By FRANK S. CHANCE SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING INSTALLMENTS: A traveler on a Pull-

i j man sleeper hears a man make the j assertion that he knows how to grow j diamonds. A skeptical friend does not

believe it and accuses him of joking.

Jim laughed and, loosening a safeguard, took the discussed pin from his scarf and handed it to his friend. "Billy," said he "I'm not joking. I'm a real, sure-for-cer tain dia

mond grower. The stone you have in your fist is a flawless blue-white that weighs a carat and a half. It was grown from the little mustard seed diamond about which you were kidding me a moment a?o. If you meet

I me a month hence the stone wnicn

you are now admiring so lovingly will have grown an eighth of a carat." "Go on, tell it all. You're either a real genius or the biggest liar that ever toted a grip." "I won't admit that I'm either; but I do claim to have run across a little plan that enables me to own a diamond that I never could have got any other way and kept out of jail at the same time."
