[ (By Special Arrangeme nt.-Gopy right.)'; ITHE STORY OF A! ROBBERY. I I By N. BLUNT. I I have frequently bean asked to put down in writing the story of a jewel robbery which set the fashionable world of London aflame with excitement some few years ago. The victim, was my mistress, the Countess Mariford- For five years I had been in her service, and -was treated by her more as a friend than servant. I tvas the confidante of many a secret; the silent helper in sundry intrigues. The countee3 was no saint, but she wae a generous mistress. I learnt to 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 grave 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 theftlort 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 I 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 ttntE. I opened the various cases of jewellery ready foT inspection. There were diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and pea-rte, 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 possessd-ons—others none. I must have spoken my thoughts aloud. for I was startDed by my mistress's voice. "Do not envy, Marie; those baubles do not bring any real happiness. One grows weary of display --nd mo result," she said lightly. Except to be admired, my la-dy; that is much to women." I replied. "One tires of that, too. But came., Marie, it grows late, and I must look my best to-night," saying which she laughed and tossed her ten- guinea hat reciiessly 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 I in a wonderful way. I think I will do, eh, 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 thiDgs tidy I sank into the lounge chair near the are, and gave myself up 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 govm:- 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 foot encased in its satin shoe. I dozed and read until the mistress's return in the early hour of the morning. When I had finished my duties, and after seeing her safely in bed, I 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 I his room near by, and soon there was a group of whispering, frightened servants on I the landing. The doctor was telephoned for, I and in a short time my fears were confirmed I by him. The conntees had been heavily drugged—her life was in danger. Itestoratives were applied without delay, and after hours I of anxious watching we saw signs of return- ing consciousness. Then did Lord Mariford allow himself to inquire into the reason of I the outrage on his wife. Turning to me, he inquired abruptly if her ladyship's jewels were inta-ct. 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 upon case, to find 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 I going through a clever piece of acting. From thr-t moment I knew no peace. What with [questions and cross-questions, suspicions and I cold 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 although nothing, of course, was proved against me, I quitted the Oounteee's service under a cloudnd, moreover, was for some considerable time closely watched by the police. I In spite of my annoyance. I often smiled I 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 men gossiping together. Intending to ask for the information I needed, I approached, but seeing that they were more inclined to be familiar, I resolvod to trut to my own I bump of locality and pass them by. There were five men in all. and as I drew nearer I I saw they were more or less ill-ccnditioned I looking fellows. They stared at me somewhat impertinently as I passed, and one in par- Iticular kept his eyes fixed on me. A look of interest swept over his face, and before I had I gone out of hearing he said aloud in English: There goes a head for a crown and a foot for a shoe." I Ei3 remark wn? greeted by a roar of laughter from his companions. But as for me, I stood quite still, at- if suddenly bereft of a.ll use of my limbs. I heard my own. woriL? repeated by a frtranger, the very words I used on the night of the Mariford robbery. Thie. man within a few yards of me was the thief. Concealed in the (buntess's bedroom, he watched my mad maflCFOHrajde—and aavr whem I put. the jewete. Ee recognised me, as hie words vroved-notol n--au was in sight, and being in a side street, the pedestrians were few and far between. J The man and his companions were capable of violence, I doubted not. I looked back at «■- them. The man who had spoken was glaring in my direction, already doubtlees regretting $ his foolish impulse. By my coming to a sudden standstill he must have known that I, too, remembered the t incidents of that memorable night two years before. Eow I chafed against my helpleefaeas, í and regretted my sex. Feeling I wee in truth quite powerless, I was only; too anxious to get away from the man's savage glare, out of the un- frequented street. Turning 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 seoond-class compartment of the Calais ex. press. I was the only occupant, but just as -i the train was about to move out of the ■ station eomeone-a man-dashed hurriedly in. I could not see his face as he turned S: 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 eome defini tie purpose. As I glanced into his face 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 expression. 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 steel implement—" is sharp and filled with poison. You would be dead in a few seconds if I pricked you just once. So keep quiet. I want to think what to do with yout." He seated himself opposite me and leaned forward. His knees almost touched mine, and his evil face was within a few inches of me. j What do you want ?" I managed to gasp, endeavouring to conceal my rising fear. i Your silence—I'll make up my mind pro. eent]y." Then, to hie great amazement, and, indeed, my own also, I burst into a peal of laughter. The iron bands of terror were loosened, and a strange recklessness took possession of me. "How amllslrg I cried, touching his arm with easy familiarity. Beally, it is quite funny. You dor't know me. my friend, otherwise you would know you 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 bimilar offences, it isn't likely I shall give you away, is it? "This is (,nly bluff. You're trying to eave your t-kin," he said, roughly. Perhaps I am not over-anxious to die just yet," I said coolly; but I'm felling you the truth. Listen." Lowering my voice, I gave him a recital of many imagined crimes in which I had figured as actual doer cr accomplice. He was evi- dently impressed by my tales of during, and as I waxed more eloquent, his eyes gleamed with-admiration of my deeds. To my relief 'h^'pivmitly hintied at a partnership. Between, us, he reckoned, we might do some big busi- ness. The next moment I saw suspicion creep. ing into his mind. Why are you going to London, if ron Jett. because of-" "The Marie Burton who is wanted is not young, moreover she heA red hair," I said quickly, doing my best to look as cunning am possible. Although I was 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 cruze. I replied freely to all his questions, and even hinted at the ease with which a certain dia- mond necklace could be substituted by » false one. Together we entered upon a scheme whereby he and I could enrich ourselves &t my mistress's expense. And so the dreadful hours passed. I scarcely da-red believe in my good fortune when I found mv 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 I doubt not that he crossed the Cha-nnel in the same boat as I—unseen by me. Whether he doubted my sincerity, or believed my story sufficiently to oauee 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 surprise he did not notice me, and a new 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 certain 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 wire, 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 yam want? he said. "I want your assist a noc," I replied, promptly. "To-morrow night my unstress will be away. There 1" money in the house, also valuables. You understand? We can't talk here," he said. No. Come with me. I know of a plaioe where we shall be undisturbed." He glanced at me sruspiciously. "And my share in the game? Oh, halves, of course. The risk is equal 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." It's exciting work," I replied, sipping the coffee I had ordered. To my amazement he suddenly proposed marriage as a solid eeal 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? I'll jnst write down a few addresses," Le said presently, "but we.n meet again to- morrow i:i;.l:t, vrheu the old lady has cleared off. 1 have a pile to do between now toitl then." I watched him scribble the address on x piece of paper. 1 It-It the interview was at an end, and also that my power? were fading. I could think of no excuse whereby I could detain him for even a few minutes. My brain waf a blank, and speech failed ttl. In a few moments he would be gone. Then 1 sipTang- to my feet with a cry of relief, forgetting all prudence. In the "ehtrance was my detective friend and two others. My companion heard my sndden 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 antietpifed scene of violence did not take place. I par my companions face change, then he feU across the little marble table. "The -poisoned steel!" I cried. It was so.
