A bitter feud has existed betwesn Colo- % nel Arthur Stanley and his cousin, Judge % Lamar Stanley. The feud has been engendered In family jealousy over an heir- | loom, the diamond from the sky, that I was found in a fallen meteor by an ad- I venturer ancestor. Also, the succession | to the Stanley earldom in England may I come to an American Stanley. When 9 a daughter is born to Colonel Stanley of I the eldest branch of the Stanleys in | America and the mother of the child j dies at its birth, the chagrined colonel ? buys a newborn gypsy boy and substitutes him as heir. Three years later the .Tj gypsy mother, having had no part in this ''' bargain, steals the colonel's little daugh- i ter, being reared in secret, and leaves her . own eon undetected as the heir. The gyp- r sy mother has also obtained possession All of the diamond from the sky and a docu- re ment containing the secret of the false heir. She rears the little girl, Esther Stanley, as her own and grows to love her. When Esther is grown a beautiful w young girl, Hagar, now gypsy queen, re- th turns to Virginia with her. She has a 01 wild plan that Dr. Lee, the late Colonel Stanley's old friend, may now adopt Esther, as originally intended. Her hope also 8* is that her son, the supposed Arthur Stan- ai ley 2d, may fall in love with Esther and thus the Innocent girl may become by marriage what she is by birth?mistress of Stanley hall. Dr. Lee adopts kl Esther, but aleo demands that Hagar turn n< over to his custody the diamond from ja the sky. Dr. Lee also informs Hagar -- ?. Qr that her eon, the supposed Arthur Stan- ~~ ley 2d, is a profligate and not worthy of tfc Esther, but Hagar hopes for the best and A with her people departs. Arthur Stanley does fall in love with Esther and so does his boon companion, Blair Stanley, the "J cousin who would be the rightful male fa heir of Stanley were the Stanley secret in known. In stealing the diamond Blair u. causes the death of the doctor. Outside is Arthur, serenading Esther. Blair, es- a* caping, insultingly infers to Arthur that a he has left Ether's room. Arthur forces th him to fight a duel in which Arthur is victor and tumbles Blair into an open grave. He searches Blair and takes the w diamond from the sky. Blair is only w stunned and tries, with the aid of his a] mother, to place the blame for the murder of Dr. Lee upon Arthur. The sheriff attempts to take Arthur, but after a ai thrilling drive in a high powered motor- sa car Arthur eludes his pursuers and is ^ thrown into the river after a smashup. His body is seen floating down the river. Arthur is revived by Hagar, who reveals bi his identity and upbraids him. Needing to money, he pawns the diamond in Rich- p< mond. Blair is in Richmond, living riot- ously, and he, too, is forced to visit the pawnshop. After explanations the two P* agree to stand by each other. At a ball, tt to which Blair has invited Arthur and at ai which a supposed New York society belle . is the guest of honor, they are stunned to 01 find the diamond on the breast of the 01 New York visitor. She Is an adventuress w who has borrowed the diamond for the pj evening. Hagar attends the ball as a . . fortune teller, accompanied by Luke Lovell. While Hagar is telling the "belle's" UJ fortune the diamond is snatched from her tr breast. Luke Lovell, Hagar's gypsy guard, has stolen the diamond and to avoid detection drops it into a mail box. w At the ball a sheriff tries to arrest Ar- IP thur on the murder charge. Arthur es- i capes and leaves Richmond on a freight train. The diamond passes into a mail bag, whicji is condergnedj loqt from a wagon and picked up by Quabba, ah or??*" *Tho mnnlfov nt the latter 5iiuu??* ***v ? steals the diamond and leaves It In a bird's nest In a tree. Arthur Is robbed of his clothes by hoboes, who leave him In a tattered outfit He seeks work at a farm. CHAPTER XI. "Shadows at Sunrise." DAWN breaks upon a waking world in summer. The farmer rouses for his early tasks, the poor sluggard and the rich Idler sleep on In hard beds and soft At Stanley hall there is still a notice In bankruptcy tacked upon the battered and padlocked door. The window shutters are closed, the weeds rankle on the lawn, and already &e proqd mansion of Stanley hall seems going to ruin and decay. A carriage drives up and stops at Its portals. From It alights a gentleman of half legal, half real estate agent appearance. He assists two ladies from the carriage. One Is a woman of middle age, in rich and matronly black silk, and the other a fair young girl, modlshly attired. And yet these two, the elder woman and the younger, are gypsies, for It is Hagar Harding and Esther, her daughter. Since that exciting night at Mrs. Ran- tt dolph's ball in Richmond Hagar has N had one resolve. With her son a m fugitive and the diamond from the sky E vanished as mysteriously as it had pi come, Hagar has centered all her hopes s? and all her desires on Esther. Hagar has wealth, what need to hoard It e3 further now? So she has come to fe Fairfax, not as a gypsy woman, but as w a dowager of means, and rented the be Idle mansion from the trustee In bankruptcy. If the plan to rehabilitate ~~ ther as a Stanley has failed, ere yet was begun, through the death of Dr. e, supposedly at the hands of the gitive young master of this very insion, Hagar will lease it and see nt Esther enters upon the position life to which she belongs by right birth. Che formalities are soon over and igar has installed herself and Esther Stanley hall. So eventful have been the last few ars of her life that Esther h^ c eased wonder. In the death of Dr. Lee, ;ther realized she lost a friend, and e who had something to tell her. If f si .* ih '."' Jm^HH&i ;; 3 ^ ^mL ley Are Hagar Harding and Esther, Her Daughter. Is secret Is shared by Hagar, who ie supposes is her mother, Esther alizes It will be told her In the fullsss of time. In Richmond Vivian Marston, from hose fair bosom the diamond from ie sky had been snatched the night ' the ball, had caught no glimpse of te face of the man, of the thief and rangier. Search had not revealed it id so Luke Lovell had been released. At Farmer Smith's, a dozen miles ,vay from Stanley hall, where, unlown to him, Hagar and Esther are >w domiciled, Arthur, the fugitive, bored for his daily bread. The winime little flve-year-old daughter of ie fanner had twined herself around rthur's heart Happy and hardy and* healthy were a days. He followed the plow and iced the sun and sang. He was gaing no fortune in the world's goods, it he was happy in the clean, open r life of a farmer's helper. Only did shadow come to his face when he lought of Esther and his bitter moth , Hagar. Was Esther his sister or as she. too, a changeling? No matter hich. Arthur's love for her was deep id pure as a brother's. He would - 1- ? ?ol-n a tie a uuuie iui uiuiocu iui uci sunt, id so be faced the morning sun and mg, and so he faced the shadows of rilight and mused of ber. One day when little Nellie Smith ought him his luncheon to the field a rn scrap of newspaper that covered a )rtlon of It caught his eye. It was a ont page "scare head" of a Richmond iper that in big type hysterics told of te robbery at Mrs. Randolph's ball id the subsequent added excitement ! his flight and fight when arrested 1 a charge of murder. Then Arthur ondered again if he had done right In rotectlng Blair. An impulse seized in to go to Fairfax and give himself ) to the authorities and let the whole nth be known. But then he remembered the secret as Hagar's and that she had suffered uch. So far neither Hagar nor Ea o ^ ? Ha Followed the Plow and 8ang. ler's connection witli him -was known, o one but he and Hagar knew he was >t the heir of Stanley, for, though sther had called him brother, It was aln to Arthur that tho sweet girl had Jd the word to comfort him. Then also he realized that much In elation must be endured by him. He It that when the time came Hagar ould speak, and until then he was >und to silence.
