SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS.
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

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

At Farmer Smith's, a dozen miles
