The Diamond block stands on cor

walls rising above the crowded streets
until the upper floors are a blur to the
eye below.
Up on the twentieth floor are the
offices of John Diamond, owner of this

varied are the interests Of this rich
man and the transaction of his affairs
requires the reservation of the entra

All day long dozens of clerks pors
over ledgers. typewriters and adding
machines.
Mr.. Diamond was seldom seen about
the building. Most of his business
was transacted through competent ex-

was the chief. The Diamonds lived
in a magnificent house on the lake

DIR, BlAKE'S WIFE
SUES MRS. MACKAY
Demands $1,000, 900 For Loss
Of Husbands Affections.

New York, Sept 25.-Mrs. Joseph A.
Blake, wife of noted surgeon, has
served Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay with
the necessary papers in suit for ST.
100000 for alienation of her husbands
affections.
Because of the reluctance of both
parties to the action to face publicity
there has been delay in filing the
issse in court, but unless an agreement
is reached-now looked upon as i'm
possible because of the bitterness of
the plaintiff-the papers will be offer
ed for judicial record at the coming
term.
Mrs Mackay, whose husband sud
denly left America last June, taking
with him the three children, was serv-
ed with the papers in the alienation
suit, in which grave charges were
made just a short time before Mr..
Mackay made his flight

ton or divorce has been instituted by
Mrs. Blake against the surgeon adds

and have been for considerably more
than q year.
That the Blakes and Mackays had
been friends was subject of common
knowledge, but only in idle gossip
was any real significance attached to
the breaking OF their relations two
years ago. - 3
i Il was about this time that Mrs.
Blake began to live more or less indie
pendentiy of her husband, and at the
same time it was noticed that Mr.. and
Mrs Mackay frequently went on trips
alone, although for long time they
had been looked upon as being devoted
to each other.
Mrs. Mackay is considered one of
the most beautiful and intellectual wo-
men in American society. She is of
old Knickerbocker stock, having been
a Miss, Duer Clarence Mackay is one
OF the country's wealthiest men, hav-
ing been practically sole heir of his
father, one of the original bonanza
crowd, who, at his death, left for
tune that was placed at much more
than $50,000,000. Mrs. Mackay is about
thirty-flve years old. Her husband is a
few years her senior.

work that brought him to the personal

Young Brown was a slim. dapper

work of any sort. He read detective
stories and knew positively that he
was one of the chosen few. He pos

to win his employers daughter, Helen
Diamond, f1attering himself that he
was capable of becoming general man

would be an acceptable son-in-law.
One morning young Brown entered
the elevator and was sped up aloft
with other workers. The car stopped
at the eighteenth floor to let off pas
sengers and again at the nineteenth to
drop Trowbridge, who worked in the
Dover insurance offices. Up it shot to
the twentieth floor. where Brown got
of with a puzzled frown marring his
ingenious brow.
The empty car dropped down and as
it went he watched 1t intently. Then
he walked to another elevator and rode
down to the ground floor, counting
each floor as he passed. When he
again mounted to the twentieth floor
there was strange light in his eyes
and excitement tingling every nerve of
his sensitive frame.
He was OH the verge of a mystery,
