In the meantime Austin had been
remanded to police headquarters where
at II o'clock he was arraigned before
Judge Lancaster of the municipal
court on a warrant charging assault
with intent to kill. Austin was repre-
scented by Former Judge Benedict +.
Maher and James F. Boyle, and by
advice Of his counsel he waived a
reading Of the warrant and pleaded
not guilty. County Attorney Fisher
then addressed the court upon motion
to dismiss the respondent.
He said in substance that after a
most complete and thorough eXamina-
ton of witnesses and evidence he was
satisfied that the affair was one
wherein Austin was wholly blameless
and that the blow he struck while
the man was rushing upon him with
an open knife was entirely in self-de-
fence and that it would be not only
a useless and unnecessary expense for
the county to pursue the matter fur
Their, but would be a grave injustice
TO the unfortunate man who unwit-
tingly caused his fellow workman's
death.
Judge Lancaster at the conclusion
Of the county attorneys presentation
Of the facts ordered the respondent
discharged.

Esther realized the sense and sincerity of Mrs. Randolphs kindly pleading and agreed to sabide by her advice. Quabba took up his lodgings in the part of the town of Richmond he was familiar with, prepar- ing to start shortly in his search for Ar thur, and Esther returned to Mrs. Ran dolph's.
 Thus, for rising fortunes in the far west. for ancient title and a vast estate in England. for old and honored name in Virginia, and for that baIeful gem of price, the diamond from the sky, deep in the cold waters of the Pacific, men and women adventured and schemed. while Fate wove all in her web and Time sifted all their deeds through his cold, impassi hands!

 With meekness almost puritanical in it's sleek hypocrisy, he had answered his mother to the effect that he would do as she desired. He prepared himself. at his mothers suggestion, to return to Rich mond and make amends with the dis gruntled relative and society leader, Mrs. Burton Randolph. For Mrs. Randolph had developed a fondness for Esther that Esther, mOtherless and alone in the world, had been quick to realize was unselfish and well intentioned. Hence Mrs. Stanley had recognized they would need the aid of Mrs. Randolph to locate Esther and bring about her return to Mrs. Randolph's hospitable mansion to better cOnsummate marriage between Blair and Esther.

 But in this the kind hearted Richmond society leader was mistaken. For hardly had she left Esther when the latter found on her bureau by the window the. large envelope with the banknotes and the mys- terious message. Esther kissed the note. because it seemed almost the personal prox- imity of Arthur. The money, which was $1,000, hardly concerned her at all, except that she realized it would smooth the path of ,Quabba to the west in seeking Ar thur. That Arthur knew where she was and had strong though secret influences working in her behalf was all well enough perhaps to his masculine manner of think ing.
