Whether either of theoe four men possess any deflnlle Information con cerning the whereabouts of the missing gems Is not known, but the tone of th» Idlers was such as to Induce Mr. Ryan lo give them prompt nttentlon.

If necessary, and If I ever do lay my hands on Ihe thief I will certainly flx him. This Is a lilg loss to me, and I am going lo do my bent to solve Ihe mystery."
