 At the sight of B-a-r Stanley. Nr. Jones was somewhat laash-d. Eut sou- rccoI- lection came to him that stvadled him. and He greeted Blair with an assumed iudit- ference. Blair gave the newcomers a surly. slparc.Iious stare.
 " Who are thoy:" asked Vivian.

 When we set ,the diamond from the sky" replied Vivian. "I have set my heart and soul on having it. k must turn mp again"
 Nothing ever happens and everything happens. While Blair drank in gloomy silence and made 10 answer to Vivian's last remark, Jones. the tipsy ex-shippIng clerk -Ht the next table. waxed playful with the lady he called Cert. Ipon her ample bosom there hung a Gashy lavallicre sus- pended by a heavy chain MT. Jones toyed with it while waiting for the food and drink he had ordered and remarked thicllly.
 Pretty nifty piece Of junk. Cert But Nou should have seen the biz; diamond that John Powell got by express It came In a scaled package, and our head clerk. sent me ID to Mr. PowelTs house with it. He opened the package and nearly threw a fit, for there inside was case and in that case was q letter that stunt: him hard. and with it a chain and Iocket about a thousand years old. And in that locIzet Was a diamond Dig as an English wal nut. I think 1t was the same diamond that the circus guy gave the lady lion tanner. Then the lion killed the lady and her hus- band the clown. killed the circus guy. and then shot himself Remember? John Powell bought tho diamond at the auction Of the busted circus; then some gini, stole it from him. and Powell got it hacl, by express. just aa I'm telling you. They say John Powell Is crazy. He sure acted crazy when he read the note that come with the big sparllor IIo give me fifty dollars to keep ny mouth shut about it.
