he could tell her this. OF course
he cared more for other and older
women than for her. She drew a
long breath OF mingled disappoint'

He smiled quizzically.
Would you mind 50 much:
he queried.
She did not return his smile.
II would mind very much. Where
does the money that I. live on
now come from? Please tell me-"
He hesitated. "It could come
from several sources" he replied.
Either could advance 1t and
you could reimburse me later, or
I could get an order from the
court allowing me enough money
for, your maintenance until your
affairs are settled"
II see," she said thoughtfully.
IT prefer that you get the money
from the court"
She did not understand just
what that meant. but she knew
that she did not wish to borrow
from him at this juncture. If
she asked for money, she must
feel that 1t was coming from her
fathers estate. For. after all,
her fathers money was virtually
hers.
You see," she tried to explain.
II may want to do something
with my money that you might

OF course, she reflected, he
would suspect that she was
thinking of Rankin's uplift
scheme. Well, if he did what
then? He may as we'll. be pre-

was right. ...

Tradition says that one of the
three great stones belonging to
Charles the Bold. picked up after
the battle of Granson by a Swiss
peasant, is the "Florentine." A
priest bought it from the peas

May, a merchant OF Berne, for
1900. A Genoese who bought it
from him sold 1t to Ludovic
Sforza, Duke Of Milan.
Tavernier saw the stone and
placed its value then at 2,60s,333
livres, or in round figures about
$520,000. He described it as
clear, brilliant, citron-color brio

AA had always run with the

And it was beginning to tell on

He wondered how much longer
1t would have to last. The quiet

that silence could become such q

that huddled island of unrest, be-

midnight could not fix the seal OF
silence, must swarm a multitude

above a hive. But none Of these
came to that locked and shattered
wharf-shed along q lonely and
gleep-wrapped waterfront, where
Lambert and the man who sought
him were prisoners.
Kestner fell to wondering how
many hours they had been shut in
there together, and how much
longer the darkness would last.
He had no means of Judging the
time. He dramatized the coming
Of morning, picturing to himself
the first faint inkling of the first
faint glimn1er of gray. He could
imagine the anxiety with which
that vague glininer would be
watched, the tensity with which
he and his enemy would peer at
each other through the slowly 1T
ing translucent veil, the breath
lessness with which the first ac-
tual light would be welcomed, the
suddenness with which the 'ihevi-
table encounter would then Begin
That encounter, he knew, was
bound to take place. Lambert,
after that night, could never get
away. Lambert, indeed. could
have no immediate wish to get
away. That counterfeiter, with
out scratcher or breaker or col
league left, would never think Of
fleeing from New York and leav-
ing behind him those three mil
lions in bank notes, still sealed In
their oil-tins so artfNlly weighted
with sand and cork-dust. And
those oil-tins could not be opened
and moved without Kestner's
knowledge.
No, Lambert was there, breath
ing the same heavy odor of baled
Morocco leather and spices and
tropical fruit shot through with
the homelier ammoniacal smell
from the planking where countless
draught horses had stood. He was
there on the lonely fringe of the
great city from which he had fled;
and he was there, waiting. watch
ing, knowing that the time for
finalities could not long be de-
layed.
But the wait seemed an endless
one.
Kestner found relief in studi.

A clever office boy was learning
the insurance business.
Approached one day by q tu-
nereal person, the boy asked the
stranger: What can do for you
In the way Of insurance-life, an.
nlfities, fire. or what?"
"Can you insure the immortal
soul?" asked the stranger mys-
teriously.
II am not quite certain replied
the youth, "but If you. will take

with this in view left the
situation to Betty. After some
time. however, realized that
Ralph had come to the door at
my office and was standing
watching me. I looked up and
n1urmured a greeting.
