Then she took a last look round the little sitting- ‘oom. - She breathed a. litile sigh. She hated to leave if. “Goodrbye, little room,” she said. And .then, half closing her eyes as' if in pain, she whisptred, “Goed- oye, Teddy—you dear.” She picked up her litile suit- case and walked slowly along th2 spacious, - heavily -carpeted landihg. In a corner of the landing against 1 window stood an attenuated palm on ‘& pedestal. Jacqueline uncon- sclously halted in front of it. It was the twin brother of the palm in her own sitting room. She looked round. There was acbody on the landing but herself. She took hold of the palm by its stem and lifted it easily and clean- ly out of the pot. And curled up at the bottom of the pot lay the necklace of 32 grad- ! yated diamonds with the star pund-i ant! Hardly knowing what she was doing, Jacqueline clawed it “out, dirp and all, and hurried through, the vestibule into the street, reftis- ing the hall porter’s urgent offer;to vall her a cab. o The mystery of the disappedring diamonds, was abupdantly eleat, One of the chambér-maids had shanged the palm in her room with the one on the landing. And now, Jacqueline, very much to her dis- may, had the thing once more in her possession. (Copyright, 1930, Richard Stary) Misfortune never comes sing- ly, poor Jacqueline finds.
