Harriets Suspicion Led Her
 to the Door

to the Door
 My eyes opened wide with admira- ton as I threw wide the door for Dr. Braithwaite and his wife. l have always known that my stately sister in-law had more than the average feminine portion of good looks, but in the simply but eXduisitely cut black Nelget gown she wore she was regal. A curiously fashioned Oriental neck lace of jade and amber with match irg ear pendants and hair ornament caught my wondering and somewhat a-sd eyes. for the things struck even Uy unaccustomed observation as far oSt of the ordinarS.
 You're like an exquisite old paint Ng, Harriet" l said q bit breathless- E, as I ushered them into our liv- eG room.
 I'm old, certainly" she replied, with tinge of bitterness. and her fingers strayed significantly to her gray hair.
 "I didn't mean it in that sense, and you know it," I replied spirit edly. "I'll put it in another way. You're beautiful Isn't she, Edwin? ?''
 She always is," her husband re- piled dutifully, but there was some thing more than the perfunctory re- sponse in the proudly approving smile he gave her. I tucked the smile away in my memory, resolved 10 bring it out for Harriet's bene- fit if ever again she should confide to me a doubt of her husbands con stancy. How utterly foolish she was. mentally commented, to imagine a menace in her brilliant husbands fatherly affection for Katherine Bickett, who had been his right hand in his European war hospital, when he constantly betrayed his depend ence upon hts wife. his pride in her and his loyal love for her '
 story of the Jewcls
 She flushed like d school girl at her husbands tribute. began to chat ter in embarrassed fashion of the ornaments from which could not kep my admiring eyes.
 T sec you like my things" she said hurriedy. Almost everybody does"
 They are superb" said sincere ly, and ] never saw anything like them before"
 There isn't anything like them" her husband struck in, They were carved especially for her."
 He stopped abruptly, and his wife took np the story.
 Edwin is too modest to tell you how they came to me-" she said. Tt is quite romantic, I think. \ ,is- itlne Chinese dignitary became ex- tremely i'll in our city, and Edwin performed a most difficult emrr- gency operation upon him, saving the mans life when it was utterly despaired Of. He offered princeiy fec. but Edwin would only take what he considered A fair amount for the mans rank and wealth. Months later these arrived for me with note saying that they had been especially wrought for me by one of the most noted jewel workers in all China"
 '"1 wonder you dare carry them around with you" said.
 Harriet Not Worried
 "oh, they're safe enough" she replied with the first likeness to her careless brother that had observed They're not like diamonds. you know, their value lies in their de. sign. Jewel thieves wouldn't be at. tracted--and very few people know I have them. Besides''--she low cred her voice--"I have a specially constructed bag which takes care of these and my other saluables. So don't worry. By the way, where's Richard ?"
