netians. In 1870 Venice was in dire
distress. The Venetian terra firma
up to the Bebbe tower and the Moran
zano had been occupied by Francesca
da Carrara. AS an added menace, the
enoese after many sanguinary con-
nicts were in possession of chioggia.
The people were in deadly fear of the
final onslaught. The Senate met to
consider what should be done. 1t was
decided to send messengers to the in
vadcrs and pray for peace at any
cost.
The invaders refused to listen to
peace proposals. They sneered at the
peace ambassadors. and their leader,
PIetro Dorio. sent back this word:
Upon my honor you shall never have
peace either from the Lord OF Padua
or from Genoa until we have bridled
those unhridled horses of yours that
stand On the palace of your Evangelist
81, Mark"
The arrogant assertion of Dorio did
not daunt the Ncnetians. The %populace
wa indignant at their chiefs for their
lack of aggressiveness in opposing the
invaders. They cried for the release
of Admiral Nittor Pisani, who was very
popular, although he was in prison
for his defeat in Dalmatian waters.
The public clamor became so great
that the Doge issued orders for the
immediate release Of Admiral Pisani.

forced them to surrender. There was
great JOY among the Venetians, Ad-
mlral Pisani was proclaimed a hero
and the four horses remained I'M
bridled.
Martin Sanudo was the first writer
to confirm the tradition that the four
horses were brought from Constanti-
nople. He speaks with authority in
n certain measure, basing his conten-
ton on particulars supplied by eye
witnesses. Sanudo has yet another YER
sion OF the origin OF the horses. He
asserts that they were made In Persia
and brought first to Rome. Sanudo
Is believed to have beer misled into
this statement by seeing the horses
represented IN the reverse side OF a
Roman coin.
Sanduso relates that one OF the
horses IA damaged while being
brought to Venice on board Ser Dam
enico Morosini's galley. The hind foot
WAS broken of and Morosini kept the
foot as n memento. The foot was
brought to a house In st. Augus:ine's

mystery. Bah. it's family affair,
some skeleton in the cupboard that
would not bear the investigation
from anyone on the outside. But

Jean then explained about the
broken hammers and their respec-
tive positions. as we'll as the dia-
mond that he had found wedged be-
tween the two keys. also the two
pieces of ivory which he took from

"Um," mused Kirk as he handled
the stone cautiously, and eyed the
ivory with disgust, Here is small
box that you might keep the dia-
mond in" suggested Kirk as he
produced a small leather case from
his pocket.
But you might leave the worry

Jean promised he would do any
thing to throw light on the affair,
so they shook hands on the agree
ment, bidding one another adieu, as
the hour was getting late and Jean
was beginning to feel tired after
his tireseme days work.
After a restless night, dreaming
of solving the difficult problem,
Jean INDUCED in cold sponge, and
after partaking of a sumptous meal,
including a bony bunch of flying
fish, which is 80 demotic in South
Africa, he sauntered towards the
piano store. His arrival was greet
ed with pleasantly. But no remarks
were made regarding his bizarre ex-
perience as to his yesterdays occur
ance. His present days work con-
sisted of two tunings. Having
plenty of time to spare, he sudden
ly bethought Of the diamond that he
had in his vest pocket. Why not
take it to a jeweler and have it
tested.
Abu Singh was the shop in which
Jean found himself. Abu Singh. In
person, was the Hindu gentleman
to whome the stone was given for
inspection.
Did you fiud this Sahib?" asked
Abu in suave manner.
NO" answered Jean. But it be.

Can you tell me the value without
any further questions?'
Yes. Sabib. I can. I wouldn't

an oily manner.

Snapped Jean. I'm asking you
the intrinsic value of it,"
You will pardon my seeming
impudence, Sahib, but / only spoke
the truth. You have been a victim
of circumstances in some way or
other, for this is not a diamond as
you suppose, but just an insigniti-
piece of glass.

"A piece of glass;" emphasized by
the word: insignificant" One
could not expect to equiponderate
theories on such a dimutive scale.
Jean was about to cast the worth

second thought, he replaced it into
it's former resting place.
