CHAPTER VII.
A SPELL Is Cast,

A Spell is Cast.
It was hers! She did not believe it.
1t had been done too quickly. 1t
seemed to her she had hardly felt
Harry slip it on her finger before
they had left the shop; that she had
hardly shaken off the musty inclosed
atmosphere, before Harry had left her
on the corner Of California and Powell
streets-left her alone with the ring!
She went over whole dramas-im-
aginary histories of chance and cir
cumstance-woven about the ring, as
she walked up and down the long
windy hills, westward and homeward,
the blue bay on the one hand beaten
green under the rising trade" and
the fog coming in before her. With
the experience Of the morning, and
the exercise and the lively air, her
spirits were riding high. From time
to time she had the greatest longing
to peep again at the sapphire, but not
until the house door had closed after
her did she dare draw off her glove
and look. It was still glorious. What
a pity she must take it off!
But even in the refuge of her own
rooms the ring incircled Flora with
unease. The light of it on her finger
made her restless. 1t wasn't that she
was apprehensive of it, but she could
not forget it. She could hear the
maid Marrika moving about in the
room beyond. She slipped it off her
finger on to the dressing table, and it
lay among her laces like a purple
prism, cast by some unearthly sun in
a magic glass. She had jewels, ru-
bies even-the most precious-but
nothing that gave her this sense of in
dividual beauty, of beauty so keen as
to be disturbing. She emptied her
jewel casket in a glittering heap
around it. 1t shone out unquenched.
Marrika was coming in, and quickly
Flora swept the jewels and the sap
phire back into the casket, turned the
key upon them and thrust it back in
the far corner of the drawer. She
would give every one a great surprise
when the ring was properly set. She
glanced nervously over her shoulder
to see if Marrika had noticed her
action. The Russian had been NOV
ing to and fro between the wardrobe
and the dressing table with droning
thread of song.
All the while Flora was being
combed and laced and hooked her

CHAPTER VIII.
A Spark of Horror.

They found Harry waiting for them
in the theater lobby. He had come up
too late from Burlingame to do more
than meet the party there. The
Buffers were already in the box, he
said, and the second act of ''P Pagliac-
CT" just beginning.
AS they came to the door of the box
the lights were down, the curtain up
on a dim stage, and the chorus still
floating into the roof, while the three
occupants of the box were indistin-
guishable figures, risen up and shut
fling chairs to the front for Flora and
Clara. 1t was too dark to distinguish
faces.
But dark as it was, Flora knew
who was sitting behind her. She heard
him speaking. Under the notes of the
recitative he was speaking to Clara.
The pleasure of finding him here was
sharpened by the surprise.
Then, as the tenor took up the
theme, all talking ceased-Ella' s
husky whisper, Clara's smoother syI-
tables. and the fat, slow, variable
voice of Kerr-the whole house
seemed to sink into stiller repose; the
high chords foated above the heads
of the black pit like colored bubbles,
and Flora forget the sapphire in the
triple spell of the singing, the dark
ness, and the face she was yet to see.
The stage was narrow shelf of
wood swung in that void, from which
the voice sang, and bare finger of
light followed it about from place to
place The sweet, searching tenor
notes, the semblance of passion and
reality the gesticulating Frenchman

SYNOPSIS.

At a private view of the Chatworth per-
9onal estate, to be sold at auction, the
Chatworth ring mysteriously disappears.
Harry Cressy, who was present, describes
the ring to his fiancee Flora Gilsey, and
her chaperon, Mrs. Clara Britton, as be-
Ing like heather god, with a beautiful
sapphire set in the head. Flora discov-
ers an unfamiliar mood in Harry, espe-
ciallv when the ring is discussed. She
attends ladies night" at the club and
meets Mr.. Kerr, an Englishman. 1t comes
out that the missing ring has been known
as the Crew idol. Its disappearance re-
calls the exploits of Farrell Wand, an
English thief. Flora has a fancy that
Harry and Kerr are concerned in the
mystery. Kerr tells Flora that he has
met Harry somewhere, but cannot place
him. A reward of $4,000 is offered for the
return of the ring. Harry admits to Flora
that he disikes Kerr. They make an APP
continent to select an engagement ring.

off at the car-barns and make in
quiries. The possibility that the jap
anese had changed to the elevated
road on the North side was great, but
the conductor might remember If the
change had been made.
But Orme did not turn at once
toward the car-line. Though his logic
pointed In that direction, he was ir-
resistibly influenced by a desire to
walk eastward along the drive where
1t skirted the southern end Of the
campus. A half-hour might go by,
and still he would not be too late to
meet, on its return, the a which the
Japanese would have taken. He
started, therefore, eastward, toward
the lake, throwing frequent glances
through the iron fence at his left and
into the dark shadows Of the oaks.
He came to the lake without en-
countering anyone. The road here
swept to the southwark, and on the
beach near the turn squatted the low
brick building which the girl had told
him was the life-saving station. A
man was standing on the little veran-
da. His suit of duck was dimly white

and he sauntered slowly down the lit

The beach sloped grayly to the edge
of the lake, where a breakwater thrust
its blunt nose out like a stranded
hulk. The water was calm, tapping
the sand so gently that 1t was hard
to believe that so gentle a murmur
could ever swell into the oar Of a
n~ortheaster. A launch that was
moored at the outer end of the break
water lay quiet on the tideless u
face.

man turned his head. "Are you on

mo, the fellow had a good start,
so the cop stayed by the Jap"
"And what became Of the Jap?"
The life-saver jerked his head
toward the door beside him. He's
in there. getting over his headache"
"1s he?" This was a contingency
which Orme had not foreseen. Nor
had he any desire to come face to
face with Maku. But If he betrayed
his surprise. the l~ife-saver did not
notice 1t.
THE cop is taking another look
through the campus" he continued.
What does the Jap say about it,"
asked Orme.
HE doesn't say anything. 1t looks
as though he couldn't speak English.
The cop is going to get Asuki."
"Asuki?"
"a Jap student who lives In the
dormitory."
"Oh," said Orme.
The fact that Maku would not talk
was in a measure ~reassuring. His ap-
parent inability to understand Eng
fish was, of course, assumed, unless,
indeed, he was still too completely
dazed by the blow which Orme had
given him, to use a tongue which was
more or less strange to him. But
what would he say if he saw Orme2
Would he not accuse his assailant,
hoping thus to delay the pursuit Of
his companion2
The danger vas by no mean slight.
Orme decided quickly to get away
from this neighborhood. But just as
he was about to bid the l~ife.saver a
casual goodnight, two men came
around the corner of the building.
One vas a policeman, the other a
young Japanese. Orme un~obtrusive-
ly seated himself on the edge of the
little veranda.
How is he?" asked the policeman.
"All right, ! guess" replied the life
saver. Il looked In a few minutes
ago, and he vas sitting up. Hello.
Asuki."
Hello, there" responded the little
Japanese.
Come" said the policeman, after
an unsuspicious glance at Orme, and,
mounting the steps, he led his inter
prefer into the station.
Now, indeed, 1t was time for Orme
to slip away. Maku might be brought
out at any moment. But Orme
fingered. He was nearer to the solu.
ton of the secret II he kept close to
Maku, and he realized, for that mat
ter, that by watching Maku closely
and, perhaps, following him home, he
might be led straight to the other
man. If Maku accused him, 1t should
not, after all, be hard to laugh the
charge away.
A murmur of voices came from
within the station, the ~policeman'a

do anything. But we might as well
get a few mor facts. Something

Orme had been straining his ears
In a vain endeavor to catch the words
of Asuki. But suddenly his attention
was diverted by a sound from the
lake. 1t was the "puh-puh-puh-puh'
