V The Diamond From the Sky By ROY L. McCARDELL Copyright, 1915, by Roy L. McCartfefl ! (Continued from page 3.) In the library an hour later Dr. Lee stood over the shattered colonel. "Listen to the truth." said the doctor. "It is idle for you to rave. I have told you, you have aneurism of the heart, and another atta- k like this may be your death. You cannot hope to live to marry a wife who may yet bear you a sou." "l win never marry u-a.ui. *jnru Colonel Stanley in angu? it. "I have loved but one woman, could love but one woman, and she is dead! Itut, by heavens. I will cheat Lamar Stanley and all his brood! I have So.000 in yonder safe. 1 will buy the luaie ebilu bom to the gypsy woman. 1 will hide away Di.v own fiesh and l#><>d. my little daughter, and have her reared ten-1 derly. yet in secret. And the gypsy's brat at my death shall be the Earl of Stanley In England and possess the diamond from the sky. That will be fine for Lamar Stanley and bis vermin offspring!" And he laughed and shook his hands in bitter rage "I mean it, and you must help me.' You hate Lamar Stanley, for he ruined T HA*V K n tao him (Ta I hall a bereft and frenzied mother tore herself loose from her bonds. Like a tigress, she threw herself upon her husband and demanded her child. When he told her of the bargain and abowed her the money that came from It 6be cursed him and the gold and, eizing a Jagged burning billet from the fire, she struck Matt Harding down and, leaving him prone on the ground, she rushed to Stanley hall to regain her firstborn. The gypsy roused himself from the tunning blow and hastened after her ere she could spoil all his greedy mm: - hkBs?^ . $* A f'v^/^iBpB^Bi^MPi^i Matt Harding, the Gypsy. schemes. The great door of Stanley hall stood ajar. For a moment Hagar swayed faintly at the portal. Then she staggered in and down the spadons hall to the door of the library, gfftded by the sound of men's voices and the cries of a child?her child! j Her hands seized the knob and softly ! and silently she threw open the door j just as her gypsy husband seized her ! from behind. * i * ?' ?$' ' <- A "VV j VIA.

In the plow of his campfire Matt Harding gazed greedily at the wealth beyond his wildest dreams that Colonel Stanley had roused him from his fitful slumber to pour into his lap. Hagar, roused from her fevered dreams, felt her babe being lifted from her bosom. The rural gypsy husband and father seized her by the throat as she feebly struggled. He gagged and bound her hastily as he might and emerged panting from the tent, carrying the swaddled babe which he handed to the colonel and the doctor. "Does my wife object?" he asked to the doctor's question. "Say, governors, she would sell every child she expects to have for half the money. We'll be twenty miles away by sunrise and fifty miles more by another day. We'll be gypsy kings nud queens and you'll never hear of us again!" Back at Stanley hall the doctor and * the colonel entered secretly by the library window and bore the babe upstairs to the waiting nurse. Reluctantly and yet resolved like all the rest, the faithful colored nurse arrayed the gypsy child in fine linen and hung iihnnt iha ?ipck "Hip diamond from thp sky," while the little daughter, born to Stanley hall, whimpered beside its fair dead mother. m In answer to the summons to Stanley ball came Judge Stanley, the kinsman enemy and the English barrister. It was a strange group that gathered In the colonel's library, the English barrister, the .-rim. bitterly disappointed Judge, silently facing Dr. Lee and Colonel Stanley. A pull at the bell rope and the weeping colored nurse entered the library bearing the black haired, dark eyed babe, a male child in Stanley hall, presumptive heir to au English earldom, and blazing on its breast was the diamond from the sky. Over the gypsy campfire within the sound of a human call from Stanley ,?J foi over 50 years, |Qj Cardui has been helping (?)l to relieve women's un- I? ^ necessary pains and building weak women up to health and strength. y* It will do the same for (?) | you, if given a fair trial, So, don't wait, but begin * /s\i taking Cardui today, for [@ wy its use cannot harm you, wzt and should surely do you ?j good. E-72 K| The backs of Jhe judge, the English lawyer, the doctor and the nurse were to the door, but Colonel Stanley stood behind the library table facing the door. "Yes," he was saying, "there is the newborn baby, a son, do you hear, a on!" And then his eyes opened wide with horror, for there, struggling at the open door, were the gypsy woman and her husband. The man's hand was over the woman's mouth, and with every effort he sought to strangle her to silence and closed the door. Colonel Stanley clutched at his heart and fell senseless forward across the library table! (TO BE CONTINUED.) A Clogged System Needs Attention. Are you bilious, dizzy and listless?
