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 e
cept that it hadn't been able for a
moment to leave the Chatworth ring
! alone. It had been aimed at Harry,
but 1t had fallen to Flora herself to
answer Clara's quick speculations, for
Harry had been o~bstinately silent,
| though not Indifferent, as If in his
own mind he was as unable to leave II
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
ouiet in the dark there came bacl

Kerr had given her in the box. Sht

established in her mind a great sig
~nifcance for the sapphire, IL it coult
produce such an expression on a hu
man face. 1t had given him NOR
than d mere expression. 1t had givel
him an impulse for pursuit, as II
like a magnet, it was fairly draggini
him. He had covered his impulse b.
his very frankness, but she knew b
had pursued her-that for the matte
of seeing her again he had hunted he
down. And what had followed? Why
she was back again to the great fs
ures in the paper.
AT first 1t seemed as though she ha
taken a clean leap from one subjee
to another. She had in no way col
nected them. But all at once the
were connected. She couldn't SEPT
rate them. She didn't know whethe
she had been stupid not to have see
them SO before, OF whether she wa
stupid to see them so now. For th
thought that had sprung up in hs

making courteous response to some

when she thought, she had not offered
it, he had got it out of her.

He was pressing her too hard. Why
was he so anxious to see her, as ne
had not been the first night or yester-

nut him off. She was silent a mo
ment, considering the conventions, n
then. like him, she abandoned them.
Without a word she turned away from
him. Her only desire now was TO
evade him, lest he should force her
out of her non-committal attitude. She
wanted to shield herself from further
pursuit.
She drew her glove over the ring.

SYNOPSIS.

At a private view Of the Chatworth
personal estate, to be sold at auction, the
Ehatworth ring, known as the Crew Idol,
mysteriously disappears, Harry Cressy,
who was present, describes the ring to
his fancee, Flora Gilsey. and her chap
eron, Mrs. Clara Britton, as being like a
heathen 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 an 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. $4,000 reward Is offered for
the return of the ring. Harry admits to
Flora that he dislikes Kerr. Harry takes
Flora to a Chinese g~oldsmith's to buy an
engagement ring. An exquisite sapphire
set in a hoop of brass, Is selected. Harry
4rges 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 apprehensive. Flora meets Kerr at 9

STRIKERS SING "MARsEILLAIsE.'

Led by throng Of women singing
the Marseillaise," several thousand
striking garment workers paraded
through the North Side factory district
of Chicago late yesterday. The march
ers visited each of the open shops in
that section of the city and shouted
derisively at non-union workers and
strikebreakers.
As soon as the large procession OF
strikers formed the police reserves were
hurried to the North Side and through
out the march the strikers were watch
ed closely. Several attempts at dis
order were quickly quelled by the
patrolmen, who made number of ar
rests.
At the headquarters OF the union
more than 5000 worn-looking men,
women and children cIamored yesterday
for small allowances with which to
stand off starvation. The struggling
mass crowded every approach to the
building and formed a pitiful spectacle
at the doors OF the City Hall andthe
principal banking houses there.

CRIPPEN'S APPEAL DISMISSED
The American Doctor Must Die on the
GaIlows Next Tuesday.

London, Nov. 5.-Dr. Harvey
Hawley Crippen must die on the
gallows next Tuesday for the murder
OF his wife, Belle Gilmore Crippen, I'M
less the Home Secretary interferes.
The Court OF Appeals today dismissed
motion made by Crippen for an
appeal, ruling that there was not
grounds for another hearing
Deathly pale, his twitching mouth
showing the strain under which he was
holding himself together, Crippen
presented pathetic appearance when
he faced the court today.
His attorneys won the first skirmish,
by being given the right to argue on
the question Of the. appeal. Justice
Ridley ruled that the prisoner could
not be present during the arguments.
But as soon as the court met in full
session, Justices Darling, Channel
and Pickford overruled Ridley's orders
md sent for the prisoner.
As soon as Crippen appeared, he be-
gan to confer with his counsel. Barris-
ter Tobin's first plea was that the
Jurors had not been isolated and that
here might have been outside COM
nuncation. This plea was overruled
by the justices.
Tobin then contended that the
prosecution introduced important evil
lcnce at an improper time, and in this
way deprived the defense OF its right to
rebut the evidence.
This plea did not make much i'm
preston on the court, and Tobin then
declared that the body was not suffi-
iently identified as that OF Belle e.
more Crippen. He contended that the
identification, even il it had been posi-
live, would not have proved that a
murder had been committed.
In his final summing up, he said
that even II it had been proved that a
murder had been committed there was
no proof that Crippen was the murderer.
The justices then declared that no
sufficient ground had been shown for
rehealing. Crippen's attorneys, though
greatly disappointed declared that their
next step would lie to ask the Home
Secretary to either to commute the
death sentence to life imprisonment or
to grant Crippen a complete pardon.
| It is considered most unlikely that any
,ower now can intervene 70 save the
prisoner from dying on the scaffold
next Tuesday, The general belief is
that the home Secretary will decline 10
| take auy action.

RosENHEIMER ACQUITTED.

After only 80 minutes of elaboration
a jury late yesterday acquitted Edward
T. Rosenheimer OF criminal negligence
in causing the death Of Miss Grace
Hough by running down in his auto
mobile the buggy in which she was rid
ing, in Now York. The case had been
followed with close attent on, because
OF the wealth OF the defendant and the
attempt Of the people to convict for
murder.
On the showing of the evidence, how
ever, Justice 0'Gorman withdrew from
consideration Of the jury the charge OF
murder in the first degree, then OF muir
der in the second degree and, finally,
manslaughter in the first degree, but
submitted the lowest form Of murder,
manslaughter in the second degree.
THE question for you gentlemen to
decide" he said, is, Did the defendant
employ reasonable care? Did he have
his car under reasonable control?"
Evidence was adduced to show that
the buggy carried no tail lamp and that
it was carcIessly driye.i, and the jury
found the testimony sufficient. Rosen-
heimer's young wife became hysterical
with Joy when she learned the verdict.
