.'Golding was? why do you say was?'
I'll tell you. AS I've come to make my
self understood at last, perhaps you'd bet
ter ask Martha to come in"
Glad that Dutton was at last ready to
speak, and yet apprehensive as to the out
come, Mr.. Warren called his wife. When
she had come in, and constrained greetings
had been exchanged, Dutton said:
II must tell you a little more about the
diamonds first. You will understand later
why l do so. Golding and l had been
knocking about the comparatively I'M
known parts of the world for years to-
gether. We had mined for gold in Austria
LA where we turned up first when the war
was over. tried our hands at a coffee plan
the diamond fields Of Africa. There in the
course of time we fell in with Sam Meeke-.
1--WE didn't take him into partnership
then. but we saw a good deal of him, and
we rather liked him. We mined it with in
different success for a while, and then luck
went back on us altogether. When we
were Just about on the point of giving up
the struggle, to return to civilization and
swing pick if necessary Sam told us
about some diamond ground he'd heard of
farther inland. He knew nothing about it
personally, but native had assured him
that there were grounds to be found that,
if properly worked, would yield immense
returns. This native was a young fellow,
who had had some education from mis-
sionaries, and had been thrown in with
whites a good deal.
WAS it Wanga?" asked Mr. Warren.
Yes. To make it short, we concluded to

He was booked for Europe by the French
line, but he must have discovered that the
detective was aware of that. for he put out
in a steamer chartered suddenly by him.

ton to go to South America
THE deposit vault people were deter
mined to capture him If they could. He
had only a slight start of them, two or
three miles, guess. when they put after
him N swift tug. There was great race
down New York harbor and out past Sandy
Hook / guess Golding had some idea that
if he once got on the high seas. that is,
more than three miles from shore, he
would be safe, but if that was mis- notion
he had mistaken his pursuers. They kept
right on after him past Sandy Hook, and
as night drew on 1t looked as If they might
overhaul him before morning. 1t was nasty
weather at and growing worse. Both
steamers were stanch and there was not
sea enough to seriously endanger them. So
it is supposed that Golding's boat must
have struck a derelict, for about sunrise
her lights went out, and the men on the
pursuing boat could just distinguish her
hull sinking out of sight.
.One man only was rescued and he had
not recovered consciousness to tell the
story of the wreck when left New York"
Then Golding was drowned said Mr.
Warren, awed by the tragic fate that had
overtaken the diamond maniac.

Dutton.

"Wanga," she whispered; Il just saw

AT Elsie's words Mr.. Warren had seized
his rifle from over the fireplace and made

climbing over the knoll at the other side Of

Mr. Warren received this news with no
display of emotion and little of interest.
Come in he said, 'of course I'm sorry,
for I'd rather you had the troublesome
things than Golding or the black man."
do you mean that you'd rather they'd

less trouble for the rest of us than If you

Not since he left me in the DENLY lock-
