mrs. Laidlnw, her face crimson. Just as she finished her sentence the lights went out. There was mad confusion. Women schreamed. Men swore.
