had, unknowingly till now, deprived
him of. And Arthur was young. For
him the strong, brotherly affection he
bore for Esther and the desire in his
heart to do justice to Blair were now
the main motives of his life. And he
would have this farewell joyance with
Blair.
Blair took him first to Abraham
Blooms private "club,' and here. de-

the wisdom of which he now wonder
ed at himself, Blair plunged again at
roulette and lost the money he had
got on his watch at the pawnbroker's
and half of what Arthur had got from
the same source on the diamond from
the sky, of which. of course, Blair
knew nothing.
Up to Richmond this night of Mrs.
Randolph's ball came Hagar. She
brought with her Esther, from whom
she was resolved never again to be
parted. Hagar brought also as half
servant, half bodyguard her lieutenant
in her gypsy queenship, Luke Lowell.
Tom Blake, the detective, returned to
Richmond at her summons and met
her. 1t took but few inquiries with
the means at Blake's command to To-
cate Blair Stanley, cutting a swath in
Richmond's gayest circles. 1t was with
surprise Hagar learned, and a happy
surprise, too, that Blair Stanley was
alive and seemingly uninjured the
while Arthur had believed he had kill
ed him.
Later in the evening Blake brought
her word that Arthur was with Blair
under an assumed name and it was
evident was going to the Randolph ball
with Blair that night
On many occasions the thrifty Hagar
had turned such fashionable functions
as the Randolph ball to good account
