asked OBrien what the stranger was
talking about.
"Ye nivver heard SIGH a blaggard, -
said the old man. Indignantly. Il was
in the middle of tellin' him about Mr..

In the Mile End road the rawboned
person who betrayed such excitement

And he entered the Mary Arson home
again to ask the porter what had taken
place.
II was an easy matter for Jocky
Mason, released from Portland prison
on ticket-of-leave, after serving the ma
jor portion of sentence of fourteen
years penal servitude-the man he as
saulted had died, and the ex-convict
narrowly escaped being hanged-to as
certain the salient facts of Philip An
sons later career.
IL was known TO most men. He vas
biographed briefly in Who's Who" and
had often supplied material for a coll
umn of gossip in the newspapers. Ev-
cry free library held books containing
references 10 him.
IT was quite impossible that the
source of his great wealth should re-
main hidden for all time. In one way
and another it leaked out. and he Re

who created a sensation in the dock of
the Clerkenwell police station.
But this was years later. and the
clever manipulation of Mr.. Abingdon,
as his estate agent. and OF Mr.. Isaac
steoin, as his representative in the dia-
mond trade completely frustrated all at
tempts TO measure the true extent of the
meteor's value.
For now Philip owned a real diamond
mine in South Africa: he had a fine
estate in Sussex house in Park Lane,
superb sea-soing yacht. colliery in
Yorkshire, and vast sums invested in
land and railways. The latent value of
his gems had been converted into
money-earning capital. =
Mr.. Abingdon proved himself to be a
very able business man. When the
administration of Philips revenue be-
came too heavy a task for his unaided
shoulders. he organized a capital estate
office. with well-trained lawyers, en-
| gineers and accountants to conduct its
various departments, while he kept up
an active supervision of the whole un-

was old enough to begin to bear some
portion of the burden.
They agreed TO differ on this import

and adventure. With great difficulty
his guardian" kept him out of the
army, but compromised the matter by
allowing the young millionaire to roam
about the odd corners of the world in
his yacht for eight months of the year,
provided he spent four months of the
season in London and Sussex attending
to affairs.
In this month of April he was living
