mobile veil quickly gets? II it Is In
a color not to show dust, do not imag-
Inc there Is none there. If you have
regard for your skin, wash your veil
frequently.
Because Of this washing It pays to
get good quality of veil in the start.

soap and lukewarm water. Rinse well
without hard rubbing. Dry out most

She felt of the stone She drew off
her glove and tried to look at it in the
dim light, but couldn't get a CLEAN out
OF 1t. She was as impatient for the
lights to go UP that she might secret
ly be cheered by its wonder. as she
had been that afternoon to get back
from the luncheon and make sure it
was still in the drawer She must
see it in spite of Clara at her right
hand, whose little chiseled profile
might turn upon her at any moment
a full face of inquiry.
She held her left hand low in the
shadow of her chair; and if, as the
lights went up again, there was any
change in the sapphire, it was merely
a sharper brilliance, as if, like an eye
1t had moods, and this was one of it's
moments of excitement. In its ex-
'traordinary luster it seemed to pos
.sess a beauty that could not be val
ued; and she wanted to hold it up to
Kerr, TO see if she couldn't startle him
out of his mood-to see if he wouldn't
respond to it, Eyes, there is more in it
that you can touch"
She turned to him with the daring
flash of timid spirits 1t was so sharp
q motion that he started instantly
from his reverie to meet it, but his
alaority was mechanical. She felt
the smile he summoned was slow, as
If he returned, from long distance,
a little painfully to his present sur
roundings.
The fntermezzo was playing, and to
speak under the music he leaned so
close his shoulder touched her chair.
Through that narrow space between
them, almost beneath his eyes, she
moved her hand-a gesture SO slightly
emphasized as to seem accident. He
had started to speak, but her motion
seemed to stop his tongue. He looked
hard at her hand, and something vio-
lent in his intentness made her clutch
the side Of the chair. Instantly she
met his look, so f1ercely, cruelty chal-
longing, that it took her like blow.
For a moment they looked at each
other, her eyes wide with fright, his
narrowed to a glare under the terrible
intentness of his brows. What had
ehe done?
She was as shaken as If he had
seized hold Of her. If he had snatehed
the ring off her finger she wouldn't

nothing was incredible. From the
first moment his face had shot into
the light, from the moment she had
heard his voice, like color in the level
voices around him, she had been be-
wildered by his variety.
And where, she asked herself in a
summing up, might such man not
be found? But there were few places,
indeed, in even the broadcast plain of
possibility, which could hold knowl-
edge of so particular and piercing a
quality as his look had implied. There
had been SO much more than curiosity
or surprise in it. She could hardly
face the memory of it, SO cruelty 1t
had struck her. There was no doubt
in her mind that Kerr had seen the
ring. Somewhere in the pageant of
his experience he had met it, known
it-but what he wanted of it
She broke off that thought, and
looked long at the little fame of the
lamp. 1t was strange, but there was
no doubt in her mind but that he
wanted it. That had been the strong
est thing in his look. She felt herself
picking her way along very narrow
path, one step over either edge of
which would plunge her chasms deep.
Now she snatched at frail sapling to
save herself. The fact that Kerr
knew her stone didn't prove it belong
ed to the Crew Idol And if it didn't
If it wasn't the crown of the heath
en- god, then her whole dreadful sup
position fell to pieces. But she hadn't
proved it and the simplest way was
just to ask Kerr. Her chance for that
was the chance he had fought so hard
for, the chance of their meeting the
next day.
1t seemed it should be simple, it
should be easy to face Kerr with her
question; but she was possessed by
the apprehension that it would be
neither. Would the question she had
to ask be@ a safe thing to give him
And if she dared undertake it and
should be overpowered after all-then
everything would be lost.

Illumination.


Just when the two ideas had CO.
alesced in her mind Flora couldn't be
sure. 1t had been some time in the
first dark hour that she had spent
wide awake in her bed. There had
been two ideas distinctly. Two i'm
pressions of the evening remained
with her; and the last one, the great
figures that had stared at her from
the paper, the fact that had been Har-
rvs secret, made common now in
round numbers, had for the moment
swallowed up the first.
For all the way home that sum was
kept before her by Clara's talk. She
remembered nothing of that talk ex-
cept that it hadn't been able for a
moment to leave the Chatworth ring
alone It had been aimed at Harry,
but it had fallen to Flora herself to
answer Clara's quick speculations, for
Harry had been obstinately silent,
though not Indifferent, as if in his
own mind he was as unable to leave it
alone as Clara One with silence,
one with her talk, they had written
the figures of the reward SO blazingly
in Flora's mind that for the moment
she could see nothing else. Yet now
she was alone her first adventure re-
Cured to her. AS soon as she was
quiet in the dark there came back
with reminiscent terror the look that
Kerr had given her in the box. She
was afraid of the meaning of his look
which she didn't understand It only
established in her mind great sig
nificance for the sapphire, if it could
produce such an expression on a hui
man face 1t had given him more
than mere expression. 1t had given
him an impulse for pursuit, as if,
like magnet, it was fairly dragging
him. He had covered his impulse by
his very frankness, but she knew he
had pursued her-that for the matter
of seeing her again he had hunted her
down. And what had followed? Why,
she was back again to the great fig
ures in the paper.
At first it seemed as though she had
taken clean leap from one subject
to another. She had in no way con-
nected them. But all at once they
were connected. She couldn't sepa-
rate them. She didn't know whether
she had been stupid not to have seen
them so before, or whether she was
stupid to see them SO now. For the
thought that had sprung up in Rer

mot the San Mateo placer" said
Flora, with stir of interest.
Clara complacently nodded.
"Why, should love that!" Flora
frankly confessed.
WELL" Clara conceded, "at any
rate we know it's genuine, and that's
a consolation. The number of imita-
lions going about and the way people
pick them up is appalling While
was getting that rug for you, at Vigo's
yesterday, Ella Butler came in and
bought three imitation Bokharas, with
the greatest enthusiasm. She buys
quantities, and she's always taken In.
1t is enough to make one nervous about
the people one sits next to at dinner
there. One cannot help suspecting
them of being some Of Elias bargains.
1 wonder, now, where she picked up
that Kerr"
This finale failed to take Flora of
her guard. "At any rate, he is odd
enough to be genuine" she said with
a CLEAN of malice.
"Oh, no doubt of that" Clara mildly
assented, "but genuine what?'
why, gentleman at large" said
Flora, and quickly wanted to recall it,
for Clara's glance seemed to give it
double significance 81 mean" she
added, "just one of those chronic trav-

ed. cat least, that was the idea he
gave of himself" She broke off, doub-
ly angry that she had tried to explain
Kerr, and tried to explain herself,
when the circumstances>req moth
ing of the sort She was sure Clara
had not missed her nervousness,
though Clara made no sign. Her eyes
only travelled a second time to F1ora's
hands, as if among the flare of red
and white jewels she was expecting to
see another color. To Flora's palpi-
tatfng consciousness this look made a
perfect connection with Clara's next
remark.
"At least his manners are odd
enough! There was a minute last
night when he was really quite start
ling"
Flora felt small, warm spot of
color increasing in the middle Of each
cheek. She drew long breath, as if
to draw in courage. Then Clara had
really seen! That smooth, blindish
look of hers, last night, had seen
eve1ythingl
81 am afraid he annoyed you,
Flora"
The girl looked into the kindly So
licitude of Clara's face with hard,
almost passionate incredulity.

now lightly swaying to and fro in her
chair, have singular notions Of
American women. They take us for
savages, my dear"
