“Have you any idea." I asked her.
"why Mrs. Trhmperton-Szmth left
the hotel for her Linda's-party that
night without any jewelry at all?"
She considered to: a moment.
, "Mr. Bioet‘ suggested that she
should take off, her diamonds and
leave them at home}? she answered.
“And did shot";
“Yes!" .
’ “You know that Mr. Bloc: came ‘
hack to the suite?"

is very manic-ting as 'to what time
he paid his visit?" ,
"Yes.—I know that. “Thy shouidn't

"It is an nice." I admitted. “Do
you think that Sidney Bloor is the
man we want?" .
“Why should you imagine that I
would help you if I could?" she.
asked coldly.
“morn the little I have heard a!
lit. Sidney bioer,» I should. have
bolted upon him as a alsoémpoop,‘
very respectable fellow, is prepared
to swear that he saw Sidney illoor
re-enter the suite, even though his
idea of the time seems to be out. As-
suming that the theft took place
then. though. the motive tor the
murder becomes obscure."
“And Mr. Bloor's own story?”
"He came a terrible crapper. sir."
Johnson declared. a. little trium-
phantly. ’ “lie at first stated that he
only left the bridgetable when he
cut out. to get some fresh‘air—that
he leaned over the Wall of the prome-
nade. looking at the sea, the whole
of the time. Afterward he admitted
that he had .visited the hotel and
gone. up for. a moment to Mrs.
frrumperton-Smith‘s suite. where he
thought he had dropped his—cigar:
case." _ "
“The inquest,” I remarked. "has
been adjourned." . ‘ ,
"Till Thursday week. Sir Non
men," the chief constahle told me.
“The evidence given at the inquest -
is at your disposal at any time."
“I have already .. studied it—
thanks." I said. "I should like. it
possible. to have a few words with
the night-porter and With the de-
ceased’s maid." -
