the other, of a thousand pounds. It

formal account of the discovery of the
Saxonsteade Jewels which had been fur
nished to the press, at the Duke's re
quest, by Mltchlnston. Olassdale glanced
at It unconcernedly.
'The same," he answered. "But I
didn't call here on that matter though
what I did call about lr certainly rela

any Information that would lead to the
solution of that mystery about Braden

visitor, afterward lighting- one himself.
"And what did Braden want that man

"He wanted to get something of his
own back from a man who'd done him,"
answered Olassdale with a short laugh.
"That's about It I" .
For a minute or two both men smoked
In silence. Then Folllot still regarding
his roses put a leading question.
"Give you any details?"' he asked.
"Enough." said Olassdale. "Braden
had been done over a money transac

head and front of the otTalr and It had
cost him more than anybody would

"You're sure of that?" asked Folllot
"He didn't come here on that account?"
"No. I 'm sure he didn't I" answered
Olassdale, readily. "If he had, I should
have known. I was with him till noon
the day he came here In Iyjndon and

He paused and rve Folllot a meaning;

"Aye what?" asked Folllot
"I think he rrtet at least one of 'em
