CHAPTER IL
"WATCH HIM!"
"You know how such things are man
aged in a sleepy town like EHenville,"
continued Dr. Maidhoff. "I have been
a practicing physiciiin here for more
than 20 years, and this is the first in
stance of a burglary that I have known.
I informed the chief constable, and," he
added with a smile, "he went through
a certain investigation, looking exceed
ingly solemn and wise all the time, with
the result of declaring that the crime had
been committed by some person or rer-
Gonsjmknown.
"What of t,hose supposed East Indians?"
V'Theytwere traced to the adjqining
village of Meadmore, arrested and sub
jected to an examination. n ,
, "With what result?"
"NflA If they were the guilty parties,
of course they were cunning enough to
hide the ruby beyond all possibility of
its being traced." ; v
"They certainly had every opportunity
to do so." - . . ; ,
The interview between the detective
and physician had progressed far enough
for ; the former to see tbat prodigious
blundering had marked every step on
the ' part of the authorities, even if it
could be conceded that any steps at all
had been taken. The fact that Miss
Livermore kept such exceedinelv valu
able jewels in a safe in her own house
was a standing invitation for desperate
. "1 to make just such a visit
as had

uavip i!cu siuncienuy secure to resist a
regiment of soldiers,-and yet so long as
she of necessity possessed the secret of
the combination it could be obtained on
demand precisely as it had been obtained.
"Respecting the niece of the deceased.
Miss Gilder, where i she?"
"She was visiting among her relatives
at Warharapton when she received my
telegram summoning her to her aunt's
bedside. She responded at once, but of
course did not arrive until some hours
after her death. She and Mr. Fairchild
were at the funeral."
"Who is Mr. FairchildT
"A young lawyer in this place."
Y. 1 m- iv .
i here must have been a good many
others at the funeral Why do you refer
to him by name?"
(.- "It is genti-ally considered that he will
soon become the husband of Miss Gil
der." ; ' v ;
TDo yoa know such to be the fact?"
J 1 am not honored with the confidence
of Mr. Fairchild."
'Nor with that of Miss Gilder?" c
, "Not to the extent that your question
would imply."
I "What will be done with the home
and the projerty left by the late Miss
Livermore?"
'We shall be governed by the instruc
tions -ontHinel in tl orill Tl,.j ,11,..
. ------ ...... ,i u , uiiv a
Mas matter; of course." - -
DeSecti vc Manson was quick to notice
the use of the pronoun. It came in the
I nature o alrevelation to him.. :
'4 nen you are one of the executors?"
The physician inclined hi3 head. He
was now quite cool and self possessed.
The two gentlemen looked at each other
from behind their respective clouds of
tobacco smoke and talked as though they
had been acquainted for years.
V no is the other executor?"
'Pardgame, Mr. Manson. but
it
strikes me that our questions are taking
a singular line.
"And you will pardon me, doctor, if
tney seem to be objectionable."
.T 1 .1 1 n .
1 wuum uaruty put it as strong as
that. JThe information you ask could be
readily obtained elsewhere, and it would
be rude in me to refuse it. It was onlv
that I failed to see jthe bearing of the
knowledge y-n seek. Mr. Aaron Birchett.
ff n elderly gentleman and a lawyer, who
f ias spent al1 his life in Ellenville. is the
ouier executor of the estate.
"The late Miss Livermore having been
Jraried. I presume the will has been
"read?". , .
"Yes, but not j-et mlmitted to pro
bate. , Would you like to know its pro
visions?"' . .- ; ,
"1 confess to some curiosity in that
direction."
The late Miss Livermore had no near
elatives excepting her niece. Miss
Gilder. She seems to hiive rwm m.
tranged from all liesides her. What more
natural, therefore, than that she should
have willed every thing to Miss Evelyn
Gilder-"
"Including the diamonds and the ra
jah's ruby?"
"Including them. It makes Miss
Gilder quite indej)endent. for, leaving
the jewels out of the question, the prop
erty will amount to close upon $250,000."
"Miss Gilder i a laly to be con
gratulated, and from what I have heard
of her Mr. - Fairchild will be an exceed
ingly fortunate man." - r
"That cannot be disputed, provided
ne wms ner nana. ' -v
"You speak as though there is doubt
in. the matter."
"Life is made up of doubts, and there
is nothing certain in this world except
death, which is the most uncertain of all
things." j '
At this juncture the office bell nf rr
Maidhoff tinkled, and excusing him
self he arose to answer it To do so he
was obliged' to step without unon tho
side porch. Instead of closing the door
behind him while speaking to his patient
as delicacy ought to have required in or-
uer to prevent the words of the caller
from being overheard, he held it partly
open, btandmg thus his slight figure was
in plain sight of Manson. who for the samp
"eason remained in the dor-t-nr'a fioii t
Vision. Not only that, but the physician
fept his head partly turned, so that his
Visitor could not make
bein r seen.
Detective Manson smiled irrindv nml
reflected:
We are
enemies, but all the same 1
about 10 minutes in whir-h
would like
to go through some of the drawers and
bookcases over there." :
The doctor spent but a minute nrtn
talking with the man who was in rmt
of his professional services. He turned
about, and without sitting down again
oegan preparations for going out.

"That is one of the penalties of popu
larity and skill, replied the detective,
with much heartiness, as he arose to his
feet, vl am very much obliged to you
for your kindness and shall not fail to let
Mr. Varick know of your courtesy."
"It is not worth mentioning, said the
doctor, drawing on his gloves. "May I
ask how the matter strikes yon?
Detective Manson shook bis head dis
paragingly. -
"Why didn't the chief let . mo go on
home to the bosom of my family instead
of sending me on such a wild goose chase
as this?" j,-.-..
."Is that the question which you will
ask Chief Varick? inquired Dr. Maid
hoff, with a laugh. .
. "Will it not be the question which he
will ask himself when he has all the facts
before him?" ; ; . . . . ,
"I am inclined to think yon are right,
though of course everything possible will
be done to trace the ruby, which is a for
tune in itself. What a pity that after
such a varied history it should become
the prey of an ordinary honsereakerP

. As some tune must elapse before he
could expect a reply, he inquired the way
to tne omce or tawyer Birchett It was
on the main and indeed only street of
Ellenville, and he found it without diffi
culty, a small, dingy, place, known to
every person who had ever spent a few
hours in the town. Although the even
ing was well along, and he supposed the
old gentleman was at home with his
family, he was pleased to find him with
in and alone busy over some legal papers.
Mr. Manson did not deem it best to
present liunself to tho old man in the
character of a detective, though he came
near doing so when he stated that he
was an officer from New York, who, be
ing in the neighborhood and hearing of
the robbery of the late Miss Livermore,
had called to learn whether he could be
of any help in tracing the criminals.
Mr. Birchett scanned him closely over
the top of his spectacles before he made
deliberate answer: ' '. "

"It was a great mistake," replied the

his fingers while he looked thoughtfully
to the cobwebs on the ceiling. "I re

On his return to the hotel he called at

HK WAS NOT DISTURBED-.
Detective Manson believed there was
a good deal yet to be learned about the
rajah's ruby. At the same time he waa
also "convinced that he had picked up a

eviuence. . .
remaps he was wrong. , Indeed it
was more than likely that he was in a
lair way to commit several blunders if
he had not already done so. The man
of infallible judgment is" yet 'to appear.
"The simple fact as 1 view it," he
wrote to Chief Varick. "is that Miss
Livermore waa robled of an exceedingly
valuable jewel and diet! a few hours
later from the 6hock. General suspicion
points to the. two East Indians who were
seen in Ellenville about the lime of the

come of tin ir own accord from the other

Asiatics are capable of any crime to se--cure
such a gem. and so are other people.
"But just now ' the most suspicious
person to me is Dr. Henry Maidhoff. Ee
is shrewd and cunning, and while pre
tending to help is doing all he can to
baffle me in my attempt to trace the
ruby. He would not do so without
reason. " ,., . .
"Dr. Maidhoff was the only ierson
who was with Miss Livermore when she

gem. where it was kept, and more than
uKeiy ne possessed the combination to
the safe. Suppose he stole it. I Noti nf
his acijuaintances would suspect him.
and therefore he incurred little risk."
The field of investigation expanded al
most infinitely before Manson, and a
score of theories" presented themselves,
upon any one of which an apparently
stable structnre could have been reared.
It would have been a violent strain to
one's fancy to suppose that this trusted
physician had deliberately planned the
death of Miss Livermore for the purpose
of securing the ruby. It might be that
he was in league with the East Indians
who, coming almost! from the antipodes

of their own country, had read the phy
