Is a Jewel thief.
At a house party Chain Lightning's col
lar, a Harrowby Jewel, is stolen from
Miss Meyrlck. Lord Harrowby admits the
theft and gives Minot the Jewel
Trimmer again produces the man he
claims to be the real Lord Harrowby.

Gabriello ftose, an actress and an old
flame of Lord llarrowby'a, arrives In

When I.ord Harrowby suddenly leaves

lord, .oiifcssts his love to Cynthia Mey
rlck. The real George Harrowby appears.
George Harrowby exposes tho fake Lord
Harrowby, and nothing seems likely to
prevent tho wedding of the real Lord
Harrowbv and Mlsa Meyrlck.
"It is a valiuiTTT^operty.'*
"Especially valuable tills morning. I
take it." sneered Meyrlck.
"Valuable at any time. Our presses
cost SI.Olio, our linotypes $2,000. And
there is that other thins—so hard to
estimate definitely—the wide appeal of
our paper. The price—well, $13,000.
Extremely reasonable. And I will in
clude the pood will of the retiring
management."
"You contemptible little"— began
Spencer Meyrlck.
"My dear sir. control yourself,"
pleaded Gonzale. "or 1 may be unable
to include the good will I spoke of.
Would you care to see that story on
the streets? You may at any moment
There is but one way oi:t—buy the
newspaper. Buy it now. Here is the
plan: You p> with me to your bank.
You procure $13,COO in cash. We go
together to the Ma'l office. You pay
me the nviiey. and I leave yon in
charge."
Old Meyrlck lesped to his feet.
"Very good." he cried. "Come on!"
"One thing ir.-re," continued the
crafty Gonralo. "Tt may pay you to
note—we a'c watched, even now. All
the way to I'io bank and thence to the
office of the Mail we will be watched.
Should any accident, now unforeseen,
happen to me that issue of the Mall
will go on sale iu live minutes all over
Sun Marco. -
"I understand; Come on!"
CHAPTHFJ XVIII.
"Tl.ora \V"i -c Wedding."
>rTlIir:iSK must l'e some escape.
I ■ The trap seemed absurdly sim
I I pie. Across the hotel lawn,
.. '_J down the hot avenue, in the
!e-s hot piaze. Meyrlck sought a way.
A naturally Impulsive man, he had
difficulty restraining himself. But he
thought of his daughter, whose happi
ness was more than money in his eyes.
No way offered. At the counter of
the tiny bank Meyrlck stood writing
his check. Gonzale at his elbow. Sud
denly behind them the screen door
slammed, and a wild eyed man with
flaming red hair rushed in.
"What is it you want?" Gonzale
screamed.
"Out of my way, Don Quixote!" cried
the red topped one. "I'm a windmill,
and my arms breathe death. Are you
Mr. Meyrlck? Well, tear up that
check!"
"Gladly," said Meyrlck. "Only"—
"Notice the catbirds down here?"
went on the wild one. "Noisy little
beasts, aren't they? Well, after this
take-off your "hat to 'em. A catbird
saved you a lot of money tills morn
ing."
"I'm afraid I don't follow"— said
the dazed Spencer Meyrlck.
"No? I'll explain. I have been
working on this man's paper for the
last week. So has a very good friend
of mine. We knew he was crooked.
but we* needed the money, and he
promised us not to pull off any more
blackmail while we stayed. Last
night, after we left the office, he ar
ranged this latest. Planned to Incrlmi
| note me. You little devil"—
Manuel, frightened, leaped away,
i "We usually sleep until noon," went
! on O'Neill. "lie counted on that. En
| tcr the catbird. Sat on our window
sill at 10 a. m. and screeched. Woke
us up. We felt uneasy. Went to the
office, broke down a bolted door and
found what was up."
"Dog!" foamed Manuel. "Outcast of
the gutter"—
"Save your compliments! Mr. Mey
rlck, my partner Is now .at the Mall
office destroying today's issue of the
Mall. We've already ruined the first
pago form, the cut of the policy and
the negative. And we'ro going north
as fast as the Lord will let us. l'ou
can do what you please. Arrest our
llttlo lemon tinted employer If you
want to."
Spencer Meyrlck stood, considering.
"However, I've done you a favor,"
O'Neill went on. "You can do me one.
Let Manuel off—on one condition."
"Name It."
"That he hands me at once $200,
$100 for myself, the other for my part
ner. It's legitimate salary money due
us. AVe need It. A long walk to New
York."
"I myself"— began Meyrlck.
"Don't want your money," said
O'Neill; "want Gonzale's."
"Gonzaie's you shall have," agreed
Meyrlck. "You pay him!"
"Never!" cried the Spaniard.
"Then It's the police." hinted O'Neill.
Gonzale took two yellow bills from a
wallet. He tossed them at O'Neill.
"There, you cur"—
"Careful," cried O'Neill, "or I'll
punch you yet!"
He started forward, but Gonzale
hastily withdrew. O'Neill and the
millionaire followed to the street.
"Well, my boy," answered Spencer
Meyrlck. "if I can ever do auything
for you in New York come and see j
me."
"You mav have to make goqd on
that." laughed O'Neill, and they parted.
O'Neill hastened to the Mall office.
He waved yellow bills before the lanky
Howe.
"In the nick of time." he cried. "Me.
the fair haired hero. And here's the
fare, Harry—the good old railroad
fare."
I "Ileuven be praised," said Howe.
"I've finished the job, Rob. Not a
trace of this morning's Issue left. The
fare! North in parlor cars! My to
bacco heart sln.es. Can't you hear the
elevated"—
"Music, Harry, music."
"And the newsboys on Fark row"—
"Caruso can't touch them.. Where
can wo find a time table. I wonder?"
Meanwhile, In a corner of the plaza,
Manuel Gonzale spoke sad words In
the ear of Martin Wall.
"It's the jinx." moaned Wall, with
conviction. "The star player In every
thing I do down here. I'm going to
burn the sand hotfooting It away.
But whither, Manuel, whither?"
"In Torto Rico." replied Gonzale, "I
have not yet plied my trade. I go
there.''
"Falrn Ecach," sighed Wall, "has dia
monds that can be observed to spar
kle as far away as the New York so
ciety columns. But, alas, I lack the
wherewithal to support me in the style
to which my victims are accustomed."
"Try I'orto Rico," suggested Gonzale.
"The air is mild—so are the police. I
will stake you."
"Thanks. I'orto Rico it Is. How the
devil do we get there?"
Up the main avenue of San Marco
Spencer Meyrlck walked as a man go
ing to avenge. With every determined
step his face grew redder, ills eye more
dangerous. He looked at his watch.
Eleven.
The eleventh hour! But much might
hapi>en between the eleventh hour and
high noon.
In the Ilarrowby suit the holder of
the title, a handsome and distinguish
ed figure, adorned for ills wedding,
walked nervously the vat her worn car
pet. nis brother, hastily pressed Into
service as best man, sst puffing at a
cigar with a persistency which indl

"Brace up, Allan," he urged. "ItH
be over before you realize it. Remem
ber my own wedding. Gad, wasn't I
frightened? Always that way with a
man. No sense to it, but he just can't
help It. Never forget that little par
lor, with the flower of Marion society
all about, and me with my teeth chat
tering and my knees knocking to
gether."
"It is a bit of an ordeal," said Allan
weakly. "Chap feels all sort of—gone
—Inside"—
The telephone, rinsing sharply, inter
rupted. George Harrowby rose and
stepped to It
"Allan? You wish Allan? Very well.
I'll tell him."
He turned away from the telephone
and faced his brother.
"It was old Meyrick, kid. Seemed
somewhat hot under the collar. Wants
to see you In their suit at once."
"Wliat—what do you Imagine he
wants?"
"Going to make you a present of
Riverside drive, I fancy. Go ahead,
boy. I'll wait for you here."
Allan Ilarrowby went out, along the
dusky corridor to the Meyrick door.
Not without misgivings, he knocked. A
voice boomed, "Come!" He pushed
open the door.
He saw Spencer Meyrick sitting pur
ple at a table and beside him Cynthia
Meyrick in the loveliest gown of all
the lovely gowns sho had ever worn.
The beauty of the girl staggered Har

had a sudden feeling that he should

cominjT Into tfie room. ' As he moved
closer to the girl he was to marry he
saw that her face was whiter than her
gown and her brown eyes strained and
miserable.
"We did," said Meyrick, rising. He
held out a paper. "Will you please
look at that?"
His lordship took the sheet In un
steady hands. He glanced down.
Slowly the meaning of the story that
met his gaze filtered through his dazed
brain, "ilartin Wall did this," he
thought to himself. He tried to speak,
but could not. Dumbly he stared at
Spencer Meyrick.
"We want no scene, Ilarrowby,"
said the old man wearily. "Wo mere
ly want to know if there Is In existence
a policy such as the one mentioned
here?"
The paper slipped from his lordship's
lifeless hands. He turned miserably
away. Not daring to face either fa
ther or daughter, he answered very
faintly:
"There Is."
Spencer Meyrick sighed.
"That's all we want to know. There
will be no wedding, Harrowby."
"Wba-wliat!" His lordship faced
about. "Why, sir, the guests must be
downstairs!"
"It Is unfortunate, but there will be
no wedding." The old man turned to
his daughter. "Cynthia," he asked,
"have you nothing to say?"
"Yes." White, trembling, the girl
faced his lordship. "It seems, Allan,
that you have regarded our marriage
as a business proposition. You have
gambled on the stability of the mar
ket. Well, you win. I have changed
my mind. Tills is final. I shall not
r-hanro if ncnin."
