Closing his desk and throwing a light
spring topcost over his arm, he put his
hat rakishly on his head and stepped

stairs into the street. There he hailed q
passing cab and springing in gave the
| order "To Tiffany's," and settled himself
back on the seat 10 think what he should

for loves sake and something for Amy

| would get her something very nice. The
| cab drew up at the famous jewelers. and
John entered the place with the air of q
| bank president. He went direct - the

| salesman TO let him see some solitaire
rings. After looking over dozens oi
them. of all sizes and all prices, he Sc
lected small white stone for which he
paid three hundred dollars. throwing hi
thousand dollar bill carelessly on the
| counter. This was for Leoni; but sh,
| must not tell who gave il 10 her yeI

| cret together.
