about me in the apartment that wasn't filthy German stuff
was what's in here."

Slowly he was unwrapping something rolled in tissue paper, as Jane,
eager-eyed, looked wonderingly on.

"But," he went on, "I couldn't go away from you without leaving some
token, some clue. If it happened that I never came back, I wanted you
to know--"

He stopped abruptly.

"To know what?" questioned the girl breathlessly.

"To know that I loved you, darling, better than all else save honor," he
said, taking her into his arms. "See the token I left behind for you.
It's an old, old family ring with the Seymour crest. You'll wear it,
girl of mine, won't you, wear it always."

Unhesitatingly Jane Strong thrust forth the third finger on her left
hand, and instinctively her lips turned upward toward his.

And no matter what might have happened just then in the apartment next
door, neither of them would have known anything about it.
