"THE KING OF DIAMONDS"
A Thrilling Story of a Modern Monte Crista
BY LOUIS

Great Story To-day
by Reading This
First
Philip Anson Is a boy of IS years, ot
fine education and good breeding, but an
orphan and miserably poor.
The story opens with the death ot his
mother.
Rich relatives havo deserted the family
In tnelr hour of need, nnd when his
mother's death comes Philip is In de
spair. Ho looks over his mother's letters
and finds that he Is related to Sir Philip
Morland. A few days later a torrltlc
thunderstorm brews aver Ixmdon. At
the height of tho storm a flush of light
ning scares a team attached to a coach
standing In front ot a West End man
sion. Philip, who has become a news
boy, rescues a girl from tho carrluge
Just beforo it turns over. A man with
tho girl trips ovor Philip In his excite
ment. He cuffs the boy and calls a po
liceman. Tho girl pleads for Philip and
he Is allowed to go after learning that
the man was Lord Vanstone. Philip then
determines to commit suicide.
Just as hs Is about to hang himself a
meteor flashed by tho window and
crashed Into tho flagstones in tho ynrd.
The boy takes this as a sign from heaven
not to kill hlmeeir. Ho then goen to the
yard to look at the meteor. Philip picks
up several curious looking bits ot the
meteor and takes them to a diamond
merchant named Inacsteetn, who causes
his arrest. At tho pollco station no gives ,
his name as Philip Morland. Isaacsteln
tells the Judge that tho diamonds uro
worth f60,000 (1250,000). Philip refuses to
answer Questions and Is remanded for a
week. Lady Morland, dining In a res
taurant, reads about "Philip Morland"
and la puzzled.
In the police court ho succeeds In con
vincing the magistrate. Mr. ADinguon,
that he came Into possession of tho Jow
els honestly, and In wlnnlnlg tho friend
ship of the magistrate, who sends him
back to make an arrangement with Isaac-
diamonds to the amount of 260,000 pounds
a. year for a term of years, for a com
mission of 10 per cent, and to place nt
onco 8,000 pounds to the boy's credit In
a bank. Fifty pounds is paid in cash.
,'lth this money Philip provides hlmeelt
with a betor suit ot clothes, and with
bags to take care of tho Jewels, and re
turns to Johnson's mews: on the way he
meets with an adventure, which brings
him In contact with a poor woman. At
the old home he gathers up tho diamonds,
and has Just succeeded In placing tho last
Df them In a portmanteau, which ho dls
covers that ho Is being watched by a
man outside. He succeeds In getting rid
of the fellow .only to discover another
pair of eyes pering at him. This time it
Is o. policeman. Philip assists the police
man In overpowering "Jockey" Mason, a
desperate criminal, and saves tho police
man's life. The man curses Philip and the
Policeman starts with him to the atattou
house. ' While the policeman Is absent
delivering his prisoner, Philip succeeds
In transferring his bags filled with dia
monds'' to the Junk storo of " his good
frlend.V O'Brien, where all is safe. He
lias barely made his last trip when the
policeman returns to tho house with the
inspector. Philip Is questioned closely,
and returns frank answers to all tho in
spector's queries. Ho shows letters from
his father to his mother, pawn tickets,
and other evidences of tho occupancy ot
the house, and tells the Inspector he has
found friends since the death of his
mother. The inspector leaves Philip satis
fied that Jocky Mason has been dreaming
about tho diamonds. Ho promises to look
up the boy In the morning. When morn
lng came Philip had left Johnson's Mews,
thad loaded his bags filled with diamonds
on a cab, and was away on his new life.
Ssaacsteln accompanies Philip to the
bank, 'where he opens an account, and
then tho broker prepares to go to Amster
dam to sell the diamonds, whllo Philip
seeks apartments at a hotel. The clerk
Is somewhat astonished that a mere boy
should engage rooms at a cost of 125 a
day. but the manager la quieted when
he finds the check tendered by the boy
Is good at the bank. Philip addresses
tho valet In French in dlslmlsslng him.

Now, tho chance use of that language,
no less than his perfect accont, went a
long way toward removing tho manager's
suspicions. A boy -who was so woll edu
cated must bo qulto out of the common,
l'erhapa somo eccentric parent or guar
dian encouraged him to aot independently
thus early In life. Ho might be the son
of a rich man coming to London for a
special course of study. The name, Anson,
was an aristocratic one. But his clothes
they wcro odd. Good enough, but not the
rlsht thing.
"Will you obligo me by recommending
n good tailor?" said Philip. "I need a
completo outfit of wearing appartl. and
4f will iflvn m n. Int nt trouble If some
body Will tell me exactly what to buy
nnd where to buy it."

disconcerted tho manager greatly. Un
doubtedly tho boy was a puzzle. Never
had this experienced man ot tho world
mot any one more self-possessed, more
direct, and yet, with It all, exceedingly

"I tako It that you want tho best?" he
Inquired, pleasantly.
"Vcs."
"Are vou lunphlnc In thfl MDtet?"
"I would llko something sent here, It

Tho manager felt that a generation was
growing up or which ho know nothing,
but he simply answered:
"I will sco to It. Do you or take
wine?"
Philip laughed, that pleasant, whole
souled laugh of his which Instantly se
cured him friends. -
"Not yet, Monsieur"
"Forot Is my name."
"Well, Monsieur Forot, 1 am far too
young as yet for either Wine or tobacco.
I promised by mother I would touch
neither until 1 am 31 years of age, and I

As ror the ragged 'youth with the dia

Mews, In the Pall Mall hotel, the most
luxurious and expensive establishment In
London.
That afternoon Philip visited the Safe

of course. In securing a small-strone.
room. Hen encountered the wonted sur
prlso at his youth, but the excellent argu
ment of a banking account and the pay
ment of a year's rent In advance soon
cleared tho alf.
Ho transferred four of his portmanteaux
to this secure environment the fifth was
sent to his hotel. When the light faded,
ho drove, to the East End, and made a
round of pawnbrokers' shora. AHhnncrh
somo of tho tickets wero time-expired,
no recovered nearly all his mother's be
longings, excepting her watch.
Tho odd coincidence recalled tho ln
ipector's implied promise that he should
rccelvo ono as a recognition of his gal
lantry.
How remote, how far removed frnm
each other, tho main events in his life
eeemed to bo nt this eventful epoch. As
o went westward In a hansom, ho could
hardly bring himself to believe thut
barely twenty-four hours had elapsed
nco ho traveled to the Mile End road in
company with Mrs. Wrigley.
And tho curious thing was that ho felt
In no senso awed by the possession of
thousands of pounds and the tenancy of
palatial chambers In a great hotel. His
career had been too checkered, Its recent
developments too stupendous to causo
him any undue emotion. Existence, for
the hour, was a species of well-ordered
dream, In which Imagination was untram-
meied save by tho need to exercise, his
wits In order to keep tho phantasy within
tho bounds not of his own brain, but ot
other men's.
At the hotel ho found the French-valet
sotting forth a shirt. The man explained
that ho required a spare set of stilds and
links.
This reminded Philip that there was
still a good deal of shopping to bo done.
Ho was about to leave tho room for tho
purpose, when tho valet said:
"Another portmanteau has arrived for
monsieur. Will you bo pleased to un-,
lock it?"
"No," said Philip. "It must remain un-.
touched." He smiled at tho thought of the (

a week ago he passed through tho street
outside, bound In the pitiless rain tor
Johnson's Mews, and bent on suicide.
Ho walked Into Regent street and made
a number of purchases, not forgetting i
somo books. A double silver mounted
photograph stand caught his cye It
would hold tho two best pictures he pos
sessed of his father and mother, so he
bought It. He also acquired a dispatch
box In which he could store his valuables,
both Jewelry and documents, for ho' had
quite a number of receipts, letters and
other things to safeguard now, and hs
did not wish servants' prying eyes to
examine anything belonging to him.-
When alone In his room, he secured
tho album and locked that special port
manteau again, after stowing therein the
letters found beneath Mrs. Anson's pil
low. Soon his mother's dear faco smiled
It him from a beautiful border of filigree
silver. The slgh was pleasant to him,

It was Strang that he thought so little
of his father at this time, but the truth
was that his childhood was passed so
much in" his mother's company, and' they
wero so Inseparable during tho last two
years(i that memories of his father were

And now comes tho "vegetarian furs."
Whenever thcro Is an Insistent demand
for anything in this world It creates a
supply.
The -growth ' of tho humane societies
and tho spirit of humaiiltarlanlsm has
given a remarkable Impetus to tho vege
tarian orgqnlzatipn.,
Whoro onco thcro were ten "queer peo

are a thousand today.
And whore., ten years ago the menu of
the -vegetarian was a most limited and
melancholy one, today It la rich In va
riety and appetizing in taste and excel
lent In Its nourishing results.
Tim "writer recently met a man of 3S
who wps In magnificent health, virile,
handsomo and possessed of a most bril
liant mind. An orator and a thinker of
unusual power, this man had never In his
life tasted meat, fish, fowl, eggs, coffee,
alcoholic drinks or tobacco,
He was born nnd bred In India, and his
simple diet of fruit, vegetables, cereals
and milk (with an occasional dissipation
In a cup of weak tea) had sufficed to
make him what he was In brain and
body. Tho'vegctarlans havo often been
confused when confronted by tho seeming
necessity ot funj in cold weather to pro-,
tcct tho body from Icy winds and zero
temperature.

"Would you mind .telling mo who paid
the bill? I supposo It was paid?"
"Well, as a matter ot fact, It was over

ho managed to answer that the boy was

less tu wcur tho hide and hair of the
slaughtered animal as to eat his flesh.
But tho growing conviction that the
vegetarian must bo consistent has created
another supply to answer this demand
and the "vegetarian furs" are today worn
by many a modish woman who would
scorn to appear Jn public looking old
fashioned. v
Those furs aro tho beginning of a now
and profitable Industry, and aro as lovely,
warm nnd becoming as tho most expensive
skins of nnlmnls. Now from England
comes tho word that a new Invention
on tho market which makefl a "vegetar
ian shoo sole" a possibility. And vege
tarlan leather for slippers rivals the finest

Tho Humane and Society for tho Pro
tection of Animals societies are
issuing a little button to bo sold
and worn by children bearing the motto,
"Kindness to Animals,"
Every effort made to Interest children
In this subject should be met with en
couragement by their elders.
Here Is a letter which appeared In
humane magazine sent from Hartford
Conn., which tells Just what Is going on
In overy part of the land today:
"The Indiscriminate killing of birds with
an air gun has been carried on all sum
mor In the south end ot the city by some
small boys. Theso same boys were found
picking up the dazed and maimed bird
and roasting them alive. They also shot
a little boy. . He was quietly playing In
his own yard. Not only havo they been
killing and wounding birds, but any little
animal they saw became a target for
them.
-a laay-s rat was snot twice in one
week. The first tlmo sand was shot
under tho skin, on a front shoulder. The
second time It was shot In the eye, caus
Ing great suffering for days. When th
lady remonstr.'atcd with one of tho boys
for such cruel uport, the father of the
boy came out and, though a perfect stran
ger, was Insolent In his remarks to her,
Finally tho matter was brought to the
attention of the gumo warden, who
promptly Investigated the case, and who
explained the law to the mother of the
boy who owned tho air gun.
"For nearly four days nothing more
was seen of tho gun, and then theso same
boys were out onco more, not only with
ono nlr gun, but with two of them. Peo
plo aro afraid to report such matters, as
It is llkoly, sooner or later, to get them
Into trouble."
The parents of theso children are. no
doubt, Christians, who believe they are
bringing up their boys righteously.

strong prospect of" spending the night In

was under suspicion. Everybody who
hadn't lived In the town at least twenty
ears was considered a possible oncmy
of tho public pence.
It wouM havo been funny If It hadn t
been so sad. A girl of IS wns held a
prisoner In her father's homo nnd was
doing her best to escapo to th middle-
aged, married Lochlnvnr with whom she
had elopoi two weeks before nnd from
whom her father had taken her and by
forco brought her home. The bereft,
law-breaking lover had threatened to re
(urn to tho town and with tho aid ot
armed men snatch his Dulclnea from her
father's cruel clutches, and every stranger
who enteral tho town wns believed to be
In lcaguo with him.
Dignified, middle-aged women wero be

como to town to foreclose a mortgago on
chicken farm was requested to prove
beyond poradvonture ot doubt thnt he
was unarmed and that his middle power
automobile was not a fairy godfather
chariot designed to enrry the stubborn
vlllngo girl to her bald ami Impatient
wooer.
In the plain little home which the
father had built the summer beforo and
which ho was forced ta mortgago to
meot tho expenses of tho pu'rmilt nt his
fleeing daughter war was unceasing, nnd
no less bitter because It had a sordid
elomcnt. Tho father had given a small
bond for the girl's appearance against
her ndmlrer. Ho was determined not to
forfeit that bond. He must get his
money back. Words rising sometimes to

ominous signs of an unduo Interest In her

across many states, tore her from her

what he had Intended to bo a haven, but
which tho girl has turned Into a placo
with a family resemblance to hades. A
warning, however faint, by his wife In
season might have averted the disgrace
that has fallen as a crushing hand upon
the household.
In the great army of those unfit for
their Jobs In Ufa Is a very largo number
ot mothers. So long as their children
aro of doll size and have a doll's novelty
they are good mothers. They are tender
enough. Wo cannot gainsay that, But
when tho boy develops tho qualities that
will mako him a good citizen, a good hus
band and father, and tho girl those traits
that will flower Into splendid womanhood,
these mothers aro not strong enough nor
wise enough, nor careful enough, to direct
tho strength Into tho right channel, and
knowing their lack of these qualities they
aro too careless ot their trust or too
cowardly to ask their husband's aid.
There Is a great deal of pity wasted on
the mothers ot girls like this. In their
hearts and minds they know when they
look upon the wreck of their daughters'
lives that they could have prevented
thoso wrecks. In tho majority of cases
mothers have been tho careless pilots
who have permitted the home ship to
drift upon the rocks.
The Institutions for doing the work
left undono by the motners would bo
practically empty If mothers were as
strong as they are tender. Mothers of
girls, go to the sparrow and learn ot her,
to defend your nest.

Seauiy Lesson
Tho best time to glvo the faoe a spe
cial treatment Is bofore retiring, and th
fnco bhould always bo thoroughly
cleansed at that time, whether nny spe
cial treatment Is given or not. Massage Is
not always practical at night, but. It It
In possible. It has a double value; dur
ing sleep tho skin will slowly absorb tho
mnssnge crenm nnd tho Improvemen that
the mnnlptiintton has affected will be
preserved during sleep.
Ucgln the evening toilet by thoroughly
cleaning ,tnon wash with the cleansing
crenm. tflng for this purpose squares of
cheesecloth that havo been washed to ro
movo riny stiffness, or, better still, pieces
of old linen. After thlB bathe the face and
neck thoroughly In lukewarm water. Do
not uso hot water unlosa you aro prepar
ing tho faco for n blackhead treatment.
Hot water tends to wrlnklo tho aklhi the
only ndvuntngo In It Is that Is opens tho
pores, and tho lukewarm water will do
this sufficiently for an ordinary massaga.
Pat tho skin dry and then gently apply
tho mnssngc cream, rubbing against the
lines that nro forming and Very gently
patting In tho cream about the eyes. If
the skin Is dry, somo of tho cream may
be left on allnlght; If tho skin In oily, or
It thero Is any tendency towards pimples
or blackheads, wipe all tho cream from
tho faco with a slightly damp cloth. In
the morning bathe tho ace and neck with
cold water.
Never use a towel or washcloth on the
face that Is not perfectly clcan.Never use
anything except a soft face towel on the
face and neck; keep the. Turkish towels
for the body bath. Complexion brushes
are oomotlmcs useful for special treat
ments, but they fall to do good and many
work much harm If thoy aro not perfectly
clean. Sponges have a curious attraction
for dirt and Boap and If they are used
In tho genoral toilet they should be
washed every day and dried In the sun.
During tho day the face rarely re
quires a second thorough cleansing;
bathing It and rubbing It gently with a
soft wet cloth Is suftclent. I this Is not
sufficient uso the faco cream again with
a clean, c!amp cloth.
A pupil wrtUs asking If I believe soap
should ever be usod on tho face ot an
adult? My nnswor Is that, as all soaps
have a certain drying effect, they should
not be used oh a skin inclined to be dry
or to wrinkle. A cleansing cream Bhould
be used Instead.
A puro soap, rinsed well from the face.
will not harm a normal skin, but I do not
ndvlso Its uso dally. An oily skin, how
ever, especially If thero Is any Inclination
to acne, will bo bcnoflted by the list of
soup. A pimply patch may often be cured
by covering It with a pasta of soap and
allowing this to remain over night. For
this purpose uso common kitchen soap or
what the druggists sell as "green soap,"
for It Is tho strong alkali In the soap that
dries up the pimples.
