CHAPTER XX.—Continued.
It was perhaps ten o'clock when Jo
took a notion to tee the gallery. The
fioOon was quite sudden, too. She
even Interrupted John to gay go, apro-
pos of nothing. We met Hap on the
etairs as we went up. I remembered
afterward that be looked puisled and
was flashed a little. He shouted to
Burrows from the stalra.
"Who locked the card-room r
“No one. atr
"It’s locked; have it unlocked.
Where la ThomaaT"
“I don’t know} sir.”
There was more anger In the way
lid spoke to Burrows than such a sim-
ple thing warranted. He came up to
the gallery with ua. glaring at the
card-room door aa we passed.
"What’s the matter?” I asked. "Do
you want to play poker?"
“No. but I want the room unlocked.
It's not supposed to be locked.”
I We climbed upward In alienee.
"Well, you might quit looking like a
thundercloud,” I suggested presently
*1 haven't been horrid, have 1?"
1 He glanced up to where Jo and John
,/ Crownlnshleld were disappearing Into
the gallery, and apropos of nothing
fee seised my hand and pressed It to
fcla lips.
Inside the picture gallery waa
Thomas, the footman about whom
Hap had asked Burrows. When Jo
•nd John Crownlnshleld entered they
found him standing In front of the
Velasques, staring at It oddly. He
should have been below, of course.
Upon our entrance he turned and
■talked out Hap looked after him
with a pucker of perplexity In his
forehead.
Jo waa surprised at the alae of the
gallery. Just as 1 had been She hadn't
expected It Bbe walked the length
of the room, then turned back.
"Are all these pictures originals ?’’
•be asked.
"No,” John answered her. "A few
•re copies, hut valuable copies.”
“Let's see If I can pick the copies,"
•he, suggested, and walked the length
of the gallery again.
Hap and I dropped down on a
{bench, but John followed her.
i “That one.” said Jo presently.
"Oh, that** easy, Jo." I cried. ’The
original Is In the National Gallery,
•nd you knew it.”
! "And this!”
“No. that's a Greuze," John ex-
plained.
I "Sorry," smiled Jo. ’'Greuse made
1*0 many heads, didn't be? la the Lely
next to It genuine?”
"Tee"
"Is that a Velasques, or a copy?"
Map aaked her, and Indicated the dis-
puted picture before which we were
Alttlng.
j “I don’t know," Jo replied. "I'd aay

{looked at It a long time—"copy!"
| "it's disputed," John told her "Five
experts say It Isn’t, twelve say It Is.
Ifred—Mr. Hasard—believed It was
•n original and bought IL"
} The old geeser used to frighten
jme when I was a kid.” Hap remarked,
"hut he doesn't seem so flstce now.
His eyee always looked so—well,
clean through, you know—baleful, a
novelist would say. I'd call them wa-
itery, now." He regarded the "old
goeser" smilingly. “Pleasant looking
euMMser, last he?"
"I'd hate to meet him op • dark
alley." John laughed.
“That's a copy, Isn’t It?” aaked Jo,
and pointed to a picture on the oppo-
site wall.
“No, a real Van Dyka," John re-
plied.
“I’ll quit gueaalng!” Jo exclaimed,
but she crossed the room and stood
for a long time before the Van Dyke.
“Aren’t you afraid to leava all these
beautiful pictures here In the coun-
try?" she asked finally, coming back
where we were.
‘They are Insured," Hap answered.
“Against Ore. or theft?”
“Fire. No one wants to steal them.
No one haa an opportunity. I'd like
to tee a thief get away with that big
fellow. Jenkins sits on the steps all
winter with a gun.”
“Are they protected now?”
“Well, not with a gun. There's no
need when we are here.”
Hap tried the card-room door aa wa
descended; It gave to bis touch and
swung open. He switched on the
lights and looked about The ..room
was quite In order. I couldn't see
any cause for the pucker between his
eyes. He lighted a cigarette and
smoked it thoughtfully aa we descend-
ed the stalra. He smoked where he
pleased; he had learned to put the
ashes In his pocket. Occasionally he
would remove his cigarette from hla
Upa, regard the lighted end iirtently,
then smile, or frown, and smoke again.
I watched the performance, highly
amused.
“A clue. Monsieur Lecoq?” I whis-
pered.
“I'm a fool.” he replied. "Pn let-
ting my Imagination run away with
me.*'
“I can prove an alibi this time,” I
pursued flippantly. “I haven’t been
in the card-room for • month.’
“Please don't, dear,” he said quick-
ly.
He wae quite aerioua about It A
silly lump got Into my throat My
feelings were always near the surface
when he waa aerioua. I glanced up
and met that look In hla eyes I waa
never going to be able to take care
of.
“Who locked the door. Burrows ?*’
he aaked, when we reached the lower
hall.
“It wasn't locked, air."
“You are quite eure. Burrows?”
“Quite sure, sir."
“What was Thomas doing In the
picture gallery?”
“I didn’t know he. waa there, air.
“How long haa he been here. Bur-
rows T'
“81nce we came to the country, air.'
Whatever else Hap Intended to aay
was not said. There was a commo-
tion in the drawing-room, a scurrying
of feet and the overturning of a chair.
Natalie had tainted.
Borne one, Mrs. Hlgglneon I believe
It was, was shrieking excitedly to get
her Into the open air, but Jo reached
her first, stretched her on the floor,
flopped her over, and deftly and quick-
ly unhooked her dress SSe gave Nar

leased them. Hardly a minute later
Natalie, with her bead on Jo‘a knee,
opened har eyes. Bbe was a bit be-
wildered and confused, but all right
Jo aent for a wrap to cover Na-
talie’s somewhat dlaarranged toilet,
and when aba had quite recovered
John Crownlnshleld and Benny Bliss
assisted her upstalra.
"I wonder If she lost anything that
time?" Jo said to me when we were
alone.
1 stared at her, startled.
"Then you think—?”
"I think If she did the thief Is a
woman, aa Mr. Hasard thinks,” Jo re-
plied calmly. "The men got out when
I started to undress hsr."
"It almost looked as If you did It
purpossly."
“I did. Wbsn I saw bar fall I
thought of what you told me of her
fainting at the reception In town. I
acted more quickly than I thought I
tried to remember who waa near
har-^“
The Midnight Watch.
I knocked upon Natalte'a door; Mln-
ette opened It instead of finding, Na-
talie In bed, aa I expected, ehe waa
alttlng near an open window, surpris-
ingly rosy.
“Can I do anything for you?" I In-
quired.
“Nothing, thanks, nnleas you’ll stay
and talk to me," she replied, rather
cordially. "I feel quite well and
cheerful, and I can't account for faint-
ing. Won’t you alt down? It's sweet
of you to come, dear.”
I looked after Minette's retreating
figure.
"I came to ask you a question—an
Impertinent question,” I said frankly,
for It waa that, and I bated to be
hypocritical about It. "But I'd Uke to
stay with you If you really care to
have me. I hope you'll think I'm ln-
tereeted and not curious. Did you
miss any of your Jewels when—when
you fainted?"
"No?"
I can’t say that I was surprised;
know I felt absurdly relieved.
"I’m awfully glad. It looked so very
much Uke—once before, that I waa
afraid you had.”
"You have no cause for worry. You
were not even there, my dear."
"Oh, no!” I exolaimed. "I waa not
thinking of myself.”
“I’m going to tell you something,”
she said suddenly, "something I had
decided to keep to myself. It’s true I
did not mlse anything when I fainted,
but I was not wearing all my Jewels.
Tonight I yielded to an Impulse In
wearing them. I had what the poker
players call a hunch. I waa sure if I
left them here they would he taken.
But there were too many, they looked
absurd, and at the last moment I re-
moved six bracelet*, a pendant and a
rope of pearla.” She arose and croaa-
ed to her dressing-table. "I've been
keeping everything locked since the
ruby waa lost. Every day I have put
the Jewel box In a different place. To-
night, when I decided to leave some
of the Jewels behind, I put them In the
box, yielded to another Impulse, and
slipped the box under the pillow on
my bed, where it never had been be-
fore. I didn't lets anything when I
fainted, but the Jewel box la empty 1”
She opened 1L
Poor Natalie!
"But you must tell It,” I urged when
I had sufficiently recovered from the
shock of It "It's too Important not
to. Everybody here la In danger un-
less—” I did not go on, but Involun-
tarily I glanced at the door w.,*re
Mlnette had gone out
“I will not suspect Mlnette,” she
said firmly, noticing the action. “She
was with my mother when I waa born,
and she doesn't steal. There are
thousand ways to prove her inno-
cent"
I knew that In the same thought I
suspected her, and I remembered
Laura’s argument that Mlnette waa
not at the reception In town, or the
Abercrombies'. Also that at the very
minute the ruby was stolen Mlnette
was giving Natalie a massage. Mln-
ette distinctly waa Innocent.
"No, I shall not tell It," Natalie pur-
sued, "not yet, anyhow, It’a too ab-
surd. And I shall rely upon your dis-
cretion, my dear. Wbtn we see what
happens to Mr. Abbott, then—”
I cr"-. to my feet with an exclama-
tion.
"You believe Mr. Abbott guilty!"
T refuse to believe anything,’’ she
replied coolly.
"I beg your pardon,” I said, "hut
thought you once told me you were
sure Mr. Abbott was not a thief.”
"That waa before I knew about the
emerald bracelet. My dear, I can’t
reasonably believe he's Innocent now
There Isn’t another emerald' bracelet
like that In the world. Detectives
found It In Mr. Abbott’s possession,
be doesn't dsny It; hs can't.”
"But they didn’t find the ruby, and
whatever It waa you lost at the Aber-
combles,' ” I protested.
“A sapphire and a diamond brace-
let,” ahe sighed.
"And before that? He’s shielding
some one,” I burst out. "I know it;
fsel sure of It"
"Who?”
I shook my head. Every time
tiled to conjecture I brought up
against a blank wall
"Mr. Crownlnshleld will surely
make him tell—will find a way,” I de-
clared. "Thafa what a lawyer la for,
Anyhow, be didn’t hava anything to
do with the ruby.” I clung to that
tenaciously. “He was at home. Laura
telephoned, and he answered.”
"I don't want to think of It any
mors,” Natalie drawled. “I don’t un-
derstand It and I'm not trying to. I’m
not going to sleep tonight If I can
help It. I shall alt bare all night with
the light on. my remaining trinkets In
my Up. grasped firmly—so! In the
morning I shall go to town and lock
them In a safety deposit; then I'm go-
ing to Europe, unlesa I have to stay
here about the trial. When the de-
tective comes tomorrow he can look
aftsr everything else. He won't have
to bother about me.”
“I'll sit up with you," I told her.
went toward the door. "I’ll be back
presently when my sister la Asleep,
and we can amuse ourselves with
double dummy. I don't mind alttlng
up."
"You haven’t such a thing as a re-
volver?" she asked.
"Jo has," I replied. “She carries
one In the car, but I wouldn't pull the
trigger for an empire. I'll bring It,
though, If you want it.”
“Bring It," ahe said.
I didn't tell Jo the whole truth. I
said Natalie didn’t lose anything wh«u
she fainted, and the didn't. Whan Jo
waa aaleep I went bask to Natalie and
took the revolver. We played double
dummy with the wicked little weapon
on the table, and talked about avery-
thing except thieves, until two o'clock.
Nothing happened. A little slloe of
the dying moon hung In the west, but
It cast only a pallid light outside. I
couldn’t keep from yawning. Both Na-
talie and I were growing atupld. Fin-
ally ahe suggested that 1 get some
sleep, and she would read. Bbe wasn't
afraid with tbs revolver, for she said
she could shoot and shoot straight, but
perhapa ahe, too, would go to bed.
The scare petered out aa the morn-
ing advanced; our night vigil began
to look a bit wild and absurd.
I yawned goodnight and went. I
think I was asleep before I touched
the bed. 1 dreamed, and the dreams
were not pleasant. I saw Wlnthrop,
hla arms covered with emerald brace-

I knew one thing, that I waa golnfl
back to my room Instantly and let the
noise In the gallery take care of lb
self.
When I moved, my foot came la
oontact With something. Again iny ab-
surd fright until I had assured my*
aelf that whatever U waa It was not
going to harm me. I stooped and
picked It up. It was soft—a cloth
bag. A thought come like a lightning
flash: A bag—with jawelsl I clutched
It to my breast and Jerked at the door.
When I turned In the direction of the
wing I felt, I knew, some one again
was In the hall. I couldn’t find the
stairs to the wing! Whoever was there
near me moved!
In that Instant the blase of nn elec-
tric light was flashed straight Into my
eyes.
"Miss Codman!” I heard In a tone
of utter surprise; I had no recollec-
tion of ever having heard the voice
before. ,
I screamed, and turning, rushed
blindly In the direction, as I thought,
of the wing. My feet touched—apace!
I plunged forward headlong and went
down, down, down Into darkness.

where Wlnthrop was walking np and
down, up and down, dragging hla
clanking chains.
1 awoke. Everything waa quite still.
I listened; I heard nothing. After
deciding I wouldn't get up, I did. The
doors were securely locked, I knew,
but I tried them each In tnrn. Jo
was aleeptng soundly. I went Into the
sitting-room and looked out. There
waa the faint light of early dawn, juat
enough to distinguish the dim outline
of trees. After a while I became con-
scious of the fact that some one waa
moving below. I strained my eyes to
see. my heart beating wildly. Then 1
knew It waa—Wlnthrop! He moved
across the lawn. I saw him atop,
ralao hla arm and rub the hack of his.
head. I couldn't be mistaken In that
gesture. I think he turned back once,
then the dim outline of hla figure re-
treated. and waa lost In the direction
of the beach..
While I stood there wondering, my
brain in a muddle of conjecture, atar-
lng after Wlnthrop, something else
moved on the lawn below! I looked,
straining my eyes through ths pale
dawn. A man, yes; that much waa
obvious. Vaguely the figure seemed
familiar, and suddenly It came to m
Thomas, the footman! But not the
rigid, liveried servant now; a quick-
moving, alert, crouching, creeping
Thomas. He darted across the lawn
and vanished In the direction Wln-
throp had gone.
I was getting back Into bad, too be-
wildered for connected thought, when
I heard a sharp, quick noise like the
falling of a hammer or some heavy
object on the floor. The sound seem-
ed to come from overhead. There
wee no one overhead, unless some one
was In ths gallery! I bad no busi-
ness Investigating, but I did. A sud-
den thought pushed forward In my
now wide-awake mind that Jo had
acted strangely about the gallery.
I unlocked my door carefully. Na
talle's light was out. No doubt she
had decided to go to sleep. I stood
there beside my door for perhaps two
mtnutss. perhaps ten—It seemed to be
a century—end finally my waiting was
rewarded. The sound came again Juat
overhead, but this time muffled, and I
waa sure I Y sard fooUteps. It never
once occurred to me that I was go-
ing Into Jznger when I went toward
the stRfT leading from tha wing to
the $-jr above. I wanted to knew
who Was In the gallery at that time
of the night—or morning.
I reached the top of the stepa, reel-
ing my way carefully. The corridors
were quite dark, for the shades ware
drawn, keeping out what little light
there was, but I knew the steps to
the gallery were Juat to my right. Be-
fore I turned to ascend that second
flight I felt there was some one near
me. I put out my hand, but drew It
hack quickly. I had not touched any.

fright must have made me lose my

CHAPTER XXII.
Ths Bag of Loot.
When I regained consciousness.
John was putting me on the couch In
my sitting-room, and there was a
Jumble of faces before me—Jo, and
L&’ira, and Mrs. Hasard, all badly
frlghteaea*<tijutchtnf at unfaatened
dressing-gowns^. Natalie was therm
too. but I did not to. her at first.
‘Tm afraid she’s ba&.> -ftjrt,’
waa saying. "Did Doctor Graham an-
swer, Hap?"
Hap was crushing my hand within
both of his, hurting me, but I didn't
want to aay so. Everything was ter-
ribly confusing. My right shoulder
was hurt; the doctor said afterward I
must have struck the wall aa I plunged,
down the steps Into the wing, and that
saved ms, perhapa, from breaking my'
neck. It was latar I discovered that
my right arm waa broken, when I re-
membered the bag I had picked up and!
couldn't feel It
"The Jewels!" I cried.
“Jewels!” everybody repeated In
one tone—a tone of surprise.
“I had them when I fell," I said. "A
bag of Jewels.”
Hap groaned. I'm aure he thought
t waa out of my head, and after a
great deal of fuss he managed to get
drink of brandy down my throat—
what he didn’t spill down my neck.
But John went out and came back
presently with the bag. It was a dark
green cloth bag Uke lawyers carry
their—whatever they do carry In them.
And thrown Into It Uke so many po
tatoes, waa about the moet beautiful
collection of jewels I bars ever seen.
There waa a silk stocking—Lydia'*—
containing more jewels; and Mrs.
Hlgglnson's hot-water bottle.
