He leaned forward in the deep lounging chair. and stared at the driftwood blaze in the huge fire- place. The dancing, sparkling flames reminded him of Antoinette’'s eyes, someway. “When did you first wiss it, Tony?” i | | s sl but with a long ! tied four duy | my dinmond er Wad o i | looked att ,Ted smiled, and left her, and asked Phyllis, “This morning, only this morning. | always keep it on my dresser, just sticking in the cushion, don’t you know.

They have only one servant, a Jap, and he’s so perfect you'd as soon accuse a bronze Buddha. And Phyllis declares she saw it on my neck when we got back cushfon ” “Take another look, Phyllis.

When Phyllis returned. it was dark in the great shadowy living room, and only the firelight glowed on the beach sand walls. Over on the windowseat was Antoinette, staring still at that stretch of lonely shore road, her chin propper on her hand ‘How much money do you suppose Aunt Muriel left us?” she asked. after a pause. “Why, I don’t know, Tony. Nobody knows. She was very close mouthed. Of course she had the house on Gramerey Park from Uncle Dave, and Chester got that, and most of the for- tune. She always said we were flighty and not sensibly brought up because mamma kept us abroad so much.” ‘Is money everything, Phyllis?" plaintively. It's a good dcal. honey. the wheels take the up grade very neatly Buddy's sake.” ‘| suppose that is why, but 1t isn't | everything.

And you're safely married and settled down. I've always intended to take the money and travel aud Just have a good time with it, but now., someway, It doesn't seem to amount to so much.” She looked over to where Buddy was industriously punching the Rob- ber Kitten down into a nook under the hall stairs. It was five days be fore she remembered the Kitten. Ev- ery corner In the house had been scarched for the lost pendant.
