CHAPTER AFv. — “The Jewels Are Mine.” To this day Pre never quite recovered from the astonishment and chagrin When on waking up in the Dooming I reviewed the case freshed mind and realized,-With what -ease De Ravenol had imprisoned both Mrs. Delario and me In our own homes and had us quaking in our boots in fear of our very lives I ' Monsieur had managed Mrs. Delario even better than he had me—he had merely left a detective in heF boude I to watch her by day and iddk hei up by night In fact, she’d actually invited the detective in proof of het innocenee; for when monsieur had accused her of stealing jewels she saw •tn her mind’s eye—just as I did—trinkets, jewelry; and the idea that be : was referring to seven unset diamonds caged in her slipper never entered her •head. I “You have accused me of a shocking crime—a crime that offends every principle of decency as wen as morals,” she told him with spirit, “and I now insist that you convince yourself of my Innocence before yon leave the house. Here is the key to my bedroom—here is the passkey to all the other rooms. Have your man watph me ( while you examine everything—pvery-, thing—and then you must get a; woman to search me.” ) I This unsolicited action, her Apt denial and his finding the dipper where she’d carelessly dropped it in her wardrobe threw the scent on me. to two 'hours monsieur convinced himsdf that She did not have the diamonds and knew nothing about them, and lie then requested her—as the proof of her noncomplicity—to let him’lock her In her room and send for me 1 Aad she didn’t dare to refuse I I And there you have, simple as simple could be, the whole of IL I had her side of the story when I saw her Sunday morplng as monsieur’s messenger. But I had enough of the story before I went to her 10 feel pretty well chagrined; yet sad,'too, as I thought of the disappointment I had In. store for her when I told her that Emperor William owned her “find” and how the diamonds came to be In her slipper. I confess Ididn’t like very much the way she’d lied to me about tbeuncle abroad who had left them to her. Still—it was an understandable lie; since Ae*d found the.diamonds and didn’t know who owned them she felt they belonged to hep ; as mdch aa ts they’d been left her Ina will. I MM, Delario admitted gave a gasp when she saw who it was,, and whirled me into the seance room and locked the door on us before we tidal wave had swept from under roe and left me not even hanging W tan coconut tree but sitting atm to peaeefid security. It was she who get us down from the high peaks to the tarsia where conversation can go afoot without tailing oft, by asking, “And how are you—after it aUF to which t re plied, “But>how are you—after it ABT and we both laughed. < Her laugh died away Into an indignant frown. “You never heard anythlng like it,” she cried. ’Be came here with a detective—aud it wasn’t five minutes after you got out of the house, Monday—and accused me—me!—of stealing Claire’s bracelets!" "Bracelets?” I echoed. j “Yes—me.” ... I said “Oh.” slowly. I hadn’t expected she’d grind the word jewels quite oaflna ■ J ' ‘fDid you evet bear anything quite so outrageous?” .eke rushed on. '<Wo come here and say I robbed his child of jewelry 1 t don’t believe she had any jewelrys was all a trumped-up story to get something out of me; bat 1 was so and aba poured out the Whole tale. “Well, it’s all over,” she concluded. “Ildidn’t care how muto utoMteur searched—l knew I hadn’t robbed Claire, and I knew that 4 W_«» I you bad niy diamonds they Were safe.

EXISTING ECONOMIC STRUCTURE OF COUNTRY MAY BE DISTURBED. . Washington, D. C.—Jan. 30.—Intocations at widespread unrest among the farmers of the country, so threatening as likely to disturb the existing economic structure, is revested in 40,000 repties to a questionnaire sent out by the postoffice department The replies were summarized in a report prepared by Ogorge L. Wood, superintendent of, the division of rural mails, read to the senate postoffice committee today by James L Blakeslee, fourth assistant postmastergeneraL The views of the 40,000 or more farmers were obtained by the broadcastihg of 200,000 eqpie sos a questionnaire throughout the agricultural states asking for suggestions might aid in cutting down the cost of living. The answers show the major complaints of the farmers in nuroeri--esd <wder to '- - - s — j JiMihfltey to tabor to • work the farms,-hired help and the farmers’ ehiidren having '< been lured to the otto by Mgher 'wages and easier HvingHigh profits taken by middlemen for the handling of food S»k of proper agencies of centact between the fanner and the ultimate consumer. ~ Many of the replies, probably as many as 50 per cent, indicate that the writers contemplate either leaving their farms or clurtailing acreage under cultivation because of one or more of the three major grievances and because of the growing feeling against nonproduemg city dwellers. . Commenting taqjght qn the retoies, Assistant Postmaster General Btakslee said: :“Such a condition at a time when .this predominant cry is for more -production, cannot but constitute a grave menace.” » (Before the senate committee he cdmracterized the situation a« qqieting and portentous of disastrous consequences.”- TMs opinion was expressed by Mr. Makeslee 18: ‘lExeerpts from n nssnber .of -tetters, taken at random from the .more than 4&,000 on QJe, showed toe trend of thought among at least a ; considerable proportion ot \ the farmers of New j2ngtaad, toe middle western states, Georgia, mad the eastern agricultural section. ■“The time io very nearj’t wrote a farmer at Erot Chatham, N.
