They were followed to the cave by the grl's relatives, who blocked tip the en- ance, and drew off the water supply, Ifl&ving the couple to die. Baraka's cousin Bead, her betrothed, attempted to climb down a clilt overlooking the mine; but the traveler shot him. The stranger waa revived from a water gourd Saad car­ ried, dug his way out of the tunnel, and departed, deserting the girl and carrying • bag of rubies. Baraka gathered all the gems she could carry, and started in pur­ suit. Margaret Donne (Margarita da Cordova), a famous prima donna, became engaged in London to Konstantin Lo­ gotheti, a wealthy Greek financier. Her Intimate friend was Countess Leven, known a* Lady Maud, whose husband had been killed by a bomb in St. Peters­ burg; and l,ady Maud's most intimate friend was Itufus Van Torp, an Ameri­ can, who had become one of the richest Ben in the world. Van Torp was in love with Margaret, and rushed to London as Soon as he heard of her betrothal. He offered Lady Maud $5,000,000 for her pet charity if she would aid him in winning the singer from Logotheti. Baraka ap- proached Logotheti at Versailles with rabies to »ell. He presented a ruby to Margaret. Van Torp bought a yacht and Snt it to Venice. He was visited by iraka in male ^attire. She gave him a ruby after the American had told her of having seen in the United States a man answering the description of the one she loved. The American followed Margaret to the Bayreuth "Parsifal" festival. Mar­ garet took a liking to Van Torp, who pre­ sented her with the ruby Baraka had given him. Count Kralinsky, a Russian, arrived at Bayreuth. Van Torp believed him to be the one Baraka was pursuing. Baraka was arrested in London on the Charge of stealing from Pinney, a jew­ eler, the ruby she had sold to Logotheti. Two strangers were the thieves. Lady Maud believed that Logotheti's associa­ tions with Raraka were open to suspi­ cion, and so informed Margaret- Van Torp believed that Kralinsky Waa the cowiny he had known in his young man­ hood. 3&9APTER XIIf--<eoniinuSjd| • M.\' • ' -- i "I- should have thought you were pore used to riding," said the Amerl- . v . .

Unhappily for his peace and his an­ ticipated feast of poetry, he looked through his letters to see If there were one from Margaret, and there was only a colored postcard from Bay­ reuth, with the word "greetings" scrawled beside the address in her large hand. Next to the card, how­ ever, there was a thick letter ad­ dressed in a commercial writing he rememberfed but could not at once identify; and though it was apparent­ ly a business communication, and could therefore have waited till the next morning, when his secretary would come as usual, he opened it out of mere curiosity to know whence it came. It was from Mr. Pinney, the Jewel­ er, and it contained a full and con­ scientious account of the whole affair of the theft, from the moment when Logotheti and Van Torp had gone out together until Mr. Pinney bad locked up the stone in his safe again, and Baraka and Spiro had been lodged in Brixton jail. The envelope contained also a cutting from the newspaper similar to the one Margaret had re­ ceived from Lady Maud. Logotheti laid the letter on the table and looked at his watch. It was now a quarter-past six, and old- fashioned shops like Pinney's close rather early in the dull season, when few customers are to be expected and the days are not so long as they have been. In the latter part of August, in London, the sun sets soon after seven o'clock, and Logotheti realised that he had no time to lose. As he drove quickly op towards Bond street, he ran over the circum­ stances in his mind, and came to the conclusion that Baraka had probably been the victim of a trick, though he did not exclude the bare possibility that she might be guilty. He found Mr. Pinney in the act of turning the discs of the safe before going home and leaving his shopman to shut up the place. He smiled with grave satisfaction when Logotheti en­ tered. t \ • 1 *- surprised jeweler, "that you had bought It without thoroughly examin­ ing it sir--you who are an expert?" "No, that's not what I mean," an­ swered the Greek, bending over the ruby and scrutinizing It through the strong magnifier. Mr.- Pinney felt himself snubbed, which had not happened to him for a long time, and he drew himself up with dignity. A minute passed, and Logotheti did not look up; another and Mr. Pinney grew nervous; a few seconds more, and he received a shock that took away his breath. "This is not my ruby," said Logo­ theti, looking up, and~ speaking with .perfect confidence. "Not--your--ruby!" Mr. Pinney's Jaw dropped. "But--" He could get no further. "I'm Borry," Logotheti said calmly. 'Tm very sorry, for several reasons. But it's not the stone I .brought you, though it's just as large, and most ex­ traordinarily like It." "But how do you know, irlr?"gasped the jeweler. "Because I'm an expert, as you were good enough to say just now." "Yes, sir. But I am an expert, too, and to the best of my expert belief this is the stone you left with me to be cut the day. before yesterday. I've examined it most thoroughly." "No doubt," answered tie Greek. "But you hadnt examined mine thor­ oughly before it was stolen, had you? You had only looked at it with me, on the counter here." "That is correct, sir," said Mr. Pin­ ney nervously. "That is quite true." "Very well. But I did more than merely look at it through a lens or weigh it. I did not care so much about the weight, but I cared very much for the water, and I tried the ruby point on it in the usual way, but it was too hard, and then I scratched it in two places with the diamond, more out of curiosity than for any other reason." v "You marked It, sir? There's not a single scratch on this one! Merciful Providence! Merciful Providence!" "Yes," Logotheti said gravely. "The girl spoke the truth. She had two stones much larger than the rest when she first came to me in Paris, this one and another. They were almost ex­ actly alike, and she wanted me to buy both, but I did not want them, and I took the one I thought a little better in color. This is the other, for she still had it; and, so far as I know, it is her legal property, and mine is gone. The thief was one of those two young fellows who came in just when Mr. Van Torp and I went out. I remember thinking what nice-locking boys they were!" He laughed rather harshly, for he was more annoyed than his considera­ tion for Mr. Pinney made him care to show. He had looked forward to giv­ ing Margaret the ruby, mounted just as she wanted it; and the ruby was gone, and he did not know where he was to And another, except the one that was now in Pinney's hands, but really belonged to poor Baraka, who could certainly not sell it at present. A much larger sum of money was gone, too, than any financier could lose with equanimity by such a pe­ culiarly disagreeable mishap as be­ ing robbed. There were several rea­ sons why Logotheti was not pleased. "I am deeply humiliated," said the worthy old jeweler. "I have not only been tricked and plundered, but I have been the means of sending Inno­ cent people to prison." "You had better be the means of to her; lie would take it from her as soon as they were alone and return it to his own pocket; and being an oriental, he would probably beat her for robbing him, but would not let her out of his sight again till he was tired of he#. Lady Maud had heard from her late husband how all Turks be­ lieved that women had nn souls and should. be kept under lock and key, and well fed, and soundly beaten now and then for the good of their tem­ pers. This view was exaggerated, but Lady Maud was In a humor to recall it .and accept it without criticism, and she made up her mind that before leaving town to Join £Iargaret she would make sure of the facts. No friend of hers should marry a man capable of such outrageous deeds. So she went to Logotheti's lodgings and asked to see him, as regardless of what any one should think Of her, if she were recognized, as she had been in the old days when she used to go to Van Torp'a chambers in the Tem­ ple in the evening. , She was told that Logotheti was out of town. Where? The servant did not know that The lady could see the secretary, who might, per­ haps, tell her. He received every one who had business with Mons. Logo­ theti. She went up one flight and was ad­ mitted to a very airy sitting room, simply furnished. The Swiss secretary rose ponder­ ously to receive her, and as she did not sit down he remained standing. His vast face was fringed with a beard of no particular color, and his eyes were fixed and blue in his head, like turquoises set in pale sole leather. "I am Countess Leven," she said, "and I have knowp Mons. Logotheti some time. Will you kindly tell me where he is?" "I do not know,'madam," was* the answer. "He is not In London?" "At present I do not know, madam." "Hsb he left no address? Do you not forward his letters to him?" "No, madam. I do not forward his letters to him." "Then I suppose he is on bit yacht," suggested Lady Maud. "Madam, I do not know whether he Is on his yacht" "You don't seem to know any­ thing!" "Pardon me, madam, I think I know my business. That to all I know." Lady Maud held her beautiful head a little higher and her lids dropped slightly as she looked down at him, for he was shorter than she. But the huge leathern face was perfectly im­ passive, and the still, turquoise eyes surveyed her without winking. She had never seen such stolidity in a human being. v There was cleanly nothing to be done, and she thought the secretary distinctly rude; but as that was no reason why she should be, she bade him good-morning civilly and turned to go. Somewhat to her surprise, he followed her quickly across the room, opened the door for her and went on into the little ball to let her out. There was a small table there, on which lay some of Logotheti's hats, and several pairs of gloves were laid out neatly before them. There was one pair, of a light gray, very much smaller than all the rest, so Small, in­ deed, that they might have fitted a boy of seven, except that they looked too narrow for any boy. They wore men's rloves as to length and buttons, but oniy a child could have worn them. Lady Maud saw them instantly, and HKHLhmmi getting them out again as soon as pos- j remembered Baraka's disguise; and p . . * " I t * a « r a * d R u b y , " H e f t a U f . •j'i ' ,'«• Margaret was sure that she was sot going to like him, as she moved with him by her side; and Van forp, walking with Mrs. Rushmore, #as quite certain that he was Levi Longlegs, who had herded cattle with him for ate months ,t«t long • " • Ago. -v ^ •, I'*. • i Logotheti reached his lodgings in James' place at six o'clock in the avenlng of the day on which he had promised to dine with Van Torp, and tie latt#fi» note of excuse was given him at once. He read it, looked Opt of the window, glanced at it again, «yid threw it into the waste-paper isket without another thought. He |d not care in the least about din­ ing with the American millionaire. In flict, he had looked forward to it rath­ er a* a bore than a pleasure. -He saw eh his table, with his letters, a flat ' fchd almost square parcel, which the > addressed label told him contained * the Archaeological Report of the Egyptian Exploration Fund, and he had heard that the new number would ,*»ntalo an account of a papyrus re- * trntly discovered at Oxyrrhynchus, on which * softie new fragments of Pin­ dar had been Pound.

"I presume that you had my let­ ter? I wrote out the account with great care, as you may imagine, but I shall be happy to go over the story with you if there la any point that ia not clear." , • Logotheti diet not wish to hear it; he wished to see the ruby. Mr. Pin­ ney turned the discs aga|n to their places, stuck the little key into the secret keyhole which then revealed itself, turned it three times to the left and five times to the right, and opened the heavy Iron door. The safe was an old-fashioned one that had belonged to his father before him. He got out the japanned tin box, opened ' that, and produced the stone, still in lt> paper, for it was too thick to be put Into one of Mr. Pinney's favorite pill boxes. * Logotheti undid the paper, took out the big uncut ruby, laid it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it critically, turning it over with one finger from time to time. He took ft to the door of the shop, where the evening light was stronger, and Examined it with the greatest care. Still he did not seem satisfied. i "Let me have your lea*, Mr. P|n- hey," he said, "and some electric light and a sheet of white paper." Mr.-Pinney turned up a strong dropi Hght that stood on the coonter,; ttid produced the paper and a magnider. . ' "tt's a grand' ruby," he >said. * ; Lofortieti1'wfiswered [hie, said logotheti. "An must also make an effort to trace those young men who stole the ruby." "I most certainly shall," replied the jeweler, "and if it is not found we will make it good to you, sir, what­ ever price you set upon It. I am deeply humiliated, but nobody shall say that Pinney & Son do not make good any loss their customers sustain through them." "Don't worry about that, Mr. .Pin­ ney," said Logotheti, who saw how much distressed the old jeweler really was. , So th^y went out and hailed a han­ som and drove away. It would be tiresome to give a de­ tailed account of what they did. Suf­ fice it to say that the prisoners wore set at large; Mr. Pinney restored the ruby to Baraka. and all her other be­ longings were given back to her, even including the smart gray suit of men's clothes in which she had been ar­ rested; and her luggage and other things which the manager of the hotel where she had been stopping had handed over to the police were all re­ turned; and when Spiro appeared at the hotel to pay the small bill that had been left owing, he held his head as high as an oriental can when he has got the better of any one, and that is pretty high Indeed. Further­ more, Mr. Pinney insisted on giving Logotheti a formal document by which Messrs. Pinney & Son bound themselves to make good to him, his heirs, or assigns, the loss of a ruby, approximately of a certain weight and quality, which he had lost through their carelessness. On the -day following Baraka's lib- eratlon, Lady Maud received Margar ret's pressing message begging her to go to Bayreuth. The message reached her before noon, about the time when Margaret and her companions had come back from their morning w&lk, and after hesitating for half an hour, she telegraphed that she would come with pleasure,and would start at once which meant that evening. • -> She. had just read the official ac­ count of the ruby case in its n$>w as­ pect, and she did not believe a word of the story. To her mind it was quite clear that Logotheti was still infatu­ ated wRh the girl, that he had come to London as fast as he could, and that he had deliberately sworn that the ruby was not his, but -another one, in order to get her out of trouble. If K was not his it bad not been stolen from Pinney's, fend the whole casesfell through at once. If she was declared innocent the stone must he given back as she passed the big umbrella jar to go out, she saw that with two of Logotheti's stfeks there was a third, fully four inches shorter! just a plain crook-handled stick with a silver ring! That was enough. Baraka had cer­ tainly been in the lodgings and had probably left in them everything that belonged to her disguise. The fact that the gloves and the stick were in the hall looked very much as if she had come in dressed as a man and had left them there when she had gone away in woman's attire. That she was with Logotheti, most prob­ ably on his yacht, Lady Maud had not the least doubt, as she went down the stairs. The Swiss secretary stood at the open door on the landing till she was out of sight below, and then went in again, and returned to work over a heap of business papers and letters. When he had worked half an hour, he leaned back in his leathern chair to rest, and stared fixedly at the book­ case. Presently he spoke aloud in English, as if Lady Maud were still in the room, in the same dull, matter-of- fact tone, but more forcibly as to ex­ pression. "It is perfectly true, though you do not believe me, madam. I do not know anything. How the dickens should I know where they are, madam? But I know my business.

You can find anything in a great city, if you know how to look for it, and he had discovered through' an agency a girl from TrebJzonde who had been caught at 12 years old by missionaries, brought to England and educated to go into service; she spoke English very prettily, and had not alto­ gether forgotten the lingua franca of Asia.

The Tartar girl wore a skirt and jacket of dark blue yachting serge, which did not fit badly considering that they had been bought ready-made by Logotheti's man. She had little white tennis shoes on her feet, which were crossed one over the other on the deck chair, but instead of wear­ ing a hat she had bound a dove-col­ ored motor veil on her head by a sin­ gle thick gold cord, in the Asiatic wsy, and the thin folds hung down on each side, and lay on her shoulders, see it is; rather curtly mean to sky," asked the by a man-servant, who had only her height and the size of her waist to guide him. Logotheti watched her delicate, energetic profile, admiring the curves of her closed lips, and the willful turning up of h«r little chin. She was more than very pretty now, he thought, and he was quietly amused at his own audacity In taking her to sea alone with him, almost on the eve of his marriage. It was espe­ cially diverting to think of what the proper people would say if they knew it, and to contrast the intentions they would certainly attribute to him with the perfectly honorable ones he enter­ tained. As for Baraka, It never occurred to her that she was not as safe with him as she had been in her father's house In the little white town far away, nearly three years ago; and besides, her steel bodkin with the silver han­ dle had been given back to her, and she could feel it in its place when she pressed her left hand to her side. Logotheti has been first of all pre­ occupied about getting Baraka out of England without attracting attention, and then for her comfort and recov­ ery from the strain and suffering of the last few days. As for that, she was like a healthy young animal, and as soon ss She had a chance she had fallen so sound asleep that she had not waked for 12 hours. Logotheti's intent was to take her to Paris by a roundabout wayv and establish her under some proper sort of protection. Margaret was stlli in Germany, but would soon return to France, and he had almost made up his mind to ask her advice, not dreaming that in such a case she could really deem anything be did an unpardonable offence. He had always laughed at the convention­ alities of European life, and had paid very little heed to them when they stood in his way. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Opinions of Others.
