Herbert Savin, rode up to the Roberts
carriage at a gallop and nearly flung
himself from the saddle in order to
grasp the extended hand of the girl
sitting there.
Herbert caught the words: "Nellie,
darling" in an incredulous, but most
loving tone, and a pang of jealous anger
disturbed him, albeit he called her the
next moment adventures" between
his set teeth, and then there were sud-
den cries, the mad rush of frightened
horses, and the carriage in which the
girl was composedly sitting was
whirled away at breakneck run.
Herbert spurrcd his horse at pace
that equaled that of the runaways, and
at the same moment mounted police
man dashed off in pursuit, and the team
was stopped before any harm was done,
but Herbert had the inexplicable cha.
grin of seeing Gould Lorraine clasp the
form of the frightened girl to his heart
and hearing him say:
mann uo't, ANCiiiC, you WCiC hot

Gould, dear, / was looking for you (;
that is the reason came to the park"
she answered, returning his caress.
Gloomy as a stone pillar, Herbert
stood, trying later to soothe Mrs. Dan
iels and help her adjust the baby, when
| he found his faculties.
But it was Gould Lorraine who was
the astonished person now.
"When did you come? What are you
doing in that carriage? Why did you
not come home?''
Those were the questions the young
man asked, and at each one the intona-
ton in his voice grew stronger and
more indignant.
"You know, met Alice Savin-Mrs
Roberts abroad after our schoo
days" said Nellie, in response to hel
brothers questions. II CHANGED to visit

So this was the charming, accom-
plished friend of his sister, Eleanor
Lorraine, whom he had never CHANGED
to meet. A more complete discom
future could not have been planned.
But ais well that ends well. TIL,

STATISTICS ABOUT DIAMONDS.
Industry Of Cutting the stones Ia Increas-
Ing In America.


Industry Of Cutting the stones is Increas-
Ing In America.
There are perhaps 5000 dealers in
diamonds in the the world who carry
in their stock stones worth perhaps
$3.50, 100000 The remainder are in the
hands Of private individuals.
There is always something fascinat.
ing about the subject of diamonds, and
rich and poor like to read about pre-.
cious stones. 1t is estimated that dur
ing the last twenty-five years the
American people have paid duty on at
least sls000O,OO0 worth of diamonds
and other precious stones In 1893
alone they imported SIS, 203, 500 worth,
but in sls04 there was falling off,
owing to hard times, and the total was
only $4,S56, 9S5.
This does not include uncut dia'
monds, of which we imported more
tina 81, 600, 900 in 1899, $500, 900 worth in
1898, and SIS, 666, 267 worth in 1894. Dur
ing the last twenty-five years we have
imported S7,0s7, s17 worth of uncut dia'
monds. In 1880 we imported only $780,
600 worth of uncut diamonds, and in
1850 only S25O,OOO worth. The large
increase of late has been due to the
fact that number of American jewel
ers have opened diamond-cuttine
establishments. There are now ffteer
establishments in the United States
which employ from one to twenty
men.
There are 1000 manufacturers II
Europe and about 200 in the United
States, who employ between 1000 ant
5000 persons as cutters and polishers
Perhaps $4,000 people are employed il
the diamond mines throughout the
world. We read that in past centuries
GO, 900 people were working in some sin
gle Indian mines at one time, and PEI
haps that statement was not exagger
ated, since by the aid of modern ma
chinery one miner can now accomplish
as much as twenty who used the prim
tive methods. The total value of al
the diamonds in the world undoubtedl.
exceeds $1,000, 900, 600.
During the last quarter century tel
tons of diamonds, selling for more thai
$500, 900, 600 uncut, and 5000, 1000, 900 aft
err cutting, have been added to TIL
worlds wealth-an amount more thai
twice as great as the value of dia
monds known to exist before. Thi
vast value is in the most concentrated

expressions of displeasure, given in
such tranquil rage that possibly the
recording angel blotted them out with
o tear. For Herbert had big, gen..
erous heart, and as soon as he had fin
ished reading the letter it had warmed
toward the poor little motherless baby
whom his sister had adopted and was
now sending to him by new nurse
maid.
The letter gave one reading it a con-
firmation of the idea that language was
invented to conceal thought.
"She is such dear little thing" II

but the baby-and her father was n

not choke her if she cries-the baby

How like my cratic sister," said
Herbert. "Here she sends me peri

Daniels, and she will probably give no

He rung the bell for the housekeeper

person, who looked as If she might turr

Herbert was in terror of housekeep

to take the proper attitude as head o
the house, when its actual head was alb
sent. Without any pctulance or undig

zontal furrow IN the. skull. His eyebrows
were stiff bristles, long and shaggy, and
underneath them his small and exceed
ingly sharp gray eyes burned and blazed
with shifting luster. His heavy jaw and
coarse lips were partly hidden by a ragged
growth of hair. Altogether, his aspect was
ferocious and forbidding, and student of
morbid conditions would at once have rec
ognized the terrible things that lay hidden
and suppressed in his nature, to break
forth on sufficient provocation with a ter
rible force that no human agency could re-
strain.
This uncouth, slouching, ,night-haunting
figure exercised an influence over this
young girl that no one suspected, so care
fully laid were his plans, so clear his under
standing of her character and so sly the
method of his procedure. 1t is not diff
cult to imagine that when the childhood
companion of the beautiful girl reappeared
on the scene the suspicion, cunning and
ferocity OF the bellrlnger were reused to
renewed vigor and activity.
AS for the young man, whose name was
Charles, he nursed his aching heart, mis-
taking for mutual antipathy mere lack
of undeveloped sympathy. When he had
thoroughly come to understand The strange
