and Bruxton Sands, two society men.
both ot whom love Mrs. Missioner, gather
up some of tlie diamonds, but. the gem
ot the collection, the celebrated Mahar
anee. is missing. Griswold steps on the
apparent nnssing diamond and it (’rushes
under his heel. A Hindoo comes from an
adjoining box. and p.eking up a flake of
the crushed gem pronounces it a fraud,
not the genuine Maharanee, but paste.

and she wrung her hands futilelv. ac

Pitch opened ^he door softlv and
looked In. P.ehind him stood Elinor
Holcomb and Detective Williams. At
a sign front Rritz, they entered the
room noiselessly and stood beside the
door. Before Williams could close it
upon them, Mrs. Missioner and Brnx

Mrs. pelaroche turned to Rritz in
cold fury, an Icy reaction from her
volcanic rage of the moment before
“I will tell you all you wish to
know, lieutenant." she said "1 will
tell you all 1 know about Mr. Gris
wn’d. He is the man." Mrs. Pda
rochc continued, "who stole Mrs Mis
‘toner's diamonds!"
The wealthy widow, standing near
the door, put her baud to her heart as
if about to faint from the shock.

and passed his arm about her sboul

“Yes, you stole the jewels,” said
Mrs. Pelaroche to the crouching club

when you gave them to me, and fool
that I was, the suspicions I might
have had were kept aloof by my af

•and that, in turn, they were stolen
from him.
"As for you," and she turned upon
Griswold anew, "I pray Heaven
shall never hear you r name again
unless it he under circumstances that
will give me further opportunity to
revenge myself upon you!"
Silenee followed the theatrteal out
burst of the woman. Griswold stood
vhh elasped hands, his eyes on the
door. Mrs. Missioner, her eyes reso
'iltely averted from his crouching
nrm. gazed at Brltz. expectantly
'llnor, her fine womanhood athrlll
with sympathy in spite of her weeks
of suffering more keenly because o1
it, perhaps- sought to soothe the agi
'atlon of Mrs Pelarnche, who war
dose In collapse. Fitch, too. strove
to calm the woman. As a man he
pitied her: as a physician. h° felt
some alarm for her because of the
great excitement to which she her
wrought herself—-excitement plainly
bevouri the endurance of her erne
itorial nature A feeling akin to In
rilgnation stirred him when, glancing
toward Hilt/, he saw r sarcastic smile
on the defective's face.
“Bravo!" said the lieutenant de
tective at last "Bravlsslmo. Mrs.
Delaroehe! If it were not for detain
ing our good friends. I'd insist upon
an encore." •
The heroine of the Renaissance
hurgiarv dashed furious eyes upon
him. Fitch, despite all he knew Brltz
had done foi F inor, could not con
ceal his anger. Fven Miss Hoiconth
was indignant. Mrs Mlssioner and
sands looked at the detective expect
anliy. Manning's face was Impassive
He was prepared for any surprise
from his shrpwd lieutenant.
"You heho'd in Mrs, Helaroclie,"
said Blitz, including everybody In a
sweep of his hard, "onp of the most
talented actresses in America True,
she isn't on the stagp. but that's only
because the managers havpr.'t disoov

his, he'd engage her on the spot."
"I don't understand you. Mr. Brltz."
said Mrs. Missioner inquiringly.
"Mrs. Delaroohe understands me,
Mrs. Misrloner," returned the sleuth
"ShP knows exactly what I mean
Don’t you, Mrs. Delaroehe?"
"No!" said the woman from the
Renaissance,so sharply the word was
'ike a poniard thrust.
“No?" retorted the detective. “How
truly unfortunate! Surely you are

She oiling to silenep as to a rock
of refuge. Hritz, still rooking lightly
on his heels, raised a finger warning
ly and looked at her with that same
sarcastio smile.
“You know as well as I do, Mrs
Delaroohe," he went on “that Curtis
Oris wold didn’t steal the Maharanee
neoklaoe. Whatever other crimes are
upon him, he is guiltless of that -in
act, at any rate."
The woman kept her eyes on the
floor, her face partly turned awav.
All the others stared at Hritz In
amazement not excepting the Chief
of the Detective Rurean
“Let's run through the pages of
history, Mrs Delaroohe." continued
the lieutenant 'Personal history, of

"it isn't to he wondered at,” said
Brit/ sympathetically, "when you re

on how many mornings she had to
