The Opal

"I sha'n't go Immediately to your crib." rejoined Ilurd dryly, "though I may do so later. My first visit will be to that old pawnbroker. I think if I describe you and you are rather a noticeable man, Captain Jessop he will recognize the individual who pawned on opal serpent brooch w ith him shortly after the death of Lady Rachel Sandal, to whom the said brooch belonged." "It's a lie," said Jessop hoarsely, and sober enough now. "Quite so, and perhaps it is also a lie that a man resembling yourself tried to get certain jewelry from a lawyer named Pash" Jessop lost his self control, which he was trying desperately to preserve, and rose to his feet white faced and haggard. "Who are you?" he shouted, "who are you?" "Doesn't the warrant tell you?" re plied his companion, not at all upset. "My name Is Billy Ilurd. I am the detective in charge of the Norman murder case. I've been looking for you for a long time, Mr. Jessop." "I know nothing about it." "Yes, you do; so sit down and talk away." "I'll break your head!" cried the cap tain, swinging his huge fists. "Try" Ilurd whipped out his revolver, but did not rise "at the risk of getting a bullet through you. Pshaw, man, don't be a fool! I'm making things as easy for you as possible. Create a disturbance, and I'll hand you over to the police. A nljht in the village lockup may cool your blood. Sit down, I tell you." The sailor showed his teeth like those of a snarling dog and made as to strike the seated detective; but suddenly changing his mind, for he saw well enough in what danger he stood, he dropped into his chair and, covering his face with his hands, groaned aloud. Ilurd put away his revolver. "That's better," said he pleasantly; "take a tot of rum and tell me all you know." "I'm Innocent," groaned Jessop. "Every man Is innocent until convicted by a jury," said Ilurd calmly. "Consider me a Jury, and I'll size up your case when I hear all. Are you Innocent of both murders?" "Lady Rachel committed suicide," said Jessop, raising a haggard face. Yes I stick to that, sir. As to Krill'a death in London,-1 didn't touch him; I wear I didn't." "But you saw him on that night?" "How can you prove that?" "Very simply. Norman or Krill If you prefer the old name took certain Jewelry to rash for safe keeping shortly before his death. You presented to Tash a paper, undeniably written and signed by the old man, saying that tho jewelry was to be given up to bearer. Now, before taking the jewelry to Tash, Krill could not have written that paper, so you must have seen him during the few hours which elapsod between his visit to Pash and his death." This was clearly argued, and Jessop could not contradict. "I left him quite well and hearty." "In the cellar in Gwynne street?" "Yes, In the cellar," admitted Jessop. "At what time?" "About half past 8 say between 8 and 9." "Well, what happened?" asked Ilurd, smoking quietly. The sailor twisted his big hands and groaned. Then he laid his head on the

Oh since I pawned that brooch" "Ah. Then you did pawn the brooch at Stowley?" Jessop sat up and wiped his eyes. "Yes, I did. But I pulled my cap down over my eyes and buttoned up dy pea jacket. I never thovght old Tinker would ha knowed me." "Wasn't it rather rash of you to pawn the brooch ia a place where you .were well knoyn?" i'l .wasn't well known, i only cpma

at times, and then I went away. Old Tinker hadn't seen me more nor once or twice, and then I pulled down my cap and" Jessop, badly shaken, was beginning to tell the episode over again when Kurd stopped him. "See here," said the detective. "You Bay that you are Innocent?" "I swear that I am," gasped Jessop. "Well, then, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. My business Is not to hang Innocent people. Take a glass of rum and tell me all you know, beginning with your first meeting with Krill and running down through the death of Lady Rachel to your last meeting la the Gwynne street cellar." "And when you know all?" "Then I'll see what Is to be done." "Will you arrest me?" 1 have arrested you. Don't make conditions with me, man," said Ilurd, with a stern face. "The night is growing late, and I want to get to the bottom of this business before we go to bed. Take some rum." Seeing there was nothing for it but to make a clean breast, Captain Jarvey Jessop wasted no further time in useless lamentation. lie could have

smashed Ilurd easily enough, even though there was the risk of being shot, but the fracas would bring others on the scene, and Jessop knew he could not deal with the police. Therefore he took a 6tiff peg and became quieter in fact, when once started on his confession, he appeared to be rather relieved. "It's been a nightmare," said he. wiping his forehead. "I'm glad it's come to the lawr, that I am. I met Kril!, as be wos then, some twentyfive year back by chance, as you may say" he cast a strange look at the detective, which the latter noted "yes, by chance, Mr. Ilurd. I found he kep' the pub here, and this bein' no distance from Southampton, I took to runnin' down here when the barkey was at anchor. Me an' Krill became great mates, and I'd what yon might call free quarters here yes, sir it's a frozen fact." "Very generous of Mr. Krill," remarked Ilurd dryly and wondering what the man was keeping back. "Oh, he was right enough as a mate when not drunk, but the liquor made a howling dorg of him. I've seen many drunk in many places," said Jessop. "but any one who held his liquor wuss nor Krill I never did see. He'd knifo you as soon as look at you when drunk." "But he evidently preferred strangling." "Hold on, mate," said Jessop, with another deep pull at the rum. "I'm comin' to that night. We wos both on the bust, a y'may say, and Mrs. Krill she didn't like it, so got to bed with the child." "How old was the child?" 'Maud? Oh, you might say she was thirteen or fifteen. I can't be sure of her age. What's up?" For Ilurd, seeing In. this admission a confirmation that Maud was not Krill'a child and could not inherit the money, had showed his feelings. However, he made some trivial excuse, not wishing to be too confidential, and begged Jessop to proceed. "Well, mate," said the captain, filling another glass of rum, "y'see the lady had" come earlier and had been put to bed by the missus. I never saw her myself, being drinking in this very room along o' Krill. But he saw her," added Jessop emphatically, "and said as she'd a fine opal brooch, which he wish he'd had, as he wanted money and the missus kept him tight." "Krill was a judge of jewels?" "Traveled in Jewels once," said the captain. "Bless you, he could size up a precious stone in no time. But he sat drinking with me, and every now and then got out of the room, when he'd stop away for perhaps a quarter of an hour at the time." "Did he mention the opal brooch again?" "No," said Jessop, after reflection, "he didn't. But he got so drunk that he began to show fight, as he always did when boozy, though a timid chap when sober. I concluded, wishing no row, to git to my hammock, and cut upstairs. Then I went by mistake into the room of that pore lady, carrying a candle, and saw her tied to the bedpost stone dead, with a silk handkerchief round her neck. I shouted out blue murder, and Mrs. Krill, with the kid, came tumbling down. I was so feared," added Jessop, wiping his forehead at the recollection, "that I raa out of doors." "What good would that do?" "Lor, I dunno." confessed the man. shivering, "but I wos skeered out of my life. It wos rainin pitchforks, as y'might say, and I raced on through the rain for an hour or so. Then I thought, as I wos innocent, I'd mako tracks back, and I did. I found Krill had cut." "Did his wife tell your' "Oh, she wos lying on the floor Insensible where he'd knocked her down. And the kid Lor," Jessop spat, "she was lying in the corner with her lips fastened together wP the brooch." "What?" cried Hu i, starting to his feet. "The same as her the same as Norman's was?" Jessop nodded and drank some rum. "Made me sick. It did. I took th brooch away and slipped it Into my pocket. Then the kid said her father had fastened her Hps together and had knocked her mother Cat when she interfered. I brought Mrs. Krill round and then left her with the kid. and walked off to Southampton. The police found mo there, and I told them what I tell ycu." "Did you tell about the brooch?" "Well, no, I didn't," confessed Jeseop coolly, "and as the kid and the mother said nothing, I didn't see why I shouldn't keep It, wantin' money. So I went to Stowley and pawned It, then took a deep sea voyage for a year. When I come back, all was over." "Do you think Krill Bordered th-2

women?" asked Ilurd, passing over for tb? moment the fact that Jessop had stolen the brooch. "He said he didn't," rejoined the man with emphasis, "but I truly believe, mister, as he did, one of them times when mad with drink and out of the room. He wanted the brooch, d'ye see, though why he should have lost the loot by sealin' the kid's mouth with It I can't say." "When did you come across Krill again?" "Ho," said Jessop, drawing his hand across his mouth, "'twas this way, d'ye see. I came round here lots, and a swell come, too. a cold" "Grexon Hay," said nurd, pointing to the photograph.

"Yes, that's him," said Jessop. star- ! ing. "and I hated him just, with his eyeglasses and his sneerin' ways. He loved the kid, now a growed, fine gal, as you know, and come here often. In June at the end of it anyhow he comes and I hears him tells Mrs. Krill, who was always looking for her husband, that a one eyed bookseller in Gwynne street, Drury lane, had fainted when he saw the very identical brooch showed him by another cove." "Beecot I know. Didn't you wonder how the brooch had left the pawnshop?" asked Hurd, very attentive. "No, I didn't," snarled Jessop, who was growing cross. "I knew old Tinker's assistant had sold the brooch and he did' t oughter t' have done it, as I wanted it back. Mrs. Krill asked me about the brooch and wanted it, so I said I'd get it back. Tinker said it was gone, but wrote to the gent as bonght it." "Mr. Simon Beecot of Wargrove, in Essex." "That wos him; but the gent wouldn't give it back, so I s'pose he'd given it to his son. Well, then, when Mrs. Krill heard of the one eyed man fainting at the sight of the brooch she knew 'twas her husband, as he'd one eye, she having knocked the other out when he was sober." "Did she go up and see him?" "Well," said Jessop slowly, "I don't rightly know what she did do, but she went up. I don't think she saw Krill at his shop, but she might have seen that Pash, who was Mr. Hay's lawyer, and a dirty little ape o' sorts he is." "Ha," said Hurd to himself, "I thought Pash knew about the women beforehand. No wonder he stuck to them and gave poor Miss Norman the go-by." He rubbed his hands and chuckled. "Well, we'll see what will come of the matter. Go on, Jessop." "There ain't much more to tell," grumbled the captain. "I heard of this, end I wasn't meant to hear. But thought I'd go up and see If I could get money out of Krill by saying I'd tell about the murder of Lady Rachel." "You are a scoundrel," said Hurd coolly. "I wos 'ard up," apologized the captain, "or I wouldn't, not me. I'm straight enough when In cash. So I went up In July." "On the 6th of July?" "If that was the day of the murder, yes. I went up and loafed round until It wos dark and then slipped through that side passage at 8 o'clock to see Krill." "How did you know where to find him?" "Why, that Hay knew about the chap and said as he did business in a cellar after 8. So Krill let me in, thinking, I s'pose, I wos a customer. He'd been drinking a little and was bold enough. But when I said as I'd say he'd killed Lady Rachel he swore 'he was an Innercent babe and cried, the drink dyin' out of him." "The same as It djed out of ycu lately," said Hurd, smiling. "Go slcwv," grunted the captain In a surly tone. "I ain't afraid now, as I ain't done nothing. I said to Krill I'd say nothing if he'd give me money. He wouldn't, but said he'd placed a lot of pawned things with Pash, and I could have them. He then gave me a paper saying I was to have the things, and I went to Pash the next morning and had trouble. But I heard by chance," again Jessop cast a strange look at nurd, "that Krill had been murdered, so I didn't wait for the lawyer to come back, but cut down to Southampton and went on a short voyage. Then I come here, and you nabbed me," and Jessop finished his rum. "That's all I know." "Do you swear you left Aaron Norman alive?" "Meaning Krill? I do. He wasn't no use to me dead, and I made him give me the jewels Pash had, d'ye see." "But who warned you of the death when you were waiting?" Jessop seemed unwilling to speak. but when pressed burst out, "Twas a measly little kid with ragged clothes and a dirty face." "Tray," said nurd. "Hum! I wonder how he knew of the murder before It got into the papers?" CHAPTER XXI. URD'S sister was a clever young woman who in her time had played many parts. She began her career along with nurd as a private detective, but when her brother joined the official service Miss Hurd thought she would better her position by appearing on the stage and therefore took the rather queer name of Aurora Qian. In her detective capacity she had often disguised herself when employed la obtaining evidence and was remarkably talented in changing her face and figure. This art she used with great success in her new profession and speedily made her mari a3 an impersonator of various characters out of novels. As Becky Sharp, as Little Dorrit, she was said to bo inimitable, and after playing under several managements she started, in the phrase of the profession, "a show of her own" and rapidly made money.

! I r 1

But her great faults, among others, ! were vanity and extravagance, so she was always in need of money, and

when chance offered, through her brother, to make any she was not averse to returning to the spy busi ness. Thus it came about that she watched Mr. Grexon Hay for many a long day and night, and he never sus pected the pretty, fluffy, kittenish Miss , Qian was in reality an emissary of the law. Consequently when Aurora asked him to a card party at her rooms nay accepted readily enough, although he was not in need of money at the time. Miss Qian occupied a tiny fiat on the top of a huge pile Qf buiklings in KenSington, ana it was furaiehed in a gimcrack way, with more show than real value and with more color than taste. : Like the Becky Sharp whom she Im personated with such success, Miss Qian possessed a chaperon, not because she needed one, being very well able to look after herself, but because it sounded and looked respectable. Miss Stably, who ruled tnis necessary onice, was a dull old lady who dressed excessively badly and devoted her life to knitting shawls. She talked very little. This sort of person exactly suited Miss Qian, who wanted a sheep dog who could neither bark nor bite and who could be silent. These qualiflca-

"I've made very little," she replied, "Hay's raking in the dollars hand Over fist."

"Sandal, don't stare round. but keep your eye on the cards," and she winked stealthily at the young lord while Hay was exchanging a word with Tempest. The young man, who had spoken privately to her Immediately before the dinner, knew well what she meant. Had Hay been likewise "in the know" he would scarcely have done what he did do and which Sandal saw him do in a few minutes. Hay was rapidly dealing, and the cards were flying like leaves. A pile of gold stood beside Hay's elbow and some silver near Tempest. The game commenced, and soon the players were engrossed, heedless of the patent snorlng of Miss Stably, who, poor old thing, had succumbed to the lateness of the hour. Suddenly Lord George, who had been very vigilant, felt his foot touched under the table by Miss Qian. He a u i u rose at once and snatched up the gold standing near Hay. "What's that for?" demanded Hay angrily. "You're cheating," said Sandal, "and I don't play with you any more." "That's a He!

"You took up that king" "And it's marked," said Aurora. "I believe Hay's got cards up his sleeve. Examine the cards."

IN MY LADY'S BOUDOIR Lotions for oily skin are plenty, but one hesitates to recommend some of them because they seem so harsh on the complexion. One doctor who is frequently implored by his patienis to cure them of oily skins, recommends cologne water and rain water, half and half. I do not think it is wholly a success with the women who try it. to judge from the appearance of their faces. The trouble is that they use it to often, applying it once a day, when once a week 13 sufficient.

There is some compensation, however, when the oil is sweet smellin:?, as is the tonic which I am prescribing-, if carefully used it will not make the hair look bad. though one must part the hair carefully before rubolng u in.

Of course the worst are gone, but the few that remain are a veritable thorn in her flesh.

Yet the Thanks iving cake must be made soon. in o der to be moist and rich before the great day of ftr.n cttn c inmen Tf rallv isn't so hard to make, lf you only know how to keep the fruit from sinking, and have a good recipe like the one given here. Fruit will never sink if it is heated in the oven before being mixd with the batter. When the cake is thoroughly cold, I wrap in oiled paper or tinfoil and keep in a stone Jar on the cellar bottom. Here are the two recipes: Maryland Fruit Cake The following recipe for fruit cake, which those who have tried it will never exchange for

fine, the rind and part of the jnice of one orange and lemon, half a pint of brandy, one nutmeg. Cream the butter and sugar, add the eggs, well beaten. Then one pound of Hour, the fruit stirred into the mixture. Put the flour in last and reserve, when pouring in

j the liquor, sufficient to pour over the Scake after it is placed in the oven. It will keep for months, and besides its delicious flavor it can be eaten with impunity by persons who cannot touch wedding cake made by the usual recipe. Fruit flluKerbrend Two pounds of flour, three-fourths pound butter, one pound sugar, one pound raisins seeded and chopped, one pound currants well washed, two cups molasses, one-half cup sour cream, six eggs, one heaping teaspoon soda dissolved in hot water, two tablespoons ginger, one teaspoon cinainon, one teaspoon cloves; cream the butter p. ml sugar, warm the molasses slightly, and beat these together, then the beaten yolks, next the milk and spice, the soda, the flour, and whites well whipped; lastly the fruit, which must be thickly dredged. F.eat well before baking. A little citron shred fine is an improvement. Bake in two bread pans in a moderate oven. This cake will keep a long time. Case t'iinlr 'IV) renew cane chairs: If the seats have become limp and stretched, so that they sink in the center, they may be made as good as new, if none of the strips of cane are broken, by well washing them in hot water and then placing them in a cur rent of air to dry. This causes the cane to tighten up, and, when dry, the seat will be quite flat, as when firsl woven. Double Ituhbern When canning fruit put two rubbers on glass jars and there will be no possible chance of air getting in. Sometimes there are sharp little edges on the jars that seem to cut the one rubber. The ex tra rubber on top of this one will keep out the air, even if the lower one be cut. Also the tops can be screwe tighter. on TODAY'S MENU 11 11 K A K FA ST. Bananas. Cereal. Broiled Tomatoes. Fried Potatoes. Coffee. Rolls. i.rciiEov. Potato Soup. Scalloped Sweet Potatoes and Bacon.
