AM) HERE IT CONTINUES T THREW myself into the folds of a high back chair and buried my bend in my hands. AVhnt should I do? Whnt could I do? I felt perfectly satisfied that she would never DC happy with n man like Victor Jnyne. And this feel ing on my part was not entirely selfish, because I had an ingrnined prejudice against the fellow nnd a suspicion thnt there was something wrong about bim. While I was sitting there I henrd some one come in the room nnd 1 realized that Dorn Wharton and Victor .Taync were within a few feet of me. My impulse was to jump up and leave tho room, but I hesitated nnd in that moment of hesitation wns lost. They were talking in subdued tones and nfter the first few words were spoken I wns helpless to leave the room. God knows I did not intend to be an eavesdropper, but I could not help myself. "Dora," he was saying softly, "jou have it in your power to make me bnppy by snying 'yes.' " She wns silent. "Why postpone flip mnttor nnv 1onc er?" he persisted. "If you consent now it will not only be :i joy to me, 'but it will be u great plcusurc to your uncle." When she replied it seemed to me that there was just a trace of weuriucs in her tone. "I thought," she said, "that we hnd gone nil over that this morning, Vic tor." The sound of his Christian name com ing from her lips sent u pang of regret through my heart. It seemed, in n way, to give countenance to n suit, which I felt was impertinent. "I know," he begged, "but you leave me In suspense and I can't bear it. I adore you. I don't ask jim to feel thnt way toward me. I'm sure you care for me, and thnt is all I nsk. Once wc are married 1 will devote myself heart and soul to winning your affection." I admitted to myself, grudginglv enough, thnt ho wns nu ardent wooer. I hnd not thought it wns in him. 'Tleasc, Victor," she was sajlng, "do not press me any more nt present." They walked away and I remained in my place until the subdued sound of their voices passed auaj in the dis tance. Imagine my feelings at being the involuntary hearer of tlipse con fidences It iR true thnt .lajue did not appear to make much progress with his suit, but I was fearful of the conse quences. She w,as in n dangerous frame of mind. Sorely beset on all sides nml i tier mind perplexed, she wns in the DREAMLAND ADVENTURES nv DADDY "The Magic Circle" (Peggy, Billy and their school mates, turned into monkeys by Hollo's Dream Stick, seek the Magic Circle through which lies their way home, Mrs, Great Brown Dragon coils into a circle and dares them to go through,) " The Dive for Home MIIS.

"See. the mud is just like the blackboard through which you entered Monkeyland. You will have to go back that way." "We will be drowned in the mud," objected Feggy.

T bad not the faintest iden what purpose Jncquette hnd in tnking Colonel Wlinrton to his room, but their nbsence chimed in with my feelings.

Rollo hit the surface and went out of sight. "Awl; ! Awk ! Now I'm n parrot again, and you'll never get through the Magic Circle," squawked the nugry snake-turned -into -n-aparrot. "Ow-ow-ow!

I tin ust the question from my mind. It would be siitlicicnt to meet thnt emergency when it nrose. J strolled in the direction of the house. No one wns about and I was wonder ing how I would amuse uijself until breakfast time when I noticed the morn ing paper Ijing on the porch where it hnd been thrown by the carrier. I picked it up in a cnsiinl wnj and be gan to scan the headlines carelessly. The first item of news that caught my ejes caused me to iuinp with surprise and niniizenient. Tliev said, "Star of the South Stolen." It wns u special cablegram from Rio Janeiro and it told of how thieves had entered the national museum of that city ami stolen what wns regnidrd ns the most valu able diamond in the world. The rob bery , hud occurred on the second of October, nnd I remembered quite dls tinetlv thnt the Dom Pedro had left Rio Janeiro on tlie morning of Octo ber I!, so it was quite probable that the stolen diamond was the one that hnd been brought over on thnt ship nnd hidden in tlie thirteenth trunk which hnd been so cleverly added to the bug gaire of the Spntiish ambassador. The story from tlie capital of Rrnzil wns u column in length and it gnvc nil of the detnils of the robbery so far as they were known. It told of the care that had been taken to protect the Red Diamond, how it had been kept in a glass case in a special alcove and how a watchman wns kept on gunrd at the museum (lav and night, summer and winter. It seemed that on the night in question the watchman had been chloroformed and while he wns unconscious the thieves hnd secured the kejs of the alcove and hnd opened the glnss citso which held the treasure and escaped with the fa mous diamond, leaving a cheap substi tute in its nlace. That was more than three weeks be fore. Why was the news so late? The answer wns simplv enough. It hnd been suppressed. The director of tlie museum was distracted when he ar rived the morning after the robbery and discovered tlie substitute. He knew he would be fseveiely condemned not only by the managers of 'the museum but by the people of Hraril, who looked upon the Star of the South ns one of the most treasured possessions of tlie na tion. Hnd it not been dug out of the mines of Brazil? And when it wns cut into two perfect diamonds hnd not one ot the specimens been placed in tho museum to be tlie heritage of the people forever? He felt only too truly that the loss of the stone would be regarded ns a national sen mini. Hence every effort was made to dis cover the diamond without permitting tlie fact of its loss to become public. The secret police were put on tlie cne and every nook and corner of thc re public was ransarked in tlie endeavor to recover the stone. I 'very puwn shop hnd been visited nnd every suspicious character put upon the rack. Hut all in vuiu. It was not to be found any where. TJie reports of the police were carefully scanned by the government officials nnd after much deliberation they came to the conclusion that the Star of the South had been carried to the United States of America. Then, Opportunities By GEORGE BART6N Author of "The World's Greatest Military Spies and Secret Service Agents" and then only, the story of the dls appearance of the diamond wns made known to the world. The nnrrntlye, crisply told, nnd with, every paragraph teeming with human interest, left me guspiug for breath. This niiin?lng revelation hnd to do di rectly with tho nilventurc In wlileli l was embarked V were not mistaken at the outset The Hed Diamond had come to America on the Dom 1'edro. i Hut instead of lieiiiir that nortlon of the miglnnl stone which belonged to an In dividual in Iirnzll it wns the diamond which belonged to the Hrnzlllnu Gov ernment, This ndded enormously to the Itu- . closed nnd lie was gasping for breath, pontancc of the cose.

Miss Booth, the pretty little teacher, had n wor ried line orcnsjng her smooth while forehead and there was a worried look in her soft brown eyes. As usual, the ringlender wns Chaiin cey Hurtlett.
