firm and even insistent, still he bad

a fine deference toward this old

Kelvin's face with that peculiar, gentle,
searching look that I love so well.
When he turns it upon me, it warms
my heart, for I know that he is seeing
strniglit into its innermost chamber.
Yet there are some who cannot bear
this look, not dishonest, scheming people
who might well be expected to
shrink from it, but thoso who are

"Don't try any of your tricks with
me," he said. "I don't wnnt my fortune

Donald started slightly, and a faintly
perceptible shudder passed over him.
It seemed to communicate itself to me
and to Kelvin, who paled and then
flushed.
"You're a humbug!" he cried oui
roughly, ashamed of his momentarj
superstitious alarm. "You're an oper
humbug. Anybody can see througt

seemed to be very much dissatlsfiei
with himself.

little Uollo. 'You are seeking to In

That's the way it sounds to mysel:

"I am too well satisfied with Mr. K<

It was irapcnfrle to behind to
the fact that she rfljtrded this appeal
to Donald as a graAapd glorious vindication
of him anA|d|ae expected

by thlB time hkd tunk to such a
level of dejection vnat not even the
sight of the fair queen of his youthful
fancy could move him in the least. In
fact, he seemed to be. so miserable that
he could not look her in the face.
Mrs. Kelvin viewed his state with
Harm, for her hope was really fixed
upon him. She had more than her
share of that peculiarly feminine trust
in the supernatural which makes women
the easy prey of all dealers in
mystery, and, besides, her confidence
was re-enforced by the wifely habit of
cxrmfc ruuicany with Mr. Kelvin.
I could see clearly that she would be

For my own part, 1 had not felt bo

led to expose before the eyes of my
fellow citizens of Tunbrldge ray aged
shanks attired In golf breeches and
hose, and that's a sad day for on old
man whom all the little boys and girls
have been taught to respect The memory
of It flitted across my mind as I
stood there on Kelvin's veranda. The
lord of The Elms was visible within
the bouse, where he sat near a long
window in earnest conversation with
my old friend Graves Reedy. 1 was
somewhat surprised at Kelvin's choice
of a detective. It might suggest a purpose
to get two values for his money
by "pumping" Reedy In regard to the
affair of the robbery at the factory and
Donald's prediction of It
Kelvin and Reedy rose immediately
and came toward the window. Just as
they stepped out upon the veranda 1
heard Donald' say to Amy in a pleaT"Do

the girl replied, with*

of Kelvin, whose manner was as couf>
teous and cordial as that of 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
we all ought to welcome. Seems to
have been made bv Providence expressly
for the u. y ,jt. Now, if I've
misjudged younl^jn'- Donaldson, yod*ll
find me eager to square the account,
and of course there's no quarrel between
yon 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
was In the hoDe that vou had recosc
nixed this fnct that we accepted Mrs.
Kelvin's invitation."
I was glad to have found some reason
to Justify my own conduct to myself.
As a matter of fact, I had been
wondering 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. Donaldson!
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 Donald
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
r coming."
? "Mrs. Kelvin is a great insister. I'm
not at all surprised to see you," said
i the old villain, with a grin. "Take
! your own time. Don't hirry."
Upon this Mr. Reedy favored us with
a brief review of his endeavors.
"There's only one thing in it," he
I said in conclusion. "Where did she
put the di'monds? That's the point.
. W*)ere did she put 'em?"
'The maid?" asked Donald in a
. dreamy tone.
Mr. Reedy nodded three times.
"f aiinnnaa aKa mtiaf hauo fair ATI

say so."
"The facts speak for themselves,**
? said the detective.
I "They don't speak to me," said Donald,
with a weary smile. "1 can't hear
y a whisper."

his face in bis bands. At that moil

as red as a beet, t expected a warm
protest from the young man, for the
word "trance" to him Is as a Harvard
banner to a bull, but he preserved his
self control marvelously.
"Would you mind If 1 walked about
a bitV" 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 Hill,
nit? suspecteo maid. who was just cornIns
out. She was n worn, faded, patient
woman of fifty, not without Intelligence
and meant perhaps for a better
station, yet now a creature of lifelong
sirvltude. Iler mouth had 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
woo.
Douald kept his eyes upon her as she
crossed the veranda toward her mistress.
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 walled distressfully
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. 1 describe his action as it
appeared. There was an ordinary

diately to the door, by which he stood
for some seconds, hesitating.
"The diamonds are not in the house,"
said he at last.
"That'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 Donald,
as if gratified to receive this explanation.
"You never can tell where^
these foolish notions come from. Have"
you senrched outside the house?"
" 'Outside the house' is a wide proposition,"
rejoined Reedy. "It includes
'most everywhere. But I've looked
around a bit."
Donald groaned.
"I do bate this business so like the
old Harry!" he said. "But it's got to
be done. Would you mind if I walk
around the house? I don't know what
I'm doing It for, yet I can't sit still."
He ran down the steps of the veranda,
and we all followed him, as he
raised ( .o objection. In an absurd,
straggling procession we made the circuit
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
t?41ie cellar. JKelvin is a thrifty man.
He buys coal ri&t wb? needs 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?"
be 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 despair.
"I don't know a blessed thing about
It, -Mr. Kelvin," said he, "except that
they're there."
Kelvin seemed somewhat taken
aback. Ho regarded it as perfectly
obvious that the diamonds could not be
hidden in the coal, which bad not been
delivered until after the arrival of Detective
Reedy. Why had Donald com
mitted himself to such a clear.absurd
lty? It looked like a trick, and Kelvin
glanced quickly nt Reedy as if to real
advice in his eyes. The detective ele
vated his eyebrows and bis shoulder)

Four sturdy grooms . were selected
for the task, and they were subjected
to a scrutiny that would have sufficed
for a count of cash in the United States
treasury, yet they were driven at good
speed, so that the coal vanished rapidly
Into the cellar. 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*

like some black cannibal of the

with a glance of mournful resignation.
At length there remained bdl 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
