As be bnd plunged straight for the telegraph office, he neither sow nor was seen by Mr. Jacob Renwyck wheu that gentleman, accompanied by two plain clothes men. got off the rear car of the same train, rushed across the platform. Jumped Into a waiting surrey, the only carriage tbat happened to meet that train, and drove rapidly away. Nor did be bear several people Inquire of the station agent for walk lug directions to Mr. Renwyck's place. First there was a well groomed, some what pompous, official looking Kngllsb man. with a red face and white side whiskers, evidently a man of author ity and Importance. Next there was a tall, blond you rut woman, with a ripping" figure, who expressed sur prise that no vehicle was there to meet her. And finally there were an excited old farmer, a bard featured man In plain clothes also wltb an official look and a fussy little representative of a motor company. If one could Judge by bis cap and general automobile rig. In despair of a carriage all of these walked slowlv tin the hill In the direc tion of ItcHtmore, although 111 the fuel flint at. It, tlw. .H i n m 41. nl.t.J that, save the furmer and the plain' clothes olflclul, each pursued Ms way alone, holding no communication with the others, was conclusive proof that their sliniiltnneous arrival and thelt common destination were merely coin cidences. Mr. Itenwyck and his com panions arrived long before the others. With the two detectives he went im mediately Into tbe library, where, he met bis wife and Mr. Corrtgaiu The safe was wide open, showing the tum bled contents Just as thoy bad been found when tbe Aoot Vvas unlocked two hours earl to- by 0ncle Michael. In utter silence the wo sleuths made sn examination, HJu beyond one tiny scratch hear ttie keyhole of the Inner door tfM safe showed no evidence of I having been tampered wltb. Besides Mr. ItenwycU, there wss no one elao who knew tl e combination except the old butler, who was confined to his bed wltb rh 'iimatlsni in a small vll luge several miles away and who was quite above xiiaptelon anyway. Clear ly, then, tlir thief bad in some way learned the combination or eloe bo was an experlenc -d cracksman. Uu hearing of the robliery the first thought tha; flashed luto Mr. Ilea wyck's mind was bis curious meeting In tbe library with his English guest at 3 o'clock In the morning, with the window open and the burglar alunn turned off. The prowler's explanation hud been quite simple. Mr. Itenwyck had honestly striven to persuade him self that It was entirely satisfactory, although he could not drive away a sneaking suspicion that everything was not Just right. In the light of present developments his mind recurred to this sUHplclou with added force. Then there was that draft which the earl had bo Inexplicably refused to sign after first offering to do ho, a small matter In itself, jet coupled with the strange noctui'jnl wanderings of a gentleman who wished to seek for a book at a quarter past 3 o'clock In the morning well, It troubled Mr. Rennyck not a little. All the nay to Irvlugtoii he had furred the matter over In his mind. et on meeting Lord t'royhiml on the front veranda he was forced to admit that the frank apix-nring young man looked us little like n burglar as blm self. Mr. Corrlgun was the llrst to give his evidence, lie explained about the tramp with a enst In his eye ami told how be had llrst observed the man on the train coming from New York, then bow the same man had come to Rest more begging. lie offered to bet his brother In law a thousand dollars to live hundred that the eoek eyed fellow was the loblH-r. but Mr. Renwyck cold ly declined to take the wager. Mr. t'onlgau described the ipear uiiee of the in:ii with enthusiastic ml nuteness, nt which the foremost of the detectiver smiled an oily smile. "Well, by Mil." he exclaimed In. h i Cllli-lv. "If 1 1) : T doesn't llll Jack Hlb!' then I'm n nitchnmn: If .lack's go! your shiners, Mr. Renwyck, you'd bet ter w liiMlo f- r 'em." 'Why':" as .cd Mr. Corrigaii.

"All right, sir," answered the de tective sergeant, whose name was Flint. "We'll take the servants first" Richard was crosing tbe hall In a vain search for Harriet when be chanced to overhear this last remark. Ills heart went down again. If Wool sey Bills were questioned It would mean far more than turning a guilty villain over to the authorities. lie, the master, would be forced to explain also, and, taken In conjunction wltb his own meeting with Mr. Renwyck Id the library, the outcome would be ghastly, to say the least. Yet he must act on the detective's suggestion at once. "Shall I send for my man?" he asked of Mr. Renwyck, who nt that moment came out luto the hull. "No." said bis lioHt; "we'll take my own aervunts flrt. James." he called to a sphiuxllke butler In the hall, "tell all the servants to come Into tbe libra ryall of them. Understand?"

He wolidered Idly If they would put handcuffs on him. but dismissed th thought In his determination to pay for the Btolen diamonds, Inasmuch as he felt reMnslble for Woolly Bills. When the time came he would confess like a man and take his medicine. He would tie denounced. It would be dramatic, like the play of the "Man and the Bird." only the name would be changed, it would now be tbe "Mau aud the Jailbird." How simple to bsve opened tbat library window, while Bills went out luto tbe tight, boarded a freight and deposited the plunder in New York: The Texnn was Innocent, of course, but would other peoplo thluk so? Vet she would. There was comfort In thut. If she believed In him, nothing else mattered very much. At this stnge of the proceedings there was quite a commotion on the front porch, due to the arrival of several visitors. Harriet aud lmogene went out and greeted Miss Sempton nerv ously, explaining the state of affairs briefly, while Mr. Itenwyck also came to the door. Impatient at the uulooked for Interruption. "Sir." questioned the pompous Eng lish gentleman, who had arrived a few minutes lifter the lighter footed young lady, "am I correct In assuming that that Is Mr. Jacob Itenwyck?" Mr. Itenwyck boned. "H'm! My card." went on the visitor. "I am, as you sec. Sir Rodney Ilick wlch. itrlllsli ambassador nt Washing ton.

"Mr. Itenwyck," he said, "I must apologise to you for this unfortunate interruption.
