••Now. don’t you worrj’ about that. 1’11”“Gee, what a cinch!” chuckled Doogan to himself. “I’m afraid I’m going to be a very hard case for you.” observed Cluney. “Hard? You’re the softest case I ever struck.” “Hush!” whispered Cluney. taking Doogan’s elbow. “Here's the family. Change the subject.” “Well, well. Jack. I’m awfully glad you’re here; just in time to see your old pal married—just in time.” ’ “I wouldn’t have missed it for anything.” declared Doogan. “James,” sirid Mrs. Carr, addressing Cluney, “we’ve given up the search for the bracelet. The minister insists that the ceremony be performeil at once.” “Yes. yes,” assented Cluney. “But first I want to introduce my old friend, Mr. Jack Doogan.” Then, including all the others in a wide sweep of his arm. he introduced them in turn. “How are you?” inquired Doogan breezily, turning to Dr. Willoughby. “Who is he?” whispered the doctor to Cluney. “Hush! The detective!” replied Cluney, also in a whisper. “Tickled to death!" ’remarked Mr. Doogan to Madge as she gave him her hand. Then, holding out his hand to the dignified Mrs. Carr, he chirped, “How are you, mother?” Mrs. Carr ignored the proffered hand, and Madge exclaimed, “She’s a little deaf, Mr. Doogan.” “Ah, yes.” rejoined Doogan. “She’s blind, too, ain’t she? Hello, Cutey!” he added to Joan. “My name’s Caroline.” volunteered the young lady thus called. “That so? How are you. Carrie? And this is the minister, eh? Well, how’s the dominie?” Then Mr. Jack Doogan beamed uround him benevolently and observed to the company in general: “Well, now that I’ve met everybody. I feel right at home.” And he looked it. “So you’re an old friend of Mr. Cluney’s, Mr. Doogan?" observed Madge. “Yes. We’re college chums — ain’t we, Looney?” — “Cluney!” corrected Madge and Caro!ne together. . "“Yes, Cluney— Cluney!” whispered James Cluney to Doogan savagely. Then, aloud, he explained, with a forced laugh: “Looney! Ha, ha! That’s the nickname I had when we were at college.” “It’s most annoying,” broke in Mrs. Carr. “I can’t bear a word without my ear trumpet.” “Your ear trumpet?” exclaimed Cluney. He stopped and a nameless terror crept over his face. “What’s the matter, James?” queried Madge solicitously. “Good Lord!” was all he said. But from his coat pocket, where he had thrust his hand as he laughed, he slowly drew forth the ear trumpet! There was a chorus of “The ear trumpet!” and then Mrs. Carr, glaring at James Cluney, asked: “James, what is the meaning of this?” “I don’t know,” replied Cluney hopelessly. “I can explgift” interposed Doogan, with a loud laugh. “It’s a joke!” “A joke?” frowned Mrs. Carr. “Yes! Ha, ha, ha! Steal something from your mother-in-law on your wedding day—good luck! Ha, ha!” “Well, I don’t see anything funny about it,” declared Mi's. Carr, with much stiffness. “Say, James,” whispered Mr. Carr to Cluney. “What did you do with the bracelet?” “The bracelet? I didn’t take the bracelet.” “Oh, excuse me. I thought you did.” The old gentleman was still gazing suspiciously at his son-in-law elect when Mr. Spelain hustled toward the door, saying: “You’ll have to hurry, good people. I must keep that other appointment of mine.” “Now,” said Cluney to Doogan when they were alone. “How the devil did that trumpet get into my pocket?” “Don’t try to kid me,” returned Doogan. “You must have put it there.” “What if the bracelet should turn up in the same way?” muttered James Cluney as he thrust his hand into his overcoat pocket. Then, with a howl, he withdrew it sharply, and the bracelet was in his fingers. “Good Lord,here it is!” “Give it to me. I’ll take care of it,” said Doogan, taking the bracelet and putting it in his pocket. “That’s what I’m here for.” “Thanks!” • “Don’t mention it,” responded Doogan. “You’ll stick by me. won’t you?” asked Cluney as he took off his overcoat and laid it on a chair. . “Sure thing!” * “I’ll make it worth your while.” “You bet you will!” observed Doogan emphatically to himself. There was a sudden outbreak of excited voices outside in the hall, and the whole family, with Dr. Willoughby and the minister, came surging into the room boiling over with excitement. “James, James,” screamed Madge, “the house has been robbed!” “Yes. robbed!” squeaked Mrs. Carr. “Oh, dear!" “Robbed?” ejaculated Doogan in a convincingly incredulous tone.

’’’What's gone now?” asked Cluney j faintly. “All my beautiful wedding presents!" wailed Madge. “Everybody in the house must lie searched!” proclaimed Mr. Carr sternly. “Hide the bracelet! Hide it!" whispered Cluney to Doogan. Rut Mr. Jack Doogan needed no such advice. He glanced about for a con venieut place to put the bracelet and found Mr. Carr by his side, with one of his coat pockets bandy. “Everybody ought to l>e searched, opineil the min', ter. with the authority of the pulpit which he generally carried with him. "Am 1 suspected?” There was a geuerd! chorus of "No’s" to Dds. So Mr. Spelain said he would go away, officiate at the otlier inarriage ceremony which was so much on his mind and return to perform the same office for Janies Cluney and Madge Carr an hour later. “Mother, do yon suppose the maid could have " - began Joan hesitatingly, for she had taken rather a fancy to. Nell. “What’s that?” asked Doogan quickly. “Are there any new servants in the house?” “Yes, the new maid.” explained Mrs. Carr. “What's her name?" “Her name is Nellie.” replied Madge. “Ditl you «all me. ma'am?” asked Nell, coming forward from the door, where she 1’ <1 ,I> eii listening to the lamentations over the loss of the wedding presents. “Is this girl a suspicious character?” demanded Doogan, frowning and taking the whole matter upon his shoulders. “Not exactly suspicious,” answered Madge. “But”— “H’m!" said Doogan. Then to Nell, magisterially: "Let me look at your eyes. Ah, they’re beautiful eyes. Now show me your hands. Um. um!” he continued, as he took one of Nell’s soft hands in his big paw and gently pressed the fingers unobserved by the others while he lns|»eeted the palm. “Not a line of crime. Nothing but innocence, simplicity and honesty. I’ll stake my life on her. 1 have made a study of criminals for years. Haven’t I, Cluney?" “Oh. yes. for years and years,” corroborated Cluney hastily. “I’m very much obliged to you, my girl,” Doogan told Nellie. “Hope I may be able to do as much for you some day. Keep your eyes opep, and you may be able to relieve the family of a great deal.” “Thank you. sir.” responded Nell, as she left the room. “How about the other ladies? Are they above suspicion?” “Certainly!’’ snapped Dr. Willoughby. “Os course!” declared Cluney. “Very well!” nodded Doogan. “Then it’s up to us four men. Does any one care to search me?” Adding, before anybody could speak: “No? All right! Have you any objections to my searching you, doctor?” “This is an insult!" barked Dr. Willoughby. “Merely as a matter of form,” protested Doogan. “I thought we’d all agreed.” “I’m willing,” declared Mr. Carr. “Go ahead.” growled Willoughby. “But it’s all rot." He made a tentative search of Cluney, and dismissing him with a short A * • i 1 “Did you call me, ma’am?” “Nothing!" looked at William Carr, who offered himself as the next person to be examined. Jack Doogan said sadly: “No, I can’t do it. Mrs. Mother, will you kindly see if father’s pockets are empty?” “Perfectly ridiculous!” ejaculated Mrs. Carr. But she began to feel in her husband’s pockets nevertheless. Almost immediately she screamed: “My smelling salts! Quick, quick!” and ran from the room, followed by her terrified daughters. William Carr, looking after them amazed, put his hand in his coat pocket, felt the bracelet there, and darted after his wife and daughters. “What’s that all about?” exclaimed Dr. Willoughby, puzzled. “Do you suppose the bracelet was in the old man’s pocket?" “Sure,” said Doogan confidently. “It was? How did it get there?” demanded the doctor. “Why, 1 know,” threw in Cluney. “Mr. Doogan put it there.” “He did?” cried the doctor. “Certainly,” admitted Doogan coolly. “Look here, Cluney. You didn’t want them to find it on me, did you?” “Where did you get that bracelet?” thundered Dr. Willoughby, approaching Doogan menacingly. “From him,” said Doogan, pointing to Cluney.

“Their where did you get it, James?” “I don’t know. Oh, Willoughby, it’s true! I’m a kleptomaniac!” CHAPTER X. The Locked Safe. »•¥ T'S a sad case,” said Dr. WilloughI by. “1 should say so,” promptly A agreed Jack Doogan. James Cluney jumi>ed up suddenly as an idea came to ran to the safe, and as the door swung outward in response to his pull he shouted: “My Lord, the safe is open! I wonder if the bonds are there. Ah, thank heaven, here they are?” Jack Doogan knew he had placed the International Steel bonds in his own pocket, and he felt In it to find out whether he had lost them. No; they were still there. Cluney was handing a sheaf of papers that looked like the bonds to Dr. Willoughby. “Why. no. These are not the bonds!” cried the latter. “This is the common stock Mr. Carr spoke about.” Jack Doogan began to understand. “What?” howled Cluney as he looked at one of the papers which Dr. Willoughby had opened. “Why, so it is. Well, where are the bonds?” He peered into the safe again. "They’re gone! And the sunburst! That’s gone too!" He got up and stared wild eyed at Willoughby, who after an instant’s reflection advised: “Well, close the safe, James. They’ll think we took it.” “Yes: close the safe.” acquiesce I Doogan. “They'll think we took it.” “Here. James.” said Willonghhv holding out the stock to Cluney. “Put these back “ But just then William Crrr enle ed and Cluney. with a des] r i-isr “Tee late!” pushed the stock away from him, while Willoughby, anxious to get rid of it. tried to force it into Cluney’s hand. “Doctor, doctor,” shouted Mr. Carr, “come to my wife quick! She’s having hysterica! I’m afraid she's going to faint!” medicine bag for some ammonia and brandy. It’s out in the hall.” answered the doctor. Then as he tried once more vainly to make Cluney take the bundle of stock he whispered: “Oh. well, UH slip them into the safe on the way back. Get the old gentleman out of the room," he added, and vanished. But Madge came running in. white faced and terrified, and, seizing James Cluney’s arm, begged him to come to her mother, who was terribly ill. "Yes, yes, dear—right away." replied Cluney, as Madge hurried distractedly from the room. “Come on. Doogan! Don’t leave me! Sties to me! Don’t leave me!” And the two bolted after Madge Carr. Mr. Carr was about to follow, when his eye chanced to fail upon the open safe. “Dear me! That safe is open again. I must lock it. So careless of me. Horribly careless!” He locked the safe carefully, when Joan called to him from the doorway: “Come, father. Mother is calling for you. She’s having hysterics!” Meanwhile Dr. Willoughby hurried back to the library, carrying his black leather medicine ease in one hand and the steel common stock in the other. “That blasted common stock!” he growled. "1 must get it back in the safe before it is found on. me.” He pulled at the handle of the safe door, but the door would not move. “Hello! What’s wrong? Good heavens, it’s locked!” He was still fumbling at the handle, trying to get the door open and swearing softly, when Mrs. Carr—who had recovered from her attack of illness as abruptly as she had fallen into it—stood by his side, with all the others grouped about her, and demanded sternly: “Dr. Willoughby, what are you doing at that safe?” “I—l—was seeing if it was locked.” “What business was it of yours whether it was locked or not?’! demanded William Carr? All he could do was to stammer, “I—well, you see—James”— “Well, well? Wfiat is the explanation of this?” persisted Mrs. Carr. “You'd better let James explain,” suggested Dr. Willoughby, feeling himself cornered. “What has James to do with it?" “Nothing, nothing!” feebly protested Mr. Cluney. “Then what does Dr. Willoughby mean by asking you to explain?” *”“Eh! Oh, you see, Mrs. Carr, that’s a little way he lias. You see. he thought when things began to hide themselves surreptitiously about the house—he thought—that is, he believed—he feared —there might be a thief in the house.” “Well?” questioned Mrs. Carr pitilessly. “And. you see,” stumbled on poor Cluney. “his thinking that made me think that I— Oh. deuce take it! Doogan, you tell them.” “Go on. You’re doing fine!” encouraged Doogan. “Ami?” “Sure! I never heard anything clearer.” “All right, then; I’ll go ahead with it,” said Cluney. “You see, Mrs. Carr, it’s like this: Mr. Doogan is not really a friend. He’s more of a guest. No, he’s not exactly a guest. He's more of a friend. No, that isn't quite what I mean, either. You see, I asked him here to the wedding, and—well, here he is.” James Cluney, having got thus far. wiped his hot face with his handkerchief and puffed exhaustedly. “What has all that to do with Dr. Willoughby being at our safe?” asked Mrs. Carr. “Ah, that’s just what I am getting at,” answered James Cluney feverishly. “He’s a detective.” “Dr. Willoughby a detective?” exclaimed Mrs. Carr in astonishment. “No, no! Mr. Doogan. He’s a detective,” corrected Cluney. “Here!” burst out Mr. Carr indignantly. “What’s a detective doing in my house?” “He’s here to watch me,” began Cluney. Then, hastily correcting himself, “No, I mean to watch—to watch”— “Watch what? Watch whom?” im sisted Mrs. Carr.

“Aha! That’s it,” cried Cluney. “That’s what we want to know.” “And, now that he is here, what is he going to do?” asked William Carr. “If you put it up to me, I propose that we close up the joint," said Jack Doogan airily. “Joint?” echoed Mrs. Carr, mystified. “I mean—er- house.” said Doogam coughing slightly. “Close up the house and not allow any one to come in until we have hunted all through it for the stuff you’ve missed." “There you are." assented Cluney, ; relieved that some proi>osition had I been made. “That's the thing to do.” “I am still in the dark as to what ; you were doing at that safe." said Mrs. Carr, coming back to the old sore subject, which made Cluney and Dr. Willoughby both wince. There was a diversion at this juncture when Nell glided into the room and beckoned to Dr. Willoughby. ’ “Excuse me, Dr. Willoughby. There’s an automobile at the door for you. sir. | The gentleman said you should nurrv, ! sir.” “Who is it?” “He said to tell you it was on the way—that you'd understand." “Good Lord.” ejaculated Willoughby, ! “the baby! I’ve got to go. Remember. | Doogan. the case is entirely in your i hands.” “Leave it to me! it to me!” was Doogan’s reassuring response as the door banged behind the doctor. “That’s alt very well,” observed James Cluney. dismayed. “But what about the wedding? We haven’t any best man now.” Madge went over to Cluney and rest ed her head against his shoulder, re gardless of what it did to her carefully ' dressetl hair. (To be continued —)"
