THE BETTER MAN
LxxxvII-ALL FOR A RING
By MAY CHRISTIE
1t, 1921 by the Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate )

The story thus far:
 Camille Westbrook has gone to South Africa with Dolly Mortimer, her little butterfly friend. who has made the trip from London to join her husband at Johannesburg. Elliot Glyn, in love with Camille. has made the trip with them. The has in her possession q valuable ring which she has accepted from Reggie Van TuyL young about-town always in financial difficulties, as security for a loan. On shipboard and again in South Africa attempts are made to steal the ring from her. At Durban she and Elliot are strolling on the lawn together after dinner at Lady Kilmornys. Camille suddenly points eXcitedly to the hedge. She insists that she saw Reggie Van Tuyls face there for a moment. Perhaps it was he, she thought. who had tried to get the ring from her. She admitted to Glyn that the ring was Reggie's and he misunderstood.
 It was quite possible, thought Glyn. that Van Tuyl had actually been aboardship working his passage as a fireman. Glyn himself, In his earlier days. had done something of the sort.
 And hadn't he heard queer reports of this Van Tuyl in certain London set? Reggie was deep in debt, and. partly to avoid his creditors, and partly to follow Camille he had joined the ships crew and travelled on the same boat, incognito? The explanation was quite feasible.
 He had heard queer tales, too, out in Africa of the doings of one Van Tuyl. who had once made Kimberley too hot to hold him. Was this the identical fellow? wondered Glyn. Then he refined in his thoughts, for Camille still trembled.
 'I've got box of matches and we'll search the hedge and satisfy our selves that no ones there" Glyn rose and crossed the narrow strip of grass, He struck light, and the vesta famed up strongly in the calm. clear air. Then. with his right hand, and holding the wax match aloft, he thrust back the Barbadoes-t thorn and peered about him.
 T don't see anyone" he said, brisk ly.
 Camille took courageous step for ward.
 NO one at all?" Her heart slack ened its wild beating, and she gave a sigh of relief. Perhaps, as you said, imagined it?
 But suddenly there was a flashing in the undergrowth on the other side of the Barbadoes- thorn. and tramp ing down of twigs and plants, as though someone had taken fright and was running off as quickly as possi- ble.
 Camille gave little squeal.
 "Yes. There is someone. I wasn mistaken" gasped she.
 Van Tuyl turned to her and lit an- other match. The girl was white and her eyes wide with fear.
 'Yes, somebody was there, but why let that worry you? Two other gar
