And by the time that Miss Estrilla -was conscious again of the sights and sounds of this, her terrible world, Ros alie'was gone from the room, and De flective Kennedy, police stenographer 'who had been listening at the open 'telltale register of the room below r was with the troup of inquisitors j about her bed.

Let me omit, as the expert police stenographer did, certain expletives' repetitions, divagations, which always mar testimony. Let me just glvo the , document, as it was filed away in th .archives of the New York police de .partment. ' "My name is Margarita Perez. I am thirty-five years old. and unmarried. 1 'was born in the Island of Trinidad, where. I lived all my life. Juan Perei Is. my half-brother, ten years younget than I. Our father was tho same, bu1 my mother was an Englishwoman, mj ;brot!ter's mother was Spanish. My fa tner was a cacao grower. He was verj rich once, but he lost much of his money. When he died, four years ago no left my brother the plantations, ana me a very small income and the family jewels they were worth twenty thou sand dollars of yoir money. My brother came Into his property when W ' i i r tie I SUNSET Be fflM twoMty-wfift HeTrntbage'dpOf j 1y; and then be had bad luok. Uy last ! summer, be was bo near failure that j tnre seemed to be only one way out ' for we to sell my Jewels and give him the money. 1 wanted to do that, but I be wouldn't let me make the sacrifice. Ho saw one more chance to save us. We had rich relatives In Caracas, on , the Venezuelan mainland. lie went there to see If they would help. He was gone three or four weeks. He sent j me only one letter; and It was so dls-1 couraglng that I felt sure there was no hope. i "Just before that letter arrived, and after Juan left for Caracas, Captain John H. Hanska came to Port of Spain from Antwerp. Though my father was Spanish, we lived in the English fash- j ion; I was .free to meet men. I met Captain Hanska and fell in lore with him. (Hero the police stenographer cut i corners. In this last phrase he con-1 - densed many divagations and evasions on the part of the witness; indeed, In- j spector Martin McGee, expert lnqulsl tor that he was, spent five minutes :n bringing out that simple declaration and the next.) "He said that he loved me. I be . ved him. It was all very quick. Within a week we were secretly en gaged. I supposed that he wa3 an American army officer on special duty. And after we were betrothed, I told i Mm about our troubles and my wish to ' help Juan. My mind wca made up by that time I would soil my jewels be- fore my brother returned to prevent me. I told this to Captain Hanska. He offered to help. He said that be must so to England the next week, and in England he could sell them to much better advantage than in Port of Spain. I agreed I trusted him absolutely, you see. Tnen no torn me mat ne coum dispose of them more easily, and for more money. If he appeared to bo the owner. So I made out and signed a bill of sale, describing In detail every piece to the last ring and pin, and transferring them absolutely to him. Now I know what a foolish thing I did. Fr, Out made the jewels his property 'u w " D"'C,J' " ""-"" "" - bouE" them from me. "The steamer on which he planned to sail for England he told me was due to leavePort of Spain on Wednes day morning. On Monday night he visited me and took away the Jewels. He said that he wanted to register them in advance with the purser. He promised to come again on Tuesday night He did not appear. I learned the next morning that he had left on Tuesday for New York. I started for the pier from which the Southampton steamer sails, in order to seo If there was any mistake, un tne way, l met a friend of the family who had been waiting to warn me. He had found out about Captain Hanska's career In Cara cas. He proved to me that the captain was an adventurer and almost a pro fessional gambler. Then I understood. I told no one about tho jewels until Juan came back; but I wrote a letter to Captain Hanska in care of the steamship company. Somehow, it reached him. He answered it with a cold letter, claiming the jewels abso lutely and stating that he bought them from me. "That arrived just after Juan came "back from Caracas. Juan had not succeeded In raising money. The plan tation went into bankruptcy. That is the matter with my eyes. They had always been troublesome. But now I gave them a real disease by weeping. (Here, as Miss Estrilla made her statement, she spoke broken phrases about another loss. The police ques tioned her minutely to discover what she meant Upon finding that she re ferred merely to the loss of a whole heart's love, they dismissed this part of her statement as immaterial, and did not enter it upon tho record.) !

Southern Pacific The Exposition Line 1915. 1 WHY FAMOUS PASTRY COOKS USE o.- The patrons of our fust class hotels and restaurants are exact ing they demand the best Women go where the pastry and cakes are noted for their excellence. Men are attracted by hot bread and biscuits when fresh and moist and light The pastry cook with a reputation uses K-C Baking Powder because he knows that results are certain; eyery time everything is as good as his best Then, too, with K C Baking Powder he ,can mix the various kinds of batter before the rush ot the meal begins and bake as needed so that every order goes to the table fresh and hot, yet the last ne bakes are just as good as tne hrst The reasons behind these reasons is that K C is really a blend of two baking powders. One commences to give off leavening gas as soon as moistened. The other requires both moisture and heat to make it active. Dough or batter will remain in a partially leavened condition ior hours, and when put in the oven, will come up as light as if mixed a moment before. For cookies, pancakes, doughnuts and the like, which cannot all be baked at once, K C is indispensa ble. For all baking thedoubleraise makes doubly certain. I lit C3 "1 told Juan, of course. He wasvery kind to me. He did not reproach me. But we could do nothing, he found, Captain Hanska had landed In New York the passenger lists showed that. It was certain that he had smuggled the jewels into the United States with out paying duty; and we confirmed that afterward. "We decided to go to the United States and see if we could get them back If not the jewels, at least the bill of sale because if thn diamonds were In our possession with the bill of sale destroyed, wo could prove by half the people in Port ot Spain that they were ours. We were safe in stealing them from him per fectly safe. For he would not dare complain to the New York police, since If he claimed them publicly, w could have him arrested for smug gling. "My Name Is Margaret Perez." "Juan thought that all out. We took what little money we had left and started for New York, telling our friends that we were going to setUe in New Orleans. Juan wrote to our uncles in Caracas and secured the New York agency for a small asphalt com pany of theirs. That was done to con ceal "our real reason for being here. On the voyage, my eyes gTew worse, I cried so much. I was very ill with them when I landed. "Juan and I' took rooms apart. We had learned enough about Captain Hanska to know where we might look for him. Juan traced him to Mrs. Moore's boarding bouse. It seemed certain that Captain Hanska had not sold the jewels yet, else he would not be living so cheaply. The first thing ' was to find where they were.

"Juan had discovered that tho back room on the top floor of Mrs. Moore's boarding house was vacant. Cartain Hanska lived below; there was no good reason for him ever to come up on that floor. I took the vacant room, calling myself Miss Estrilla, as you know. Juan' had been -watching Cap tain Hanska like a detective. He moved me In one day when the cap-: tain had gone to Staten island. My! presence in the house was safer than It may seem to you. I did not leave ' my rcom even for meals, since my , eyes were really in very bad condition, j Then, I wore dark glasses, an eye-1 shade and a heavy scarf about my) head I do not believe my own mother I would have known me. Captain Kan aka bad never seen Juan or his picture ' It Just happened that Uiere were no i photographs of him in our house at Port of Spain. I "Juan lived in an apartment hotel. Wo were in communication all the , time by telephone. He was careful to avoid the captain when he visited me. j It wa3 all dangerous, for at any time ' we might be discovered. But we had our plan I was to en'tor Captain Han ska's.rootn with a pass-key and search for the Jewels or the bill of sale. Whenever I made this search, Juan was to be following Captain Hanska. If tho captain showed signs of re turning, Juan was to call me up on the telephone the ringing of the bell in my room, which informed me from downstairs that I was wanted on the extension telephono by my door, was to be my warning signal. I could hear ! that bell from Captain Hanska's room. ' There could be no mistake, because , Juan was the only person in New York , who would be telephoning to me. ! "But when I tried Captain Hanska's door with my paes-key, I found that he had installed a new patent spring lock. The next time Juan called, he looked over the house. He found that you could enter Captain Hanska's room from the fire escape and that you could get on to the fire escape from the window of the lumber room across the hall from mine. That room was never locked. It was only a question of prying open the catch on Captain Hanska's window. One night about a! week before Captain Hanska died. I began the search. I went down the lire escape, carrying a pocket electric torch which Juan bad bought for me. I got the window catch, open with a: penknife It was old and loose. I went over the whole room that night and again on another night and found -t nothing. I did discover a little strong Kav In , ,M-A. ,. ..... It lay wide open. It had a curious' Notice hereby given by the un lock. In that, I was sure, he would dersigned tsecutor of the estate of put the Jewels If he ever wanted to Frank Joerger, deceased, to the credi move them. There was no sign of the tors su,d xo a11 Persons having claims bill of sale.

Without speak- Ing to Juan, I went down the fire es. cape at two o'clock in the morning of a night when Captain Hanska was at home, and looked through his pockets. I even examined all the papers in bis wallft by the light of tho electric torch. But it was not there. Juan,' when I told him, was angry with me for taking such a risk. He mado me promise never to enter the room again unless Captain Hanska was away. j And then we found that we must act. quickly, or lose our property for ever. ' Juan was watching Captain! Hanska, following hb movements very closely.

Juan was afraid that he would go straight back to the Jeweler and make the sale; and then our last hope would have been gone. Instead, Captain Hanska went to a cafe and sat alone a long time, drinking. When he left that place, he returned to Mrs. Moore's. And the shape of his pocket showed that he still carried the package.
