Robin Sears, I worried now that | g on his father, has learned that purchased a third ness which had brought him down And a few moments' consideration proved it to be Madeline Barron and her friend, Miss Fair. This surprised Stone, until he realized that they were the only women present, and naturally the feminine natuise revolts from thought of grue- Yet it was impossible to keep away from the subject entirely. On the entrance of Miss Anastasia and her nephew, they were, of course, pointed out to Stone as the relatives of Garrett Folsom. When Roger Neville and two women ipeared, they, too, were remarked as being of the party to which Folsom had belonged. What 9o you mean, a party?" Stone asked. 'The ladies are not here "Yes, but Miss Folsom always demands. It's one of her little ways. What shall I tell her?" "Tell her," Fleming Stone said, "that I will grant her demand, but in my own good time. Tell her that I propose to have a ride in those chair things and that when I return I will keep any appointment she may make. We must tee her, Sears, and her n'sphew, too, as soon as may be." Stor.-a's manner changed suddenly from gay banter to a serious tons, and then he invited the whole party to go on a chair ride, stipulating that he j was to have Mrs. Barron as his companion. He caught a faint flash of unwill-ignness in her eyes, but she accepted his invitation gracefully and they started off. The night was pleasantly cool, and the gay boardwalk, with its color and lights, seemed to be the edge of the world against the black abyss of sea beyond. After a few casual remarks, Stone said, quietly: "You know why I am here, Mrs. Barron. You know I must ask questions of any one from whom I think "But you can't get any from me!" Madeline spoke almost hysterically. "Oh, Mr. Stone, don't talk to me about it!" "That's why I brought you out here, so I could talk to you alone. For I'm sure it will be easier for you, to tell anything you have to tell without other "But I haven't anything to tell." "Then why are you so troubled about it all? Why are you so nervously sensitive to a tragedy that is dreadful, to be sure, but is of no personal grief to you?" "Oh, no, no! -I had no personal in-I didn't know him But i ' I hai itb I viiU- "Th-ey s :• Fler Barren told hil by themselves, the old one as a soft of duenna for the beautiful Carmelita. But Folsom and Neville were here together and they rather attached themselves, so that the quartet was a congenial one. Then after the tragedy Neville still remained attached, at least to the extent of sharing their table in the dining room, and acting ster and his nephew--" "That isn't it. Pardon me, Mrs. Barron, but truly it will be better for you to tell just why you are so deeply concerned in the affi ' Madeline Barron turned slightly until she faced her companion. Her eyes looked big and dark, for her face was white and her cheeks paled beneath her light touch of rouge. For a moment she hesitated, then said: "I will tell you. I am worried, because I fear there is suspicion being cast on Mr. Sears. His son, you know, is engaged to Miss Fair, who is my dearest friend. Should any trouble come to Croydon Sears it will, of course, reflect on Rabin." "You mean," Stone said, gravely, "that you fear Croydon Sears is the murderer of Garrett Folsom " "Oh, don't put it like that!" and Madeline gasped. "But I--yes, I am afraid he will be suspected of that." "I see," Stone said, speaking slowly. I "And I understand. Now, Mi^Ba.r- anything, anything at all, that" you I can tell me that has any bearing on-the question of his guilt or inno- "He is suspected?" Madeline spoke in a whisper, but her lips quivered and she showed a face of utter distress. "Perhaps susupected is too strong a word at present, but the police are narrowing things down, and they have what they consider pretty direct evidence against him." "And the motive?" "It has come to their ears somehow that Mr. Folsom had a hold of some sort over Croydon Sears, and that he was about to use it." "What nonsense! As if a man like Croydon Sears could be afraid of any- ' WAS f'l.EASANTi.Y ('0(1...

Fleming Stone, his dark eyes alight L with enjoyment for the whole scene, I missed no point or detail of the con-U versation, and realized that, though \ v the matter of Garrett Folsom's death | was not entirely taboo, yet it was not I e openly discussed. This might have been merely be- j cause it was not a fit subject for table i talk, but to Stone that did not seem! the truth. He sensed a deeper reason,! a subtler cause for the avoidance of j the matter, or for a quick, decided change of subject if it chanced to be touched upon. This impressed him, and he set to! work to find out who were the ones! most disinclined to refer to the busi-i m.

N. Higin-botham Hall of the Field Museum of Natural History at Chicago. The stone, which is of the aquamarine variety of beryl, was brought from Madagascar by Dr. Ralph Linton, assistance curator of Oceanic and ! Malayan Ethnology, who returned to j Chicago after more than two years I in that country as leader of the Captain Marshall Field Madagascar Ex-j To Beryl were attributed many magical powers by people in the Middle Ages, according to Dr. liver C. Farrington, Curator of Geology. It was believed to give its wearer in-singht, second sight and foresight, to inducesleep and compose the heart and mind. It was called the "sweet-tempered stone." It was especially used in the seventeenth century for divination, by suspending and swinging a beryl ring in a bowl filled with water. The edges of the bowl were marked with letters, and questions were answered by the. beryl's stop- "A n f be f him." "Yes, that is true. You mean Robin, of course. Well, Mr. Stone, I wish I could help you. If I knew anything I would most certainly tell you. But I can only assert my faith in Croydon Sears and his innocence, by reason of my resect and admiration for the man and my knowledge of his general finer-ass of character and. integrity." "And your knowledge of Gorrett Folsom?" "Is only what I have heard of him since his death. And that runs the entire gamut, from the exalted opin- j ions of his sister to the far less eulo- I gistic expressions of his nephew." "Young Pclton had small love for his uncle?" "It would seem so. Though I know j tie of these things save as I 1 heard them discussed by others. Why do you select me for your questioning, Mr. Stone?"
