| There was something about the
stone along about this time that
1 definitely didn't like. l handed
il back 10 the old man and checked
an impulse to look at my fingers 10
make sure that none of the red
had come off on them. A shiny
stone no bigger than a hens head,
and yet with power stored in its
suspended fires sufficient 10 break
a heart, or crush human soul.
The old man who showed me
this ruby is a jeweler, but l was

TRAYS OF GEMS

low table under brilliant lights,

tray of precious gems in all the
colors of the spectrum.
l picked up a cavalier Of emer-
aids and diamonds that almost
pulsed with life. There was a
little bracelet of 400 sapphires.
There was a weighty necklace of
rainbow gems with a green rain
drop in the center of the pendant
which the old man said was one OF
the few unflawed emeralds in the
world. There were pearls

There apparently was no need for
such protection.

by the Able du Bots, a French
who lived as an Indian
in India for 30 years. He says
that HinduS just don't know the
meaning of honesty and that temp
tation can conquer every one.
