He determines to obtain this prize ; at the same Lime, another shady character comes to a similar resolve. Raffles writes to the Earl telling him he will come and take the diamond at 2 o'clock that night. Tapping the telephone wire, he overhears the message the Earl sends to a famous detective and lays his plans accordingly. The detective hails a motor-car and fills it with policemen, but on the way to the Earl's house it breaks down, and while everybody looks for the cause, the chauffeur, who is no one else but Raffles in disguise, goes off at express speed, and in one of his secret haunts, transforms himself into a creditable imitation of the detective and several of his confederates into policemen. Greeted cordially by the Earl, Raffles posts his men at various points and then lies down on a sofa to wait until 2 o'clock. An unexpected adventure occurs with the arrival of the other thief with two confederates, but Raffles and his men soon overpower them. The Earl thinks he has Raffles captive, and the latter leaves with his profound thanks-and with the diamond, which he has abstracted from the case when it was entrusted to him by the Earl's daughter.
