A few days before I toll ed tbe head of the firm called ma into Ms private office and told me that a client o tbe house desired that I carry for bim to Boston a valuable sapphire.

The lady, who was subject to seasickness and wished some one to wait on her, con sented. Mrs. Gillette was ill in rough weather, but well on a smooth sea. Susan took very good care of her. Since I had told no one that I car ried a valuable gem and no one ex cept myself and the man through whom it came to me knew where it was I felt very little fear of losing It. I simply wore the coat in which it was sewed by day and used it for a pillow by night, so that it was always either cn my back or tinder my head. But one thing occurred during the voyage to cause me to suspect the possibility of ony one being on my track. One day when about to enter my state room I noticed something white not as big as a pea on the floor directly un der tho lock. I have no idea what in duced me to pick it up, but I did so and, crushing It between my thumb and forefinger, found it to be wax. Could any one have been tnking an impression of the lock on my state room door? I dismissed Hie sugges tion nt once as farfetched.
