CHAPTER III.

Kestner lay stretched out along
his counter-top, carefully consid-
ering his predicament. Steadily,
from the next room, came the
consoling clank and pound of the
bed press. Occasionally from the
shooting gallery in the adjoining
building crept the thin and muf-
fled bark Of the target rifles.
Now and then, too, he could hear
the faint drone of a steamer whis-
tie somewhere out on the East
river. But beyond this narrow
cantata of noises no enlightening
sounds came to him.

LOVELORN
Beatrice Fairfax

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
At times my sweetheart
shows he cares for me and then
again acts very reserved.
Now, I am positive that I
have done nothing to offend
him, as am always careful
how I act and speak in his
presence. L feel much hurt by
his indifference and therefore
am writing to ask your advice
regarding the attitude I should
assume toward him.
"PUzZLED."
CUPPOSE your sweetheart IL re-
served now and then, this does
not mean anything more than
that he has a personality Of his
own and claims his right to ex-
press it. Don't nag at him.
Permit him to have his quiet
moods and strive to win him to
the happy certainty that you
understand and sympathize with
him rather than that you insist
on having what you want all the
time, regardless Of how he feels.

Then, as I preceded him and
followed the head waiter through
a maze of tables, Tony kept up
running fire Of remarks that en-
gagged my attention and caused
me to keep turning my head to
answer him.
So 1 didn't see Carlotta until
we were right at the table. With
the quick chiValry that has an
engaging, boyish quality, Carlotta
sprang to her feet to greet me.
Her face was glowing. I've never
seen her more warm and vital
and less flamboyant. She was
tender and Tony was proud. Sud-
denly 1 realized all that this
might mean. I looked from one
to the other and I felt my eyes
getting misty. So I sat down
quickly and blinked at the lunch
cloth for a second.
At once each of them laid q
hand over one of mine.

we tell you" murmured Carlotta.

Carlotta laughed. There was
the rich satisfaction of complete
fulfillment in her laugh.

The Famous Akbar Shah Diamond.
" EW diamonds in the history
of the world have ever been
- engraved, but one with an
ancient Oriental association was
the "Akbar Shah"
AS far as known, its first owner
vas the Great Mogul Akbar, who
died in 1905. Later, his famous
successor, Shah Jehan, had en-
graved on two sides Of it the fol-
lowing inscriptions in Arabic:
Shah Akbar,
The Shah of the World.
1923 A. H."
On the reverse side:
ITO the Lord of the Two Worlds.
1899 A. H.
Shah Jehan."
II founded on the Hejira or
Fuselli era, these dates would
correspond to somewhere about
1929 of the Christian era. The
stone disappeared at the close Of
the seventeenth century and was
lost until late in the nineteenth
century, when it was recognized
in Turkey by the inscriptions. 1t
was known there as the "Shep-
herds stone" In February. 1866,
George Blogg purchased it in
Constantinople, brought it to Lon
don and had it recut from 116
English carats to a drop-shade
diamond of seventy.two carats.
The inscriptions, unfortunately,
were destroyed in the cutting.
He sold it to the Gaikwar of Ba-
roda for f35, 900.
Tradition says that the "Akbar
Shah" was one of the four splen-
did stones in the eyes of the pea
cocks of the famous peacock
throne of the Moguls, constructed
by Shah Jehan, that extraordinary
sovereign who also built the
Tai Mahal, the most beautiful
marble statue ever created by
man. The peacock throne was
seized by Nadir Shah, of Persia,
at the sack of Delhi.

H.-WAYWARD HUSBANDS.
RR. GEORGE: I heard last
|" night at the club that
AVA Doris is really going to
divorce her husband. It's really
rather dreadful. for everybody
thought they were so happy. OF
course, I know there's been q
good deal of talk, and he was
wrong to let 1t grow into a real
scandal, but all the same. you
know, Bertram is a charming fel-
low. popular, successful, and
awfully generous to Doris. On
the whole I'm not sure whether
women aren't. sometimes foolish
to get SO awfully excited about
an let US say, an erTatic
husband, If he's good to them
otherwise.
MRS. GEORGE: Well, darling,
don't know if you're hayward,
but il find you out I'll divorce
you. No, don't murmur "puri.
tan" under your breath; don't
care how hayward you were be-
fore you married, but after mar
riage man doesn't run after
other women if he loves his wife.
You say he's nice to Dorisi
If he's nice he's not sincere, and,
Of course, Doris has noticed that.
And you say he's generous! OF
course he's generous since he can
afford to be. And I'll tell you
something else; a mans generous
to his wife when he's got no love
to give her.
MR.. GEORGE: I'll remember
that. Will you have a little more
love and smaller allowance? But,
seriously, it's a question Of alter
natives for Doris. What one
wants to know is whether she'll
be happier without Bertram,
whether she still care for him. If
she does, then she's a fool to let
him co. because as time goes
by she may get him back. Men
don't look upon these things
quite so severely as women. and
women can't get on with us un-
less they understand that, and IN
less they make up their minds to
treat masculine WayWardness with
a little charity.

He stopped speaking, for the
telephone bell beside him shrill-

Kestner, still sitting at the desk,

II thought iyou were goin' to

The man in the Stetson hat had
taken the topmost sheet from the
pad, folded up, and placed it ir:
his wallet. He stood for mo
ment or two without speaking,
his alert eyes studying the other
mans STOPPING shoulders, The
silhouette of that somnolent figure

them off. Then he made a show
Of clambering heavily UP on the

as he covered his legs with

"Sleep tight" he heard the
stranger call back to him as he
closed the door-and the man on
the counter suddenly lifted his
head, for he felt sure of touch
of mockery in that apparently
blithe-noted farewell.
Then a sensation not altogether
conducive to quiet repose sped
through Kestner's body. He had
distinctly heard the sound of a
key being turned in the lock and
then withdrawn. That meant ne
had been made aprisoner. And
the Secret Agent was further

as he shifted the betraying smell
Of benzine.
Sure" said the other man,
pulling open one. of the desk
drawers and flinging a form-pad
on the battered table top. His
next movement was one of i'm
patience. "You sign here" he
said as a stubby forefinger touch
ed the bottom of the pad.
The Oil Can
"I do a little printin' myself"
Amiably persisted the new re-
cruit. He sat stiffly down at the
desk and took up pen. Then he
leaned close over the form, pos
:sessed of sudden desire to con-
zeal his face. For on the floor,
at one end of the desk where he
sat, stood a gallon cana can
from which the top had been cut
away. Yet the insignia and the
lettering on this can testified to
the fact that it must recently
have held olive oil. And oil,
.Kesner knew, could have been
poured readily enough from the
unsealed spout in a corner of the
severed top What startled him,
however, was the discovery that
the can bore the same stamp as
those which had been stored full
Of sand and counterfeit paper in
the Lambert printing plant at
Palermo.
:. Kestner, as he leaned in sleepy
detection. over the printed form
and scrawingly attached r sig
nature to its bottom, was not as
absentminded as his appearance
implied. He could see that the
shooting-gallery abovestairs was
merely a trap to gather in ad-
Venturous roustabouts and beach
combers and strike-breakers
These worthless were apparently
being drafted for some dubious ex-
petition into Latin-American poll
tics. What that expedition was
did not greatly interest the man
who had so recently sworn alleg-
lance to the cause. What held his
attention was the fact that this
movement was being financed by
spurious Lambert money, that he
himself carried two of those coun-
terfeit yellowbacks in his pocket,
and that the murderer of Morella
had in some way associated him
self with the brick-skinned man
in front of him.
Kestner still leaned sleepily
over the desk top. He was de-
manding of himself what deal
Lambert in his desperation could
have made with this adveturer
from the tropics.
