 There is but one thing to do said Esther "Teli the truth I am tired Of subterfuse and deception am ,,oing back to my mother in Richmond. She has recovered. and she needs me. l cannot shield Arthur at the expense 0f wfoHsiffg any one. much as l have loved him and much as others have loved him IT he has done evil things Ge is not worthy 0f furth her sacrifice and silence know Blair Stanley to be wicked, as are all those who live in luxury with Arthur. So tell the truth"
 No. Miss Esther" said Luke huski- ly; "l will keep silent. They have dou- ble crossed me, and I will have re- yenge in my own way-the gypsy's way"
 There is only one course to follow, my poor Luke said Esther gently,
 and that is the open and truthful course
 Do not mix up in this" replied Luke earnestly Go back to Hagar and ask her to forgive me and forget 1 ever rebeled against her. I will at tend to my enemies and to hers.

 Eukes determination and contrition were so evident that Esther made no further attempt to change his mind. She invoked a blessing on the rugged gypsy and left him, convinced his loy- alty to her and Hagar was what it had been before money greed had led Luke to evil courses and companions.

 In fact, Vi" says Graydon te that fair charmer. you seem to be un old friend to everybody but me in this town
 Vivian smiled. She has met Graydon iu the park by telephone appointment. Now that her charge has recovered Nils. Marston, who 50 capably nursed him. has time for her social engagements again. She must be tactful ill social matters, however, as Blair is jealous and Durand suspicious. But GlaFdon Is too good a friend to lose, accord ing to Miss Marstons way of think ing. and unknown to the others con cerned she has driven to the park and kept her secret appointment with the old man.
 You have been cruel and negIectfus of me, Vi, continues Graydon But here is something in the paper that may interest you. You are crazy about diamonds, and l remember your telling me of q wonderful one that broke your heart when it was taken from you by train robbers. It was a wild story. and l cannot say believed 1t. But there seem to be strange tragedies about big diamonds. Here, the paper says. is wonderful one that caused q triple tra gedy the other day at the circus
 Vivian paled as he showed her the newspaper account "Yes. I know. she said, T was there It was q won derful diamond and''-she faltered-,.a dreadful tragedy"
 But she does not tell him the dIa= mond was the yeritable gem she lost Homer Graydon was a materialist.= He was skeptical of much he saw, and he believed little of what he heard.

 Will you?" asked Vivian eagerly.
 "I will if you promise to give up these old friends who have recently monopolized you. Old friends? Pooh Never mind old friends Stick to good friends and you'll wear diamonds
 ''I will stick to good friends who get me the diamond" retorted Vivian Tt is well enough to criticise my old friends, as you call them but they have promised me the diamond too"

 Blair and Durand and De Vaux who were present. started in surprise at this announcement. The lawyers jaw dropped, he stepped back pace and fell backward over his chair
 Just then the servant announced that rough fellow was at the door who demanded 10 see Mr. Powell and Mr Blair Stanley
 The party left the library and cross ed to the door. Luke had followed the butler in. and Blair and Durand with out ado seized the gypsy and thrust him out.
 A policeman was waiting. and Luke struggling and protesting. was thrown into an automobile and taken to the station house. the others going along as complaining witnesses.
 At the station house Luke, strangely silent now, was searched

 Over the heads of those closest to him Luke glanced fixedly at Arthur. who blanched and trembled It vas Il slip of paper such as had been around the train robber treasure Arthur had come upon in the desert, funds upon which he had founded the great John Powell fortune!
  Arthur had given to Luke IT had been hidden among them and Luke had held to 1t, when the money was gone. as eyi- dence against Arthur, for Luke had suspicious where the money had come from.

 And Luke was taken away.
 By the aid of the police station messenger, Luke got word of his plight to Quabba and asked that Esther be brought to see him.
 Qnabha appraised Esther by tele- phone She had just received a tele- gram from the conyaieseiug Hagar ask. ing her to return to Richmond and Esther had just wired in reply that she would come. suardedly adding that tr thur seemed to be under evil influences here and that she was discouraged re earding him.
 Al the station house Esther briefly explained that Luke had been q sery- ant of her mother in NirGinia for years and that she knew him 70 be honest. Quahba waited for Esther More strange company thought the sergeant. But Esther spoke of Tom Blake the famous Richmond detective, and the sergeant absolved her from suspicion, especially when she winsomely smiled and admitted she was of gypsy blood.

New Bill at Madison In
cludes Women Under Eu-
genics Certificates.
LONGER TIME FOR The TESTS

Certificates of health from women as
well as pen who desire 10 marry with
in the scaJe Il NlsooA1fa will be i
quired if the bill that has been pre-
pared by the State Medical Society for
introduction into the legislature, be-
comes law.
The measure is inteded to provide a
substitute for the present eugenic law.
1t was prepared by committee repre-
senting the state medical body and con-
tains provisions not found in the pres
ent law, but which are considered for
the perfect enforcement of health re-
strictions in marriage
In submitting the proposed bill the
committee on public policy and legis-
lation of the State Medical society, of
which DIR. j. p. Mcmahon of Milwaukee
is chairman, presents report which de-
clares the present act is anomalous
and inconsistent in different particu-
lars. 1t points out that the examina-
ton required by the present law actu-
ally costs $25, while the law fixes the
maximum fee for the same at So. It
adds that the law, which has been in
force the last two years, has been of
great educational value, and thus has
performed a far-reaching service. The
bill submitted by the committee is in
tended, it is asserted, to permit an add
ed effort to protect and improve the
H. L
provides that all persons contemplating
marriage shall, within fifteen days prior
to applying for license to marry, be
examined, and that it shall be unlawful
for the county clerk Of any county to
issue license to any person who fails
to present and file a certificate duly
signed by a reputable licensed physi-
clan, setting forth that such person is
free from diseases, so nearly as can be
determined by the application of the
usual tests and methods of examination.
The fee for such examination to be paid
by the applicant at the time the exami-
nation is made shall not exceed S.. The
county physician Of any county shall,
upon request made by the applicant,
make the necessary examination and
issue such certificate, if the same can be
properly issued, without charge to the
applicant if said applicant be INDECENT.
Whenever, in the opinion of the ex-
aiming physician, it is not possible by
ordinary methods TO exclude with suf-
ficient certainty the existence of syph-
Ills, he may refuse to issue certificate
until the applicant has submitted to the
higher laboratory tests and such tests
have proved negative. Such higher
tests may be made by any properly
qualified laboratory specialist or by the
state laboratory of hygiene.
