Woods tirelessly, uncomplainingly re-
NAMED working at the Office many
time till clear after midnight.
Where was the leak? The books
were amazingly correct. The works
were under competent management,
yet there was a deficit in profit and
in the volume of business done.
So one morning Wayne started out
to put in operation a new system Of
economy. Addison Woods smiled
cOvertly after his departure. He was
very matter-Of-fact when Wayne re-
turned from the factory.

and he took a casual glance in at a
dainty industrious figure bent over a
neat table covered with pens, colored
inks and brushes.

over her work.

She is quiet, orderly and minds her

A month went by and late one
afternoon Wayne, passing the door of
the rear room was arrested by the
echo of faint sob. He stepped over
the threshold to find Miss Wharton
with her face buried in her hands.
She was crying, but strOve to hide her
emotion as Wayne, rather wonder
ingly, approached her.

hungry. So he left his den, bought
some cheese and rye bread and re-
turned now to begin his labors again,
During certain intervals of silence he
heard without apparent notice slight
scratching sounds. The furnace be-

upon his lined and ecstatic counte-

When night came he went again to

1t could not be possible that he had

Hassam Ali look into his crystal.
The next day after Zudora had gone
forth-to meet her lover, Hassam Ali
was assured-Hassam Ali retired to
the mystic room. He was curious to
see how long his sisters face would
keep forming in the heart of the crys-
tai. He was intensely superstitious
without realizing the fact, Yet again
he saw the face, the same appeal in it.
His heart swelled with fury and hate.
He was beginning to hate his niece;
for we invariably hate those we have
wronged or intend to wrong. When
ever he saw her slender white throat
a horrible, almost irresistible, desire
laid hold of him to take that white
throat within his fingers and crush the
life out of it. At the same time he
became vaguely alarmed lest at some
time or other he should surrender to
this mad desire. No, mol A thou

constructed machine of small wheels,
that spun with lightning rapidity
Every now and then he paused and
scrutinized the minute object he held
in his fingers. At length he seemed
satisfied, rose, stopped the machine,
and shuffed over to a cupboard.
Then he sat down on cot and began
to figure in a small notebook. The
result of his mathematics evidently
pleased him.
In a corner, behind curtains, stood
a furnace, a crucible, with powerful
bellows and chimney. 1t looked
adaptable to tremendous heat pres

ferred to was an unfamiliar one to any
but the eyes of those who have
watched similar machines in Am
sterdam and Rotterdam in Holland,
1t was a diamond cutting and polish

chile brought forth remained to be
seen.
The diamond cutter rose again and
once more approached the cupboard,
and gloated over his treasure, which
consisted of half dozen perfect gems,

Then came sudden transition from

be to hale him before the customs
