he was prominent and influential merchant, and

In times past there was in q certain
law school an aged and eccentric pro-
fessor. General information" was the
old gentleman's hobby; he held it FOR
incontrovertible that if . young lawyer
possessed a large fund of miscellaneous
knowledge, combined with an equal
amount of common sense, he would be
successful in life So every year the
professor put on his examination pa
pers a question very far removed from
the subject of criminal law. One year
it was, How many kinds of trees are
there in the college yard?" The next,
what is the makeup OF the English

Finally, the professor thought he had
invented the best question OF his life.
1t was, 'sName twelve animals that
inhabit the polar regions" The pro-
fessor chuckled as he wrote this down
He was sure he could pluck" half tho
students on that question.
And it was beyond doubt that op-
probrious young loafer, Thompson.
would fail
But when the professor read the ex-
animation papers, Thompson. who had
not answered another question. was
the only man who had solved the polar
problem. This was Thompson's an

once more.
Ruby sat up in her bed with wild
light in her beautiful eyes. The MN
utes passed, then once more the sound
reached her, and it came from the
basement of the house; perhaps from
the very cellar where the jewellery had
been concealed.
Could it be the burglar returning for
his spoil? This thought decided Ruby.
She had not undressed yet, and, taking
the candle in her trembling hand, she
stole from the room and noiselessly de-
scended the stairs
She cautiously opened the door at the
top of the stone steps that led to the
cellar; then gust of wind swept past
and she was in darkness while only the
howl of the wind disturbed the silence.
But now, beneath the cellar door.
RUBY saw streak of light. For mo-
ment she hesitated. Should she return
and call the gardener. who since his
masters arrest slept in the house? But
the thought that the burglar might
escape while she was gone, and her
husband still remain under the terrible
charge. decided her.
Feeling her way along the brick wall
she descended the stone steps, then
placed her trembling hand upon the
latch of the door,
Once more she paused, and now she
heard a movement within. She was
but a frail woman, and the rutian
within would probably be armed; but
Ruby thought of Herbert, of what his
sufferings must be, and with trembling
hand she opened the door.
As she did so a little cry of terror
escaped her white lips. Standing IN
