CHAPTER xi.

The Name Of Sullivan.
I had my arm done up temporarily
in Baltimore and took the next train
home. I was pretty far gone when
stumbled out Of cab almost into the
scandalfSed arms Of Mrs. Klopton. In
Is minutes I was in bed, with that
good woman piling on blankets and
blstering me in unprotected places
with hot-water bottles. And in an
hour had had a whin Of chloroform
and Dr.. Williams had set the broken

I dropped asleep then, waking in
the late twilight to . realization that

pers that meant conviction for Andy
Bronson, with a charge Of murder

Productions was beckoning u in. Miss
West put on her shoe.
We said little on the car. The few
passengers stared at us frankly, and
discussed the wreck. emphasizing it,

hear. Once she turned to me with
the quick, unexpected movement that
was one of her charms.

The sustaining chain Of her small

Afterwards wished I had let 1t lie un-

she asked suddenly, and that we are

Baltimore is divided on Sunday into
three parts. those who rise and 90 to

the newspapers. and those who don't

After that l subsided like q pricked

was made in silence. The information
that she would go to friends in the
city was a shock; It meant an earlier
separation than I had planned for.
But my arm was beginning again. In

death by kangaroos. Every moonlight
night they'd come and eat my grain.
We'll. l put out some traps. and
one night landed a fine big kangaroo

speed I never have saw equaled by

tongues lolled out. their eyes rolled
and their bones fair stuck out of the
skin. They was wrecks. Now and

Queen Mary's New Diamonds.

Six diamonds, cut out of the famous
Cullinan stone, and mounted as orna-
ments. were presented to Queen Mary
by Sir Richard Solomon, high COM
missioner of the union Of South Africa,
on behalf of the government and pec-
pie, and in commemoration of the es-
tablishment of the union.
The two largest of the diamonds,
which are considered by experts to
be of matchless quality Zone weighs
92 and the other 81 karats), have
been mounted as a pendant; three,
averaging about 10 karats each, have
been mounted as a small pendant, and
the sixth as a ring.
In 1907 Sir Richard Solomon pre-
sented the original Cullinan diamond.
weighing about 5000 karats, more
than three times the size of the larg-
est diamond previously discovered. to
King Edward. as an expression of the
feeling of loyalty and attachment OF
the people of the Transvaal.
The stone was cut into two large
pieces. which are kept among the his
toric jewels forming the heirlooms of
the crown, and the stones now pre-
sented to the queen are the residue
of the original gem.
