The realisation stunned her. And yet, she wondered why she hadn't guessed the truth before — hadn't

Now, as the scales fell from her eyes and she saw him in his true

ness in his face for the first time -ehe wondered how she could ever have loved him. . . . ' He was still gripping her wrist, so tlzhtly that he was hurting her. "Let go of me!" she cried, try- lng to pull free. "Oh, no, my dear! Not until yc-u ee take me to John Stacy." “I won't! I won't! I know now why you want the diamonds. it was you who stole them—you who put them in that doll. Well, you can't go get them back!" Arturo sneered. "So the tru.h has finally sunk into that DTBl-iq, empty head oi yours? Yes, my clear, it was I who hid them in the d011, knowing that you were soft i enough on me to cherish the silly thing and bring it safely into this ooun . But for that confounded dog o your uncle's, you would never have known. I would have come here, somehow made on with the doll-and seen the last of you. My ans went awry. but you need not hink I am beaten. I've worked too hard on this Job, taken too many risks, to fall now. Woud you like to know how I succeeded in throwing the suspicion on your father in the theft of the dia- monds? Aih. that was clever!" “You're oontemptible!" Arturo laughed. "You do not wish to hear But I shall tel! you Just the same. . . ."

He was boasting now. It appar- ently pleased his vanity to tell Vir- inla how he had framed her father. e had asked Roger Dane to act as his aEent on a trip into the inter- ior of Brazil-had sent him to the native village where the Dutch pros- pector had cached the diamonds. He himself had learned of that

Dane was in the village, he had sec- retly followed him there, stolen the diamonds, and departed.

Near the cache, he had left a cigarette case which he had stolen from Dane in Rio. When the Dutchman discovered his loas some-
