THE DIAMOND THIEF
= = = IS .
BY H. M. Egbert
VanderhUizen, the big Dutchman,
stepped aboard the down-cOUntry
train from Kimberley, South Africa,
en- route for Cape Town. He laid his
suit case carelessly upon the rack,
placed his hand upon his breast to
make sure that the package for which
he had risked many years of free
dom was there and sat down in
seat, looking out at the desert land
scape.
At BoshOf a stranger came into the
train, looked keenly about him. Van
derhuizen recognized him as a man
named James, from Kimberley also;
he had once been a mine guard but
had been dismissed for some dishOn-
esty. He had contTived in some way
to avoid the clutches Of the law, al
ways severe on buyers of diamonds
from the native quaTTymen.
Vanderhuizen nodded surlily. James
was the last person in the world that
he wanted to see just then.
James smiled sardOnicaIly. Come
into the smoker, Van," he said, and
we can discuss business"
Vanderhuizen uttered an oath and
his hand stole in a betraying manner
to the package inside his coat. He
saw James eyes follow the move
ment and realized that he was
trapped. Sullenly he arose and ac-
cOmpanied him.
''Wen?" he grOwled, as they took
their places in the empty smoker.
Halves" said James IaconicaIly.
Pm fly"
Curse you!" said Vanderhuizen.
Its lucky thing you met me, " re-
turned James quietly. do you know
Thompson of the Kimberley police?"
What of him?"

A broad survey Of the comment OF the Amer
lean press as voicing the public sentiment Of the
country discloses an almost unanimous verdict
that the German reply TO the presidents
Lusitania note is far from satisfactory. The
commonest characterizations OF II are "evasive,"
"quibbling." "unresponsive," Disappointing. >
"shifty." True, few newspapers, chiefly those
that have been championing the German cause.
profess TO see the presentation by Germany Of
certain points entitled TO further consideration
and supporting proof OF the American ropre-
sentation. namely, the suggestion that the
Lusitania was in fact an armed auxiliary OF the
British navy. but the farthest they go is to
admit room for dispute this point warrant
ing investigation and possible arbitration.
The press reflex OF current opinion makes
certain that the people of the United States az
a whole are ready to reinforce insstence
upon the demands made in the original conf
munication transmitted through Ambassador
Gerard, and that they will accept and back up
the presidents judgment should he conclude
severance OF diplomatic relations necessary to
maintain our position.
