self turning to Kerr. How stoically
he had endured it all, though it must
have borne on him most heavily!
How kind he had been to her! He
had not even spoken of himself, though
he must have known the shadows
were closing over his head.
In the gray hours of the morning
she wrote him. She dared not put
the perils into words, but she i'm
piled them. She vaguely threatened;
and she implored him to go, avoiding
them all, herself more than any; and,
quaking at the possibility that he
might, after all, overcome her, she de-
clared that before he went she would
not see him again. She closed with
the forbidden statement that whether
he stayed or went, at the end of three
days she would make a sure disposal
of the ring. She put all this in reck-
less black and white and sent it by
the hand of Shima. Then she waited.
She waited, in her little isolation,
with the sapphire always hung about
her neck, waited with what anticipa-
ton of marvellous results-avowals,
ideal farewells, or possibly some in
credible transformation of the grim
face of the business. And the answer
was silence.

CHAPTER XVI.
The Heart of the Dilemma.


There is, in the heart of each gale
of events, storm center of quiet.
It is the very deadlock of contending
forces, in which the individual has
space for breath and apprehension.
Into this lull Flora fell painting from
her last experience, more frightened
by the false calm than by the whirl-
wind that had landed her there. Now
she had time to mark the echoes of
the storm about her, and to realize
her position.
From the middle of her calm she
saw many inexplicable appearances.
She saw them everywhere, from the
small round of Clara's movement to
the larger wheel Of the public aspect.
Clara was taking tea with the Buffers,
and the papers had ceased to mention
the Crew Idol.
It had not even been nine days
wonder. 1t had not dwindled. 1t had
simply dropped from headlines to
nothing; and after the first murmur
of establishments at this strange van
ishing, after little vain conjecture as
to the reason of it, the subject dropped
out of the public mouth. The silence
was so sudden it was like suppress
sion. To Flora it Swallowed some
forces working so secretly, so surely,
that they had extinguished the light
of publicity. They must be going on
with concentrated and terrible &C
tivity in cycles, which perhaps had
not yet touched her.
So, seeing Maj. Purdie among the
crowd at some ones afternoon" where
she was pouring tea, she looked up at
his cheerful face and high bald dome
with a passionate curiosity. He knew
why the press had been extinguished,
and what they were doing in the dark.
She knew where the sapphire was
and where the culprit was to be found.
And 10 think that they could tell each
other, If they would, each tale the
other would hardly dare believe.
Amazing Appearances How far away,
how foreign from the facts they COW
cred! But Maj Purdie had the best
of it. He at least was doing his duty.
He was standing stifhy on one side,
while she hesitated between, trying
desperately to push Kerr out Of sight

Interpretation upon her great respon-
sibility. These people around her
seemed poor indeed, absorbed only in
petty considerations, and seeing every.
thir~ down the narrow vista of the
correct" Her eyes followed the
young girls course through the room,
easy to trace by her shining blond
head, and the unusual deliciousness of
her muslin gown. She stopped be-
side two women, and with a certain
sense of pleasure and embarrassment
Flora recognized one of them-Mrs.
Herrick. She caught the lady's eye
and bowed. Mrs. Herrick smiled,
with a gracious inclination in which
her graceful shoulders had part.
1t gave Flora the sense Mrs. Her
rick's presence always brought her,
of protection, of security, and the pos
sibility of friendship finer than she had
ever known. She started forward.
But Mrs. Herrick, presenting instantly
her profile, drew the young girls
hand through her arm and moved
away.
Flora WINGED as if she had received
a blow. The other people who had
heard the same gossip of her had
been, on account of it, all the more
amused and anxious to talk to her.
She felt herself judged-judged
from the outside, it is true-but still
there was justice in it. She had been
flying in the face of custom, ignoring
common good behavior, in short,
sticking to her own convictions in de-
fiance of the worlds. And she must
pay the penalty-the loss of the pos
sibility of such friend.
But it was hard, she thought, to pay
the price without getting the thing
she had paid for 1t was more like a
gamble in which she staked all on a
chance. And never had this chance
appeared more improbable to her than
now. For if Kerr valued the ring more
than he valued his safety, what argu-
ment was left her?

6ONRc~ NERHEkL a.

At a private view of the Chatworth
personal estate, to be sold at auction, the
Chatworth ring, known as the Crew Idol,
mysteriously disappears. Harry Cressy,
who was present, describes the ring to
his fiancee, Flora Gilsey, and her chap
eron, Mrs. Clara Britton, as being like a
heather god, with a beautiful sapphire
set in the head. lora meets Mr.. Kerr,
an Englishman, at the club. In dis
cussing the disappearance of the ring, the
exploits of an English thief, Farrell
Wand, are recalled. Flora has a fancy
that Harry and Kerr know something
about the mystery. Kerr tells Flora that
he has met Harry somewhere, but cannot
place him. $4,000 reward is offered for
the return Of the ring. Harry admits to
Flora that he dislikes Kerr. Harry takes
Flora to a Chinese goldsmith's to buy an
engagement ring. An exquisite sapphire
Get in hoop of brass, is selected. Harry
urges her not to wear it until it is reset.
The possession of the ring seems to cast
spell over Flora. She becomes uneasy
and apprehensive. Flora meets Kerr at a
box party. She Is startled by the effect
on him when he gets a glimpse of the
sapphire The possibility that the stone
Is part of the Crew Idol causes Flora
much anxiety. Unseen, Flora discovers
Clara ransacking her dressing room.
Flora refuses to give or sell the stone to
Kerr, and suspects him of being the thief.
Fiora's interest in Kerr increases. She
decides to return the ring to Harry, but
he tells her to keep it for day or two.
Ella Butler tells Flora that Clara is set
ting her cap for her father, Judge Butler.
Flora believes Harry suspects Kerr.

want. Better Train service.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Why is it that the so-called local
trains on the Pennsylvania railroad are
never on time in reaching Newark?
If these trains came from any great
distance or il they had to make any
considerable number of stops n could
excuse an occasional delay, but as 1t is
there is hardly a local train hat pulls
into Newark on time.
Five to ten minutes Is the usual aver
age delay, and Monday night I waited
fourteen minutes for a train that did
not have to come over thirty miles.
1t Is almost impossible to figure on
making close connections in New York
or Jersey City If one depends on the
p. r. r. local trains.
Isn't there somebody in the State
that can take such matters up or help
to remedy the conditions?
We are paying enough now to war
rant the best kind of service, yet we
are getting treated worse and worse.
It's about time the travelling public
took a hand in such matters. A. r. Il

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
we have in Essex county a county
prosecutor and two assistant prose-
cutors, and we also have a county
counsel. Recently when the famous
Snead case arose The county prose-
cutor's Office found it necessary to OBJ
tain outside legal talent to aid the
prosecution. Now the Board of Chosen
Freeholders is considering the evident
necessity Of obtaining outside legal
talent to do what our county counsel
seems unable to do Why is 1t that
important legal offices are not filled by
men who can do the work? However,
these instances of lack Of ability among
county officials seem to be right in line
with the entire system of county gov
eminent. Where the system is wrong
there is only one remedy-a general
housekeeping. Well, the people are
just about tired of these abuses, and
there is liable to be a big change this
