"Well, toell," " Hassam AH, "if you

which seemed odd to Storm. No; Zudora
admitted that na yet she had not picked
up any clue. Had she been to the pawn
shops? No. Had she shown tho photo
graph to any ono yet? She had not
shown It to a living soul. And out of tho
corner of her eyo sho noted tho look
ot surprlso which was exchanged betweon
the two. This glance, swift as It was,
gave her a clue, but ono which had no
signttlcanco so far as tho missing diamond
as concerned. She at onco determined to
any nothing nbout the burning of the
photograph or tho hat.
"You havo loat your hat?" said ono.
"The wind carried it oft Just as wo
were crossing tho bridge. Wo tried to
Hah for It, but the ourrent was too
strong."
There was no glanco between the broth
ora after this statement. Thoy knew sho
was not telling the truth I
"Lot us get away from here," whispered
Storm when he had the opportunity to do
bo unobserved.
"Why?"
"I don't qulto Ilka, the 'look of your
clients."
"Very well. Neither do I." Bhe turned
to her hosts. "Tomorrow, or the next
day at the Intest," she said, "I expect to
bring you somo nows regarding the dia
mond. A gem like that cannot totally
disappear."
"Won t you have some tea?"
"No, thanks. Good-day until tomorrow."
Storm and Zudora left the house.
"What do you propose to do?" John
asked, rather Impatiently.
"Find out what agency burnt that
photograph and ono. of my best hats,"
ruefully.
"Here comes a farmer with a hay
wagon. Let's ride Into the village."
Zudora Agreed with a laugh. John had
n singular Idea, but lie did not confide
It to Zudora, So they stopped the farmer,
and he entered Into the Joke readily
enough. City folk were always wanting
to take a Joy ride on the hay rack. No
sooner did ho start on again than domes
buret forth from the hay. And U was
a. dangerous game, the effort to put It
out. The farmer accused Storm of hav
ing dropped his cleared. As tio knew
argument would be of no avail, he gave
the old man a IS bill.
The two young people continued their
Journey on foot, very thoughtfully.
"A hundred years ago," mused John,
"I should have said that the devil was
In It"
"Maybe tho devil Is In It," replied
Zudora, enigmatically.
"Maybe he Is," thinking of her uncle.
"There's a xhaok up yonder," she said
suddenly. "Suppose we hide there for o
arrangements for a verjr Interesting program.

January 7, when the team ot No. Ill, also

a startling departure In tho matter of cos
tumes Incidental to the Initiatory work.
The Invitation Included as many ot the
members of Philadelphia Lodge as cared to
make the trip. As official visitation In a
body have not been of frequent occurrence, and
as Camden Lodge haa a home at ftts Market

likely thst the "regulars" ot Philadelphia
lodge will turn out in a body to accompany
