C H A P T E R Y.— (Continued.)
“ I went to bed,, my brain aflame with
Speculation; put out the candle; lit it
again. I could not bare slept if a king's
ransom went with the sleeping; and so 1
lay fretful, blameful, rowing the whele
problem a plague and a cheat. This idle
wandering might hare lasted until dawn,
had it pot been for tny neighbor in the
room to my*left, who began to talk with
' a low bun as of a night-insect humming
In a bed curtain. The surging of (be

listened to it. Now it rose loud— 1 glean­

and I fretted; bat anon another roico was
added to the Brat, and. If the one bad
pleased me, the second thrilled me. It
. bras the roice o'f my friend at the dock.
«
“ Tw o words spoken by this man
brought me to my fe e t; two more to the
Chin wooden door which dirided our
rooms. With feverish impatience I knelt
t o pry through the keyhole. It was staffed
with paper. I listened with an ear long
trained to listening, although the men
spoke so that few words reached me. The
ship had not sailed, then, for here was
the ruffian, who watched her, wasting rest
In the first hoars to hold a parley; and

who paid him for th/ work, I did not
Boubt.
“ A t the end o f an hoar the roices ceas­
ed. I* Judged that my neighbor had gone
to bed. I took from my satchel a brace
and bit, and an oiled saw. In ten mis-
utes 1 cut a hole in the partition and put
■ay eye to it. A burly, black-bearded
■nan sat in g' reverie before a dressing
•able, and I sew that there was spread
mpon the table a great heap of «jewels.
And beside the jewels was a big bulldog
revolver.
“ Who was this man? I asked, andwhy
iB d T b r alt In an Italian hotel fingering
jewels, and giving a meeting place at mid­
night to a common murderer from a dock­
yard? Were the jewels his own? Had he
Borne by them honestly? He stirred in hie
chair and then sat bolt upright. I thought
be looked to hare some tremor of nervous­
ness upon hior; clutching hastily at the
fewels to put them in a great leather case,
ich again he shut in s larger iron box,
iag both, and placing the key under
pillow. After that he threw off his
with some impatience, and, leay-
the lamp which burned upon his dress-
table, be dropped upon his bed.
| “ Being assured that my man slept, I
put back with some cold gins, which was
always in my tool cheat, the piece I had
rut from the door, and then picked the
lock with one grip of my smalt pincers.
K y revolver 1 carried in the belt at my
waiat, or my bands were occupied with
■ soft cloth and a bottle of chloroform.
I had big felt slippers on my feet; and
went straight to his bed, where I let him
breathe the drug for a few momenta. I
lot at his keys and his jewels, and saw
what I wished. There, true enough, were
precious stones of all ralnes, Brasilian
liamonds. Cape stones tinged with yellow,
the finer class of Indian turquoise, pink
pearls, black pearls— all these
loosely
wrapped in tissue paper; but a magnifi­
cent parcel. I brought up at last a neck­
lace of opals an/ diamonds, and as I held
them to the lamp and examined the curi­
ous grouping of the stones, and the
strange eastern form of the danp, I knew
that I had seen the handle before. The
conviction was instantaneous, powerful,
convincing; yet even with my aptitnde for
recall.ng names, places and things, I could
B«t in my mind place these jewels. None
the less was 1 assured that the one solid
dne I had yet taken hold of was in my
keeping; and, as a quick glance round the
chamber told me no more, I pat ap the
»sables in their case again, replaced the
key and quitted the chamber.
“ I lay upon my bed and brought the
whole o f my recollection back upon the
jewels. Where had I seen them; in what
circumstances; in whose hands? Again
nnd again I traveled old ground, exhumed
buried cases, dwelt upon names of for­
gotten criminals, and of big world 'people.
A n hour’s intense mental concentration
•old me nothing, bat in my dreaming I
got what wakeful Dess had denied to me.
There in my sleep was the whole history
o f the stones written for me. I remem­
bered the Liverpool landing stage; the de­
parture of the Star liner City of St. Pe-

He had gone then, and had Lady Hardon’s

then that she went down in the great

the Bay of Biscay twelve months before
[ discovered the golden chip in the dock

known world-wide, that her famous jewels

on the sands of the bay? I left my hotel
and mounted to the hill top for tidings of

the dock which had held her was empty.
