I declined tho offer of refreshment (which would havo been partaken of. I felt convinced, in the servants' hall) took a snack at Grantham Station, ami caught the noxt train back to town. Hy this time I had mentally resolved that thoso local police should havo the honor and glory of hunting down the pseudo-butler which that fool had engaged. and recovering the stolen articles. If Mrs. Warrington Stout's jewols did not blaze this soason In Covcnt Garden Opera House, so much the hol ter. Which was a man's view, of courso. and wholly unprofessional II. I went the following evening to ono of the best-known of the London nin sit jy fascinating. A humorous seriet was first shown. and then appeared on the screen the title of the next: Arrival of the Scotch Express at King's Cross." The time and date of the taking of the picture were shown the time ho declared, by no possiblitv could he be waiting on King'o Cross platform at 7:1'. that mi rning. My interest in the Melville Court burglary giew at ono extraordinarily protOlKld Tie train was soon to draw in, car-riiiL'-doors to !) tlung open and passengers to aliglu Hut Warnngioii Stout was for ne the centre of interest. Although he hid par. tally turnel round, an.l 1 now had only n view of hlb tide face. I ci. ild see that he was intently watchin-r all tho panseng-rs by the train. Then he took a tej forward, apparently having rocognized some one. A seer :id later he and a clean shaven voting man in a bowler hat were standing face to face, in the latter' hind was something wranued ia brown nat.er anparen ly an oblong box; he was carr.iu nothing !.-e. Stout looked at the parcel, r.oddel approvingly, and c'.api .-d the joung man on the hulier. Then he huiried him awav to the cahrank lining the platio;rn. hulled a hansom, gave directions to the driver, and both stei i ed inside. The picture fa led 'Good heavens' " I exclaimed aloud, and the people on either side of me edged away from an apparent lunatic. The detective fe.-r tairly raged in my veins. The man whom Warrington Stout had met at King's Cr ss was. I felt con v I in . d. the missing butler, the description exactly tallied. And the box he was carrying, at which Stout glanced with such approval, contained, without a shadow of a doubt, tho missing Jewels. "A Naval Review' began to be shown on the bioscope, but for me tho performance was over. I rose from my seat and left the theatre. I had all the pieces of a strange puzzle in my hands; they only required putting together. It was perfectly clear that Warrington Stout was a party to the theft and a receiver of his own Jewels. My valuable assistance had been sought to elucidate a bogus burglar. Faugh! I went straight to my humble flat and looked up an "A. IJ. C." The train that reached King's Cross at 7:10 a. in. stopped at Grantham nt ö : 0G a. m. u Mrs. stout s story was correct, and tho burglnry took place at daybreak say. between 4 and 4:30 the pseudo - butler could easily have reached Grantham Station and caught this train. That point established, I Ut my pipe and considered others. Whnt was Warrington Stout's object In making away with his wife's Jewels? Assuming for tho moment her innocenco in the matter, I nskod mysolf tho reason of this queer plot that he had hatched. Was ho Jealous of those Jo weis? A shame, let it be said Iobb on her personality than on the ornaments with which sho crowns hor person. Was this man envious of that fame? Had thoso glittering Jowcls usurped the lovo and care that, he felt, ought to havo been showered upon him? Did he fancy that tho wearing of baubles worth thousands of pounds was blighting nnd destroying the soul of the wenrer, and had ho chosen this extraordinary method of putting them in a place of security probably some bank? And was my summons to Melville Court sorely n rather device to appease and delude further his (wife?

I summed up my lmprosslons of Warrington Stout. No, he was neither ; a sentimentalist nor a moralist. My llrst shot must be vide of the mark. More whiffs of my pipe. AU. 1 had ' It!

The Wiirriagton Stouts were in financial difficulties, and found tliemsolves under the painful necessity of raising money. To plan a rtctltlou burglary was really a most picturesque way of accounting for the absence of valuables that you hnvo taken yourself, or employed a deputy to take, 1 to the sign of the throe ball. You get ready inouey in hand and a splenj did advertisement for yourself in tho bar snip. j I rose early next morning, and by 7 o'clock was at King's Cross arrival I platform. The chances were about even that that sune hansom cub driver met the 7:10 on most mornI ings of the week, and I fancied that, I brief aa was his appearance bofore tho ' bioscope. I could inaunge to pick him i out. For one thing, he was wearing j a top hat and in these dnys of strenu- , ous competition with uuclrabs not many drivers of horse vehicles can rise to that height of affluence. I found ray man. Ho was surly at tirst. but I disclosed my identity, produced my authority, and, if ho had not been sea tod on his nereh. I am sure ho would have licked the dust before mo. Yos. he remembered those two gentlemen perfectly. "Where did you drivo them to?" "St. Paul's, guv-nor." This seemed Incongruous. "Tho cathedral?" "No. St. Paul's Station, by tho river." "Oh, I sea. They went Inside. I suppose, and took train for somewhere?" "They just didn't. They walked over tho bridge. There wasn't n copper by. so I Just gave the goo 'Is rein and sat munchln' n bit of breakfast." "And you watchod them cross the bridge?" "No. I was moved on afore they go right across.

So mine wore not the only eyes in which Warrington Stout had contrived to throw dust! "Ah!" I said off-handodly. "I really forgot to ask him whether ho was Insured or not.

Great Gold Display jrmed Guard Stand O-tiar it at Seattle Ejrpojttion Curiosity, which has been nrousod by the arrival In Seattle of more than f500.000 in gold from Alaska, can

be gratified if one will visit the Alas-ka-Yiikon-Paclllc Exposition. I'pwnrd of n $f.00.0l(0 worth of gold wns placed on exhibit there yesterday and on Wednesday morning an additional million In dust nuggets and bnrs will bo found on the pile. It is the biggest, most costly single exhibit ever shown at any world's fair. Only on rare occasions is an automobile seen within the grounds of tho exposition, but only a mild curiosity was displayed when a car drew up at the front door of the Alaska Building. Thls.however. turned eyes big with interest when the word was passed around that the Alaskan Building's gold exhibit had arrived. The cur. with Its load of more than $100.000, had excited no Interest until the men who wore in chnrgo of tho treasure closed while the gold was being taken Inside nnd arranged on the big, velvet lined pan in the exhibit booth. In charge of tho gold during its transmission from the ScandinavlanAmorican Bank to the exposition grounds were James C. McBrlde. Alaskan Commissioner to the fair, and John Piold. the mining expert in charge of tho minernl exhibit to the Alaska Building. The two men and the chauffeur were all heavily armed, while armed guards attended during the removal of the gold from tho automobile to tho place of oxhiblt. The samo precautions which were exorcised with tho placing of tho exhibit will be followed In caring for the golden treasure. It now rests in a steel and glass enge, the whole surrounded by a steel cage. At night, tho gold Is dropped into n steel vault and two guards stand on watch all night. The principal nugget In the collection ls the great isft-ounce lump, owned by Jafet Lindeberg. President of the Pioneer Mining Company of Nome, and one of th. originnl diseovcrers of k.1c1 at Nome. This is the lärmst nugeet ever taken out of Alaska and it has nn In teresting history. A workman was sinking a hole for a post und r a sluice box on Anvil Creek when he encountered what he thought vva a largo piece of gravel After some difficulty h dislodged It nnd brought to the surface the huge uugm-t That lucky post hole meant a $100 note on the spot, niven to him hy Mr. Linde berg. The two other large nuggets, owned bv the Nom millionaire and displayed with the big one, were taken from near the Fame spot There aie SI other nuggets in the Llndeherg section. The next collection in point of value, outside the five bricks loaned by the United States Assay Office of this' city, and valued at Jläo.OOO, is owned b Mrs. Clarence Berry, of Fairbanks She has two large nuggets on exhibition, one weighing II ounces. The $170.000 worth of samples she shows are all the frultR of Mrs Bern's own panning. Her husband told her she could hive for herself all of the gold she panned off his claims and the $70.000 collection is the result. There are a number of smaller co lections n presented and among the most Interesting things shown is a gold flask, hammered out of one nugget, nnd live di inking cups, each hammered out of a nugget. Following the arrival of the Fteam-! ship Vlc'orla from Nome with other gold already hold by them, the Scandinavian-American Bank will turn over to Commissioner Mr Bride 000 in gold nuggets nnd bricks m Tuesday afternoon, and this will be added to the pile on exhibit at the Alaska Building and bring it up to almost $1.:00.000.

"Your pardon, sire," said the aide-de-camp; "this one is well worth seeing." The curiosity of King Louis of Bavaria wns aroused, and he grunted the nudioncc on a fateful October, day, 6.1 years ago which I)la Montez. dancer and adventuress, craved. Two days later the King declared, with royal frankness, to one of his ministers. "I know not how I nm bewitched. " At that time Lola Montez was 2S In the full zenith of her beauty and King Louis over GO. The acquaintance thus commenced continued on terms wholly plntonlc. Art and beauty, however, were, noxt to his kingdom, whnt his majesty lived for. and Lola Montez excited his admiration to such an extent that he would gozo for hours nt her picture. And she repnld his adoration by causing n revolution, which ended in King Louis being driven from his throne. Whnt sort of womnn was this Ix)ln Montez? Mr. E. B. d'Auvorgno. In his absorbing story of her career "Lola Montez: An Adventuress of the Forties" (Werner Ijiurle) tells some nstonishing stories of the power of her beauty and her adventures in mnny lands. She hnd traveled In several European countries previous to her meeting with King Louis of Bnvnria, bewitching men ns much with her less face and figure. She Inspired the strength of character as by her fntiltgenius of Frnntz Liszt. She wns tho friend of Dumas nnd h's contemporary geniuses of France. She could shoot, ride nnd knew no fear. In Mr. d'Auvercne's own words, she was a "dazzling daredevil." and thought nothing of horsewhipping any man who insulted her. Here Is an incident, after her meeting with King Louis of Bnvarln. which Illustrates her fearlessness. People became possessed of theldon that his malesty was sacrificing the count rv'a welfare In order to fall In with the whims of Loin Montez and shower favore upon her. University students greeted her with howls, hoots and

cries.
