剧情简介: The Tiffany necklace that Mrs. Knickerbocker gave her niece for a birthday present was stolen in Chapter 30, by Anni, the German police dog, now turned thief, at the command of her master. It is now the next morning. Margaret, in her hurry to keep an appointment with Robert W. Chambers, the famous author, dresses quickly, and in the very novelty of the necklace, quite forgets its existence. So she doesn't miss it until, as her aunt keeps her waiting, she bethinks herself of it and goes hack to her boudoir to have a little peep. It is gone. Margaret cries out and brings Mrs. Knickerbocker to her rooms. At that moment Kid Joseph is brought to the drawing room and the two, aunt and niece, are hastily summoned. For Kid Joseph has brought in the white satin case in which the jewels lay, but the case is empty. The Kid has seen something. His innate hostility to Dunbar and a rather too quick mind have made him certain Dunbar is guilty. Kid Joseph found the box in the area-way of Mrs. Knickerbocker's house. When he finds out from the two women what has happened he instantly accuses Dunbar of the crime. Thereupon Margaret determines to take the matter of catching the thief into her own hands. Mrs. Knickerbocker, firm in the belief that her servants are honest, starts an independent investigation and gets a private detective. Margaret goes to Police Headquarters and learns how to take and tabulate finger-prints. For on the outside of the box is a grimy thumb-print. Clever as has been the thief in devising a new way to steal, he allowed himself to make that one break without which no criminal ever could be caught. And so, when Dunbar calls a little later in the day, Margaret, hearing him accused by Kid Joseph, decides to hold a finger-print party, and in this way the theft is traced to Dunbar.
