Kelvin and Reedy rose Immediately tend came toward the window. just as they stepped out upon the veranda I heard Donald say to Amy In a plead- ing, disconsolate tone, "Do you really ;wish me to do this?" "Of course I do! Of course 1 dor! the girl replied, with energy. By this time I had clasped the hand of Kelvin, whose manner was as cour- teous and cordial as that a a dog who for fear of a whipping permits another dog to eat out of his dish. I had never before realized how complete was the domestic subjection in which my new neighbor dwelt. "Glad to see you, glad to see you," said he. "This is an opportunity that eve all ought to welcome. Seems to have been made by Providence ex- preesly for the purpose. Now, if I've misjudged young Mr. Donaldson, you'll find me eager to square the account, and of course there's no quarrel between you and me and never has been. You Understand that thoroughly, I trust. It gives me pleasure to welcome you to The Elms." "I am going to be very frank :with you, Mr. Kelvin," I said. "You did Donald a great injustice this morning, and that will be true whether he fails or succeeds in this present matter. It rives in the hope that you had recog- nized this fact that we accepted Mrs. Kelvin's invitation." I was glad to have found some rea- son to justify my own conduct to my- • self. ,As a matter of fact, I had been evondering all the way over how in the 'world we had happened to come. "I have recognized it," said Kelvin, turning red. "Yes, sir; I have. We'll let it stand -that way. Ah, Mr. Don- aldson! Exceedingly obliged to you for your kind offer to assist us in this trouble. We expect great things of you." • "I can't do it, Mr. Kelvin," said Don- ald in a tone of deep wretchedness. "I can't find the diamonds. I don't even know how to go to work to try. I'm as likely to find the north pole sticking up through the floor of your veranda. But Mrs. Kelvin insisted upon my cominge, "Mrs. Kelvin is a great insister. I'm mot at all surprised to See you,". said the old villain, with a grin. "Take your own time. Don't hurry." Upon this Mr. Reedy favored us with a brief review of bis endeavors. "There's only one thing in it," he •said in conclusion. "Where did she put the di'monds? That's the point. 'Where did she put 'em?" "The maid?" asked Donald in a 'dreamy tine. Mr. Reedy nodded three times. "I suppose she must have taken them, poor girl," said Donald, "if you may so." "The facts speak for themselves," said the detective. "They don't speak to me," said Don- ald, with a weary smile. "I can't hear a whisper." He sat down in a big chair and bur. led his face in his hands. At that mo- ment Mrs. Kelvin, who had been speak- ing with the butler in the hall, emerg- ed from the house with the usual Mit- , tering sound. "S-s-sh-sh!" whispered Mr. Kelvin. "He's going into a trance." Donald sprang to his feet, his face as red as a beet. I expected a warm protest from the young man, for the evord "trance" to him is as a Harvard banner to a bull, but he preserved his silelf control marvelously.

I tried (leveret remedies( advertised but they wore of no avail. As alert resott I tried 1)r. Wood's NOriVA1 Pine Syrup . and one bottle cured me oompletely." "Would you mind if I walked about a bit?" said he., "It's no earthly use, you know. May I go into the house?" He moved toward the door and thus came face to face with Martha leill, the suspected maid, who was just com- ing out. She was a worn, faded, pa- tient woman of fifty, not without intel- ligence and meant perhaps for a better station, yet now a creature of lifelong servitude. Her mouth bad a peculiar droop at the corners, so that she must have looked sad at all times. She had shed many tears that day, and her eyes were red; her nose, too, poor woman, and altogether she was a picture of woe. Donald kept his eyes upon her as she crossed the veranda toward her mis- tress. When she had taken her place behind the chair in which Mrs. Kelvin had sat down, she turned and looked at Donald. It was clear that she knew who he was and why he had come. "You were quite right, Mrs. Kelvin," said my boy. "Your maid is perfectly innocent." At these words Martha's feelings overcame her. She wailed distressful- ly. and fell upon her knees, not because she thought the act appropriate, but because she could not help it. Donald turned hastily toward the house and made three attempts to open the door. I describe his action as it appeared. There was an ordinary screen door, very easy to open, but he tried three times and failed. Tben he shook his head and walked across the veranda to the steps, returning imme- diately to the door, by which he stood for some seconds, hesitating. "The diamonds are not in the house," said he at last. "Tbat's easy," said Reedy. "I've been hunting for 'em since 11 o'clock." "It may be that that's why I feel that they're not there," returned Don- ald, as if gratified to receive this ex- planation. "You never can tell where these foolish notions come from. Have you searched outside the house?" "Outside the house' is a wide propo- eition," rejoined Reedy. "It includes 'most everywhere. But I've looked around a bit." Donald groaned. "I do hate this business so lies the old Harry!" he said. "But it's got to be done. Would you mind if I walk around the house? I disn't know what I'm doing it for, yet.I can't sit still." He ran down the steps of the veran- da, and we all followed him, 'as he raised no objection. In an absurd, straggling procession we made the cir- cuit of the great old mansion. "Well," said Reedy as we stood again before the main entrance, "did you see 'em anywhere?" Donald shivered in the heat of the summer day. "I've been mighty close to them," he said. "Let me try that once more." This time he led us less than half way around, and we came to a halt beside a pile of coal that had been dumped that day before an entrance to the cellar. Kelvin is a thrifty man. He buys coal not when he need p it, but when it is cheapest. The pile may have amounted to about three tons.. Donald regarded it steadily for some seconds and then walked hesitatingly toward the cellarway. "You've been down there, Mr. Reedy?" he queried, and then suddenly and with decision he said, "The diamonds are there!" He pointed directly toward the heap of coal. "There?" echoed Kelvin. "In that coal? Why, the stuff wasn't brought here till this forenoon. How do you suppose the diamonds could get into it?" Donald dashed the perspiration from his forehead with a gesture of de- spair. "I don't know a blessed thing about it, Mr, Kelvin," said he, "except that they're there." Kelvin seemed somewhat taken aback. Ile regarded it asperfectly obvious that the diamonds could not be hidden in the coal, which had not been delivered until after the arrival of De- tective Reedy. Why had Donald cons - witted himself to such a clear abeurd- ity? It looked like a trick, and Kelvin glaticed quickly at Reedy as if to read advice in his eyes. The detective ele- vated 'his eyebrows and his shoulders simultaneously and spread out his hands with the palms forward. It was equivalent to saying "I pass" in a game of cards. • The iron lips of our amiable host came together firmly and he settled himself upon his broad, fiat feet in the manner of an Orator who has reached' the great, convincing argument of his discourse. "Now, I call thin a clear cut issue," Said he. "We've get this thing tont- ized, so to speak. Either those dia- monde are here or they are not!" And his head came forward as he ut- tered the last Word with a decisive snap that would have endangered his beek if it hadn't been so, thick. Ile Was a man of ready executive ability, and the Way he went to work to insure a proper inspection of that heap of coal commanded my admiration.

Kelvin was too thrifty to put It anywhere except In the bin. It was a warm day, and the flying coal dust stuck like glue. Kelvin, whose bead was In every basket, grew blacker as the moments sped away. Perspiration rolled down from under his hat and striped his broad face gro• tesquely and in ever changing patterns. Occasionally, as If dissatisfied with Me War paint, he would obliterate the de- tign with a wild sweep of his band - kerchief, and a new mid fiercer decora- tion would take its place. I could have spent a most enjoyable hour but for my anxiety on nay boy's account. As the work progressed gloom settled darer peen Donald's face Chau coal dust upon Kelvin's. From time to time our host would glare at Don- ald like some black cannibal of the south seas, and my boy would respond with a glance of mournful resignation. At length there remained but very little coal scattered upon the ground. One of the grooms carefully swept it into a heap, Kelvin, who had been scrutinizing it, bending forward with his grimy hands upon the knees of his gray flannel trousers, slowly straight- ened up. "Well," said he in a voice thick with coal dust, "what do you say now?" He favored Donald with a grin that had a peculiar, striped appearance. Donald's hat was ou the ground, and he had rumpled his hair into a strange- ly tangled mass. He was biting his lips nervously. "It occurs to me, sir," said he, "that n diamond is pure carbon crystallized 1 and that coal is chemically the same substance in a slightly different form. It is possible that I may have been de- ceived by this coincidence, so"— Kelvin uttered a low, hoarse roar, and I think he would have followed it with some remark that might have in- terrupted the social harmony between our households, but at this moment De- tective Graves Reedy touched him on the arm. "It's all right," said he. "Don't move; don't say a word; just wait." Ile turned and ran, toward the house with surprising agility. He cleared the steps leading to a side entrance with a single bound and vanished frem our sight. We remained silent, huddling together like startled children and staring toward the house. It must have been less than a minute, yet it seemed much longer to us as,we stood there bewildered. Then there • came a sharp and loud sound which drew our eyes toward a window in the peak of a gable. Donald turned sud- denly and leaned heavily upon my shoulder, and I heard him groan. But before I could frame a question there came the voice of Reedy from the ga- ble window. "I've got him!" he cried, thrusting out his head. "Nobody hurt! He miss- ed me!" "That's Cobb's room," said Kelvin in a most peculiar voice. Really the old fellow was nearly strangled by his amazement, as he aft- erward confessed. He bad compre- hended the situation much more quick- • ly than I had been able to do, and he knew that Reedy had arrested Cobb, the butler, upon evidence which tho detective believed to be absolutely con: elusive. Indeed the pistol shot might be regarded as settling all question about the servant's guilt. We all began to talk at once, and no one had heard any remarks except his own when Reedy appeared at the door leading his prisoner, handcuffed. Cobb was a tall, dark man of a very peculiar build, having the longest body for his height that ever I saw on a human be- ing. Not only were his legs short, but his shoulders were abnormally high, so that, viewed from behind, with a rea- sonably long coat on, he seemed to be sunk in the ground up to his knees. I had marked him by the main en- trance when we arrived and later up-' on the outskirts of the group around the coal heap, later still upon the threshold of the door through which Reedy had pursued him. "I've bad my eye on this feller," said the detective "I seen him getting more and more worried as that coal got thinner on the ground, and finally I seen him make a break; then I knew where we stood.

Thousands of women are using PSY- CHINE, because they know from exper- ience that in it they have a safe friend and deliverer. Psychine is a wonderful tonic, purifying the blood, driving out disease germs, gives a ravenous appetite, aids digestion and assimilation of food, and is a positive and absolute euro for disease of throat, chest, lungs, stomach and other organs. It quickly builds up the entire system, making sick people well and weak people strong. handy to bury the things in. if hadn't done that, you might not have Vaiseed the diamonds for two or three days, But I suppose Mrs. Kelvin woe reminded of them by seeing that the box was gone. Why didn't 1 think of that? We're all fools!" ebrugged his high elsouldere. "1 won't ask you to let up ou me," he continued. "'Tain't any use, Take me away." The last words were addressed te Reedy. "Take Min into the house," said Kel- vin. "Keep an eye on Jahn, of course. I'll be with you later. And now," be added, turning toward Donald, "I want to say to you"— "Don't, Afr, Kelvin," rf aid my boy, with tears in his eyes;" please, don't. This is more painful to me than it can possibly be to you, I want to go home and lie down—and die." CHAPTER IX. ltysTxmr 0F TIM PRINCETON reoresson, RS. KELVIN insisted upon ordering the carriage to take us home, though it was not far enough to warrant the trouble. She overwhelmed Douald with expressions of gratitude and as- surances of her great and triumphant faith in his powers. Tho poor boy was dazed as if by some sudden and weighty sorrow. He repeated, "Thank you; thank you, Mrs. Kelvin," in the manner of one who receives condolences that are power- less to draw his mind away from his bereavement. While we were riding home he was unable to restrain his tears, and, being at tbe age when one is most ashamed of them, he knuckled his eyes diligently. The deacon and Dorothy were on the veranda as sve drove up, and Carl Alie•cnhteira.teLme out of the house a ma n - i "Uncle will tell you," said Donald, evading questions and questioners witb a nervous haste. "I've got to dress for dinner." He was half way up the stairs, as I judged by his speed, before any one could utter a word to restrain him. Thus deserted by the hero of the oc- casion, I told my story as briefly and clearly as 1 ould. Carl occasionally interrupted me with a question, but Dorothy and the deacon said nothing. Obviously they viewed the story in a different light. Before I had finished Donald thrust his bead between the wings of the screen door. "Mother," he called, "can I have my dinner served in my room? I don't feel very well." The tone in which the last words were uttered was intended to be con- vincing, but it made us all laugh. "Come out here, you big stupid," said Dorothy. "We won't talk about it." He advanced with hesitation and embarrassment Presently we sat down to dinner, which was served out of doors in the red rays of the sunset, and throughout the meal Dorothy made good her pledge, checking every reference to the adventure of the day. Late In the evening I had a word or two With Donaldson upon the subject. "Dorothy and I have tried to talk this matter over two or three time," said he, "but it results in mutual recrimina- tion, so we have tacitly agreed not to mention it again." "Recriminations?" I echoed. "She says Don inherits this from me," he replied, with a smile, "and I say that be inherits it from her. That's as far as the discussion ever goes. I don't know what she has said to Don. I haven't said anything. He'll stop of his own accord." I knew from old experience that any attempt to draw him out upon this sub- ject would be futile. Three minutes was the limit of time that his mind could be held upon it. So we passed to other matters, and I said that I was glad to have heard him sing with Doro- thy that evening, of late years he had sung so little. "My voice is getting old and worn out," he said. "I am past my singing days." I assured him with sincerity that their two voices bad never sounded sweeter than on that very evening. "Dorothy's is as fresh as a girre," he replied. "To my ear, certainly, it hasn't changed at all." "It seems to me that it has improved in the last two years," said I. "She has used it more," said he.

He touched his forehead, where the skin upon one side had been slightly blackened by the flame of the pistol. "Did you get the • diamonds?" ex- claimed Mrs. Kelvin, with a woman's instinctive appreciation of the really important issue. Reedy had a hand upon his prison- er's arm. "They're here, eh?" he asked. Cobb nodded. He was not looking at Reedy, but at Donald, and there was a strange mixture of superstitious terror and of hatred in his expression. "Burled 'em last night, I suppose; dishnt dare to skip; too shrewd te hide ,'em in the house when all or: lasers was open to you. Is that the ieta. "Yes," said Cobb sullenly. Iteedy drew the Man towarl the round black mark upon the ground where the coal had lain. "Get one of your peopie to dig here," read he, tapping with his foot. My own eyes could distinguish no sign that anything had been buried, 'mo carefully had Cobb done his work, but Reedy had had experienee in suelt mat- ters. In two minutes the burnt wood box had been exhumed, and the light of day flashed tipon the collar of dia- monds. "Now, eir.
