the occupants of a motor-car, which
rounded a corner of the road at the in
slant the bomb was hurled at its intended
victim
1t was a curious fact that the Russian
wished the affair to be kept absolutely
secret, even from the police, until he
reached The Cedars and discovered that
he had lost a talisman which he had
carried s1ung around his neck by a gold
chain. He described it as a fire opal,
splendid stone, two inches long, three
quarters of an inch wide, and about
quarter of an inch thick. He appeared
to be enraged beyond measure by its
loss, and hurried back instantly to the
scene of the outrage.
Then, and not until then, did Arm
strong and the others in the house learn
that the bomb had been thrown by a
woman.
A dog-cart soon brought Lord CARING
ham and Frank to the place. Indeed,
the latter had his portmanteaus in the
cart to proceed to the station when the
Prince first was brought back on the
motor. A crowd of people, judiciously
restrained by policeman, indicated the
exact locality; little farther on, Prince
Boris, with several willing helpers, was
searching every tussock of grass and
thorn-root to find the lost trinket He
did not seem to be wholly pleased by
Armstrong; appearance, but he politely
negatived a theory that the opal might be
in his clothes.

doubtedly it was jerked out as my Arab

gested Armstrong.
Then | will offer reward-a thou
sand, ten thousand, pounds-for its re-
covery."
Certainly his serene highness had lost
his serenity. There never was man more
perturbed by reason of such a seemingly
trivial cause.
Armstrong wondered if anyone had
searched the meadow on the other side
of the road 1t was entirely conceivable
that a smooth object like the gem de-
scribed, pulled forth from its receptacle
with force sufficient to break strong
gold chain, might have travelled con-
siderable distance.
He climbed a gate and walked up be-
hind the hedge until he stood opposite
to the dark stain on the road, hastily
smothered in dust, which showed where
the unfortunate horse had been killed

feeling, perhaps, that it was unreason-
able to dislike Prince Boris simply be-
cause Lady Ermyntrude might become
Russian princess-he began close scru-
tiny of the luxuriant crop of grass.
He had not gone five yards before he
saw the opal shining in the sun. His
first impulse was to cry aloud to the
searchers in the roadway, but for some
occult reason he checked the words on
his lips. He stopped and lifted the glori-
Gus gem from its resting place. At that
instant he was screened from observation
by a hazel-tree, and he was able to ex-
anime the stone unobserved.
Never in his life had he seen such

SUNDAY MAGAZINE for MARCH 26. 1905

and again he experienced a shock of in
coherent surprise On this side were
in1aid three small golden triangles, or
pyramids. They were equilateral, and
all of the same size. With the very
glimpse of them he remembered the horn
halted knife of the big Russian encoun-
tered at the Anarchist Club.
The same token; but in such different
degree What could it mean? Was it
the insignia of some secret society?
Surely Prince Melnikoff Boris, the friend
of royalty, the pampered favorite of
many courts, could have naught in COM
mon with man who said that only the
heart could conceive the tragedy of his
countryl
The dull gold of the little pyramids in
nowise interfered with the beauty of the
remainder of the gem on this engraved
side. He fancied that the metal bore
some faint marks, letters or heraldic de-
vices; but if he remained too long alb
sorbed in his examination he feared that
some one might see him from the road
Oddly enough, there shot through his
brain not the temptation, but the active
suggestion, that he would do well to
place the opal in his pocket and say
nothing whatever about it to anybody.
To man of the highest honor, such
prompting was grotesque, preposterous.
The mere thought of it restored his scat
tered wits and made him laugh aloud.
At once he strobe toward the hedge,
and holding out the gem said: Il
think l have found your highness's lost
fetish
He did not realize that he used any
expression out of the common. An al
most frantic joy 1eaped into the eyes of
Prince Boris when he saw the opal gilt
tering in Armstrong; hand. The Rus
sian actually clutched the gem with ludi-
crous haste.
Il never can thank you sufficiently"
he cried hoarsely. Name your own
recompense."
Armstrong flushed. The moment the
opal quilted his hand he felt calrner

you a slight service" he said.
But you do not know what this
means to me-" said the other with fever
ish earnestness at is" he checked
himself-''it is family heirloom beyond
value. Ask anything can give, and"
Again l repeat that my reward lies
in having restored it to you, said Frank,
and the Russian seemed to understand
that his excitement was passing the
bounds of discretion, for all those who
were aiding in the search had drawn near.
Wont you even let us see it?' asked
Lord birmingham pleasantly.
Prince Boris inflated his huge chest
with a deep breath and partially re-
gained his self-control. 1T is Forbidden"
he said, with a nervous laugh; "but the
occasion is unique Nevertheless, it must
not leave my possession second time"
He opened his hand, which was curl
ously long and shapely for such giant of
a man. The opal lay lengthwise across
the palm. Armstrong noted that, whether
by chance or design, the engraved side of
the stone was hidden.
Everyone crowded around to look at an
ornament which the Russian magnate

From the Baltimore sun.
For a statesman with Presidential
aspirations. Senator Foraker OF Ohio
seems to be about TO make "A grievous
blunder. He has accepted an invitation
to make speeches in Philadelphia
against Mayor Weaver and the
Citizens non-partisan reform party In
that city. II appears that Mr. For
aker. who is considered one OF the
strongest Republican opponents OF the
Roosevelt administration. believes that
he would stand a good chance of secur-
ing the support Of the Pennsylvania
delegates IN the national convention in
1905 II he opposes the reform movement
In Philadelphia. The Republican bosses
are bent upon defeating the reform
party IN the November election. and
TO secure the influence and assistance
OF Senator Foraker they are willing TO
pay handsomely. But MT Foraker will
make a great mistake n he takes the
stump in Philadelphia as the champion
of a machine which is odious to the
majority OF the people OF the Quaker
City. Not even his eioquence and logic
can make bad cause appear to be
a good one.
A Senator Of the United States ought
TO hold himself aloof from such con-
test as is being waged in Philadelphia.
