Baraka's cousin Baad, her betrothoS. att*t»»t«d to climb flown a cliff overlooking the mine; but the traveler shot him. The stranger was revived from a water gourd Saad car- fled, dug his way out cf the tunnel, and departed, deserting the girl and carrying 4 bag of rubies. Baraka gathered all the gems she could carry, and started in pur- Wilt. Margaret Donne (Margarita da Cordova), a famous prima donna, became •ligagred . In Lejidon to Konstantin Lo- jpotheti, a wealthy Greek financier. Her Jgttimate friend was Countess Leven, fcncwn as I^ady Maud, whose husband fenad been killed7 by a bomb in St. Peters­ burg; and Lady Maud's lyost Intimate friend %as Rufus Van Torp. an Ameri­ can, who had become one of th^, richest <<6en ih the world. Van Torp was in love With Margaret, and rushed to London as OOon as he heard of her betrothal. He differed Lady Maud $5,000,000 for her pet USharity if she would aid him in winning the singer from Logotheti. Baraka ap- -f^roached Logotheti at Versailles with rubies to sell. He presented a ruby to Margaret. Van Torp bought a yacht and Sent it to Venice. He was visited by JBaraka in male attire. She gave him a yuby after the American had told her of •Ijaving 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- Caret took a liking to Van Torp, who pre­ sented her with the ruby Baraka had 0iven 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 flarge of stealing from Pinney, a Jew-er, the ruby she had sold to Logotheti. wo strangers were the thieves. CHAPTER VIi--continued. •"But* after he was gone, Spiro was heard calling loudly, though not rude­ ly or violently, from his place of con­ finement. "Mr. Policeman! Mr. Pottceman! Please come speak!" , v' The man on duty went to the door great many sergeants* names, and do­ ing kind things for their wives at Christmas time, which further dis­ posed them to help her in her work. But the London police are by nature the kindliest set of men who keep order anywhere in the world, and they will readily help a man or wom­ an who tries to do good in a sensible, practical way; and if they are some­ times a little prejudiced in favor of their own perspicuity in getting up a case, let that policeman, of any other country, who is quite without fault, throw the first stone at their brave, good-natured heads. Logotheti was not at his lodgings in St. James' place* and from each of two clubs to which the officer tele­ phoned rather at random, the only an­ swer was that be was a member but not in the house. The officer wrote a line to his rooms and sent it by a messenger, to be given to him as soon as he came in. It was late in the hot afternoon when Mrs. Foxwell answered the mes­ sage by coming to the police station herself. She was at once admitted to Baraka's cell and the door was closed after her. The girl was lying on Che pallet bed, dressed in a poor calico skirt and a loose white cotton jacket, which Mrs. Mowle had brought and had insisted that-she must put on; and her man's clothes had been taken from her with all her other belongings. She Sat up, forlorn, pale and lovely, as the kind visitor entered and stood beside her. "Poor child!" exclaimed the lady, touched by her sad eyes. "What can I do to help you?** Baraka shook her head, for she did not understand. Then aha looked up into eyes almost as beautiful as her own, and pronounced a name, slowly and so distinctly that H was impos­ sible not to hear each syllable. 7 ' Sha Grasped Lady Maud's Arm. and asked what he wanted. In his broken English he explained very clearly that Baraka had a friend in London who was one of the great of the earth, and who would certainly prove her innocence, vouch for her character, and cause her to be set at large without delay, if he knew of her trouble. "What is the gentleman's name?" Inquired the policeman. '•"* The name of Baraka's friend was Konstantin Logotheti, and Spiro knew {fee address of the lodgings he always , J; ,. , %ept in St. James' place. \ "Very well," said the policeman.

The sergeant looked surprised whan message was given to him. v "Queer case this," he observed. • "^V^Here'B the thief appealing to the -•^'fjjwner of the stolen property for help; find the owner la one of those million- - vjiire financiers; and the thief is a love- ' fr girl In man's clothes.

The lady started, as well ahe might; for she was no other than Lady Maud, who called herself by her own family name, "Mrs. Foxwell," in her work amongst the poor women of London. Baraka saw the quick movement and understood that Logotheti was well known to her visitor. She grasped Lady Maud's arm with both her small hands, and looked up to her face with a beseeching look that could not be misunderstood. She wished theti and had followed him from Con-} their innocence all the white la elo- Quvut uut utSjOmtcu until Id tOld tO iiuiu tiib vUH£\ie. Further, Lady Maud read the po­ lice court report la an evening paper, cut It out and sent it to Margaret as a document confirming the letter she had posted on the previous evening; and owing to the same insufficiency in the address, tha two miasives were delivered together. Lastly, Mr. Pinney took the big ruby back to his shop and locked it up in his safe with a satisfaction and a sense of profound relief such as he had rarely felt in a long and honorable lite; and he would have been horri­ fied and distressed beyond words if he could have even guessed that he had been the means of sending an inno­ cent and helpless girl to prison. One thing more which concerns this tale happened on that same day. Two well-dressed men drov« up to the door of a quiet and very respectable hotel in the West end; and they asked for their bill, and packed their belong­ ings, which were sufficient though not numerous; and when they had paid what they owed and given the usual tips, they told the porter to call two hansoms, and each had his things put on one of them; and they nodded to each other and parted; and one han­ som drove to Euston and the other to Charing Cross; and whether they ever met again, I do not know, and it does not matter; but in order to clear Baraka's character at once and to avoid a useless and perfectly trans­ parent mystery, it is as well to say directly that it was the young man who drove to Euston, on his way to Liverpool and New York, who had Logotheti's ruby sewn up in his waist­ coat pocket; and that the ruby really belonged to Margaret, since Logotheti had already given it to her, before he had brought it to Mr. Pinney to be cut and set. But the knowledge of what is here imparted to the reader, who has already'guessed this much of the truth, would $bt help Baraka out of Brixton jail, where the poor girl found herself in very bad company indeed; even worse, perhaps, than that in which Spiro was obliged to spend his time, DU|/|/ui nug uor Scii Mlaii helT COuipaiiluu w/ SiOoiiuQ on the way. Lady Maud's husband had been a brute, but he knew the east tolerably well, having done some military duty in the Caucasus before he entered the diplomatic service; his stories had chiefly illustrated the pro­ found duplicity of all Asiatics, and she had not seen any reason to dis­ believe them. When Spiro had nothing more to say, therefore, she rose from the only seat there was and shook her head with an air of utter incredulity, min­ gled with the sort of pitying contempt she felt for all lying in general. She could easily fellow the case, by the help of the sergeant and the police court reports, and she might be able to help Baraka hereafter when the girl had served the sentence she would certainly get for such an im­ portant and cleverly managed theft. The poor girl implored and wept In vain; Lady Maud could do nothing, and would not stay to be told any more insane stories about ruby mines in Tartary. She called the sergeant, freed herself from Baraka's despair­ ing hold on her hand and went out And when she thought of what must have gone before, and of the part Lo­ gotheti had almost certainly played in the girl's life, her anger was roused, and she sat down and wrote to Margaret on the impulse of the mo­ ment. She gave a detailed account of her experience at the police station, including especially a description of the way Baraka had behaved in tryjing to send a message to Logotheti. "I tell you quite frankly," Lady Maud wrote in conclusion^ "that my friend Mr. .Van Torp has begged me very urgently to use any friendly in fluence T may possess, to induce you to reconsider your engagement, be­ cause he hopes that you will accept him instead. Tou will not think any less well of him for that. A man may ask his best friend to help him to marry the .girl he is In love with« I am sure! I told him that I would not do anything to make trouble between you and Logo. If I am making trou­ ble now, by writing all this, it is there­ fore not to help Mr. Van Torp, but be­ cause the Impression I have had about Logo has really frightened me, for you. I made such a wretched fail­ ure of my own married life that I have some right to warn a friend who seems to be on the point of doing just the same thing. You have a right to be sure that the man you marry is quite free, and that you won't sud­ denly meet a lovely eastern girl of 20 who claims him after you think he is yours; and your friend has a right to warn you, if ahe feels sure that he is mixed up In some affair that isn't over yet. "I don't know where Logo is, but if he were near enough I should go to him and tell him what 1 think. Of course he is not In town now--No­ body is. and IVe only stayed on to clear everything out of my house, now that I'm giving it up. I suppose he is with you, though you said you did not want him at Bayreuth! Show blm this letter if you like, for I'm quite ready to face him if'he's angry at my interference. I would even join you in Paris, if you wanted me, for I have nothing to do and strange to say I have a little money! I've sold almost all my furniture, you know, so I'm not such a total pauper as usual. But in any case answer this, please, and tell me that I have done right, or wrong, just as you feel about it--and then we will go on be­ ing friends, or say good-by, whichever you decide." ^ Lady Maud signed this leng letter and addressed it to Miss Margaret Donne, at Bayreuth, feeling sure that it would be delivered, even without the name of the hotel, which she did not know. But the Bayreuth post- office was overworked during the lim­ ited time of the performances, and it happened that the extra assistant through whose hands the letter passed for distribution either did hot know that Miss Donne was the famous Cor­ dova, or did not happen to remember the hotel at which she was stopping, or both, and It got pigeon-holed under D, to be called for. The consequence was that Margaret did not receive it until the morning after the perform­ ance of "Parsifal" to which she had taken Van Torp, though it had left London only six hours after him; for such things will happen evtn in ex­ tremely well-managed countries when people send letters insufficiently ad­ dressed. Furthermore, ft also happened that Logotheti was cooling himself on the deck of his yatch in the neighborhood of Penzance, while poor Baraka was half-stifled in the police station. FV>r the yacht, which was a very comfor­ table one, though no longer new, and not very fast according to modern ideas, was at Cowes, waiting to be wanted, and when her owner parted A NEW TOWN EVERY WEEK CHAPTER VIII, Logotheti to be informed of her cap­ tivity, and was absolutely confident! from Van Torp after promising to 'Vdf V" that he would help her out of her trouble. Lady Maud was less sure of that, however, and said so, but it was soon clear that Baraka did not speak a word of any language known to Lady Maud, who was no great linguist at best. Under these circum­ stances it looked as if there were nothing to be done for the poor girl, who made all sorts of signs of dis­ tress, when she saw that the English woman was about to leave her, in sheer despair of being of any use. Just then, however, the sergeant came to the door, and informed the visitor that the girl had an accomplice who spoke her language and knew some English, and that by stretching a point he would bring the man, if Mrs. Fox- well wished to talk with him. The result was that in less than half an hour, Lady Maud heard from Spiro a most extraordinary tale, of which she did not believe a aingle word. To her plain English mind it all seemed perfectly mad at first, and on reflection she thought it an out­ rageous^, attempt to play upon her credulity; whereas she was thorough­ ly convinced that the girl had coma *o in imp* dine on the next day but one, it oc­ curred to him that the amell of the wood pavements was particularly nasty, that it would make no real dif­ ference whether he returned to Pin­ ney's at once or In two days, or two weeks, since the ruby he had left must be cut before it was mounted, and that he might just as well take the fast train to Southampton and get to sea for 36 houra This he did, after telegraphing his sailing-master to hare steam as soon as possible; and as he had only just time to reftch the Waterloo station he did not evftn take the trouble to stop at his lodgings. He needed no luggage, for he had everything he wanted on boaid, and his man was far too well used to his ways to be surprised at his absence. The consequence of this was that when Baraka's case came up the -text morning there was no one to pay a word for her and Spiro. Mr. Pinney identified the ruby "to the best of his belief' as the one stolen from his counter, the fact that Baraka had been disguised in man's clothing was treated as additional evidence, and she and Spiro were sent to Brixton •flamiingia .SniK nrntaatinf Margaret received her friend's let ter and the account of Baraka's trial by the same post on the morning aft er she and Mr. Van Torp had been to hear "Parsifal" together, and she opened the two envelopes before read­ ing her other tetters, though after as­ suring herself that there was nothing from Logotheti. She read the newspaper cutting first, supposing that It contained something flattering about herself, for she had been a little short of public admiration for nearly a fortnight. Ba­ raka's case was reported with the rather brutal simplicity which charac terizes such accounts in the English paper's, and Logotheti's name ap­ peared in Mr. Pinney's evidence. There had been the usual "laughter, duly noted by the stenographer, when the poor girl's smart man's clothes were produced before the magistrate by the policeman who had arrested her. The magistrate had made a few stern remarks when ordering the de­ linquents to prison, and had called Baraka "hardened" because she did not burst into tears. That was all, and there were barely five-and-twenty lines of small print. But tbe prima donna bit her hand­ some lip and her eyes sparkled with anger, as she put the cutting back into the first envelope, and took the folded letter out of the other. The girl had not only stolen a ruby, but it was Margaret's ruby, her very own, the one Logotheti had given her for her engagement, and . which she had insisted upon having set as a ring, though it would cover more than half the, space between her knuckle and the joint of her third finger. Further, it had been stolen by tha very girl from whom Logotheti had pretended that he had bought it, a fact which cast the high light of absurdity on his unlikely story! It was natural enough that she should have seen it, and should have known that he was tak­ ing It to Pinney's, and that she should have been able to prepare a little screw of paper with a bit of glass inside, to substitute for it. The im­ probabilities of such an explanation did not occur to Margaret, who saw only the glaring fact that the hand­ some Tartar girl had accompanied Logotheti, between London and Paris, disguisbed as a man, and had ulti­ mately robbed him, as he richly de­ served. She had imposed upon Van Torp, too,. and had probably tried to sell him the very stone she had stolen from Logotheti, and the one she had made him take as a gift was nothing but a bit of glass, as said It might be, for all ho knew. She devoured Lady 1laodvS (titter la a few moments, and then read it twice again, which took so long that Mrs. Rushmore sent Justine to tell Potts to ask if Miss Donne did not mean to go out that morning, though the weather was so fine. Great singers generally develop a capacity for flying into rages, even if they have not been born with hot tempers. It is very bad for the voice, but it seems to be a part of the life. Margaret was very angry, and Potts became as meek and mild as a little lamb* when she saw the storm signals in her mistress' face. She delivered her message In a pathetic and op­ pressed tone, Ilka a child reciting the collect for the day at a Sunday school. The prima donna, imposing as a young lioness, walked slowly back­ wards and forwards between her win­ dow and the foot of the iron bed­ stead. There was an angry light in her eyes and instead of flushing, as her cheeks did for any ordinary fit of temper, they were as white as wax. Potts, who was a small woman, seemed to shrink and become visibly smaller as shg stood waiting for an answer. Suddenly the lioness stood still and surveyed the poor little jack- "Ask Mrs. Rushmore if she can wait half an hour," shil said. "I'm very angry; Potts, and it's not your fault, so keep out of the way." Margaret's wrath did not subside quickly, and as it could not spend itself on any immediate object, it made her feel as if she were in a raging fever. Her temples throbbed, her houas trembled and were as hot as fire, her lips were drawn and parched, and when she caught sight of herself in the looking-glass she saw that she was quite white and that her eyes were bloodshot. But she was really a sensible Eng­ lish girl, although she was so very angry "This is ridiculous!" she said aloud, with emphasis. "I won't be so silly!" Ami she sat down id try and* think quietly. irwas not so easy. A Tartar girl indeed! More probably a handsome Greek. It was no wonder that they had suc­ ceeded in deceiving her for a while, the two orieutals together! They had actually made Rufus Van Torp be­ lieve their story, which must have been a Very different matter from ly­ ing to a credulous young woman who had let herself fall in love! But for her friend Lady Maud she would still be their victim. Her heart went out to the woman who had saved her from her fate, and with the thought came the impulse to send a message of gratitude; and the first fury of her anger subsided with the impulse to do so. By and by it would cool and har­ den to a lasting resentment that would not soften again. Her hand still shook so that she could hardly hold the pen steady while she wrote the telegram.

Ths statement was made not long since by a railroad man who claimed to tta*» made the remarkable discovery th^t such was the case. There is not s | district of a fair amount of settle­ ment in any of the three Provinces of 11 Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, but has its school, and the railways ' have stations every seven or eight miles apart, around which group the . f| towns, some large and some small, v but each important to its own district. Schools are largely maintained by pub­ lic funds and the expense of tuition li but a nominal sum. The final returns of the grain duction for Central Canada for 1909 &I now in, and the figures show that the value of the crops to the farmers of that country is about 195 million dol­ lars, as compared with 120 million last year. American farmers or those who have gone from the United States, win participate largely in these splendid returns, and these comprise those who have gone from nearly every State In the Union. One of the many proofs that might be put forward showing the immense wealth that comes to the farmers of Central Canada is Been in the suil thai has been spent during the past two or three months by the farmers who have for the time being ceased worrying over the reaper and tbe thresher, and are taking to enjoying themselves for two or three months. It Is said that fifty thousand people of these Western Provinces spent the holiday season visiting their old homes. Most of these passengers paid forty and some forty-five dollars for the round trip. Some went to Grant Britain, some to the Continent, others to their old homes in Eastern Canada, and many thousands went to visit their friends in the States.
