SIR NORMAN GREVES, formerly ot
Scotland Yard, is devotkig nis
time to tracking down an arch
criminal known to him as
MICHAEL. SAYERS.
JANET SOAI.E. maid In Sayers’ cot
tage, shoots down a police officer
who tracks Michael to his abode
Sayers is known as Mr. Stanfield,
but Sir Norman becomes suspicious
as to his real identity. After a
three-months’ vacation. Greyes
meets Stanfield in a hotel lobbv Sir
Norman has an interview with a
South American widow, staying at
the same hotel, regarding a policy
of a hundred thousand pounds car
ried on her wonderful rope of
pearls. When being interviewed,
the widow sends the pearls to the
hotel safe by her maid, who is
rubbed and beaten unconscious.
NOW GO ON WITH STORY
Sir A’ormnn Continues
"It Is herd to keep anything out of
the press, nowadays." I reminded
him, “but so far as I am concerned
you may rely upon mv discretion.”
* • •
THE few days that followed were
filled with hysterical and irritat
ing appeals, complaints and In
quiries from Mrs. De Mendoza her
self, the insurance company and the
management. No efforts on our part
could keep the affair out of the news
papers, and the disappearance of the
necklace became tht universal sub
ject of conversation.
On the sixth day after the robbery
1 felt that a brief escape was neces
sary. 1 proposed to Mr. Stanfield
whom I met in the hall of the hotel,
shat we go down to Woking and have
a round of golf, an arrangement to
which he agreed with avidity. We
lunched at the clubhouse, and as on
previous occasions, we played a care
fuj and hard-fought game. It was
on the eighteenth tee-when one of
those unexplained moments of in
spiration came to me which serve as
the landmarks of life. We had
spoken of that grim tragedy which
had interrupted our first game. 1
thought of poor Ladbrooke lying
there with a bullet-hole in his fore
head, the maid, Janet, serene and
secretive, with the strange eyes and
the unruffled manner. The memory
of these things came back to me as 1
stood there and It seemed as though
my faculties were suddenly prompt
ed by a new vigor and a new insight.
Supposing it had been the maid
who had killed the prying stranger!
What was her motive? Whom was
she tryjng to shield? Could it be her
master! And if her master's name
was ndt Stanfield, might it not be
Pugsley? The two men were of the
same height and build, and the one
thing which Rlrnmfngton had always
insisted upon was Pugsley's genius
for disguise. The pieces of my
puzzle tell together like magic. and
with them the puzzle of the necklace.
I turned back to the tee. and 1 was
suddenly conscious of my compan
ion's intense gaze.
“Your honor," he said tersely.
1 topped my drive miserably. Mv
companion's drive went sailing down
the course, and he halved the match
in a perfectly played four. We
walked’togteher to the clubhouse.
"A whisky and soda?" 1 suggested
"I'll my shoes first,” he
answered, turning toward the dress
Ing roojn.
I drabk mv whisky and soda, ex
changed greetings with a few ac
quaintafices and paid my bill. Then
1 went to look for Stanfield. I might
have scared myself the trouble. He
and the taxi had alike disappeared. I
had tb wait while they telephoned for
another, and 1 traveled up to London
alone.
» • •
THE’ game was played out in
quite the grand fashion. On my
arrive; at the hotel. I found the
representative of the insurance com
puny waiting to see me. and 1 was
told that Mrs. De Mendoza was in
her roorri. Accompanied by the
manager, we made our way thither

1 think that she was well prepared
> for what was coming, or rather one
’ part of It. She received ua a little
1 impatiently.
”1 have been waiting to hear from
your firm al! day," she said, ad
• dressing Delchester. "My jewelers,
who valued the pearls, and my legal
. adviser, have helped to make out my
claim. 1 am anxious to know when
' 1 may expect your check.”
"I am thankful to say, madam,
that that will not be necessary,” the
manager announced, siepping for
ward. "Here is your necklace."
He handed it to her. She stared
' at it like a woman transfixed There
1 were no signs of joy In her face. She
seemed, indeed, for the moment
stricken with consternation.
"When was it found?” she de
manded breathlessly.
"About four o'clock on the morn
ing after the theft,” 1 told her.
"But where?"
"If you will come with me," I re
plied. "I will show you.”
I led the way down the corridor to
the exact spot where Annette had
been attacked, and opened the door

of the nearest room. I saw Mrs. De
Mendoza start when she saw the
heavy bolt which had been fitted to
the communicating door.
“I came to the conclusion,” I ex
plained, “that the theft was com
mitted by some one hiding in one of
these three rooms, and to the fur
ther conclusion that jhe necklace
had been hidden on the spot.”
"How did you guess that?” she in
quired.
“Because the thief made a slight
blunder,’ I answered. “For a single
moment, as I stood by Annette’s
side in the darkness outside, 1 saw a
light flash out through the transom
of this room. 1 must admit, how
ever,” I went on, “that it took me
four hours to find the necklace.”
"Where was It, then?" she asked
curiously.
« » •
j TURNED up the rug. Tn one of
the planks of the wooden floor
was a knot. I took a little cork
screw gimlet from my pocket, bored
into it and drew it out. Then 1 made
Delchester push his finger through.
There was a# hook fastened, in the
under side of the floor.
"The necklace was hanging there,”
I told him. “1 imagine it would
have been found later by some one
making a point of occupying this
room. As a matter of fact, 1 believe,
it was booked for the first week in
June."
"By whom?" Mrs. De Mendoza de
manded.
"By Mr. Stanfield,” I replied. “He
is paying a return visit in June, and
he appears to prefer this room to the
one he is occupying at present.”

"We are very much obliged to you.
i Sir Norman," he declared. "Our In
! s trance, as you know, expired at
rnif-day today. I need not say that it
will not be renewed. 1 wish you all
good afternoon.”
He took his leave. The manager
appealed to me.
“Sir Norman," he said, "there is a
great deal in this matter which it is
hard to understand. I hope that you
will not consider it a ase for the
police?”
I turned to Mrs. D: Mendoza.
“Do you wish to prozecute?” 1
asked. "There Is a certain amount
of circumstantial evidence which
might be collected.”
"Against whom?”
"Against the gentleman whom we
have known r.s Mr. Stanfield.” '
She laughed scornfully.
“That -vtnny little man who sits
about in t..e lounge? I would as
soon bell-—e that you yourself were
the thief, Sir Norman! I have my
necklace back, and that is all 1 care
about,” .-he concluded.
rjTHE manager departed, very
I much relieved. Mrs De Mendoza
beckoned me to follow her to
her suite. Arrived In her sitting
room, she closed the door. She had
rather the look of a tigress as she
turned and faced me. Never was a
woman born, of more splendid cour
age.
"And t-e epilogue?” she asked.
"1 fear ‘ 1 replied, "that the epi
logue must be postponed. It was •
only today, on Woking Golt Links,
that a certa'n little scene of eighteen
months ago became reconstructed in
my mind. I saw a mot.veless crime
explained. 1 realized by whose band
that bullet might have found its wav
into Ladbrooke’s brain, and for
whose sake."
"Yet you let him go!" she cried.
"I must admit that he has scored
a trick," I said slowly, “but you
must remember, or perhaps you have
yet to find out. that . he world where
such a tnan can live, is a very small
place.”
“And what about me?” she asked*
"From the moment when I hoard
that you had gone out with him
alone, I could foresee what was com
Ing. Yet. 1 was not afraid I waited
for you.”
I looked at the neckh.ee and
shrugged.
"It is hard to leave a hundred
thousand pounds.” I pointed out.
"and so far as you realized, the game
was not up. Not a soul tn this hotel
except myself knew that the neck
lace had been recovered. Yet vou
had courage to remain and see the
thing through. J admit that."
She came a little nearer to me.
The green lights in her eyes were
soft. I felt the attraction of her as
she meant me to.
"Where I love," she said. "I have
courage, and my love has everv
quality which the devil ever dis
tilled, except constancy. Are you
afraid of me. Sir Norman, because 1
killed a man who—"
“A confession," 1 muttered.
She laughed.
"No witnesses." she reminded me
"After all. it was von who onoe said
that murder was the easiest ot
crimes. What you know and what
I know will never tnke me. to the
dock. Would you put me there if
you could, my enemy?”
I drew a little away Her br-a’h
was almost upon my cheek; her lips
had taken to themselves the curve of
invitation.
“1 would put you there without a
moment's hesitation." I retorted.
"You killed a man in cold blood io

She laughed scornfully.
"You speak in»lgnorance." she de

went on, “until you can drag me io

She held out her left fingers. I

One paramount tendency of this
age, 1 tnink, has been to make its
youth truthful. Things arc done now
I in the open. •
If a boy wants to nay atte ition to
: a girl he does so and tells his pai
lents. Candor, if ..encouraged, open
| the door for correction.
Do not gain impre cion that 1
'am tolerantly inert. Such is not so.
I merely look with a mother’s eye
I into tire motives that actuate youth
Those motives are not bad.
A little advice, much education
and more love will assure the moral
integrity of oar children. These
must come from the parents.
TOMORROW: What does cigaret
smoking by girls mean?
