I wonder who is this tlirard Robert*
ho h** brought to se? us. He lus
known us but a few ww?s, yet tt seeuis
ihur we have nil been frieuds for \ ears.
It's strange how souie people ha** a
faculty of Insinuating themselves at
ouce into one's good gra<~s. Already
1 call |h'* '???' " by bis drst name. auJ,
though I ba^e kuown IXmald since 1
was ->iitveu years old, 1 still call turn
Mr. Cha?e.
I have sounded Girard Huberts as to
what he thinks of Oscar Richmond.
His reply was, "Ues a Uiug up good
fallow." That doesn't help me. But
it's the most 1 oau eai>ect ft?u StelA
who to ail ou the surface. those peo
ple oue becomes familiar with ou short
acquaintance seldom have auy' depth.
I asked Giwrd what he thought of'
Donald and received the same reply
"Hes a bau?- up gi>od fellow too." 1
was served right for relying upuu the
opiate* of ?u h a lightweight p?rwa
Girwrd Koberts seeuia to have plenty
of money as we;i as a taste for jewel
ry. The other day Aunt AMl was
showing hitu a diatuoud she wished to
turu into funds. Ue told her to to
amoug the jewelers, ask them to tlx
a price ou it and he would ;he her
? 10 more lhau the highest bid She
did so and got a hid of $il7u for the
?tooe. Ulrard told her it was chea;>
at $3W and he would give her that for
it She accept >^1 the otter Uk'*f and
I were present wheu the sale was
made, and Girurd taughiugly K?ld us
that he would rely ou us as witnesses
iu ease aunty backed out. lie didn't
bate the rnouey with turn, but said he
would bnu^ it the ueil afternoon at 3
o'clock..
Wheu he called aunty was out. (.Vi
car and 1 were in the library, Uirard
called to me to say to aunty when she
caine iu that she would bud the money
for the diamond under a vase ou the
mantel iu the parior. 1 promised to
do so. (.tecar asked me to go to walk
with him. 1 consented: weut upstairs
to set my hat, and we walked to the
park. Wheu I returned t had forgot
teu all about telling aunty that the
money for her dl.tmond was on the
l>arlor mant<-l. Indeed. 1 never thought
of it till just before going to bed. then
1 told her. She wvut downstairs to
Set it. ll was gone.
Lvery l?jdy is dissatisfied with me
and I am dissatisfied with myself for
being so thoughtless as to have left
so lous in an exposed i>o&itiou
It has uj*?et the wbolo household The
servants who consider themselves un
der suspicion are going about looking
very glum. Aunty is furious with me.
I expected Girard would show his feel
ings toward me very decidedly. What
a lovely feuow he is. after all! He
told me not to give myself any con
cern about th? matter, that doubtless
the money would run up. but if it did
not there was no oue to blame but
himself since he should not have left
so much money In such a place. He
explained that he did not leave tt with
me because t was "dirt lag." as he
called it, with Oacar and he didn't like
to intrude upon us.
t asked turn who he suspected, and
he -'.lid that, since the front door stood
uniatched and any one might have
come in while we were at dinner or
duruig the evening when we were all
upstairs, doubtless some person enter
ed. possibly for an ordinary purpose,
and, seeing the money, appropriated it
and skipped
1 have had a struke? an awful visits
tiou! Douakl Chase turns out to be the
thief who took the bill* left on the
mantel to pay for aunty's Jewel. This
morning wheu he was at business a
constable called at his room with a
?eareh warrant and found the bills In
his bureau drawer. To think that Don
ah], whom we have all known so long
and considered the very soul of honor,
should have done such a thing!
' How could be have taken the money
without our knowing it? What G Irani
Roberts told me la the ualy thing that
fits the case. Doubuesa Doaald called.

us. whoa he noticed the bl!b. il? must
have takeu them aad gone out without
making hlatself known.
I ; . * brv>k,?i tk*a." -d by this discovery
that PonaiU Ctutse ts a common thief.
Singular. tsu't It, that a girt doesn't
know she torn a maa till he turns out
to be a thief? Iq.u's the *a< with us
women; ?? are always actios by con
traries. Not k?a^ agi' I was uuverttin
about itarar ami thought Douakl a
splendid uiM!v But i was fascinated
with Cfcoar. and INma.d seemed devoid
of romance. Now that LV>uald is in
tivubie, through his own fault, i am
giving him uiv heart.
Ointrd Roberts has just come ia. Be
says that I>>oald has given bail for his
appearuoce when his trial cornea off
and is now free. Girard says that, not
withstanding :t;>;vuniaces are agaiuat
PonaM. he doesnT believe him guilty.
"Then." I said. "1 dout believe him
guilty either" But the uext minute I

Do~d has bees to see me. He did
not :i t or ti^k like a guilty man.
What's more. ho d:?lu"t seem to realise
his awful I supposed that
he w - a. >re sensitive. Though charg
ed w a >t-*ai: s money that was in
tent.: - or aunty, with whom he has
been on frieudty terms for years, to
say uothiug of his devotion to me. he
seemed very unconcerned. When I
learnt he was d-.-wustairs 1 nerved
tHjself for a very painful Interview.
. . r rear I >j"Uid say the wroug thins
1 thought over what I should say.
When 1 entered the room I dreaded to
h?ok at him. Indeed. 1 kept my eyes
on the door }
"Donald." I -sud. "you know how in
ten -.ted we all are that von should
clear >v_^tf of this horrible charge.

Then he advanced, took my band and

said. "There are always * heels with

Oscar Richmond. From what 1 heard
I believed him to be a thief. I intro
duced into this household Gir&rd Uob
erts. a detective"?
"A detective"* j
"That's what he is lie laid a trap
for Richmond and caught not Rich
mond. but me. Ue bought your aunt's
diamond for the ;*urpoae of laying this
trap. Ue put the bills to pay for It on
the mantel as a dewy for Richmond.
They were alt marked, that he might
prove them his property. Richmond
took them, but, being a smart rogue
and suspecting th.it we were on his
track, seut a man with them to my
room. This man represented himseif as
au old chum of mine, and my landlady
permitted him to go to the room to
wait for me. Once there, he put the ?
met y in my bureau drawer and went
away The ueat day Richmond ar
ranged that a constable should go to
my room to search for something he
claimed he had loe?t. You know the re
sult."
' But." I said. "Oscar Richmond did
nothing criminal. You were trying ta
catch him, and he turned the tables on
you."
"Wait a bit Richmond was an ac
countant for a arm ta San Francisco,
from whom he skipped with ?2l\00t>.
Roberts was employed by them to
track biia. My employing Roberts was
a coincidence. Richmond's real name
ts MacEnery. He was arrested this
morning and is now awaiting extntdir
Uv a iapers to take him to San Fran
cisco for trial."
Ami now I am aione in my room, try
ing to get settled down to the fact that
I am myself. Oscar Richmond is oot
Oscar Richmond at all. but somebody
else and a criminal. Donald Chase is
not going to the penitentiary, but is to
be my husband instead. Girard Rob
erts, who came to us with his appar- !
ently hght character and trivial words
?a skin deep man whom nobody either
loves or dislikes? turns oat to be one of
those cunning detectives one reads
about In stories. But now I know that
he is a real detective he seems very 1
different to me. Just as soon as It was [
all out. instead of calling me Alice be
called me Miss Avery. 1 was so mad I
could have choked him. Besides, 1 |
thought he was |uite a gentleman. He
ts very plain. indeed. Donald says he
served a term as a policeman.
Well, well: I shall never again think
I can tei! the difference between a
rogue and an honest man or between a
gentleman and a thief hunter.
