Tomorrow Evening's Attraction.
After having been the dramatic sen
sation for three years in the theatrical
centers of the east. "The Thief" by
Henry Bernstein, with Miss Janet Allyn
in the leading role, will be seen in this
city at the Keith tomorrow evening.
"The Thief" has a record of two years'
run in New York, six months in Chi
cago and six months in Boston nnd is
considered one of the biggest successes
in the theatrical history.
Arthur Brisbane, in nn editorial in
tho Now York Journal said, "Women
whose husbands find a good deal of
money to spend with others and very
little to spend on their wives may well
take their husbands to sea this play.
Many husbands might do well to go
there on their own account; they might
learn things to their advantage. We
sincerely hope that C. S. Primrose will
parade this play, 'Thief, all over the
United States in all cities and towns
and compel as many husbands as possi
ble to see it."
The story of the play is well known.
It tells tho talc of the great love of a
woman. A love ao overwhelming that
she becomes a criminal in order that
sho might deck herself in luces and
gowns which she thinks will pleaso her
husband.
It is n play that will undoubtedly be
one of the most notnble theatrical
eyents of tho season and ono of tho
biggest successes that has ever visited
this city.

The Gibson
Robbery
A Smart Piece of
Detective Work
By CLARISSA MACKIE
"Mr. nnrlcy?" inquired tho whlto
haired, elderly man, stepping into tho
privato olllco of tho Junior member of
tho law Arm.
"I am Rogers," said that young man
courteously. "My partner, Mr. Ilarley,
has not yet returned from lunch. Did
you wish to see him particularly?"
"No. Either ono will do," returned
tho other hastily. "I was directed hero
by my friend Dr. Brown, no gavo mo
to understand that your Arm did a lit
tlo detective work now and then."
"Hardly that," returned Rogers, plac
ing a chair for his client and regaining
his own seat, "but In tho course of our
practice wo have chanced upon a num
ber of curious cases that wo wero for
tunate enough to unravel. As a matter
of fact, wo aro rather fond of that sort
of thing, although It Is not a branch of
our business."
Tho visitor frowned thoughtfully for
a moment and then looked sharply at
tho young lawyer.
"In spite of what you say perhaps 1
can prevail upon you to undertake a
delicato matter for me. It Is In tho
lino of detective work, but It requires
unusual tact, something that tho aver
ago detective does not possess. This is
not the mero shadowing of a suspected
party. It is an endeavor to And a thief
among a group of peoplo nono of
whom could possibly bo guilty of
theft" IIo leaned back and smiled at
Rogers' look of dismay.
"Tough proposition, eh?"
"Rather. It sounds interesting. With
out consulting my partner I'll say that
we will take it up as a recreation after
business hours."
"Done!" returned the visitor heartily.
Drawing a cardcaso from his pocket,
ho laid a bit of pasteboard on Rogers'
desk and leaned back in his chair.
"My name is Gibson James Addison
Gibson," ho said, nodding toward tho
card, "and my houso was robbed last
evening of $10,000 worth of jewels."
Rogers sat up In bis chair nnd lis
tened Intently.
"It happened at my country homo nt
Shorccllffe. My wife nnd I wero enter
taining six friends from Manhattan,
all peoplo of refinement and impecca
ble honesty.
"During tho evening Mrs. Gibson
mentioned thnt sho had just received a
necklnco of diamonds as a birthday
gift from inc. and sho brought out the
jewel enso and displayed tho necklaco
to her fi lends. It was greatly admired,
and 1 was about to close tho case and
replaco it In my safe in tho library
when both my wife and myself were
summoned to the telephone by nn
urgent message."
"Vn3 tho message really an urgent
ono?"
"It proved to bo an error. There
was some mlstnko about tho number,
and tho Mr. nnd Mrs. Gibson called for
wero really my brother and his wife,
who lived over on the East road."
"So your absence from tho room was
really unnecessary?"
"So It appears."
"Did any one enter or lenvo tho room
during your absence?"
"I cannot llnd that any one remem
bers. I have questioned the servants,
and all are unanimous in tho protest
that they had not entered tho room
that evening."
"Who brought the niessago from tho
telephone?"
"Pun Shah, my Hindu buttler."
Rogers was client for a long time,
and then he asked onu more question.
"Did Pun Shuh enter tho room when
ho called you and Mrs. Gibson outside,
or did lie stand In the doorway?"
"Ho merely stood In tho doorway and
gavo tho message."
"May I have tho names of tho six
guests who wero present that even
ing?" Mr. Gibson nodded.
Rogers drew forth a pencil nnd note
book. "Pleaso glvo a brief description
of each ono as you mention tho mime,
not forgetting to glvo mo tho chief
characteristics that mnrk each indi
vidual." "First, there was Rodney Stone, the
poet, a dreamy young chap, with his
lovely wife, who Is qulto content to
shlno in tho relleetlon of his glory.
"Then enmo Dr. Latimer, a brilliant
physician, now driven to death with
an immense practice, if ho keeps
on his present pace without cessation
from work he will end In a madhouse.
Resides Dr. Latimer, there was Mine
Finelli, the prima donna, who, as
you no doubt have heard, possesses
nn emotional temperament ns well
as a wonderful voice. Last of all

busy Wall street men. almost too
fagged out to recollect what the neck
laco looked like live minutes ufter my
wlfo had displayed It."
"Those wero tho six who wero alone
with tho Jewels?"
"Yes."
"And they are all unanimous In say
ing that not one person entered tho
room during your absence?"
"Yes. although it Is singular that
Mine. Finelli and Mrs. Rodney Stone
both declare that Pun Shah stood In
the doorway for a moment and re
garded the company rather strangely
for a few seconds. Mine. Flnolll resent
ed the Impertinence nnd made a get:-
turo of dismissal. After that the man
vanished. As n mntter of fact, Mr.
Rogers, not ono of my six guests can
recollect tho topic they wero dis
cussing when I entered tho room and
discovered that the diamonds wero
missing.
"Nov, what am I to do? The case is
a singular one, and 1 do not care to
call tho police into the matter, nl
though tho loss 1j' greater one thnn
I can nfford to withstand. Th gift
to my wife was gather an Important
matter financially." IIo smiled ruefully.
Mr. Rogers put up his notebook nud
donned his lint
"Where Is Pun Shnh now, Mr. Gib
son?" ho asked.
"Down nt Shorecliffc, I presume. He
was thero at noon when I motored up
to town."
"Can you tako mo to Shorccllffe at
once?"
"Certainly; my car is nt the door."
Rogers dictated a brief message for
his partner nnd left tho office with Mr.
Gibson. In fivo minutes they were
spinning toward tho Thirty-fourth
street ferry to Long Island City.
Shorccllffe wns a handsome cstnto
on tho north shore of tho sound, and
Mr. Gibson and tho young inwyer
reached tho gates within an hour after
leaving Rogers' offlce.
A grnvo eyed nindu In snowy tur
ban admitted them to the house, nnd
Rogers was conscious of a peculiar
sensation along his spinal column as
ho met tho man's piercing glance.
no felt In that moment that Pun
Shah know tho reason for his coming
as well as many other things that he
would not divulge.
He followed his host Into the library
and listened intently while Mr. Gibson
pointed out tho tablo whero the Jewels
had lain during bis absence at the
telephone. Tho tablo was between
two French windows that opened upon
tho front veranda.
"Wero tho windows open last even
ing?" asked Rogers.
"They wero both closed. It was
chilly and we wero enjoying n fire
on tho henrth."
Rogers was silent for n long time.
Ills eyes wandered from ono spot to
another. Onco they glimpsed the
corner of Pun Shah's snowy turban
outsldo tho door, and again be wns
sure that the man's jetty eyes were
regarding him from a heavily beaded
curtain that separated the library
from a smaller adjoining study.
"Well. Mr. Rogers. I am wondering
If you exonerate all my friends. My
theory does not permit of suspicion
pointing to ono of them." remarked
Mr. Gibson nt last
"My theory. Mr. Gibson, is thnt all
your six guests wero accessory to tho
deed."
"What? My dear sir"
"Walt a moment sir. I did say that
they wero accessories to tho deed, but
it was qulto unconsciously so on their
part Have you soveral strong men
on tbo place, men whom you can
trust?"
"Yes. Thero is Baker, tho gardener,
with his assistants, besides my chauf
feur and tho second mnn, four alto
gether. Why, may I a3k?"
"Pleaso summon them to this room,
and after that," continued Rogers in a
low tone, "havo tbo man. Pun Shnh.
sent in." "
Mr. Gibson smiled grimly. "So thnt's
it is it? I couldn't sco how tho rascal
had a chance. Excuse me. If you please,
while I send for tho men."
IIo left tho room nnd Rogers waited
thero alone. Presently ho heard a
stealthy footstep behind his chair and
n hot breath on his neck. Ho jumped
Just in time to escape tho wicked
knlfo of Pun Shnh, whoso dark face
was convulsed with anger.
Rogers hnd whipped out a revolver,
nnd so tho two wero stnndlng facing
each other when Mr. Gibson returned
with his four servants.
"What is this, Pun Shah?" demanded
his master quickly, but tho man only
bowed his head in silence.
"Your man was about to kill me,"
said Rogers coolly, "because I havo
discovered that he is tho ono who stole
your diamonds."
"Is it possible? Pun Shnh. what havo
you to sny?"
The nindu fastened a look of deadly
hatred on tho young Inwyer and,
snntching off his turban, drew from its
folds tho string of diamonds that had
so mysteriously disappeared. IIo flung
tho ornnmonts on tho floor nt his mas
ter's feet and with a swift gliding
movement vnnlshed from tho room.
No ono mnde a movement to follow,
and an instant later they saw the
flicker of ids whlto turban as ho disap
peared down tho drivewny.
Mr. Gibson dismissed his servants
with a gesture, dropped tho string of
dlnmonds in his coat pocket, and fneed
Rogers.
"How did you fasten tho crlmo upon
Pun Shah so quickly? I had evidence
that no one snw him enter tho room,
nnd"-
Kogcrs put up n hand. "It is easily
explained. Your butler possesses un
usual hypnotic powers, no simply
hypnotized the six guests in your draw
ing room, took tho diamonds from be
neath their noses nnd disappeared.
They might havo been puzzled by tho
incident which mndo them accomplices
in his crime, but they wero qulto inno
cent of any wrongdoing. In fnct, they
didn't know whnt had happened after
ho left the room."
Mr. Gibson sat down nnd drew his
check book toward him.
"This is such a gratifying exhibition
of your cleverness, Mr. Rogers, thnt I
must show my appreciation in a sub
stantial way. Hero Is a check for
$1,000. Shall I make It out to you per
sonally or to your firm?"
"To Ilnrloy & Rogers," said the jun
ior partner dizzily. "Ilarley ought to
hnvo something to make up for losing
tho fun of this Job."
