little man was striding about his
orary with impatient steps. no

sotne once, but romarKaoiy snauoy
now, and ho wrapped it closely around
him though the heat of the weatheg
was intense But, Colonel. Hope, largo
as were his 'coffers, never spent upon
himself a superfluous farthing,, espe-
cially lrr the way of personal adorn-
ment; and Colonel Hopo would not
have felt too warm, cased in sheep
skins, for ho had spent the best part
t his life in India, and was of a
hilly nature.
The Colonel had that, afternoon been
made acquainted with an unpleasant
transaction which had occurred in his
house. The household termed it a
mystery; he, a scandalous robbery;
and ho had written forthwith to the
nearest chief police station, demand-
ing that an officer might be dispatched
back with tho messenger to Investi-
gate it. So there he was, waiting for
his return in Impatient expectation,
and occaslonaljy halting beforo the
window to' look out on the busy Lon-
don world. . .
The officer at length came and was
Introduced. The Colonel's wife, Lady
Sarah, joined him then, and they pro-
ceeded to give hlra tho outlines of the
case. A valuable diamond bracolot,
recently presented to Lady -"Sarah by
her husband, had disappeared In a
singular manner. Miss Seaton, the
companion ,tq. Lady Sarah, had tem-
porary charge' of tlio Jewel box, and
fcad brought it dovn the previous
evening. Thursday, this being Friday,
to the back of the' drawing room, and
laid soveral pairs of bracelets out on
the table ready for Lady Sarah, who
was going to tho opera, to choose
which she would wear when sho came
up from dinner. Lady Sarah chpso a
pair, and plit, herself, tho rest back
into tho box, which Miss Seaton then
locked and carried to Its place up-
stairs. , In the few minutes that tho
bracelets lay on the table tbo most
valuable one, a- diamond, disappeared
from It.
."I did not want this to bo officially
Investigated; atleast, not so quickly,"
observed Lady . Sarah to, the officer.
"Tho Colonel wrote for 3'ou quite
against my wish."
"And so have let,th,e thief get clear
off, and put up with the Joss!" cried
the Colonel. "Very fine, my la'dy."
"You see," added her ladyship, ex-
plaining to the officer "Miss Seaton 13
a young lady of good, family, not a
common-companion; a frlond.of mirio,
I may say. She is of feeble constitu-
tion, and this affair has so completely
upset her that I fear she will bo laid
on a sick bed." ,
"It won't be my falilt ft sho is," re-
torted the Colonel, "Tho loss of a
diamond brncelot, worth two or threo
hundred guineas, Is not to bo hushed
up. Thoy are not to be bought overy
day, Lady Sarah!"
The officer was taken to tho loonf
whence tho bracelet disappeared. It
was a back drawing room, tho folding
doors between It and tho front stand-
ing open, and. the back window, a
largo ono looking out upon eomo flajj
loans as aiu u my raw ui uuunca.
The officer seemed to take in the
points of tho douhlo room at,a glanco;
tho door of communication, Its two
doors opening to the corridor outside,
and Its wirws. He looked at the
latchfes of tFtwo entranco doors, and
he leaned fiwn tho front windows, and
ho leaned from tho one at tho ba.ck.
He next requested to seo Miss Soaton,
and Lady Sarah fetched her a dell-
cato girl with transparent skin and
looklns almost too weak to walk. Sho
was In a visible tremor, and shook aa

tho middle of tho tablo at tho back,
"nnd the rest I laid out round, and
and beforq it."
"It was worth 'moro than any of tho
others, I believe," interrupted tho offi-
cial. "Much more," growled the Colonel.
The officer nodded to himself, and
Alice resumed:
"I left the bracelets and went and
sat down at ,oho of ' tho front win-
dows r-"
"With the Intervening doors open, I
presume."
"Wide open, as they aro now," said
Alice, "and the other two doors shut
Lady Sarah came up from dinner al-
most directly, and then tho bracelet
woj nftt there."
"Indeed! You are qulto certain of
that'
"I am quite certain," intorpohed
Lady Sarah, "I looked for that brace-
let, and, not seeing It, I supposed Miss
Seaton had not laid It out I put on
tho pair I wished to wear and placed
tho others In the box and saw Miss
Seaton lock It"
"Then you did n5t miss the bracelet
at that time?" questioned the officer.
"I. did not miss it in one sense, be-
cause I did not know ifhad been put
out," returned her ladyBhlp. "I saw
It was not there." ,
"But d.Idyou not miss It?" ho asked.
"I only reached tho table as Lady
Sarah was closing tho lid of the box,"
she answered. "Lady Frances Cheno-
vix had detained me in tho front
room."
"My sister," explained Lady Sarah.
"She Is on a visit to me, and had come
with mq up from dinner."
"You say you went and sat in the
front room," resumed the officer to
Alice, in a quicker tone than ho had
used previously. "Will, you show
where?"
Alice did not stir; sho only turned
her head towards tho front room, and
pointed to a chair a little drawn away
from-tho window.
"In that chair," sho said. "It stood
as it stands now."
The officer looked baffled.
"You must have had tho back room
full in view from thence; both the
door and the window."
"Quito so," replied Alice. "If you
will sit down In it, you will perceive
that I had an uninterrupted view, and
faced the doors of both' rooms."
"I perceive so from here. And you
saw no ono enter?"
"No ono did enter. It was impossi-
ble they could do so without my ob-
serving it Had either of tho doors
been only quietly unlatched, I must
havo seen."

Interposed Colonel Hopo. "They must
have been confounded deep whoever
did It; but thieves are said to possess'
sllght of hand."
''They aro clever enough for it, some
ot them," observed the ofilcer.
'.'Rascally villains. I should like to
know how thoy accomplished this."
"So should I," significantly returned
the officer. "At present It appears to
me lncompreherisible."
There was a pause. Tho ofilcer
seemed to muse; and AUco, happen

to answer. "I did not tako particular

well yesterday evening."
"Was It half an hour?"
"Yes I dare say nearly so."

brisk tone, "will you havo any objec-
tions to take an oath beforo a magis-
trate In private, you know that no
person whatever, except yourself, en-
tered either pf these rooms during that
period?"

terror. Lady Hopo hastily pushed a
chair behind her, and drew her down
upon It,
