As though forcing herself against her
will, she closed her eyes and drew
forth the bundle and necklace. Yes.
there could be no doubling the gen
uineness OF the rubies. Their scintil.
liant luster was fairly binding. But
she paid them little heed. Her fingers

Loubeque had taken no chances with

She had stolen a sheaf Of worthless
waste paper. The international spy

She clinched her pretty teeth tightly

herself over and over again the ques-
ton Of why-why had he bothered to
pursue her when he knew how she had
been misled; why had he not allowed
her to go her way and leave him safe
to transact the last act in his plan Of
revengeg Why-why-why had he
taken to himself so dangerous an en-
envy?
She knew he was fond of her, fond
of her in the same way her own father
was. but what Of that? Alone, with
the ruby necklace. she had sufficient
means to do as she pleased and be per-
fectly safe from any danger
But was she safe from any dangerP
Had she not been in danger before?
Yes. on the train. And the reason was
because Thompson knew she held the
ruby necklace. Thompson was one to
be feared and respected.
Softly she slipped down the vesti-
buled aisle. She had reasoned out the
answer. Thompson had escaped Lou
beque and, foiled in his attempt to
gain the necklace. was still in the pur.
suit.
Swiftly she stepped down the aisle,
through car after car. until she halted
abruptly and moved back again, for,

a second in that direction, her heart
thudding so violently at sight of the
diary and papers there that she was
fearful she would be heard Along
side the papers. its facets sending out
million flashes of reddest blood, lay
the strand of rubies. She marked the
involuntary ticking of the thief's
hands as he tiptoed toward them.
Not sound disturbed the silence,
but something caused her to dart
swift glance at the sleeper. His eyes
were narrowed. but open; lights of
amused malice in them she had never
suspected could show in mortal eyes.
lights so malignant she shuddered even
as she would have opened her lips to
cry a warning. The butler-thief drew
closer to the prize he had worked so
hard to gain. His thiefs fingers were
outstretched to grasp the necklace.

toward him. smashing upon the door
