One evening 1 was sluing to restau rant flnUhlng an after dinner cigar -when a abort, foreign looking man. ex pensively dressed, came and aat down lx...".v me. U.eUM' the liberty 1 take In ad-al.-wlnf you.M he began courteously, speaking with a atrong foreign accent. tut In perfect English, "but your fame lias ludlrvctly reached my ears. 1 think I have the honor of addressing Sir. Godfrey Vlncer That U my name." 1 returned, much niaied. "May I ask what you desire avltb me?" He came very close and. sinking his rolce. saM U a whisper. "I want you to carry off f.r me the Apollo statue from the house of Sir Tltua Blaydes at Lnuswnrth t'ourt." One kIuikv ut the card told me alL It Vre the name of Count Antonio IVlsrooca. the famous millionaire col lector of the antique, whose gallery at IIliiD cotit.ilued prlcelcsa glories of ancient masters. "I recognize your name, count, and abnll be glad to be of service to you. But may I ask what constrained you to Cx upon me as the Instrument of your designs?" "1 chanced to he present at your trial over the Wlgzuore case. when, as you will remMuler, you escaped with a light sentence, though the evidence showed you to be an artist In crime. 1 kept my eye upon you. resolving to Ccr you this delicate mission directly the government no longer required your services." "I shall be delighted to do all In my power for you count, but first of all you must tell me In detail what you re quire done." Most certainly." he made answer, as lie offered me a cigar and relit his own. "During the past four years 1 have nude couuiless offers to Sir Titus Blaydes for his Apollo, the offers being jnatie through secret agents of mine, for naturally the baronet would not part with the statue to a rival collector such as myself. My last offer waa no Ic&a than $:O,000. but this also was jnhositatlugly refused." lie paused and blew a great cloud from his cigar. Then he resumed: "I am a man of Iron will and what I set my heart upon 1 always obtain. Sir Titus has proved unamenable to fair means. 1 will now assail him with the only alternative stratagem. Yea, mere ly stratagem, not robbery, for on the lay that you band over to me the Apol lo statue 1 shall forward him anony mously the Bum of I2S0.000. And you, my friend, would receive $25,000. Come, Is the bait sufficiently tempt Ingr Before we parted he gave me bis ad dress In Milan, for which place be was leaving on the morrow, and It waa to this address that 1 was to convey tne tatue if my efforts proved successful. 1 may add that be left with me the , uu of $2,000 as a guarantee of good faith. On the following Monday I Journey ed down to Longworth court, and, auliwliug with the crowd, entered the tpaclous mansion, 1 soon gained ad mittance to the gallery. The more I contemplated the busi ness the further and further away did the count's reward seem, and by the time I reached London I was In a de spairing mood. I retired to bed. resolT d to think no more of the matter, though on the following morning 1 visited two of my oldest chums. Jack Grimes and Tom Harris, and put the case to them. They sneered at the af fair, declaring It was lmposailble. Jt therefore came about that the emitter passed out of my mind until the end of November, when It was thought back to me In a curious man ner. I happened to enter a theater one night where a play was being enacted in which a distracted hairdresser, be ing pursued by a statue which had Jbecn miraculously endowed with life, iu'!Jeuly conceived the Idea of paint ting her face and dressing ber In mod ern attire, so as to render ber appear ance more conventional when she waa trarUng Lis steps. A a lda Cashed through my brain Mrkon I witnessed this Incident. I did snot wait for the end of the play, but 2eff.cz Into a hansom, drove to our den, where, by a lucky chance, I found Or'me and Harrla ensconced la arm chairs and smoking peacefully. They both looked up quickly, but did not s;eak. My plan Is this," I went on, epeak- Ing Try slowly, so that their rather sluggish brains might follow me. "I propose that we throe disguise our elves at police o moors, you two aa constables and I as Inspector. We arotiM Sir Titus Klaydes oue ulght and Inform him that we have reason to be lieve that burglau are In the hous. "While he Is waiting ami 1 am there to keep him company, you two follows make track for the gallery, and when you get there you proceed to make up the statue In the gulso of a modern burglar by means of coat, trousor. muillor. overcoat, cap. shin's, beard, whiskers and grease paint, all of which you can conceal alout your persous. "IMroctly the disguise business la completed you lire a revolver. Hear ing the report. I rush up to the gallery w ith a long face to tell Sir Titus that the burglar, a desperate ruffian, has been accidentally shot You two men will then carry down the supposed burglar, whose face will be covered with a handkerchief." Grimes drew a long breath. "Well, I'm blowed!" he exclaimed hoarsely, as he knocked the ashes from his clay, "If that alu'l the rumiuest an the cut est dodge as ever I came aerost. Yer 'aqd, gov'nor. yer 'and. It's a pleasure to commit a fellerney with a bloke like yer to Ihiss It." The evening of Pec. 1 was a typical foggy night. Hy the time St. tilles' church struck 12. a cab containing Grimes. Harris and myself was ou the way to lxngworth Court. The dressing of the statue had al ready been rehearsed a dotea times on a plaster Apollo which I bad bought In Ruston road, and there was therefore little to fear In the way of a break down unless Sir Titus Insisted on ac companying the supposed constables In search of the Imaginary burglars. However. In all protiablUty he would do nothing of the sort: at worst. If be did so, we would simply abandon the business and go home. Longworth Court was some 13 mile from London, and It therefore took us the best part of three hours to reach our destination. We alighted at the end of the lane leading to the mansion, and bade Flow ers, one of my oldest and smartest I chums, to wait till he beard our whis tle liefore driving up to the door. This precaution was taken In case any local police chanced to 1 hanging atniut the house while we were engaged Inside. We then marched boldly tip the drive and rang the U-1L After an Interval of five minutes there was the sound of heavy bolts being drawn, and the door swung oen. disclosing a white haired old man whom I took to Ik? the butler. He gave a cry when the light from bis lantern fell on our faces and uni forms. "Calm yourself, my good man." 1 said, assuming an official voice. "You have nothing to fear. From Informa tion received, we believe that burglars are In the east whig of this bouse, and we have come to catch them. Arouse your master Immediately." Sir Tltua Blaydes. a thin, pinched np little man, apxared quickly. He waa evidently quite as scared as his butler, and when we told btin our mission be wrung his bands. "Be quick, officers." be screamed, his face blanching with terror, "and I will wait here In the hall till you return. Stay, Inspector. You might stop with me In case the blackguards should come this way." During their absence Sir Titus, with chattering teeth, conversed with me, telling me how he had always dreaded such an attack, and now It had come to pass. His reflections were Inter rupted by a loud report, wblcb rang out sharp and clear through the still house. 1 darted from the hall and an Instant later returned, with a gloomy mien. "I regret to say. Sir Tltua," 1 cried, "that the man has been shot dead. There was only one of them, but be made terrible resistance, and In the struggle his own weapon went off, the bullet entering bis brain. We will take him away at once." 1 thought my heart would stand still when, after the supposed corpse had been brought toward the door, blr Titus came forward and exclaimed In a quick, hurried tone: "Stop! Set It down. Strangelyeuougb, In all my 38 years, 1 have never seen a dead man. Let me see the face of this one." There was nothing to be done but to let the morbid baronet have his way and trust to luck and to the deception of wig, paint and beard. The baronet knelt beside the statue and raised the handkerchief from the blood stained face. Then a look of dis gust crossed his patrician features, and be rose, having carefully replaced the handkerchief. "Take It away, officers," he said. "A more repulsive and ruffianly looking countenance 1 never saw. Crime Is tamped on every feature." And that was bow the millionaire collector of the antique characterized a statue for which be had refused $250, 000.
