i the perfect automaton. His eyes, In-
stead of. being fixed at the back ot hla
master's chair, were simply riveted
upon tbe stones. A queer little feelinj
of uneasiness disturbed Ella for the
moment It passed, however, as in
glancing away her attention waa once
more attracted by the sparkle of the
jewels upon her bosom.
CHAPTER III.
The streets of New York were cov
ered with a thin, powdery snow as the
very luxurious car ot Mrs. Delarey
drew up outside the front ot the Le
land hotel, a little after midnight Ella
leaned over and kissed her hostess.
"Thank you, dear, ever so much,
for your delightful dinner," she ex
claimed, "and for bringing me home.
As tor the music, well, I can't talk
about It I am just going upstairs
Into my room to sit and think."
The car rolled oft. Ella, a large
umbrella held over her head by- the
doorkeeper, stepped up the little strip
ot drugget which led into the softly
warmed hall of the Leland. Behind
her came her maid, Lenora, and Mac
dougal, who had been riding on the
box with the chauffeur. He paused
for a moment to wipe the snow from
his clothes as Ella crossed the hall to
the left Lenora turned toward him.
He whispered something in her ear.
For a moment she shook. Then she
turned away and followed her mis
tress upstairs.
Arrived In her apartment, Ella
threw herself with a little sigh of con
tent into a big easy-chair before the
fire and gave herself up for a few mo
ments to reverie,
A log stirred upon the fire. She
leaned forward lazily to replace It and
then stopped short. Exactly opposite
to her was a door which opened on
to a back hall. It was used only by
the servants. JuBt as she was in the
act of leaning forward Ella became
conscious of a curious hallucination.
"Lenora, come here at once."
The maid hurried In from the next
apori which her inlatress' apirtmea'a
were situated, flh openH th d-wif
of tbe suite without knocking and
turned at once to tbe sitting room.
"I am eorry. my lad sb bisa.
Tbea she stopped short. The I'.ft
boy, who bad bad a little troubla l'h
bla starting apparttue and bad "t aJ
yet descended, beard the scream
which broke from ber lips, and a fire
man In an adjacent corridor ram run
ning as almost at tbe same moment.
Lenora waa on ber kneee by ber m!e
tree' ld. Ella was still Itlng In th
easy-chair lo which sb bad bee)
eaied. but her bead waa thrown back
lo aa annatural fashion. There wa
a red mark just across ber throat
Lenora shrieked. "She's fainted?
And tb diamond th diamonds have
gon!"
A doctor, hurriedly aommoned, bad
juat completed a basty esamlnatlon
when a police Inspector, followed by a
detective, entered.
"Tbla Is your affair, gentlemen, not
mine," th doctor said gravely. The
young lady la dead. 8b baa been
cruelly strangled within th last five
or ten mlnates."
The Inspector mad careful ia ru
ination of th room.
"Tell me." be Inquired. "1 this the
young lady wbo owned tb wonderful
Alhlelgh dtsmoodi?"
"Tbey'v gone!" Lenora shrieked.
"They've been stolen! She waa wear
ing them when I left the room!"
The Inspector turned to th .tele
phone "Mr. Marsbam b aald. "X am
afraid tbla will be a difficult affair. I
am going to take th liberty of calling
In an expert That yon, exchange? I
want number one. New Tork city

CHAPTER IV.
There seemed to be nothing at all
original In tb methods pursued by
the great criminologist when con
fronted with this tableau of death and
robbery. Hla remarks to tbe Inspec
tor were few and perfunctory. H
asked only a few languid questions of
Macdougal and Lenora, who were
summoned to hi presence.
Macdougal then turned to leave the
room. Lenora wa about to follow,
but Quest signed to her to remain.
"I sbould like to have a little con
versation with you about your mis
tress." he said to her pleasantly. "If
you don't mind, I will ask yon to ac
company me In my car. I will send
the man back with you."
Tbey descended In the lift together
and Quest handed tbe girl Into his car.
They drove quickly through the silent
streets.
In a few minutes Lenora waa In
stalled In an easy chair in Quest' sit
ting-room.
"Lean back and make yourself com
fortable," Quest Invited, as he took a
chair opposite to her. "I must just
look through these papers."
Tbe girl did as she was told. She
opened her coat The room was de
lightfully warm, almost overheated. A
sense of rest crept over her. She waa
conscious that Quest had laid down
the letters which he had been pre
tending to read. His eyea were fixed
upon ber. There waa a queer new
look In them, a strange new feeling
creeping through her rein.
Quest's voice broke an unnatural
silence.
"You are anxious to telephone some
one," he said. "Tou looked at both
tbe booths as we came through the
hotel. Then you remembered, I think,
that he would not be there yet. Tele
phone now. Tbe telephone Is at your
right hand. Tou koow the number."
She obeyed almost at once.
"Number 700, New York city."
"You will ask," Quest continued,
"whether he Is all right whether the
jewels are safe.'
There was a brief silence then tho
girl's voice.
"Are you there, James? . . . Yes,
I am Lenora. Are you safe? Have
you the jewels? . . . Where? . . .
You are sure that you are safe? . . .
No, nothing fresh has happened."
You are at the hotel," Quest said
softly. 'Tou are going to him."
"I cannot sleep," she continued. "I
am coming to yon."
She set down the receiver. Quest
leaned a little more closely over her.
You know where the jewels are
hidden," he said. "Tell me where?"
Her Hps quivered. She made no an
swer.
Very good," Quest concluded. "You
need not tell me. Only remember this:
At nine o'clock tomorrow morning yon
will bring those Jewels to this apart
ment. . . . Rest quietly now. I
want you to go to sleep."
She obeyed -without hesitation.
Quest watched, for a moment, Ler
regular breathing. Then he touched
a bell by his tide. Laura entered al
most at once.
