known, however. that he met Miss
Mat MacCallum OF Albany. that they
became engaged. and that he gave her
the engagement ring.
Probably he became engaged to
Miss MacCallum while piQued over
losing Miss Carberry. At any rate.
Miss MacCallum wore the ring for
nearly q month. Then 1t disappeared
as mysteriously 40 It had done before.
The girl either was deceitful or
rather frightened over the loss. and
instead Of confessing It she wrote
and broke the engagement and stated
that she never had cared enough for
him to marry him and that their on
gagement had been . mistake. She
did not mention the ring.
Ring Rsturns to Owner.
Three days after he received the
letter from Miss MacCallum he rs'
ceived q nice little note from Miss
Carberry. She thanked him for send
Ing the ring. showing her that In
spite of Misunderstanding he still
trusted her. The ring. she said. was

ing convinced that there was no
danger he confessed everything and
was forgiven. They agreed to be
married in three weeks and Ladd
jokingly insisted thnt wedding ring
was necessary to hold that engage
ment ring on her finger.
Ring Found on Ladd's Desk.
Two nights afterward the ring dis.
appeared again. while she slept. Miss
Carberry insisted. and the following
day Ladd found It circling q twisted
spile Of paper on his desk. On the
paper were two words. "Ha! Hal"
written In q large. bold hand. and
those two words furnish the only
clew to the mystery.
Instead of writing Ladd went direct
to the home of his fances and de-
manded to know whether she were
trifiing with him. The result was
another quarrel and q separation.

Carberry declaring she never wanted

Ladd proved resourceful that time.
He brought q new engagement ring.
and he pledged himself to throw the
other away II she would accept him
again. She agreed that II the new
ring would remain on her finger for
two months she would marry him and
they would know that the other ring
was hoodooed.
For two months the new ring
sparkled on the third finger OF her
left hand. Then the date was set
and a short time ago they ran down
to Atlantic City for little outing and
threw away the hoodooed ring that
had caused them 80 much trouble.

The story Of the Ill luck that has
followed the ring and It's peculiar ad
ventures leads toward the realm OF
uncanny mysteries. No explanation
yet has been offered. no theory
evolved beyond that the whole thing
must have been the work of some hu.
man enemy Of either Ladd or his
fiancee.
Nothing Extraordinary In Principals.

he has business in New York but
resides in Brooklyn. down In the Pros

More beautiful, more precious than
