She had never known anything of nmucy in her life. Rosollliely she bit her lips and forced her way through the. doors of a jewel- ry establishment. fighting her resolu- tion to the point of approaching the bespectacled. important looking man behind the counter. “I wish to sell." she murmured bash- fully. . The salesman stared from her to the necklace, his eyes growing. wider and sbubllllloss. wider with bewilderment as he looked ,. upon such stones :15 he had never seen before in his life. “The proprietor"~â€" he whispered. Lucille followed the direction of his pointed finger, on the verge of burst- ing into laughter af the change in his demeanor. With added confidence she pushed open the ground glass door, uponwhich was marked a caution for all outsiders to keep out. A keen eyed little man turned upon her abruptly, his lips half open for a protest against the intrusion, when hi! eyes fell upon the necklace she carried loosely in her hands. “I wished some ready money,” Ln- cille quickly explained, blushing at her own temerity as she placed the pro» cious necklace upon the desk. The man drew a jeweler’s glass from his drawer and stooped to examine each stone, his lips parsing to vent a little whistle of awe and admiration every few moments. “Where did you get this necklace.
