J. Tedmarsh •OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'OOOOOOOOOO Blair Stanley, still infatuated with the beautiful but unscrupulous Vivi an Marston, persisted, despite his mother's views to the contrary, that he would marry no one else. Know ing, however, that such a marriage had taken place, Mrs. Stanley deci ded that it was her duty to break it off. and lost no time in consulting her attorneys as to the best and most convenient way of carrying out her scheme. Blair, she determined, must marry Esther Stanley, whom she knew to be rightfully entitled, not only to the estate of her father, the late Colonel Arthur Stanley, but above all, the Diamond from the Sky, the whereabouts of which, at that moment, were as remote as hades itself. "Blair you must marry Esther,” she pleaded, as she prepared for the reception of the guests coming to at tend the garden party to be given that afternoon in honor of her son’s re turn from a “business" trip to the coast. "I demand that you listen to me in this instance. Forget the past Esther loves you. She has told me so.” Blair always willing to please his mother- when he was to gain peisonally consented. Richmond's younger sec swarmed . to the party at which Blair was I Esther's constant companion. But Esther intuitively felt that Blair's presence and prosterations of love were prompted by some ulterior mo tive. Her only thought was of Arthur. Unsuccessful in his efforts to sell the Stanley secret to those he deemed financially interested enough to pay his price. Luke Lovell decided to hunt up Arthur. Penniless, he stole aboard a west-bound freight leaving Rich mond the afternoon of his turn down by Blair. On the stretch of track, bordering the sun-baked prairie, a brakeman, whose sympathies were as absent as his hair, ordered Lovell from the train, and when he attempt ed to bargain, a brutal kick sent him tumbling into the ashes of the i oad-bed. Seml-dderious, the gypsy stumbled along the tracks and on across the sand, falling unconscious amid a growth of prairie grass. How long he lay there Lovell did not kuow. It seemed days, but in reality was only a few hours. As he woke, he found himself staring at coiled snake, preparing to strike. Beside It was a shining something The Diamond from the Sky. Greedily, he reached and wound his lingers about it. Ina flash the reptile struck. Lovell groaned and sank in a heap. Ar thur, returning to the ranch found him there that night. His crude I western treatment successfully held | off the spread of the poison from the j bite. For hours. Arthur remained | at the stricken man’s side, minister ing to his wants, and when about to depart Lovell having fully recov ered Arthur placed in his hand a roll of bills, securing from Ixtvell his promise that he would keep his whereabouts to himself. An Indian and his squaw, the lat ter with her pappoose, slowly mak ing their way across the prairie, stop ped to pitch their camp for the night near the skeleton of the horse. And there It was she found a golden chain at one end of which gleamed a great white stone. Its value meant noth ing to these children of the plaius, ex cepting that it afforded the laughing papoose a new plaything. Arthur, rich from many success ful business deals, realized that the oil wells of California represented an excellent investment, and decided to desert the ranch. The morning of his departure, found the herders gathered about his cabin, Imploring him to continue In his work. It was a painful parting for Arthur who had grown to look upon these rough herdsmen with ever increasing ad miration and with whom he had spent the many weary months of his exile in the far west. In the town, Arthur stopped to replace the herd er's outfit with a suit of the latest model of store clothes, the first he had donned In months, and then, after a hurried leave-taking, rush ed to the depot in time to catch the night train. On his way across the continent, Arthur penned a guarded letter to Esther, addressing it to Mrs. Stanley's colored maid. It had been a sultry day and Es ther, her head afire, sought the soli tude of her room. There it was the maid found her and delivered Ar thur’s letter. Esther read and re read it, before secreting it in her bosom. insulted and pestered by the unwelcome attention of Blair and the spying of his mother, she determined to seek out Arthur and tell him all. That night, by means of a pre-arranged signal, Quabba, ever faithful servant, waited as she clambered down the vines, stretch ing from her window. Supported by the loyal servant, she hurried across the lawn and step ped into a waiting cab and, with Quabba, hurried to the station, the first move in search of the one she loved. x Our Jitney Offer—This anti Sc DON'T MISS THIS.
