Nor did .-he see the -:r..ni:e In -:! of varied Ufa In the street as she waiked slowly under the ureat Moorish arch of the i'ort" de Ft a: 09. She was de ;.- ly thoughtful. Since she had worn the ugly ring oi Baftl .-he had Buffered no pain from her, eyeg, and strange certainty had gradually come upon her that whik the amerald was in her possession sht would lie safe from tne terrible diseas of which she had so long lived in terror. Yet Safti would not let her have the rlagj, And she could not live forever in Tunis. Already she had prolonged her stay abroad and was due io Russia, where her anxious husband awaited her. She knew not. what to do. Suddenly an idea occurred to her. It made her flush red and tingle with shame. She glanced up and saw the lustrous eyes of Abdul fixed intently upon her. As he left her at the door of the hotel he said "The princess will s'ay long in Tunis?" ' Another week at least. Abdul " sh? answered carelessly. "You can go home now. I shail not want you any mora to-day." And she walked Into the hotel without loo klag at him again When she was in her room the Bead for a list ol the steamers BgUlgg daily from Tunif for the different ports of Africa and Europe, Presently she came to th bedside of amc. de Kosnikoff. "Counters," she said. "You are nt I et Ter' ' How ( an I ! ? The drains ore bad and the tea here is too strong." There i- a boat that leaves lot Slcfly at midnight fot Marsala. Shall we go on it?" The older woman bounded on hat I illow "Straight on by Paly to Russia?' she cried joyfully. The princess nodded. A fierce exi itemeni shone ,n her pretty eyes, and her little hands were trembling as shf ; ok. d down at the dull emerald ol

At 11 O'clock thai nicht the princess and the ounces got into a carriage, drove to the . .! of the bttgO salt lake by whi'h Tunis lies, and went on i aaffd the S .1 a n haiia. The sky was starl-'s.v The winds w. re still, and it was dark. As the ship glided out from the shore the obi counters hurried below. Hut the priaceaa remained on deck, leaning upon the bulwark, and irann at the fading lights of the city where Safti dwt It. Two flames seemed burning in her heart, a fierce flame of joy. a Bares flame of contempt of contempt for herself. For was she not a cremation thief? She looked at Safti's ring n bar finder and Bushed scarlet in the darkness. Yet she was joyfui. triumphant, as she heard the beating of the ship's heart, and saw the lights of Tunis growing fainter In the distance and felt the onward movement of the Stella d'ltalia through the nttjht. Bhe feH herself neat'T to Russia With each throb of the machinery. ' An 1 l torn Russia she wot 1 e;.:at" her sin. From Russia she would omp-nsat Safti for his loss. The lights of Tunis -r. w fainter. She though! t ths op. n sea. Hut suddenly she felt that the ship was slowing down. The enpim s beat more feebly, then ceased to beat. The ship glided on for a moment In silence and Stopped. A cold fear ran over the princess. She called to a asilor. Why." she said, "why do we atop? Is anything wrong?" He pointed to sonv lichts on the port side We are off Hammam-I.lf. madam," he said. "We are going to lie to foi h ilf an hour to take in cargo." To the princess that half hout seemed all eternity. She remained upon de!, and whenever she heard th. snlash of oars as a loat drew near or t! -t - .,d of an Arab voice she tr.nibled. and. staring Info the a. kness. fancied that she saw the tall Bgure, the pointed hend. and the delormed eyes of the jewel doctor. Hut the minutes pass d. The carpo was all n board The boats drew off. And once again tin ship shuddered a the heart of it b. cau to beat, and the ebon water ran backward from its prow. Thm the princess was glad. Sh.1 laid the hand on which shone Sattl's no : all upon the bulwark and paed towards the sea. turning her back upon the lithts of Hammam-I.lf. She thoueht of safety, of Russia. She did not hear a soft Map drawing near tipon the dach I hind her. She did not SIS the flash of steel descending to the bulwark on which her hand was laid. Hut suddenly the horrible cry of a woman in agony rggff through the i ht It was instantly aUCOStdsd by a splash In the water as a tall figure dived over the vessels side. Win n the sun rose on the following Bay over the minarets of Tunis the Stella d'ltalia. with the princess on twiard. was far on its way towards th' Si- Ilian port.
