(By Special Arrangement.—Copyright.) THE STORY OF A ROBBERY. By N. BLUNT. I have frequently been asked to put down in writing the story of a jewel robbers* which set the fashionable world of London aflame with excitement some few years ago. The victim was my mistress, the Countess: Mariford. For fire years I had been in her service, and was treated by her more as a friend than servant. I was the confidante of many a secret; the silent helper in sundry intrigues. The countess was no saint, but she was a generous mistress. I learnt to 1 keep my eyes open or shut as occasion required, and my tongue was a ruly member. It was the recollection of sundry services I had rendered the countess apart from my ordinary duties that heightened my indignation when she gave vent to her suspicions, and hinted that I was an accomplice, if not the actual thief. True, I was the last person known to have handled her ladyship's jewels, so maybe there was some excuse for the injustice to which I was subjected. But now for the etory itself. It was a cold winter's night, and I piled on the logs in the grate of the countess's bed- room-so that she should not shiver during the dressing for the fancy ball to be held at my Lord Fitzgerald's. I spread the brocaded empire gown on the bed, and the firelight made it shine with all manner of tints. I opened the various cases of jewellery ready for inspection. There were diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and pearls, all glittering as if alive. It was a beautiful sight, and my mouth watered for a taste of the great world outside my own. I imagined myself adorned in .satin and diamonds, and wondered why some had eo great possessions—others none. I must have spoken my thoughts aloud. for I was startled by my mistress's voice. "Do not envy, Marie; those baubles do not bring any real happiness. One grows weary I. of display and no result," she said lightly. "Except to be admired, my lady; that is J much to women." I replied. "One tires of that, too. But come, Marie, it. growb late, and I must look my best to-night," saying which she laughed and tossed her ten- guinea hat recklessly on to the empire gown. I laughed, too, for I knew why she must look her best that night. You see I kept my eyes and ears open, and I knew my lady's little secrets well. At last the toilet was complete; the countess stood before her mirror with a smile of ad- miration at the reflection. She was very beautiful, and the satin and jewels glistened in a wonderful way. I think I will do, eb, Marie?" My lady, you will be irresistible, altogether," I replied, and this was not mere flattery. When she had driven away I returned to the bedroom, and after putting things tidy I sank into the lounge chair near the fire, and gave myeelf np to a reverie of society's world as I dreamed it must "be in the inner circle of it. Suddenly I was seized with a wild impulse to dress up in one of the countess's gowns. I chose a pale blue satin. Piling my hair high on my head, I encircled it with a diamond tiara. As I caught my reflection in the glass I uttered a little shriek of delight. There's a head for a crown, and a foot for a shoe." I cried gaily, as I arched my fojot encased in its satin shoe. I dozed knd read until the mistress's return in the early hour of the morning. When I had finished-my duties, and after seeing her ..safely ia bec £ X retired to an adjoining-room and slept soundly. Later, when I entered the countess's apart- ment with the usual cup of tea, I was terrified to see her lying apparently unconscious and with a cloth over her mouth. In haste I tore it away, and by the odour upon it I knew she had been drugged. But why; and by whom ? I never once thought of the jewellery, strange to say. I rang the bell violently, calling loudly for help. Lord Mariford, alarmed at such unusual noise, rushed from his room near by, and soon there was a £ £ Oiu> &f whispering, frightened servants on II tlttYlding. The doctor was telephoned for, I and in a short time my fears were confirmed by him. The countess had been heavily drugged—her life was in danger. Restoratives were applied without delay, and after hours of anxious watching we saw signs of return- ing consciousness. Then did Lord Mariford allow himself to inquire into the reason of the outrage on his wife. Turning to me, he I' inquired abruptly if her ladyship's jewels were intact. I darted to the safe, where I had put them some hours before. As the door sprang back I uttered a scream. Wildly I opened case span ease, to fiad them all empty. "Thought ) so, muttered Lord Mariford, grimly. Even at that terrible moment. and almost stunned as I was by the shock of the discovery, I knew he suspected me and believed I was merely going through a clever piece of acting. From that moment I knew no peace. What with questions and cross-questions, suspicions and oold looks, I was nearly driven frantic. The Countess could relate nothing. She was evidently drugged during sleep, and the thief silently and swiftly did his work—unseen and unheard by any in the house. In vain I pleaded ignorance and innocence, and aVthnujJft nothing, of course, was proved against- me, I quitted the Countess's service under a cloud—and, moreover, was for some considerable time closely watched by the police. I In spite of my annoyance, I often smiled over the sundry attempts of those worthy men to fix the theft on me. Fortunately for me, one of the detectives at Scotland Yard was a friend of mine, and although he agreed that circumstances were against me, he was able to prevent my being unduly irritated. Days passed into weeks and months and still no trace of the real thief. It was two years since the robbery. I was in Paris, acting as travelling maid to an elderly lady. One day I happened to lose my way. and looking about me I espied a group of meji gossiping together. Intending to ask for tife information I needed, I approached. but seeing that they were more inclined, to be familiar, I resolved to tru?t to my own 1 bump of locality and pass them by. There were five men in all. and as I drew nearac J, setw-they were more or less ill-conditioned looking fellows. They stared at me somewhat impertinently as I passed, and one in par- ticular kept his eyes fixed on me. A look of 'I interest swept over his face, and before I had gone out of hearing he said aloud in English There goes a head for a crown and a foot for a shoe." His remark was greeted by a roar of laughter from his companions. But as for Me, I stood quite still, tie if suddenly bereft of all use of my limbs. I heard my OTO Wúros repeated by a stranger, the very words I u&sd on the uight of the Mariford robbery. This man within a few yards of me was the thief. Concealed in the Countess's bedroom, he watched my mad masquerade-,and sa-w where I put the jewels. j E? remgmsed m, as hie words ptwed nA & ? momma ago. What vw-4 t? do? Nojx?M? man was in sight, and being in a side street, the pedestrians were few and far between. The man and his companions were capabl. of violence, I doubted not. I looked back at them. The man who had epoken was glaring in my direction, already doubtless regretting his foolish impulse. By my coming to a sudden standstill he must have known that I, too, remembered the incidents of that mcmora.ble night two years before. How I chafed against, my helplessness, and regretted my sex. Feeling I wae in truth quite powerless, I was only too anxious to get away from the man's savage glare, out of the un- frequented street. T-urniiig quickly round a neighbouring corner, I soon entered one of the principal boulevards. Once, on looking back, I thought I saw a man following me, but as the dusk deepened, and the street lights were lit, I could not be sure. The next day we quitted Paris for London. After ascertaining that my mistress had all she required for the journey, I entered a second-class compartment of the Calais ex- press. I was the only occupant, but just as the train was about to move out of the station someone-a man—dashed hurriedly in. I could not see his face as he turned his back upon me until the train was well on its way. Then he swung round and faced me. To my horror I recognised the man I had seen in Paris the preceding day. He had, indeed, followed me and for some definite pnrpote. As I glanced into hia lace I knew his purpose was an evil one. I re-called the heartless way in which the Countess was drugged, and trembled for my safety. He laughed in a callous fashion as he noted my expreesion. You know who I am," he said, brusquely; "that's why I followed you. You needn't shriek or attempt to pull the cord; if you move another inch I'll kill you." I remained motionless, chilled to the heart by his cruel tones. My eyes were rivetted on a bit of shining steel in his hand. Yes; I'll kill you as soon as steal the next lot of sparkles that fools leave unguarded. This "—pointing to the stc-el implement—" is sharp and filled with poison. You would be dead in a few seconds if I pricked you just once. So keep quiet. 1 want to think what 1.e, do with you." He seated himself opposite me and leaned forward. His knees almost touched mine, and his evil face was within a few inches of me. "What do you want I managed to gasp, endeavouring to conceal my rising tear. Your iSilel100-rn make up my mind pr& sently." Then. to his great amazement, and, indeed, my own also, I burst into a peal of laughter. Tne iron bands of terror were loosened, and a strange recklessness took possesion of me. "Hotr amusing!" I cried. touching his arm with easy familiarity- "Really, it is quite funny. You don't know me. my friend, otherwise you would know yotP had nothing to fear from me. I am as bad as you-and as clever. True, I know you stole the Mariford jewels, but as I am wanted for similar offences, it isn't likely I shall give you awav, is it?" "This is only bluff. You're trying to save your skin," he said, roughly. Perhaps I am not over-anxious to die just yet." I said coolly; "but I'm feiling you the truth. Listen." Lowering my voice, I gave him a recital of many imagined crimes in which I had floured as actual doer or accomplice. He was evi- uftttly impressed by my tales of daring, and as I waxed more eloquent, his eyes gleamed. with admiration of my deeds. To my relief he presently hinted at a partnership. Between us, he reckoned, we might do some big busi- ness. The next moment I saw suspicion crefp. ing into his mind. Why are you going to London, if yon left. because of-" "The Marie Burton who is wanted is not young, moreover she has red hair," I said quickly, doing my best to look as cunning as possible. Although I wais not certain that he was wholly convinced of my unscrupulous character, I was glad to see him put away the steel implement. He questioned me closely concerning my situation, the wealth of my mistress, and the amount of jewels she pos- sessed. Jewels were evidently his chief craze. I replied freely to all his questions, and even hinted at the ease with which a certain dia- mond necklace could be substituted by a false one. Together we entered upon a scheme whereby he and I could enrich ourselves at my mistress's expense. And so the dreadful hours passed. I scarcely dared believe in my good fortune when I found myself on board the steamer bound for Dover. The man disappeared mys- teriously when the train stopped, and for the second time I was thwarted in bringing about his arrest. He had said we should meet again, but when or how I could not tell. The meeting came sooner than I antici- pated, and "X Soubt not that he crossed the Channel in the same boat as I—unseen by me. Whether fife doubted my sincerity, or believed my story sufficiently to cause him to cherish the idea of a partnership I cannot tell. But two days later I met him in Lon- don. I brushed against him in Edgware- road. To my surprise he did not notice me. and a now thought flashed across my brain. I was just opposite a post-office. Darting in, I sent a hurried wire to my detective friend at Scotland Yard. I named a oerta'n coffee- house for a meeting, and put "urgent." My plans were all unripe. I was acting on impulse, trusting to Fate to help me in my desire to secure the notorious thief. Having despatched the i ire, I hurried in the direction the. man had gone. After some Quick walking I espied him across the road- Overtaking him I touched him on the arm. He started violently, then laughed. "Oh. it's you again. Well, what do you want he said. I want your assistance," I replied, promptly. "To-morrow night my mistress will be away. There is n:oney in the house, also valuables. You ur derstand? We can't talk here," he said. o. Come with me. I know of a place where we shall be undisturbed." He glanced at me suspiciously. "And my share in the game? Oh, halves, of course. The risk is eqnaJ for both of us. Detection must be made impossible." My businesslike tones deceived him utterly. He accompanied me without further questioning. Seated in a quiet corner of the coffee-house I named in my telegram, we two plotted and planned how best to rob my mistress. "Gad, you're one in a thousand!" he exclaimed. "You'll make a first-class criminal before long. You don't look like one. and that's in your favour." "Its exciting work." I replied, sipping the coffee I had ordered. To my amazement he suddenly proposed marriage as ? solid seal to our premeditated partnership. I had a great desire to laugh, but controlled myself. It don't seem. to strike you as sensible, eh. pal?" A marriage? Well, you must give me time to think it over," I murmured, glancing anxiously towards the entrance. Would the detectives never come? Must all my scheming end in failure? III just write down a few addresses," he sa'd presently, "but we'll meet again to- ,¡o: :h':uh:Ji l('{t h::ar ofL 1 have a J..V- to do between now and then." I watched hmi neribbie the addrees on a, piece of paper. J felt the interview vrfis at pn crd. and also that my power*, were fading. I ConUi"think of excuse whereby 1 could el for even a few minutes. My bram-was a blank, and speech failed me. In a few moments he would tie Then I eprang to my feet with a cry pljef, forgetting all prudence. In the entrance was my detective friend and two others. My companion heard my sudden exclama- tion, looked up, and saw my face of relief. One quick, furtive glance behind him. and he knew I had betrayed him. His hand moved towards one of his inner pockets. Simultaneously the men in the doorway brought forth revolvers. But the anticipated scene of violence did not take place. I saw my companion's face change, then he feU across the little marble table. "The poisoned steel!" I cried. It was no. Realising his position, he pressed the deadly point into his band, and s.i the thief of the Mariford robbery met his end, trapped by a woman's wit. (The End.)
