"Can fq aflord the expense ?" inquired his

and doubted the fairness of her estimate touch-

for sincerity and, truth weighed on the other
side, and certain considerations which she had

uttered s,desire to, become its possessor. They
e,itered• the store, and soon the brilliant thing
,was glittering on her wrist. Fifty ,dollars was
