It 1» oc­ casioned when Mrs. Mlssioner's necklace breaks, scattering the diamonds all over the floor. Curtis Grlswold and Bruxton Sand.?, society men in love with Mrs. Mis­ sloner, gather up the gems. Grlswold steps on what Is suposed to be the cele­ brated Maharanee and crushes It. A Hin­ doo declares It was not the genuine. An expert later pronounces all the stones substitutes for the original. J>etective8 I>onnelly and Carson Investigate. They decide that the theft of the original gems was accomplished by some one In tlja house. Miss Elinor Holcoinb, confidential companion of Mrs. Missloner, 1s sus­ pected. One of the missing diamonds is found in her room. Mrs. Missloner 'pro­ tests that Elinor is Innocent, but she Is taken to prison.

Donnelly and Carson, each with an arm under her shoulder, propped her sinking form. "Lift your head," commanded the Chief. The order fell on deaf ears. She seemed as one in the last agony of a mortal illness. "Lift It for her,** came In a voice of mingled sternness and compassion. Donnelly's hand flew to her chin, tilting her face upward. For an in­ stant she raised her heavy eyelids; then recoiled as from a blow. The crowd of masked spectators floated before her eyes like hideous specters of a horrid dream. A low groan, like the last lament of a tortured soul, came from h«r Hps. She seemed turn­ ed into a mass of Jelly. "Take her away," commanded the Chief, and the two detectives carried tier out of the room. "Accused of stealing the Missloner diamonds," was the curt explanation of her presence. In a harsh mono­ tone, the Chief read the various Head­ quarters orders to the force, and then the men not engaged on old work re­ ceived their assignments of new cases. As abruptly as he had entered, the head of the Bureau left the room and retired to his private office. Then he summoned Donnelly and Carson. "Takes it pretty bad. eh?" he asked. "Like all the swell ones when they're nabbed the first time." an­ swered Carson. "Had to call the doctor twice dur­ ing the night, the matron tells me," Informed Donnelly. "Pid she make any statement on the way to Headquarters?" Inquired the Chief. -- "Nothing but hysterics," Carson an­ swered. "And she's In no condition to he •questioned now," added Donnelly. "Anyone been Inquiring for her?" the Chief suddenly snapped. "Yes," flashed back Donnelly. His •yes lit with a crafty glow. "Some guy, who says he's a doctor and en­ gaged to marry her has been hang­ ing around here all morning, wants to know how he can get her out. Looks as If he might be mixed up in It, so I'm having him shadowed." "Good!" commented the Chief. "If any lawyer calls, tell him she's in no condition to be seen. We don't want anyone to see her until we've ques­ tioned her. It was late In the afternoon before Miss Holcomb was escorted into the Inquisitorial chamber. She had fallen Into a fitful slumber on the rude iron bed that projected from the wall of her cell, when Donnelly and Carson opened the grated door and called her out of her sleep. She gave a startled gasp when she saw them, a convulsive shudder racked her frame. A sudden Influx of painful memories overwhelm­ ed her with a pitiful sense of helpless­ ness as she dragged herself to the of­ fice of the Chief. With a weak show of courage, she eyed Manning resolutely, and then sank into a soft leather chair close to bis desk. Donnelly and Carson ̂ oc­ cupied seats at her elbow. \ "What did you do with those stones t" blurted the Chief. ' Her lips framed a reply, but It died without utterance. "Come, coore? ly. "We^on't want any acting here. I know you're only a tool in this pat­ ter. We've got the principal urjder arrest and I'm giving you a chance to save yourself. You turn State's evi­ dence against him and 111 see that no harm comes to you. He's tile -fellow we want to land. Now tell me Just what you did with the jewels." In the midst of this outburst, a door opened silently and a sha y featured, smooth-shaven man of middle age en­ tered and seated himself In an ob­ scure corner of the room. ^ Ills form seemed to merge into the shadow of the walls as he dropped noiselessly Into his chair. Miss Holcomb did not see him eater. Her increasing terror save het* a fictitious energy,, and she lifted her head with a sharp!Jerk. "I didn't steal the Jewels," phe said. "I nothing to do with pearance." The mocking laughter of voices sounded in the room. "Does It well!" chuckled r*^he cried impatlent- disap- "Too bad she Joined Carson. The Chief's beady eyes narrowed on her as If he would read her Innermost thoughts.. "There's no use trying to lie to me," he snarled. "I know who's got the diamonds. The man who hired you to steal them is locked up now. He says he didn't know they were stolen--" "Who says that?" she interrupted. Donnelly and Carson, audgad each other in boisterous glee. "She wants to know who says it!" piped tho former. "Ain't she the slick one!" laughed his partner. The Chief's face hardened until a menace seemed to lurk in every one of its deep-cut lines. "Now,, you know who says it," he informed her. "I don't have to men­ tion any names. It's simply a question of you going to jail or of sending hlin to Jail. I don't take any stock in what he says. He can't tell me he didn't know you stole the Jewels. I ain't as easy as all that! Now, I'm giving you a chance to make a full confes­ sion and save yourself. Will you con­ fess?" His tone carried the weight of a threat, but her unresponsive mind was unable to grasp its significance. She stared blankly before her, as if her eyes were chained to some distant spot "Will you confess?" the Chief repeat­ ed witki added menace. As If roused from a long abstrac­ tion, she gazed appeallngly at her tor­ mentor. "I have nothing to confess," she murmured weakly. The Chief^drew back in studied an­ ger, His If«• banged the desk as if the blow was meant to convey a sud­ den resolve. "Very well!" he burst forth. "Go right ahead and be the goat if you want to. Look here, little girl, I was Just klddln' you when I said we had the principal under arrest," he said with a quick change of tactics. "You're the only one that's locked up. I don't believe there's anyone else mixed up in the case at all. I believe you did the Job alone. If there's anyone be­ hind you, you'll have to show me. There's. only one thief involved, and that's you." An expression, as of a hunted ani­ mal, crept into her face. She turned to the left and met the fixed stare of Donnelly. Averting her head, her eyes looked Into those Of Carson. Di­ rectly In front, close to her face, the cold gleam from the Chief's eyes fell on her. So she turned around, only to look into an impenetrable back­ ground of gloom, sinister and depress­ ing. "I haven't done anything," she pleaded. "I don't know who took Mrs. Mlssioner's diamonds." As If cut by a sudden thought, Miss Holcomb bent forward in her seat. "She can't be­ lieve I did it?" she moaned. "You bet your life she believes you did it," the Chief announced. "And I know you did It So what's the use of denying It?" "I do deny It, I do deny It," she pro­ tested. "How can they think me capa­ ble of it?" The Chief opened a drawer of his desk and brought forth the accusing diamond. He held it close to her face, permitting the rays to distribute themselves on her features. "Pretty fine stone!" he commented. A Vi » OUtUVt • UWM7U gWU to you, didn't it? Came so easy it was a shame to take it--eh? Now how did It get mixed up with youi/ trink­ ets?" | "I don't know," she moaned. The Chief turned from her drearily. "You take her in hand, Donnelly," he said. The detective bent over the woman, his face iio close that she felt his warm breath against her cheeks. "Ppn't try tuiy nonsense down here," he/ snarled. "We got the goods on you, and we ain't going to stand any fooling. Now, where are those dia­ monds?" She eyed him In mild protest "I dont know, sir," she murmured weakly. Donnelly shoved his clenched fist under h# chin. His face contorted into an expression of tigerish ferocity; he peered at her with an intensity that ehillee her blood. "You're a liar," he snapped. "You think you're a slick one, but you'll be sorry you was ever born If you dont cough up the goods. We know how to handle customers like you down here. We're used to 'em. We get 'em every day. Ttfow, just save yourself a lot of trouble by telling the whereabouts of the diamonds." "They ain't going to do you any good." Interjected the Chief. "They don't wear diamonds where you're go­ ing to. The less trouble you give us, the less trouble we'll make for you. And we can make more trouble for you than you can make for us" A look of such utter herpiessness overspread her face that even the de­ tectives realized the utter futility of their attack. She seemed as one un­ der the influence of a torplfylng drug. Her capability for new feelings hau been crushed out of her by the crowd ed Incidents following her arrest Aii The Chief Drew Back In Studied Anger. she felt was a dull pain of body and mind. "Don't sit there like a white mum­ my," burst forth Donnelly. "Come, now," he added impatiently, "don't exhaust our patience; we haven't treat­ ed you roughly, but we know how to bring you out of your silence." He seized her wrist, his clenched hand squeezing it until she uttered a sharp cry of pain. "Are you going to answer my ques­ tions?" he blurted. She sank back in the chair with a despairing moan. Her heavy eyelids dropped, a tremor contracted her brow, then her head fell limply to one side. "I guess we won't gain anything by going any stronger with her to-day. Take her back!" commanded the Chief. Donnelly and Carson shook her into consciousness. They steadied her as she dragged herself through the dark corridor and down two flights of nar­ row Iron stairs to her cell. When she was out of the room, the silent visitor came out of the ob­ scurity of his corner and seated him­ self In the chair vacated by Miss Hol­ comb. "What do you think of It, BrltsT" asked Manning. Detectlve-LleutenanC Prlts stared hard, as if trying to concentrate his thoughts. His keen face, screwed into an expression of uncertainty, con­ trasted sharply with the big heavy features of his superior. Side by side, the two men suggested the delicate surgeon's probe and the heavy black­ smith's sledge. "It's a great mystery," Brits de­ clared. "A great mystery," he repeat­ ed In a tone of deep conviction. "The most puzzling case that has ever come under my observation." "Very well," the Chief drawled. "It's Donnelly and Carson's case, but you go out and solve it*--you go out and get the goods." CHAPTER VII. Remanded tp the Tombs. Lieutenant Britz, seated at the flat­ top desk of his office, peered steadily at the celling, as if he expected to find written there the solution of the great mystery into which he had been worrlcu 6Xpr6diiOu "waS Om session of his soul. He became sub­ merged in deep meditation, in which he sought to arrange In consecutive order the information gathered by Donnelly and Carson. The convictldh forced Itself on his mind that Miss Holcomb's arrest was based on cir­ cumstance from which more than one inference might be drawn. The fact that she knew the combination or Mrs. Mlssioner's safe did not mean, of course, that she took the jewels. On the surface, it looked as if hers was the exclusive opportunity to possess herself of the gems, outside of Mrs. Missloner herself. But Britz felt the depth of the case had not been sounded; In fact that the surface had not even been penetrated. The only thread that connected Miss Holcomb with the theft was tho diamond found in her room. But to Britz'a experienced mind, this circum­ stance pointed rather toward lnno- cenoe than guilt For, he argued, if she had taken those jewels, she would not have been so careless as to leave one of them In her boudoir. That dlSr mond, Brits was convinced, was placed thefe Intentionally and with sinister purpose by a hand other than Miss Holcomb's. Brits rose from his seat donned his topcoat and hat and made his way to the tier of cells one of which held Miss Holcomb. He encountered Don­ nelly sad Carson on the way. "What time are you going to ar­ raign her?" he asked. "Right now," Donnelly replied. "We got the magistrate to hold court an hour longer for us." A turnkey swung open the Iron door of the cell. The detectives found Miss Holcomb huddled in a corner, the wan light of the corridor falling on her tear-bathed face. "Don't take me back! They want to harm me! I haven't done any­ thing!" she cried, when she saw the visitors. Brits stepped forward with an air of command and waved the other detectives back. He scraped his shoulders through the cell door and sat on the rude cot facing the woman. "Miss Holcomb,." he said pleasantly, "there will be no further Inquisition in the Chief's office, no more third- degree methods will be applied to you. It is necessary under the law to bring you before a magistrate within twen- tj'fwUr aavlaI*S Saivwa* " Ou? •.!*? his face, as if anxiety had taken poe- | brace yourself, please, for the ordeaL § I The Two Men Walked to Broadway. If you are Innocent you have abso­ lutely nothing to fear. You will have an opportunity In court of consulting with your friends and engaging a law­ yer. Your interests will be protect­ ed." '•* Instinctively, although In the gloom of her surroundings she could make ut only a dim outline of his face, she >lt a confidence In the detective that raced her like a tonic. "I have a carriage waiting for you, lies Holcomb," Britz informed her. "it will enable you to avoid the many urious eyes In the street" She murmured her thanks as she stepped out of the cell and followed Brits and his companions through a maze of corridors to the street They were driven rapidly to the Jefferson Market Court and ushered Into the private room of the magistrate. A crowd of reporters was already on hand for the hearing. The curious yes aimed pitilessly at her Inspired t her a terror that made her shrink behind the broad shoulders of Don­ nelly. The magistrate motioned her to a seat close to his desk, and said: "Madam, It is your privilege to en­ gage counsel. I would advise you to do so at once, for anything you say may be used against you." "I have done nothing wrong," she murmured. "You had better get a lawyer," the Magistrate urged. As if in response to his advice, tho door opened abruptly and two men entered. One was sharp-faced, gray- haired, nervous, with the unmistak­ able air of the lawyer. The other was a young man, his face marked with heavy lines of worry, as if he also had passed a sleepless Sight At sight of him, Miss Holcomb sprang forward and threw herself in his arms. "Oh, Lawrence!" she exclaimed. "How I have missed you!" "Don't worry," he soothed. "Every­ thing will turn out all right I have engaged a lawyer for you. I believe in you Implicitly." ' Donnelly and Carson ssked for a week in which to work up tho case against the prisoner. "We are Informed that the stolen jewels are worth close to half a mil­ lion. There was one big diamond In the bunch that is said to be worth a quarter of a million alone. I think she ought to be put under heavy bonds." "On what grounds do you base your accusation of theft against this young woman?" demanded the lawyer. Donnelly displayed the diamond he had found in her room. "She waa the only one. outside of Mrs. Missloner, who knew the combi­ nation of the safe," he said. "We found this diamond, which is one of the original stones, in her room." "Does Mrs. Missloner charge this girl with the theft of the collarette?" asked the lawyer. "The police make the accusation," Donnelly replied. "Mro. Missloner is too upset to appear in court to-day." Following the usual course, the magistrate adjourned the case for a week, and held Miss Holcomb In $50,- 000 ball. There being no bondsmen present she was committed to the Tombs. "May I speak with Miss Holcomb in private a few moments?" asked the young man into whose arms she had fallen. "Who are you?" gruffly demanded "I'm Dr. Lawrence Fitch, the fiance of Miss Holcomb." "You can see her In the Tombs." LXmnelly retorted. Lieutenant Britz did not accompany Donnelly and Carson with their pris­ oner to the Jail. When the court hear­ ing was over, be returned to his office, summoned two subordinate detectives, and gave them hasty instructions. Then he sauntered slowly to the Tombs. As the barred steel door swung open to admit Brits. Dr. Pitch crossed the stone-flagged courtyard that sepa­ rates the women's wing of the prison from that of the men. "Was It Dr. Pitch who called to see the prisoner in the Missloner diamond robbery?" he asked the doorman. "Yes," came the prompt response. Britz waited in the shadow of the massive gray front of the Jail until the young physician came out He observed the pallor of the doctor's cheeks, his uncertain gait, as if the turmoil of his mind had exhausted his physical energy. The detective noted, also, the clear-cut straightforward features of the physician, the resolute aspect of his face, and the purposeful gleam in his clear eyes. "Just a moment doctor," Britz said, tapping Dr. Fitch on the shoulder. "What can I do for you?" asked the doctor. "I am Lieutenant Brits, of Head­ quarters," the detective explained. "I am in charge of the active work on fhla case. I want your help. You can be of great service to Miss Holcomb." "How?" quickly asked Dr. Fitch. "By following my orders," flashed Brits. "What are your ord«j*?" asked the doctor. "It Is absolutely necessary that all suspicion be directed toward her. No effort must be made at the present time to clear her." "What!" exclaimed Dr. Fitch. "Per­ mit my fiancee to suffer the tortures this prison and live under the sti^ ma of this terrible accusation?" "It is necessary," assured Brits. "The two detectives who arrested her seem to be convinced of her guilt" Fitch said angrily. "They In­ flicted tortures on her that might have crushed a stronger woman; she told me as best she could what took place at the Inquisition in Police Headquarters." "Very weli," said Britz. "I am working independently, regardless of anything Donnelly and Carson, the two men who made the arrest, may do. They blundered grievously when they arrested the young woman. We must overcome that blunder, but the time is not ripe for her release. If she leaves the Tombs, it must be with her name cleared of suspicion." Dr. Fitch returned to the prison and was permitted to see the prisoner in the little reception room on the ground floor of the women's wing. Her law­ yer had left instructions that the physician be allowed to consult with his fiancee at any time. (5n his first visit, he had found h^r distraught hardly able to tell a coherent story, HIB call had a cheering effect on her, however, and she entered/the'"recep­ tion room with a firmer tftep. "I hope you have brought good news," she called. "I have just talked with Lieutenant Brits, who is In charge of your case," he replied. "He has assured me he will do everything to prove your In­ nocence and find the >real criminal, but he wants you to remain here until you can leave with your name entire­ ly cleared." **You believe me, dont you?" she murmured. "All those who know you must be­ lieve In you," he answered. "The very Innocence of your nature Is sufficient reply to the accusation against you." As he hastened down the steps of the prison, he again met Britz. The two men walked to Broadway and up that thoroughfare to Twenty-third Street When they parted, Britz knew the life history of Miss Holcomb. She had been born in good circum­ stances, and was a graduate of Smith College. All her life, she had been reared to the belief that her future was well provided for. As the only child of a Boston banker," she lived In an environment of tranquil ease that seemed her permanent heritage In life. Her father and mother died within a year of each other, during the stress of a financial panic. When the estate came to be settled, it was found insufficient to meet the out­ standing obligations of the father. Left penniless, amid the luxuries of her birth, she found employment as a governess, and two years before the discovery of the substituted paste jewels, she was engaged by Mrs. Mis­ sloner as secretary. Pitch met Miss Holcomb in Boston, and their friendship was renewed in New York. Their engagement was an­ nounced only a month before her ar­ rest Britz, trying to square the cir­ cumstances surrounding her arrest with the conclusion of guilt decided that If she took the Jewels. It must have been in a su£4*n temptation born, of the luxury of her past But, on more mature reflection, he concluded that her birth, her breeding, all the training of her life placed her above any such temptation; and when he entered his home to study the case In the quiet of his library, he was pos­ sessed of the strong conviction that Miss Holcomb was guiltless of the charge entered against her on the rsfr ords of the Court (TO BK CONTINUED.)
