But Pearl. at this moment was in
no such optimistic mood. She had
heard the lock snap behind Has
san. and knew herself to be practi-
cally a prisoner in this house. And
she feared trickery, not quite liking
the look she had seen in Hassan's
eyes. Nor did she fancy Hassan's
ordering old Haggi from the room.
for old HaggI was a sincere and
honorable man and he would have
eountenanced no unfairnsss to the
girl he had brought into this
suburban rendezvous OF that she
felt sure
It was with tremendous relief,
therefore. that she presently heard
the bolts slide back again and found
herself once more face to face with

to witness the transfer Of the long
sought gem But among them Pearl

Smiling at daybreak from q saffron sky.

counted her stitches She and
Helen were making sets for the
sailors and, while Helen knitted a.
eaSuaIly - she talked. Louise was
Just learning and was slower In the

Helen smiled II it had been any
ether woman speaking. she would
have been loyal to Warren. would
have thought up . definite excuse,
and would have pretended that she
perfectly agreed with his decision.
But women as q general rule feel
Inherently about members OF the
family and Helen had more or less
always connded IN Louise. Helen,
needless to say. was not one of those
8toIcal women who keep things to
themselves and suffer injustices in
silence
Louise, have been dying to run
the car" Helen confded. 81 miss 1t

couldn't possibly AFFORD one. but I
thought Warren was doing so well"
IT thought so. too, Louise, but
don't really believe that anyone is
doing we'll these days. OF course We
have TO put on a false 'front.'
Helen looked up as she spoke
She was curious to know why Louise
was questioning her so closely.
Louise. have you anything to tell
me that ought to known" she asked
finally.
Louise redeemed. then she spoke.
'oh, I don't know. Helen, hate to
feel that am making trouble I
suppose Bob would be furious II he
knew that I had said anything at
all to you about it." she hesitated-
Helen had put down her knitting.
Tea she saia very quietly.

ear last night"
Helen looked her Amusement
But Louise, are you sure7-
''of course, do you think I'd say
anything about It II 1 weren't sure7
I thought I understood you to say
that the car was IN storage, that's
why asked you about It thought
perhaps you knew of It and that
Warren had decided to use IT"
why, no. Helen sAid slowly.
Tn as surprised as you are. Louise.
Tn hurt that Warren would do a

the diamond,
But the bars were strong ana
