I., sir, " . 1 tllHH.-flur loi-li (of criminal hwsti.tinn (Icnaftmt'tit) tc Mr, Stein, the well-known tliamontl merchant, "if you are nervous about the safety of your valuables, the best thin you e;;n d.i is to act upon the 1 'llowin;,' tuiviee: As to the strung room at your oi'iiee, Keep on your watch chain a buneh of dummy keys for orna ment (s i t o sjicak), and deposit the true keys at your banker's every after noon; put a K'ood safe in your study at home, but any diamonds you may take to that house may be kept in a dummy champagne bottle in y.mr cellar there; get a secret electric alarm-pusli de signed and fixed in your private resi dence, and another at your office both of tiic.n commur.icatiiiL,' with the near est police station; and lastly, never, on ny account, take a revolver about with you or you're a dead man before you jret it '.it further than the flap of your pocket." Mr. Stein thanked the detective, and promised to act upon his advice in every farticular. The circumstances which pave rise to this conversation were these; Mr. Stein, a diamond merchant of high itandin', was e.v.vetincr the arrival of a lare parcel of valuable cut frems fro;:i Amsterdam, He bad been warned several times by friends, and even by the ttuth rltics Scotland Yard, that his precautions against 'wn robbed were absurdly inadequate. No man in Ids senses would allow it to become no t.rliiis that he .i".eu carried parcels of v..'uable -ft-.n-i on his person, and sume times merely lo.-ked them up ia i trumpery ntuo o;ti-iasinonea sale in the study of his villa at Norwood a house standing alone in its own grounds, and at a considerable distance from the nearest police station a home shared with li;m by no one but an old housekeeper. Mr. Stein crmcluded, after awhile, that these remonstrances were not al together idle, and he therefore con. suited the best authority upon the sub ject natueiy, inspector Burleigh, whose advice opens this story. "If yon make a sound, I'll shoot. such was the pleasant intimation that fell upen Mr. Stein's ears as he awoke one nitfht from his beauty sleep. It was a stormy u inter niijht, and the rain beat spitefully upon the window panes. Mr. Stein mijfht have shouted himself hoarse, and uo one could pos sibly have heard him. Jlis housekeeper was aOsent, having been called to the sick-bed of a relative. Mr. Men tried t.j realize the situa- xton, as (tutcKiy as Ills sleepy senses would permit, lie could see very little arountl him, but he was soon aware that the voice was that of a masked man, leaning over him, revolver in nana, a seconii man was examining me room rapidly, by tae aid of a bull's, eye lantern. "We've got you fairly at last, eh, old Stein'" "What do you want?" inquired the diamond-merchant, nervously. "What do we want? That's pood! Now, look here, Stein: when you left your oilice this afternoon you went to the post oilier at llolbern, and you asked for a registered p.icketand they handed you tt fat parcel o' diamonds You put Vm in your breast-pocket and comu ttraiyhl bom V'nu'y0 Ui,t n.vu mlt since; so the diamonds aren't far off. So much for your littlu business." "How on earth," gasped Mr. Stein, "do vou know nil this?" "That' s our littlu business! And now, if you please, Where's the diamonds?" "Gentlemen," replied Mr. stein, "you have caught tno very cleverly. You in sist on liavinp my diamonds or my life. I have no particular wish to die yet, and resistance on my part I can see would be perfectly useless. I will ajrree w Help you; that is to say, I will en gape to put you in possession of tha packet you are in search of, which Is carefully hidden, and of anything else of value which yon may require in my noose upon one condition." "Well, whnt is it?" "Hy condition is that you promise to cro: Crus.siL I ,!.: 1 ..'. i 1 II .. X.--. -r : N.-. ; DM Iv Vn-.,L TN'H'.i !"

'Oh. is that all'.' You can keep the old lady. She'd only lie in our way." "Thank yon. Then here is the key of the safe in my study; but you won't lind unythin;,' there, llelieve me, there in nothing in the safe, except the por trait of my enuidiiiothcr." "Now, you jttst come alone;, Stein," faid the burglar in chief. "We'll soon see what's in lite safe. And, mind first sipn of any nonsense and I'll shoot sure as tnv name is " .Mr. Stein huddled on some clothes and all three descended to the study. The safe was in front of them. The key was soon applied to the lock, and the safe was opened. As Mr. Stein had said, there was absolutely nothing whatever inside, except the miniature. "I told you so!" sa'ui Mr. Stein, re proachfully. The two robbers cursed and swore, liill took the miniature olf the pep it occupied in the sate and put it in his pocket. Stein shouldn't have the por trait, he said, till lie fiillilled his prom ise about the diamonds. "I am iiuite ready to keep my prom ise," said Mr. Stein. "Follow t.te, and I will show you where the diamonds are." Ilohlim; a candl" before him, he led the way to the cellar. The cellar door was unlocked and they all entered. "Don't see any diamonds here," com plained the chief villain. "Out with them. Stein, ami look smart about it!" The merchant reached his hand out to the back of a bin and drew forth, ap parently, a nia;rnum of Moet & Chan dons imperial sec. 'Here you are, pentlemenl" he said, unserewinp tno neeli ol tneiaise oottie. ind disclosing to their astonished pazo the packet of diamonds within. "Did I not promise?" "Good business eh, Hill? Stein, my bov, you're a trump! Are all the other ntatrnums here champapne, or only dia monds?" The merchant laitphed. "There are no more diamonds, tie said. ion can see for yourselves. Hut if you will brin up a tnairnum of champapne with you, we 11 broach it to your good 'health." The men ajrreed, and they took lasses out of the pantry on their way up. "Haven't you a friend in the garden outside?" inquired Mr. Stein, with a laugh, "( all him in; we may as well nil drink together." And he opened the Moet and began pouring it out. Hill went to the front door, and passed a signal to the accomplice watching without, who promptly joined the party and took his glass, as invited. All the three wore masks; they were safe from the chance of recognition. The magnum of champagne was soon dis posed of, and Mr. Stein generously of fered to "stand another." The offer, however, was refused. "No, Stein, ray boy! That little game won't do! We like your fiz, but we like your diamonds better!" "ISesidcs, we've got to tie you up," interposed Hill. "Tie me up! What for?" "Just a little precaution, Stein, only a bit o' rope round your wrists, and an other bit round your tinkles, and a handkereher over your mouth. We're sorry to inconvenience you, but busi ness is business." And they proceeded accordingly. Having tied and gagged the unfor tunate diamond merchant, they hade him good night, and wished him luck in future. They were on the point of "III. Ill: VOU Alti:. OKMLKMES." ilepr.rtir.g when they ohsen-ed that their victim was greatly distressed ahoiit Mimething. "Why, hang it all! if we weren't go ing t i take off his gramlmother, after all Hill, .yon thief, put it Lack!" Hill did so, mid Mr. Stein's distress i sm.' to an end. '(iood-hv, istein!"
