World From the novel by Wilkie Collins Featuring Eugene O'Brien and Elaine Hammer stein 1 f you are a traveler and have wandered through that beautiful but mysterious country, India, you must know of the famous Temple of Vishnu. Vast treasures of piiceless value are entrusted to its keeping, and greatest among these, the Sacred Jewel of Vishnu, most marvelous of all Indian precious stones. By day and by night it is guarded by the ever-faithful worshipers of Vishnu. Yet nothing is safe from the cupidity of those who steal from motives other than mere gain. Thus we see the great treasure is stolen by an Englishman, one John Herncastle, who desires it only as a means toward revenge upon the woman who has rejected his love. With the priceless treasure he escapes from India and arrives at his home in England, there to weave the final strands of the web which shall enmesh her whom he has loved and lost. But it is the decree of Destiny that he shall not live to triumph, and his mysterious death is the first punishment that the great Vishnu deals to those who would outrage the sanctity of his Temple. Herncastle has realized that the theft means death to him, but with fiendish cunning has planned that, even though he die, his revenge will be carried on by others who shall be innocent of his purpose lest they fail in their parts. Thus does his will designate Miss Violet Verinder, daughter of a rich and aristocratic English family, as the recipient of the Vishnu jewel and her fiancee,Franklin Blake, a young Englishman, as his executor. When the jewel passes into the hands of Violet, she little realizes the sinister purpose of Herncastle and the evil influences which the jewel is destined to bring into her life and the lives of those she loves. Not until the jewel is finally restored ,to the Temple of Vishnu does the shadow of tragedy cease to stalk in its wake and then the mystery is cleared and Happiness comes again. And from the shadow of the great Beyond the spirit of John Herncastle, once gloating at apparent success, slinks away to curse the fates that robbed him of his revenge at the moment of victory.
