Gated, by the Greek government, as
her most distinguished medical repre-
sentative and publicist, to attend the
International Congress of Penologists
at Boston. But the first few days sit
tings had so disheartened the doctor,
convincing him that his own theories
would never gain him a hearing, and
would, in fact, seriously prejudice his
country, that he had withdrawn from
the congress and was making my home
his headquarters during the period oc-
cupied by some special researches,
about whose nature he had not enlight-
ened me
On the following morning we re-
ceiVed two letters from Mr. Tarrant,
in which he apologized for his inabll-
ity to ask us to dinner on account of
the death of a near relative of Mrs.
Tarrant, and reiterated his desire that

We knew that such an invitation
could not be refused without the pos
sibility OF seriously affronting the mil

somewhat tedious round of the mu-

case. Mr.. Tarrant's collection consist

ages, the Assyrian room was quite a

up into the faces of bull-headed kings
with wings, broken-faeed Eoddesses,
and colossi of black marble and gran
lite. At one end of the room were a
number of packing eases. forming a
barrier across one-third of it's length;
down the center were the customary
glass cases filled with gems, stones of
all sorts, fragments of clay inscrip-
lions, etc. We made the round slowly.

Doctor Emmanuel walked over TO
her; he placed one hand on either
shoulder and looked into her unwink-

Helen" he said quietly, open your
hands!"
There was a moment of uncertainty,
then the hard eyes closed and the
hands opened obediently. With a cry
of eXultation, Mr. Tarrant pounced
upon an object held in one of them-a
massive ring containing an enormous
engraved stone which looked like a
sardonyx.

Doctor Emmanuel turned round and

First, let me tell you something
about this treasure, he continued,
waxing enthusiastic THE amulet is
supposed to have been made for the
high priest of Marduk, at Babylon.
According to the cuneiform inscription,
it was kept by the priestess of Ishtar
pending the completion of Marduk s
colossal temple, and it is believed
since it was discovered in the ruins of
the temple of Ishtar, that for some
cause the priestess never delivered it,
Perhaps it was hidden. perhaps the
city was destroyed before the transfer
could be made. At any rate, it was a
most sacred object and, from the fact
that it was made in two halves, il is
certain that the highest yalue was
placed upon it, But l am wearying
