"Ah, no, no, no. no! re-eChOeu through the house.
 By George, he has Duse and Bern- hardt simply skinned to death" Fred dy chuckled
 Give me the ring. Freddy" Oakley said. q think I'll go downstairs and kick him out"
 Mingled with Mary's soothing con traIto and GinhOuliac's shrill hysteria came an expCstulNtory growL
 "Conround 1t, sir, you're behaving like foolr IL said
 "The governor" Oakley exclaimed. When was kid he always said .Confound 1t. sir just before he whal- ed the life out of me. EXertion's bad for him, too. guess I'll go down."
 He took the stairs four at jump, while Freddy went back to the library and closed the door behind him. For ten minutes the untitled sound of voices came in faint waves from the ground floor. until decisive bang of the front door brought the conference to a close.
 Freddy had been standing by the H. brary window. gazing idly Into the street, and he saw Ginhouliac leave the house. For one brief moment the en- ragged Italian stood muttering on the curb. Between his thumb and finger he beiG the ring. which gllttered and flashed in the afternoon sunlight; then, raising his hand above his head, he flung it far into the roadway.
 As Freddy turned from the window Oakley entered
 Sorry to have kept you waiting" he said. but we've had the dickens of row downstairs"
 "Only n lovers quarrel. l hopeT Freddy suggested.
 "A very violent one" Oakley replied. "The fact Is, when Mary said she didn't think his ring wns valuable enough to make all that fuss about. Ginhoullac grew rabid and actually swore at her He apooglaed Immediately and said bo thought she was calling his price l less old heirloom vulueleSs gift. Aft CT that. of course. Mary refused to have anything more to do with him. and when 1 gave her the ring she iTl- sisted on bis taking the precious thing"
 was he glad to get 1t back?" Fred dy asked.
 Iue governor says that when he heard 1t was lost he acted like q man scared out of hIs wits. Apparently he valued 1t very highly"
 Nevertheless 1 don't think be did" Freddy rejoined.
 How do you knowT" said Oakley.
 Because l was standing by the win dow Gs he went out, and l saw him throw the ring into the street."
 "ImposslblP!" Oakley calculated.
 A few minutes later the two young men, aided by the servants and half the small boys of the neighborhood, were poking in the dust of West End avenue for the discarded bauble. They searched without avail. however, until dusk.
 q guess 1t must have gone down a sewer opening" said Freddy.
 "0r into the pockets of one of the searchers," Oakley corrected. 'In any event it's gone"
 "Amen!' Freddy murmured piously. 'I'm going home to clean up."
 Oakley shook him warmly by the hand.
 Were all very much obliged to you," he said. q hope you'n come around again this evening"

 Not only on that evening, but on many succeeding evenings Freddy call ed at the Oakley residence, until, six months later, Mary was ready to wear another ring. .
 ''NO heirlOoms for mlnew said Fred dy as he took the measure of her third finger with piece of string. It shall be the conventional solitaire and the blueSt whiteSt or the whitest bluest on Maiden lane!'
 Accordingly, bright and early the next morning Freddy jumped off Broadway car at the corner of Maiden lane and caromed from a policeman to stunted newsboy. who was vigorous ly shouting the latest afternoon edi- tion of an evening paper. He steadied himself by seizing the youngsters shoulder Easy there, my boy!" he cried, and then he recognized the youth. "As I l live" he shouted, fits Tagliatela! | Greetings, Taylorr'
 The embarrassed Tagliatela wriggled | and struggled to free himself, but Fred dy held him close |
 Come on to the sidewalk" he said. 'I'm not going to harm you"
 He drew his reluctant captive to a shop window and proceeded to inter rogate him.
 ''Do you ever go to the Tasso Settle ment these days|
 "NawT' Taylor replied. Its blown ID since Ginhouliac beat It."
 Beat it?'"'
 Sure" Taylor continued. He went pack to de old country" I saNn,,
