Blake pleaded with. Arthur to halt Blair In the hour of his supposed tri umph, but Esther and Arthur refused. "Let Bluir have the Powell millions: let him have Stanley Hall; let him have 'he earldom In England and the dia mond from the sky," said Arthur. "We have more than all these things, for In casting tbem aside we have found love and happiness!'*. "Your mother, Hugar -Harding, was my best friend. She gave me my start In life," said Blake huskily. ''I will abide by your wish. Abe Bloom sus pects much, but knows little regarding Blair Stanley. "BJooin dare not move unless I say so and 1 can hold him quiet. Even near Fairfax you will never be recognized in the. gypsy. Arthur Harding, by the people who knew you as Arthur Stan ley. * ; "The few short years have changed you," but it is different with Miss Es ther Stanley here. "Who could not tell "her? You cannot keep the secret on this account, 1 know." "?!lis is a sheltered place which only the gypsies know the way to. only the gypsies, with the exception of your self," replied Arthur. "Yon know the nay because my mother taught yon, and you know the Romany password that admits yoii past the outer vans. ?"Thls is the old rendezvous of my mother. The gypsies own the very land. We will not.be here long ? orily for our wedding, which will be a gypsy one. . Xone but a Romany can be at the wedding ? Hone but you. for you were adopted Into the tribe as a boy. T am told." ' "Yes. I was picked up by your ihoth* er a stowed and wretched lad. a run away from a miserable almshouse in the middle west." replied Blake softly. "I was adopted Into Hngar's tribe, fed. clothed and educated by your mother. "But I ianriot tome to the wedding. . I think you are wrong, and I could not hear to see the mistress of Stanley hall wedded as a gyps.v when she should be wedded as her mother was? the way her people have been. "Yon will pardon roe for spooking from my heart?" Esther smiled. "You are too serious. Mr. Blake." she said. "I * is .the only way X would be wed. You may be an adopted gypsy, and Arthur mtfy be a born one, but of us three I am the real Romany, and I will have the wed 4Ing of a gypsy queen and none other!" But in the privacy of his sanctum in his Richmond ag?ncy the next day Blake smiled to himself as he said: "Blair Stanl^, you destroyed one set of proofs when you stjuck down Hu gar and wrested them from her. Ar thur destroyed the set I took to him, but Tom Blake had the originals!" Then he sighed and gnjjed at a por-J trait of Hagar that hung upon the wall of his sanctum. The picture was Inscribed from Hagar to Blnke. The tyes of the portrait seemed living ones In the earnest gaze of the detective. "You lire dead," he said, ;'but yodr spirit lives, I khow. Whatever was the wish of your steadfast heart that thing shall be accomplished, and per haps I yet shall be the Instrument of It!" He spoke prophetically. In far away Londop the sincerely faithful lawyer Smythe writhed to secret protest at the title- having come to Blair and Vivian while the two dine and make ?merry In Loodon's falcons restaurants. Smythe had seen Blair take his seat in the house of lords, and no word came from Blake, although he had ca bled the Richmond detective to send proofs or wair'a guilt and secure a requisition. Blake now went to this, latter task. But Influential as be was, he found the Virginia jurists were averse to moving In the matter. After long de lay he secured with all the secrecy possible a warrant for Blair and a requisition to return him to Amerlen. and this be sent to Smythe. Meanwhile in the fastness of the Blue Kldge there is a royal wedding, the nuptials, of royalty in Romany. King Arthur marries Queen Esther, and gypfiew from all over the land have gathered for the event. There 1* a mliypole, and there Is music,7 and there are garland. The vnnu ar^ garlanded; the little children threw flowers and the elder 1 gypsies bear branches of blosaoqp to i form a flower archway for tbe royal I young couple. Tbe goats and borst* are garlanded. Quabba wears a gar land and a big bridal favor and lead* the gypsy music ians, who play all the while the merry Romany wedding strains. ? Clarence, the monkey, has a wedding favor and wears a garland and is made to beat the "tflnugle. though, in sooth. Clarence is cynically indifferent, being a bachelor by instinct. And so tbe maypole ribbons are twtned, and so tbe wedding dance gtf^g on. and so at sunset tbe royal pair. King Arthur and Queen Esther, jump over the gypsy broomstick held by Quabba? and ro they are married. But because Esther is a Stanley of the blood a minister is brought from Richmond to marry tbem in the con ventional manner also. And the min ister comes and goes and wonders. Then the happy, dancing gypsies light them to tbe royal van with flam beaux and return to dance and drink and sing beneath tbe moonlight by ,tbe maypole. But the royal pair steal away unseen and clamber up the sheer hillside, and from a great rock pinnacle they sit embraced and watch the moon, like a shield of silver on the wall of heaven, hang over the dim vale below. On such a night the dapper Count de Vaux. once "knave of clubs of the dia mond pack." sits in his bachelor cham bers in London and reads again, the coronation story that tells that on the morrow George V. and Queen Mary shall be crowned with pomp in West minster Abbey. He reads that Blair, earl of Stanley, and his countess, who was Vivian Marston, will be among the privileged ?high born present The American earl, so says the Lon don newspaper, will wear the famous Virginia Jewel, the diamond from the sky. which, according to family tradi tion. was found in a fallen meteor by a colonial ancestor. "Tbe Earl and Counted of Stanley are residing in London at Stanley House. Jlayfalr." concludes the article. And the dapper De Vaux lajs aside the paper and goes out. He takes a ! cab and rides to the neighborhood of Stanley House. Mayfair. It fronts Regent's park and is a detached old tdiflce of Tudor architecture.

Smythe descends to the portals of Stanley house. Called to my lady's boudoir as he passes in the corridor, the lackey in forms the questioning lord of the reg istered mall package for Smythe. Fearful of some bitter disappoint ment, fearful of his criminal past in America, Blair, carl of Stanley, leav ing the lackey to do some service for the Countess Vivian at her tiring, hur ries down in the great Gothic stairway to intercept any -ill omeped message that may have come from America to Smythe. On bis breast there gleams the dia mond from the sky that the American earl would wear into his earldom, as the ancestral finder had decreed. The flunkeys usually loitering in the hall have been drawn by curiosity to follow the family lawyer out to the mall man waiting wl{b receipt book and the registered package!
