The doctor hastily jotted both on the margin of a newspaper, and them he crossed to the downtown station, and in twenty minutes knocked at the door of the detective's room in Police Headquar- ters. "This must be the woman," he heard Britz say to Rawson, as he en- tered after a sharp "Come in!" The detective's finger rested 'on a name in a list of a dozen or more Rawson had submitted. "Hello, doc!" said Britz. "I guess we've found her. These are the full his own game. How da yoy Know she basn't sold them?" "This note~a" "Oh, T know ail about that" laugh ed the Prince.

Whatever his theory, there was nothing hesi tant about it: He held in regard fo the sex only the most settled opinions. "It seems to me," said the Swami, "that your conclusions are pretty far fetched. But I bow to you, Prince, fn the matter of social law. Perhaps I know a little more about the higher mysteries, but when ft comes to cotil- lons, you take a baccalaureate de gree." There may have been a shade of frony in his words. If so, Kananda, for all his subtlety, failed to notice it. "I thigk vou are clouding the ques tion needlessly when you take it for granted the woman who wrote, this note is not true to. Curtis Griswold's interests." And the Swami tapped the table meditatively with the scrap of paper the man with the glistening eyes had filched from the camera board in Burlen's workshop. "Would- n't it be a good deal more direct," said the Swami, "to continue to take It for granted she is sincere--that she received the jewels from Griswold that she still has them, and that she' rapidly 'as possible. She, therefore. sent a little note to the clubman, ask: ing that he make it a point to see her in the course .of the evening: and in the note she gave him a list of the several functions she intended to take in.

She lives in the----" "Hotel Renaissance," said Britz de- cisively. "Doctor, I tell you we're get- ting warm, As the kids say, 'We're burning up!' A conference followed, in the course of which Britz, Fitch, and Rawson plaborated a plan to ascertain whether the jewels Millicent Delaroche men- tioned fu her note to Griswold were the original" Missioner diamonds, or merely gems the clubman had bought for her. To learn that fact was not 80 easy as it sounded With weeks at his command, Britz could have gained the knowledge in a roundabout way, but he had no such time. There Were pot even "days to spare; there were not even hours to waste. Britz knew as 'well as if he saw it in black and white that' the Orientals, both of high and low caste, were centering ali their subtlety, ekill, and ingenuity upon the possession of Mrs. Mission- er's jewels--anyway, the Maharanee diamond-~and he seunsed the impor- tance of anticipating them before the night was over. That realization was based on the assumption that the con- tents of the Millicent note as yet were unknown to the more important of the Hindoos. Britz kpew the men he had caught in Bruxton Sandse's room could not get word to the Swaml nor to Prince Kananda before the morning. iors past. and in efforts to couple Fitch with her suspicious theft of the dewels.
