"AN OUTSIDER"
(Continued from our last tssae.) i
Both bore mes-.iges laboriously
frrlnted tn pencil, of much the
■na tenor:
"Suggest you look Into Mise-
Itanwarlng's antecedents — aleo
Bar actions between 1 and S
o'clock last night."
"Ask Miss Manwarlng what she
eras doing cut ot bed after 1
O'clock last night—search of her
room might prove helpfhl."
Silently Sally returned the
darde.
I "You see," the detective apolo
gized heavily, "after that there
wasn't anything for it but to ask
you to explain."
"There Is nothing to explain;
the charge is preposterous."
"Yea, miss—that is, I hope so,
for your sake. Meantime, I guess
you won't mind my looking
around a bit, will you?"
"Looking round?"
"Your room, miss."
Sally gas|>ed. "You have the in
solence to suggest searching my
room?"
"Well, miss "
"I forbid rou positively to do
anything of the sort without Mrs,
Gosnold's permission."
"There!" Miss Pride Interpo
lated in accents of acid satisfac
tion. "If she has nothing lo fear,
why should she object?"
"You see, miss." Mason per
sisted, "I have Mrs. Hosuold's au
thority to make such Investiga
tions as 1 see fit."
She perceived that he was stub
bornlly bent on this outrageous
thing. As the detective tenta
tively approached her dressing
table the girl swunk a wicker
armchair about so that it faced a
corner of the room and threw her
self auirrilv into It, her back to
the four.
Immediately she heard drawers
opened and closed, sounds of rum
maging. She trembled violently
with impotent exasperation. It
waa Intolerable, yet It must be
endured. There was one satisfac
tion. They would find nothing,
and presently .Mrs Husnold would
reappear and their Insolence
would be properl. punished. Sho
could not believe that Mrs. Gos
nold would let It pass iinrebuked.
A low whlst'e interrupted at
once her reflections and the mute
activity of the March.
Immediately she heard the de
tective exclaim: "What's tills?"
Miss Pride uttered a shrill cry
of satisfaction.
Mrs. Standlsh said sharply:
"Aunt Abby's solitaire!"
Cnable longer to contain her
alarm and curiosity, Sully sprang
from her chair and confronted
four accusing countenances.
"What do you know about
this?" the detective demanded.
Clipped between the detective's
thumb and forefinger a huge dia
mond coruscated in the light of
the elect rics.
"Where did you find the
thing?" Sally demanded.
"Rolled up inside this putr of
stockings," Mason indicated the
limp, black silk affairs which be
had taken from a dresser drawer.
"Well, how about it?"
"I don't know anything aliout
It. I never saw It before."
The detective grinned incredu
lously and presently skirts rus-j
tied behind Sally's sullen back]
and feet shuffled. Then the door]
closed softly and she heard the 1
key rattle lc the lock.
She sat moveless, stunned,;
aghast.
Strangely, she did not ween:
hsr spirit was bruised beyond the
consolation of tears.
As to the Identity of the enemy |
who had done this thing, Sally en
tertained not a shadow of doubt.
Lyttleton had stolen the jewels: I
what else hud he carried so
stealthily down to the hsanh*
Wliet else had the signals me/ant
• 'but that they had been left there
In a prearranged plot? For what
else had the boat put in from the
yacht to tho beach.
And If not he, who had been
the thief whose Identity Mrs. Gos
nold was so anxious to conceal
that she bad invented her Billy
confession?
Tho man was a favorite of Mrs.
Ooeaold's; she had proved It too
often by open Indulgence of his
nonsense. He amused her. And
It seemed that in this milieu the
virtue of being amusing outweigh
ed all vices. Now, doubtless, the
truth of the matter would never
come out.
In panic terror, Sally envisag
ed tbe barred window of the spin-
t tar's prophecy. To this, then,
ad discontent with her lowly lot
ti life brought her, to the three
old of a felon's cell.
In a sudden seizure of passion
she fairly tore the frock from her
body, wrecking it beyond repair.
Then, calming somewhat by re
action from this transport, she
reflected that presently they
would be coming to drag her off
ts Jail, and she must be dressed
and ready.
Turning to her wardrobe, she
selected Its soberest garment—a
blue serge tailored suit —and don
aadthem.
This done she hegan to realize
that It was growing very late.
The guests of the fete had all de
parted. Looking from her win
dow, she saw the terrace and gar
dens cold and empty In the moon
light.
And, at this sight, temptation
to folly assailed her and the coun
sel of despell prevailed.
There wee none to prevent the
attempt—and tho drop from the
window sill to the turf was not
mora than 12 feet. She risked.
it was true, a spralfied ankle, but
she ran a chance of escaping.
Oa frantic impulse, Sally turn
ad off the light, sat down on the
window sill, swung her legs over.
and let herself down until she

upon the stlL

At this, his tone changed. He
understood what was haiiuening.
He came more nearly under and
planted himself with wide-spread
feet and outstretched arms.
"Yob can't bold on there any
longer," he insisted. "Let go. I'll
catch yon."
Only the mortification of that
prosi>ect nerved her aching fing-
ers to retain their grip M long
as they did —which, however, was
not overlong.
She felt herself slipping,remem
bered that she mustn't scream —
and, with a little shock, landed
squarely in the arms of Mr. Tre

He staggered to some extent,

young i>erson, but rec.ivered clev-1

Moil, that she was Ileitis; kissed.
He went about t ..at business,
having committed himself to it,
in a most businesslike fashion; be
kissed (as he would hue laid)
for keeps, kissed her lips hungrily
urdently and most thondy.
She was at first too stunned to
resist. And when at length sho
remembered and was ready to
struggle, he disappointedly Bet
her down apofl her feet.
"There!" he said with satisfac
tion "Now that's settled and a
good job, too!"
She turned on him furiously. !
"How dure you "
"IHdn't I ilcki'hh it, catching!
. you Hie way I did?" he asked.!
opening his eyes in mock wonder,

it for lieing so silly as to try anv-j
11thing like that?" lie jerked hi-j

i<ui earth possessed you—"
"Hon't you understand?" she
stormed. "I've been accused of

ly?"
"What an Infernal outrage!"
he cried Indlgnantl "No, I didn't
know it. How would I? I" he
tattered "I've been having troub

A third voice cut short her re
tort, a hail from above. "Hello,
down there!"
With a start Sally leaked tip.
Her window wan alight again, and
somebody was leaning lie.'d and
■honldera out.
"Hello, I say' Is that Hie Man-
Warlßg woman? Stop her; she's

of time to avoid disaster beneath
the wheels of a motor car that was
swinging inword at a recklcaa
pace.
Involuntarily she threw a fore
arm across her eyee to shield
them from tbe blinding glare of
the headlights. In sptte of this
she was recognized and heard
Mrs. Hiisiinld's startled voice cry
ing out; "Miss Man warring' Stop!
Stop, I say."
With grinding brakes the cur
lurched to a sudden halt.

Some-eittle time later there fil
ed Into the boudoir of the hostese
ni QesMM House a small but se
jlect troupe of strangely various
I tempers.
"So," said Mrs. Cosnold, taking
her place beside the desk. I've
i been kidnaped," she announced.
Murmurs of astonishment re
warded her. She smiled gtiiuly.
"Kidnaped,'' she reiterated with
a sort ol ferocious relish. "At my

There was no answer. Tile door

"It seems that Adele's notor-i

the Jewels v - - hrt?, and Walter
in New York. it would be In
sane for htm to coma here and
get them and then take them to
Boston. In this emergency Adele
went Walter one better la the
matter of stupidity. She took
Mr. Lyttleton Into her confidence
—and crowning blunder! took bis
advice. Mr. Lyttleton conceived
a magnificently romantic scheme.
Walter was to come to New Bod
ford, secretly hire a motor-boat,
and be off the harbor here at a
certain hour of night. Mr. Lyt
tleton was to leave tbe jewels iv
a designated spot at the foot of
the dii h». At an agreed signal be
tween the yacht and Adele's
chamber window, Walter was to
come in. at dead of night, and get
the jewels, return to the main
land, discharge his boat, go to
Boston, pawn the jewels, g«t the
money, and lie here in good time
the next day.
"Walter, notified of this ar
rangement by letter to New York,
fell In with it heart and soul. The
arrangement was actually car
ried out last night. And again
their luck turned against them.
It so happened that both Miss
Manwaring and Mr. Trego were
sleepless last night and observed
certain details of the conspiracy:
and, to make matters worse, it
was tlie very night chosen by the
thief lo steal my jewels.
"When that came out, they
were all in panic -Walter, Adele,
and Mr. Lyttleton. Miss Man
waring was the real stumbling
block. She knew far too much,
and had proved rather difficult to
manage. Among them they evolv
ed another brilliant scheme: Miss
Manwaring must be kidnaped and
hidden away in a safe, place until
tlie trouble had blown over.
"Waller undertook to manage
[the business, lie engaged a ras
cally chauffeur of his acqtriint
] d.nee and commandeered a clcsed
car from my garage. He then
induced Miss Man win ing to con
i sent to meet him in a conven
■ lastly secluded spot near . the
! gates. 1 overheard something,!
enough to load me to suspect
there was something wrong afoot,
i and therefore persuaded Miss
.Manwaring to lend me this cos
tume of hers and went to meet
Walter in her stead. Before I
guessed- what was up, a bag was
thrown over my bead, my hands
and feet were bound, and I was
; lifted into the body of the cur and
driven away at such speed that
j Walter, who found out his mis
take almost immediately, was un
jabia to overtake me before I ar-
I rived at tbe spot chosen for Miss
. Manwaring's prison—a deserted
I shooting lodge, on the south
shore.
"Meantime, when it was found
that I had been kidnaped instead
iof the girl, and while Walter was
in pursuit of me to make what
amends he could, Adele aud Mr.
Lyttleton lost their heads entire
ly. Mr. Lyttle (who, by the way, Is
leaving with Adelo and Walter in
the morning) on his own behalf
arranged to direct suspicion of the
robbery to Miss Manwaring, In
duced Mr. Mason to exceed my lo
structions and open the envelopes
tn my absence, and led Mr. Mason
to Miss Manwaring's room, where,
to his own stupendous surprise,
there was found bidden one of the
rings that had been stolen."
"What makes you think he was
so much surprised?" Mr. Trego
cut in, who had turned in his chair
to eye Mr. Lyttleton in a most un
pleasantly truculent fashion.
"Because he didn't know it was
there."
"But somebody must have made
the plant," Trego argued. "There's
no question, I take it, of Miss
Manwaring's innocence?"
"None whatever!" Mrs. Gros
nold affirmed.
"Then why not Lyttleton as
well as another?"
"That," Mrs. Grosnold said
slowly, Indeed reluctantly, "brings
me to the fact that no confession
has been made, as I had hoped It
might be. That Is to say, the
jewels have not been restored. I
am sorry. I have done all I could
to protect the thief."
"You know—"Trego Inquired.
"I saw the theft committed,"
said Mrs. Grosnold. "It waß done
not for gain, but for the sole
purpose of securing Miss Manwar
ing's discharge—•"
A short, sharp cry Interrupted
her, and In the momentary si
lence of astonishment that fol
lowed Mercedes Pride shut her
eyes, sighed gently, slipped from
her chair, and subsided to the
floor in a dead faint.
CHAPTER X.
Breaking Jail
Within five minutes Sally was
back behind the locked door of
her bedchamber.
She could never stay at Gos
nold House. It might seem un
grateful to Mrs. Gosnold; Sally
couldn't help that, though she
waa sincerely sorry.
By the time she had succeeded
in com|Mislng a note which seem
ed sufficiently grateful in tone to
excuse the pitiful inadequacy of
her excuse for absconding —- the
chill light of early dawn had ren
dered the electrics garish.
She addressed the envelope to
Mrs. Gosnold, and left it sticking
conspicuously In tlie frame of her
dressing mirror.
She let herself out of the room,
and by wav of that memorable
side door issued forth. Her way
to the village wharf was shortest
♦»>• the beach.
Her flight was financed by a
few dollars left over from her
bridge winnings of the first day
at Gosnold house, after subse-
quent losses had been paid. Their
sum no more than sufficed; but
for the clothes she wore, sho land
ed In New York even as she had
left It.
Avolding Park aye., she sought
the place that she called home by
way of Lexington.
The studio door was closed and
locked. The card had been torn
from the tacks thut held It to the
panel.
Puzzled and anxious, she stoop
ed and turned up a corner of the
worn fiber mat—and sighed with
relief to find the key in its tradi
tional hiding place.
But when she let herself In, It
was to a room tenanted solely by
seven howling devils of desolation.
Only the decrepit furniture re
mained: it had not been worth
carting or storage; every personal
belonging of the other two girls
had disappeared.
One or the other had left a
newspaper, now three days old,
propped up where she could not
fall to see It, on the antiquated
marble mantel-shelf. In separate
columns on the page folded outer
most, two items were encircle with
rings of crimson water-color.
Hue, under the caption "News
of Plays and Players," noted the
departure for an opening in At
lantis City of the musical comedy
company of whose chorus Mary
Warden was a member.
The other, In the column head
ed "Marriages," announced terse
ly the nuptials of Lucy Spode and
Samuel W. Meyerick. No details
were given.
Slowly Sally set about picking
up the threads of her life.
She sat a long hour, hands list
less in her tcp, staring vacantly
out at that well-hated vista of
grimy back yards, drearily review
ing the history of the last five
days. She felt as one who had
dreamed a dream and yet was not
sure thart she had waked.
It never entered her weary
head to imagine that tbe feet that
pounded heavily on the stairs were
those of anybody but the janitor;
she was wondering Idly If there
was rent due, and If she would
be turned out Into the streets that
very night, and thinking it did not
much matter, when the footfalls
stopped on the threshold of the
studio and she looked up Into
the face of Mr. Trego.
"Hello!" he said. "You certain
ly did give me tbe deuce of a
hunt. I wormed it out of Mrs.
Gosnold that you inhabited a stu
dio somewhere on this block, and
I suppose I must have climbed 40
times three flights of stairs in the
last hour."
She demanded In a low, tense
voice: "Why have you followed
me here?"
"Well," he protested, Mrs. Gos
nold sent me —and if she hadn't, I
would have come anyway. I told
you last night that I loved you. I
haven't changed since then. And
now that you're in a fix whether
or not of your own contriving—■
well it isn't my notion of letting
you pull out for yourself If you'll
let me help—and that goes, even
If you stick to It that you won't
marry Tne."
She tried to answer him. but
her traitorous voice broke, and
before she could master it he bad
resumed:
"Mrs. Gosnold wants you back
—sent me to say so—says she'll
come after you 4* I fall to bring
you."
"Oh, no!" she protested, trem
bling uncontrollably.
"You won't meet any of those
folks. They're all going today. It's
a new deal from a freeh deck, so
to speak."
"No," bhe averred more stead
ily. "You told me I was foolish;
you wese right. I'm through with
all thai.''
He came closer to her. "You
needn't be,' he said. "Don't damn
society just because you cot In
wrong at the first attempt. Try
again. Let me try with you. I've

ABB RUEF ADOPTS
NEW TRADE; HE'S
BROKER IN IDEAS
Abraham I!net
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March
t'<.—Abrahtun Ruef, former po
litical boss of San Francisco, now
on parole from San Quentln pris
on, has gone Into business again.
HE IS A BROKER IN IDEAS.
As keen and alert as in the old
days when political pie hunters
trembled at his word, Rnef has,
in a quiet way, shown his deter
mination to make good once
more by inventing a brand new
business. The marketing of his
own and other people's ideas will
from now on be his chief en
deavor.
"My commercial Ideas might
Involve, for Instance, the effic
ient utilization of vacant prop
erty, so as to make it a profita
ble asset Instead of an expensive
burden. They might involve the
successful financing of a busi
ness proposition for a man who
is overwhelmed with debt, or tlie
suggestion of a method of pub
licity to attract trade to a slug
gish business; perhaps they
might result in the promotion of
or less. If you want a villa at
Newport—"
"Oh, please, no! I tell you, I'm
finished with all that forever."'
"Well." he grinned fatuously,
"what about a flat in Harlem?"
A little smile broke through
her tears.
"Why must you go to such ex
tremes?" she laughed brokenly,
when there are nice apartments
to be had on Riverside drive?"
THE mo,
Fine story, eh?
But take it from a mem
ber of The Times staff
who has just finished
reading "The Maxwell
Mystery," that next
week"s novel, which will
start Monday on this
page, will be just as good,
if not a shade better.
And remember, if you
want to send a copy of
any of the four novels we
have published in this
series to some friend, that
the circulation manager
has a few bundles on hand
which he will sell for 10
cents each, or 12 cents if
he mails them for you. •
