want money.
Ages 14 to 19 years, fine suits, former prices $8, $10 and $12, all go now for one price of $5.00 each. FOR

TWO HUNDRED CHILDREN'S SUITS
Go at $2.00 each, CASH. Formerly sold for $3, $4, $4.50 and $5. This is deep cut and far below the cost of
the suits and they should move quickly. That is whv we have put these prices on. : We need the room for
spring goods. We also want the money.

I suppose nobody has forKOttpn the
real Muiichemer Hwlndlp, when Jonax
Mears and Theodore Allcock managed
to abscond with twenty thousand
pounds of their employers' and bolted
Hean across the Atlantic before we
could get on their trull. It took me
nix weeks of my time .and a regular
chase and no mistake before I ran the
two' scoundrel to earth in Chicago,

as Kngllsh lords. However. I succeeded
In catching their lordships, and I didn't

1 had brought Messrs. Mears and A II-
cock back safe to their native country
and delivered them over to the proper
aumorities, ana l t nought 1 had earned
a lew days' rest. We hud had a wretched
passage across, with head winds against
lis eight days out of the ten, and, my
duty done, 1 thought with keen satis
faction of my little place at Fullium
ana my own comfortable feather bed
and my wife waiting; to welcome me
home with a tasty little supper.
The reality was as good as the antici
pation. It was a beastly autumn after
noon, with a drlvinff rain and a cold
southwest wind, but the cottage looked
bright and cozy and warm, and Nancy
Wa as red as a peony from pleasure at
keeink me.
It was early when I reached home, not
more than Ave o'clock, but I was a reg
ular beat, and when I had had my din
ner of tripe and onions I felt good for
nothing but to go to bed and sleep. I
wan neither fit to talk nor think. 1
couldn't keep my eyes open, and my
wife's chatter sounded like a confused
medley of sound. I couldn't even relish
. pipe, but took a drop of Scotch hot
and staggered up to .my own room.
Whatever you do, my dear," I said
to Nancy, "don't disturb me tilt you
hear I'm awake again, for I've got sev
eral nights' rest to make up. I'll lock
my door, and don't come up till I un
lock: It unless, indeed, 'tis something
very partlcular.like a message from the
chief, or such like."
"Lor", Jark!" exclaimen Nancy

diminutive of my name she always
pronounces it as If she were a jackdaw,

"I.orT Jark! he'd never he sending
after you no soon us this, and you Just

think no more of such foolishnexs!"
"Nancy," 1 replied, "the business of
the state must be attended to, at any
cost. I don't expect unythlng of the
sort, but if a wire should arrive I must
have it without delay."
"Drat the state!' cried Nancy, "it
don't ny you over and above so tinich
that it Iiiih any call to rob you of your
natural rewt. !o to sleep, John Itiisby,

flee, and the dignity of my employers.
She is always "dratting" the govern
ment, and "blowing" the superintend
ent of police. In a manner which would
cost me my appointment if overheard,
but she in a good wife to me and she
means well. I sunoose it is hard
on a woman to have her husband called
away at all manner of times, and never
to know when to expect him back
again. But I had no inclination to ar
gue the matter then. I crawled up
stairs to my bedroom and was soon be
tween the blankets, sunk in a profound
slumber bo profound that I became
utterly unconscious to all external
things, and had not even the power to
dream. It seemed as if I had been
sleeping- for hours, or days, when I was
rousea rjy tne sound of an uncertain
tapping1 on my bedroom door, and an
apologetic voice, calling In a loud whis
per: "Jark!", As soon as I became suf
ficiently conscious to recogntee the
voice, I was sure of something of Im
portance must have occurred, and was
on the alert In a moment, for we de
tectives learn to sleep with our ears
open.
"What Is It, "Nancy?" I exclaimed,
hurrying- to open the door. My wife
was half-crying- outside It, with a yel
low envelope In her hand.
"O, Jark!" nhe said, "there's a nasty
telegram come for you, and I wouldn't
have let you see it for ever so, only I
was afraid you might be angry with
me, but however they can have the
tart to do It"

"Here! give me the tnessogp at once,"
I said, and she handed it to me. i tore

pink pai-r, on which was written:
Important robbery at The Gables,
MatiiiiiiKloi'd. Travel down by mall

"Whut time is it, Nancy?" I usked,
as 1 hurried on my clothes again.
"Just gone ten. liut. O, Jark!
you're never going to xtart on auain
when 1 haven't no more than seen your
face!" said the poor woman, crying. .
"Well, It looks like It. Nan. but It
Isn't my fault, as you well know. I'd
be glad enough to spend a few quiet
days with you, but buxincsH Is busi
ness, my dear, and the state claims my
first attention."
"U! dunK the slate!" exclaimed
Nancy, angrily. "Why can't it keep
more detective officers. I should like to
know, instead of working them as it
has, to skin and bone?"
"Yes! yea! but never mind Just
now: but tt-t me out my other suit.

this one, and it must go- lo the cleaner's.

"And how long will you be gone.

her hastily. Jumped into the hansom,
told the driver to go as if the old man
were nfter him, and HtarttU for Scot

"I was sorry to have you up ana In
so soon. Busby," said the Inspector,
"but there's no .help for It! Just had
information from Man pine-ford to send
down the sharpest detective we have,

This compliment from our inspector.

who in no llatterer as a rule, pleased
me very much, and 1 felt the strength
of a lion rise in me at his words. 1
fancy I got a bit red, as 1 uiiswered:
"Thank you kindly, sir! I suppose
the buHtnesa Is of importance!"
"Every importance! Property to
the amount of thirty thousand pounds
missing', under circumstances which
seem to point to however. I shall leave
you to find out that for yourself! You
may be detained some days In The
Gables; Indeed, you are sure to be.
Are you prepared for It ?"
"I can write to Mrs. busby for what
I may require, sir." I replied. "May I
ask on whose information we are act

father died only last week was
burled yesterday the Jewels found
missing after the reading of the will.
He Bays they are of fubulous value,
and a family heirloom."
"All the better," I said, "they will be
the more easily traced. They won't
give me so much trouble as Messrs.
Mears and Allcock's gold nnd silver did.
Stones can't be melted clown Into
lumps of ore!"
"Ah! Busby," the Inspector was good
enough to say for the second time,
"that was a sharp piece of work anil
it won't be forgotten! You'll reach
Manningford about five o'clock, so you
had better put up at a hotel till you've
had your breakfast, then off to The
Oable as soon as may be!"
"Very good, sir! I'll start at once,
and wire you all particulars as soon
as I've heard them. And if I require
assistance. I'll have Crewe, if you're
willing. He has the coolest head, I
know!"
"After your own, Busby!" said the
Inspector, laughing, and I thanked him
again, and started on my Journey. It
was November, and the nights were bit
terly cold. I wrapped myself up well
In my rug. and leaning back In a corner
of the railway carriage, tried to resume
my broken slumbers, but It was useless,
I had been too thoroughly roused.
When I arrived at the Manningford
hotel, I sat In one corner of the office
room till It was light enough to have
my breakfast. By that time several
customers, chiefly travelers, were down
also, and two or three outsiders had
strayed In to warm themselves with a
cup of tea or coffee before they started
on their day's work. I soon found that
the mysterious robbery at The Gables
was the general topic of conversation.
"But It's quite incomprehensible!"

sound In the old baronet's bedroom a
week before he died, for Rachel Marks
aw them with her own eyes! And no
one entered the room till after, and then
only the undertaken!"

"Ah! them undertakers!" exclaimed
another man. "I wouldn't trust them
any further than I could see 'em! Why!
I remember when my mother died, and
they was left In the room to lay her in
her coffin, there wasn't a pin left In the
cushion the next morning, und the very
noup was took out of the soapillsh, for
fee b"ard my sister say so a score o'
times."
"Them Jewels was worth a nower of
money," Interposed a third. ''The old
gentleman he got them from the king of
the Ingles, and they was valued at a
million pounds!"
"He stole them, most likely." said
the rti'Bt speaker. "It was in the days
of old John Company, when the British
ers stole right and left; 'loot,' they
called It, but it came to the same thing!
And now, you see, this is what they
calls u Nemesis! They've lost them
again! Lor! It won't be for long! Sir
Charles he have telegraphed for a de
tective from Loudon, and all the ser
vants ure forbid lo leave the house till

out my lady's skirts, instead. That's
where the jewels Is tfone. She was al
ways mad to get Ym, and mad against
the young baronet, and she has 'em,
you may take my word for it! Ah!
there's no artfulness to beat the aitful

said, the other man, as though he had
cause to know It.
