Lady Maud found Mr.. Van Torn
waiting for her at the Bayreuth sta

You don't mean to say you've

igrasped her hand You're as fresh

F'Ihats rather dangerous thing to
say to woman nowadays" she an
swered in her ripping voice. "But
mine won't come off. How is Marga-
ret?"
Her tone changed as she asked the
question
She showed me your letter about
Logo answered her friend without
needing the question, and watching
her face to see if she were surprised.
She got into the carriage he had
brought, and he stood by the door
waiting for the porter, who was get
ting her luggage. She had no maid
with her.
I'm glad you have told me-" she
answered though I wish she had
not. You probably think that when
wrote that letter I remembered what
you said to me in London about Civ
ing me money for my poor women"
NMo," said Van Torp thoughtfully.
Il don't believe | do think so. 1t was
like me to make the offer, Maud. It
was like the sort of man I've been.
and you've known me. But it wouldn't
have been like you to accept it. 1t
wasn't exactly low-down of me to saw
what I did, but it's so precious like
low-down that I wouldn't say it again,
and suppose I'm sorry. That's all"
His rough hand was on the side of
the little open carriage. She touched
it lightly with her gloved fingers and
withdrew them instantly, for the por-
ter was coming with her not very
voluminous luggage.
Thank YOU" she said quickly. 81
understood, and | understand now"
They drove slowly up the Bahnhof-
strasse, through the dull little town,
that looks so thoroughly conscious of
its ancient responsibility as having
once been the 'residenz" of duke of
Wurtemburg, and of its vast impor-
lance as the headquarters of Richard
Wagner's representatives on earth.
See here" said Mr.. Van Torp.

taking plenty of time over the mono

, ny ourselves.
And l don't suppose" returned
Lady Maud, mimicking him ever SO
little, that if they decide not to
come, you will have time for a long
| cruise"
Now that's not fair" objected the
American. 81 didn't intend to put it
IN that way. Anyhow, will you come
II they do? That's the point"
Really, 1t depends a little on who
they are. Do you mean only Marga.
ret and that nice old friend of her
Mrs. Patmore, isn't she? I never met
| her"
"Rushmore," said Van Torp, correct
ing her. Then there's the Russian
Count kralinsky. Ever hear that
nams?"
Never. 1t sounds Polish"
He might be anything. Sometimes
IN absolutely sure he's a man ] used
TO know out west when I was on the
ranch, and then again there's some
thing quite different about him. Some
thing about his legs or his eyes. I
can't tell which, l don't quite make
him OUT
They reached the hotel, and Van
Iorp went off promptly, leaving Mar
garet to take Lady Maud upstairs
and introduce her to Mrs. Rushmore.
An hour later the two young wom-
en- were together in Margaret's room.
While Potts was unpacking for Lady
Maud in the one that had been Sc
cured for her in spite of all sorts of
difficulties.
The prima donna was sitting at her
toilet table, turned away from the
glass, and Lady Maud occupied the
only possible tnair there was. a small.
low easy chair, apparently much too
small for such tall woman, but less
uncomfortable than it looked.
Are you going on Mr.. Van Torps
yacht?' asked Lady Maud suddenly.
He spoke to me about it on the way
from the station, and asked me to
come, in case you accept"
81 don't know. Will you go if I do?
That might make a difference"
Lady Maud did not answer at once.
She wished that she knew how mat
tiers had gone between Margaret and
Van Torp during the last few days,
for she sincerely wished to help him,
now that she had made up her mind
as to Logotheti's real character.
Nevertheless, her love of fair play
made her feel that the Greek ought
to be allowed a chance of retrieving
himself
Yes" she said at last, I'll go, on
one condition. At least, it's not a
condition, my dear; it's only a sug-
gestion, though l hate to make one.
Don't think me too awfully cheeky,
will you?"
Margaret shook her head, but looked
very grave.
81 feel as if l were getting into a
bad scrape," she said, land I shall be
only too glad of any good advice. Tell
me what ! had better do"

She told Margaret all that has been
already narrated, concerning the news
that Baraka had been set at large on

friendly way, and he thought a mo-
ment and made an effort to recollect.
and then he seemed quite pleased to
| remember that I'd been Fanny and
ned been Levi Longlegs. and that he
used to whistle things out of 'Parsifar
by the fire of an evening"
"Well-but in that case" Marga-
ret stopped with an inquiring look
Just so,' continued Van Torp, nod
dlng. Did you ever attend trial
and hear a witness being cross-ex-
amined by a lawyer who wants him to
remember something, and he wants to
remember it himself. but can't be-
cause he never heard of it before in
mis- life? It's quite funny. The law
yer makes steps for him and puts his
feet into them so that he gets along
nicely. unless the Judge happens to
wake up and kick, and then the little
game stops right there, and somebody
laughs. Well, my talk with Kralinsky
was like that. only there was no
Judge, SO he went away happy; and
were old friends now, and punched
COWS on the same ranch, and he's
coming on my yacht. / only wonder
why he was so anxious to remember
all that, and why he thought it would
De kind of friendly If | called him
Levi Longlegs again, and he called
me Fanny Cook. I wonder. He says
he's still very fond of 'Parsifal,' and
came on purpose to hear it, but that
he's completely forgotten how to Wits
tie. That's funny, too. just thought
Id tell you, because if you come on
my yacht and he comes, too, you're
liable TO see quite good deal of one
another"
Did you tell him that Mrs. Rush

asked. And Lady Maud?"
why, no. You've not promised yet,

when we talked about it, so how

You seem amused" observed Mr..
Van Torp.

your pretending to forget such
thing"
1T wasn't quite true that forgot,
but / wanted to, so I didn't say any

in that way. I don't choose to leave

Logotheti's sworn statement that the
ruby was not his, and that he had
seen it in her possession in Paris:
and she told how she had tried to find
him at his lodgings, and had failed,
and how strangely the leather-faced
secretary's answers had struck her,
and how she had seen Baraka's gloves
and stick in Logotheti's hall; and
finally she said she had taken it into
her head that Logotheti had spirited
away the Tartar girl on his yacht,
which, as every one in town had
known through the papers, was at
Cowes and in commission. For Logo
theft, in his evidence, had explained
his absence from the police court by
the fact that he had been off in the

an interview IN Denver, many of the
| Colorado fruit growers harvested
their crops year after year unaffected

| In the past two years early frost has
| been general The result has been
that where in former years the value
of the fruit crops has run as high as

gated only $3.5O0,OOO.
1t is to save the state this i'm

heaters in order to test their effic-
iency and TO determine which ones
are of the greatest practical value. "
Proceeding along this policy. the
members of he society, $50 strong

subject by James l.. Hamilton Of
Grand Junction. at the meeting in
Denver yesterday. took a special car
to the Parfet orchards al Olivet,

however has made the question a
serious one to the fruit growers and
it is the intention of the members of
the State Horticultural society to give
all of the heaters presented thorough
consideration and then il none of
them are found of worth, to continue
the experiments until an adequate
heater is devised.
The heater thus far presented are
comparatively simple in form. con

in which the fuel is placed. In con-
nection with the efficiency of the
heaters, however aside from the
amount of heat produced. must be
considered the questions of how many
are needed to heat an acre of trees,
the length of time one will burn
without replenishment and the cost
of the fuel used.
