CHAPTER n.
AN OLD FRIEND.

WAS not the man to neglect Sully's
warning, and, besides, there was an
added reason for being careful Of dark
corners. as both Zamet and Lain knew
me, and were unlikely to lose any OPP
portunity OF doing me harm that might
come their way. Icould do nothing but
wait and exercise patience until the
month was over. and IL was n hard
enough task. Beyond my daily visits to
NY ordinary, went nowhere and saw

ny landlt I'd and his wife: but few words
passed between us, and Jacques had be-
come marrelously taciturn, so that I
was alone as IL were in desert in that
vast city. wher. the roar of the days
traffic and the hum of voices seemed to
vibrate through and possess the stillest
hours Of the night. Doubtless there
were men of my acquaintance in Paris;
but did not SET k them. for the reasons
already stated. snd lived as secluded a
life as though had taken the vows Of
hermit.
In the meantime I was more than
anxious that Jacques should execute my
plan in regard to Marie. That I felt
was a debt OF honor 10 myself; but
though 7 tried the threat OF dismissal
he refused TO 60 point blank. and I was
weak enough TO allow him his way. II
was one of the many instances in
which my firmness Of temper failed,
but II is not possible for a man always
TO keep his heart in Milan corselet. I
could not make out Sully's reasons for
his action. 1t seemed to me that he had
got all my information out of me. with
out pledging himself to anything in re-
turn, and that be held me as safely as
. cat does a wounded mouse. To save
my own skin by quitting Paris was a
thought can honestly aver that never

where the dead might most peacefully

said: where do the poor worship and
where are the hard benches on which

me: 1--WE have nc poor in this coun-

the novels of the destitute. and found
mansions of amber and ivory and gold,
but not a tear could | see, not a sigh
could | hear. And was bewildered,
and sat down under the branches Of
a great tree. and said: Where am
and whence comes all thisscent? And
then. out from among the leaves and
up the fowery paths and across the
broad streams there came a beautiful
group thronging all about me. and a.

and the branches of the Lebanon cedarS
were clapping their hands. and the tow
ers of the great city were Ginning their
welcome, we all together began TO leap
and shout and sing: Home! Home!

DIAMOND FIELD IN MICHIGAN

SAUL Ste. Marie, Mich, December
15.-It is reported that a diamond
field has been found in the wilds be-
tween Michipicotean and Port Arthur
The precise location is kept a profound
secret. The discovery was made last
summer by an expert from Kimberley
who made an exploring tour. A for
nation was found precisely similar TO
that of the Kimberley field. The dis
oovery is reported to be of considerable
area, and in the opinion ofthe diamond
expert The precious stones undoubtedly
exist there.
