Wandering Alone In Search Of Plants
and Minerals.

New York, overlooking the park and
copied exactly from her own in Lon
don, the English architect having been
sent to New York himself to build 1t.
Two small items were two luxurious
private cars of entirely different pat
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 1t, because 1t was
not In the market He asked what It
was, and 1t 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
rage. Logotheti had 1t in his posses.
sion. she supposed, but he had shown
good taste in not trying to press It on
her as wedding present, for she
could not have accepted it. Neverthe.
less. she wanted 1t very much, more
as remembrance than for it's beauty.
Mr.. Van Torp said he thought he
could fx that" and he did. He went
directly to Mr.. Pinney and asked
what had become of the stone. Mr..
Pinney answered that it was now cut
and was in his safe for sale. The
good man had felt that 1t would not
be tactful to offer It to Mr.. Van Torp.
Logotheti, who was a fine gentleman
in his way, had ordered it to be sold,
when good opportunity offered, and
directed that the money should be
given to the poor Greeks in London,
under the supervision of Lady Maud
Leven, the Turkish ambassador and
the Greek minister, as a committee.
Mr.. Pinney, after consultation with the
best experts, valued 1t at $4,000
pounds. Mr.. Van Torp wrote I. check
for the money. put the stone into an
inner pocket, and took it to the diva.
WELL" he said, smiling, here's
your ruby. anyway. Anything else to-
day."
Margaret looked at him wonderips.
