Being fcoth sensible and rather prosaic people, more Inclined to think too much of responslblltles and consequences than to overlook them, they decided that a bare three hundred a year would not be sufficient for them to keep tip a comfortable establishment They also decided to save two pounds a week each In order to buy their furniture, which had to be genuinely antique. Chippendale for th dlnlngroom and Adam for the drawing-room Therefore Hupert remained In his chambers and Sybil on the stage (which she intended to give up after the wedding), and they both tried very hard to be economical. In elrht months they saved as much as 7 pounds ISs. lOUd., after which they realized the futility of their efforts. It was then that Kuperfs father died, leaving him a small house In Folkestone, the furniture It contained, a few hundred pounds in odd shares, and a most wonderful snuffbox, worth "thousands.- which had belonged to I.ouls XVI. That was all that was left of a fortune which had once been fairly large. The sale of the snuff-box would have kept tho old man la luxury to the end of his days, but he had never even considered the idea of selling it. The snuff-box had naturally become a favorite topic of conversation between Rupert and Sybil; it represent dentei their future fortune, tho realization of their most cherished holes'.

Hupert and Sybil, quite disconsolate, bowed to the Inevitable, and resumed their usual occupations. The house In Folkestone was let furnished for the winter and summer visitors, and the "beastly box." as Rupert said, remained there, all by Itself, in a secret safe carefully locked up In the most complicated manner. Once the rates and taxes paid. Rupert made a clear l."0 pounds a year by letting the house, and he woald have been willing to marry and -live on their 450 pounds, but Sybil thought it wiser to be patient and try really to save some money. She was going to have a speakingpart in the new play explained she and that meant a "rise" of at least one pound a week. She always talked about her art in the most matter-of-fact way: Indeed, she was on the stage as some people are In an office; she had chosen that profession with the sole idea of securing a husband, and since she had found Rupert her ambition was entirely satisfied. She was a born boureeolse and a married woman by vocation. A few months passed by, during which she began to take a violent dislike to her profession, while Rupert grew much more Impatient and sllerhtly bad-tempered. They quarrelled oecaionly. and every time forgot the unkind and unjust things they had said to one another In the Joys of touchings reconciliations. Still one cannot enjoy either quarreling or make It up forever, and the time came when a touch of peevishness was so distinctly noticably that they both had noticed It. Indeed, they were on the. verge of becoming unfair and of "making a mess of their lives." when an unexpected accident changed the face of things. A "series of daring burglaries' took place at Folkestone, and the last house visited by the thieves happened to be Rupert's house. The burglar or burlars. entered at night by the dlnr.ing-room . window, and. without stealing any of the cutlery or disturbing the sleep of the tenants, made straight for the secret safe, opened It In no time, took the precious snuffbox, and disappeared In the night without more ado. The following day the police were called in. telegrams exchanged and received, and all Ixmdon papers described at great length (though in a different way) the wonderful snuffbox "which had been given to Louis XVI. by Marie Antionette in the first year of their marriage;" and Rupert Wlnspeare. "who?? engagement to the beautiful Miss Palmer had Just been announced." become a public character. He had to hide his Joy and to confide to many reporters his sororw at the loss of the snuff-box. but that evening after the theatre, he met Sybil, and they had an Ideal and very expensive supper, with many champagno llbatioas to prouitlata the Fate.

"If anly they could trace neither the burglars nor the box! That would be luck. Then with the insurance money. t Oh! we could do so many things!" "I slnctVely hope they are really clever burglars! D'you know I hate the sight of a policeman now. But. of course. It will take some time before they give up hope. I wonder if there is a law about It. I think they ought to pay at once. I must find out about It." "I'll ask the stage manager." declared Sybil, moved by a sudden Inspiration. "He knows all that Is to be known about thieves, thefts, and so on. He has staged Raffles and Arsene Lupin so many times. However, let us hope the police won't discover our friend the burglar. I think a nice little motor car. Rupert, would suit us very well. I should also like a rope of pearls. It's very useful: pearls always keep their value, so If you lost your money I could always sell them at cost price or even make a little money. A friend of mine, you know, that tall girl in the second row, she once had a pearl necklace given her." And she embarked on a long story, which, although it had no point whatever, proved her earnestness, her gaiety, her hopefulness and her weakness for Jewelry. "I am so excited. I feel quite silly, she decided herself with a bewitching smile. They had not been so happy and so much in love for months. They followed anxiously every Incident of the research, hoping and despairing in turn. Rupert never opened his letters without a beating heart and the papers without a trembling hand. As for Sybil, she began to talk indiscreetly about her marriage, and. in the dressing room of the theatre, put on at the same time airs and make-up. Still all the clues proved valueless, and the "daring burglary" became after several weeks an un9olved mystery." and after two months a thing of the past, to the Joy of Rupert and Sybil, who saw their fortune and their happiness coming nearer every day. They decided they would marry in June. then, after a nice honeymoon trip, go to Folkestone and spend part of the Summer there In the little house which had brought them so much happiness. Rupert, acting on Sybil's advice, went to Folkestone for a few days in order to see if the house wanted any structural alterations or the rooms any doing up. As the house was let for the present, he stayed at a hotel, an one evening, a he was coming in. the hall porter looked at him in a strangely suspicious war, and addressed him a shade less deferentially than usual.

scornfully. Rupert, overcome by emotion, could hardly find his way to the back room which aroused the curiosity of the suspicious hall porter. "We are glad to say. Mr. "Wlnspeare." declared proudly one of the detectives, "that we have succeeded in finding the thief. He was arrested Just as he was going to pawn your property." When a few minutes afterwards the hall porter was given by Rupert the following telegram to send off at once. "AH hope lost." he inwardly congratulated himself on his shrewdness: the young man was obviously a wanted criminal or an escaped convict. Rupert eme back to town and broke the news as gently as he could to his fiancee, but. to tell the truth, she took it very badly, showing obvious signs of unfairness, both to him and to the English police, also an immense scorn for valuable works of art and sentimental associations. So that for several weeks they lived In a stormy atmosphere by no mean3 conductive to happiness. One da, after a Fcene more violent than usual. Rupert, having once more made his favorite remark as to "making a mes3 of their lives." and Sybil having sworn that she would have her revenge (whatever it meant), the young man rushed out of the room, slammed the door of his own flat, and wnt out for a refreshing stroll, leaving behind the girl and her threats. Rut after a time he felt ashamed, and decided to go back in order to make it up and give themselves another chance. He found the flat empty, and there he sat. wondering if Sybil would ever come back, and If he would be really unhappy If she did not. But she did come back, pale with rage and brandishing the snuff box In her hand. "There It Is!" cried she. "Here Is your beastly box! I told you T would have my revenge. I took it. yes. I stole It myself. I meant to throw It In the river; then I thought I would pawn it Lucky thing I tried. There's an escape If you like! It's a fake! D'you hear, a fake: it has no value, none!" "Impossible! or then the burglars must have had a copy made for the police to discover or perhaps" "Never hind your 'perhaps I have done with you. It has no value: you knew It all along, and you were trying to marry me under false pretenses. But I tell you It's all off between us. and I'll sue you for breach of promise!" ended she with a Fhrill note. Rupert remained dumfounded. conscious of having lost two treasures In one stroke. A few days afterward be began to realize that both treasures were of doubtful value. To-day he is quite all right but he has lost all interest In the stage, and even In the drama and If many young men are all treated In the same way or In any other way by pretty chorus girls, no wonder If the theatres are so empty.

But what Impressed him most was an immense panoply consisting of strange barbaric glistening weapons of all kinds hanging close together with a single open space at the bottom, which made the reporter shudder, knowing, as he did, which weapon was missing. The light was strange, too, emanating from a single lamp with a shade of green silk which imparted a ghastly complexion to the occupant of the room, a little old man. smooth shaven ard with the features of a bird of prey.
