The task of building up an adequate

and should facilitate In every possible
way the building, purchase. and American

accomplish this great task OF a sudden.
1t must embark upon 1t by degrees, as the
opportunities OF trade develop Something
and develop opportunities where they are
as yet undeveioped; done to open the
arteries OF trade where the currents have
not yet learned to run--especIaily between
the two American continents, where they
are, singuiarly enough yet 20 be created
only the government can undertake such
beginnings and assume the Initial finane

private capital begins 70 find its way In
sufficient abundance INTO these new cham

Arthur picked up the diamond from

belief that his Spartan mother had left

She telegraphed from the nearest

to the Blake agency, and It was sent
to recall Tom Blake, the head Of the
concern, from Fairfax to Richmond
No suspicion in the slightest had been
directed at Blair in connection with
the doctors murder, nor did any living

mother, know of the encounter Blair
had had with Arthur IN the doctors

Esther, too. was gone from Fairfax
now, and this, with the fight Of Az

mond detective, made the countryside
Of old artstocratic Fairfax county ring
with rumors and the revival Of old,
long forgotten tragic and mysterious
happenings among the Stanleys.
In Richmond Arthur Stanley, giving
himself the name Of John Powell,
found humble lodgings awaiting oppor,
tunity to slip from Richmond when the
hue and cry after him had died down.
1t was necessary for him to have
funds To obtain these he resolved to
pawn the diamond from the sky, be-
nevtng that no living person save Ha-
gar knew of its existence.
In eighteen years the diamond from
the sky had almost come to be regard

it had been a bit Of old trumpery that
Colonel Stanley had found ralueless
and destroyed.
It was only when he came out Of his
hiding place after several days that
Arthur dared buy and read Rich

accounts from Fairfax of the death of
Dr. Lee and the fight Of his supposed
murderer.

That night Vivian Marston. IN all her

that had torn his coat and now hurt
him dreadfully. He didn't know who

looked strangely small. and every min

his brothers, Frumpy and Grumpy, safe
in the snug pen Farmer Browns boy
had built for them, and he wished with
all his might that he never had run
away. Somehow that pen where he
had had plenty to eat and nothing to
worry about seemed a very beautiful
place now.
He was over the Green Meadows. He
could see the dear Old Brlar Patch
