THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLB4 INK, THURSDAY, MARCH 11th, 1937 Tea for every Taste "SALAD/? Star Ruby By Louise Jerrold Albertine Tevans, shopgirl, falls in love with Dennis Maxwell, Jewellery salesman, but is bothered by his mysterious actions. He speaks once of being on the lookout for a man with a drooping eyelid. Albertine's righ great-aunt Celia Tevans invites her for a visit. Before she leaves, Dennis gives her a star ruby to keep for him. At her aunt's estate are two other guests--Countess Yelena Loupakoff and her brother, CounJ Michael. Then, Dennis arrives to show some rubles to Aunt Celia. He makes Albertine pretend they are strangers to each other, and pays ardent attention to the Countess. The houseman, Bates, who always wears dark glasses, gets drunk one evening, and Albertine catches him without his glasses on. He has a drooping eyelid! In the middle of that night, she hears a scuffle in Denny's room. CHAPTER XI In a few minutes, Bates came hurrying in with candles. Should he telephone the Tillage for an electrician? Aunt Celia gave him a number to call and he left the room. Michael remembered that he had a flashlight in his luggage and went to get it. And Yelena, pleading a headache went with him for a tablet. Fifteen minutes passed Neither Michael nor Yelena had returned. And Bates had not yet brought the car around. Finally. Dennio grew impatient. "T sorry," he apologized, "but 1 must be starting for the train. I'll go see what's happened to Bates." A search however revialed no sign of the houseman. "And where are Michael and Yelena?" Albertine said. Aunt Celia looked at her blankly. absolutely necessary that I catch that train," he said nervously. "Isn't there anyone else who could drive me to the depot? The cook or the gardener?" "I will!" Albertine was all eager- Dennis grabbed his bag. "Then we bad better get under way." He and Albertine hurried out to the garage and climbed into the limousine. Albertine took the wheel, competently backed the ear into the driveway and was soon headed for the highway. "Denny," she said. "It's awfully queer about Bates and the Russians." Not so queer. They've all vamoosed, cleared out -- that's all." She turned a second to stare at him. "But why? And how -could they have left without taking the car?" "It's my guess that Bates sneaked all their luggage to the depot before dinner. You'll recall that he was late. He probably made arrangements in the village for someone to come and get them--picking them up outside the gates -- so that we wouldn't hear the car. And as to why they all 1" so abruptly, I'd say that I was mixed up a bit in that." "Denny -- I caught Bates without those dark glasses last evening -- he was drunk in the kitchen. And his -- his right eyelid drooped. I meant to tell you this before -- but it seemed so silly--" "I saw him, too," Dennis interrupted. "Then he's the man you've been looking for? But you said that man was sandy-haired. That's what fooled me--" "Bates has dyed his hair," Dennis explained. Albertine was struck by another thought. "Yelena told me Bates used to work for them!" "He still does," Dennis said firmly, "but not exactly in the capacity of houseman and chauffeur. Step on the gas, Blue Eyes. I can't let George Romans World y Mair M.

Then he suddenly left about six months ago. And about that time he left, it was discovered that a very valuable diamond choker had been stolen from the shop and the circumstances pointed to me. I was convinced that George had made away with those diamonds and had framed me, but how was I to prove it? Mr. Tanuiau was good enough to believe my story, but the fellows I work with have never been entirely convinced. I knew I could never hope to be fully exonerated till I caught Zoland." "I felt sure he couldn't disguise himself completely. That drooping eye lid of his would give him away. Well last week the insurance company that had stood the loss oh the diamonds gave us the tip that one of their spotters in New York had located and investigated a man partly answering to Zoland's ascription. And there you have my reason for flying to New York, early this week. But I got there too late. I missed George and lis gang." "Gang?" Albertine said. "Ycu mean Yelena and Michael?" "Yes.

He probably also found out about her defective eyesight before he went into this thing. At any rate he 'new he had fallen into a good thing." "Aunt Celia's collection!" Albertine gasped. "Exactly," said Dennis. "She must have had it with her in New York for George evidently managed to make his duplicates before they all came here with Miss Tevans. I searched his room this afternoon, while he h d you and your aunt out, but I couldn't find a thing." "And that's why you wanted the combination to the safe! You wanted "I didn't need the combination after all," he cut in. "Your aunt showed me her collection this morning and I also knew the worst. The fakes had been substituted. Besides, I'd already seen the "pearls" she'd given you. And you'll remember Yelena was cagey of that sapphire necklace of hers. She wouldn't wear it while I was there. Bogus stuff, of course." "But did you know that you'd find Zoland here with Aunt Celia?" "No." He and the pseudo-Russians had dropped from sight before I got to New York, and I didn't recognize him when I first got here. I thought _ he acted queerly, and the black glasses were unusual too, but the mustache and black hair put me off. _ "Then, just before you came downstairs that night, I caught sight iof Michael and Yelena -- and things lbe-gan to click for me -- I'd got a pretty good description of them i York.
