With both hands he waved aloft his coat, on which was plastered a sheet of "tangle-foot" fly-paper. "Das wass de mean treeck!" he was shouting. "I don'd do de harm wis no mans. I tend mine business, I buy me mine clothes.
He stared dumbly, first at Mr. Czenki, then at Mr. Schultze. There was not even incredulity in the look, only faint amazement that two such well-balanced men should have gone mad at once. At last the German importer turned upon him flatly. "Why don'd you ged egzited aboud id, Laadham?" he demanded. "He iss all righd, nod crazy," he added with whimsical assurance.
"He iss delling you dat dose diamonds are made made like doughnuds, mitoud der hole; manufactured, pud togedher. Don'd you ged id?"

If, as seems probable, this clew develops, it may be that we can place our hands on the diamonds within a few days." "I don'd d'ink I vould yust blace my hands on dem," Mr.
