SYNOPSIS.

At a private view of the Chatworth
personal estate, to be sold at auction, the
Crew Idol mysteriously disappears. Harry
Cressy, who was present, describes the
ring to his fiancee, Flora Gilsey, and her
chaperon, Mrs. Clara Britton, as being
like heather god, with a beautiful sap
phire set in the head. Flora meets Mr..
Kerr, an EngliShman. In discussing the
disappearance of the ring, the exploits Of
an English thief, Farrell Wand, are re-
called. Kerr tells Flora that he has met
Harry somewhere but cannot place him.
E2O,Oo0 reward is offered for the return of
the ring. Harry takes Flora to a Chinese
goldsmith's s to buy an engagement ring.
An exquisite sapphire set in a hoop of
brass is selected. Harry urges her not to
wear 1t until it Is reset. The possession
Of the ring seems to cast spell over
Flora. She becomes uneasy and appre-
hensive. Flora is startled by the effect
on Kerr when he gets 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. She decides to return the ring to
Harry but he tells her to keep 1t for a
day or two. Ella Butler tells Flora that
Clara is setting her cap for her father
Judge Butler. Flora believes Harry sus-
poets Kerr and is waiting to make sure
of the reward before unmasking the thief.
Kerr and Clara confess their love for
each other. Clara is followed by a China
man.

Mrs. Herrick considered a moment
why can't he do it for himself?" she
threw out suddenly.
1t made Flora start, but she met IL
calamity. Because he won't. shall
have to make him."
"You!" For a moment Flora knew
that she was preposterous in Mrs.
Herricks eyes-and then that she was
pathetic. Her companion was looking
at her with sad sort of humor. my
dear, are you sure that that is your re-
sponsibility?"
Flora's answering smile was faint.
'It seems as strange to me as 1t
seems absurd to you, but 1 think /
have done something already"
Are you sure, or has he only let
you think so? We have all at some
time longed, or even thought it was
our duty, to adjust something when
it would have been safer to have kept
our hands off," Mrs. Herrick went on
gently.
"Oh, safer," Flora breathed. "Oh,
yes; indeed, know. But if something
had been put into your hands without
your choice; if all the life of some
one that you cared about depended on
you, would you think Of being safe?"
Flora, leaning forward, chin in hand,
with shining eyes, seemed fairly to
impart a reflection of her own pas
sionate concentration to the woman
before her.
Mrs. Herrick, so calm in her re-
poseful attitude, calm as the old por-
trait on the wall behind her, none, the
less began to show a curious sparkle
of excitement in her face. IF were
sure that persons life did depend on
me-" she measured out her words de-
liberately. But that so seldom hap
pens, and it is so hard to tell"
But if you were sure, sure, sure!"
Flora rang it out certainly.
Mrs. Herrick in her turn leaned for
ward. "Ah, even then it would de-
pend on him. And do you think you
can make a man do otherwise than
his nature?"
Flora answered with a stare Of mis-
cry. 81 know what you must be think

1t was ten o'clock in the morning,
three hours since she had left her
house and a most reasonable time
of daylight, when Flora turned out of
the flatness of south of Market
street" and began to mount a slow-ris-
ing hill.
AS she neared the hilltop she
glanced at a card from her chatelain,
consulting the address upon it. Then
anXiously she scanned the house
fronts. 1t was not this one, nor this;
but the square white mansion she
came to now stood so far retired at
the end of its lawn that she could not
make out the number. AS she peered
a young girl came down the steps be-
tween the dark wings of the cypress
hedge, a slim, fair, even-gaited crea-
ture dressed for the street and draw
ing on her gloves. AS she passed
Flora made sure she had seen her be-
fore. There was something familiar
in the carriage of the girls head and
hands; something also like a pale re-
Election of another presence. Pale as
it was, it was enough to reassure her
that this was the house she wanted.
She ascended the steps beneath the
arch of cypress and Immediately
found herself entering an atmosphere
quieter even than that of the little
street below. 1t was quiet with the
quiet of protectedness, as If some one
brooding, vigilant care encircled it,
defending it against all inroads of
violent action and thought. 1t had
been long since any young girl had
carried such a heart of passionate
hopes and fears up this mossed path
between these peaceful flower-beds.

Her hostess smiled with ready an

should be glad, but it must be in a
day or two. Indeed, perhaps it would
be better for you to have your people
first, and ] can come down, say Mon

Flora faced this unexpected turn Of
the matter a little blankly. "Ah, but
the trouble is can't go down alone"
1t was Mrs. Herrick's turn to look
blank. But Mrs Britton?"

Flora ended with @ little breathless

posed, in her cool, flowing, white and
violet gown with the red flowers in
her lap, still looked at Flora inquir-
ingly. But aren't there some wom-

Flora shook her head. "Oh, no."
she said. Her house of cards was tot
tering. She could not keep up her
brave smiling. She knew her distress
must be plain. Indeed, as she looked
at Mrs. Herrick she saw the effect
of it.
Her heart sank. If only she had
told the truth-even so much of it as
to say there was something she could
not tell. What she had said was un-
worthy not only of herself but of the
end she was so desperately holding
out for. Now in the lucid gaze con-
fronting her she knew all her inten-
tions were taking on a dubious color,

CHAPTER Xxx.

Flight.
BY five o'clock in the morning she
was already moving softly to and fro,
so softly as not to rouse the sleeping
Marrika. By seven her lightest bag
was packed, herself was bathed,
brushed, dressed even to hat and
gloves, and standing at her window
with all the listening alert look of
one in a waiting room expecting a
train. She was watching for the city
to begin to stir; watching for enough
traffic below in the streets to make
her own movement there not too no
ticeable. Yet every moment she wait
ed she was in terror lest her fate
should take violent form at last and
assail her in the moment of escape.
She listened for a foot ascending to
her room with message from Clara
demanding an audience. She listened
for the peal of the electric bell under
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1910-11-24
But All Her Household stirring She Went


to bring before Flora the full enormity
and fmpertinence of her errand, but
though her heart beat on her side as
loud as the brass knocker upon the
door, she had no mind for turning
back.
A high, cool, darkly cleaning inter-
ior, mellow with that precious tint of
time which her own house so lacked,
received her. And here, as well as
out of doors, all the while she sat
waiting she felt that protected peace
was still the deity of the place. To
Flora's eager heart time was stream
ing by, but the tall clock facing her
measured it out slowly. Its longest
golden finger had pointed out five min.
utes before the sweeping of a skirt
coming down the hall brought her to
her feet.
Mrs. Herrick came in hatless, a
honeysuckle leaf caught in her gray
crown of hair, geraniums in her hand.
Flora had never seen her so informal
and so gay.
Flora apologized. II knew if came
at this hour should interrupt you,
but really there was no help for it."
She glanced down at her satchel 'T
had to go this morning, and before l
went I had to see you about the house.
I'm going down to look at it and-and
to stop a while"
Mrs. Herrick hesitated, deprecated
But you know Mrs. Britton wasn't
satisfied with the price 1 asked"
"Oh," said Flora promptly, but l
shall be perfectly satisfied with it, and
1 want to take possession at once"
The positive manner in which she
waved Clara out of her way brought
up in Mrs. Herrick's face a faint
fash of surprise; but it was gone in
an instant, supplanted by her ques-
tioning, puzzled consideration of the
main proposition.
"Oh, hope you haven't come to tell
me you want it changed" she pro-
tested. "You know it's quite absurd
in places-quite terrible indeed. It'a
1870 straight through, and French aS
that; but even such whims acquire q
dignity If they've been long cherished.
You couldn't put in or take out one
thing without spelling the whole char
acter."
"But I don't want TO change it, I
want it just as it is," Flora explained.
"It isn't about the house itself I've
come, it's about going down there.
| You see there are-some people, some
friends of mine. haven't promised
them toshowthe house, but have quite
promised myself to show it to them.

Harry's hasty hand-Harry, arrived
even at this unwarranted hour with
heaven knew what representative of
law to force the sapphire from her.
But all her household was still un-
stirring when at last she went, soft
step after step, down the broad and
polished stair and across the empty
hall. She went quiet, direct, deter
mined, not at all as she had fed on
her other perilous enterprise only yes
terday. She shut the outer door after
her without a sound and with great
relief breathed in the fresh and faint
ly smoky air of morning.
She walked quickly. 1t was a cross
town car bound for quite another To-
cality that she climbed aboard. 1t
was filled only with mechanics and
workmen with picks and shovels. She
sat crowded elbow to elbow among
odors of stale tobacco, stale garlic,
stale perspiration, and looking
straight before her through the car
window watched the aspect of the
city, still gray, grow less cleaning
and formal and finally quite dirty, and
quite, quite dull.
This was all as she had intended,
very much in the direction Of her er-
rand, and safe. But in Market street
the car line ended, and she was
turned out again in this broad artery
of commerce where she was in dan
ger of meeting at any moment people
she knew. She made straight across
the thoroughfare to its south side,
turned down Eighteenth and in mo-
ment was hidden in Mission street.
She went, glancing at windows as
she passed, looking for a place where
she could go to breakfast. She turned
into the first restaurant that offered,
and after a hasty glance around it to
be sure no one lurked there that
might betray her she subsided into
the clatter with relief. 1t was one
more place to let time pass in, for
it would be full two hours before she
could fulfill her errand. She stayed
as long as she dared, drinking two
cups of the hideous coffee; stayed
while many came and went; until she
felt the proprietor noticing her. That
revived her consciousness of the pos
sible dangers still between her and
the end she held in view. She had
heard of people being arrested for
suspicious conduct She didn't feel
sure in what this might consist, but
surely such an appearance could be
avoided by walking fast and seeming
to know exactly where one was go
ing.

I am going out of town. She must
not" Flora protested.
Indeed she must. You must not
place yourself in such a false position.
Write her and tell her you are going
to San Mateo with me-"
"Oh, if you would" Tears sprang
to Flora's eyes. "But will you, even
If can't tell you anything?"
Il shall not ask you anything. Now
write her Immediately. You can do it
here while I am getting ready"
She had take authoritative command
Of the details of their expedition, and
Flora willingly obeyed her. She was
still trembling from the stress of their
interview, and she blinked back tears
before she was able to see what she
was writing.
1t had all been brought about more
quickly and completely than she had
hoped, but it was in her mind all the
while she indited her message to
Clara, that Kerr, for whom it had
been accomplished, was not yet in
formed of the existence Of the scheme,
or the part of guest he was to play.
Yet she was sure that if she asked he
would be promptly there. She wrote
to him briefly:
At San Mateo, at the Herricks' I want
you there tonight. have made up my
mind.
AS she was sealing it she started at
a step approaching in the hall. She
had wanted to conceal that betraying
letter before Mrs Herrick came back.
She glanced quickly behind her, and
saw standing between the half-open
folding doors, the slim figure of girl
simmer, younger even than the one
who had passed her at the gate-but
like her, with the same large eyes,
the same small indeterminate chin.
Just at the chin the likeness to Mrs.
Herrick failed with the strength of
her last generation-but the eyes were
perfect; and they gazed at Flora
wondering. With the sixth sense of
youth they recognized the enactment
of something strange and thrilling.
Another instant and Mrs. Herrick's
presence dawned behind her daugh-
ter-and her voice-"Why, child, what
are you doing there?"-and her hands
seemed apprehensive in their haste to
hurry the child away, as if, truly, in
this drawing-room, for the first time,
something was dangerous.
