CHAPTER u.
The Kohlnur Goes to Sea.

1t was not long until all the loose
ends we're brought together. Jessie
WIZARDS aunt, Mrs. Deyereaux, had
been the acting spirit in getting the
scheme for restitution under way, be-
cause-until she had induced him to
do so-Max Willard had been loath to
accept his old friend Temple Boomers
assistance.
In the beginning. the one thing clear
TO all OF them had been the fact that
the Man OF Iron was protected by an
invulnerable legal barrier. and that II
redress was to be obtained at all IL
must be accomplished by means of
some surprising coup that would catch
the magnate amid such conditions
that he could not refuse to accede.
Thus 1t was that Josephine Devereaux,
on the strength Of old ties of sen.i.
ment and friendship. had easily enlist
ed Temple Bonner's financial aid.
This same lady had experienced lit.
tie difficulty In winning Paige Carew's
sympathy--particuiarly after Paige
had met and become acquainted with
Jessie. She had consented to lend
Willard her moral support, believing
that her participation in the plot was
to extend no farther than a "myster-
ious disappearance" which Willard
was supposed to utilize in some indefi-
mite manner for his own purposes.

which she. had played so conspicuous

Young Cicero Binks was an erudite
youth, and regular demon for knowl

"swotted" to tell you the truth, for
eight or ten hours every day. To give
you some little idea Of his worth, he
knew to a fraction the age OF the earth,
the actual weight Of the moon and its
gtrth. and how far all the stars were
away.
He could tell you the reason why
eggs are not meat. why toadstoola

also why there can never be cold
without heat. and why bumblebees
don't make honey. He could analyze

For the first time he showed a spark
