For the moment a new element bad

little tableau. All eyes were fixed upon

dubious words with a supercilious

Thorpe, and so's tbe Idiot who wrote
this stuff!" Laura exclaimed, thrust
ing the .paper away from ber. "I
guess tbe professor was dead right
when he told French be was locking
up tbe one man who could clear up
the whole show."
Lnora nodded thoughtfully.
' "Tbe professor spoke up like 'a
man," she agreed,' "but Laura, 1 want
to ask you something. Did you notice
his servant that man Craig?"
. "Can't say I did particularly," Laura
admitted.

Quest shrugged his shoulders.'
' "Hsr you are, then," he replied.
This morning I decided to make an
attempt to clear up tbe mystery of
Macdougal's disappearance. I sent on
my secretary, Miss Laura, to make
time.
"What are you getting at, kid?"
Laura demanded.
"At Craig. If I can," Lenora replied,
moving toward tbe telephone. "Please
give me- tbe phototelesme. I am
going to talk to the professor."

"I never read newspapers, young
lady," the professor replied.
"Let me tell you what they say
about Mr. Quest!"
Lenora' commenced a rambling ac

newspaper. All the time the eyes of
tbe two girls were fixed upon the mir-

Mrs. Rhelnholdt?"
Quest drew the keys of the safe
from bis pocket, crossed the room and
swung open the safe door. For a mo
ment afterwards he stood transfixed,
ills arm, half outstretched, remained
motionless. Then he turned slowly
around.
"The Jewels have been stolen," he
announced with unnatural calm.
The inspector laid his hand heavily
upon Quest's shoulder.
"You will kindly consider yourself
under arrest. Quest Ladles and gen
tlemen, will you clear the room now,
If you please. The ambulance 1 tele

The professor, who had been look
ing as though dated, suddenly Inter
vened. "Mr. French," be said earnestly, "1
am convinced that you are making a
great mistake. In arresting and tak
ing away Mr. Quest you are removing
from us the one man who is likely to
be able to clear up this mystery."
The inspector pushed blm gently
to on side.

, The professor glanced regretfully at
his manuscrapt. but he did not hesi

"If yon think he would appreciate
it, 1 will go at one," he decided.
Her face shone with gratitude.
"That Is really kind of you, profes

In the hall she paused for a moment,
listening with beating heart By the
aide wall was a hat rack with branch
ing pegs, from which several ! coats
were hanging. She slipped quietly be

A moment or two later she heard
the professor leave the house. Very

slipped into the study and . moved
stealthily to the fireplace. There was
a little heap of ashes In one distinct
spot Ehe gathered them up in her
handkerchief and secreted it in her
dress and quietly left the house.
At Georgia square she found Laura
watting for ber, and a few minutes af
terward the two girls were examining
tbe ashes with the aid of Quest's mi
croscope.. Among the little pile was
one fragment at the sight of which
they both exclaimed. . It was distinctly
a shred of charred muslin embroidery.
Lenora pointed toward it triumphant
ly. ".- . ' '
"isn't that evidence?" she demand
ed. "Let's ring up Inspector French!"
Laura shook her head doubtfully.
"Not so fast" she advised. "French
is a good sort in his way, but he's
prejudiced just now against the boss.
I'm not sure that this evidence would
go far by itself."
"It's evidence enough for us to go to
Craig, though! What we have got to
do is to get a confession out of blm,
somehow!"
Laura studied her companion, for a
moment, curiously.
"Taking some interest in Mr. Quest,
kid. ain't you?" "
. Lenora looked up. Then her head
suddenly sank into her hands: She
knew quite well that her secret had
escaped her. Laura patted her shoul
der. "That's all right, child," she said
soothingly. "We'll see him through
this, somehow or other."
"Laura," exclaimed Lenora, "we will
save Mr. Quest and we will get hold
of Craig! I have a plan Listen!"

"What do you think you can do
