beTley, by the merest chance, that
Vanderhuizen intended to go down
country. He himself had never dared
to purchase diamonds from the ma
tives, but. he knew Vanderhuizen's
reputation as a successful and dar-
ing thief and it had occurred to him
that there was splendid Opportuni-
ty of compelling the man to share
his plumber with him.
The advent upon the scene of In
spector Thompson had been a little
discOnceTting, but the same chance
which had told him of Vanderhuizen'
maneuVer had given him information
that the police were on the mans
trail. He had then telegraphed to
Klipfontein for the two hOrses-and
everything had gone like clOckwOrk.
1t was no wonder that he chUckled.
Looking back he could see the horse
still lying upon the sand, and Wander
huizen, a tiny figure under the moon,
marching painfully back. His own
plans could not fail him. He would
strike the water hole, refresh him
self and his steed, and then proceed
in Ieisurely manner toward the
wagon path.
At last he reached the place. He
shackled his horse to a thorn tree and
climbed the ascent toward the hOl-
low crater in which lay the pond. But
when he reached the summit he
found himself staring down into a
dry mud hole.
The water had dried up under the
influence of the hot sun and an I'M
usually long dry season
For few minutes he could not be-
ieVe his eyes. Then he lost his self
control. He would have to go back
to Vanderhuizen. And his bottles
were empty. He was parched with
thirst and his animal was incapable
of proceeding further.
