"Yes. Take it to Tiffany's"

He gave her keen look. The false
start had not escaped his ear. She had
been going to ask for five hundred dollars,
and had suddenly doubled the amount.
He acquiesced with short nod; but as
they walked together from the room he
questioned himself, disturbed by vague
doubts.
A S they crossed the lobby Gavock felt
his companion give start. lnvolun-
tarily he looked at her. The next moment
he saw her bow in recognition of an ac-
quaintance, and following her glance he OBJ
served young man short distance away

with which the stranger favored him in
passing caused Gavock to stare in turn,
and he noted longish face with Van
dyke beard. flashing black eyes. and fine,
straight nose,-handsome, in the Mephis-
to type, but hardly prepossessing.
The incident was momentary. Miss
Lowther made no comment; but Gavock
saw that her small, white teeth were
pressed deep into her lower lip. Had the
encounter with her young friend been not
altogether to her liking? he wondered.

presently. But please don't take the
covering off entirely If anyone saw it"
SHE passed the thing across to him. and
he lowered it beneath the level of the
table before lifting the handkerchief.
Within he found large Greek cross
studded with emeralds and diamonds.
His eyes flew back to hers with swift sur
prise and inquiry.
