They were followed to the cave by the • girl's relatives, who blocked up the en- wance, and drew off the water supply, waving the couple to die. Baraka'a cousin •aad, her betrothed, attempted to climll •own a cliff overlooking the mine; but •we traveler shot him. The stranger waft Vevived from a water gourd Saad ear­ ned, due his way out of the tunnel, an4 departed, deserting the girl and carrying • bag of rubies. Baraka gathered all th» g»»* she could carry, and started in pur- •Mit. Margaret Donne (Margarita da Osrdova), a famous prima donna, became engaged In London to Konstantin Lo-etheti, a wealthy Qreek financier. Her tlmatc friend was Countess T^even, known as tA<iy Maud, whose husband «»d been killed by a bomb in St. Peters- jjurg; and Lady Maud's most intimate friend was Rufus Van Torp, an Ameri­ can, who had become one of the richest •Ben In the world. Van Torp was in love *»th Margaret, and rushed to London as Mon as he heard of her betrothal. H« Offered Lady Maud $5,000,000 for her pet Charity if she would aid him in winning we singer from Logotheti.' Baraka ap­ proached Logotheti at Versailles with rubies to sell. He presented a ruby .to Margaret. Van Torp bought a yacht and ••nt it to Venice. He was visited by •araka in male attire. She gave him a ruby after the American had told her of having seen in the United States a man Uswering the description of the one she wved. 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 ICraHnsky, a Russian, arrived, at Bayreuth. Van Torp believed htm 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 Logothsti's associa­ tions with Baraka were open to suspi­ cion. and so Informed Margaret. Mr. Van Torp raised his hat when he was within four or lire paces of the ladies, and his companion, who **s * head and shoulders taller than he, slackened his pace and stopped a little way behind him as Mrs. Rush- more shook hands and Margaret nodded pleasantly. "May I present Count Kralinsky?" asked the American. 'Tre met him before, and we've just renewed our acquaintance." Mr. Van Twrp looked from Mrs. Rushmore to Margaret, and tried to see her expression through her veil. She answered his look by a very slight inclination of the head. "We shall be delighted," said the elder lady, speaking for both. Mr. Van Torp introduced the count to Mrs. Rushmore and then to Mar­ garet, calling her "Mies Donne/' and she saw that the man w£,s handsome as well as tall and stmmg. He had • magnificent golden btlrd, a clear complexion, and rather uncertain blue eyes, in one of which he wore a sin­ gle eyeglass without a string. He was quietly dressed and wore no jew­ elry, excepting one ring, In which biased a large "tallow-topped" ruby. He had the unmistakable air of a man of the world, and was perfectly at his ease. When he raised his straw hat he disclosed a very white forehead. "What fa itr alio asked in a low tone. "I believe he's my old friend from whom I learned to whistle 'Parsifal,'" answered-the American. "I'm pretty sure of it, to spite of a good many years and a beard--two things that change a man. See his walk? See how he turns his toes in? Most cow­ boys walk like that."; "How very odd that you should meet again!" Margaret was surprised, but not deeply interested by this new development. "Well," said Van Torp thoughtful­ ly. "If I'd known I was going to meet him somewhere, I'd have said this waa as likely a place as any to find him in, now that I know what it was he whistled. But I admit that the other matter has more to it. I won­ der what would happen il I asked him about Miss Barrack?** "Nothing," Margaret answered con­ fidently. "Nothing would happen. He has never heard of her.** Van Torp's sharp eyes tried 1m vais to penetrate the veil. "That's not quite clear," he ob­ served. "Or else this isn't aty good day." "The girl fooled you," said Marga­ ret to a low voice. "Did she mention his name to you?" "Well no--" "She never saw him M her life, er if she ever did, it was she who robbed him of rubies; and it was not the oth­ er way, as you supposed. Men are generally inclined to believe whet a nice-looking girl tells them!" "That's true," Van Torp admitted. CHAPTER VIII.--Continued. Without further consulting Marga­ ret, who had seated herself before the dressing-table, Potts proceeded to fasten a broad-brimmed black straw hat on the thick brown hair; she then spread an immense white veil over it, drew it under her mistress' chin and knotted it in a way that would have amazed a seaman. When Margaret was patting on her glpves, Mrs. Rushmore herself came to the door, knocked and opened dis­ creetly before there was any answer "My dear child," she asked, "what kl the world is the matter? Nothing serious, I trust?" "Oh, nothing," Margaret answered, going forward to meet her, and find­ ing her natural voice. "I'm sorry if Tve kept you waiting." "It's so unlike you, my dear," Mrs. Rushmore said, with emphasis; "and Potts looked quite grave when she brought me your message hall an hour •go" "You would have been more sur­ prised if she had burst out laughing," Margaret said viciously. "My dear," Mrs. Rushmore an­ swered, "I'm astonished at you! I know someth^pg has happened. I know it. You Are not yourself this morning." This was a statement so evidently absurd that it could not be answered except by a flat contradiction; so Margaret said nothing, and went on working her hand into a perfectly new glove. "I see that you have not even opened your letters," Mrs. Rushmore continued severely. "Except that," she added, noticing the loose sheets of Lady Maud's letter on the toilet- table. Margaret gathered them up hastily, folded them into a crumpled package and thrust them into the empty en­ velope. For onoe, she had forgotten her eaution, but she retrieved herself by pushing the thick letter into her long glove, much to Potts' distress, for Jt made an ugly lump. She made It worse by farcing in the second envelope, which contained the news­ paper cutting. Tm ready nww," she said. Mrs. Rushmore turned and led the way with stately steps; she was al­ ways imposing, but when she was of­ fended she was monumental. The two went out in silence, and walkly slowly down the straight, dull street side by side. Mrs. Rushmore spoke first, aft­ er they had gone some distance. "I know," she said, "that something has happened. It was in that letter. Tou cannot deny it, Margaret It was In the letter you folded in thM hur­ ried manner." "The news was," answered the prima donna, still vleious. "I told you so. My dear child, it's not of the slightest use to try to de­ ceive me. I've known you since you were a child." 'Tm not trying to deceive you." "When I asked what had happened, you answered, 'Nothing.' I do not *»»" that very frank, do you?" "Potts was there, to begin," ex­ plained Margaret crossly. But Mrs. Rushmore no longer heard. Her head was up, her parasol lay back upon her shoulder, her faded eyes were brighter than before, and the be­ ginning of a social smile wreathed her hitherto grave lips, "There's Mr. Van Torp, my dear," she said in quite another tone, and *ery Iqw, "and unless I'm much mis­ taken--yes i knew it! He's with Count Kmlinsky. I saw the count from the window yesterday when he arrived. I hope our friend will pre­ sent him." "I dare s*y," Margaret answered in­ differently, but surveying the two men through the white mist of her thick veil. "Yes," said Mrs. Rushmore with de­ light, and almost whispering In her excitement "He has seen us, and now he's telling the count who we are." Margaret was used to her excellent old friend f ways on such occasions, »and gave no more heed to them than Bhe would have given to a kitten scampering after a ball of string. The kitten would certainly catch the ball In the end, and Mrs. Rushmore would * .* v V * If** *&&&£* L / 114 / seemed te be eat ef the logical se­ quence. "She hits done more ttft a fin- gar now," Margaret said. "Has she ofTended you?" Van Torp vestured to ask, for he did not under­ stand the constant subtone et anger he* heard in her voice. "I know she would not mean to do that" "No. Tou don't understand. Tve telegraphed to ask her to Join us here." Van Torp was really surprised new, and his face showed it "I wish we were somewhere alone," Margaret continued. "1 mean, eut of the way of Mrs. Rushmore. She knows nothing about all this, but she sew me cramming the letters into my glove, and I cannot possibly let her see me giving them to yon." "Oh, well, let me think," said the millionaire. "I guess I want to buy some photographs of Bayreuth and the 'Parsifal' characters in that shop, there on the right, Suppose you wait outside the door, so that Mrs. Rush- more can see you if she turns around. She'll understand that I'm inside. If you drop your parasol towards her you can g»t the letters out can't yeu? Then as I come out you can just pass them to me behind the parasol, and we'll go on. How's that? It won't take one second, anyhow. You can make believe your glove's uncomfor­ table, and you're fitting it if anybody you know comes out of the shop. Will that do? Here we are. Shall I go in?" "Yes. Don't be long! I'll cough when I'm ready." The operation succeeded, and the more ea- ly as Mrs. Rushmore went quietly on without turning her head, being absorbed and charmed by Kra- linsky's conversation. "You may as well read the news­ paper cutting now," Margaret said when they had' begun to walk again. "That cannot attract attention, even if she does look round, and it explains a good many things. It's in the thin­ ner envelope, of course." Van Torp fumbled in the pocket of his jacket, and brought out the slip of newspaper without the envelope, a precaution which Margaret noticed and approved. She watched him Intently while he fully. "I forgbt that" "And if she had the other stone, she had stolen it from Mons. Logo­ theti, I have not the least doubt" "I daresay," replied the millionaire. Tm not her attorney. I'm not trying to defend her. I was only thinking. "She was at his house in Paris, Margaret said, quite unable to keep her own counsel now* "It was when I was at Versailles." "You don't say so! Are y«* sure of that?" "He admitted it when I was talking to him through the telephone, and I heard her speaking to him to a lan­ guage I did not understand." "EMd you really? Well, well!" Mr. Van Torp was beginning to be pus- •led again. "Nice voice, hasn't she?" "Yes. He tried to make me think he wasn't sure whether the creature was a boy or a girl." "Maybe he wasn't sure himself," suggested the American, but the tone In which she had spoken the word "creature" had not escaped him. He was really trying to put the case in a fair light, and was not at all maneuvering to ascertain her state of mind. That was clear enough now. How far she might go he could not tell, but what she had just said, coupled with the way in which she spoke of the man to whom she was engaged as "Mons. Logotheti," made ft quite evident that she was pro­ foundly incensed against him, and Van Torp became more than ever anxiou not to do anything underhand. "Look here," he said, "I'm going to tell you something. I took a sort of interest in that Tartar girl the only time I saw her. I don't know why. I dare say I was taken in by her-- Just ordinary 'taken in,' like a tender­ foot. I gave her that fellow's ad­ dress in New York." He nodded to­ wards Kralinsky. "When I found he was here, I wired Logotheti to tell her, since she's after him. I suppose I thought Logotheti would go right CLIP THIS OUT Renowned Doctor's Prescription fir Rheumatism and Backache, "One ounce Syrup Sarsaparilla com.

There was no sign of approaching middle age in his face or figure, but Margaret felt or guessed, that he was older than he looked. In her stiffly correct French, Mrs. Rushmore said that she was en­ chanted to make his acquaintance, and Margaret murmured sweetly but unintelligibly "The count speaks English perfect­ ly," observed Mr. Van Torp. He ranged himself beside Margaret, leaving the foreigner to Mrs. Rush- more, much to her gratification. "We were going to walk," she said. "Will you join us ?" And she moved on. "It is a great pleasure to meet you," Kralinsky said by way of opening the conversation. "I have often heard of you from friends in Paris. Your little dinners at Versailles are fa­ mous all over Europe. ' I am sure we have many mutual friends, though you may never have heard my name." Mrs. Rushmore was visibly pleased, and as the way was not very wide, Margaret and Van Torp dropped be­ hind. They soon heard the other two enumerating their acquaintances. Kra­ linsky was surprised at the number of Mrs. Rushmore's friends, but the count seemed to know everybody, from all the grand dukes and arch­ dukes in Russia, Qermany, and Aus­ tria. to the author of the latest suc- "But all the same, I don't quite under­ stand you. There's a meaning in your voice that's not in the words. Bxcuse me if I'm not quick enough this morn­ ing, please. I'm doing my best" "Your friend Baraka has been ar­ rested and sent to prison in London for stealing a very valuable ruby from the counter in Pinney's," Marga­ ret explained. "The stone had just been taken there by Mons. Logotheti to he cut. The girl Bust have fol­ lowed him without his knowing it, and watched her chance, though how old Pinney can have left such a thing lying on the counter where any one could take it is simply incomprehen­ sible. That's what you heard in my voice when I said that men are credu /ous." Mr. Van Torp thought he' had heard even more to her accent when she had pronounced Logothett's name. Be­ sides, she generally called him "Logo," as all his friends did. The American said nothing for a moment, but he glanced repeatedly at the white veil, through which he saw her handsome features without their expression. "Well," he said at last, almost to himself, for he hardly expected her to understand the language of his sur­ prise, "that beats the band!" "It really is rather odd, you know," responded Margaret who understood perfectly. "If you think I've adorned % \v ̂ to start too high up in your estima­ tion and then be turned down as unfit foi" the position at the end of the first week. Put me where I belong and I won't disappoint you. Say I was doing something that wasn't ex­ actly low-down, considering the ob­ ject, but that mightn't pass muster at an honor parade, anyhow. And then say that I've admitted the fact if you like, and that the better I know you the less I want to do anything mean. It won't be hard for you to look at it to that light, will it? And it'll give me the position of starting from the line. Is that right?" "Yes," Margaret answered, smiling. "Slang 'right' and English 'right!' Ton ask for a fair field and no favor, and you shall have it" "I'll go straight," Van Torp an­ swered. "I suppose Lady Maud will come, won't she?" he asked suddenly, after a short silence. "I hope so," Margaret said. "If not she will meet me in Paris, for she of­ fers to do that in her letter." "I'm staying on in this place he- cause you said you didn't mind." ob­ served Van Torp. "Do you want me to go away if she arrives?" "Why should I? Why shouldn't yon stay?" "Oh, I don't know. I was only think­ ing. Much obliged anyway, • and I'll certainly stay if you don't object We shall be quite a party, shan't we? What with us three, and Lady Maud and Kralinsky there--" Mrs. Rushmore and Kralinsky had stopped in their walk and were wait­ ing for them. They quickened their pace. "I thought perhaps this was far enough," said Mrs. Rushmore. "Of course I could go on further, and It's not your usual walk, my dear, but un­ less you mind--" Margaret did not mind, and said se readily; whereupon Mrs. Rushmore deliberately took Van Torp for her companion on the way back. 'Tm sure you won't object to walk­ ing slowly," she said to him, "and Miss Donne and the count can go as fast as they like, for they are both good walkers.

In the rear Mr. Van Torp and tke prima donna were not talking; but he looked at her, she looked at him, they both looked at Kralinsky's back, and then they once more looked at each other and nodded; which meant that Van Torp had recognized the man he had met selling rubies in New York, and that Margaret understood this. "'I'll tell you something else that's quite funny, If you don't mind drop­ ping a little further behind," he said.

I dare say you'd smile if I told you that I asked her to help me to get you to change your mind." "No," Margaret answered, turning slowly to look at him, "She tells me so in this letter." "Does she really?" Van Torp had guessed as much, and had wished to undermine the surprise he supposed that Margaret had in store for him. "That's just like her straightforward way of doing things. She told me frankly that she wouldn't lift a finger to influence you. However, it can't be helped. I suppose." 1 •V n...

He finished reading, folded the slip carefully, and put in into his pocket-book instead of return­ ing it to the envelope. "It does look queer," he said slowly. "Now let me aak you one thing, but don't answer me unless you like. It's not mere lnquisitiveness on my part." As Margaret said nothing, though he waited a moment for her answer, he went on. "That ruby, now--I suppose it's to be cut for you, isn't It?" "Yes. He gave it to me la Versail­ les, and I kept it some days. Then he asked me to let him have It to to London when I came here." "Just so. Thank you. One more question, if I may. That stone I gave you, I swear I don't know that it's not glass--anyhow, that stone, does it lock at all like tke one that was stolen?" "Oh, no! It's quite another shape and siae. Why do you ask? I don't quite see." "What * mean Is, if these people are around selling rubies, there may be two very much alike, that's all." "Well, if there were? What of it?" "Suppose -- I'm only supposing, mind, that the girl really had another stone about her a good deal like the one that was stolen, and that some­ body else was the thief. Queer things like that have happened before." "Yes.

It was mean of me, wasn't it? That's why I've told you. You see, I didn't know anything about all this, and that makes It meaner still, doesn't it?" Possibly if he had told her these facts 41 hours earlier Bhe might have been annoyed, but at present they seemed to be rather in his favor. At all events he was frank, she thought He declared war on his rival, and meant to fight acoording to the law of nations. Lady Maud would not be his friend if he were playing any double game, but she had stuck to him throughout his trouble in the spring, he had emerged victorious and rein- stated in public opinion, and she had j ments. been right. Lady Maud knew him I better than any one else, and she J was a good woman, if there ever was one. Yet he had accused himself of hav- 'ing acted "meanly." Margaret did not like the word, and threw up her head as a horse does when a beginner holds on by the curb. "Yeu need not make yourself -oat worse than you are," she answered. "I want to start fair," said the mil­ lionaire, "and I'd rather your impres­ sion should improve than get worse. The only real trouble with Lucifer was he started too high up." This singular statement was made with perfect gravity, and without tke slightest humorous intention, but Mar­ garet laughed for the first time that day, in spite of the storm that was still raging in the near distance of her thoughts.
