I said, to go with me. to Europe.
He -was ' going to dispose of tht
diamond there. 1 knew, some very
wealthy Americans living in Paris

him:- hi - ; j.
'A we were coming back in
-the taxi, 1 Sewell said he had a
strange tear of his life. Ife told
me -something of a Russian
" agent," who knew : of the stone,
and . who would kill him if he
knew he had It"
"Ah."! fnterupted Marx. ! "So
Sewell did, hare it. Our friend,
the Major, copped a crystal. Sew
ell himself; stole the stone. Merer
mind, Mrs. Edison, go ahead." '
"Sewell j said' that no matter
where we went, we would be fol
lowed by this Russian, who would
kill him; if. he couldn't get hold
of the stone. . ' i
"So he said he'd decided on a
plan. It i was a very strange plan,
but I agred to it; because be
cause r loved him, and I trusted
' him. j ij . . I .

throw the I Russian off the track

intended: . ,
"I was to come up to the apart.

' were to '.meet. Sewell was to go
down td the ; boat, where he was
sailing under an assumed name. I
would iremain. and call up the
'police, ! and say that I'd visited
Sewell and found him dead."
The girl; paused.
"Go ahead," barked Marx.
"I'd found him dead," she re
peated, i "and I was to give the
alarm. Then, after the police got
throughj Questioning me, I was to
join hint on the boat,"
Marx shook his head.

"He'd arranged for that. I was

word- -murder. And then I came

"I was half-mad. I could nt think.
I told -you the first thing that
came into my mind. I didn't know
what to do. How could I tell you

"So so Sewell was murdered
before he could fake being mur
dered," Marx tried to sum up the
weird story. '
"Yes."
"And thent" prompted the doc
tor. u
"I tried to sail anyway, but
your detectives stopped me, and
I've Just been through hell ever
since. I : can't . understand It. j I
can't understand it."
"Did Sewell ever mention Maj
or Preston as a likely source of
danger?" demanded the doctor.
"Yes," said the girl. ''But he
was mainly scared of this Russian
agent. He did mention the Major.
He said the Major didn't like
him."
1 "He didn't tell you that the
Major was protecting him that
night." J
"Protecting him?"
i "Yes, sleeping in this apart
ment at Sewell's request."
"No."
"I don't think we need to trou

"The Berengaria."
"And under what name?"
"Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Sla

"Thank you. I don't think we
will be needing you again, Mrs.
Edison. Thank you very much."
The girl rose, and without fur
ther, word, made her.exit The
doctor took up the telephone and
got the Cunard Line; He asked
for the traffle agent.
"Could you tell me if a Mr.
and Mrs.. Leonard Slater sailed
on the Berengaria exactly two
weeks ago?"
The doctor held the 'phohe.
Marx looked at him wondering

Arriving at Cherbourg, Marx
received telegraph reports of the
progress -of- Mr. Siater. The
French police had undertaken to
keep him under survellance. He
spread the ! telegrams before the
doctor.
"He's staying at the Claridge.
Hired a suite of rooms. Spent the
first night in Montmartre, same
as many American tourists nave
under the circumstances," the
doctor commented. 'Hasn't tried

will."

Make Most of Little Fruits
. ( While They're in Seasdnv
Every evening at the little ho
tel in Naples they .brought us the,
same tray for -dessert yet it was
never monotonous. There were
two dishes op. it one a platter
with half a dozen kinds of cheese,
and then. there was a large bright
bowl mounded high with all sorts
of "small fruits.
It's a simple enough dessert,
wholesome and satisfactory, and
easy enough to provide here in the
summer months.. All the little
fruits have very distinctive fla
vors of their own and all are de
licious peaches, plums, apricots,
nectarines, figs, cherries, goose
berries. Raw or cooked, ' they're
! the best kind of desert.
I Choose peaches with special
care; they should be neither un-
Iderripe nor overripe. Most impor -
; tant they should be a good, round
snape. Flat peaches are just that!
jm flavor, too mealy and taste
less. And they're not very good
jwaen they are too small either. In
jits perfect state a peach is large,
round, creamy in color on the un-
der side, but tinged with some red.
) Nectarines are a variety of
peach. Smaller with a smooth skin
i like a plum in texture rather than
! the woolly peach.. The texture is
'like plums, too, but the flavor is
that of a peach and sometimes
jNeetarines and apricots should be

hard nor too soft
?'You merely reach in."
"That's all," said Knarf wisely;
"you merely reach in." And to
show how easy it was he reached
in.. Unfortunately the edge of the
bank gave way and he sank up to
his knees.
"'It's a very good garden' said
Ting-a-Ling. But the bank needs
a little improving."
This time, however. Master
Knarf didn't say a word.
