j (By Special Arrangement.—Copyright.) THE STORY OF A ROBBERY. By N. BLUNT. I have fieQnently been a-ked 10 put down in writing the story of a jewel robbery which set the fashionable world of London afiame with excitement some few years ago. The victim was my mistres?. the Countess Mariford. For five years I had been in her service, and was treated by her more friend than servant. I was the confidante of many a secret; the silent helper in sundry intrigues. The countess was no saint, br.t she was a -generous mistress. I learnt to keep my eyes open or shut as occasion required, and my ton cue was a ruly member. It was the recollection of euridrv services I had rendered the countess apart from ordinary duties that heightened my indignation wr-en bbe gave vent to her S suspicions, and hinted that I was an accomplice, if not the actual thief. True, I was the last person kjiown to have handled her ladyship's jewels, so maybe there wat some excuse for the injustice to which I j was subjected. But now lor the stury itself. It was a cold winter's night, and I piled on the logs in the grate of the countess's bed- room So that she should not shiver during- the dressing for the fancy ball to be held at my Lord Fitzgerald's. I spread the brocaded empire gown on the bed, and the firelight made it shine with all manner of tints. I opened the various cases of jewellery ready for inspection. There were diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and pearls, all glittering as if alive. It was a beautiful sight, and my mouth watered for a taste of the great world outside my own. I imagined myself adorned in eatin and diamonds, and wondered why scmc had so great posses si ont—others none. I must have spoken my thoughts aloud, for I was startled by my mistress's voice. "Do not envy, jfarie; those baubles do not bring any real happiness. One grows weary j cf display aad no result." she said lightly. "Except to be admired, my lady; that is much to women. I replied. "One tires of that, too. But come, Mario, it grows la.te. and I must looli my best to-night,' saying which she laughed and tossed her ten- guinea hat recklessly on to the empire goven. I laughed, too. for I knew why she must look her beet that night. You see I kept my eyes and ears open. .nd I knew my lady c eyes and ears oven, -Dd 1 knew my hHl. little secrets well. At la-et the toilet was complete; the count ess stood before her mirror with a smile of ad- miration at the reflection. She was very beautiful, and the satin and jewels glistened in a wonderful way. "I think I will do. eh, Marier" Mj~ lady. you will be irresistible, altogether." I replied, and this was not mere flattery. When she had driven away I returned t-o the bedroom, and after putting things tià- I ank into the lounge chair near the fire, and gave myself up to a reverie of society's world as I dreamed it must be in the inner circle of it. Suddenly I was seized with a wild impulse to dress up in one of the countess's gowns. I chcse a pale blue satin. Piling my hair high on my head, I encircled it with a diamond tiara. As I caught my reflection in the glass I uttered a little shriek of delight. There's a head for a crown. and a foot for a ,hoe." I cried gaily, as I arched my foot encased I in its satin shoe. I dozed and read until the mistress's rsturn .in the early hour of the morning. When I had finished my duties, and after seeing her safely in bed. I retired to an adjoining roam and slept soundly. Later, when I entered the countess's apart- ment with the usual cup of tea. I was terrified to see her lying apparently unconscious and with a cloth over her month. In haste I tore it away, and by the odour upon it I knew she had been drugged. But why; and by whom? I never once thought of the jewellery, strange to bay. I rang the bell violently. calling loudly for help. Lord Mariford. I alarmed at such unusual noise, rushed from his room near by. and soon there was a I group of whispering, frightened servants on the landing. The doctor was telephonedttor, and in a short time my fears were confirmed by him. The counters had been heavily drugged—her life was in danger. Restoratives were applied without delay, and after hours I of anxious watching we saw signs of return- ing consciousness. Then did lord Marifcrd I allow himself 10 inquire imo the rea-son of the outrage on his wife. Turning to me, he inquired abruptly if her ladyship's jewels were intact. I darted to the safe. where I had put them some hours before. As the dgot-tprang back I uttered a scream. Wildly I opened cawe j upon Cdse. to find them all empty. "Thought so," muttered Lord Mariford. grimly. Even at that terrible moment. and almost stunned as 1 wan by the shock of the discovery, I knew he suspected me and believed I was merely going through a clever piece of acting. From that moment I knew no peace. What with questions and cross-questions, suspicions and cold looks, I was nearly driven frantic. The Countess could relate nothing. She was evidently drugged during sleep, and the thief silently and swiftly did his work—unseen and unheard by any in the house. In vain I pleaded ignorance and innocence, and although nothing, of course, was proved against me. I quitted the Conn test's service under a cloud—and, moreover, was for eome considerable time closely watched by the police. In spite of my annoyance, I often smiled over the sundry attempts of those worthy men to fix the theft on me. Fortunately for me, one of the detectives at Scotland Yard wae a friend of mine. and although he agreed that circumstances were against me. he was able to prevent my being unduly irritated. Days passed into weeks and months and still no trace of the real thief. It was two years since the robbery. I was in Paris, acting ae travelling maid to an elderly lady. One day I happened to lose my way, and looking about me I espied a group of men gossiping together. Intending to a!i for the information I needed, I approached. hut seeing that they were more inclircd,tf) be far-iliar, I resolved to frost to my aivii bump of locality and pass them by. There were five men in all, and as I drew nearer I saw they were more or less ill-conditioned looking fellows. They stared at me somewhat impertinently as I passed, and one in par- ticular kept his eyes fixed on me. A look of interest swept over his face, and before I had gone out of hearing he said aloud in English There goes a head for a crown and a foot for a shoe." His remark was greeted by a roar of laughter from his companions. But as for me, I stood quite still, a.s if suddenly bereft of all use of my limbe. I heard my own woi-dg- repeated by a sirajigei*, the very words I used on the night of the Mariford robbery. This man within a few yprds of me was the thief. Concealed in the Connteas's bedroom, he watched my mad masquerade-and saw where I put the jewels. He rewgnised mv. at his words proved not a. mo £ uexrt~aeQ. WhaA was I JLO Qo .No. poliot-, rinn was in sight, aud. being in a ::1.(1e .tr\(::t., the padestrians few and far between. The man and his companions were capable of violence. I doubted not. 1 looked back afc them. The man who had s>pnk-3n TO glaring in my direction, already dnubtle-:? regretting his foolish impulse. By my coming to a sudden standstill be must have known that 1. too, remembered the incidents of that memorable right two years before. How I chafed against my helplessness, lld regretted n:y ses. Feeling I was in truth quite powerless. 1 was only too anxious to get away from the man's savage glare, out of the un- frequented street. Turning quickly round a neighbouring corner. I soon entered one of the principal boulevards. Once. <1; Jookins back, I thought I saw a man following nie, but as the dusk deepened, arid the-reat lights were lit, I could not be sure. The next day v.e quitted Paris for London. Alter ascertaining that my mistress had all she required for the journey, I entered a secoud-cla^s compartment < f the Calais ex- press. I was the only occupant, hut just aa the train was aJut to move out of the station someone—a n an—clashed humadly in. I could not see liis face as lie turned ]li back upon me until the t'ain wa?

"How amusing:" I cried, touching his arm with easy familiarity. Ueaily. it is quite funny. You don't know me. my friend, otherwise you would know you had nothing to fear from me.

I ii;ui rlx?ital  f Lowering my vo.ce. I gave him a recital "r many imagined crimes in which I had figured as actual doer or accomplice. He was evi- dently impressed by my tales of daring, and as I waxed more eloquent, his eyes gieatned with acimiration of my deeds. To my relief he presently hinted at a partnership. Between us. he reckoned, we might do some big busi- ness. The next moment I saw suspicion cr0èp- ing into his mind. Why are you going London, if you left because of-" "The Marie Burton who is wanted is not young, moreover she has red hair," I said quickly, doing my best to look ae cunning aa possible. Alfhoug-h I was not certain that h was wholly convince! of my unscrupulous character, I was glad to see him put steel implement. He questioned me closely concerning my situation, the wealth of my mistress, and the amount oi jewel* she pos- sessed. Jewels were evidently his chief erase. I replied freely to all his questions, and eveu hinted at the ease with which a certain dia- mond necklace could be substituted by a fake one. Together we catered upon a scheme whereby be and I cculd enrich ourselves at my mistress's expense. And so the di-eadful hours passed. I scarcely dared believe in my good fortune when I found myself on board the steamer bound for Dover. The man disappeared mys- teriously when the train stopped, and for the second time I was thwarted in bringing about his arrest. He had said we should meet again, bui when or how I could ];ot tell. The meeting came tsooner than I antici- pated. and I doubt not that he crossed the Channel in the same boat as I—unseen by me. Whether he doubted my sincerity, or believed my story sufficiently to cause him io cherish the idea of a partnership I cannot tell. But two days later I met him in Lon- don. 1 brushed against him in Edgwats- road. To my surprise he did not notice me. and a new thought flashed across my brain, I ? n? just opposite a p.o:stffice. Darting in, I kent hurried wire to my detective friend at Scotland Yard. 1 i-ai.cd a c(,i,tnin house for a meeting, and put "uig-c My plans were all unripe. I was acting on impulse, trusting to Fate to help me in my desire to secure the notorious thief. Having despatched the wire, I hur-ieti in the direction ihe nl;m bad gone. After some quick walking I espied him across the road. Overtaking him I touched him on the arm. He started violently, then laughed. Oil. it'<; you again. Well, what do you wan'L? he said.

Detection must be made impossible." My businesslike tones deceived him utterly. He accompanied me without- further questioning. Seated in a quiet corner of the cuffee-house I nailed in my telegram, we two plotted and planned how best tc rob my mistress. "Gad, you're one in a, thousand!" be exclaimed.

To my amazement he suddenly proposed marriage as a solid seal to our premeditated partnership. I had a great desire to laugh, but controlled myself. It don't seem to strike you as sensible, eh, pal?" "A marriage? Well, you must give tt'f' time to thiuk it over." I murmured, glancing anxiously towards the entrance. Would the detectives never come? Must all my scheming end in failure?
