Inapector Addington Peace beamed
I upon me as he concluded his deduo
i tion concerning the theft of Julius
Taubery's diamond, with an expres-
sion of hopeful enthusiasm, and lit a
cigarette at my reading lamp.
"This unknown criminal genius has '
got the diamond, anyway," I said.
"I am not so sure of that Consider i
the position of the actual thief on the
discovery that the stone was false. He
must have been in a state of blind ter- i

Gunton Is innocent, the bellowing of

shook a finger of warning, and trotted

windows were fastened. Therefore

of the way of the crowd.

"I will (Jrive you there with all the

tho colonel, cheerfully "Come along "

obtaining a whispered promise from
the detective that ho would give me a

I spent a disconsolate evening at
tho club Never did I play a more de
graded hand at bridge, though I
should certainly have tak*n exception
to the remarks of my partner under
more ordinary circumstances. There
is a point at which fair criticism ends
and deliberate Insult begins.
H> ten o'clock I was back again in
my rooms, where I loitered, amongst
my books and pictures, in restless ex
pectation. It was chiming midnight
w hen there came a discreet tap at my
outer door, and Addington Peace
walked In He sat himself down In
tho easy chair I offered and permitted
me to mix him a whisky and soda.
"Tell me, hrtve you found the dia
mond?"
"No."
"Nor the thief?"
"I know him to be one of five men
—that is nil."
' Ktve? And how do you make that
out ?"
"It is very simple The reaf dla
mond was examined by Professor Kn-
dicott: it was an imitation that
reached Sir Andrew Carilion. There-
fore it is reasonable that one of the
five who sat between them changed
the one for the other."
"So you strike out the professor and
Sir Andrew?"
"If either of them had been impli-
cated they would hardly have raised
the quarrel that resulted in the dis-
covery of the theft
"And this swspccted live who are
they?"
Our friend Colonel (Junton, Mr

made some light Inquiries and find
nothing against them. Carstairs,
Craddock and Power are men of mod-
erate income, the other two are rich.
V. t this giv« s ii^ one important
conclusion The actual thief is an am
ateur in crime. So far as anyone
knows this is his first offense. Hut It
was not a sudden temptation to which
he yielded On the contrary, he was
carrying out his share in a plot that
had been long and carefully prepared.
IIh substituted an imitation diamond
for the original as It passed through
his hand-—an easy matter; but who
thought out the scheme, who had this
I have a long day's work before me, it
is time I was off to bed. Ijo you know
It Is one o'clock?"
1 knew how useless It was to ques-
tion the little man when he thought
he had told enough. So I bade him
good night with the best grace that
disappointment would permit. It had
been kind of him to trouble about me,
after all.
Three days went by. and I had not
had the chance of asking Peace lor
news. For two nights, as I discovered
by Inquiry, he slept out, only appear-
ing tor an hour about noon to change
his linen; for he was most careful of
his appearance and as cleanly as a
cat. Indeed, I had a secret belief that
Ills nails were regularly manicured in
Hond street When I did see him it
was by accident, and. to be frank,
toes underneath it, I feel quite senti-
mental. I do, Phillips, strike me."
To emphasize his sensations he
glared ferociously at a weak Individ-
ual who was pressed against him by a
swirl In the crowd, and asked him
what in thunder he thought he was
doing.
The great table was bought, the last
of the heavy furniture; and there
only remained a few details that were
auctioned, some separately, some In
oddly assorted lots. It was during
their sale that my talk with the col-
onel was Interrupted by the little boy
upon his shoulder.
"Oh, father." he cried, "there's
George's bicycle horse! Won't you buy
me George's bicycle horse?"
A long tailed, long maned toy was
raised by one of the auctioneer's mna,
who grinned under a running fire of
chaff. I had an idea that I had :-ft«n
that gallant charger before, though
where I could not remember.
"Who is George?" 1 asked the col-
onel.
"It's Taubery's grandson. \ la
daughter's a widow, you know, ste
and the boy live with the old people.

I was walking through Kensington
