He had up a hobby—raising melo #0, utterly welfish, he had burl himeelf, and Natalie, too, in the center of a mammoth melon patch Unwilling to exert bimeecif in any way, he also refused the few pleasures she might have enjoyed by visiting alone among her girlhood friends. Even in her own home, her husband treated her as a child. He allowed her prerogatives due the mistress of his home A wife, she possessed none of the dignity of wifehood. Many a time had poor Natalle to blush in shame at being reprimanded bt fore the servants. So her married fe had been anything but happy Betty knew this. She had visited Natalie once in the melon patch and never repeated the experience. 80, tho she knew Mr. Tremaine had loved his beautiful young wife and that much of his unpleasant ness Was due to a secret fear of the girl's meeting and learning to love a younger and more congenial man, Mrs. Singleton wan not shockingly grieved when she heard of Tremaine’s death. And as she listened to Natalie's happy chatter now, Betty let her dreams follow Orme Vendome. She was a wine little soul, She knew that a beautiful girl as rich as Nat alle would be far happier remar. ried—only {t must be to the right mas. Orme had much to offer the made his wife, but, er fresh port and list, containing over 300 pages, ts in existence. One year later, the Garde-Meubdle was looted in the night. and the major portion of the jewels stolen, including the famous Regent diamond, and the equally famous Red Emerald, the/ fgnet of the kings of France since the First. Only two of| the thieves were captured To sare thelr lives, they revealed where their share of the plunder was hidden. Some years later, an thorities to the effect that if they would dig at the foot of a certain tree, in the Allee des Veuves in the Champs Elysees, they would find the Regent. They dug there, and found {t. The Red Emerald has never been found. So, you see, there ts an absolutely accurate list and description by which every Jewel can be identified when recov- ered. When identified, they are the property of France.” “Why is it called the ‘Red Emer ald’?" asked Natalie. “Because, when the light rays fall on ft at a certain acute angle, its green {ts mottled with red.” “How do you account for Mra. Mclvor’s viston?” Natalie asked “As the vaporings of an old lad —who, by long years of blindne: has flashes of—sight, let us say, which she has come to believe. I don't pretend to explain the vision.” “She sald, didn’t she, that the vi fon never lied?” @ “Yes, but how does she know— she is biind! Moreover, ff all her visions are as beautifully indefinite as this one, how can she ever know whether they were true or false? In the state of Virginia is a place | called Land's End!

Tremaine had told him the night before. He had no wish to use his official knowledge of the scoundrel, but if the Englishman dared to continue to annoy Natalie he would do ft. And he had a feel- ing that Blake would realize this could he but know of the diplomat's presence at Rosemont. So it was quite willingly that he seconded Singleton’s proposal that they lunch alone at the club, tn spite of the fact that it would prob- ably mean he would not see Natalie again until dinner. They would Mkely get hung up in some sort of game for the afternoon, but there was more than a chance that Blake would be in eviden: nd Orme was not averse to having him know that Rosemont harbored another guest besides Mre.

The clear off, after several at- tempts, decided in the afternoon to become a fact. “In it an § o'clock start in the morning?” Singleton asked, at dinner, “Eight o'clock may be a trifle early for Natalle,” Betty sug- gested. “On the contrary, I'm ready to tart at 7 {f you and Mr. Vendome are willing,” Natalie answered, looking at her host. “Beven o'clock be {t!” Singleton replied. “Hey, Orme?” “Make {t 6:30 sharp,” Vendome replied. “I hate to miss the sun- rise.” “We'll etart at 8:00," Betty re torted. “We can't go in the car, because we haven't one—owing to the local distike for them, and Car- ter’s dislike in particul: Hence we shall drive, with Mr. Singleton undesirable in the stance.” At 8:00 o'clock next morning, present tn- before you can get to the place where the jewels are supposed to| be hidden?
