M. St.-Ange stood up aghast, and for a moment speechless, at this exhibition of moral heroism; but an artifice was presently hit upon.
He licked his lips and added, "They was beauties an' no mistake." "Big Brazilian gem," he read on. "Eighty thousan' dollars many valuable gems of the first water several thousan' small diamonds well worth forty thousan'." "What you don't know about jools is worth knowin'," Matt smiled good humoredly. "Theory of the sleuths," Jim read.
Hillard ran his hand over his head. The policeman had him here. "I did not bring it out." "Too warm and summery; huh? It don't look good. I've been watchin' these parts fer a leddy. They call her Leddy Lightfinger; an' she has some O' the gents done to a pulp when it comes to liftin' jools an' trinkets. Somebody fergits to lock the front door, an' she finds it out.

"Why," he said with some hauteur, "in the ordinary course of business I should hardly waste time over a small crib like " "It's banks fer his," murmured Spike, rapturously. "He eats dem alive. An' jools from duchesses."

"No! Posson Jone'." "You're bound to win?" said the parson, wavering. "Mais certainement! But it is not to win that I want;'tis me conscien' me honor!" "Well, Jools, I hope I'm not a-doin' no wrong.
"Boss, what's doin' here? Put me next to de game. Is it de old lay? Banks an' jools from duchesses? You'll be able to let me sit in at de game, won't you?" Jimmy laughed. "I'd quite forgotten I hadn't told you about myself, Spike. I've retired." The horrid truth sank slowly into the other's mind. "Say! What's dat, boss? You're cuttin' it out?" "That's it. Absolutely."

Snatching the lamp from his hand, old Meerta now led the party to a remote corner of the cave, where a number of large casks were ranged at one end, and covered with a sheet of leather. "Ha! ha!" laughed their wild guide, in a sort of screech, "here be de grandest jools, de finest dimunds of all, what buys all de rest!"
