goldsmith to buy an engagement ring.
An exquisite sapphire set in a hoop of
brass is selected. Harry urges her not to
wear IL until it is reset. The possession
OF the ring seems to cast a spell over

Iuii view of the house.
Kerr was not in sight. but there
was tremor of disturbance where
all had been still Clara's face an
peared at one of the upper windows
and looked down into the garden.
lnen Mrs. Herrick came down the
stairs, and, showing an anxious pro-
ME as she passed the door. hurried
away along the lower hall. There was
nutter in the servants quarter. and
from side door the coachman ap-
peared hatless, in his shirt sleeves,
and ran toward the stable. All the
people of the house seemed to be run
ming to and fro, but she didn't see
Sarry. This struck her with unrea-
soning terror. She fed up the drive.
and Clara's small face at the window
watched her.
AS she came into the hall she heard
herf voice. He was at the tele-
phone speaking names she had never
heard in sentences whose meaning
was too much for her stunned senses
TO take in; but none the less while
she listened the feeling crept over her
that there was some strange revo-
luton taking place in him. 1t might
be transformation; it might be only
swift increase of his original power
Whatever it was, he seemed to her
superhuman. The house was full of
him-full of his rapid movement, his
ringing orders. If he knew that the
sapphire was gone, what was the
meaning of this bold command? Was
he, knowing all lost, plunging gallant
ly into the clutches of his enemies? Or
was this only blind, a splendid piece
OF effrontery to cover his too long de-
layed retreat? She sat like a Joint
less thing on the fauteuil in the large
hall, and all at once she saw him in
front Of her
She looked at his hat, his overcoat,
his slim, glittering stick-all symbols
of departure
Wait here" he said, and turned
away.
She watched his shadow dance
across the tagging, and as it slipped
over the threshold she thought duly
that now the sapphire was gone every
one was going from her.

pushing up her little misty veil, sat
down with her back to the deserted
breakfast table, and waited meekly
like one who has been summoned.

saic. Her wits were still all a-futter
from the appearance of that little
heap OF gold. She came forward and
stood in Harry's place. She was face
to face with the person and the ques-
ton, but before the great import of it,
and before the marble front of Clara's
patience she felt helpless. There was
silence in the room, perfect silence in
the garden; but moving along the
hedged walk all at once she saw the
nutter Of Mrs. Herrick's gown, and
then In profile Kerr beside her ne
sight of him gave her her proper in
spiration. She turned upon Clara.
What are you going to do with the
picture OF Farrell Wanda"
For the first time she saw Clara

breath that came and went between

involuntarily, but she sat there smil-

seconds. At last, You want me to
suppress my information? My dear
Flora, don't you think you want me-
to do more than is honest?"
"Honest!" Flora cried. The words
sounded hideous to her on Clara's
tongue; and yet what right had she.

Flora wondered. Depth below depth
she could never seem to get to the
bottom of this business. There was
only one thing she could count on
and that was Clara's impeccable hon.

sealed that bargain now She held out
her futtering slip of paper, still wet
with ink
Very well, in two hours-but take

Clara reached the tips of her fin
gers, touched the paper-and then it
was no longer in Flora's hand. and
Clara was walking from her across
the room.

Out Of the chaos OF her feeling rose

watched 1t drawing near her with
wonder. She sat up trembling. She
had great longing and horror to

could not have told afterward whether
Clara spoke to her. She was con-

deceived her. She studied it with
passionate earnestness. She did not
know the bearded profile; but in the
burly shoulders, in the set and swing
of the body in motion, more than all
in the lowering, peering aspect of the
whole figure, she began to see a IA
