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'
ci" 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
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 syl.
lables, and the fiat, slow, variable
voice of Kerr-the whole house
seemed to sink into stiller repose the
high chords floated 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 a 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
threw over all the stage, and the Gre
scendo of the tragedy carried her into
a mood that barred out Ella, barred
out Clara, barred out Harry more
than any; but, unaccountably, Kerr
was still with her. He was there by
no will of hers, but by some essence
of his own, some quality that linked
him, as it linked her, to the passion
ate subtleties of life. He seemed to
her the eager spirit that was prompt
ing and putting forward this comedy
and tragedy playing on before her.
She heard him reasserted, vigorous,
lawless, wandering in the voice of the
mimic strolling player, addressing his
mimic audience. The appeal of the
tenor to the voiceless galleries, "Un-
derneath this little play we show,
there is another play" seemed indeed
the very voice of Kerr repeating itself.
The lights went up with a spring. A
wave of motion flickered over the
house, the talking voices burst forth
all at once, and she saw him, really
saw him for the first time that even.

what had she expected? She was
laughing at herself.
She was gay in her relief at getting
back to the sapphire, but at the same
time she was already wondering what
she should do about 1t that night
take it with her or leave it alone?
Dared she wear it on her finger under
her glove? Clara might notice the
unfamiliar form of the jewel through
the thin kid. Flora watched her curl
ously across the table that evening,
wondering what was that quality OF
her by which she acquired. Hitherto
Flora had accepted 1t as a fact with
out question, but now she had desire
to place it. 1t was not beauty, for
Clara was pretty, like a polished
Greuze, she was colorless and flavor
less, lacking the vivid heat of mag
netism. More probably it consisted
in a certain sort of sweetness Clara
could produce on occasions, way she
had Of looking and speaking which
Flora could only describe as smooth.
She made up her mind to leave the
sapphire at home; but in her last
moment in her room the resolution
failed. Harry, of course, would be
angry If he knew, but Harry wouldn't
see the thing under her glove.
She came down to where Clara was
waiting for her, with the guilty feel
ing of a child who has concealed a
contraband cake; but the way Clara
looked her over made her conscious
that she had not concealed her ex-
citement.

SYNOPSIS.

At private view of the Chatworth per-
gQnal estate, to be sold at auction, the
Harry Cressy, who was present, describes
the ring to his fiancee, Flora Gilsey, and
her chaperon, Mrs. Clara Britton, as be-
ing like a heather god, with a beautiful
sapphire set in the head. Flora discov-
ers an unfamiliar mood in Harry, espe-
daily when the ring is discussed. She
attends ladies night" at the club and
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 dislikes Kerr. They make an ap-
pointment to select an engagement ring.

1t Was Hers! She Did Not Believe It.

shade of his profile on the wall, the
stiff movement Of his lips, the for
ward thrust of his head on his shoul-
ders gave her another thought. Was
Harry also brutal?
What she expected of Harry, vio-
lent act or a quick relaxation of his
iron mood, she had not time to consid-
er, for the shopkeeper had moved.
He was jerking his head, his thumb,
and finally his arm in the direction of
the long, dim passage-such pointed
direction. such singular gesture, as
to startle her with it's incongruity.
What had that to do with the price of
the ring? And if it had nothing to
do with the price of the ring, what
had they been talking about? Her
small scruple against knowing what
was going on behind her was forgot
ten. Indeed, now she was oblivious of
everything else. She was taking it in
with all her eyes, when Harry turned
and looked at her. And oddly
enough she thought he looked as
if he wondered how she came
there. She saw him return to it
slowly. Then, in a flash, he met her
brilliantly. He came toward her out
of the gloom, holding the ring before
him, as If with the light of that, and
the flash of his smile, he was anxious
Immediately to cover his deficit
Il had the very devil of a time get
ting it," he said. "The little beggar
didn't want to let me have it." But
there was a subsiding excitement in
his face, and a something in his man
ner, both triumphant and troubled,
which his explanation did not reason
ably account for.
"Harry"-she hesitated-"are you
quite sure it's all right?"
"All right?" The sudden edge in his
, voice made her look at him. why,
it's genuine, if that's what you mean" "
1t hadn't been, quite; but her mean
ing was too vague to put into words
a mere sensation of uneasiness She
watched Harry turn the ring over, as
| if he were reluctant to let it go out
! of his hands. And then, looking at
her, she thought his glance was a lit
tie uncertain. She thought he hesi-
tated, and when he finally slid the
ring over her finger, II wouldn't wear
it until it is reset" he said. That
setting isn't gold. It's hardly decent" "
YES" she assented; "Clara will
laugh at U.s."
She won't if we don't show it to
her until it's fit to appear. In fact, l
would rather you wouldn't. As it is
now the thing doesn't represent my
gift to you"
She felt this was Harrys conven-
tional streak asserting itself. But
even she had to admit that an engage
ment ring which was palpably not
gold was rather out of the way.
You'd better keep it a day or two
and look it over and make up your
mind how you want it set, and then
we'll spring it on them," he advised.
But now it was finally on her fin
ger, she did not want to think it
would ever have to be taken off

A Smell Is Cast.

1t 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 heT alone with the ring!
She went Ger 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 ltvasy air, her
spirits were riding high From time
to time she has 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
