Three members of the Russian. Board of Trade: come to Paris to sell the court jewels of the exiled former Grand Duchess Swans. Wanting for once, to lasie magnificence, they engage the Royal Suite in the Hotel Clarence, and telephone the jeweller, Mercier.. A waiter at the hotel, the former Count Alexis Rakonin, overhears the telephone con- varsation and hastens to the Duchess Swana with the news that her jewels are in Paris to 'be sold. Count León d'Algout, her lover,

overhears the mention of jewels.

"RAKONIN, bless him, has given me the most amazing newa! I must call my lawyer at once."

"I am sorry, but I have to leave," said Rakonin..

"Thank you so much, my friend, I will get in touch with you."

Duchess Swana put in her call while the maid was showing Rakonin out. Count d'Algout, highly interested, listened to Swana's conversation with her lawyer.
