  CHAPTER I

  Stolen Gem

  NANCY Drew drove her convertible into the public parking lot and chose a space facing the far fence. There were few cars at this hour, since the early-morning shoppers had left.

  As the attractive, titian-haired girl turned off the motor and took the key from the ignition lock, a car pulled in on each side of her. In an instant Nancy realized that they were parked so close she could not open either of her doors. The two drivers immediately jumped out and hurried away.

  Nancy called to them. “Wait a minute! You’ve parked so I can’t get out!”

  The men paid no attention. She honked her horn loudly, but they did not turn their heads.

  “How inconsiderate!” Nancy thought angrily. “And with the parking lot almost empty.”

  She caught a glimpse of the two men. They were dark-complexioned and she guessed they were from India. One looked to be about twenty years old, the other forty.

  “Well,” Nancy said to herself, “I’ll just have to back out of here and find another place.”

  She put the key into the ignition lock and started the motor. At that instant a car came whizzing into the parking lot, turned sideways abruptly, and stopped directly behind her.

  Nancy leaned out the window and called, “I want to get out of here!”

  She could not see the driver, but she was sure he had heard her. Instead of moving his car, he jumped out and sped across the parking lot to the street. He was a large, well-built, dark-skinned man. She could not see his face.

  With a sigh Nancy decided she would have to put down the top of her convertible and crawl over one of the cars. Then she remembered that before leaving home she had tried the mechanism and it had failed to work.

  “I must stop at the garage on my way home,” she decided.

  Suddenly Nancy realized she was a prisoner. It also occurred to her that the whole episode had been planned by the three men.

  “But why?” she asked herself.

  Nancy sat lost in thought for a full minute. Her father, Carson Drew, a prominent lawyer, had recently taken an interesting case. There was a unique mystery attached to it. Was she being ha rassed to make her father give up the case? Nancy wondered. She had become well known as an amateur sleuth. Perhaps the people connected with the mystery had found this out and intended to keep her from helping her father.

  Nancy realized she was a prisoner

  “Whatever the motive, I’m stuck here right now,” she told herself. “How am I to get out of this car?”

  Nancy knew she would need help. She pressed the horn and let it blow continuously. Sooner or later someone would come to see about stopping the noise.

  The person who arrived was a young policeman. Nancy did not know him, although she was acquainted with many of the men on the River Heights force. She had often worked directly with Chief McGinnis.

  “What’s going on here?” the officer asked cheerfully. “Somebody playing a joke on you?”

  “I think not,” Nancy replied. Quickly she told what had happened, and added, “I believe this was deliberate.”

  “My name is Orton,” the policeman said, “I’ll get you out of here as fast as I can.”

  He tried the doors of all three cars. Every one of them was locked.

  Orton pulled a book from his pocket and began comparing numbers in it with the license plates on the three cars. Finally he said, “Just what I suspected. Each of these cars is listed as stolen.”

  He said he would make a report to headquarters at once and a locksmith would be sent to open the doors. After he had gone Nancy fumed over the trick that had been played on her. In the future she must be more careful about traps.

  About ten minutes later Orton returned with the locksmith and another policeman. While various keys were being tried, Orton asked Nancy for a description of the three men who had driven into the parking lot.

  “I’m afraid it will be pretty sketchy,” she replied, but told him what little she knew,

  “They could be foreigners, especially the Indians,” the officer stated. “Chief McGinnis will probably get in touch with the immigration authorities.”

  The three cars were finally moved and Nancy, relieved, stepped to the pavement.

  “Thanks a million,” she said to the three men. “I hope you catch those car thieves.”

  Nancy was convinced that the strangers were more than mere car thieves. She would talk the matter over later with her father.

  She continued on to her destination, the River Heights Museum. Her father had told her about an amazing gem on display there. It was a huge sapphire with a spider embedded in it.

  “To think that this rare piece of work is only synthetic,” Nancy murmured. “Dad said it was made by Mr. Floyd Ramsey, who fashions beautiful and unusual synthetic jewelry, right here in River Heights.”

  The mystery which her father had hinted at concerned Mr. Ramsey and a wealthy Indian in Africa who owned a genuine sapphire with a spider embedded in it.

  “I can’t wait to hear the rest of the story,” Nancy thought as she walked along Maple Avenue toward the museum.

  She heard someone across the street whistle. Thinking it might be her friend Ned Nickerson, Nancy turned to look. At that instant someone banged into her from the rear, snatched her purse, and tried to knock her down. As Nancy teetered to regain her balance, the thief dashed down the street.

  “
He’s the younger of the two Indians who penned me in!” she thought. Nancy started running after him, crying out, “Stop thief!”

  A man, coming from the opposite direction, heard her. Seeing the purse clutched under one arm of the fleeing figure, he stopped the Indian and grabbed the bag, but it dropped to the pavement. He struggled to hold onto the thief, but with a neat judo shoulder throw, the purse snatcher tossed the man onto the sidewalk. Then the Indian fled around the corner.

  Horrified onlookers were helping the man to his feet as Nancy ran up to him. “I’m dreadfully sorry,” she said. “Are you hurt?”

  The man smiled. “Only my pride.” He picked up the handbag and handed it to Nancy.

  A patrolman rushed to the scene and asked for the story. When Nancy stated that this was the second time within an hour that she had been annoyed by the same man, the officer took notes and he said he would telephone the information to headquarters at once. By this time the crowd had melted away.

  The stranger who had come to her assistance refused to give his name. Smiling, he said, “I don’t want any publicity. It was my privilege to help a young lady.”

  With a wave of his hand he strode off. As Nancy walked on, she reflected about people of good and bad intent who so often crossed her path.

  Presently Nancy smiled to herself. “Hannah always says that things come in threes. I wonder what’s in store for me now.”

  Hannah Gruen, the Drews’ housekeeper, had lived with Nancy and her father since the death of Mrs. Drew when Nancy was three years old. The warm-hearted woman was like a mother to Nancy and worried constantly about the strange situations which the young sleuth faced when solving mysteries.

  “Poor Hannah!” Nancy thought. “She’ll be so upset when I tell her what happened this morning.”

  By now Nancy had reached the museum. The curator, Mr. Sand, was standing in the entrance hall.

  “Good morning, Nancy,” he said. “Have you come to see Mr. Ramsey’s gem?”

  “Yes, I have,” Nancy replied. “I understand it’s exquisite.”

  The curator nodded. “I defy anyone to tell the gem from an original. You’ll find it in the room to the right of the one where the prehistoric animals are.”

  Nancy hurried through the big room and turned into the smaller one. A glass case stood in the center. On a mound of white velvet lay the unique gem.

  Before Nancy had a chance to examine it carefully through the glass, a homemade printed sign tacked to one corner of the case caught her attention. She read it and frowned, puzzled. The sign said:

  THIS GEM WAS STOLEN

  CHAPTER II

  Missing Student

  THE curator had followed Nancy to the spider sapphire case.

  “Well, what do you think of—” Mr. Sand began. He stopped speaking abruptly as Nancy pointed to the sign saying the gem had been stolen.

  The man’s face turned red with anger. “That is not true!” he cried. “Someone put the sign there—someone who is trying to cause trouble!”

  He called to a guard standing near the door and quizzed him about recent visitors. “Everybody looked all right to me,” the guard answered. He smiled. “Maybe some teen-ager put that up there for a joke.”

  “Maybe,” the curator agreed, calming down.

  Nancy was inclined to disagree, but did not voice this opinion to the others. She asked the guard to describe all the men who had been in the museum recently.

  Her pulse quickened when he said, “One of the visitors looked to me like a native of India. He kept walking around and around the case and seemed mighty interested in the gem.”

  This was all the proof Nancy needed. The Indian visitor fitted the description of the older of the two men who had imprisoned her in the car.

  After the guard had gone back to the door, she said to Mr. Sand, “I don’t trust that Indian. If he ever returns, watch him carefully.”

  The curator smiled. “You’re mixed up again in some mystery and this time it involves an Indian?” he asked.

  Nancy did not reply. She merely gave the man a wink.

  The young detective rarely discussed her cases with anyone except her father, closest friends, or police and detectives. Mr. Drew had given her this advice on her first case, The Secret of the Old Clock, and Nancy had followed his wise counsel in solving all her other cases, including the most recent one, The Clue in the Crossword Cipher.

  Nancy now gave her full attention to the magnificent, almost round, inch-long gem in the case with the spider embedded in it. The sapphire, a shade darker than pale blue, sparkled brilliantly. The gem was transparent except where the spider lay. A card in the display case stated that Mr. Floyd Ramsey had produced this sapphire synthetically.

  “The gem is absolutely beautiful,” she said to Mr. Sand. “What gave Mr. Ramsey the idea of embedding a spider in the sapphire?”

  “He saw a picture of a similar gem—a real one —and decided to experiment to see if he could imitate it.”

  After a pause Mr. Sand remarked, “You know, spiders are one of the oldest living creatures on earth. They appeared at least three hundred million years ago.”

  “Really?” Nancy asked, amazed.

  The curator said that the study of spiders was intriguing. “The whole earth is covered with them. They’re man’s best friend. If spiders weren’t around, we’d be overrun and eaten up with insects.”

  Amused by Nancy’s frown, Mr. Sand went on, “I read recently that a man in England made a study of spiders to determine how many there were in a certain area. A census of one acre was two and a quarter million spiders!”

  Nancy gasped. Then she laughed. “Mr. Sand, you make me feel positively crawly.”

  The curator’s eyes twinkled. “Do you know how old the world’s sapphires are—I mean the kind that Mother Nature fashioned?”

  Nancy shook her head. “How old?”

  “So far as is known they first appeared in the Carboniferous Era. That’s roughly two hundred and fifty million years ago.”

  “So spiders and sapphires are much older than man,” Nancy observed. “I believe human beings first appeared on the earth ten million years ago.”

  “That’s right.”

  Mr. Sand was summoned to the telephone and Nancy spent a few more minutes admiring the spider sapphire.

  “I must go to Dad’s office and ask him all about the spider sapphire mystery,” she told herself, and left the museum.

  She found tall, athletic Mr. Drew dictating a letter to one of his secretaries, Miss Hanson. Nancy offered to wait in the reception room, but he insisted that both she and Miss Hanson remain.

  “You never come here unless you have something important on your mind,” he teased Nancy. “What is it this time?”

  His daughter told about the “stolen” sign tacked onto the spider sapphire case.

  “It may involve the ancient spider sapphire owned by the Indian, Shastri Tagore,” the lawyer said. “His agents are in this country. They revealed the theft of his gem. These agents, who are Indians, live in Mombasa, East Africa, where Mr. Tagore has a home. They had heard about the gem Mr. Ramsey claimed he made. The men don’t believe his story and insist that the gem is Mr. Tagore’s stolen property.”

  “But you believe Mr. Ramsey, don’t you?” Nancy asked.

  “Of course I do. I have known Floyd for a long time. There’s not a more honest man in the world.”

  Nancy had not intended to tell her father about the purse-snatching incident, but he surprised her by saying, “I hear a man grabbed your handbag and almost knocked you down.”

  Mr. Drew added that someone who had seen the incident had called him and related the story.

  “I hope the person also told you about the nice man who retrieved my bag. And here’s a story I’m sure you haven’t heard.”

  Nancy told him of her experience in the parking lot and her suspicion that the man who had grabbed her handbag was one of the drivers. It was the lawyer’s turn to look amazed,
and Miss Hanson gasped.

  “I’m sure the whole thing is bound up with the spider sapphire mystery,” Nancy told her father.

  “Then I’m glad you’re going away so soon,” Mr. Drew said. “In the meantime I insist that you have someone with you whenever you leave the house.”

  Miss Hanson spoke up. “Oh, you’re going away, Nancy?”

  “Yes, on an African safari. Isn’t it marvelous?”

  “Will you be with a group?” the secretary inquired.

  Nancy nodded. “You know that my friend Ned Nickerson attends Emerson College. The safari has been organized by some of the professors. Boys who are majoring in botany, zoology, and geology are making the trip. They’re being allowed to ask friends to go at the students’ rate. Bess and George and I have signed up. Burt and Dave, their dates, will be along, too.”

  “It sounds thrilling,” Miss Hanson remarked.

  Nancy said that the leaders of the Emerson safari were Professor and Mrs. Wilmer Stanley. “He’s always called Prof and she’s affectionately known as Aunt Millie to the boys.”

  “It certainly sounds like fun,” Miss Hanson remarked as she picked up the telephone which had started to ring.

  Mr. Drew and Nancy stopped speaking. Miss Hanson said, “Mr. Drew’s office.... She’s here. Do you wish to speak to her?” Then the secretary became silent. Presently her brow furrowed. Finally she said, “Thank you. I’ll tell her.”

  Miss Hanson put down the phone and looked directly at Nancy. “The call was from Professor Stanley. He said he was in a hurry and wouldn’t take time to speak to you. I’m terribly sorry to give you his message, Nancy. Ned Nickerson can’t go on the safari after all.”

  Nancy’s heart sank. What had happened? She forced herself to say, “That is bad news,” She had talked to Ned only two days before and he was extremely eager to go on the safari. He had said, “Nothing in this world will keep me from going.”

  Mr. Drew declared that it was strange Ned had not telephoned Nancy direct. Why should he have asked Professor Stanley to make the call?

  Nancy’s suspicions were aroused at once. She asked Miss Hanson to put in a call to the college and ask for Professor Stanley. It took some time to locate him, but finally the secretary reached the professor at his home.
