So they cooked up ) story to account for Miss Manwar- vg and brought her here. And tm- ‘diately, as was quite right and ng. SF yegin with, the insurance peo- pie proved sceptical, largely through Walter's stupidity, “probably next time Walter starts « jolly little conspiracy like this he will realize that it's always a good deal better to tell the truth when- ever he's in doubt. But he didn’t now that, and his lies soon man- ized to get him in a bad fix. You iso there were all of Miss Manwar- 6 old clothes, left in a wash room ihe day of the robbery, still to be accounted for. ‘The servants had found them when they returned to the house, and of course turned them cver to the police who came to In- vestigate. . “The presence of a woman in the house didn't fit in) with Walter's story of the occurrences ai all.

In his emergency Adele went Walter one better in the matter of stupidity. She took Mr. Ueton into her confidence—and, crowning blunder! took his advice. Walter was to come to New Bedford, | secretly hire a motor boat, and be off the harbor here at a certain hour of night. Mr. Lyttleton was to leave the jewels in a designated spot at the 1 foot of the cliffs.
