BRITISH MUSEUM GETS GEMS
Sir Arthur Herbert Church BeGueathet
Rare and Valuable Collection to
Famous institution.

For many years the late Sir Arthur
Herbert Church devoted himself tn
collecting precious stones, with the re-
suit that when he died he had one OF
the finest collections in Great Britain
Whatever speculation may have arisen
as to what would become of the col
lection has been finally laid to rest by
the announcement that it has just been
given to the British museum. Sir Ar
thur was long the president of tho
Neurological society and in his eX-
ploration work discovered several new
minerals The collection consists of
more than 200 stones, mostly mounted
in rings, and every specimen unique.
Sir Arthur devoted his attention par
ticularly to the products of Ceylon and
for many years was able to secure the
pick of the rarer species of gems that
came to light there. To the mineralo-
gist the pride of the collection is a
magnificent aurora-red specimen of
spessartite, a variety of garnet that
seldom provides stones large and clear
enough for jewelry purposes. Weigh
ing over six karats and beautifully cut
III the modern fashion the stone stands
practlcally alone in bts.e literature Of
gems. In addition the collection in
cludes the most varied series of zir,
cons in existence, and there are also
excellent assortments of tourmalines,
topazes, emeralds, opals and spinels.
The opals include two fine stones OF
jet black color.

shouted McDougal and explained with
many gestures that they were to ride

McDougal held out an awkward
hand in farewell. You're ready, Mr.

yes" said Alan between chattering
teeth, and then cried, ''No. want the
board-my epitaph thing, you know"
McDougal dived into the tent and
brought out the board with the roughly
cut words that he could not read but
somehow began to understand. He
slipped it into the hammock behind the
cushions and then just touched Alan's
hand and gave the word to the men.
They started off in shambling, rapid
trot. The horseman fell in behind. A
cloud of dust cut them off from Nc
DougaPs gaze. He turned and fell
upon his laboring squad with a rolling
food of curses. To them the words
were Greek, but nevertheless their
blood curdled and they worked as only
Wayne had taught them.

from that it poised on Alan and then

What had Alan done with her? He
must ask him. That, at least, he must

must decide about Margarita and steel
himself to his purpose. He thought of

struggle and the reward that had been

steadfastness that had led Alan to

Lieber looked at his patient with an

Gerry.
Lieber dropped the sheet and went
