terms one for America and one for
Europe, which she was always to use
when She travelled, professionally or
otherwise He said he did not give
her the Lancashire Lass because it
wasn't quite new'-having been about
ten months in the water-but he had
his own reasons. one of which was
that the yacht represented a senti-
ment to him, and was what he would
have called a "sOuviner" But if she
could think of anything else she fan
cied, now was the time"
She said that there was only one
thing she should really like, but that
she could not have it, because it was
not in the market He asked what it
was, and it turned out to be the ruby
which LOgotheti had given her. and
had taken to Pinney's to be cut. and
which had been the cause Of so many
unexpected events, including her mar
riage. LOgotheti had. it in his posses

Pinney answered that it vas now cut

good man had felt that it would not

And thereupon she threw her mag

solid neck and kissed his cool nat
cheek several times; and it seemed
quite natural to her to do so; and she
wished to forget how she had once
kissed one other man, who had kissed
