Bhe eras always happy when Mark woo at the racea It gave her a deeprooted sense of security to know that Mark was one of those people who are almost invariably lucky. She no longer worried when he gambled, and that part of her past when she was poverty-strick-en had gradually become an unreality. Mark had snatched her away from it after a whirlwind courtship lasting exactly five days. Tonight they would attend the society concert In Miami and she . would wear the ruby bracelet. She. little Celia Hicks, would wear a piece of jewelry worth almost two hundred thousand dollars. She would make herself so beautiful for the occasion that Mark would never forget It, never ba sorry he nad paid so much for the bracelet. A shiver of delight pulsed through her. She asked excitedly. "Will It come, Mark? . Do you t think It will be at the hotel when we get there?" A queer sense of dread suddenly mingled with her happmesa -Mark grinned tolerantly and chided, "Say star ruby bracelet when you mention your anniversary gift. Mrs. Dustin.

Tears of joy tilled tier blue eyes and spilled out to jo lo the trickle of water on ner face. Mark bent down to kiss her damp and flushed cheek. Celia dressed carefully In a new ice-blue evening gown she nad chosen especially to wear with the bracelet. A clinging, lustrous gown, its strapless bodice supported only by tier breasts, moldng itaelf daringly about her hipa. ; 1 er braids were a bright crown around her small head, her Ups as red as tne rubies themselves She arose from the dressing table and went over to the full-length mirror r to clasp the bracelet on her wnst, then moved sedately Into the llv- [' Ing room tor Mark’s approval. Mark was sitting in a deep chair. I his bead back, staring at the ceil- ‘ ing. Celia cleared her throat delicately. He looked at her. then sprang up and came to her to take both her outstretched hands "You are beautiful. The bracelet wau made just tor you." He wanted her to wear ft to dinner, but Celia flatly refused. "I'm going to be sensible about wearing it, even if you aren't." she declared. Her tone was mature. She removed the jewel lingeringly and they went Into the bedroom together to place tt in the cake. "I’m even afraid to leave it here i while we go out to dinner," she told turn in a small, dismayed voice. Mark Dustin laughed indulgently and took the tooled leather casket from her hands "We're going to put it right here In the top drawer of jrour dressing table and forget about It. Good Lord, Ceil, ymi act as though you think a gang of international Jewel thieves is lurk- ' mg in the corridors outside ju.ct waiting for a chance to snatch it." "You don’t know but what they are," she defended. “I don’t care how rich you are, we can’t afford'' to be careless with the bracelet I think we should lock It in the hotel safe while we're out to dinner." "Nonsense. Get your wrap. Doing a thing like that wpuld only draw attention to its value. We'H put It in the safe after we come home tonight it that will make . you happier." Celia had to be content with ■ that promise, though the pleasure o. having dinner at a table beside !_ the ocean with Mark was spoiled.

Celia ran swiftly to her dressing table and breathed, a long sigb of relief when she snapped the box open and saw the jewel inaide the chest, just as Mark had placed It there Mark stood in the doorway grinning at tier, but she knew he was secretly pleased that she cared so much for her anniversary gift He said. "Well put It on. It's time we started to the concert." He crossed over to her and took the bracelet from the cast and fas- ■ tened It around her arm. She looked up and smiled and [ said, ’Thanks tar putting It on for me the very first time I wear it,’ She picked up her white velvet evening wrap and put It around her shoulders. The shirred collar stood up around the back of her head, tapermg down to form lapels m front' Celia looked In the mirror, her arm extended slightly, and decided she looked i the prettiest she had ever looked in all her life. A Joyous thrill ran through her when she saw Mark’s admiring eyes reflected in the mir» ; ror. He was proud of ner. proud to walk beside her and have her recognized as Mrs. Msrk Dustin. As they passed through the mam lobby downMaira, people turned their heads to watch them. Celia walked slowly and sedately beside her husband, her right hand lightly touching his arm. the evening wrap open in front to display the bracelet on her left wrist. '• In the car.’ she relaxed with a happy little sigh, and could scarcely wait until they were beyond earshot of the doorman to say ecstatically. "Mr. Voorland was certainly right, darling. Did jrpu see the way they stared at the bracelet as though they had never seen a star ruby before?" ’They were looking at you," he told her with an Indulgent chuckle as he swung onto Collins Avenue. There was little southbound traffic, and a ound moon hung low in the sky. ahedding its silvery sheen over the ocean and the tropica! verdure lining both sides of the avenue. »’ An automobile came up behind them swiftly.

She had the car In gear, and as ho slumped beside her she gunned the motor and let the clutch out with a jerk. The rear wheels spun momentarily, th, n took hold and the roadster lurched backward onto the pavement She put it In low and spun the steering wheel.

The steering mechanism had evidently been injured, for the roadster wobbled dfunkenly as she * gained speed, but Celia kept the accelerator down and herded it down the pavement with grim concentration. Mark Dustin held a handkerchief to his cut face. HU injured hand lay on his knee. When they drove up to the hotel entrance ths doorman opened the door and Dustin snapped. "Get the police.
