Now while be works and works well,

what has become of the others whose
destinies are concerned with tbe gem.
Arthur, known as John Powell,
since striking oil has become possessed
of the touch of Midas. He prospers
and waxes In riches and power and Is
intoxicated with his own success. It
is not that be has lost thought and
hopes and affection for Esther, but
Esther Is far away, and be is young,
and tbe adulation that men render
and women, too— ia sweet to him.
Already in tbe oil fields of California
be to known as “the golden man.” He
dreams of empires, as Cecil Rhodes
dreamed and realised in Africa. His
money is not hoarded, his mind is upon
mines, fruit farms, vast cattle ranches,
manufacturing plants and all forms or
financial and commercial activities.
Tbe quiet lanes of Virginia, the tur
moils of his reckless youth that enllv
ened them, seem far away Since he
found tbe outlaws' plunder tn the des

thinking be does well and that this
money will aid Esther and Hagar,
while be plays with time and destiny
at high stakes in far California.
And ever the dark eyes of Vivian
Marston are on him. But she keeps
aloof and bides her time. Here at last
is a prey worth waiting tbe hour to
strike at She resolves to play the
game boldly and well.
She has need of helpful assistance.
Her thought turned to Blair. She
knows that for some strange reason,
inexplicable to both Blair and herself,
Arthur Stanley had sacrificed himself,
borne even the onus of murder, con
fessed by flight murder be knew him
self guiltless bf and Biair implicated.
But why? Th> she did not know, nor
did she care.
She only knew that Arthur would
^t, tiptray Blair and that Blair would
not betray Arthur. She knew that
while Blair secretly, yet with Intense
bitterness, hated his supposed cousin.
Arthur had eagerly sacrificed himself
for Blair. And now that Arthur, as
John Powell, was indeed a golden
man. Vivian remembered his strange
attachment for Blair and thought It
well to apprise Blair of the change in
the fortunes as well as the name of

In Fairfax Blair was surprised to
receive a brief but amiable letter from

Blair's breast a longing for Esther that

knowu the lady of old. that Vivian
Marston possesawl several husbands
and that her marriage, secret uud
hasty, to Blair in Richmond previous
to their flight with the diamond was
null and void?
Blair’s mother bad taunted him with
this and had lightly dismissed the
thoughts of Vivian and the marriage
from ber mind. It was Blair’s mother
also who constantly inspired him with
thoughts of Esther. The very day the
letter had come from Vivian to Blair

Blair Boeks ths Document
THE reckleoo, deaperate and ua
scrupulous ancestor, tbe first
Arthur Stanley, who bad found
the diamond from the sky In
the fallen meteor 300 years agonc. bad
a worthy descendant tn tbe equally
reckless, desperate and unscrupulous
Blair Stanley.
It is to be doubted if Blair Stanley
gave any thought of tbe great wrong
he might do the gentle Esther lu the
furtherance of the cold ambitious
schemes of his mother aud ills own im
pulsive lawless ones. He cared not u
whit whether If he should marry Es
ther such au alliance would be biga
mous and shameful In case his mar
riage with Vivian should prove subse
quently legal nud binding.
To get Esther nnd to get the diamond
by such menus, uot to spenk of the
Stanley earldom In England, appealed
to Blair. The thought of Vivian fight
ing for her rights as the consort of an
earl appealed to Blair’s cynical sense
of humor.
With n meekness almost puritanlca:
In Its sleek hypocrisy lie hnd answer
ed his mother to the effect that he
would do as she desired. He prepared
himself, at his mother's suggestion, to
return to Richmond mid make amends
with the disgruntled relative and so
clety lender. Mra. Burton Randolph,
for Mrs. Randolph had developed nn
unselfish fondness for Esther.
Meanwhile Esther had been received
with o(>eu arms by the gypsy people
when s-ha hail returned with Quabba
when first setting out 1u search of Ar
thur with the loyal hunchback. An
other search of Hagar's van at the
amp had been fruitless. There was

Esther announced to tbe gypsies
that, while Hagar gave evidence of
eventually recovering, it wns necessary
that she (Esther) must journey far to
seek a friend who could aid ber in
these days of trial. The generous
Romany's of the tribe pressed their lit
tle boards of money upon Esther,
whom they acknowledged their prin

pulled out be hid by the roadside by

Idea of mundane damnation.
Esther realized tbe sense and sincer
ity of Mrs. Randolph’s kindly pleading

and agreed to abide by ber advice.
Qunbba took up his lodgings In the
part of the town of Richmond be was
familiar with, preparing to start short
ly in bls search for Arthur, and Esther
returned to Mra. Randolph's.
With his rising fortunes in tbe west
Arthur kept Ms secret agent in Rich
mond. Blake, tbe detective, well sup
plied with funds, though cautioned to
silence, a caution hardly necessary
with tbe taciturn Blake, tbe man be
hind tbe scene, who seemingly was at
tbe bidding of all and yet was ever tbe
master bf his own deep methods.
A bootblack, a well grown youth of
twenty, loitered by the Randolph man
sion the day of Esther's return with
Mrs. Randolph and Blair Stanley. A
bootblack hastened to the private office
of Detective Tom Blake and breath
iessly reported the presence of Esther
and of Blair in Richmond. Blake took
half a dozen banknotes of large de
nomination from his wallet and In
closed them In a large plain envelope
with a note that read. "Sent by Ar
thur to be used as neceasary.”
Twenty minutes later tbe bootblack
furtively climbed tbe wistaria vine to
Esther's window nnd a moment later
dropped unseen down beside the Ran
dolph mansion and hurried away. A
little later Esther found on her bureau
by the window the large envelope with
tbe banknotes and the mjuterious mes
sage.
Esther kissed tbe note because It
seemed almost Uie personal proximity
of Arthur. The money, which was (1.-
000. hardly concerned her at all except
that she realized It would smooth the
path of Quabbn t<> the west In seeking
Arthur. That Arthur knew where she
wns aud hnd stroiig though secret In
fluences working in ber behalf was all
well enough jierhapo to his masculine
manner of thinking.
But in Esther the eternal feminine
manifested itself in the desire to be
near the one she loved. Nothing else
mattered.
Just then Mra. Randolph's maid, tbe
smiling Fill, entered with a vase of Es
ther’s favorite roeeo. chattering ter
happiness at seeing Esther again. Es
ther, who bad secrated the note and
the money at FUTa knock, aoked the

in tbe light of heroes for tbe dangers

It was Blair's perverse nature that
saw in tbe accident a reckless way to
trap Esther aud search for tbe Stanley
document bis mother believed that Es
ther always carried with ber.
He scribbled a note and, seeking a
messenger, Lis eyes lit upon tbe boot
black. The note was to Esther and
was .written as though by a stranger
witnessing the accident to Quabba. It
gave the address Quabba had given
after tbe accident and it requested Es
ther to come to see tbe injured man.
reading as though Quabba had asked
tbe stranger to send the word.
Tbe bootblack bore the message
promptly to hto employer. Blake, the
detective. That astute man behind the
acenes calmly assumed tbe bootblack’s
guise and delivered the note tn person.
Mra. Randolph plaintively objected
to Esther's going alone to aucli a part
of town aa tbe address of Quabba’s
lodging*. But it was broad day and
Esther laughed at her fears.
Meanwhile Blair Stanley bad pro
ceeded to the lodging bouse and, aided
by the convincing argument of a ten
dollar bill, bad no trouble in convinc
ing the landlady that be was a detec
tive expecting to trap a shoplifter.
Blair proceeded to Quabba’s room
and. finding Quabba dazed with pain,
bound and gagged him. It was an ad
venture Just to Blair’s liking. He had
slipped on a mask before surprising
and overpowering Quabba, and when
Esther’s light step was heart! at tbe
door, directed by the landlady on tbe
landing below. Blair, still masked,
opened the door nnd dragged Esther
within.
If Blair had expected an easy victim
be found be bad caught a Tartar te
ther fought like a little tigress, and
every effort Blair made to search her
for tbe Stanley document was repulsol.
Blair’s perverse nature rejoiced In
this vigorous defense of tbe alight but
wiry girl. Quablwi struggled to free
himself to assist Esther, but just then
the door o]>ened and a stalwnrt boot
black. who was noue other than Tom
Blake, the detective. Joined lu the fray.
He owed Blair something on an old
score, and right merrily be proceedisl
