There was a queer look in Lady Re-
narcismere's eyes; a strangeness in
her manner; a strange 3erkaness
about her movements. And as I sat
down opposite her I began to watch
her steadily. Yet her voice was firm
enough, and her words coherent
enough, and there was the old, famil;
iar, brusque, peremptory tone, Still...
"You're all wondering 7hat I've
been after since I left Renardsrnere,"
she said when we had gathered round
the table. "Iql tell .youl I've been
making sure of something that I was
bound to possess—something that'll
make my winning- the Derby to -mor-
row a dead sure thing. This!"
With a sudden swift movement she
drew from the folds of her gown a
package of soft white tissue paper
and placed it on the table before her.
With equally swift movements she
tore the paper away, and revealed a
slender, snake -like belt of bright
leather, in the centre of which was a
round brooch -like thing, a siert of me-
dallion of eolid-gold. And in the cen-
tre of that was set a magnificent
blood -red stone, at sight of which
Miss Hepple let out a sharp cry.
