the heir of Stanley.
"The death of your father that night, |
Ksther, my child, made my wicked |
deed easy to accomplish. The two old ,
colored servants that knew the secret
had been slaves of the cruel Judge
Lamar Stanley, Blair's father. You
Oiad been raised In secret here. The
;servants would not betray Colonel
Stanley while he lived, and they loyally
kept the secret till they died.
"Dr. Tec, the only other sharer of,
the secret besides the two colored serv-j
ants and myself, was a kind yet timid j
iman. lie, too, had hated Judge Stanley j
and had been led Into the colonel's
conspiracy to cheat the son of his en-j

"After my husband's death," IlagnC
went on, "1 augmented the money he
had received from Colonel Stanley by!

wealth.
"And as my profligate son wasted!

will return to mine own people, for I
am a gypsy and as such cannot remain
with Father Stanley of Stanley
Hall!"
"No, no!'* cried Esther tearfully asj
she threw her arms around the sobibing
Hngar. "You are my own dear
mother! I will never leave you nor
suffer you to leave me. What have
the Stanleys done for me?
"What would they do for me? I
ask this, and I answer It. They have
done nothing for me but ignore me as
Dr. Lee's ward and your daughter.
They could do nothing for me as Esther

to keep back his tears at this affectIn#
scene. A yellow, time stained,
frayed and bulky folded parchment
(had fallen from among the bank notes
Tlagar had drawn from the cavity finder
the hearthstone.
"This is very curious. I am much
interested in old parchments, being a 1
lawyer, you know," remarked Smythe
as he picked up the parchment. He
felt he was stuttering and talking foolishly
at random, but he wished in his
tactful way to relieve the emotional
tension that had followed Hagar's recital.
His words had the desired ef- '
feet. Hagar smiled faintly and said:
"Oh, that? That is the gypsy Hardings'
family tree. The old gypsy families,
especially the gypsies of English
stock, such as the Lees, Ilardings,
Lovells?yes. the Stanleys?have these
things. Strange, isn't JiJ The outside 1
world regards the Romany people only
as vagabond wanderers, but thqrp are 1
Romany degrees of j>roud lineage.
i
4tTho Lees and Stanleys here in Vli^lultt
would be surprised to follow
i>uck their family linos to tiud they
'e?ul bavk in the centuries to gypsy
amps 011 English downs.
"Who knows. Esther, my dear, but
that you have K.vpsy blood in your
reins, after all, even if it be ever so
little!"
"It is a curious oid document," reon
ted Lawyer Smythe, "and, as I said,
[ am interested in such things. May
I have it? 1 will keep it carefully und
return it In due time."
llagar smiled uud ?i>oke half careessly.
"Ivoep it as long as you desire,
Mr. Smythe. It may be cause to bring
rou back to return it, or for our going
0 England to fetch it back."
They all laughed at the suggestion,
md Lawyer Smythe took the document
nd prepared to make his udieus.
His bachelor reserve was shaken to
is foundation when Esther impulslvey
threw her arms arouiul lis neck and
visaed him.
"You have been a father to me," she
ried?"a dear, dear daddy!"
Lawyer Smythe was still blushing
when he drove away to take the train
I'rorn Fairfax, positively refusing to
permit the women to accompuuy him (

Quabba. "We wait for a friend." j
listening to the sound of The retreat-(

pushes out tlio barn, sawed at the low-'

lowers himself cautiously. 1
He is halfway down when he feels

fall of a brick from the old chimney
and turns. The sentry culls for the

Signora Soluri is in the doorway that
looks into the garden. (.Juubba is there,
and with him is a strange man, quite
lame, it would seem, for he leans upon
a heavy stick, a mattock bundle, it
appears,
"This Is my cousin, slgnorn," says
the pation Quabba. "He desires a
room till he gets a Job. Perhaps when
he has secured employment you will
still honor him by the hospltulity of
your establishment."
All this Quubba says in Calabriau
dialect, which the signora understands
perfectly, although she, as she wil? tell
you, is of a noble Neapolitan family.
The cousin, it would seem, is fatigued.
Quabba leaves him with the
slgnoru and Journeys with his pony
and organ cart and his monkey to the
stables, that are tjuabba's domicile as
well as theirs.

Calabrese patois.
She returns to her daughter and the
so charming Signor Lancia of the Ital- ]
inn secret service. The chlantl flows,)
caution is forgotten, the magnificent I
jewel is shown to ravish the eyes of
all.
In the next room a seemingly lame
man listens at the thin partition, biting
his tongue that he may keep from
crying out, for he hears a tipsy voicej
saying: "You may well admire it. It
is called rightly 4tlie diamond from the

EFFECTS OF THE WAR IN INDIA.
Serious injury has been worked by
the war to missions in India, through
the falling off of recruits and the neccessary
withdrawal of some of the
staff. There is, however, an ele
mont of compensation in the genera'
awakening which has taken pluc*
among the Indian Christians them
selves, who are facing the crisis wit1
a quickened sense of responsibility
and are manifesting earnest initiative.
The German missionaries havi
either been repatriated or interned
The oversight of their work has been
