STOP THIEF! Novelized From the Great Play of the Same Name by George C. Jenks and Carlyle Moore Copyright, 1913, by the H. K. Fly Company CHAPTER V. Some Surprise.. t«er THAT’S that?” be asked Into 1 « / the mouthpiece. “Yes, this 1/1/ Is Mr. Carr’s house. I’m » V Mr. Carr. Who? Jellyt)ones? What do you— Oh. Nellie Jones? Miss Nellie Jones? No, there’s no one of that name here. Our name is Carr. Eh? You say that”— “I guess that’s for me. Mr. Carr,” Interposed Nell. “My name is Nellie Jones.” “Oh! ■ I never thought of that,” returned Mr. Carr. Then, after directing the person telephoning to “hold the wire,” he said to Nell as he held out the receiver to her. “Your brother wants to talk to you.” Nell took the receiver and in her usual calm tones spoke into the in strument “Hello!" “Well. I’ll leave you here to tele phone by yourself." said Mr. Carr “You know how to do it. 1 suppose?” “Yes, sir,” answered Nellie “1 have ■sed the telephone before.” William Carr doddered out of the room, closing the door after him. and Nell, bending till her mouth was close to the Instrument spoke rapidly in low. even tones: “Yes, dear, go ahead. Yes. yes. 1 understand. I haven’t bad time to call you up. I’ve only been here ten minutes. Now, listen. Get this Quick. Jack. I’ve got the lay. Wedding presents all over the place. Safe lit th* library, which they use for a reception room. Cinch to handle this nest iJh|> picking. Come over right away. rU be on the watch. I’ve grabbed a sparkler already. We can turn the trick hi half an hour while they’re at the wedding breakfast Come to the kitchen door in the basement I’ll see that it is open. The servants are all on a strike, and you will have a clear way. Come up to the library on the parlor floor. I’ll take care of the rest You got me? Hang up!” From the corner of her eye Nell perceived that James Cluney was entering. with a stockily built gentleman behind him, and she went on talking mellifluously into the phone, although she knew Jack had hung up the receiver: “Yes,' brother dear, 1 like this place. The people here are very kind, and the gentleman who Is going to married is so handsome and”— “Here! Here!” called out James Cluney, laughing. “Don’t give away my secret, young lady.” She gave him a roguish glance—and gray eyes can look as roguish as any eyes in the world—but without replying to him and finished her talk into the telephone with “Goodby, brother dear!” Stepping back from the table, Nell looked for one sharp instant at the stocky gentleman and decided that she did not know him as James Cluney said: “Come right in. Mr. Jamison. This Is quite a surprises. I’ll tell Mr. Carr you’re here.” “Thank you, Mr. Cluney,” replied the other, who was indeed no other than the Douglas Jamison who had helped Mr. Carr out of his unpleasant dilemma at the railroad terminal the night before. “Oh, here is Mrs. Carr,” he added, as the stately lady who bad gone to the station with her daughter Joan the night before sailed into the room, her jeweled ear trumpet raised aggressively. “Good morning, moth-er-in-law.” Mrs. Carr smiled and shook her ear trumpet at him in mock reproof. “Not yet, James.” “Not yet, but soon,” be returned in a burst of brilliant and original repartee. “I hope so,” was her gracious response. “Mr, Jamison, I’m glad you came. Won’t you sit down?” “I’ll go and tell Mr. Carr you want to see him. Mr. Jamison,” volunteered James Cluney. “Thanks.” Cluney picked up his hat and coat and Nell wondered what would happen if he found the ruby in his pocket and whether she could get at his coat first “I’ll have to do it; that’s an,” she thought *Tm not going to lose that sparkler now, if I can help It” “Oh, Mrs. Carr,” observed Cluney from the door, “that young lady is waiting to see you, I believe.” Then he went out and Nell could hardly restrain herself from running after him and picking the pocket of his overcoat in the halt “I am glad you have come,” said Mrs. Carr to NelL “Our servants have all left us most Did you bring your things with you?’ “Yes, ma’am,” returned Nell, rathe; astonished at the composure with which Mrs. Carr accepted such a disconcerting state of things as a large house destitute of servants. “That is mj suit case over there, and my trunk will come this evening.” Nell shrieked this into the ear trum pet which Mrs. Carr bad thrust lnt< her face, and she felt as if she wert furnishing a ragtime record for a pho nograph company. “Well, I’ll take you right up to mj daughter’s room, and you can placi yourself at her disposal.” Then, turn ing to Jamison: “You’ll excuse me Mr. Jamison?' 1“Of course.” breezed that rough an< ready individual. “Don’t mind me Just want .to have a short businesi talk with your husband, that’s alt’!

Euari ils ■ mu... . in 0 Mi 1 ; W J I . I » /1: I ‘ I jL “I am glad you have come,” said Mrs. Carr to Nell. “Oh, I see. Well, don’t trouble him more than you can help about business matters this afternoon, will you?” she asked, with a smile. “It’s his daughter’s wedding day, you know, and he seems to be more absentminded than usual. 1 want to keep his nerves undisturbed if 1 can.” “Quite right. Mrs. Carr,” roared Jamison into the trumpet. “Hello, Jamison,” said Carr, as the door closed behind bis wife and Nell. “So you have come to the wedding, after all. You were afraid last night you couldn’t. I tell you what. Jamison. If it hadn’t been for you last night that detective would have locked me up, I do believe.” “Oh, no. You could have straightened things out at headquarters easily enough. You might have had to stay in a cell all night, but you’d have been all right this morning.” “In a cell all night? Good graclousl Wouldn’t that be very unpleasant?” “Not very. What 1 want to see you about is that steel common stock you hold as security for the money you lent me some time ago.” “Steel common stock?” repeated Mr Carr vaguely “I don’t remember.” “Yon don't? Don’t remember that 1 borrowed some money of you?’ “Eh? Oh, yes. Ido remember now. And 1 took some steel stock as collateral. The stock is in that safe.” “Good!” ejaculated Jamison, rubbing his hands. “Well, before the day is over 1 may be able to pay you back and redeem that stock. I’m very busy. That’s why 1 can’t accept your invitation to be present at the wedding. 1 have a big deal on band, and if put it through I shall ask you for the stock.” “1 hope you wilt That’ll be good for both you and me. I’m a trifle short just now. I’ve bought a pigeon blood ruby ring for my daughter as a wedding gift that cost a small fortune.” “Ah. yes; daughters are expensive luxuries. Glad 1 haven’t any,” snorted Jamison, steaming out of the room like a runaway locomotive. It was at this instant that Mr. Carr » became aware of the fact that he had in bls hand a piece of garden hose some seven or eight inches long. He » was looking at it with a mystified i frown as Mrs. Carr returned, carrying 1 a cluster of long stemmed white roses. - which she laid on the table while she t looked wonderingly at the length of » hose in her husband’s hand. 1 “Mother!” he cried, and she snapped f the ear trumpet to her ear. “Good J news! Jamison is going to redeem 1 the stock 1 lent him that money on.” “It’s about time,” was the good lady’s sober response. “What on earth r is that you’re carrying in your hand. William?” “This hose? Yes. I’ve just been tryi Ing to think where 1 got it.” be ans- i swered with a distressed look. Then •- j his brow cleared. “Oh, of course. 1 u i recollect. It’s a piece of garden hose—j a remarkably fine piece of hose. I’m o going to have it duplicated.” J "William! What a thing to think of on such a day!” “Such a day? What day is it?” t. “What day is it? Only your daugnh teFs wedding day. That’s alt" (t “Oh, yes. Madge’s wedding day. t And, mother, I’ve bought her a ring.” “You have?" e ) “Yes, a pigeon blood ruby that I paid t j over a thousand dollars for. 1 have it I here,” he went on, as he began to _ ! search his pockets. “1 want you to see It, Now, what did 1 do with it?" Mrs. Carr knew her husband, and It was in a worried voice that she ex--3 claimed. “Now, don’t tell me you’ve 8 mislaid it. William.” 3 j She laid her ear trumpet on the table and arranged the flowers in a vase, *• 1 while William Carr fumbled again in U his pockets, having put the piece of 0 hose on the table by the side of the trumpet. ® “Oh, I remember now, mother,” he said. “The ring is in my overcoat in my room. Come with me. 1 want yon • to see it It is very beautiful." y “Very well." •I Mrs. Carr was already at the door with her husband, when he muttered. *■ “I don’t want to mislay that hose.” and ° returned to the table. v When one remembers that William > Carr was perhaps the most absentminded gentleman in New York out y side of a sanitarium, it is not to be wondered at that he picked up his >• wife’s ear trumpet in mistake for the hose.and placed it carefully in the table drawer. At all events, that is what d be did, and Immediately ran after her e. calling out, as his custom was, “Moth- » er, mother, wait for mel” “Yes, dear!” she responded, as she

I’ve forgotten my ear trumpet I’m getting as careless as you are.” Hastily she snatched up the piece Os hose from the table without looking at it and bolted after her busband, bolding the hose to her ear as be called baek something to her on his way upstairs. Thirty seconds later .Madge’s two sis ten. Caroline and Joan, burst into the room, both intent on one thing—the flnftlaa ot their mother’s ear trumpet. “Wbere can it be?” exHaimed Joan “Mother says she left it on the table, she thinks. But she found that piece of garden hose iu her hand when she got upstaii-s. and now sbe doesn’t know where tbs trum|)et is. Papa doesn't know, of course?" Caroline shrugged her pretty shoul ders and laughed scornfully. “When did he ever know where anything was. Joan? What’s the nse of talking about him in <-onnection with anything tost? Oh. here’s Nellie." she added, as Nell came tn. looking pret tier than ever in her black frock and white apron and lace cap. “Have you seen anything of my mother’s ear trunwl Nellie?" “No. Miss Caroline. Did she lose it in this room?” she asked innocently. “We ttftnk so.” “Weil, I’ll look around, and perhaps I can find it.” said Nell. ( There was a ring at the front door, alid Nell shot an inquiring look at Caroline, who responded to the unspoken questka with: “Yes. please, Nellie, go to the door. There Is no one else to do it." Nell went out and returned, ushering tn Dr. Willoughby aud a natty little man in clerical attire whom Caroline greeted with a pleased “How do you do. Mr. Spelaln?” while Joan allowed Dr. Willoughby to take her hand In a rapturous grasp which seemed to presage another wedding in the future. “Joan!" breathed Dr. Willoughby soulfulty. “Don’t be silly.” was Joan’s response; “Are we nearly ready?" asked Mr. Spelaln. who was the minister intrusted to make James Cluney and Madge ■,* • ■ w -■ ; \ ■' l i MlL'' A t.-<- f MF- -1 afcy wile w /■djjgSgjg - * ' j “Don’t be silly!’’ was Joan’s response. Carr man and wife. “1 have another wedding today, you know, so that I shall have to leave here immediately after the ceremony.” “Very soon. Mr. Spelaln,” replied Caroline. "We are just looking for mother’s ear trumpet You know she is perfectly helpless without it" The door burst open, and Mrs. Carr entered in a hurricane of excitement “Joan! Caroline! Have either of you seen anything of a ruby ring?’ “A ruby ring?” echoed Caroline at the top of her voice. “Yes. a ring set with a pigeon blood ruby, worth over a thousand dollars! Your father bought it for Madge. It’s gone! Lost! He’s mislaid it!” “Oh. Nellie,” called Caroline. “I left my handkerchief in my room. Will yon go and get it for me?" “Yes, Miss Caroline.” Nell slipped away and closed the door. Then Caroline beckoned to every one in the room to come closer as she said in an agitated whisper: “The new girl, the maid, is the only stranger in the bouse. She must be searched!’’ “What did you say?” asked Mrs. Carr, who without her ear trumpet was marooned from all ordinary conversation. Caroline put her lips close to her mother’s ear and, her voice being familiar to her parent, contrived to make her hear that it was proposed to search the lady’s maid. Mrs. Carr nodded an emphatic approval. while Nell, with her ear to the ! keyhole outside, smiled cynically. “This is very unfortunate,” remarked the minister. “We must find it before i we begin the marriage service; I hope : It won’t be necessary to search that poor girl. Ah! Here’s the bride groom,” he added as James Cluney 1; came in with evidences of perturba ! tion all over his face; “How do you ' do, Mr. Cluney?” ’ “Good morning, Mr. Spelaln. You I haven’t picked up a ruby ring, have ! ' you?’ Then hastily, in confusion: ! 1 ! “Na I beg your pardon. I don’t mean 1 | that, of course. But we can’t make it i out. Mr. Carr is sure he had it this afternoon, not ten minutes ag«.” “Os course 1 am!” exploded William i Carr. “I’m forgetful, but not so bad that I can’t remember a thousand doi- ! lar ring when 1 have it.” I “Why not search other parts of the house?’ suggested Cluney. “Go along. , Joan!” i > “I’ll go, too," announced Dr. WU- > loughby. “No, I want a word with you,” said t James Cluney significantly, as he seiz- • ed the doctor’s coat sleeve. Then, go- • ing up to Mrs. Carr’ and roaring in her ear: “Mrs. Carr, Dr. Willoughby and 1 } wULgo over tids room very thoroughly.

wHIe you Took In other "parts | house.” “Yes. I’ll go with you. mother,” put in William Carr. “Certainly it does not seem to be here in the library.** He and Mrs. Carr went out together, Che latter scolding her husband for his carelessness, while be, unable, in his agitation, to make her hear without her trumpet, could only take what he got In miserable silence. Nell, on her knees at the back of the »ofa pretending to hunt diligently for what she well knew was not there, waited to hear what James Cluney would have to say to Dr. Willoughby. Rhe realized that she was in a tight place, and that discovery might come at any moment. 1 But it was all for Jack, as she told herself, so what did she care? Some women are like that CHAPTER VI. A Light Fingered Mystery. JAMES CLUNEY cast his eyes about the room to assure himself that he and Dr. Willoughby were alone. Nell was out of sight “Doctor, there’s a mystery here.” “You mean the disappearance of this ruby ring. Yes, I should say it is a mygtery.” “I was not referring to that But— I found this in my overcoat pocket.” James Cluney impressively held out the box which had contained the pigeon blood ruby. “The ring?’ cried Willoughby. “No, but evidently the box the ring came in. it’s marked ’Solomon, Boston.’ That’s where Mr. Carr must have bought it The box is empty. It was In my pocket How did it get there?" “Some one must have put it there,” was the doctor’s sapient suggestion. “Exactly.” “Well, what do you make of it?” f “There’s a thief in the house." replied James Cluney. with a slight shiver. “What?’ “There must ba I didn’t put It there.” Dr. Willoughby stepped back a little from his friend and fixed him with a severe and penetrating gaze, as he asked slowly: “Are you sure you didn’t?” James Cluney stared back at the doctor, and there was defiance In his eyes, mingled with something very like apprehension. “Sure I didn’t? Os course 1 am. How could 1 put it there? Why should I? Thank goodness, the box was empty. Can you imagine what would have happened if the ring had been found on me?” “Great Scott! This is a mystery!" “Doctor, doctor! Come to mother!" , screamed Joan, bursting suddenly into the room. “She’s having hysterics!” “Oh. Lord! Here’s more of it!" groaned Willoughby as he rushed up ' to Joan, and—perhaps unconsciously, who can say?—took Joan’s hand. “I’m coming. Joan. She must be kept quiet! Your mother must be kept very quiet!" He and Joan scuttled away tempestuously. and as the door banged behind them Cluney pressed his twb hands to his temples and exclaimed: “Hah, this Is a nice wedding day! AU the servants on strike, mother-in-law in hysterics, strange things In my 1 pocket! What the dickens will 1 do?” 5 Then, after a thoughtful pause. “1 ( know!” He ran to the telephone and feverishly took off the receiver. “Give me hysterics!” he bawled. “No, no, central! I mean, give me police headquarters!" “Hello, police headquarters?’ cried Cluney. “This is Mr. Carr’s house. < West Seventy-second street. Will you ( send a plain clothes man here in a | hurry? Tell him not to see or speak to any one but Mr. Cluney. Understand? What? Yes. Cluney—James j Cluney. Got that name? All right! j Thank you.” As soon as Nell beard the word “po- | lice” she felt that the time had come . A . ng IBW i “Are you sure you didn’t?’ demanded Dr. Willoughby of Cluney. for prompt action. So soon she slipped out from the back of the sofa and j moved quietly .around the room, unob- I served by Cluney, until she was be- | , bind him at the table. 1 With a deftness that suggested con- J slderable practice, she took the box ■ from the table where he had placed it, I and, removing the ruby ring from her shoe, she put it In the box and replaced 1 1 the latter, ring and all, on the table. Then, with noiseless step, she made her way to a door leading to the kitchen regions and was gone before Clu- 1 nef had quite finished telejihoningi. (Tobe continued—)
