At a quarter past Bine In the morning Jim sat at a olid wooden table and turned over the leave of a fat pile of newspa pers. He had asked lor the die of Wht Dally Surprise, because It oould be trusted to leave nothing out Evory available detail of the assault r-a Mr. Van Berg and the theft of the Van Berg emeralds would cer tainly be found In Its columns. Jim turned the pages. Ha waant holts sura when K had happened. Nesta had been rather vague, per bapa purposely . . . Ah!

Ths vtllagv of Parkham, twenty ttllea from Islington, has been the scene of a most amatlng crime. Elmer K.

"And when did you miss the emeralds?" "I wasn't thinking about ths emeralds I was thinking about my hueband I" "But you must bava missed them some time." "Yea when the police earns snd began to aak questions." "And wsa anything missing bs sldea the emerslda?" "There was nothing slee there nothing elee of value. My. other Jewela were up In my room. I was going to wear ths emeralds that week, so my husband had got them out of the bank. He always kept them In his own safs when I was going, to wear' them, beoauss they were so valuable." "Then It looks as If ths thief waa acquainted with his habits?" "Yes, It does."

He had the odd feeling that he knew Elmer Van Berg, and that what he knew of him made It dim cult to believe that he would have engaged In talk at that hour with any chance-come atranger. And It hs knew Elmer Van Berg, and If U waa he who had talked to him In that library at midnight then there waa no question of Its being a stranger. And he did know Elmer Van Berg. He knew the way the straight Iron-grey thatch, of hair atood np above hla forehead, the way the shrewd, pleasant eyei looked out under the Iron-grey brows. Ha had only to shut his eyes to aee these things, and the hand and the scar, and ths emerald chain dangling from It under the light All of a sudden his templea were wet It was true! He had gat and talked to a man as a friend and shot him downl It aa a lie. He wiped hla forehead. K It was a lie, why oould he ae that hand with the scar, and the emerald hanging from it?
