"You went to Amsterdam and came back on the Dominion with the jewels I
mentioned. In Toronto you gave them to one of your father's spies who got
married. Your party crossed the border and were searched. Of course, no
jewels were found on you. A short time ago the spy and his bride followed
you; they smuggled the diamonds over the Suspension Bridge for you. A few
minutes ago they were here and delivered the package to you. You've got it
now, so hand it over."

"I haven't got any package of diamonds," protested the girl.

"Now, don't try to lie out of it. We've got the evidence against you which
you can't deny. Be sensible and save yourself further trouble by handing
over the gems. If you don't we'll take them by force."

"I am telling you the truth."

"Further concealment is useless."

"Then search us and convince yourself."

Harry accepted her offer and failed to find the stones.

While he was so employed, Old King Brady searched her mother with equal
non-success, and a surprised look spread over their faces.

"The girl hasn't got them!" exclaimed Harry, in disgust.

"Nor has her mother," added Old King Brady.

"They must have hidden them."
