CHAPTER TV. In Strange Plight. Y this time day was breaking. I staggered, still weak B and shaken, into Brace’s room to acquaint him with my logs. He took it calmly, as one often takes the first news of g great misfortune. i “Where's Israel?" was his first query. “Van Hoeck has just gone out for his regular early morn- ing walk,” I reportell, on investigating. “I'm goin’ to look him up,” sald Brace tersely. ‘The thought of the helpless blind man in the clutches of a giant like Brace aroused my pity. “What makes you suspect him?” I asked. “1 don’t say I suspect him. But a man thet Nes premont- tions a diamond {s goin’ to be stole must likewise hev pre- monitions as to where it {s now. Thet stands to reason. If he ain't willin’ to tell me, why, I'll hev fo do a little mild persuadin’. So long!" and he was off. The more I thought of what violence the incensed Brace migtt offer, the more troubled I became for Van Hoeck. At length I determined to go out and look them up, The wun had risen before I heard their voices in a country Jane some distande from the house. I threaded my way be- tween fhe trees upon the slope of a hill until I emerged from the wood upon the high bank that edged the Abbey road at that part. Looking up the road, I saw the finger-post at the looking down, I saw that which took’my breath @way with amazement—Brace was trudging along the road toward the Abbey, with Van Hoeck holding his arm on one side and Lola his hand upon the other—an !n-othprehenstble ploture of unity, friendly assistance and reliance, When I cautiously raised my head and looked again Brace, still standing opposite the bridle way, was drawing his arm out of the sandy bank that there skirted the road. I ducked my hend, as once more he pecred to the right and left. They were gone, all three, when I looked again, When I thought tt safe to venture I went to the spot whe Brace had stood. There was a rabbit-hole in the sandy cut- ting, partly hidden by the training growth’ from the over+ hanging edge. I took off my cont, turned back my sleeve, thrast in my arm and drew out—the leather case In which the @iamond had been taken from my wrist! It was empty. Up to this time I had implicitly trusted my partn Now « I saw they kad been in a plot to rob me of my share of the Great Hesper, and, !f necessary, to murder me. Brave had undoubtedly been my asezallant of the previous night. When I returned to the house thoy were already there. I waid nothing to them concerning what I had seen. As there was no further rez:on why we should remain at Monker Abbey, now that the diamond was gone, Bruce and Van Hoeck prepared to depart. Sir Edmund agreed with me that we had not evidence enough to hold them, and that they must be allowed to go. Brace held out his hand to me in farewell. I refused to take It. We had always been close friends, the Judge and I, and my action seemed to hurt pim. “Bay good-by to us, pardner," he pleaded. I folded! my arms and shook my head. He dropped hia hand by his side. Lola was standing {na corner of the room by the dpor with her eyes fixed upon me. As Brace was about to pass through ‘on his way out he caught her wrist savagely in his hand. Ag savagely she tore 1t away, and ip her turn came and stood *defore me. “You ain't goin’ to let me go like him, are yer?" she asked, “You ain't goin’ to let ME go without sayin’ good-by?”" ‘There was deep pathos in her votce. ‘The friendless little savage loved me. She had saved my Ife, My heart smote mo for forgetting thot. I gave her my two hahds; she drew ea them round her slight body and then, flinging her arms * nbout my neck, she whispered with tender impulsiveness: “Shall I be good? Shall I tell you where the diamond Is a @ woman's dress and, catching sight of Edith, who was en- tering from the dining-room, she started back. Scowling over her shoulder at Edith, her eyes aflame with hate, she sald in a voice from which ali tenderness had flown: “For her sake? No!" And without looking again at me she went fram the rqom and Joined her ‘father, { Cine is mene, ie ace eee ee) 98 ire My engagement with Edith’ was broken off thht evening.

Hjs mumicidus bave perhaps fallen upon us. The poor wretch may have lost his reason, His appearance whea I caught sight of him the other day justifies the suspicion. Arrived at Sacramento I hunted up Brace and the Kid. 1 was shocked to see the change a few months had wrought In Lola. She was much taller, pitiably thin and wan ahd had a bad cough. I feared she was not long for this world. The poor child was overjoyed to see me. She threw her arms about my neck, sobbing with mingled happiness and remorse, and told me all. It seemed Brace had a mine deep In a Elerra Nevvada canyon, which had reverted to him from the father of his late Mexican wife. Thither he had gone on his return from England to recoup his fortunes. But mining was, as he ex- pressed St, “played out In them diggings,” and he had de- sisted. While there, though, Lola now told me she had hid- den the diamond in a “cache” deep down in the mine at a point that could only be reached by crossing a dangerous rope bridge. She alone knew the spot, and, all Jealousy for Edith being swallowed up in remorse, thither she volunteered to lead us. The canyon would be at present blocked by winter snows, It would be two months before we could hope to explore it. In the mean time we repaired to my ranch, where I made Brace my foreman. First, however, Brace told me what he knew of the dia- mond. I will give here his account of what occurred in the woods and as near as I can in his own words: “When we parted company tn the woods,” he sald, “I hunt- ed around for Israel, as was my intention, you will remem- ber. I found him crawlin’ like @ varmint of a reptile through the ferns. I fetched him into.@ convenient spot and says J ‘Ieracl,’ I ses, ‘you air goin’ to prophesy what has gone of the Great Hesper. It's not a hard job, if'you give yer mind to it. Tain't nothin’ near sq hard as prophesying what's goin’ to be.’ “I had hold on bim by the arm. All of a suddent, he flilngs himself round, grapples on to me, and ‘fore I'm aware of anythin’ I'm on my back and his two thumbs fs inter my wind pipe. I Never thought he'd got i inter him—duch strength and agility—and I'll allow he would baye strangled me hef the ICH ‘hayti't come up in the nick end tightened him by singlig out™for you, I did not lose any time...apd when I had shown I’was as sttoné as him, with a little bit to spare, I got him to prophesy.

I cocked my eye around end:gnce more I ketched sight of the Kid sneakin’ off. I went for her nat'rally, but I might jest as well have went for a tom-tit..She got clean outer sight about the same time's I got outer.wind. But Israel wouldn't give up, and we hunted about for the Kid till we couldn't neither of us hunt any more; then we sat.down in committee, and arter pretty warm discussion we came to the unanimous gonclus{on that,. for the sake of every one concerned, we had better get rid of the leather case and aay nothin’ about it. I-jaid it down that-the:Hid had not taken the diamond for pure mischief. She knew, in her own greaser way, that the thing hada power ‘dn it to bring hap- piness to the owner—like a charm. She see ‘that it clothed us decent end lodgad us comfartable, and that while It sepa rated you and her, {t brought you and squire's daughter together. And we Iafd it down mutual that the Kid had too much gumtion to pitch the thing away, but would hide It somewhere where she could fetch It bimeby. Now, hef we'd done otherways what would have happehed? Van Hoeck ud have declared {t wag all a lle, and wild horses wouldn’ter dragged the secret outer the Kid, The only hope of gettin’ back the Hesper was ter let her play her game and watch her close."* A copy of this statement I sent to Sir Edmund, and U added: “Either Van Hoeck 1s possessed of supernatural c'alrvoy- ance, or he must have been in complicity with the man who took the diamond from me. “Can that man have been the ‘Furntyal’ whe obtained the address of Brace and myself from you?” By the return mail Sir Edmund wrote: I felt Mt right to read that fart of your letter referring to the robbery to Van Hoeck, who for the last few woeks has deen gp accepted visitor here, and, I may @dd, the object of Edith's aympathetlc com- miseration, He declared upon hir orn chat there had been no struggle between himself and Brace, and that no ptatement had been extoried from htm by tho violent megns indicated; that when you left he felt his way to (he road and walted there Brace came bad undertook to lead him home. He remembers stopping on thr way while Brace asked him if he thought you had really been rothed of the diamond, He kaw nothirg of the leather case, which, Brace might have concealed in the manner you deséribe withowt his perception. After this explanation he sald that he must once more relinquish our friendehip unt! all doubt in cleared up. ‘‘But,!" he added emphatically, as be was about to Mave un, “if only a part of this story 1s true—it the girl fot possession of the Glamond, hid It, and should restore it t7 Brace and Thorne, they will meke away with It anf you Will never see any one of them again.” , “I¢ Van Hoeck is not the very old ‘un hisself,” said the Judge, when I showed«him this letter, ‘he's hand in, hand with him." * - We asked Lola if she had recognized the man who dropped from the’arlel window. “No, she replied, “the night was too thick; but he was about the size of the man I-saw the night before going from one window to the other In the ieft hand side of the house, walking along the narrow. stone ledge,’ reat One morning Brace gald to me; ve had my susptclons on tt sure on {t.
