in the carriage and Kerr mounting
guard in the hall. AS he handed her
in Clara leaned forward.
"WherA is Mr.. Cressy?' she inquired.
He sent his apologies Kerr ex-
planned. He is not able to get away
just now"
Clara could not control a look of as
constituent. AS the carriage began to
move and Kerr's face disappeared from
the square of the window she turned
to Flora.
Have you and Harry quarreled over
that MANI"
Flora's voice was low. NO. But
Harry-Harry-' she ~stammered,
hardly knowing how to put 1t, then put
it most truly: Harry is not quite him
self tonight"
Flora lay back in the carriage. She
was dimly aware of Clara's presence
beside her, but for the moment Clara
had ceased to be a factor. The shape
that filed all the foreground of her
thought was Harry. Hadn't he fol-
lowed up that singular scene with the
blue-eyed Chinaman by other visits to
the goldsmith's shop? Why, yesterday,
when he was supposed to be in Bur
Clara had seen him in China
town. The idea burst upon her then.
Harry was after the whole ring. If
Harry did not suspect Kerr, it would
be strange. But-HarrE waiting to
make sure of a reward before he I'M
masked a thief! 1t was an ugly
thought,
The carriage was stopping. Clara
was making ready to get out. In her
wr~etchedness she found herself turn
to Kerr. How kind he had been
her, He had not even spoken Of
himself, though he must have known
the shadows were closing over his
head. Any m he might be en-
shrouded. If it came to a choice be-
tween having him taken and giving
him the blue jewel, she wondered which
she would do.
In the gray hours of the morning she
wrote him She dared not put the
perils into words, but she implied them.
She vaguely threatened; and she i'm
plored him to go, avoiding them all,
herself more than any: and, quaking
al the possibility that he might, after
all, overcome her. she declared that
before he went she would not see him
again. She closed with the %forbidding
statement that whether he stayed or
went, at the end of three days she
make a sure disposal of the ring.
She put all this i'll reckless black and
white and sent it by the hand OF
Shima.

split? No, really do you think that
possible" Kerr inquired. and Flora
caught a glimmer Of irony in his voice.
We'll, can you see one OF those chaps
trusting the other with more than half
OF it?'' The Judge was s~cornful. And
a fellow needs a whole ring if he is
after a reward" He rolled his head
~waggishly. "Oh, ! could have been a
crook myself" he chuckled, but his
was the only smiling face in the party.
For Kerr's was pale, echooled to a
rigid g~elf-control.
And Harry's was crimson and
swollen, as if with a sudden rush Of
blood. His twitching hands, his sullen
eyes, responded to Judge Buffers last
word as II IL had been an accusation.
1T makes me damned sick, the way
you fellows talk-as IL it was the easiest
thing in the world to He broke off.
1t was such a tore, loose. harsh and
uncontrolled. as made Flora shrink.
IA II he sensed that movement in her,
he turned upon her furiously,

She felt as if he had struck her.

itself, she was the one thing he could

loosen. TIe stood there alone. looking,
with his great bulk and his great
strength and his abashed bewilderment,
rather pathetic.
But that aspect reached her dimly.
for the fear of aim was uppernost.
Her arm still burned where he had
srasped it. She moved away from him
toward the door Kerr had opened for
her. She rassed from the light of the
crimson room into the dark OF the pas

W jorie, looking up from the
book she was reading, what

Let me see" replied Uncle Howard.
trying to think how to make a simple
definition. when two things happen
at the game time that have nothing to
do with each other, but seem to have
a great deal to do with each other, we
call it a coincidence"
Seeing that Marjorie still loked puz-
zled, he started to explain further, when
q telephone message called him away
AS he took down his hat in the hall,
however, he paused long enough to
say: "Tll look out for a first-rate CO.
Incidence to show you, Marjorie, and
then you'll understand better"
The next day happened to be Friday.
and because there was no n to drive
Marjorie to school, and because she was
not able to walk so far, she was obliged
to remain at home.
Mama n Uncle Howard we're very
sorry, and they all thought of the two
shining gold pieces in MarJorie's bank
that meant W whole years without an
absence. and of the third that was 10
have joined them so soon; for Great
Aunt Morton, who lived in the big
house on Athe hill, had laughinely told
Marjorie the very first day she went
to school that she should have a s.
gold piece at the end of each year that
she vas neither absent nor tardy.
But the gold piece was as nothing
compared with the broken record, and
Marjorie sobbed aloud for a few min
utos. Then, like the brave little girl
that she vas, she dried her tears, got
out her paint-box. and began coloring
up some sunbonnet babies for the other
Children.
When she went to school on Monday
morning everybody was talking about
the fire that had occurred the day be-
fore, and, 10 her relief, nobody said
anything to her about her absence. She
said to herself that she just could not
have stood it if anybody had.
Two weeks later the monthly report
cards We're given out. Marjorie re-
celved hers with a sad heart, as she
thought Of the broken record. She did
not even open the envelope until Ger
trude Harris had turned off on her own
street and she was alone.
But as glanced over the card.
something within her gave a great leap.
Could she believe her own eyes? There
were no marks in the absence column,
The teacher must have made a mis-
take.
Mama and Uncle Howard looked the
card over, and said they were glad
Marjorie had ore from &c" to &c
Plus IN her reading, but neither of
them thought of the omission.
Iheh came a great temptation to
Marjorie. II she should say nothing
about the mistake the record would re-
main as it was, and the teacher and
pupils would forget by next year, and
Great-Aunt Morton need never know.
So the report-card was returned to the
teacher without anything being said.
All the next week Marjorie struggled
with the temptation. She eemed unlike
herself.
Friday came again, the last day of
Marjorie could stand it no
