Owston is a little confused, no doubt,” Mr. X. remarked, with a smile. “For some reason he was very curious as to my identity one night [lately.

Who did you think he was?” “Joseph.” 1 declared confidently. I am not mad, Bloor, and I tell you that man is Joseph.” ; He looked at me with a profound dis- belief. “Come and have a drink.

He set it down in front of him upon the desk and drew aside the pur- ple covering with caressing fingers. He | was like a man whose emotions, so clearly reflected in his face. had gen- erated an_almost unendurable physical strain. He sat spellbound, ~gazin drinking in an amazing happiness, com- pletely oblivious to his surroundings, | | crooning gently to himself. His fingers wandered_lovingly over that exquisite surface. The seconds passed into min- utes. Finally, with the tips of his fin- | gers’still resting upon his treasure, he turned toward me. | “Well done, Owston,” he acclaimed. “Well done! When the news came through of the raid, I trembled. You have brought me the last great desire life. Now tell me the story a pretty serious cne, I fear, sir,” I warned him “The beginning of it was all right. Isaacs wanted to bargain. but I handed across the cheque. Tul-Kak parted all right. poor fellow. He saved my life, but they got him this morning. He was found dead in bed, as I dare say you read.” My emplover nodded. | “Joseph kept his word as usual. He swore that. if he dealt ,with me in- stead of him, he should die before he could cash the cheque.” “He had three men to guard him and locked doors. No good! Joseph's men got at him somehow during the raid. They could never believe that I had fought through to the office, and they imagined that I had hidden it in one of the rooms on Tul-Kak's floor. Every- one of them was ransacked last night and torn to pieces.” “They pressed you hard for it?" he muttered, with a sparkle in his eyes. “We had a bit of a scrap in the cor- ridor of the Milan,” I told him. “After- ward we rather fooled them. Isaacs went off with the coffer, which they took from him at the corner of the street. and I reached the office vault, with the statuette in my trousers pocket. Isaacs is all right. by-the-by. I rang him up this morning. They just took the coffer from him and let him go.” “You are a man. Major.” my em- ployer acknowledged tremblingly. I did well when I engaged you. Now what about the raid?> The papers speak of you as making an heroic resistance, and a Mr. Ruben Sams. Who is Ruben Sams?" “Joseph.” Mr. Martin Hews stared at me. “You're laughing, Major.” | I was weary of unbelief, but again | T did my best to combat it. I ex- plained the reasons for my conviction. “They all believe that he was fight- ing for the guests.” I concluded. “Noth- ing of the sort. He was leading on his | |gang. He'd marked down every table where the jewels were worth having, and. under pretext of rushing there to defend the women, he led his men.” “That's ‘& strange story, Major,” Martin Hews commented quietly. “Strange, but it's true,” T answered. fou say that he spoke of my niece?” 1 asked him where she was.

Why run any risks? Why not ship everything to some Southern country—Italy, or somewhere among the quieter spots of the French Riviera. Divide your time betwzen the sunshine and your treasures.” He leaned across the table, “I shouldn't be safe while Joseph was alive. You know his oath? If I got Donkin a and kept the girl here, he swore to steal my treasures, one by one, and then my life. Beatrice is the beginning. I suppose. My Madonna of Deptford followed.

He's beginning to get it in the neck and to get it badly. There are 53 men of his gang under arrest, some in_hospitals, the remainder in prison. Eleven are dead. His organi- zation must be completely shattered The police have combed every house for miles around their old headquarters. Don't you think one of these 53 is likely to squeal?” ‘I don't believe one of them knows.” my employer confided. “They catch a glimpse of the Jossph, who comes stealing down into their midst once or twice a year, from some hidden place in another quarter of the world, per- haps, but I don't believe there's one of them—even among his most trusted lieutenants—who could put his_hand upon him at a given moment. Joseph knows all about them and what they are doing. They know nothing about “How about last night" T demanded “They recognized him the obeyed him.” e Martin Hews smiled cryptically. “If your theory as to Ruben Sams and Joseph being the same man is | correct.” he said, “I can't quite under- stand his being willing to disclose him- self. Presently I will explain why.” There was a tinkle of the bell, and Minchin brought in a bottle and two exquisite Venetian glasses This is Berncastler, Doctor. 40 years old.” my employer told me, holding his gl reverently to the light. “Wines of this character have their beauty, almost like the visible objets d'art.” The wine was the color of pale am- ber, but richer and softer, more deli- cately perfumed than any wine I had ever drunk before. As he poured out his second glass, Martin Hews' oheeks and eyes grew brighter again. “Owston,” he said, “you were right. I said that I should finish with the Buddha, and I shall keep my word. This is my one great succes he went on, caressing the statuette. ‘There is nothing in the world more beautiful than this.

I pocketed the money. 5 “You may hear from Joseph, even though it is for the last time, as soon as he discovers that he hasn't the Buddha,” T warned him. “It has cost me sbmething like five thousand pounds” Martin Hews said, “to make this room impregnable. It is impregnable. No man could possibly enter while I sit at this desk.” “But there are two other doors,” I pointed out He nodded gravely. “Quite right. Now then, about those two other doors. There is only one that need count. The door into my treasure house is of solid iron. It opens only from this side, and it weuld take half a ton of dynamite to blow it up._ As for the second—" He must have touched a button somewhere. for the door rolled slowly open. Upon the threshold stood Huntley, his automatic in his hand. “Quite all right, thank you" his master said, with a nod. “I was only testing the connections.” The man stepped back and the door (To be continued.
