Without offending Mr.. Van Torp,
Lady Maud managed not to see him
again for some time, and when he I'M
derstood, as he soon did, that this was
her wish, he made no attempt to force
himself upon her. She was probably
thinking over what he had said, and
in the end she would exert her in
fiuence as he had begged her to do.
He was thoroughly persuaded that
there was nothing unfair in his pro-
posal and that, when she was con-
WINGED that he was right, she would
help him.
But when he had taken the first
step towards accomplishing his pur-
pose, he was very much at loss as
to the next, and he saw that he had

Stempi"
Barak was indeed violently affected
by the sight of the uncut ruby, and
his face had changed in a startling
way; a great vein like a whipcord sud
denly showed itself on his smooth
forehead straight UP and down; his
lids had opened so wide that they I'M
covered the white of the eye almost
all around the iris; he was biting his
lower lip so that it was swollen and
blood-red against the little white
teeth; and a moment before Mr.. Van
Torp had called out to his servant, the
young man had reeled visibly, and
would have collapsed If the American
had not caught the slender waist and
supported the small head against his
shoulder with his other hand.
Stemp was not within hearing,
therefore Mr.. Van Torp called to him
in vain, and meanwhile stood where
he was with his arm round Barak,
and Barak's head on his shoulder; but
as no one came at his call, he lifted
the slim figure gently and carried it
| towards the sofa, and while he was
| crossing the large room with his bur
den the palpable truth was forced
upon him that his visitors slimness
was more apparent than real, and an
affair of shape rather than of pounds.
Before he had quite reached the
lounge, however, Barak stirred, wrig.
gled in his arms, and sprang to the
floor and stood upright, blinking a lit.

with those hands," he silently re-
Elected, "it's either a lady or a thief,
or both"
Barak took several little twists of
tissue paper from the bag, laid them
in a row on the tablecloth and then
began to open them one by one. Each
tiny parcel contained a ruby, and when
the young man counted them there
were five in all, and they were fine
stones If they were genuine; but Mr..
Van Torp was neither credulous nor
easily surprised. When Barak looked
to see what impression he had pro
duced on such a desirable buyer, he
was disappointed.
Mice" said the American careless
ly; mice rubies, but I've seen better.
1 wonder if they're real, anyway.
They've found out how to make them
by chemistry now, you know"
But Barak understood nothing, Of
course, beyond the fact that Mr.. Van
Torp seemed Indifferent, which was a
common trick of willy customers; but
there was something about this ones
manner that was not assumed. Barak
took the finest Of the stones with the
tips Of his slender young fingers, laid
| it in the palm of his other hand, and
held it under Mr.. Van Torp's eyes
looking at him with an inquiring ex
preston. But the American shook his
head.
mo rubies to-day, thank you" he
said.
Barak nodded quietly, and at once
began to wrap UP the stones, each IL
its own bit of paper, putting the twists
back into the bag one by one. Thel
he drew the thongs together and tiet
them in a neat sort of knot which Mr.
Van Torp had never seen. The younl

man then rose to go, but the million
aire stopped him.
Say, don't go Just yet. I'll show
you ruby that'll make you sit up
He rose as he spoke. and Barak un-
derstood his smile and question, and
waited. Mr.. Van Torp went into the
next room, and came back almost i'm
mediately, bringing small black mo-
rocco case, which he set on the table
and unlocked with a little key that
hung ON his watchchain. He was not
fond of wearing jewelry, and the box
held all his possessions of that sort,
and was not full. There were three
or four sets of plain studs and links;
there were half dozen very big gold
collar studs; there was a bit of an old
gold chain, apparently cut OF at each
end, and having one cheap little dia-
mond set in each link; and there was
thin old wedding ring that must
have been a woman's; besides few
other valueless trinkets, all lying loose
and in confusion. Mr.. Van Torp shook
the box a little, poked the contents
about with one large finger, and soon
found an uncut red stone about the
size of hazelnut, which he TOOK Sut
and placed on the white cloth before
the visitor
''Now that's what call a ruby" he
said, with a smile of satisfaction. Got

though evidently still deeply dis
turbed. Mr.. Van Torp smiled, too, as
if to offer his congratulations on the
quick recovery.
Feel better now?" he inquired in
kindly tone, and nodded. Il wonder
what on earth you're up to, young
Lady," he soliloquised, watching Ba-
rak's movements.
He was much too cautious and wise
to like being left alone for many
minutes with a girl, and a cookbook
ing one, who went about London
dressed in mems clothes and passed
herself for a ruby merchant. Mr.. Van
Torp was well aware that he was not

the rubies he had seen might very

emotion at the sight of the rough
stone might be only a piece Of clever
acting, the whole scene having been
planned by gang of thieves for the
purpose of robbing him of that very
ruby, which was worth a large sum,
even in his estimation; for it was
nearly the counterpart of the one he
had given Lady Maud, though still I'M

Therefore he returned to the table
and slipped the gem into his pocket
before going to the door to see wheth-
