for u moment before the show win
dow of this shop Mr. Wall paused and
with the eye of a connoisseur studied
the brilliant display within. His whole
maimer changed. The air of boredom
with which he had surveyed his fel
low travelers of the lobby disappeared.
On the Instant he was alert, alive, al
most eager. Jauntily he strolled Into
the store. A tall man was In charge.
From outside came the shrill scream
of a child. Interrupting. The tall man
turned quickly to the window.
"My God"— he moaned.
"What is it?" Mr. Wall sought to
look over his shoulder. "Automobile"—
"My little girl," cried the cleric In
agony. He turned to Martin Wall,
hesitating. His sallow face was white
now, his lips trembled. Doubtfully he
gazed Into the frank open countenance
of Martin Wall. And then—
"1 leave you In charger* ho shouted
and fled past Mr. Wall to the street
For a moment Martin Wall stood,
frozen to the spot. His eyes were un
believing. nis little Cupid's bow mouth
was wide open.
Mr. Wall's knees grew weak. He
felt a strange prickly sensation all over
him. He took a step and was staring
Hia Eyea Fell Upon the Door of ■ Huge
Safety Vault.
at the finest display of black pearls
south of Maiden Lane. New York.
Quickly he turned away. His eyes
fell upon the door of « huge safety
vault. It was swinging open!
Little beads of perspiration began to
pop out on the forehead of Martin
Wall, nis heart was hammering like
that of a youth who sees after a long
separation his lady love. His eyes
grew glassy.
Then Mr. Wall shut his lips firmly
and thrust both of his hands deep into
his trousers pockets. He stood there
In the middle of that gorgeous room. a
fat figure of a man suffering1 a croel.
Inhuman agony..
He was still standing thus when the
tall man came running back. Appre
hension clouded that sallow face. '
"It was very kind of you." The
small eyes of the clerk darted every
where, then came back to Martin
Wall. "I'm obliged—why, what's the
matter, sir?"
Martin Wall passed his hand across
his eyes as a man banishing a terrible
dream.
"The little girl?" he asked.
"Hardly a scratch," said the clerk,
pointing to the smiling child at his
side. "It was lucky, wasn't it?" He
was behind the counter now, studying
the trays unprotected on the show
case.
CHAPTER VI.
Chain Lightning'* Collar.
R. TOM STACY of the Manhat
tan club, half dozing on the
veranda of his establishment,
was rejoiced to see his old;
friend Martin Wall crossing the pave
ment toward him.
"Well, Martin"— he began. And then
a look of concern came into his face.
"Good heavens, man, what ails you?"
Mr. Wall sank like a wet rag to the j
steps.
"Tom," he said, "a terrible thing has
just happened. I was left alone-i in
Ostby & Blake's jewelry shop."
"Alone?" cried Mr. Stacy. "Too—
alone?"
"Absolutely alone."
Mr. Stacy leaned over.
"Are you leaving towa—in a hurry?" j
he asked.
Gloomily Mr. Wall shook his head.
"He put me on my houor," be com-:
plained—"left me in charge of the j
shop. Can you beat It? Of course aft- j
er that, I—well, you know somehow I i
couldn't do it I tried, but I couldn't-" j
Mr. Stacy threw back his head, and!
has raucous laughter smote the lazy
summer afternoon.
"I can't help it," he gasped. "The!
' funniest thinjr I ever—voii-^tha) Jiest i
Bfone tliief InAmerica alone in charge
of $3,000,000 worth of the stuff!"
Cheeks burning, eyes popping, Mr.
Mlnot hiding behind the curtains In a
room overhead, watched them disap
pear Into the Manhattan club.
Here was news Indeed—Lord Har
rowby's boon companion the ablest
Jewel thief in America! Just what did
that mean?
Putting on coat and hat, be hurried
to the hotel office and there wrote a
cablegram:
Situation suspicious. Are you dead cer
tain H..U on the level?
An hour later, in his London office,
Mr. Jephscn read this message care
fully three times.
The Villa Jasmine, Mrs. Bruce's win
ter home, stood in a park of palms and
shrubbery some two blocks from the
Hotel de la Pax. Mr. Mlnot walked
thither that evening in the resplendent
company of Jack Paddock.
"You'll enjoy Mrs. Bruce tonight,"
Paddock confided. "I've done her Bome
rather good lines, if I do say it that
shouldn't"
"On what topics?" asked Mlnot
"International marriage—Jewels—by
the way, I don't suppose you know
that Miss Cynthia Meyrlck is to appear
for the first time wearing the famous
Harrowby necklace?"
"I didn't even know there was a
necklace," Mlnot returned.
"Ah, such Ignorance! But then you
don't wander much In feminine so
ciety, do you? Mrs. Bruce told me
about It this morning. Chain Light
ning's collar."
"Chain Lightning's what?"
"Ah, my boy"—Mr. Paddock lighted
a cigarette—"you should go round more
in royal circles! List, commoner, while
I relate. It seems that the Earl of
Baybrook is a giddy old sport with a
gambling streak n yard wide. In his
young days he loved the Lady Evelyn
Hollowway. Lady Evelyn had a horse
entered In a Derby about that time—
name, Chain Lightning. And the Earl
of Raybrook wagered a diamond neck
lace against a kiss that Chain Light
ning would lose."
"Wasn't that giving big odds?" in
"Not If you believe the storlea
Lady Evelyn's beauty. Well, It hap
pened before Tammany politicians be
gan avenging Ireland on Derby day.
Chain Lightning won, mid the earl
came across with the necklace. After,
ward he marriod Lady Evelyn"—
"To get back the necklace?"
"Cynic. And, being a rather racy old
boy, he referred to the necklace there
after as Chain Lightning's collar. It
got to be pretty well known in Eng
land by that name. I believe it Is con
sidered a rather neat piece of Jewelry
among the English nobility, whoso
sparklers aren't what they were be
fore the steel business in Pittsburgh )
turned out a good thing."
"Chain Lightning's collar?" mused
Mlnot "I presume Lady Evelyn was
the mother of the present Lord Har
rowby?"
"So 'tis rumored," smiled Paddock,
"though I tike it his lordship favors
his father in looks."
They walked along for a moment in
silence. The story of this necklace of
diamonds could bring but one thing to
Minot's thoughts—Martin "Wall droop
ing on the steps of the Manhattan
club while old Stacy roared with Joy.
He considered. Should he tell Mr.
Paddoel; ? No, he would wait
The whir of a motor behind them
caused the two young men to turn.
Then Mr. Mlnot saw her coming up
the path toward him—coming up that
fantastic avenue of palms—tall, fair,
white, a lovely figure In a lovely set
ting!
Ah, yes—Lord' HarrowJ>y! He walk
ed at her side, nonchalant, distinguish
ed. almost as tall as a popular illus
trator thlnka a maniin evening clothes
should be. Truly, \they made a hand
some couple. They'wer^ to wed. Mr.
Mlnot himself had t sworn they were
to wed
He kept the bitterness* from his tone
as he greeted the in. there amid tho
soft magic of the Florida' night To
gether they went inside. In the cen
ter of a magnificent hallway they
found Mrs. Bruce standing, like stout
Cortez on his Durien peak, triumphant
amid the glory of her gold.
Mr. Bruce slipped out of the shadows
Into the weariness of another formal
dinner. Mrs. Bruce glittered, and ho
wrote the checks. He was a scraggly
littlo man who sometimes sat for hours
at a time in silence. There were those
unkind enough to say that he sought
back, trying to recall the reason that
had led him to marry Mrs. Bruce.
When he beheld Miss Cynthia Mey
rlck and knew that he was to take her
in to dinner Mr. Bruce brightened per
cepilDiy. IMJue a«>D u —
man could have failed to. Cocktails
consumed, the party turned toward the
dining room. Except for the Meyricks,
Martin Wall, Lord Harrowby and Pad
dock, Dick Mlnot knew none of them.
There were a couple of colorless men
from Xew York who, ,when they died,
would be referred to as "prominent
club men," a horsy girl from West
chester, an ex-ambassador's wife and
daughter, a number of names from
Boston and Philadelphia with their re
spective bearers. And, last but not
least, the two Bond girls from Omaha
—blond, lovely, but Inclined to be snob
bish even In that company, for their
mother was a Van Key pan, and Van
Reypans are rare birds in Omaha and
elsewhere.
Mr. Mlnot took In the elder of the
Bond girls and found that Cynthia
Meyrlck sat on his left He glanced
at her throat as they sat down. It was
bare of ornament And then he be
held, sparkling In her lovely hair, the
perfect diamonds of Chain Lightning's
•collar. As he turned back to the table
! he caught the eye of Mr. Martin Wall.
Mr. Wall's eye happened to be coming
tiaway from.the same locality.
A nair nSur later 'Mrs. ijrvcc's dinner
party was scattered among the palms
and flowers of her gorgeous lawn. Mr.
Mlnot had fallen again to the elder
girl from Omaha, and blithely for her
he was displaying his Broadway Ig
norance of horticulture. Suddenly out
of the night came a scream. Instant
ly when he heard It Mr. Mlnot knew
who had uttered It
Unceremoniously he parted from the
Omaha beauty and sped over the lawn.
But, quick as he was, Lord Harrowby
was quicker, for when Mlnot came up
he saw Harrowby bending over Miss
Meyrick, who sat upon a wicker bench.
"Cynthia, what is it?" Harrowby was
saying.
Cynthia Meyrick felt wildly of her
shining hair.
"Tour necklace," she gasped—"Chain
Lightning's collar! Lie took it! He
took it!"
"Who?"
He Beheld, Sparkling In Her Hair, the
Perfect Diamonds.
-"I don't know! A man!
"A man!" Reverent repetition by
feminine voices out of tlie excited
group.
"He leaped out at me there—by that
tree—pinioned my arms—snatched the
necklace! I couldn't see bis face. It
happened In the shadow."
"No matter," Harrowby replied.
"Don't give it another thought, my
child."
"But how can I help"—
"I shull telephone the police at once,"
announced Spencer Meyrlck.
"I beg you'll do nothing of the sort,"
expostulated Lord Harrowby. "It
would be a great Inconvenience. The
thing wasn't worth the publicity that
would result I Insist that the police
be kept out of this."
Argument—loud on Mr. Meyrick's
part—ensued. Suggestions galore were
offered by the guests. But in the end
Lord FTarrowby £pd Iris way. It was
BgTood not to can Tn tnff ponce."
Mr. Minot, looking up, saw a sneer
ing smile on the face of Martin Wall.
In a flash he knew the truth.
With Aunt Mary calling loudly foC
smelling salts and the whole party
more or less In confusion, the return,
to the house started. Mr. Paddock
walked at MInot's side.
"Rather looks as though Chain Llght^
nlng's collar had choked off our gay
ety," he mumbled. "Serves her right
for wearing the thing in her hair. She
spoiled two corking lines for me by
not wearing It where you'd naturally
expect a necklace to be worn."
Minot maneuvered so as to intercept
Lord Harrowby under the portico.
"May I speak with you a moment?"
he inquired. Harrowby bowed, and
they stepped into the shadows of the
drive.
"Lord Harrowby," said Minot, trying
to keep the excitement from his voice.
"X have certain information about one
of the guests here this evening that I
believe would interest you. Your lord
ship has been badly buffaloed. One of
our fellow diners at Mrs. Bruce's table
holds the title of the ablest jewel thief
in America!"
He watched keenly to catch Lorl
Harrowby's start of surprise. Ala3,
he caught nothing of the sort
"Nonsense," said his lordship non
chalantly. "You mustn't let your Im
agination carry you away, dear chnp."
"Imagination nothing! I know what
I'm talking about." And then Mli.ot
added sarcastically, "Sorry to bore yoa
with this."
Ills lordship laughed.
"Itight-o, old fellow. I'm not Inter
ested."
"But haven't you just lost"—
"A diamond necklace? Yes." They
had reached a particularly dark a;:d
secluded spot beneath the canopy of
palm leaves. Harrowby turned sud
denly and put his hands on Minot'»
shoulders. "Mr. Minot," he said, "yo.i
are here to see that nothing interfere t
with my marriage to Miss Meyrick.
I trust you are determined to do yoiu*
duty to your employers?"
"Absolutely. That is why"—
"Then," replied narrowby quickly.
"I am going to ask you to take charj; <
of this for me."
Suddenly Minot fe't something cold
and glassy in his hand. Startled, he
looked down. Even in the dark Ch in
Ligntnlng's collar sparkled like the fa
mous toy that it was.
"Your lordship!"
"I cannot explain now. I can on'.;.'
tell you it is quite necessary that y> l
help me at this time if you wish to On
your full duty by Mr. Jephson."
"Who took this necklace from Miss
Meyrick's hair?" asked Minot hotly.
"I did. I assure you it was the only
way to prevent our plans from going
awry. Flease keep it until I ask for
It"
And, turning. Lord Harrowby walked
rapidly toward the house.
"The brute!" Angrily Mr. Minot
stood turning the necklace over in biJ
hand. "So be frightened the girl lie
is to marry—the girl he is supposed :o
love"—
What should he do—go to her a;. I
tell her of narrowby's amiable eccen
tricities? He could hardly do that
Harrowby had taken him into his con
fidence—and, besides, there was Jeph
son of the great bald head, the Petci*
Pnu eves. Xothiiur tp do but wait.
