WARNING THAT WAS FAMILIAR
Grocer Man Used Formula That Made
Little Harry Long to Be
Far Away.

Mrs. Jones' favorite warning to her
young progeny, when they were in mis-
chief was that she would tend to them
in a minute. Tending was accom-
plished by applying her open hand
where 1t would do most good. When
Harry was four years old he was sent
for the first time round the corner 10
the grocery. In a few minutes he came
trotting soberly back with the nickel
still in his hand, but nc bag OF onions.

mother.

onions. I'm in a hurry for them"
A second time Harry disappeared
round the corner, and a second time
returned without his purchase.
I'm 'fraid of the grocer man." he
explained, as before.
well, what makes you afraid OF
him?" demanded his mother, impa-
tiently.

CHAPTER XII.

The Mystery Takes Human Form.
He turned from the window where
he had presented a long, dropping,
patient back, and his warm, ironic
mirth-the same that had played with
her the first night-fashed out at
sight of her. But after a moment an
other expression mixed with 1t,
sharpened It, apd fastened upon her
with an i%ncredulous intentness.
She stood on the threshold, pale,
and brilliant still in her blaze of an
ger. equal, at last, to anything. Kerr,
as he signaled to her with every line
ament of his enlivened face, his inter
est. his defiance, his uncontrollability,
was not the man Of her imaginary
conversations. He was not here to be
used and disposed of; but, as he came
toward her, the new admiration in his
face was bringing her reinsurance
that neither was she. The thought
that her moment of bitter ~incredulity
had made her formidable gave mel
courage even to smile, though she
grew hot at the first words he spoke
"You should not be brave and ther
run away, you know"
She thought OF her rush up thu
stairs again. Il had to go back t

his GOODNESS, there in the face of her
burning agitation, was appalling.
Mrs. Herrick's face was taking on
an expression no less than wary.
What he was, Mrs. Herrick could not
dream. She could not even suspect
what Flora believed. But in the light
of her terrible discovery Flora dared
not have him suspected at all.
Now, if she had ever in her life,
she talked over the top of her feel
ings; and though at first to her ears
her voice rang out horribly alone,
presently Mrs. Herrick was helping
her, adding words to words. 1t was
the house they spoke of, the San Ma
teo house, the subject about which
Flora knew Mrs. Herrick had come
to talk; but to Flora it was no longer
a subject. 1t was a barrier, a shield.
In this emergency it vas the only
subject large enough to fill the gap,
and much as Flora had liked the idea
oil it, she had never built the house
so large, SO vivid, so wonderfully tow-
ering to please her fancy as she was
doing now to cover Kerr. With ques-
lions she led Mrs. Herrick on to spin
out the subject, to play it over with
lights and shades, to beat all around
lit. And all the while she knew that
Kerr was watching her.
The lady's clear gray eyes travelled
between F1ora's face and his. Under
their steady light there was q strange
alertness, as If she sat there ready
enough to avert whatever threatened
but anxious to draw her skirts aside
from it, distrusting the quality, hating
to have come IN upon anything so du
bious. When the hall door opened
l and closed she listened as If for a de
~liverer; and when Clara appeared be
. tween the portieres she turned to he
and met her with a fash OF relief, al

CHAPTER XII.
Disenchantment.

Then this was the end OF all ro-
nance? She must turn her back on
the charm, the power, the spell that
had been wrought around her, and,
horror-struck, pry into her own mind
to discover what lawless thing could
be in her to have drawn her to such
a person, and to keep her, even now
that she knew the worst, unwilling to
relinouish the thought of him. His
| deprayity doomed to her enormous;
but was that all there was to be said
of him? Did his delicacy, his insight,
his tempered %fneness, count for moth
ing beside it?
She couldn't believe that this one
SPOT could make him rotten through
ont. Her mind ran back into the past.
| She could not recall a word, an &C
ton. or a glance of his that had
shown the color of decay. He had not
even been insincere with her. He had
come out with his convictions SO fat
" that when she thought Of it his
nonchalance appalled, her. He had
been the same then that he was now.
But the thing that was natural for
him was impossible for her, and she
had found it out-that was all.
Yet the mere consideration of him
and his obsession as one thing was
in%tolerable. She c~uriously separated
his act from himself. She thought or
1t, not as a part of him, but as some
thing that had invaded him--a dis
oase-something inimical to himself
and others, that mixed the thought Of
him with terrors, and filled her way
with d~if1culties. Now it was no long
err a question of how to meet him, but
of how she was not to. 1t was not his
strength she feared, but her own
weakness where he was concerned.
Her tendency to shield him-she must
guard against that-and that disturb.
ing influence he exercised over her,
too evidently without intention. But
he would be hard to avoid. This way
and that she looked for a way out Of
her danger, yet all the while she was
conscious that there vas but n plain
way of escape open to her. She
| could give the sapphire back to Harry
within the "a hours.

SYNOPSIS.

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 %iancee, Flora Gilsey. and her chap
eron, Mrs. Clara Britton, as being like 9
heather god, with a beautiful sapphire
set in the head. Flora meets Mr.. Kerr,
an Englishman, at the club. In dis
cussing the disappearance Of the ring, the
exploits of n 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.. 10000 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. IN exquisite sapphire
set in a hoop of brass, is selected. Harry
urges her not to wear 1t until 1t Is reset.
The possession of the ring seems to cast
a spell over Flora. She becomes uneasy
and a~pprehensive. Flora meets Kerr at g
box party. She is startled by the effect
on him when he gets q glimpse OF the
sapphire. The possibility that the stone
Is part Of the Crew Idol causes Flora
much anxiety.
