He laughed and pressed her hand.
He had been on the point Of telling her
his innermost suspicious, He saw now
that she was going to have trouble
enough without his adding to it. Brave
little girl! Because she loved him she
had assumed almost three times the
tasks Of Hercules. He became more
and more determined to follow her and
stand guard over her in every case she
had-that is, If they left him alone.
From the bottom of his soul he dis.
trusted Keene, Hassam Ali, so called.
1t did not require an unusually sharp
intuition to feel the sense of hatred di.
rected against him whenever he came
into the presence of the mystic. But
he possessed no defined theory as to
what had caused this activity of pas.

ment for the niece. Nor could 1t be
due to the fact that he. Storm. looked
with contempt upon Keene's work. He
knew Keene TO be absolutely indiffer.
ent to what the public thought of his
affairs. In this Storm was compelled
to admit Of secret admiration for
the man. Think deeply and constantly
as he might, however, he could not
bring to the surface any legitimate
cause for Keenes bitter antagonism.
Storms mistake was that he did not
reveal to Zudora what his real suspi
cions were-that 1t was Hassam Ali
who wanted him out of the way. They
both in that event would have escaped
good deal of trouble, being mutually
prepared for it.
When they at last separated Storm
went downtown, quite aware of the
fact that he was being shadowed. But
he did not recognize his shadower.
Storm usually worked late at night
in his study, and he generally felt the
need of bite before turning in. This
midnight lunch consisted of cheese and
crackers and pint Of ale. He was
seldom troubled with Insomnia. Every
other day he would drop into Alt
manns cheese shop, chat awhile with
the cheesemaker, his wife and daugh.

SYNOPSIS.

Zudora is left an orphan at an early
age. Her father is killed in gold mine
Zudora and the fortune from the mine
which grows to be worth S20,O0O,0O0, are
left in the guardianship of Frank Keene
Zudoras mothers brother Zudora, CIV
ing promise of great beauty, reaches the
age Of eighteen. The uncle. who has set
himself up as a Hindu mystic and is
known as Hassam Ali decides that Zu-
dora must die before she can have
chance to come into possession of her
money, so that it may be left to him, the
next Of kin. Hassam Ali sees an obstacle
to his scheme in the person of John
Storm, a young lawyer for whom Zu-
dora has taken a fancy. and he COM
mands the girl to put the man out of her
mind Zudora insists that If she cannot
marry Storm she will marry no one.
well, WELL" says Hassam ALI "if you
take such a stand I'll compromise. Solve
my next twenty cases and you can marry
him. fail in single case and you must
renounce him"
ZudOra, using the knowledge gained
from years of association with her uncle,
unravels battling mystery and wins her
first case-a case in which John Storm is
saved from being convicted of a murder
instigated by Hassam Ali himself
ZudOra and Ilassam Ali visit Nabok
Shan's house, where sleep overcomes ev-
cry one whenever Nabok attempts to mar
ry princess. Storm, seeking Zudora, is
made prisoner ZudOra foils Nabok
shan, restores the princess to her original
lover and saves Storm from death.

backward toward the wall.
I'VE must wait u few moments.
Sometimes the heat is too small. some
times too hot The secret is the me-

The speaker threw OFF the power,
stood immovable for the space of four
minutes, then delcately picked out

with small hammer. Presently he
held out his palm. A crystal a little
larger than a pinhead lay upon it.

Trust me-" said Hassam All.
So he took the diamond away. He
was still bit skeptical. 1t might be
that this diamond cutter was not such
fool as he looked. In some scientific
manner the crystal might have been
previously confined in the carbon. If

He went to the cupboard and pro

them into Hassam Ali's hands The
gems were all exquisitely cut and pol

of an ordinary parlor match head.

Hassam ALI counted them. He
