A week earlier he would have said.
Yes. sir" but his soul was very bit
ter vet against Tsaacstein.
VERY well, 1t may take me months
--years-to realize on your collection. To
do 1t properly l must have some idea
of its magnitude. If there are eXcep-
tionany large stones among it, they will
be dealt with separately. They may
rival or eclipse the few historical dia-
monds Of the world. but their worth
can only be measured by the readiness
Of some fool to pay hundreds of thou
sands for them. See?"
Yes, nodded Philip again. His SEN
tiousness brought the man to the point
Therefore you must take me into
your confidence. What quantity Of
stones do you possess, and what are
their sizes? I must know"
Isaacstein, cooler now. pursed his lips
and pressed his thumbs together until
they appeared to be in danger of dislo-
cation. 1t was his favorite attitude
when engaged in a deal. It signified
that he had cornered his victim Philip,

his own interest to tell his chosen ex-
pert the exact facts. and nothing but

The boy, singularly untlurried in tone
and manner, hazarded an inquiry.
What amount of ordinary diamonds
in their money value l mean, can you
dispose of readily in the course of a
year. Mr.. lsaacstein?"
"Oh. two or three hundred thousand
pounds worth. II is a matter largely
dependent on the condition Of trade gen

And the bigger stones. worth many

Hints For the
Household

Add borax or powdered soap to the
washing water for plates instead of
soda. When washing glassware add
little ammonia. This makes the
glass clear and easily polished.
To remove tar marks rub a little
butter on the spot and allow it to
stand till the tar is softened, when 1t
will wash out with warm water and
soap
Dish mops may be kept odorless by
having a solution of soda in a Jar
beside the sink, and placing the mops
in this when they are not in use
Corks boiled for five minutes before
use in the case of bottled fruits, etc,
can be easily pressed in and then
make perfectly air-tight shoppers.
Milk which has slightly turned
may be sweetened and rendered fit
for use again by stirring in a little
soda.

THE KING OF DIAMONDS

Il was wondering how you would

For some reason 1t profoundly dis
turbed his hcarer He wobbled for a
little while. and finally he sighed per-
pleNedly. The dealer was not a bad man.
In business he was noted for exceed
ing shrewdness combined with strict
commercial honesty. But the case that
now presented itself contained all the
elements OF temptation No matter how
clever this boy might be, he was but
boy, and opportunities for cheating
him must arrive, II not he, Isaacstein.
there were others. The boy possessed
a large store. possibly a very large store
of rough gems and in dealing with them
his agents could rob him with impunity
Yet. in answer to an unguarded ques-
ton. this extraordinary youth admitted
that lsaacstein might merit eternal bliss.
Such an eventuality had not occurred
to the Jew himself during unrecorded
years Now that 1t was suggested to
him it disturbed him.

"uh, yes, Why should you rob me?

The wonder is that the Jew did not

A Bit of News.

Philips face lit up with strange
light as this protest left his lips. The
meteor was his mothers bequest. She
gave it TO Inn. and she would safe
guard IT, Had she failed hitherto? Was
not all London ringing with the news
OF his fortune, yet what man or woman
had discovered the whereabouts Of this
treasure? In mis- pocket he felt the
great iron key Of No. Johuson's News.
and he was as certain now that his
hiding place was unknown as that his
mothers Spiri, was looking down on
him from heaven and directing his
every movement

lack Of composure, saw the nestiug
glimpse Of spirituality in the boys eyes.

WAHLFSLETTER
FULLY SETTLES
RECORD QUERY

That otto WalIe Of A. A. u. rec.
lords committee writes on the records
and settles nothing is statement
lin the morning paper relative to a
letter received by the editor of the
Start Bulletin, from the nations fore
most authority on swimming records.
Mr.. Wahle's letter, which was printed
in yesterdays issue of the Star-Bulle-
tin, put the final spike in the fake
claim of the morning paper that Duke
broke the s50-yard and 220-yard
worlds records in The June IL swim
ming meet here.
Reference to the official record
book of the A. A. u. or to the World 5
Almanac, could have prevented the
original ridiculous misstatement of
the morning paper, but because. some
oyer-enthusfastic officials at the meet
contracted the habit of calling every
time that was hung up worlds
mark, one of the morning papers
bright young men Numbered, and then
adopted the childish policy of trying
to stick to claim that printed rec
ords disproved. The reference to
worlds A. a. u. records" which
came a day or SO later by way of an
out is still standing joke in local
sportdom.
Here are some of the statements
made in Mr.. Wahle's letter. which
the morning paper claims settles
nothing"
.aThe fastest time for so yards
straightaway in open water is un-
doubtedly Wickham's, which has been
acknowledged as an Australian rec
ord,
Wickham's time for the distance is
% 80 seconds. Dukes time made
here. June II was "a seconds fiat
In the 220-yards championship Of
n. s. w, 1912, which / mentioned be-
fore, Cecil Healy swan the distance
in 2.29 As as the second man. and he
did not beat the gun at the start"
Il would. not term 2.S4 2-5 a worlds
record"
Dukes time was 2.34 2-5.
If these statements settle nothing,
the state of Missouri must have great
ly extended its boundaries.
