lack of getting them for we knew lint other firms were buyers as well as we it was arranged that i should tike them to birmingham the next morning before leaving the omce that evening i put the rabies ioto a new chamois leather bag i bad that day bought there was come joking about my extravagance and in reply i told them that the bag with its redtape ronuing string and allliad coat only niue- pence

overy thing vert in my small sitting- room he would drink nothing not even es bat would smoke a cigar and admire rav dia grams ho admired the diagrams a thou sand timet too much and i vowed i woald not again allow myself the light of his com pany cvou for an hoar of an evening wht struck him chiefly about the draw ings was their extraordinary neatness its cosy enough io bo neat with good iostrumcnls aud a good three h pencil said i pointing to a boxof mathematical instrnmcnti and a pencil lyiog at his elbow on the table the only other things on the table were the diagram a cigar case a match stand au ash pan and half a dozen sheets of common note paper jaat as they had come out of the packet have yon ever done any designing for jewels y he asked i hod dabbled a little some time before and nulling down a portfolio i showed him a few roach and finished drawings he began lalhing aboot beuvento cel lini aud myself until i got almost sick of his smooth hollow flattery at lut be suddenly stopped at the design i liked most myself it was now a quarter to eight thats a masterpiece he cxolaimed whatever tho rest may be that is fine has it ever beea carried out xo it was a design for a brooch foar rib- bout of pearl with a clatter of diamonds at the outer ends of the ribbon and a urge ruby for the centre have you got those rubies in your pocket still he asked looking eagerly ap at roe there is one tine stone with an uncertain dame it is jatt the thing for thtf take this design with yoa to birm ingham and let them carry it oat with that ruby for the centre let mc bcc that stouc again i thought that this wn the first piece of genaine enthusiasm i hadseen in edward penning altlioagh i knew ho design fell far short of his extravagant estimate i there wa no denying it was pretty 1 1 hcded hi in the big of rubica he opened it and ponied the stones out intohii hayid telccted the one he hid spoken of placed il ou the psper in the ceulre of the design poured the other stoues back into the bag and ptfiscd the hand conlaing the bag under the porlfoio then he raisid ap the port- folio sot it on the uble and stepped back with his head oa 01c side lookiog at the design i stooped a moment over the table and made up my mind to see about adopting lui sacetion when i straight ened myself lie handed roe back the open big and as he did so asked me could i let him see a railway guide book as a friend of his was leaving kaiton by the irish mail thateveuicg and he wanted lo see this friend at the elation i i dropped the stone into ihe bag tied ap the ba sqaeczed it from mere habit to feel that oil v6 right and having placed it in my iciife pocket said sit dovn a moment the guide ia in the other room in a micute i was back and he was ex amine l guide book in what seemed lo me a very unskillful way book for kingstown i said aad not for dafclui thank ou i have it lam so stupid i eight twentyfive if i take a hansom i shall he in lime can you oblige rae with an

said with a smile i if the envelope is too quickly blotted the sorter often has a hard lime cf il he stood up and look mj hand thank jou my jcir jkijd fellow five miutues paet eijjht ill 2 no todaublo liic fellows fare and in less than a miuale he was gone ify place was in ciarterhoufe square i took up the portfolio and spent half an hoar looking over it and examining the other designs yea there could be no dcabt penning had selected lhe ouly one with any real merit or originality i ihoaghl i would try the effect of the ruby with the uncertain flame i drew oat the bag and undid the string 1 stood up near the light that i might the more read ily select the stone i emptied the bag into my left hsnd and looked for the stone i could have found it among the others by the weakest liht of the moon i separated it from the others and pat it down on the table rubbed my eyes and again lookej at those stoues in tuy hand then taking np the bag i examined it closely in the one i had bought for dine pence there hid been a knot of thread at one of the corners ia the one he had bought for nigepence there was no knot aad i now held in my right the one he had bought in my left a handful ot stones such as yoa could pick out of any gravel j pit in kent i at once saw how he had done thetrick he bad while i was bent over the table dropped the ba of rabies into his pocket and produced the counterfeit bag fall of houeht eagluh pebbles t eank into my chair half stanoed by the loss of tho rabies half carried away by admiration of the ingeuuity of the robbery his haste to get away was caased by his fear that any thing might induce me to take another peep among those stoqes i looked ut my watch eight thirtyne there was no use in trying to overtake him and going oatlijjo the street and call- ing police would be jait as useless i leaned my head on my hand for a few moments and trio j to collect my thoughts might he himself think of going to ireland not he of coarse what he had said about goiug tseuston was a lie lo throw me off the tcent while i was getting deeper fbicethbee cents or in some too lata i cried mr 8 tack and in a tone of irritation look at this be said handing
