the chemicals became faulty, and though
the gem looked right it would not de-
ceive an expert.
But he did not give over the effort.
Years were spent bending over his vessels
in the laboratory and toiling night and
day His sons became discouraged, all
but the youngest, Arnik, who assured
him that he would succeed.
At last a strange success came to the
old man. He made perfect ruby Of 80
carats. In every respect it was equal to
Mana Sahib's ruby, except that it was
not so large Itwas as hard, as brilliant
and as luminous. 1t would preserve all
these qualities, but only for time. At
the end of 20 days-almost to the hour
it would of itself dissolve into gas
and few crimson particles.
Having been ruby for that period,
it would cease to exist. The great man
could do nothing more and was SO worn
out from his years of thought and labor
that one day, while at work in his shop,
he was seized with a fatal faintness.
My husband was alone with him. Know
ing he had but few minutes to live,
he told Luchjid the secret, making him
promise to explain it to his brothers,
Arnik and Parjee.
Arnik entered few minutes before
bis father died He babe his son good
BY and told him that Luchjid had the
secret, which might be made very valu-
able, and would let him know all about
it. So he died.
When the body of the old man had
been placed away in the tomb and the
season Of mourning had passed, Arnik
and Parjee asked their elder brother foI
the secret, for they saw the prospect Of
great gain. My husband felt that tC
share with them would lessen his prof.
its, and so he wisely refused to enlight,
EN- them He did well.
Mote. - Observe the complacency
with which this perfidy is dismissed by
the beautiful woman who called herself
Mrs. Howard when in America.
The younger brothers were very an
CRY and threatened the life of my goot
husband. He and therefore left Indi;
secretly. In London Luchjid hired {
place and followed the directions his
father had left to him His success wai
complete. He made three rubies of ten
carats each and sold them for q largt
| sum.

There was but one cause of trouble
Luchjid's brothers seemed to grow an
grier and followed us everywhere They
were wicked enough to wish to do my
good husband harm merely because he
chose to keep valuable secret to him
self
We first intended to hire rooms in
New York where my husband could toll
alone with his chemicals, but he was
wise. Then Arnik and Parjee might
hire skillful men who would trace him
and compel him to give up his secret,
or they would find it out for themselves.
In making the rubies the chemicals
give off an overpowering odor, to which
my husband and had become accus-
toned. The odor was so strange that it
would be sure to attract attention in a
great city. Officers of the law might
make inquiries, thinking we were max
ing money unlawfully, and so discover
the truth.
