i THE CITIZEN, TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1913. PAGE SIX The Ruby-Necklace "She Paid the Price" scattered about the flower decked j QRAHAME-WHITE PLANS 7 By CLARISSA MACK1E f On tho nlaht of Edith Palmer's birth day ball her husband camo homo early and sought his wib In her own rooms. His haudsomo face was aglow with love and admiration as ho took the lovely form in hla arms and kissed her eager, red Hps. "Darling, you nro more beautiful ev ery time I see you," ho murmured. "And you grow more blind," she chlded hlra playfully. "I have been waiting for you to eomo and tell me what jewels I shall wear tonight." She turned to tho dressing table and threw back tho lid of a jewel box and remov ed tho trays. Diamonds, sapphires and emeralds blazed In tho light. "Wear your rubles, Edith," said Dick Palmer, with a mysterious Binlle. "Rubles? Don't tease, Dick. Those nre tho only atones I really want and do not possess. Shall It bo diamonds?" "Rubles tonight," Insisted Dick, and from an Inner pocket of his coat ho drew forth a flat leather case and plac ed It In her hands. "Dick Palmer, you darling!" crlod Edith, and sho showered kisses npon him beforo sho opened tho bos. When she finally throw bock tho lid she was awed by 'tho boauty of tho stones her husband had eeloctod. for her birthday gift On a bod of white velvet was coiled a magnificent necklace of flawless ru bles, perfect In color and each stone the slzo of n very largo pea. Dick lifted tho necklace and clasped It around his wifo's neck; then he stood back to admlro tho rich red circle of fire against tho whiteness of her skin. "Tou dear, extravagant boy I" mur mured Edith as sho turned to the mir ror to foast her eyes on tho jewel. "I suppose you paid an onormous price for it" "I paid a pretty stiff price, but I guess it's worth it. I didn't buy it In Buffam's. It isn't a brand new neck lace; neither Is it reconstructed from an old one. If s a genulno antique said to have belonged to an Asiatic ruler." "Whore did you And it, Dick?" "In Lenqulth's on Fourth avenue. I've had It a month now, and Butfam has been cleaning It up for mo. Well, I must run away and dress." Dick kissed his wife again and left the room. Edith stood long beforo tho mirror watching tho liquid flamo of tho ruby necklaco as sho slowly turned her neck. At last sho unclasped It and replaced it within Its case. "I'll not wear It down to dinner. It will bo a surprise for all of them when tho ball begins," sho said to herself and looked nround for a placo in which to secret tho case. Hha large Jewel box would Just fit Into tho tiny steel safe sunk in the wall near tho chimney. Beforo the Inconspicuous door there was hung a heavily framed square painting, which could bo moved aside only by pressing a knob on tho other side of tho room. Now Edith selected n diamond brace leta dazzling serpent with ruby eyes nnd slipped it on her arm. Then she closed and locked tho largo Jewel box, pressed tho knob that moved asldo the squaro picture and placed tho box In tho little safe. There, was room after all for the now Jowel caso containing tho ruby necklaco, and nftor another glimpse of tho beautiful Jowel Edith tucked that In the safo, closed tho steel clad door, replacod tho picture and went down to dinner Just n3 tho gong sounded. Tho rooms were bowers of loveli ness. A soparato color schemo had been soloctod for each one, and tho wholo harmonized in ono glorious ar rangement of flowers nnd palms. Thoro wero several people staying at tho Palmers', and most of them were gathered in tho drawing room when Edith entered tho Maxflolds, husband and wife; Eugenia Card, nn old school friond of Edith's, and Dick's father, Henry Palmer. Tho fifth guest, Mme. Geulot had not yet Joined them. Just as tho last strokes of the hall clock died away thoro was a rustic of silk that hesitated outside tho door, and then Mmo. Geulot camo swiftly in, hor bright coloring enhanced by two vivid crimson polnscttlas at her breast Her rich blue-black hair was colled in a soft knot at tho back of her shapely head, and nbovo her low, thoughtful brow was placed a coronet of diamonds. Mmo. Geulot was a very beautiful woman. "A thousand pardons, cherie," she cried penitently. "That so stupid Ma rie of mmo has mado what you call a muddlo of my toilet" Sho throw out her hands with a graceful gesture of despair, and her long dark eyes darted from ono smiling faco to another. Mrs. Palmer shook her charming bead and lookod at tho vision In amber J?atin and diamonds. "Dear Mme. Geu lot" sho said swootly, "If you want to part with Mario I shall bo delighted to relievo you of your stupid treasurer' "No, nor' And they all laughod at madamo'B dismay. In splto of tho forthcoming ball the dinner was aa perfect ml it always had been since Plerro Oaron had ruled In tho" Palmer kltchon. When tho meal .was concluded Edith went upstairs to complete her toilet, leaving her gueatd As sho went up tho stairway to tho next floor two faces peered at her from a curtained alcove two dark faces with cunning eyes but so contrasting wero tholr conditions in life that had you coupled their namea tho world would hnvo laughed at you. After dismlsstag hor maid Edith lock ed the door of her room and hastened to open tho wall sufo, where her jew els wero secreted. Sho started back with n little cry of dismay, for tho box containing tho ruby necklace had dis appeared. Sho recovered herself nlmost Instant ly. "Of courso Dick had taken it out to show, his father, but how did ho know It wns there? Do guessed it, as I did not woar It at dinner," sho said as sho closed tho safo, picked up her gloves and fan and went down to the drawing room, outwardly composed. Her brain was a chaos of doubt and perplexity. Sho dreaded to ask her husband about tho necklaco. Sho was afraid to hear his answer. Dick met her nt tho door of tho drawing room. "Whcro is tho neck lace?" he asked quickly. She paled to tho lips. "Then you did not take it from the safe?" she gasped. "No, of course not. I didn't know it was there." "Then it has been stolen!" And sho related the circumstances. no frowned. "Whcro is Jeanne?". "She was in my room when I re turned to it after dinner. I dismissed her then." It happened at dinner," bo said convincingly. 'Til ring up a detec tive, no can como ns a guest Don't montlon tho matter to any ono." No," said Edith, and went to re ceive tho first nrrivals. In splto of tho loss of tho ruby neck laco tho birthday ball was a distinct success. No ono would havo surmised from tho swoot composuro of tho hostess that sho had suffevod a great loss. Many complimented hor on tho loveliness of her appearance, and oth ers added that sho noodod no Jowels to enhnnco her boauty. Dick Palmer introduced a slim, dark haired man in correct evening attire as tho dotoctlvo, Mr. Block, nnd in n fow crisp questions ho drew from Edith all tho facts surrounding tho thoft of tho ruby necklace. , "Block suggests a guest in the houso," said Dick later to his wife as they stood nlono together. "Impossiblo!" said Edith. "Tho Max- fields aro abovo suspicion. Eugenia could buy forty ruby necklaces. Your father absurd! It must have been ono of the extra servants." "Joanne?" asked her husband quietly. "Oh, Jennno is too much of n cow' ard to attempt anything big llko that. Sho might purloin a collar In fact sho has a passion for collars and hand kerchiefs, but not Jowels." "You havo not montloned our other guest Edith," said Dick quietly. Sho mado a gesutro of dismay and searched tho room with her eyes. "Mme. Geulot! Oh, Dick! I know you havo warned mo against my intl macy with her, when my acquaintance with her is so slight But her letters from Paris wero genuine, and sho is so delightful! I wonder where sho is. I havo not seen her slnco dinner." "I will search for her," said Dick quietly and wns gone. AVhen ho mado his reappoaranco the last of tho guests wero taking depar ture, and when they wero nlone he placed his arm around his wife's slen der form. "Dear," ho said, "bo prepared for nn unpleasant shock. Tho ruby nocklaco has boon traced to Mm Geulot. De tectlve Bleek found tho Jewel case on tho person of our cook, Plerro Caron who has confessed that tho robbery was one of many that ho and his wife, Celeste Geulot nono other, my dear had planned. It seems sho saw you trying on tho nocklaco after I had left you, watched yon hide it away and when you had loft tho room slipped in secured tho rubles, concealed them In her room and went down lato to dinner, "After dinner Pierre, hor husband went to her and domanded tho nock laco. Sho refused to give it to him then, and ho took tho empty case and went below, furious at her. Sho is now in her room or lias escaped with tho necklace. Will you go to her room and see if sho is there? I want to avoid tho servants knowing of the af fair if possible," Edith went to tho door of Mme. Geu lot's room nnd tapped lightly. There was no response to her summons or to louder knocking. Then Bleek set his shoulder to the door, nnd tho lock gave way. lie peered insldo and then sprang within. Tho Palmers followed, gravely apprehonslve. Mme. Geulot was there. Sho was sitting beforo a choval glass In all the regal splendor of her amber sntin ball gown. About her throat was clasped tho ruby necklace. She was dead. Bleek stepped forward and unclasp ed tho necklaco and examined it closely. "That's tho way with many of theso Asiatic baubles," bo said thoughtfully. "I happen to havo heard of this one beforo. Thero is a largo re ward out for it. Thero Is a legend that If it is honestly bought or sold or pre sented as a gift It is quite harmless. If it is stolen tho wearor pays tho prlco, as Mmo. Goulot has done, poor oul!" Ho pointed to tho throat of the dead woman, whero a heavy black mark en circled the whiteness of her neck. "It grew tighter and Anally strangled hor," ho explained asjthey went nway and closed tho door behind them. "That's an AslaUc trick, too," ho said. But Edith and hor husband wore not listening. Edith was weeping bitterly. Sho was grieving for tho friend who had pioved false and who had paid the price. BIG AIR FLEET PROJECT. Aviator Lays Scheme For Mercantile and Mall Carrying Dirigibles.
