had one share only. The remaining SIX
were distributed among four local men,
one of whom held three and the others
a single share apiece
Banking upon their ownership of the
claim, the syndicate had 0bligingy re-
lieved the purser of large amount OF
trouble. They had been incredibly
active since the discovery of the big
diamond. Machinery had been or
dered, the local brick field was turning
out bricks for them, and dozen trans
port wagons were already on their way
from Taungs, loaded with timber.
Agents were at work in the native ter
ritories securing gangs of laborers.
Winton appointed Ned Burns general
very grateful for the position, which
was better than any lie had held in his
life, and he was of the greatest aid
to Winton in posting him as to the de-
tails of the work. He cautioned him
against Judge Davis friendliness as
much as De Wits enmity. Neither
man would forego his hopes Of obtain
ing the claim on behalf of the syndi-
cate, he said.
Native labor was the chief problem,
the pick of the tribesmen being drawn
off to the Kimberley fields and the
Johannesburg gold mines. However,
the syndicate had agents securing
Bechuanaland and the contracts held
good The compound was being con-
structed rapidly, not on the claim it.
self. which was too small and much too
valuable, but on about three acres Of
land which had been acquired just be-
yond the diamond-bearing tract.
Here the natives would be housed.
On either side were the compounds OF
the larger claims, fanking the diamond
clay as far as the eye could see, an
endless line ef brick cottages and ma
tive stores, fsuced in with barbed wire,
a desolatiOA of refuse, tin cans, dust,
and sand.
Just outside the compound Winton
was having a cottage for the COM
pound manager constructed, entailing
no great labor in country where plas-
tered interiors and heating are un-

necessary and almost unknown. He
pictured Daddy Seaton there-and
Sheila. But Winton did not let his
mind dwell on these dreams overmuch,
for he was of a practical nature, and
the work in hand engroSsed him.
Every moment of his day was oc-
cupied.
He was building small brick struc-
ture for himself also. 1t was near the
shack in which Burns lived, and was to
serve for living quarters and for an
office The diamond, which had been
restored by the police, with many
apologies for the misunderstanding
though Winton knew the police had
been quite aware of his identity and
privy to De Wits scheme-now rested
in a safe inside.
This might have appeared rash to
the uninitiated, but, while there was
good deal of buying of stones con-
veyed illicitly out of the compounds,
there had never been the theft of a
recorded stone, except for the pseudo
theft from the bank. Public opinion
rendered such an act almost impos-
sible. Diamonds were the one COM
modify that were safe from robbers in
MalopO.
The machinery arrived as soon as
the building was finished. Then fol-
lowed a week Of the hardest kind of
work, at the end of which Winton had
a clear idea Of the process Of diamond
mining. All operations at Malopo were
of crude and primitive kind, even his
own, since the grounds had not yet
proved themselves sufficiently to justify
the introduction Of expensive ap-
paratus.
In substance, the clay was simply
dug up and sent to the surface In
buckets. hoisted by whims, or vertical
winches, consisting each of a drum
rotating On a shaft on which the hoist
ing rope wound. The material was
then carried in large barrOWs to the
distributing grounds where, after some
disintegration had been effected by ex-
posure to sun and air, it was crushed
and fed into the washing troughs, in
which the stones and heavy minerals
were separated from the lighter de-
posits by revolving toothed arms. The
refuse was then picked over by the ma
tives in the compounds.
Winton entered into a contract with
a local concern that controlled the
water supply by means of shafts sunk
into the river bed two or three miles
outside the town. This was the most
important feature of the working OF
the claim. Without water he would
be unable to begin operations or to
continue them.
At last stopping to take breath, Win
ION found thar nothing was needed for
ne beginning OF the mining work ex
cept the arrival Of the natives. Three

CHAPTER VI
Judge Davis Shows His Hand.

Winton's proposal of marriage had
been in nowise an act inspired by the
sense of having placed the girl in a
false position. He loved Sheila. When
he was away from her he realized the
folly of his precipitancy; he knew
nothing Of her, and his sense Of pru-
dence reproa ched him. But in her pres
ence he felt that without her existence
would be hardly endurable.
He loved her, present or absent !;
only, absent, the conventions Of his up
bringing fenced in his mood and bade
him wait. He resolved to wait, and he
was confident that he could win her.
AS soon as work began on the Big
Malopo he meant to give her father the
position of compound manager and to
establish them near him. Meanwhile
he moved from the Continental to an
other hotel of the same type, on the
opposite side of the market square,
where he slept and took his breakfast
and supper. The rest of the day he
spent on the claim.
On the day following the meeting in
the chamber of commerce Judge
Davis formally acknowledged Winton 5
claims WintOn'S first act was to dis
charge De Witt and to appoint himself
purser He was thus in complete con-
troll of the Big Malopo.
Looking through the cost book In
Judge Davis Office, he found that OF

Sheila, awaiting to learn the news
eager for his success; Sheila, who had
risked everything for him.
Winton went back as fast as he
could walk toward the wretched house
in the outskirts. He felt sick and
weak now that the reaction had come
upon him, but his heart was uplifted at
the thought Of Sheila her faith, her
loyalty, and her bitter fight. 1t was
perhaps inevitable that men like Van
Beer should misunderstood her. He
felt no rancor on account of this; but
he meant to take the girl out Of her
life establish her with her father in q
house on the claim, where the old man
should find the employment that had
been promised him by De Witt.
Sheila opened the door instantly
when he tapped; she scanned his face
eagerly.
I've won," said Winton, and he saw
the color fade out of her face. She
leaned against the frame Of the door,
looking down.
Winton glanced out across the
desert. The clean air seemed to rush
through him, bringing vitality and
strength and resolution. Far away he
saw the blue mountains toward which
Sheila and he had travelled out Of the
squalor of Taungs. They seemed now
to be a symbol At that moment the
girl appeared to him like wild bird,
caught in the thin wires Of a hundred
conventions: her fathers need Of her,
her utter dependence upon that society
which outraged her pride and trod her
heart under its feet, and yet held her in
secure servitude. He knew the long
ing for freedom in her heart; he knew,
too, that physical bondage had never
quenched the freedom of her spirit.
He turned toward her. and she
looked up and came quickly toward
him and put her hands in his Of her ac-
cord.
81 have been ungrateful to you," she
said. II want to speak plainly now.
Last night when l asked you not to see
me again it was because of many things
which made it seem right that you
should not: my father, and your pity,
which l could not bear. And you are
gentleman, and II am not well edu-
Gated, and" She was breaking down,
but she struggled on bravely. "But
now you know why we must be stran-
gers forever, after what has happened
here and what people would say if they
knew"
NO." answered Winton II do not
know"
He drew her toward him. The sun
light lay like molten gold about them.
81 love you, Sheila, and l want you
to be my wife"
She recoiled as If his words stupe-
fed her. Then she began laughing
Historically.
you are very generous and very
kind" she said. II understand your
goodness. You are sorry for me from
the depths of your heart, and you think
you owe me reparation. No! That is
final. Never! Never"
She turned, as with an effort, and
ran into the house. Winton stood look
ing after her until the door of the
inner room was closed He knew that
only love could heal her spirit; was it
not love that had woven the threads
which had so strangely bound them
since that morning when they looked
at each other before the coach Office in
! Taungs?
AS he stood there, undecided, there
came across the court the hiccuped
chant of popular song. Winton looked
round. Daddy Seaton was coming
! stumbling home.
The Winslow mail., 1924-02-29

IhatS all right, my boy, ne an
swered. 1T was along about mid
night when l got the message that
you'd be in danger this morning at the
meeting. So | opened the Book, and,
sure enough, there it was written down
In black and white about Eglon, King
Of Moab, being stabbed in his summer
house. So saw you were Eglon, and
this was the summer house, and you
can bet / didn't sleep too much last
night from worrying over it,"
The crowd, which had increased until
It filed the room and the greater part
Of the passage showed in unmistak-
able ways where it's sympathies lay. 1t
surrounded Winton, patting him on the
back and throwing out promiscuous in
vitationS to drink De Witt made for
the passage. Judge Davis went up to
Winton.
This has been very unfortunate
misunderstanding, Mr.. Garrett" he
Quavered II wish to tender you my
fraternal regrets for the mistake due
to the unceremonious manner of your
appearance in the board room. l trust
you will not feel any prejudice against
the Diamond Fields Syndicate on ac
count OF 1t. We aim at the harmonious
development of all local interests for
the common good 1t is my ambition
and the ambition of our fellow citizens
assembled here. to make Malopo a
center of fraternity and brotherhood,
and to enlist your aid in fighting for
peace, purity, and temperance"
Three cheers for Judge Davis
Hats off to the judge!" shouted the
crowd
Amid ironical applause, which
seemed In nowise to disturb or discon-
cert him, and had it's visible effect
only in the frightened lip and in an in
creasing righteousness which he seemed
to dfffuse, Judge Davis followed De
Witt. WintOn turned to Ned.
''I'n never forget" he said, land you
can count on job with me as long as
you want one"
Gripping the old mans hand again,
he tried to make his way through the
crowd. But by this time the enthus-
iasm had passed all restraint. He
found himself seized and hoisted upon
the shoulders of two men. Struggling
ineffectively, he was carried down the
stairs and into the bar of the nearest
hotel, where he was deposited upon
the counter. Somebody had ordered
champagne, and in trice the corkS
were popping and all were drinking
Winton's health.
You've done a good days work for
Malopo in keeping the independent
mines out of the clutches of the syndi-
cate" said Van Beer, who had followed
in the wake of the crowd. Take care
that Davis doesn't get the Big Ma
lopo away from you. We heard he'd
been cursing himself for having un-
loaded on bunch of asses in America
but that you should turn up at the
nick of time, certificate and all-it'>
like a play, sir. Here's health to you!'
And he drained his glass.
Presently Winton managed to sliI
away from his admirers and escape
into the street And the insisten1
thought of Sheila pressed upon him

SYNOPSIS

CHAPTER I.-Winton Garrett, twen-
ty-hve and just out Of college, calls by
appointment on Archie Garrett, his New
his inheritance of 100000 Archie,
honest, an easy mark and a fool for
luck, assures Winton that he is prac-
tically millionaire, as he has invested
all but $4,000 in rubber plantation
In either the East or West Indies and
In a controlling interest in the Big
Ma1opo diamond mine, somewhere or
other in South Africa, sold him as
special favor by a Dutch promoter
named De Witt.
CHAPTER II-Winton. EN- route to
his mine, finds the town OF Taungs
wildly excited over big strike at
Malopo, including the 95- carat DE Witt
diamond" Two coach passengers are
q disreputable old prospector, Daddy
seaton, and his daughter sheila. On
the journey passenger, who turns out
to be De witt himself, insults sheila.
Winton fights De Witt and knocks him
cut. Sheila tells him to turn back. She
says that her father is a broken Eng
lish army officer, who has killed a man
and is therefore in De Wits power,
backed by Judge Davis. president OF
the diamond syndicate and also the
resident magistrate and judge OF the
native protectorate.
CHAPTER III.-Winton finds Malope
in @ turmoil, both over the strike and
the theft of the De Witt diamond. Win
ton foolish1y discloses his identity to
Sam Simpson, Jamaican negro, sub
editor of the local newspaper. He more
wisely confides In Ned Burns, watch
man at the Big Malopo, who tells him
that the syndicate has planned to take
control of the mine the next morning.
CHAPTER IV.-Winton fnds that
Gheila Is cashier at the restaurant. He
offers his friendship. She rebufs him.
Van Worst. a notorious diamond thief,
ono Of De Wits men, slips the stolen
De Witt diamond into Wintons pocket
and two policemen club Winton and
arrest him. He escapes them and
when at his last gasp Sheila takes him
into her house, bathes his wounds and
saves him from his pursuers.
CHAPTER V.-The next morning
Sheila offers Winton help in escaping
from Malopo. He convinces her with
difficulty that he did not steal the De
Witt diamond and that he is president
Of the Big Malopo company. Bruised
and blood-stained he runs across town,
breaks by force into the company meet
ing and aided by popular demonstra-
ton proves his identity blocks the re-
organization and takes control He
asks Sheila to marry him. She laughs
Historically and refuses him.
