her father, whatever his faults,
would never have placed her; in
such a jeopardy for his own selfish
ends. She might have known,* but
she had n’t1 because she had been,
blnded by her love for Arturo.
Now, as the scales fell from her
eyes and she saw him in his true
light—saw the hardness and ugli-
ness in his face for the first time
—she^wondered how she could ever

He was skill gripping*.... L .L.
BO tightly that he was hurting her.
“Let me go!” she cried, trying
to pull free. <
“Oh, no, my dear! Not until you
agree to 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 get them back!”
Arturo sneered. “So the truth
has finally sunk into that pretty
empty head of yours? Yes, my
dear, it waa I who hid them in the
doll, knowing that you were soft
enough on me to cherish the silly
thing and bring it safely into this
country. But for that confounded
bog of you uncle's, you would
never have known. I would have

too hard on this job, taken too
many risks, to fail now. Would you
like to know how I succeeded in
throwing the suspicion on your
father in the theft of the dia-
monds? Ah. that waa clever!”
“You’re contemptible!”
Arturo laughed. "You do not
wish to hear? But I shall tell you
just the same. . . .”
He waa boasting now. It appar-
ently pleased hie vanity to tell Vir-
ginia how he had framed her
father. He had asked Roger Dane
to act as his agent on a trip into
the interior of Brand had sent
him to the native village where the
Dutch prospector had cached the
diamond* He himself had learned
of that cache by various means.
Then, while Dane was in the vil-
lage. he had secretly followed him
there, stolen the diamonds, and
reason for returning the diamonds

them in my own way.”
-Virginia stared at the pistol in
horrified fascination. She had a
terrifying mental picture of Ar-
turo threatening John with the
gun—of John defying him despite
the weapon. John might be shot
. . . killed ...
“Very well,” she said unsteadily.
“LT'U go with ydu.”
When they reached John's
apartment, he was plainly sur-

written on his face-- and she knew
that sohiehow his suspicion must
be allayed., He must not suspect
the truth and try to hold onto the
diamonds. His life might-depend
on what he said or did. It was up
to her to teil him a story that ,

purchaser was Dane. That fact,
combined with Dane’s presence in
the village at the time of the theft,
must have convinced* the police of
his guilt. Hence, they had notified
the United - States authorities and
put them on his trail.
“Now you know everything, my
dear," Arturo finished. “And now

would make, him give up the dia-
monds without protest.
"John,” she said, "have you
thope diamonds here?"
“Yea" He nodded toward a desk
in a corner of the room. "Over
there in the desk.”
"Well, I—I've changed my mind
about having you and the Mitchell
Motors lawyer take care of things.
I’m afraid the lawyer might say
something to Unci* Steve and, if
Uncle Steve should find out about
the trouble Dad has caused, he'd
be so furious that there's no tell-
ing what he might do. He’d make
things hs bad as possible for Dad.
I think it would be better to let
Arturo take the daimonds, as I
planned originally. He says he can
straighten everything out.” '
John frowned. “I think that to
a mistake. Virginia,” be paused
looked searchingly from her to
Arturo. “In fact. I refuse to give
them back to you. -Now that I have
them.'f’m going to keep them.”
“No, John no!" ,
Instantly, Virginia knew .that
the panic in her. voice had given
everything away.
Then, Arturo stepped forward,
shoving her aside The gun had
appeared in his hand.
“Enough of this play-acting!"
he said harshly. “Stacy, I'm tak-
ing those diamond^! '
"Oh, no you're not!"
As John lunged toward Arturo,
Virginia screamed. She saw John
strike out with his fist, heard the ■
sharp report of the gun. John ,

stammered^
“Because I say 30! That’s why.”
Thdn, like a flash of- lightning,
the truth burst upon Virginia. It
had been Arturo, not her father,
who had planted the diamonds in
the doll! He not Roger Dane, was
the thief and smuggler! He had
sfrnpty made love to her in Rio for
the sole purpose of using her to
smuggle the diamonds into the.
United States.
The realization stunned her. And
