Chapter 43 THE LOST JEWEL Dashing into Charters' vacant bedrocm as Marjorie and Sister Weldon waited sa. outside the walls—I took his keys from beneath his pillow and rushed into his con- ¢ulting room. Swiftly I unlocked a little door in the upper pari his big desk, the part that, con- sisting of pigeon-holes and cu boards, rose up at the back of the| which | leather-covered table part at he wrote. From a locked drawer in this cupboard I took another bunch of keys, among which was a small instrument shaped something liks | the blade of a screw-driver. With one cf these keys, T opened yet ancther little cupb , and on the flopr of this, I discovered a ne round hole. Inserting the In Charters’ desk | found the t of a large screw and withdrew it end of the upper part of the desk in both hands, and swung it round on its hidden central axis so that | it stood across the desk at right angles to its usual position. This exposed at each end of the desk, an area that was covered by the back of the desk when in* mormal position. . In each of these horizontal areas was a keyhole. With one cf the keys of the second bunch, I un- locked and raised a flap that cov- ergd a box, of which it was the lid, An this cavity were a number of small bottles labeled “Poison.” From one containing a red powder I withdrew the stopper, tipped out the contents, and exposed a small key. With this T unlocked and raised dhe lid of the cavity on the right hand side of the desk. This cavity also contained bottles, boxes, and tins. One of the latter, appar- ently a quarter-pound tchacco-tin that had never been opened, I re- moved and pocketed. It contained my Unsetting Sun. +My knowledge of its hiding-place was due partly to the skill, clever- courage, and persistence of H. William, and partly to own nightly prowlings, generally behind the heavy curtain served me so well on the of my visit to The Mon- ‘had recovered my diamond, now to me @ symbol of success thing of intrisic value.

And in the same hour I lost her, rather, learned .hat I had found too late. Perhaps suffering does—as poets {and moralists have sung and said I3 act upon the human mind as 1doces the furnace fire upon the earthly ore. | Perhaps pain and sorrow and suf- |fering are good, and it is true that |we emerge from them, "if emerge | we do, stronger and braver and bet- itcr I don't know. But I do know that I was able to meet this fresh blow as a man should, and to stand up to it, and | while standing up to it, conceal its | terrible effects. Or again, of course, it may be that I had received so shattering a | blow when Rosemary met her | dreadful fate, that my mind and soul had lost some of their ca- pacity for suffering. Anyhow—Marjorie was engaged to be married—a fact the possibil- |ity of which had positively never entered my mind. I had had so much else of which | to think that I had almost visual- |ized her as having mo outside re- lationships save with her weak, worthless uncle and his infamous wife. Marjorie was engaged to be mar- ried. Her fiance was in India. She would shortly be of age, and she | wiched to go out to him. So be it. T would take her and | | in containing my diamond. .| For three weeks I should be con- . Having done this, I seized one | tinually in her company. In that |time I would find out something |about her lover, and, at the end of it, T would meet him and sum him up. If Marjorie loved him, doubtless | he was worthy. But did she love him—or was it a boy and girl affair? Well . . . T should have that three weeks. Three weeks of Paradise ineffable, and, if it must be, “Paradise enow.” How shall I tell of that voyage? T cannot if I would. Like Dante, I have been in Heaven, but I am no Dante to tell of it. It lasted for a moment. It lasted for years—21 wonderful days, each of which was a year—each filled with wonderful and innumerable happenings of indescribable and unimaginable loveliness, joy and glory; a smile upon Marjorie's love- ly lips; & happy laugh, the sweetest music in this world; a pressure of loving hands upon my arm as we walked the moon-lit deck. For ‘hev were loving hands. Marjorie loved me, I'm sure, and, but for 1wr cousin, might have fallen in love with me, I verily believe. But who was I, gray, grim and battered—althouhg scarce 40 years of age—a hunted convict with a price upon his head? Who was I that I should make love to Mar- Jorie Lauderdell? One of the few things to which, in reviewing my life, I can look back with satisfaction, is the fact that loving, worshipping, adoring her as I did, I was able to refrain from making love to her. But I love to know that Marjorie loved me, found Love—and with it | seen the dorst and | vilest of them die at my feet lke| | " Associated Press Photo 15 Thomas Ash, jr., is in Tokyo making plans for a non-stop flight acrogs the Pacific ocean to Seattle, Wash, - and I love to think that, in hap- pier circumstances she might per- chance have fallen in love with me, and loved me indeed as I loved her. There is much of love in this last sentence. Well, it is better than hate and so, thanking Marjorie and God, let me end upon that note.
