TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT.

There were hundreds OF tiny dia-

and not few the size OF small peas
As matter OF fact he discovered
subsequently that the net result of his
sweeping brought him in over a thou
sand pounds.
Having examined every nook and
crevice Of the apartment by the aid OF
the candle, he satisfied himself that
naught remained which would indicate
to the most curious eye any event out
Of the common having occurred in that
humble dwelling.
1t was typical of Philips implicit
faith that he did not unlock the back
door until his interior task was ended.
He knew that his meteor was un-
touched.
There was no wind without. The
candle, feeble as it's rays were, tlum-
mated the small yard sufficiently 10
reveal it's debris of white stones and
darker humps of metal Beginning at
the doorway he swept vigorously but
with minutest care. until be had formed
four good sized piles on the flagstones.
He could not afford to differentiate
between the debris of the damaged
pavement and the fragments Of the
meteor II was easy to distinguish the

A Thrilling Story of a Modern Monte Cristo--

the actual body of the meteor in the
stout sack he obtained from O'Brien,
and then inclose all his valuabes in a
tin trunk which he would purchase next
morning. Any ordinary trunk would
certainly be spacious enough, but its
phenomenal weight would unquestion-
ably evoke more comment than he de-
sired, and it would need two strong
men to lift it.
This portion Of his plan needed to be
entirely remodeled. and he was now
more than ever thankful that the so
pounds. save one expended. Teposed in
his pocket With money all things, or
nearly all things, were. possible.
Owing to the cramped space in which
the meteor lay It was no small task
to bring It to the surface in sections.
But he persevered. BY strenuous en-
deavor he accumulated an astonishing
pile Of iron ore studded with diamonds,
looking not unlike almonds in a brown
cake, and the guttering candle held low
down failed to reveal anything else
in the hole There was a good deal of
debris at the bottom, and the depth
was now over four feet. To reach to
it's full extent he was compelled to jam
his head and shoulders into the eX-
cavation and feel blindly with one hand,
