"When you were taken 111, we both nursed you 1 willingly, she devotedly. Here lay another difference had you been able to delect it. What happened us a result of this enforced Intimacy? You know know far better than I." "I fell In love with Marcia." replied the man without an instant's hesitation. "You fell in love!" Sylvia repeated, her lip curling. "You call It love the poor thing you offered her I Why, Marcia would have gone to the world's end with you, Stanley Heath, had she the right. She would have faced any humiliation for your sake. If prison doors closed upon vou. she would have rctnului'd faithful until they swung open and afterward followed you to any comer of the earth In which you chose to begin a new life." "That's where you're wrong. Sylvia," contradicted Heath. "Marcl.t was not ready to do that. I tried her out and she refused. When I told her I should return to her, and asked her In so many words whether she was willing to face shame and public scorn for my sake she turned her back on nie. She could not go to that length." "Are you sure she understood V asked Sylvia, stepping nearer and looking fearlessly Into his eyes. "There Is a shame Man ia never In this world would face for any man; but it Is fed the shame you have Just described. "It Is the shame of wronging an other woman; destroying a home.

Sometimes I myself am careless about It. So Marcia thought" "Of course she did. We both did How were we to know?" Sylvia demanded. "How, Indeed? If an Innocent citizen cannot visit a town without being arrested as a criminal within a week of his arrival, why shouldn't he be married without, his knowledge? Circumstantial evidence can, apparently, work wonders." Then suddenly he threw back his head and laughed. "Bless you, little Sylvia bless you for setting me right. I told you you were a brick nnd you've proved It. Thanks to you, everything Is now straightened out. Here, giv me your hand. How am I to thank you for what you have done? I only hope that young Horatio Fuller of yours realizes what a treasure he Is getting." "lie does. Mr, Heath he does." observed that gentleman, strolling at the same Instant through the door and encircling his tiny bride-to-bwith his arm. "Haven't I traveled half way across this big country of ours to marry her?" "Oh, we're not going to be married yet, Hortie," demurred the girl trying to wrench herself free of the big fellow's hold. we are, my dear, "Certainly Didn't 1 tell you this morning 1 was per- came to get married? fectly serious.

"Looks to me as If you had Mr. Fuller's future prosperity In your hands, Sylvia," Heath said. "I'm iMit doing any worrying,' smiled Horatio. The sentence was cut short by the radio's loudspeaker: "The much sought Long Island gem thief was captured this morning at Ids lodgings In Jersey City. Harris Chalmers, alias .liuiniie O'llani. a paroled prisoner, was taken by the police at his room on IC street. A quantity of loot, to getlier with firearms and the missing Jewels were found concealed In the apartment. The man readily admitted the theft. He has a long prison record." For a second nobody spoke. Then as if prompted by common impulse, the three on the phzza rushed Indoors. Klisha was sitting limply before the radio. "Ild you bear that?" he gasped. "Well, ralher!" Horatio Fuller shouted with a triumphant wave of his hand. it the bealeree?" exploded . "Ain't the astonished sheriff. "That sends the whole case up in the air.

Besides, yon have treated me bke a prince since I've been jour guest." "Whit I can't understand, Mr. Wlnslow, Is why you didn't recognize he was a thoroughbred from ine beginning."

Horatio, pulling at the oars, was unusually earnest, Sylvia turned the ring on her finger reflectively and Stanley Heath looked far out over the water, too deep In thought to be conscious of either of them. When, however, the boat swung Into the channel, Sylvia spoke. "Hortie and I are not coming with you, Mr. Heath," she said. "We will stay behind. Only do. please, promise me one thing. Io not tell Marcia the whole story before we have a chance to hear it. There are ever so many connecting links I am curious beyond words to have you supply." "Such as?' "The jewels in the first place. I can hardly wait to have that mys-- , tery solved." "The Jewels are no mystery at all. I cun satisfy your mind about those here nnd now. They were Her maid Joan's Mrs. Heath's. Corinne, took them nnd disappeared. Soon afterward, purely by accident, I met I'nul Latimer, a friend who lives on Long Island, and during the course of our conversation, lie asked If I knew a good man servant, saying that Julien, their butler, had Just given notice that he was to he married to Corinne, the new parlor maid, and return with her to France. "The woman's name Instantly' caught my attention. "Why shouldn't I do a bit of sleuthing on my own nccouut? "Thus far the detectives Joan and I had hired had made no headway at local Ing the Jewels. "Why shouldn't I have a try at It myself? I got a boat and cruised along to the I.nt liners' at whose house I had frequently stayed, and with the habits of whose household I was familiar. My plan was to arrive early In the morning before the fnnilly was astir and catch the parlormaid alone at her work. "Should she prove to be our Co-- , rlnne, I would boldly confront her with the theft nnd demand the Jewels; If, on the other hand, she turned out to be another person altogether, It would be perfectly easy to explain my presence by falling hack on my acquaintance with I'aul. "Well, my scheme worked to a, dot "I reached the Lntlmers' unobserved ; found Corrlne alone straightening up the library; faced her and demanded the Jewels. "The instant she saw me she knew the game was up, and, without more ado, produced the gems from her pocket, shouldering all" the Maine, "Julien, she protested, knew nothing of the theft. He was a honest man. Should he' be told of what she had done It would end everything between them. She loved him. Indeed It wns because of him she had committed the crime. "It proved they had been engaged some time and long before had ngreed to save their money and Sometime pool It so they might be married and buy a little home In France. "Julien had saved conscientiously; but Corrlne had been extravagant ind let the major part of her earnings slip through her fingers. He was tew nsklng how much she had laid aside and to her consternation she found she had almost nothing. "She was ashamed to face him. "What could she say? "She did not know what Inipulsn prompted her to take the Jewels. She had never stolen before In all her life.
