He cannot remember exactly how long he was A absent, but he feels convinced that he was not gone more than a quarâ€" .ter of an hour at the very utmost. "Their conversation finished, she accompanied him down‘stairs, where she saw him take up the ease to carry it to his carriage. Beâ€" fore he left the house, however, she said: ‘I suppose you have looked to see that the â€"necklace is all right? ‘How could I do so?‘ was his reply. ‘You know you possess the only key that will fit it ? Ns _ ‘(Ghe felt in her pockets, but to her surprise the key was not there." If I were a detective I should say that is a point to be rememberâ€" ed,"â€"said Carne with a smile. ‘"‘Pray, where odid. she find her keys 2 "Upon her dressingâ€"table,""‘ said Amberley. ‘"Though she has not the slightest recollection of leavâ€" ing them there." "Well, when she had procured the keys, what happened ?" ‘‘Why, they opened the box, and, to their astonishment and dismay, found it empty. The jewels were | A Visit in the Night: [ eEwWell, El tell you why I bhave _ come,"‘ replied Lord Amberiey. ‘‘Naturally, they are most anxious to have the mystery solved and the jewels recovered as soon as posâ€" sible. Wiltshire wanted to send to Sentland Yard there and theo, but his wife and I eveatually porâ€" suaded him to consult Klimo. As _ you know if the police authorities are called in first, he refuses the business altogether. Now, . we thought, as you are his nextâ€"door peighbor, you might possbly be i able to assist us." "YÂ¥ou may be very sure, my lord, T will do everything that lies in n my power. Let us go in and see him at once." gone At first they stood staring into the empty box, hardly believing the evidence of their own eyes. Stare how they would, however, they could not bring them back. The jewels had, without doubt, disapâ€" peared, but when and where the robbery had taken place :t was imâ€" possible to say. After .that they had up all the servants aad quesâ€" tioned them, but the result was what they might have foresecn, no ons freom the butler to the kitchenâ€" maid could throw any light upon the subject. To this minute it reâ€" mains as great a mystery as when they first discovered it." «‘Good gracious! â€" What a terâ€" tible loss! It seems almost imposâ€" sible that it can be true. _ And pray, what did they do *‘ "I am more concerned than I can tell you," said Carme. .‘ How thankful I ought to be that I reâ€" turned the casse to Her Grace last night. But in thinking of myself I am forgetting to ask what has brought you to me. If I can be of any assistance I hope you will comâ€" mand jae."‘ As he spoke he rose and threw what remained of his cigarette inâ€" to the fireplace. His visitor having imitated his example, they proâ€" eured their hats and walked round from Park Lane into Belverton Strect to bring up at No. 1. After they had rung the bell and the dsor was opened to them by the old woman who invariably received the Aetective‘s clients. "Is Mr. Klimo at home?‘ asked Came. ‘"And if â€"so, can. we_ ses him In CHAPTER I!M.â€"(Cont‘d) The old lady wase a little deaf, 127 m OR, A SERVICE TO THE STATE and the question had to be reâ€" peated before she could be made to understand what was wanted. As soon, however, as she realized their desire, she informed them that her master was absenat from town, but would be back as usual at twelve o‘clock to meet his clieats. ‘What on earth‘s to be done?!‘ said (he Earl, leoking at his com. panion in dismay. "I am afraid I i t e in d paRCOID 110 Looge O9 C mlsooaereca n can‘t come back again, as I have a most important â€" appointmen‘t at that Hour. ‘ ‘Do you think you could entrust the business to me?" asked Carne. "If so, I will make a point of seeâ€" ing him_ at twelve o‘clock, and could call at Wiltshire House afâ€" terwards and tell the Duke what I have done." "That‘s very good of you,"‘ reâ€" plied Amberley. ‘"If you are sure it would not put you to too much trouble, that would be quite the best thing to be done." "‘¥You are very kind,""‘ said the other. ‘"Then, as I understand it, you are to call upon Klimo at twelve o‘clock, and afterwards to let my cousins know what you have succeeded in doing. I only hope he will help us to secure the thief. We are having too many of these burglaries just now. I must catch this hansom and be off. Goodâ€"bye, and maay thankse‘"‘ "I will fo it with pleasure,"‘ Carne replied. "I feel it my duty to help in whatever way I can. ‘ «CGocetbye," sal Carne, and shook him by the haxnd. The hansom having rolled away, Carne fetraced his steps to his own abode. "It is really very strange, he muttered as he walked along, ‘"how often chance condescends to lend her assistance to my little schemes. The mere fact that His Grace left the box unwatched in his study for a quarter of an hour may serve to throw the police off on quite anâ€" other sceeant. I am also glad that they decided to open the case in the house, for if it had gone to the bankers‘ and had been placed in the strongâ€"room unexamined, I should never have been able to get possession of the jewels at all." Three bours later he «rove to Wiltshire House and saw the Duke. The Duchess was far too much upâ€" set by the catastrophe to see any one. ‘‘"This is really most lkind of you, Mr. Carne," said His Grace when the other had supplied an elaborâ€" ate account of his interview with Klimo. "‘We are extremely inâ€" debted to you. I am sorty he can: not _ come before temn o‘clock toâ€" night, and that he makes this stiâ€" pulation of my seeing him alone, for I must confess I should like to have had some one else present to ask any questions that might esâ€" cape me.

He says : "Eor the past 5 years Grapeâ€" Nuts bas been a prominent feature in our bill of fare. "‘The crisp food with the deliciâ€" ous, nutty flavor has become an indispensable necessity in my famâ€" ily‘s evetyday life: "It has proved to be wost healthâ€" ful and beneficial, and has erabled us to practically abolish pastry and pies from our table, for the chilâ€" dren prefer Grape Nuts and do not crave rich and unwholesome food. "Grapeâ€"Nuts keeps us all in perâ€" fect physical conditionâ€"as a preâ€" ventive of disease it is ~beyond value. / I have been particularly impressed by the beneficial effecis of Grapeâ€"Nuts when used by. ladies who are troubled with face blemâ€" ishes, skin eruptions, etc. It clears up the complexion wonderfully. "As to its nutritive qualities, my experience is that one small dish of Grapeâ€"Nuts is superior to a pound of meat for breakfast, which is an important consideration for anyone. 1t satisfies the appetite and strengthens the power of reâ€" sisting ~{fatigue, while its use inâ€" volves. none of the disagreeable consequences that sometimes follow a meat breakfast."

I feel convinced, however, that my servants are as innoceat as I am. Nothing will ever make me think them otherwise. I wish I could catch the fellow, that‘s all. Td make him suffer for the trick he‘s played me.‘ Carne offered an appropriate reâ€" ply, and a little further conversaâ€" tion upon the subject, bade the irate nobleman goodâ€"bye and left the house. From Belgrave Syuare e drove to one of the clubs of which he bad been elected a memâ€" ber, in search of Lord Orpingson, with whom he had promised to lunch, and afterwards took nin to a shipâ€"builder‘s yard near Greenâ€" wich, in order 4o show bim the steam yacht he had lately purâ€" chased. It was close upon dinnerâ€"time keâ€" fore he returned to his own resiâ€" dence. He brought Lord Orping: ton with him, and they dined in state together. At nine o‘clock the latter bade him goodâ€"bye, and at ten Carne retitred to his dressâ€" ingâ€"room and rang for Belton. "I followed your instructions to the letter,"‘ Belton replied. ‘‘Yesâ€" terday morning I wrote to Messts. Horniblow and Jimson, the house agents in Piccadilly, in the name of Colonel Braithwaite; and asked for an order to view the residence to the right of Wiltshire House. I asked that the order might be sent direct to thes house, where the Colonel would get it upon his arr‘â€" val. This letter I posted myseli in Basingstoke, as you desired me to do. "At nine o‘clock yesterday mornâ€" ing I dressed myself as much like an elderly army officer as possible, and took a cab to Belgrave Square. The caretaker, an _ old fellow of close upon seventy years of age, admitted me immediately upon hearing my name, and proposed that he should show me over the house. This, however, I told, him was quite unnecessary, backing my speech with a present of halfâ€"aâ€" crown, whereupon he returned to his breakfast perfectly satisfied, while I wandered about the house at my own leisure. "Reaching the same floor as that upon which is situated the room in which the Duke‘s safé is kept, I discovered that your supposition was quite correct, and that it would be possible for a man, by, opening the wirdow, to make his way along the coping from one house to the other, without bkeing seen. I made certain that there was no one in the bedroom in which the butler slept, and then arranged the long telescope walkâ€" ingâ€"stick you gave me, and fixed one of my boots to it by means of the screw in the end. With this I was able to make a regular sucâ€" cession of footsteps in the dust along the ledge, between one winâ€" dow and the other. "‘That done, I weat downstairs again, bade the caretaker goodâ€" morniag, and got into my cab. From Belgrave Square I drove to the shop of the pawnbroker whom you told me you had discovered was ut of town. His aszistant inquired my business, and was anxious to do what he could for me. I to‘d him, however, that I must see his master personally, as it was about the sale of some. diamonds I had had left me. I preteaded to be annoyed that he was not at home, and muttered to myself, so that the man could hear, something about its meaning a journey to Amster dlam. ‘"‘Then I limped out of the shop, paid off my cab, and, walking d _wn a byâ€"street, removed my moustache, and altered my appearance by takâ€" ing off my greatâ€"coat and mutfllerâ€" A few streets further on 1 purâ€" chased a bowler hat in place of the oldâ€"fashioned topper I had hitherâ€" to beea wearing, and then took a cab from _ Piccadilly and . came home."" "You bave fulflled my instrue tions® admirably,, said Carne: "CAad if the business comes off, as I expect it will, you shall receive your usual percentage. Now I must be turaed into Klimo and be off to Belgrave Square to put His Grace of Wiltshire upen the vxack of this burglar."‘ Before he retired_ to rest that night Simon Carne took something, wrapped in a red silk handkeren‘ef, from the capacious pocket of the coat Klimo had been wearitag a few momerts before. Having unrol‘cd the covering, he held up to chs light the : masamficeat . neck!v=c which for so many years had beer the joy and pride of the ducxl house of Wiltshire. The elecsric light played upon it. and touched it with a thousa~dâ€"differont huecs. "‘Where so maay have failed." he said to himself, as he wrapceed it in the hacdkerchief again and locked it in his safe, ‘4t is pleasact to be able to congrazsulate onssc‘f on havin gsucceeded. It is without its equal, and I don‘t think I shall be overstepping the mark if i say that I think when she receives it Liz will be glad she lent me the money.‘ To Thee we look, our risen Lord ; We triumph in Thy faithful word ; ‘fo Thee we give all praise.

WATSON Tona Station, Ont., 1911. wWHERE PROTECTION HELPS THE FARMER. Keeps Out Meats and Butter From the Antipodes. An instance of how a Protective Tariff protects the farmer of Canâ€" ada is seen now and then, when the Customs Officers hold up for duty some shipment from farâ€"off Australia or China. On March 18th last, 750 carcasses of frozen lamb from Australia were landed at St. John, N. B. 250 carcasses were sent to the William Davies Co., Limited, Toronto. The greater part of the remainder were shipped to Montreal. _ This lamb was purchased at nine cents per pound delivered in bond at Toâ€" ronto. Under existing conditions the duty was three cents per pound. This made the lamb cost twelve cents per pound laid down in Toâ€" ronto. FEresh dressed lambs were selâ€" ling in Toronto at that time at 12%ec. to 13¢. per pound. y Hence, after paying tris duty there was nct much difference beâ€" tween the prices of the Australian and Canadian lamb. The duty protected the Canadian farmer against the Australian proâ€" duct. But under Reciprocity the duty on this frozen lamb will be only 1%c. per pound, so that similar shipments could be laid down in Toronto at 10%e. per pound, two or three ceats per pound cheaper than the price for the home raised products. Referring to the lambs which were sent to Montreal. When they reached Montreal. Canadian lamb was selling at 10%%c. The Austraâ€" lian lambs were sold at 9%c. delivâ€" ered ex cars Montreal duty paid, the owners apparently being conâ€" tented to undersell the Canadian market by one cent per pound. Now, if you wish to see the effect upon the live stock market of the raceipt of this Australian lamb in Montreal, turn up the Moâ€"breal papers of March 20th, in one of which, for example, the headline was, ‘‘Sheep Sold Lower in Local Markets." If, with the three cent duty on every pound, frozen lamb can be profitably imported from Austraâ€" lia, it seems almost eonclusive that reducing the duty will also reduce the price of Canadian lamb accordâ€" ingly. monlum ‘And not only does Australia exâ€" port frozen meat, but it exports butter as well. â€"It exports annuâ€" ally between fifty and seventyâ€"five million pounds of butter. Eooo n carare in Australian butter can be laid | down now in bond at Montreal at| 23e. per pound. _ A duty of four| cents per pound keeps it out of| competition with the Canadian butter now selling at 26¢. per ound.
