Aye, There's the Ruby

"Here is your imitation stone," I cried, tossing the case on to the table. "Hand over the real one, or I shall shoot you like a dog."

By Hugh Kingsmill (1889-1949).
First appearance: The Bookman (April 1932), pages 10-15.
Holmes and Watson versus Raffles and Bunny. The question is: Who wins?
