words die on his lips as he saw the

Plainly she, too, was cropping Tor a

swiftly, she turned a smaller KNOB

compartment in which she kept her

felt for a cigarette.
The match fell from his fingers as
the inner door opened to his search

light slashed the comparative gloom
of the compartment as Mrs. Missioner
brought forth tray after tray from the
jewel vault. The steel box in the cen

sort In settings Of every fashion,
ranging from the product Of twentieth
century jewelers. back to the loved
works Of Byzantine artiticers. Little
Miss March gasped again as the wild

rug.
