The Missing
Jewels
By MARVIN ST. JOHNS
Copyright, 1922, Wootern Newnpapor Union.
“Which (iocs Mae like best?"
“Two evenings in the week, Rufus
Podge, Saturday evening and Sunday,
Worth Bartley.”
“And the rest of the time?”
“Well, I think young Bartley Is the
favorite. He should be—a line, man
ly fellow, ambitious, earnest and hand
some. Not that Podge la In any way
bad. Some time ago, however, he
won a prize In a foreign lottery."
“How much?"
“One thousand dollars. He has
salted It away in bank, all right, but
he boasts of It constantly; brags of
his luck and, mark me, with the spec
ulatlve fever latent In Ids veins, will
some duy lose it Just us easily as he
got it.”
Thus two members of the sodal cir
cle In which pretty Mae Winston was
the belle and Bartley and Podgi
worthy and popular members. They
were a theme of a gtssl many discus
sions, but all that was completely
overshadowed the day succeeding to
that upon which the foregoing con
versation took place. The parties to
the same met again.
“What do you think of the latest?"
“The diamond robbery up at the
Beches?”
"Yes. They say the burglars got
a box of Jewels worth $20,000.”
"Whew! That's some value.”
“Here’s a printed description and
reward offered—so,ooo for the recov
ery of the gems- double that for the
additional conviction of the thieves."
"It almost tempts a fellow to play
the detective.”
Then two evenings later a new ex
citement set the village all agog. Hart
ley had been found wounded and In
sensible In a waste piece of ground
about a mile from the village.
Meantime, Rufus had come Into a
new experience. , He called at the
Winston noine one day and sought a
private Interview.
"I've got something very confiden
tial to tell you, Mr. Winston,” he said.
“I’ve got a chance to make $4,000,”
went on Rufus, rather excitedly.
“It's a pretty line plum for a start,"
encouraged Winston.
"I’ve got a chance to get (he stolen
diamonds.”
"Hey I” stared the farmer.
“Yes. Now tills Is u secret. You
sec, It's only ut a stage of_ negotia
tions, so far. A stranger came to me,
one of the thieves, 1 am sure, lie
warned me to act with caution. 11c
said that the stolen Jewels hud been
so widely advertised by description
that the thieves were afraid to offer
them for sale. He has agreed to turn
them over to me and have me verify
; them through the printed description
I for SI,(XK>. 1 think it's u good specu
lation, don’t you?”
II “It’s hobnobbing with thieves,” sug
r,gested the wily farmer.
Rufus drew his thousand dollars out
' of the bank. lie was to meet the sup
posed thief four days later. Worth
, K . was up and about,
hi no When he came to put on his clothes
Worth discovered his possessions all
rlfeht except In one particular—a
sifiall locket that had been attached
to his watch chain, was missing. It
hnrl contained a picture of Mae.
.'{file haze began to clear away In his
mind. Dimly, at first, then more
strongly memory begun to develop the
H jip||U|U of circumstances, obscured until
he whs struck down. He
, w’t'M out into the warm sunshine,
\yntktng slowly, bent on reaching the
Sp6t Where he had been assaulted. Half
the -distance was covered when his face
"-'iWthrencd and his pulses stirred
‘'"deefily ns he saw coming towards him
- - (tut WMnan he loved.
.UhiMae. was overjoyed to see him eon
yalcscing, and told him so.
J?pitillio first time she learned from
his lips the story Ids recent ntis

fcjjet they, had now reached he hud

Worth Investigated, ho observed a man
; Jqkv .from the hollow of a dead tree
By .opened It with a chuckle.
"jl ilon'jt fenow what possessed me,”
he told his fair companion, "but some
thpinrtse!ihkde me seize the box. I ran.
U'hcsre were wild shouts, and the first,
