I don't care if Mrs. Slashlin Goesby has lost her diamond necklace! She hasn't consulted us. She is no client of ours." "True, true—sadly true," agreed my partner, sitting down on the edge of the table and pushing his hat back with an excited gesture. "Neverthe- less, my dear Harley, you mustn't for- get that the pleasant side line or diver- sion, avocation, or whatever you call it, of this particular law firm iS to do a bit of amateur detective work, espe- cially when there's a reward of real money out." "Real money, Jack?" I pricked up my ears. "Five thousand dollars reward," re- turned my partner crisply. I whistled. "I'd like to get hold of that, Jack." "Same here. Want to try for it?" "Where shall we begin? What do you know about it?" "Only what it says in the paper here, but I've drawn my own conclusions." I picked up the newspaper. "I'll read it over carefully, and we can com- pare notes," I suggested, and Jack nod- ded assent and lighted his pipe. At last I threw aside the sheet. "Fire ahead," I said. "In the first place, Mrs. Goesby de- clares that she removed the rope of diamonds from her neck and laid it en her dressing table. She passed into her boudoir for an instant, and when she returned the rope had disappeared. It was 2 o'clock in the morning. She had just returned from a function of some sort and had ordered that her maid need not be in attendance. She was practically alone. Her husband was in Washington. She neither beard Phone 54. P O.

"Well, I'm blessed!" Rogers stared at me and then clashed for the tele- phone. 1 heard him call Mrs. Goesby's num- ber and hold a conversation with a servant at the other end. When he hung up the receiver all the satisfac- tion had disappeared from his face, leaving perplexity and doubt. "No chimney there; house is steam !meted. The' Goesbys don't like fire- places, and that room is not conuected with any chimney. Now, what?" "Where did the maid sleep?" I asked suddenly. "On the fourth floor, in a room di- rectly over that of her mistress," said Rogers, with a puzzled glance at me. "1 wonder if we could gain .admit- tance to the house?" "I think so. Wellington will give ate a letter of introduction to Mrs. Goes- by." "Come on; let's get about earning that five thousand," I said, closing my desk and reaching for my hat. "Oh, let's burry!" scored my partner. "Let's get it before luncheon, lea?" "Conte along!" Jack came eagerly. We got the nee- essary letter from Wellington and made our way uptown to the splendid mansion owned by the millionaire Slashiln Goesby. We were admitted to the house and 'received by a potn- putts butler, who eflnally led us upstairs into the presence of hiss, Goesby her- self, She was A `fair, plutnp woman of gra- cious presence and made no secret of her nneiety about the famous rope of diamonds. "ate, maid lit above Suspicion," she repeated several tinges Aa we question. ed her in our capacity of private de- tectives, "Site is French?" i netted, "Yes; she has been with nae for five years and is most reliable," "Where is she .now?" "Xu the house somewhere --perhaps In her own room, She was much upset by the robbery as well as by the police command that no. one leave the house." "That is a, detective in the lower hell?" "Yes, He came a knit hour ago. 1 have felt easier sitace he has been on 11irs. Goesby showed us the dressing table whereon she had laid the rope of diamonds which had so mysteriously disappeared during the few minutes she was absent from the room. We looked the room over carefully without result. There was no chimney. rat hole or mode of escape for man or beast of any shape or size. It was a charming room, this dressiug room of fashionable beauty—the walls paper. ed with trellised roses that rambled over the ceiling and almost appeared to hang in clusters over our bends. The ceiling attracted me strangely. When I stood on a chair and poked my cane at a spot over the dressing table a look of intelligence came into Rogers' expressionless face. "What are you doing?" half laughed Mrs. Goesby. Then she added, "Flow 'very odd!" It was curious, odd, absurd, any- thing you care to call. it, for my cane had poked right through one of those lovely pink roses on the ceiling, and there flopped down to the carpet the cut out rose itself and left up there an ugly little bole through ceiling, plaster and lath. "I guess we'll find a loose board up there in the room of your maid," sug-' gested Rogers. "As well as a. long, slender stick with a hook on one end," I added briskly, for I could see that $5,000 re- ward in the distance, and it looked good to me. "Oh, do you believe that that is the way it happened?" cried Isirs. Goesby, quite unnerved by the discovery we had made. "1 cannot believe that 'e - lice would do anything of that sort." "If you will accompany me up- stairs," I suggested, leaving my part- ner in the dressing room on guard. We found the door of the maid's room wide open and the bird flown, by what underground route we never found out. I pulled up theg rugs from the floor and searched until I found the loose board in her closet. When 1 pried it up I could look right down on to the dressing table, from which the dia• mond necklace had disappeared. "How is this for a fishing pole?" 1 asked after a search of the room, and I brought forth two strips of bamboo. perhaps six feet each in length. Once they had formed part of a bamboo porch screen. On the end of one strip there was fastened a piece of wire firmly twisted into a strong hoot;. When one pole was fitted into the oth- er and thrust down the hole we were enabled to fish up almost anything from the dressing table below. Now that the method of robbery had been solved, it remained to catch the clever maid. who bad disappeared with the diamonds. A search of the house resulted in nothing. No one had seen her since the belated break• fast hour. We obtained her desrrip• tion from Mrs. Goesby, and, having that lady's assurance that our discov- eries iscoveries should remain a secret for the time being, we went on our way re• joicing, large visions of the $5,000 .re• ward dazzling our eyes. "If you were a I+ repch .maid and had attached yourself to a fortune in din monds what would yon do?" I asked Rogers the next morning. "I'd make tracks for the French line pier!" he exclaimed, and 1 was with him instantly. So we were soon whirling clown Houston street to the French. line pier. Passengers were straggling aboard. and for several hours we watched there, finding no one who came within a mile of the description MrA. Goesby had given us'ot her maid Felice. " Two black garbed nuns hastened past us, and Rogers' grip on my arty brought me to instant attention. One of the nuns fitted the deserip• tion of Felice. We could not see her hair because of the stiffly starched linen. The .other woman was stout and commonplace looking. but somehow they did not have the serene expres• sion of the sweet sisters of the church. The small, dark one, like her corm panion, wore a heavy rosary of large. Black, irregular beads. It swung front her Whist and swung in and out of the thick folds of her skirts. 1 caught all this at a glance as they passed, and we followed them aboard. I was almost ashamed of my sucpl• cions, but Rogers was whisperrpg in my ear. "The short one—notice her rosary i Looks like black wooden beads or jet. eh? - Caught a glimpse of a sparkle that would dazzle your eyes." "What is it. Jack?" 1 breathed. "T(te diamond' rope pttinteu bistrk. What do you think of that? ,cost step ashore and call an officer.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN OF THE 400 WHO Hoe LUXURIANT .HAIR, In gay New York, where women get ideas from their foreign sistere, the Bair tonic called PARISIAN Sage at 50 cents is its great demand. PARISIAN Sage is the discovery of a well known scientist, and he claims most emphatically that it is the only hair preparation that will kill the per- sistent dandruff germs, At any rate The R. T. Booth. Co,, Ltd., of Fort Erie, Ont., Canadian manufacturers of PARISIAN Sage, give out through J. W, McKibben, druggist, this guarantee, the strongest ever given. "We guarantee PARISIAN Sage to end dandruff in two weeks ; to stop falling hair ; to make dull, lifeless and colorless hair beautiful and luxuriant, to cure all itching disease of the scalp, or money back." Love Dislikes His Old Neighbors. Mr. W. H. Wright, legal counsel for Henry Love, the man who lies in the death •cell of the Owen Sound gaol awaiting the 27th day of May, when he is sentenced to be banged, will institute proceedings to have the death sentence commuted to one of life , imprisonment. Mr, Wright ex- pects to take the matter to the Min- ister of -Justice. Just how hopeful Mr. Wright is of the success of his mission it is of course impossible to say. He will at least exhaust all the means at his command for the attain- ment of' the end. The attitude of the prisoner himself continues to be a puzzle. He eats well and sleeps fairly well, and to outward appearances is not very apprehensive of the fate that may be his. Tie even goes so far as to discuss the banging with the guards, and talks it over in the coolest and most dispassionate manner imaginable. The nearer the day comes the more incomprehensible becomes his attitude. Guilty or not, he exhibits a nerve that leads one to doubt bis entire sanity. Nevertheless, he can talk as rationally and as common sense as the guards. His exhibition of iron nerve is some- thing that will never be forgotten by anyone who has anything to do with the evidence that was given against him by his old. neighbors. He harbors a feeling of destination for them ac- cording to his statements and does not mince words in speaking of them. —[Markdale Standard, MINISTER PRAISES ZAM=BUK Tells How It Cured His Wife's Bad Sore. When Everything Else Had Failed Rev. Henry J. Munton, of Black- falds, Alta., writes: "My wife had a very bad sore foot, wich it seemed im- possible to get anything to heal. The sore would heal to a certain point and then fester again, and so on. I pro- cured a box of Zam-Buk, and after per- severing with this herbal balm for some time the Bore was completely healed. "We were so grateful for this cure and Zam-Buk acted so differently to any other of the numerous remedies we had tried that I thought you,ought to know of t.bis case. I have since recommended Zam-Buk to several of my parishioners, and it always gives satisfaction," Another instance in which Zam-Buk proved of unequaled value is told by M, N. L. Gerry, of Brandon, Man. He says : "I had my left foot tun over by a wagon loaded with Wheat. the foot was very badly crushed, and nay little toe and the next toe were laid open. I applied Zam-Buk, and only bad to mis s work for two days. Zatn-Buk healed the wounds() quickly that on the third day I was able to put on my boot and walk to my work. In a very short time my toes were quite healed, and the foot is now as sound as ever, thanks to Zam-Buk, Just as good for chronic sores, ulcers, piles, blood poison, burns, scalds, eruptions, eczema, and all skin injuries and diseases. 20e box at all drue-reists and stores, or Zam-Buk Oo„_, Toronto.
