She felt that she had been stupid
where she should have been most deli
cate, "But you don't understand" she
protested, leaning far toward him as
if to coerce him with her generous
warmth. The Chatworth ring was
nothing but a fancy l had. l never
thought of it for a moment as an en-
gagament ring!"
By the light stir Of silk she vas
aware that Clara had risen. She look
ed up quickly to encounter that odd
look. Clara's face was so smooth, SO
polished, so unrufied, as to appear al
most blank, but none the less Flora
saw it all in Clara's eye-a look that
was not new to her. 1t was the same
with which Clara had met the an
nouncement of her engagement; the
same look with which she had con-
fronted every allusion to the ap-
preaching marriage; the same with
which she now surveyed the mention
of the engagement ring-a look Meth
er approving nor dissenting, whose
calm, considerate speculation seemed
to repudiate all interest positive or
negative in the approaching event ex-
cept the one large question, What
is to become of me?" Many times
Clara had held it up before her, not as
a question, certainly not as an &C
cusation; as a fiat assertion of fact;
but tonight Flora felt 1t 81 directly
and imperatively aimed at her that II
seemed this time to demand an audi
BILE response. And Clara's way of get

to take farewell, took on, in the ligh
of her look, the fantastic appearance
of a final departure. I'm afraid,

no questions asked. Purdie's keen
very keen. He's responsible, the exec
utor of the estate, you see."
But Clara Britton leveled her eyes
at him, as if the thing he had pro-
duced was not at all the thing he had
led up to. "Still, unless there was
enormous pressure somewhere-and
in this Ease / don't see where-I can't
see what Mr.. Purdie's keenness will
do toward getting it back"
Harry played a little sulkily with
the proposition, but he would not pick
UP the thread he had dropped. "I
don't know that any n sees. The
question now is-who took it,"
"Why, one of u.s." said FS>ca flip

her. TITS a COMPOUNDED fine profess

The name foated in a little silence.
"He kept them guessing" Harry
went on recalling it; "did some great
vanishing acts"
"You mean he could take things
before their eyes without people
knowing it," Flora's eyes were wide
beyond their wont.

Flora began to laugh. "He must

"Well," Harry conceded practically,
"he knew his business"
"But you can't rely on those sto-
ries," Clara objected.
"You must this time," he shook his
tawny head at her; IT give you my
word; for I was there"
It seemed to Flora fairly preposter

so m~atter-of-fact with such expert

a little taken aback, but the effect
was only to set her more sharply on

A Name Goes Round a Table,

A Name Goes Rouho a laple.
For tonight, from the moment he
had appeared, she had recognized an
unfamiliar mood in him, and it had
come out the more they had discussed
the Chatworth ring.
She wondered, as he heaped her err
mine on her shoulders, If Harry
might not have more surprises for her
than she had supposed. Perhaps she
had taken him too much for granted.
After all, she had known him only for
a year.
She herself was but three years old
in San Francisco, and to her e eyes
Harry had seemed an old resident
thoroughly established. So firmly es-
tablished was he in his bachelor quar-
ters, in his clubs, in the demands
made upon him by the city's society,
that it had never occurred to her he
had ever lived anywhere else. Nor
had he happened to mention anything
| of his previous life until tonight, when
he had given her, in that mention OF
a London ball, n flashing glimpse OF
former experiences.
Impulsively she summed up the pos
| sibilities of what these might have
been. She gave him a look, incredu-
lous, delighted, as he handed her into
the carriage. She had actually got a
thrill out of easy-going, matter-of-fact,
w%ell-tubbed Harry! 1t was comrade-
ship in itself. Not that she would
have told him. This capacity of hers
for thrills she had found need always
to keep carefully covered. In the days
when she was a shoeless child-those
days of her fathers labor In shaft and
dump-she had dimly felt her world
to be a creature of a keen, a fairly
cruel humor, for all things that did not
pertain to the essence of the life II
struggled for. The wonder of the
western flare of day, the magic in the
white eyes of the stars before sunrise
the mystery in the pulse of the pound
ing mine heard In the dark-of such
1t had been as ruthless as this new
world that looked as narrowly forth
at as starved a prospect with ever
keener ridicule. In~stinctively she hat
turned to both the hard, bright face
they required.
Fatherless, ~motherless, alone upor
the pinnacle of her fortune, she hat
known that such an extraordinary en-

portal, would only be acceptable
