line to Scotland Yard informing the
commissioners of the presence of
such a man as the Russian in Lon
don. and of the Gargantuan jewel he
carried. Then l went home through
the fog and the humid night; but my
way was lighted by memory Of the
magnificent gem | had seen. and the
hunger for the opal was already upon
me.
The inquiry at Scotland Yard proved
quite futile. The police telegraphed
to Paris, to Berlin, to st. Petersburg,
to New York, but got no tidings eth
er of a robbery or of the man whom
mere circumstances pointed at as a
pretender. This seemed to me the
more amazing since l could not con-
ceive that a stone such as this was
should not have made a sensation in
some place. Jewels above all ma
terial things do not hide their light

find at Kimberley or in the Murmese
mines; let fine emerald or n perfect
turquoise be brought to Europe. and

and without 1t was a beggar. had been
n worker at Cerwenitza, he would have
told me the fact plainly. But he spoke
of the opal being older even than the
famous and commonly cited specimen
at Vienna. How came 1t that he alone
had the history of such an ancient
gem? There was only one answer to
such a questionable history Of his
possession of 1t, at any rate, would
not bear inquiry.
Such perplexity was not removed by
Abel's account Of his journey after
Carmalovitch. He had followed the
man from Piccadilly to Oxford Circus;

evidently a lodging house. Offering
that fare of shabbiness and dirt which
must perforce be attractive to the
needy.
All these things did not leave my
mind for the next week. l was in daily

answered; but you can believe me, he

true; there is not such a man In all
your city-and he has suffered. You
may buy this beautiful thing now. and
you will never regret it. l tell you SO
from all my heart"
But surely, madame" said I. "you
must see that l cannot pay such a
price as your husband Is asking for
his property II he will not even tell
me who he is, or where he comes

of G 900 upon the price asked but 10
days ago. What did 1t mean? took
up the gem, which the woman had
placed upon the table, and saw In a
moment. The stone was dimming. 1t

old woman's tales of the capricious

ever witnessed for myself such an
mistakable depreciation. The woman
read the surprise In my eyes, and an

full, and her dark eyes touched with
tears.
You see what I see," she said.
'The Jewel that you have in your

there are as the light of his hope.
When he is Ill, the opal fades; when
he dies, it will die, too. That is what
I believe and he believes; it is what

himself, never left 1t. Meanwhile,
began to think that l had betrayed
exceeding poor judgment in raising
the question at all. AS the days went
by I suffered that stone hunger which

began to believe that l had lost by
my folly one of the greatest posses

the end of the opal mystery. when one
morning, the moment after I had en-
