(Back numbers can be obt#ined at The Star office.) CHAPTER XXVHI—A BROKEN BOTTLE Mr. Warren received this news with no display of emotion and little of interest. “Come in,” he said, “‘of course I'm sorry, for I'@ rather you had the troublesome things than Golding or the black man.” “Do you mean that you'd rather they'd bring me trouble?” asked Dutton, with a light laugh. “No. I had in mind that if you've re- turned without them there would be likely less trouble for the rest of us than if you carried or were supposed to carry what would be a temptation to robbers.” “I see. Has anything been seen of Wan- ga?” “Not since he left me in the Denby lock- up. He probably got scared away by the discovery of his hiding place and the death of his comrade.” Dutton looked dubious. “Martin hasn't been doing much but hunt,” continued Mr. Warren. “He knows the woods hereabout better than anybody else. Several others have been out, too, but Martin’s worth more than the rest put together. He stops here- generally on the you going to call It?” Asked Golding. “What are way home and he says he hasn't found a trace of Wanga.” ‘Was he hunting fer Wanga?” ts Not exactly, perhaps, but I don’t believe he'd have gone out so much if it hadn't been in the hope of finding him. You see, we all felt that he was a danger to the neighborhood and ought to be captured.” “Yes, I don’t wonder.” “IL presume he's been scared away alto- gether, for the woods have been thoroughly beaten for miles around.” “H'm.” Dutton was very thoughtful, “I hed rather hoped,” he said, “that he had “ot after Golding. He's so cunning that fie must have discovered that I hadn't the diamonds with me. I certainly hoped he had followed Golding, and I'm not so sure that he hasn't.” “You seem to be afraid of him.’ “Why not? He's a human reptile! He ts the strangest mixture of intelligence and avagery I ever heard of. Golding’s craze for the diamonds was feeble compared with Wanga’s. You have seen some indication of what the effect on Golding was. Well, what are you to expect from the savage? Untiring efferts for revenge, especially as I think he cherished something of a gen- uine ‘iking for Sam Meeker.” “Well, I hope he has gone far from here. We've had tragedy enough in Granite for while.” Yes, I hope he is far away so long as he isn’t captured, but if he holds to his idea of getting revenge, I'm likely to suffer some time. Golding was in mortal terror of Wanga.” ee “Golding was? why do you say was? “T’ll tell you. As I've come to make my- self understood at last, perhaps you'd bet- ter ask Martha to come in.” Glad that Dutton was at last ready to speak, and yet apprehensive as to the out- come, Mr. Warren called his wife. When she had come in, and constrained greetings had been exchanged, Dutton said: “{ must tell you a little more about the diamonds first. You will understand later why I do so. Golding and I had been knocking about the comparatively un- known. parts of the world for years to- gether. We had mined for gold in Austra- lia, where we turned up first when the war was over, tried our hands at a coffee plan- tation in Ceylon, and we finally struck for the diamond fields of Africa. There in the course of time we fell in with Sam Meeker. “We didn't take him into partnership then. but we saw a good deal of him, and we rather liked him. We mined it with in- different success for a while, and then luck went back on us altogether. When we were just cbout on the point of giving up the struggle, to return to civilization and swing a pick if necessary, Sam told us about some diamond ground he’d heard of farther inland. He knew nothing about it personally, put a native had assured him that there were grounds to be found that, if properly worked, would yield immense returns. This native was a young fellow, who had had some education from mis- sionaries, and bad been thrown in with whites a good deal “Was it Wanga?” asked Mr. Warren. “Yes. To make it short, we concluded to look up Sam’s grounds. So we pushed in- land, and made the acquaintance of Wan- ga. He was a shrewd rascal! You'd have thought he'd been a trader all his life. He wasn’t going to show us the grounds for a string of beads—not he. The little fiend made us draw up a compact whereby he became an equal partner with us in: the undertaking. He was to do our camp work and find focd, after showing us the ground, and he was so particular and suspicious through it all that we were highly excited. It seemed certain, you know, that he wouldn't be so cautious over nothing. In fact, he showed us a couple of stones that he had feund himself, and he had the ru- dest implements to work with. Well, the compact made, Wanga tock us to the grounds. There it was on his own Suggestion that we staked off what you might call a claim, though there was no- body within a hundred miles or more to dispute our rights. But Wanga said that all found within the boundaries marked off should be regarded as common property and be sacredly reported, which we swore to. Anything found outside the lines should be the property of him who found it indi- vidually. We whites didn’t take the dis- tinction very seriously at first, for as Wanga was going to do none of the actual mining it was highly improbable that he would find anything of value that he could = as his own. And he didn’t, but I Dutton paused and passed his hand across his brow. “That was where the trouble began,” he resumed. “We struck it pretty rich al- most from the start, and it was a gay crowd we four made there, ‘I tell you. Whenever we made a find it was promptly conveyed to the camp and put on the ground. There was no thought of robbery, least of all from any of ourselves, until one morning, before we had begun work, I was strolling around outside the bounda- ries, and by the merest accident discovered the biggest diamond any one of us had ever seen, I didn’t think of it at the mo- ment as my individual property. I took it to the camp and shcwed it to the cthers. Th y were greatly excited. ‘What are you going to call it?” asked Golding. “We'll call it the President,’ said I, ‘in honor of the greatest country in the world.’ “It would make us all rich,’ said Sam, and Wanga koked on with those infernal eyes of his glistening greedily. ““Hoid on!’ said I, all of a sudden. ‘This sey is mine! I found it outside the boun- ae ‘That don’t go!’ said Sam, hotly. looked at Golding. ‘Ben,’ said I, ‘you wouldn't doubt me, would you?” “You're sure you found it outside the boundary?’ he asked. ““Of course I em,’ I answered. show you the spot.’ * ‘Well,’ he sa‘d, ‘if you say you did, then you did, and the stone is yours.” “But, you know, I could see that he doubted me. Sem wus for making more talk about it, but Golding shut him up and we went tc work. We had our usual luck that day, but the enthusiasm seemed to have gone from the gang. Sam was silent and glum, Wanga was constantly watch- ‘I can ing me ana Ben was plainly fll at ease. T could see clearly enough that we were coming to the end of our partnership. There was trouble ahead, and it seemed best to me to fetch it on before we all got so worked up that none of us could be rea- sonable. After some days had passed 1 suggested at supper. therefore, that we di- vide and break up. z ‘They accused me of treachery at that. They said that made it certain that I had found the President on common property Golding, who was our chief as much as w had one, prevented a violent quarrel, but he didn’t seem to take my side as I thought he ougitt to, and I told him so efter the “I shot Sam Meeker.” others were out of the way. He answered in such a way that I accused him of dis- believing me. We had seme pretty hot words, and I understood that he as well as Wanga and Sam, believed me a traitor. If I had ever had any idea of giving up my find as a part of the common property, I abandoned it then, determined to keep all my advantage. And I got a notion that I'd like to see America again—but I'll teil you about that when I've finished with the dia- monds. “Some nights after that they tried to rob me. It wasn’t a combined attack. Each man went at it on his own impulse, but they happened to come together. We had a terrible fight of it. I shot Sam, hurt him Fretty bad, I think, but I missed the oth- SS ieee aS = off, however, ay up the diamonds my hands on, I lit out.” herein Mrs. Warren looked up deeply distressed. You think me a thief, Martha,” said Dutton, “but you don’t understand the sii- uation. By our compact, any member who was treacherous forfeited his share of ihe common property. Every one of the three had been treacherous. All the diamonds were mine, therefore, by agreement.” “But they had worked for them, just as you had,” protested Mrs. Warren, gently. “Well, let’s not argue it. I got away. Of course, there was no hitching up between Golding and the others after that, but there was between Sam and Wanga. These two believed at first that Golding and I were in 2 scheme together to rob them. It wasn’t so, though I’m pretty certain Gold- ing meant, if ever he could find. me, to in- duce me to resume partnership with him. Perhaps he thought I'd willingly divide such a fortune after he'd mistrusted and triei to rob me. Ha! “A good deal of the rest you know. I came to America. The three others fol- lowed me. I discovered Sam’s presence in New York, and I suspected Golding’s,though I didn’t see him. So I tried to elude all by putt'ng my general stock of diamonds in a small box in a safety deposit vault, and taking the President with me, tramped to Granite. Just how they managed to kcep on my track will never be known, I sup- pose; but they did. Well, you know what happened here. “I got to New York the other day, and the first thing I did was to go to the vauit and give notice of the loss of my key. Af- ter a good deal of hocus pocus and red tape, she officials found a duplicate key. My box . was opened, and, as I feared, it was founc empty. Dutton paused to chuckle as if the mem- ory amused him greatly. - “The officials were more cut up about it than I was,” he continued, ‘though I was mad enough. Of course, Golding did it. They put a detective chap on the matter, and we all had to tel him what we knew. In a mighty short time he had worked out a theory that was undoubtedly correct. Golding had hired a box in the vaults, and had maneged to get the one next to mine. The second time he went there and the at- tendant had uncovered the kyhole to his box and left him, Goiding called after him: ‘See here, you've released the wrong box. I can’t open this.’ “The attendant turned back, surprised, of course, and Golding held up my _key—his own was in his pocket. “*Mine is the box next the one you re- leased,’ said Golding. “Flustered at what he supposed was his error, the attendant closed Golding’s box and released m’ne. Two minutes later Gold- ing wa'ked out with my diamonds. {4 “That was quite a trick,” said Mr, War- ren. Mrs. Warren was silent. She could not vmpathize with Dutton, she could not even regret that Golding had stolen his keys. ‘Well, that’s not quite the end of it.” ‘Did they try to get Golding?” asked Mr. Warren. “Indeed, they ¢id. They made a remark- ably clever hunt for him, got on his track and came very near running him down. He had turned one or two of the diamonds into cash, I guess, for he had money Mr. Warren Had Seized His Rifle. enough at command to hire a steamboat. He was booked for Europe by the French line, but-he must have discovered that the detective was aware of that, for he put out in a steamer chartered suddenly by him- self. It is supposed that it was his inten- tion to go to South America. “The deposit vault people were deter- mined to capture him if they could. He had only a slight start of them, two or three miles, I guess, when they put after him in a swift tug. There was a great race down New York harbor and out past Sandy Hook. I guess Golding had some idea that if he once got on the high seas, that is, more than three miles from shore, he would be safe, but if that was his notion he had mistaken his pursuers. They kept right on after him past Sandy Hook, and as night drew on it looked as if they might overhaul him before morning. It was nasty weather at sea and growing worse. Both steamers were stanch and there was not sea enough to seriously endanger them. So it is supposed that Golding’s boat must have struck a derelict, for about sunrise her lights went out, and the men on the pursuing boat could just distinguish her hull sinking out of sight. “One man only was rescued and he had not recovered consciousness to tell the story of the wreck when I left New York.” “Then Golding was drowned,” said Mr. Warren, awed by the tragic fate that had overtaken the diamond maniac. “Without any doubt whatever,” replied Dutton. “And all the diamonds went down with him ‘Every one that he had.” ‘But was there an exception?” “Oh, yes, the President--——” “But, Dut,” and Mr. Warren grew ex- cited, “Golding stole the President from your vest when it was hanging in the spare room closet.” Dutton chuckled. “That stone wasn’t the President, said. Mr. Warren stated amazement. ‘I understcod you to say 0," he gasped. ‘I didn’t say anything, if you remember. However, what I said or did not say doesn’t matter. I didn’t intend to tell any- body where the President was while Wan- ga was anywhere near, and—” ‘At this moment Dutton uttered a sharp ery of pain. A missile of some kind had come in through .the open window and struck him on the wrist, causing the blood to flow freely. Elsie came in white with terror. “Wanga,” she whispered; “I just saw him!" The missile, the broken end of a heavy pottle, lay at her feet and she stooped me- chanically to pick it up. Dutton strode for- ward and kicked it into a corner. “Don't dare to touch it,” he cried; “it would be your death. At Elsie’s words Mr. Warren had seized his rifle from over the fireplace and made for the door. The black man was just climbing over the knoll at the other side of the road. Mr. Warren raised his rifle, and as he pulled the trigger Mrs. Warren laid her hand on his arm. “Husband,” she exclaimed, “leave him to the law.” The report of the weapon alarmed Will Spencer, who was a little way up the road coming toward the house. He broke into a run and arrived just as Dutton had taken a carving knife from the dining table in his left hand and was making a desperate effort to amputate his right arm above the wrist. .
