MIR. Dunbaugh had no complaint to

provisions of the new law. so far az they
would affect foreign built ships admitted
to registry under the registry act uf
1914. This act authorized the President
TO suspend all inspection features Of
the navigation laws as affecting foreign
built ships applying for American reg
istry.
An executive order issued in Scptem-
Der, 1914, suspended such laws for two
years and II was supposed that 1t would
automatically suspend amendments TO

seanien'S law. Attorney General Greg

would be necessary to cover amend

Come III and tell me- interrupted
Santley. for the loss of horse and
bill posting wagon was something to
worry about. That Burk had been
killed did not matter much. Bill
posters cost nothing. 1t is different
with horses and wagons.
Then. seeing Williams was shaking
as with ague. Santley ordered a drink
of whisky from his private stock for
him. Williams gulped it down and
told his story as best suited him. But
he said no word regarding the trum-
perry that had perhaps been the real
cause of the death of Burk the bill
poster and the loss of the horse and
wagon.
A game of craps attracted Sankey's
attention after he had made a mental
calculation that after all the horse was

the wagon rickety affair that could
be replaced at slight cost
"a hundred dollars at the outside is
the Ioss," thought Santley to himself.
He always had been lucky at dice.
The cynical idea occurred to him that
he might here in brief moment re-
coup this loss. He drew roll Of bills
from his pocket, tossed a 500 note on
the crap table and growled. why
shoot for chicken feed"
Ragged. unkempt, without dollar in
his pocket and realizing Santley would
absolve himself from any wages that
might be due him. owing to the loss
Of the horse and wagon. the miser-
able billposter eyed the hundred dollar
banknote hungrily. TnstinctiveIy his
hand searched his clothes. and in
stinctively and as if drawn by fate
the wretched man brought forth the
diamond from the sky.
Santley eyed the chain and locket
curiously. He thought how it would
adorn the fair throat of the coquettish
La Belle, the Lady of Lions.
Il shoot hundred bucks against
the junk he growled and tossed the
dice to Williams.
The necklace with the great diamond
clattered to the table. Williams seized

thumb and finger of the casting hand.
The dice rolled. paused, spun. rocked
and settled. Two aces We're uppermost

Santley chuckled. swept the stakes
up In his hairy paw and laughed
hoarsely at the chalky faced, trembling
