It was exactly four weeks after
Robert Hanford became engaged to
Lucllo Ames that he came to take
her to the tennis match at West
Waters.
As he held her slim fingers in his,
he was startled by a change in her
appearance. Lucile, the gay and light-
hearted, wore a worried look.
“What is the matter, dearest?" he
asked in alarm.
“Nothing,” she evaded, drawing
away her hands.
He touched her third finger play-
fully. ‘Where Is the guardian ring?"
he demanded.
Lucile paled. "I cannot find it,” she
said, after a moment’s hesitation. “I
am sure it is around the place some-
where; I will look again.” Tears filled
her eyes.
As the car carried them over to
West Waters, Lucile and Robert
scarcely exchanged a word. By the
time they reached the clubhouse Rob-
ert was in a Jealous rage. He re-
membered that George Letterby had
been the most formidable rival for
Luclle’s heart and he wondered if
Lucile had changed her mind.
Robert went to play in the singles,
and one of bis opponents was George
Letterby. It was while Letterby was
serving a ball to Robert that the lat-
ter noticed Lucile’s sapphire ring on
his opponent's little finger.
“Some ring!” smiled Letterby across
the net. s
Robert nodded grimly.
“Thirty — love!” called Letterby
mockingly.
Hot anger filled Robert’s heart The
battle between the two men was a
real one, and although Robert carried
off the tennis honors, his storming
heart admitted that Letterby was the
victor in another contest. If not, what
excuse was there for Letterby wear-
ing the betrothal ring given by him
to Lucile?
When the match was over, Robert
found that Lucile had pleaded ahead-
ache and gone home with a friend.
He did not wait for congratulations
on his victory; he sped home in hiB
motor car, wrote a bitter letter of re-
nunciation to Lucile, and the next
morning was on his way to Califor-
nia.
On the Pacific coast there was a
tiny hamlet which is a paradise for
fishermen. There Robert Hanford in-
trenched himself and determined to
write a book upon the fighting habits
of the big gamy fish of the Pacific
waters.
One day, just as he had determined
to return to New York and his neg-
lected business interests, Robert met
a newly arrived sportsman on the
beach. He would have passed the
man without recognition had not the
newcomer paused and spoken.
“I don’t believe you remember me,
Mr. Hanford," hazarded the Btranger,
and tendered a card.
Rodeburg & Rodeburg,
20 Maiden Lane, 7$
Manufacturing Jewelers,
it read.
"I remember—you did some work
for me—a ring," he said at last.
Mr. Rodeburg beamed. “A special
ring—a very fine sapphire set in dull
gold—you said the stone belonged to
your mother.”
“You have a good memory,” smiled
Robert.
“I remember it especially well be-
cause your friend came in and asked
us to copy the ring—said you had >ent
it to him for a day. 1 remember we
had to work all night over it, as he
wanted to return the ring, but we fin-
ished it.”
“My friend brought the ring?” re-
peated Robert amazedly.
“Mr. Letterby was his name.”
“What date was it?” demanded Rob-
ert
Mr. Rodeburg named the date—the
day before the West Waters tennis
match. “He only allowed us to keep
is 24 hours,” he added. “It's a funny
coincidence, Mr. Hanford, that I Just
saw a duplicate of that ring—the
young lady under that striped um-
brella is wearing one on her engage-
ment finger.”
He jumped with surprise as Rob-
ert wrung his hand and dashed off
to the striped umbrella, under which
Lucile reclined on a steamer chair,
her sad eyes looking dreamily out
upon the sea.
At his approach Lucile lifted her
eyes and a wave of hot color suffused
her thin cheeks.
“Robert!” she murmured breath-
lessly.
Regardless of onlookers he dropped
to one knee beside her chair and laid
his head on the arm.
“Forgive me, Lucile,” he whispered.
“I have Just learned about the ring
—I have wronged you.”
"The ring?” she uttered a glad lit-
tle laugh and flashed the jewel be-
fore his bewildered eyes. “It all hap-
pened so queerly—I was frightened,
too, and feared you would blame me.
The day before the tennis match
George Letterby called and asked to
see my ring. As he examined it he
dropped it in the grass and wo could
not find it. He came again the next
afternoon—after the match was over
—and he found the ring among the
leaves; but it didn’t matter, then, you
had gone away. I have always worn
it—” She hesitated and looked down
at his pleading eyes, his face lined
with suffering. ”1 have always worn
it,” she finished heroically.
