A few days later a terrific thunderstorm
brows over London. At the height of tlio

a West fend -mansion. Philip, who has
become a newsboy, rescuer a girl from

meteor flashes by tho wtndpw and
crashes Into the flagstones In the yard.
Tho boy takes this as a sign from Heaven
not to kill himself, Ho then goes to tho

up several .curious looking bits of the
meteor and. shows them to O'Brien. The

Vilson sends him to a diamond dealer
named Isaacsteln. Philip is hungry, but
has no money, and on his way to tho
dealer's thinks how hard It is that he,
with all these diamonds in his pooket,
cannot oven buy a meait. Ho goes into
a restaurant and asks tho proprietor to
trust him for uuncal. Tho rran refuses,
but Mr. Judd, a grocer, offers to pay
the bill. Philip cats his fill and prom

Isaacsteln's qffce ho is forced to assault'
tho office bpy in order to gain entrance.
Ho tells the dealer, Mr. Wilson sent him
there.

Ah, I see. Sit down, there" Indicating
a chair near the door. The diamond mer-
chant himself sat at his desk, but they
wero both In full view of each other.
"Where did ypu get. It?" he asked.
. "I found it.'".
"Quite so. But where?"
"At this moment 1 do not wish to go
into details, but It Is mine, mine only,
and I am. quite' willing that you should
make every inquiry to satisfy yourself
that It was not stolen. I suppose that
it what you fear?"
Sheer wonder kept, the Jew silent for
a space.
"Do you know Its value?" he said, with
a sudden snap.
"Mr, Wilson told me it wbb worth sev-
oral hundred pounds."
"Did he, nhlyr,s
"Yes. He said you would treat me qulto
fairly, so I wish you to advance me a
few pounds until you have decided upon
its real price. You see, I am very poor,
any my present appearance creates an
unfavorable Impression, Still. I am telling
you the absolute truth, and I show my
confidence In you' and In my own case by
offering to leave the diamond with you
I on your receipt, together with a small
sum of money.
Philip though he was getting 'on very
well. Isaacsteln's large eyes bulged ut
him, and speech came but slowly. He
leaned forward and rummaged among
some papers. Then he opened a drawer
and produced a magnifying glass, with
which he focused tho diamond.
"Yes, It's worth six or seven hun.
dred pounds," he announced, "but it will
be some time before I can speak ac
ourately as to Its value. I think it may
be flawless, but that can only be deter
mined when Jt Is cut,"
PhiliPl's heart throbbed when he heard
tho estimate.
"Then I can have a few pounds" he
commenced.
"Steady, You are not In such a hurry;
eh? You won't tell where you got It?'
"I may, later, If you continue to deal
with me as honestly as you have done
already."
Icaacsteln moved on his seat. Even In
a chair ho wanted to wabble. Thero was
a slight pause.
"Have you any more like this stone?
I suppose not, eh
' Yes. X have many more.

"No doubt you nro sutprlsed, sir. but
not more than I am myself. Yet, It Is true.
I liave some-as bttC ngnln."
Philip. In his eagerness, nearly forgot
his resolution to advance slowly, How
the diamond merchant would shako sf
only he could seo soma of tho white peb
bleu in tho meteor.
"As big again! Where arc they?
The chair was crcnklhg.noW with the
rhythmic swaying or Its occupant.
"Whoro this one came from. Mr.
isaacsteln."
Philip smiled. Hp could not tell how
It happened, but ho relt mai no was mu
iniollnptiml sunerlor of tho man who sat
there glowering at him so Intently. At
ready the boy began to grasp nimbly tho
reality of the power which enormous
wealth would glvo him.
Such Pcoplo ns tho Jew and his satel
lites would bo mere automata In tho
nffalrn of his life. Important enough In n
sense, with tho Importance of n stamp

could unlock tho door of the treasure.
house. For tho first time rhlllp wished
ho was older, bigger, more experienced.
He. even found himself beginning to
wonder what he should do until ho
reached man's rBtoto- He sighed.
Isaacstetn was watching him closely,
trying to solve the puxxlo by tho nld of
each trick and (lodgo known In a trado
which lends Itself to acuto roguery of
every description. Tho look of uncon
scious anxiety, of mental weariness,
on Philip's face, seemed to clear away
his coubts. Ho chuckled thickly.
"How many, now?" he murmured. "Ten,
twenty of assorted bIzcs, eh?"
"Far moro! Vm more! Bo content with
what I tell you today, Mr. Isaacsteln. 1
said my business was important. When
you are better acquainted with me I think
you will find It sufficiently valuable to
occupy tho whole ot your time."
Philip was ever on the verge of bursting
out Into confidences. His secret was too
vast, too overpowering for a boy of 15.
He wanted the .knowledge and tho trust
of an older man. He did not reallzo that
the Jew, beginning by regarding him as
a thief, was now veering round to tho
opinion that ho was a lunatic. For It Is
known to most men that tho values of
diamonds Incrcoso out ot all proportion
to their weight.
Whllo a one-carat stono Is worth,
roughly speaking, ten pounds, a twenty
carat gem of tho same purity Is worth.
any turn beyond 2,X pounds, and tho dia
mond Philip had submitted for Inspec
tion would probably cut Into ton or twelve
carats of fine lustre. To speak, there
fore, of an abundanco of larger and finer
stones was n simple absurdity. Tho Do
Beers company alono could use such a
flguro of speech, and even then only at
Isolated dates In Its history. -
The. bov. with his eyes steadfastly flxert
on the Jew's face ana yet wun a aisiam
expression In them that paid slight heed
to tho waves of crqotlon exhibited by tho
heavy cheeks and pursed-up mouth,
awaited some final utteranco on tho pnrt
of his questioner. Surely ho had said suf
ficient to mako this man keenly aiivo to
tho commercial value of the "buslneea"
ho offered. Under the conditions Isaac
steln could not refuso to glvo him suffi
cient monoy to meet his Immediate wants.
Tho Jew, seemingly at a loss ror woras,
bent again ovor the stono. He was
scrutinising It closojy when a heavy
tread crossed tho outer showroom and
the door was flung open.
' A -policeman entered, and Isaacsteln
bounced out of his chair.
"I haVe sent lor you, constable, to tako
this boy Into custody," ho cried, ex
citedly. "He enmo here ten minutes ago
and offered for sale a. very valuable
diamond, so rare and worth so much
that ho must have stolen it.
Philip, too, sprang up.
"It is a lie!" ho shouted. "How dare
you Bay such a thing when I havo told
you that It Is mine?" '
The policeman collared him by the
Bhoulder.
"ateady, my young spark." ho tald.
Mr. Isaacsteln knows what ho Is
about, and I don't supposo he Is very far
from wrong this time. Do you know the
boy, sir?" hq went on.
Isaacsteln gavo a voluble and accurate
summary of Philip's statements. Each
moment the policeman a grip became
firmer. Evidently the boy wob tho more
agent of a gang of thieves, though It
was beyond comprehension that any ens
short of an idiot should choose an emis
sary wlth'broken boots and ragged cloth
ing In order to effect a deal with the
leading house In Hatton Garden.
Philip listened to the recital In dumb
agony. Ills face was deathly pale, and
hip eyes glowed with the rage and shame
that tilled his soul. So the Jew had been
playing with him, merely fooling him
until some secret signal by an electric
belt had sent a messenger flying for the
police. His dream of wealth would ho a
felon's cell. Very well, be It no. If he
could help it, not alt the pollcemoi In
I,ondon should rend his secret from him.
With a sudden glow of fiery satisfaction
ho remembered that his clothing con
tained no clew to his' address, and he had
not given his name either at Ludguta
Hill or Hatton Garden. How long could
they keep him a prisoner? Would '.hers
find his meteor and rob him f his
mother's gift? ..In less than a fortnight
men would come to tear down the build
