let the matter drop, but the professor
knew how priceless was the find, and
| the thought that he had betrayed the
confidence Of guest was an addition
al source Of pain to the sensitive old
man.
| At last his condition became so grave
that lena was alarmed. The professor
would not consent to see physician.
He knew well enough that no medical
man could bring him relief. and as n
last resource Lena wrote Paul asking
him to come and see them. Already
Paul had gained reputation as a spe-
cialist, and since her father would not
go to see II physician the only thing to
be done was to bring the specialist to
him.
She laid nothing Of Paul's visit to
her father. and she arranged with
Paul to pretend that he had dropped
Off over on, train to pay short visit.
They met only at the table, and Paul's
first glance told him that his host was
laboring under some great mental
strain and that nothing could be done
until that strain was relieved. With
the idea of diverting the professors
out scarab.
At the sight Of 1t the professor half
rose from the table and uttered
hoarscJcry Of surprise. The scarab was
| the exact duplicate Of the one In the
secret compartment Of the safe, and,
not profiting by experience, Paul was
carrying this in his waistcoat pocket,
| as he had the other.
There were twoT asked the proA

He tossed the stone across the table,
and with trembling hands the pro-
fessor examined the gift. He would
have sworn to Its genuineness, but In
the face Of Paul's statement this
could not be so. He experienced an
odd sense Of relief. He was no less
thief, though there was not hanging
| over him the dread fear that he would
not be able to make restitution. He
passed the stone back to Paul.
