says, he, "put a whole orange, rind and

to thrust as many pieces of sugar as
possible into his cheeks. This achiev

his lips tightly closed In the midst
of this operation he swallowed down
two liquor glasses of Klrsch and a few
minutes later opened his mouth wide.
It was empty! No one made any at

MR. TAUBERY'S
DIAMOND
(Continued.)
"Yet, It Is presumable that the guest
; who came with an Imitation diamond
, in his pocket Is the man who started
a discussion which resulted In Mr.
1 Taubery producing his latest treas
ure." "So It Is. by Jove!" cried the col
onel; "I never thought of It Clever
work. Inspector, ell?"
"Exactly," said Peace, blandly.
"And now, as regards the place In
which the robbery was committed."
I "I locked the door," answered the
colonel, smacking his trousers' pocket
"Please let me have the key. Thank
you. And now as to the windows.
' Were they closed and fastened?"
"I saw to It myself."
"After the search In the library, did
any of the guests return to the dining
room?"
"I am no fool. Inspector. I left old
' Julius there to see to that No one
went back. When I had finished
searching I joined Julius, and we
locked up together. The butler had
called In the policeman on the beat
and I left him sitting In the passage
watching the door and drinking beer."
"I must go to Portland place. What
Is the number?"
"I will drive you there with all the
pleasure In the world. Inspector," said
the colonel, cheerfully. "Come along."
I left them at the foot of the stairs,
obtaining a whispered promise from
the detective that he would give me
call that night If It was not too late
when he returned.
I spent a disconsolate evening at
the club. Never did I play a more de
graded hand at bridge, though
should certainly have taken exception
to the remarks of my partner under
more ordinary circumstances. There
' Is a point at which fair criticism ends
and deliberate Insult begins.
By ten o'clock I was back again In
my rooms, where I loitered, amongst
my books and pictures. In restless ex
pectation. It was chiming midnight
when there came a discreet tap at my
outer door, and Addlngton Peace
walked in. He sat himself down In
the easy chair I offered, and permitted
; me to mix him a whisky and soda.
"Tell me, have you found the dia
mond T"
"No."
"Nor the thief?"
"I know him to be one of five men
that Is all."
"Five? And how do you make that
out?"
"It Is very simple. The real dia
mond was examined by Professor En
dlcott; It was an Imitation that
reached Sir Andrew Carihon. There
fore It Is reasonable that one of the
five who sat between them changed
the one for the other."
"So you strike out the professor and
Sir Ancjew?"
"If either of them bad been Impli
cated they would hardly have raised
the quarel that resulted In the dis
covery ot the theft"
"And this suspected Bve who are
theyr :
"Our friend Colonel Gunton. Mr.
Thomas Graddock, a clerk In the war
office: tt9 Hon. Oeorge Carstalrs, Lor
Wlntone's brother; Mr. Abel Field 01
Grey anl Field, car manufacturers;
and the Rev. Aubrey Power, a minor
canon of Westminster Abbey. I have
made so-ne light Inquiries and find
nothing against them. Carstalrs,
Craddoct; and Power are men of mod
erate Id jome, the other two are rich.
"Yet tils gives us one Important
concluslcn. The actual thief Is an am
ateur In' crime. So far as anyone
knows tt Is Is his first offense. But It
was cot 4 sudden temptation to which
he yielded. On the contrary, be was
carrying out his share In a plot that I
had been long and carefully prepared.
H substituted an imitation diamond
for the original as It passed through
bis hands an easy matter; but who
thought out the scheme, who bad this
admirable Imitation made, who knew
that Taubery was leaving the country
and that the diamond was to be sent
Immediately to the strong room of a
bank, where the substitution that had
taken place might not be discovered
for months, perhaps years?
"Who, In short, had the clever
brain, the far-sighted Judgment, the
familiarity with jewels and those who
deal In them, all of which would be re
quired In the originator of such a
fraud? Not Ounton. nor Craddock,
nor Carstalrs, nor Field, nor the Kev.
Aubrey Power. There Is some one
who has Influence over one of these
men, some one pulling the strings be
hind the curtain. I shall consider tt
an honor to make that person's arrest
Mr. Phillips."
Inspector Addlngton Peace beamed
upon me as he concluded bis deduc
tion concerning the theft of Julius
Taubery's diamond, with an expres
sion of hopeful enthusiasm, and lit a
cigarette at my reading lamp.
"This unknown criminal genius has
got the diamond, anyway," I said.
"I am not so sure of that Consider
the position of the actual thief on" the
discovery that the stone was false. He
must hare been In a state of blind ter
ror. If we may suppose that Colonel
Ounton Is Innocent, the bellowing of
that worthy gentleman must have
frightened him the more. To be
searched, discovered, and actually dis
graced a pleasant prospect, surely!
We may take It that be waa heartily
sorry for the part be had played ; that
he wished the -diamond a thousand
miles away. To get rid of It previous
to tne ordeal before the colonel and
Prottmtor Kndleott In the Ubrei

"Te bere X am met br the -mt..u
tfffleult? that i eaaaoa nod
niond. I have made the closest Inves
tigation without result As Colonel
Uunton told us. Mr. Taubery remained
In the dining room to see that none
of the guesta returned after they bad
been searched. The door was subse
quently locked and a policeman sta
tioned In the passage outside; the
windows were fastened. Therefore
the thief could not come back to re
cover what he hnd temporarily hidden.
All of which might seem to prove that,
though Colonel Gunton affirms that be
went through the guests with an ex
pert hand, one of them managed to
ketp the diamond about him and carry
It away. Yet such an achievement
suggests rather the professional than
the an-ntour criminal. And. If for
that reason alone. I believe that the
stone Is still In the house. We ought
to be able to decide that point within
a week."
"I can't see why. Peace," I said.
"No? Then, pray dont trouble
about It. And really, Mr. Phillips, as
I have a long day's work before me. It
Is time I was oft to bed. Do you know
It Is one o'clock?"
I knew how useless It was to ques
tion the little man when be thought
he had told enough. So I bade him
good night with the best grace that
disappointment would permit It bad
been kind of him to trouble about me,
after all.
Three days went by, and I bad not
had the chance of asking Peace for
news. For two nights, as I discovered
by Inquiry, he slept out, only appear
ing for an hour about noon to change
his linen; for he was most careful of
his appearance and as cleanly as a
rat Indeed, I bad a secret belief that
his nails were regularly manicured In
Bond street. When I did see him It
was by accident, and, to be frank,
nothing he bad done gave me greater
surprise.
I was walking through Kensington
gardens about eleven o'clock on a
visit to a friend whose studio lay to
the north of the park. It was charm
ing weather. The fresh leaves on the
smoke-black boughs, the flower beds
rich In variegated coloring, the deep
throated coo of the pigeons, the chat
ter of Innumerable sparrows, all told
that winter bad passed and spring waa
calling a welcome to summer. I had
Just turned from a long shrub-walled
walk Into an open spare when I came
upon the amazing spectacle of Ad
dlngton Peace flirting with a very
pretty nursemaid.
Whatever the little inspector had
been, whatever be waa, there was
nothing of the Don Juan In bis com
position. I had already noticed that
be took pains to avoid the opposite
sex, with that uneasy consciousness
of their presence which marks the
bachelor with principles. Yet there
he sat, sharing the same bench and
talking earnestly into her ear, while
before them a little boy pedalled In
dustriously up and down upon a trl-cycle-horse,
a long-niancd, long-tailed
toy set on three wheels and propelled
by Indifferent pedals. It was Idyllic,
domestic, but distinctly surprising. .
As I passed the bench, Peace stared
at me without a glimmer of recogni
tion In his keen gray eyes.
I bad JuRt finished my breakfast
next morning when In walked the In
spector. I laughed; Indeed I could not
help It; and he answered me with a
quick glance, half annoyance, balf re
proach. "Something Is going to happen to
day in the matter of the diamond." he
said. "But I warn you, Mr. Phillips,
that If you Intend to make fun of me
you shan't know a word about It."
"You entirely misjudge me,"I said,
sticking my nose Into my coffee cup
to hide a grin.
"Very well. There Is a sale of fur

elbowed my way towards him. He had
a little boy "with him. whom he car

tone that successfully competed with
the auctioneer's. "Come to see the

The great table was bought, the last

only remained a few details that were

A gray haired man In an overcoat
who stood near by nodded his head at
the auctioneer.
"Eleven shillings going at eleven
shillings."
"Fifteen," bawled the colonel. ,
"One pound." said the gray-haired
man.
I had no Idea what the cost of such
toys might be; but the price, second
hand, seemed high. Several of the
dealers gathered about the chair on
which the auctioneer was standing
looked back at us over their shoul
ders. "Confound those dealers!" cried
the colonel. "If an outside buyer
wants anything they try to squeeze
him out They're all In league. It
ought to be stopped. It's a monstrous
shame. It's Iniquitous. Twenty five
shillings to you, sir."
"Thirty," said the gray-haired man.
"Two pounds."
As the bids increased the temper
of the colonel grew worse and worse.

began to chuckle, and finally to laugh j
