THE GREATEST MYSTERY STORY EVER WRITTEN
There it lay, its incredible, ineffable
glowing blue fascinating us as we
gazed upon . it..
"It is a wonderful thing," said Iso-
bel, and I wondered, how often those
very words had been said of it
"Oh, let me kissit," cried Claudia,,
and with one hand the Chaplain raised
the glass dome, and with the other
handed the sapphire to Aunt Patricia
who; examined it as though she had
not.liandled,it a thousand times, She
looked through it at the light. She
then passed it to Claudia, who fondled
it awhile.
We all took it in turn, Augustus
throwing it up and catching it ,as he
murmured, "Thirty thousand pounds
for a bit of glass!" ,
When Michaeh'Vgot it, I thought he
was never going to pass it on. He
weighed and rubbed and examined
it, more in the manner of a dealer
than an admirer of the .beautiful.
Finally, the Chaplain put it back
on its cushion and replaced the glass
Cover.
We sat and stood around for a few
minutes, while the Chaplain said some-
thing about Indian Rajahs and their
marvellous hereditary and .historical
jewels.'
I was standing close to the table,
bending over and peering into the
depths of the sapphire again; Augus-
tus was reiterating, who says a game.

as occasionally happened, the electric•
light faded, and we were plunged in-
to complete darkness.
"What's ,Ferguson up to now?" said
Digby, alluding to the head chauffeur,
who was responsible for the engine.
"It'll come on again in a minute,"
said Aunt Patricia, and added, "Bur-
don will bring candles it it doesn't.

THE STORY OF

MR;

The story of: Mr. Joseph Martin

t modern miracle. His was an un
,usually bad case of';indigestion. In
his own words he writes. "For
about ten years I could not digest'
my food. For is year I could not
work, I had. no strength and I
could: hardly' eat, I was like dead."
Now 'I work and eat as much as I
like and feel like a new man.

me completely; •and. I would have
died,, without your remedy. I am.
thankful to; you,' as you have saved

So there ,I , stood and waited.
While doing so, if occurred to me
to wonder what would happen if the
joker did not have the °good sense to
take advantage of the opportunity pro-
vided by Isobel.
Perfect silence reigned in the big
room.

The 'Blue Water' had vanished. The
white velvet cushion was bare, and the
glass cover covered notking but the
cushion.
We must have looked a foolish band
as we stood and stared, for a second
or two, at that extraordinary empty-
looking abode of the great sapphire.
I never saw anything look so empty
in my life . Aunt Patricia broke the
silence and the spell.
"Your joke, Augustus?" she enquir-
ed, in that rarely -used tone of hers
that would have made an elephant
feel small.
"Eh? Me? No Aunt! Really! I swear
I never touched it," declared the youth
colouring warmly. '
"Well—there's someone with a sense
of humour all his own," she observed,
and I was glad that I was not the mis-
guided humorist. Also I was glad
that she had regarded the joke as
more ,Augustan than. otherwise.
"You were standing by the table,
John," she continued, turning to rue.
"Are you the jester?"
"No,' Aunt," I replied with feeble
wit, "only the Geste.
' As Digby and Michael both flatly
denied any part in this poor practical
joke, Aunt Patricia turned to the
girls.
"Surely not" she said, raisingher
fine eyebrows.
"No, Aunt, I was too busy with
ghosts and goblins and the skeleton
hand, to use my own hand for stick-
ing and peeling—I mean pickingand
stealing," said Isobel..
"1 haven't got it," said Claudia.
Lady Brandon and the Reverend
Maurice Ffolliot eyed the six of us
with cold severity.
"Let us say nothing of the good
taste displayed, either in the act or in
the denial," said the former, `but agree
that the brilliant joke has ,been carried
far enough, shall we?"
"Put the brilliant joker back, John,"
said Augustus. "You were the only
one near it when theilight went out."
"I have saidthat 1 didn't touch the
sapphire," I replied,
"Suppose you put it back, Ghastly,"
said Digby, and his voice had an edge
on it:
"And suppose you dol" blustered
Augustus angrily,
Digby, who was standing behind
him, suddenly raised his right knee
with sufficient force to propel the
speaker in the direction of the fable,
