CHAPTER 111. The Mystery of the Cheesemaker. IN a kind of cellar, under a window, ! a man sat, bent over a peculiarly j constructed machine of small j wheels that spun with lightning rapidity Every now and then he pa us ed and scrutinized the minute object he held in his fingers At length he seemed satisfied, rose, stopped the ma i chine and shuilied over to a cupboard { Then lie sat down on a cot and began to figure in a small notebook. The re- ! suit of his mathematics evidently j pleased him. In a corner behind curtains stood a ! furnace, a crucible, with powerful bellows and chimney. It looked adapta- | ble to tremendous heat pressure. The ' machine previously referred to waT an j unfamiliar one to any but the ey( s of those who have watched similar ma- j cnines in Amsterdam unu uuueiuuw, in Holland. It was a diamond cutting and polishing machine. What the unusual crucible brought forth remained to be seen. The diamond cutter rose again and once more approached the cupboard , The Diamond Cutter and gloated over his treasure, which consisted of half a dozen perfect gems perfectly cut and polished, but small. "1 shall be rich some day." Then came sudden transition from joy to gloom, lie dared not go forth openly to sell th&se gems, for he feared that he woul 1 be looked upon us a thief. The fact that these diamonds were not registered would act against him. The least they would uo would b 10 lia'e him before riu> customs ollic;a!s ;:s a smuggler. And if lie told the truth iris wonderful discovery \u>:;iu become public property, and he would be ruined. "i aiiK'iin!iickyhe groaned, "i see I with Sf?Tim liU Vl 1 l lr?. 1 ' IU1, Ii^vu one in order to get anything. i will sound Hassam Aii." He had disposed of several geins among pawnbrokers who were known not to ask quest ions, but in these transactions he had received but a fourth of what tiie gems were worth. These things contributed to his sudden rise and fali 01" spirits. lie was also something of a madman. Presently he sniffed. There was a faint odor of curds in the air. Beyond the wall was a cheesemaker's shop, and there one could buy anything from ? Camembert to what is known as a Dutch cheese. The diamond cutter discovered that he was hungry. So he left his den, bought some cheese and rye bread and returned, soon to begin his labors again. During certain in-, tervals of silence he heard without apparent notice slight scratching sounds. : The furnace began to glow? throwing ! nrvnn Inc linnH Onfi j weiru ii^LiLs upwii uio nutv. , ic countenance. When niirht came he went again to I his treasure and gave a cry of anguish, j A gem was gone! He searched thor- , oughly, but could not find it. it could not bo possible that he had made a j mistake in the original counting. He would go and have ??is friend Hassarn , Ali look into his crystal. There were wonderful revelations made there, and, Ilassam Ali reassured him that the' gem would ho found The next day, after Zudora had gone j forth?to meet her lover. Elassam Ali Was assured?Hassam Ali retired to the mystic room. He was curious keep fo^Rng in the <>; che eryatal. llm was intensely superstitious witboutfrealizing the fact Yet again he saw/ the face, the same appeal in it. Hys heart swelled with fury and hate. } lie was beginning to hate his niece,/for we invariably hate those we have ; wronged or intend to wrong. ; Whenever he saw her slender white throajt a horrible, almost irresistible, desire laid hold of him to rake that white throat within his fingers and cmsib the life out of it. At the same j time he became vaguely atarmea lest at some time or other he should sur- j rentier to this mad desire. No. no! Ik ^ J . ' I ^^3 At: \kJ ^??

Oim side of her was all keenness and inAht, but the other side of her was as guileless as a child, and to this side he always played. He must wait, tedious as waiting might be. Gold, gold, yellow gold, the most beautiful thing in the world; millions of shining disks, all his. He suddenly shook him self. He must smother these thoughts,, this rampant desire, or he might over j stop. Misers are full of strange cun j i ning. Zudora had given tier word to say nj^iing about her great inheritance. affa her TSyalty to her word was as strong as hoops of steel. Hassam Ali was an adept at disguising himself, making himself unrecognizable. A half dozen touches of the brush, a muffler about his chin, ard eren Zudora would fail to recog nize him at first glance. He sallied forth He was eager to learn wbat Storm was doing. For the present Storm was the main obstacle in lite way. If he bccame Zudora's husband goodby to the Trainor millions, wbeth er Zudora lived or not. If Zudoru married Storm clandestinely he was /lntnrmirio/1 iinnn thMt knowledge t<: kill them both Once a week he rnadi \ inquiries at the bureau of licenses.
