 But the worst of Marmaduke Smythes hardships in darkest America were over. By dawn he reached a distant ranch and encountered a bcwhskered farmer drv- ing 10 the nearest town. Smythe and his precious deer head rode twenty miles Tn more or less comfort and arrived dusty tattercd, and torn at a fair sized city. At the struggling outskirts he plucked up courage again. and then when they drove Up business street the sign King George Hotel above q somewhat middle class hostelry to have so high sounding a name-Smythe clutched the cid rancher by the arm.

 "Sure!" said the matter of fact hotel clerk. You can have two rooms and two bawths if you pay for them"
 Marmadulze smythe took off his hat, pressed it in reverential manner to his breast, gazed at the sign at the doorway of the hotel. and cried fcrvently. God save the l1ing!"

 This statement was true only in so far that it was the desire of Durand and Vivian to have Arthur removed from the city. But, weak wilIed as he was under the drug addiction, Arthur was stubborn and set against leaving Los Angeles. He hardly dared mention the name of Esther ask questions concerning her, for since his physical and mental weakness had been augmented by the drugs which he used, as he thought, in secret, the whole effort Of Durand. De Eaux, Vivian, and even Blair had been to convince him that his recollec- tions Of having seen Esther were but the manifestations of periodic insanity caused by his injuries.
 And the soul stranglers had achieved their dreadful purpose. Between their con- centrated suggestion and the use of drugs Arthur had become convinced that his ob- session regarding Esther a manifesto tion Of madness, and he grew terrified at the thought of it and endeavored to keep Esther from his mind
 How is Arthur" asked Blair upon ons of the few occasions they alone. "1 mean, how is he really" Blair added, for l don't believe a word that cursed Durand says in his snug fake doctor phraseology."

 Blair winced. The shot had gone home. If Arthur Stanley, as = John Powell" re- covered in body and health, if he shook off the shackles of morphine and rid himself of the harpies who surrounded him. it would mean the end of the power and authority that had become sweet to Blair.
 Vivian laughed as sine noted Blair's changed expression. You see," she said, you may hate Durand and you may des- pise De Vaux, but, after all it was a good , thing for you that D1rand was present when Arthur was injured and saved his life and brought him back Durand has played fair with you and put you in the saddle here. So it lucky for you he and De Vaux came to ind the diamond"
 At these words Blair burst into rage. ." They shall never have that!" he cried fierceIy. The Powell millions. made in oil or mines. are just as any other dirty money to me! But the diamond from the sky be- longs to the Stanleys alone! It came from no human hand, but fell from the stars in a molten meteor. born of a miracle to our adventurer ancestor.

 Vivian threw her arms around him. Blair" she cried they must never have the diamond! I would suffer myself to be cut bits rather than it should meet shameful fate like that!'
 And these two looked into each others eyes and understood and trusted each other fully. for they both remembered the night of the Randolph ball-the first time in q generation the diamond from the sky had blazed upon the breast of fair woman, and that woman was Vivian MarstOn! In many things they could and would be the accomplices of the suave Durand the king of diamonds, and the rest of the pack" but the diamond from the sky the Stanley

Then Sam Santley had strode to the "priviIege tent, where his advertising men and the followers of the circus generally met for social converse when lon the lot" When the performance was going on in the big tent there was a lull for the grinders door takers, and shiIlabars, not to mention the plate board, cane, and doll rack men and other purveyors of amusement out and in the side -I,,.ws. This IuII was. taken ad- vantage of by dropping in to the "privi- lege" tent for bottled beer and perhaps a brisk pass " CT two at craps. All these things paid Sam Santley.

 The creature before him moistens his lips and mumbles.
 "I am Williams. boss-Jack Williams. I was out with the bill posting outfit, don't you remembers"
 Why aren't you out with it now?' snarls Santley. "Got drunk. I suppose. and quit the job cold, and now you're here with a hangover panhandling. Get off the lot before you're kicked off. As for any money. you don't get a jitneyi Beat it!''

 Sam Santley. proprietor of Santley's Stu pendous circus. was what was known as a working boss. Through devious ways luck at gambling and by the exercise of sharp practices-he had gained his way from card shark to ownership Of a show that bore his name. Santley personally supervised his own show from big top to cook tent. He acted as ringmaster and an- nouncer when the star acts were on.
 When Sam Santley published his call for show people in the amusement journals there line that always was in the advertising. This line read: "Boozers and chasers do nc write-you will not last minute" Translated t'om circus jargon this delphic utterance meant that drunk ards and male airts need nor endeavor to join with Santley's circus.
