Like many others ill the same situation, Arthur believed his evil companions were his good friends and true. for ever they fed his Yanities and fiattered and fawned upon him. Vivian lived in m elysiam of reckless and costly luxury. There were high reyels nightly by the mad millionaire and his friends in the gay resorts of Los Angeles, and now there was 10 come the eroWHihg effort iH

 Arthur abandoned all business -af fairs to Blair Now that he had the diamond from the sky Vivian was ex- erting every vile to obtain 1t. And Arthur promised he would present fl to her fittingly at the fete.
 But there is no honor among thieves Already Durand was planning to cheat Blair after Arthur, as John Powell was ruined Durand preached this to Vivian. who played her cards tactful- ly and seemingly encouraged him in his treaehery te Blair. Her one desire was the diamond, and that was to be hers the night of the fete. She could hardly wait for it.
 The night came, d. all nights will.
 
 Esther had decided the best way to intereede for Luke would be to intrude upon Arthur at the fete and make him promise 10 secure Eukes release from prison,
 Smythe accompanied Esther in tax icab to the fete. He was attired as knight ill armor but persisted in car rying his great English umbrella He explained he did not wish to get wet and become rusted in his armor in case it rained. When informed tAa; the rainy season iu this section of the country was vet some months of Smythe had replied that rain knew no seasons. He had seen it rain in Lon don when even the Times had predict cd fair weather So he would run no risk and would take his umbrella.
 T feel better when I carry some thing, he added When l carried my game trophy. the deer head, l did not need an umbrella. h fact. it did not rain while carried it. which was remarkable. So now I shall carry the umbrella. especially as l have shipped the deer head to London. and do hope it will net be stolen or injured in transit"
 At the Powell mansion, entering with the crush of maskers, Esther and Smythe found the butler. arrayed as gorgeous major domo, receiving the guests. as the host was to make his entrance in some novel and surprising manner, it was whispered In fact the costume fete was lavish bohe milan revel Wine flowed punch was served on every side. and the guests made themselves at home and joined In the dance and revels.

very interesting and necessary work
has been undertaken by the local Zion
lists, in the organization of Young Judaen
societies in various parts of the city.
These societies are formed for the pur-
pose Of teaching, and interesting the chill
dren in Jewish history and Jewish ideals.
The fact that the children, ranging from
eight and nine years to sixteen and sew
enteen, are anxious to join these clubs,
and have been asking the committee to
form other clubs, where there is no room
for more members in those already formed,
sgnalizes a victory for Zionism, as it is
in the generation which is now growing
up, that the ideal of Zionism looks for
success and hopes to become an ideal no
more, but fact Up to date four large
clubs have been organized, The Stars Of
Zion, led by Miss Gertrude Simon, The
Young Patriots of Judah, led by Miss
Rose Calmenson, The Blossoms Of Zion,
led by Miss Daisy Ginsberg, and the
Children of Zion led by Miss Sarah Winer.
The work has been commenced in this
city only short while ago. and is under
the direction of Mr.. Harry Rosenthal, who
came here recently from New York, and
to whom much credit is due. The success
Of the work here has been so marked that
it has called forth laudatory words from
