quite as tiresome; but never one that
seemed quite so long as this. When a
day in the city had been consumed in
obtaining legal advice from friend,
buying a few books and new songs for
Angie, and a late model rifle for old
Cy, Martin started for Greenvale with
a roll of currency, and the journey
back seemed interminabIe
1t was late and he was dusty and
very tired ere the doctors pleasant
home was reached, and by that time
Martin had realized that to carry out
what he hoped, and not set Greenvale
gossips agog, required both tact and
diplomacy.

won't sell except for a fabulous price,
and if the unexpected should happen

it,"
That's right" laughed the doctor,
"but keep on thinking she won't, and
you'll win. I've told her if she didn't
marry you, I'd never speak to her again.
I've heard" continued the doctor, as
Martin made no response to this sally,
that some one was here last spring
trying to buy David's property, but
wouldn't pay the price"
Il still think I'll make him an
offer" answered Martin, to close the
subject, land if l get it and don't sell,
I'll turn it into fish-pond."
1t was a game of diamond cut dia-

CHAPTER XVIII.
DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.

In Martins long hours of trying to
solve the problem, now SO suddenly
confronting him, one danger seemed
imminent-that David Curtis might
sell out to this stranger before it
could be proved that hts brother still
lived. Land could be attached but
money, once in the hands of a man
like David, was not easily reached by
law. What Martin decided to do, cost
what it might, was not to buy the
Mizzy power and land, but keep David
from selling it until the existence of
Amzi could be proved There was but
one way to 60 ito secure an Op-
ton and pay small sum down to
bind the bargain.
1T will cost me a few thousand
dollars" he said to himself, when a
decision was reached, but it may save
Angie her heritage" And Martin was
fast reaching that point where money
seemed like brown leaves compared to
wOman's love.
To go to David without actual cur
rency to pay down was useless, and
there was no bank in Greenvale Early
the next morning Martin packed his
valise, and telling the doctor that bust

voice. 81 can sell you the whole for

The bargain was very soon conclud-
ed, and then Miss Betty was suddenly
seized with curiosity. "It doesn't seem

she said, looking around.
Judy told her customer that she had
purchased them, and being drawn out
of herself perhaps by the excitement of
good fortune, told her how she wanted
to help them all at home Miss Betty
was very kind and sympathetic. and be-
fore she went away asked Judy to come

Christmas night, and bring her aunt.

they've asked lots of Foppleton folks"
said Aunt Jane, a little resentfully.

from which the Reverend Jones each
Sunday explained Gods plan of saliva
ton, with occasional descriptions Of
the city with jasper walls and pearly
gate, as well as the other place-were
the Ten Commandments. David had
to read them once a week at least, and
the Thou shalt not steal" as the years
rolled on, seemed to smite him more
and more. Often he would resolve not
to read it, and then it gave him no
peace until he did. 1t was like mag
net, and out of the entire ten the ono
that drew his eyes first. And then, his
solitary, unsocial, and selfish life
worked it's inevitable result. He grew
more superStitiOus, and the fear that
AmZi might return in body or spirit
haunted him at night. He saw him in
his dreams, imagined him peeping into
the house when a board creaked, and,
waking in the dead of night, he read.
Thou shalt not steal" glowing in the
darkness. He grew timid, dared not go
alone to dark rooms for fear of meet
ing AMI, and as his mind became dis
eased from brooding over the super
natural, the ghost faint increased.
And now, in the midst of all these
fears, came the desire to escape them.
1t followed the call from stranger
who sought to buy his most valued
possession, the Mizzy power-in fact,
a sequence to that. In spite of his con-
ceit, David realized he had but few
friends, and now to turn his possessions
into cold cash and establish himself
elsewhere seemed wise. He had, in
bis business dealings, visited Riverton
often, and there received more or less
consideration as the wealthiest resident
of Greenvale-an homage very sweet
to him. He would escape the sight Of
old Cy, Aunt Comfort, Angie, and other
reproaches, and best of all, as he i'm
agined, escape the haunting fear of
AMI.
Then came Martin with his astonish-
ing proposal to buy the Mizzy falls,
and, during that sharp bargain-driving,
to insinuate facts and dangers that
gave David cold chills. 1t had resulted
in his securing $4,000, and also an adj
dition to his stock of worriment al
most unbearable. 1t was a proposal
and payment, also, that David, shrewd
villain that he was, could not fathom.
He had heard on all sides that Martin
had returned to Greenvale wealthy. He
knew of his youthful attachment to
Angie, and his now open and pointed
attentions which undoubtedly meant
marriage; and as if this combination
of danger was not sufficient, this bold
young man who carried a big roll Of
money as if it were a handkerchief,
had limited of Angles legal rights
against his. that could most likely be
sustained by law! And now, the more
David pOndered over this business
transaction, the more sure he was that
it meant a lawsuit later on. He had
the $4,000 fast enough, he had signed
an agreement which in law was almost
as good as warranty deed; and yet,
before "a hours had passed, so sure was
he that he had walked into a trap, that
he would have gladly paid twice $4,000
for the return of that agreement.
His punishment had only just begun.
