SYNOPSIS.

Barnka a Tartar girl, became enamored
of a golden bearded stranger who was
prospecting and studying herbs in the
vicinity of her home in central Asia. and
revealed to him the location of mine
of rubies hoping that the stranger would
love her in return for her disclosure.
They were followed to the cave by the
girls relatives who blocked up the en-
trance and drew off the water supply.
leaving the couple to die. Baraka's cousin
Saad her betrothed, attempted to climb
down a cliff overlooking the mine: but
the traveller shot him. The stranger was
revived from a water gourd Saad car
ried, dug his way out of the tunnel, and
departed. deserving the girl and carrying
n 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 fnancier. Her
Intimate friend was Couptess Leven,
known as Lady Maud. whose husband
had been killed by bomb in St Peters
friend was Rufus Van Torp, an Ameri-
can, who had been a cowboy in early
life but had become one of the richest
men in the world. Van Torp was in love
with Margaret. and rushed to Loudon as
soon as he heard of her betrothal. He
offered Lady Maud s5,000000 for her pet

CHAPTER IV.-Continued.

But Barak now understood what he
was going to do, and ran before him,
and stood before the door in an atti-
tude which expressed entreaty so
clearly that Mr.. Van Torp was puz-
zled.
WELL" he said, standing still and
looking into the beautiful imploring
eyes, what on earth do you want
now, Miss Barrack? Try and explain
yourself"
A very singular conversation by
signs now began.
Barak pointed to the waistcoat pock-
ct into which he had put the stone.
The matter concerned that, of course,
and Van Torp nodded. Next. though
after considerable difficulty, she made
him understand that she was asking
how he had got it, and when this was
clear, he answered by pretending to
count out coins with his right hand
on the palm of his left to explain that
he had bought It. There was no mis-
taking this, and Barak nodded quickly
and went on to her next question.
She wanted to know what kind of a
man had sold him the ruby She i'm
provised a pretty little dumb show in
which she represented the seller and
Mr.. Van Torp the buyer of the ruby,
and then by gestures she asked if the
man who sold it was tall.
Van Torp raised his hand several
inches higher than his own head. He
had bought the ruby from a very tall
man. Putting both hands to her chin
ana then drawing them down as if
stroldng a long beard. she inquired If
the man had one, and again the an
swer was affirmative. She nodded ex-
citedly and pointed first to Van Torp's
sandy hair and then to her own short
black locks. The American pointed to
his own, and then touched his watch
chain and smiled The mans hair
was fair. and even golden. BY sim
liar process she ascertained that his
eyes were blue and not black. and her

member"
But at two o'clock, on the next day
but one, Logotheti received a note
brought by hand, in which Mr.. Van
Torp said that to his great regret he
had been called away suddenly, and
hoped that Logotheti would forgive
him, as the matter was of such urgent
Importance that he would have al
ready left London when the note was
received
This was more than true, if pos.
sible, for the writer had left town
two days earlier, very soon after he
had parted from Logotheti in Pail
Mall, although the note had not been
delivered till As hours later.
The Chanute times., 1909-12-31
CHAPTER V

Mr.. Van Torp knew no more about
Bayreuth than about Samarkand, be-
yond the fact that at certain stated
times performances of Wagner's
operas were given there with as much
solemnity as great religious festivals,
and that musical people spoke of the
Bayreuth season in curfous1y rever.
ent manner. He would have been
much surprised If any one had told
him that he often whistled fragments
of "Parslfal" to himself and liked the
sound of them; for he had natural
ear and a good memory, and had
whistled remarkably well when he
was a boy.
The truth about this seemingly i'm
possible circumstance was really very
simple. In what he called his COW.
punching days, he had been for six
months in company with two young
men who used to whistle softly to-
gether by the hour beside the camp
fire, and none of the other boys" had
ever heard the strange tunes they
seemed to like best, but Van Torp
had caught and remembered many
fragments, almost unconsciously, and
he whistled them to himself because
they gave him a sensation which no
real music" ever did. Extraordinary
natures. like his, are often endowed
with unnoticed gifts and tastes quite
unlike those of most people No one
knew anything about the young men
who whistled Wagner; the Lost
Legion" hides many secrets, and the
two were not popular with the rest.
though they knew their business and
did their work fairly we'll One Of
them was afterwards said to have
been killed in a shooting ARRAY and
the other had disappeared about the
same time. no one knew how, or
cared. though Mr.. Van Torp thought
he had recognized him once many
years later. They we're neither Amer
leans nor Englishmen. though they
both spoke English well. and never
were heard to use any other language.

Exactly" assented Logotheti. And,
oddly enough, the first of those stories
is about Samarkand, which is not so
| far from Baraka's native village. 1t
seems to have taken the girl about a
year to find her way to Constantine
pie, and when she got there she natur-
ally supposed that it was the capital
of the world, and that her man, being
very great and very rich, thanks to
her, must of course live there. So she
searched Stamboul and Pera for him,
during seven or eight months. She
| lived in the house of a good old Per-
sian merchant, under the protection of
his wife, and learned that there was
a world called Europe where her man
might be living, and cities called Paris
and London, where people pay fabu-
lous prices for precious stones. Per-
sian merchants are generally well-edu.
Gated men, you know. At last she
, made up her mind to dress like man,
she picked up an honest Turkish man
servant who had been all over Europe
with diplomatist and could speak
some French and English as well as
Tartar she got a letter of recommen-
dation to me from a Greek banker
through the Persian who did business
with him, joined some Greeks who
were coming to Marseilles by sea, and
here she is. Now you know as much
as do. She is perfectly fearless, and
as much more sure of herself than
any man ever was, as some young
women can be in this queer world. OF
course, she'll never find the brute who
thought he was leaving her to be muir
dered by her relations, but if she ever
did. she would either marry him or cut
his throat"
Mice, amiable kind of girl" re-
marked Mr. Van Torp. who remem-
bered her behaviour when he had re-
fused her proffered gift. That's very
interesting, Mr.. Logotheti. How long
do you count on being in London this
time? Three or four days, maybe?"
"I dare say. No longer, l fancy"
'Why don't you come and take din
ner with me some night?" asked the
American. DAY after tomorrow,
perhaps. I'd be pleased to have you"
Thank you very much" Logotheti
answered. "Since you ask me, l see
no reason why / SHOULD not dine with
you, if you want me-"
They agreed upon the place and
hour, and each suddenly remembered
an engagement
''By the way" said Mr. Van Torp,
without apparent interest, Il hope

SO I'm rowing till it's over. That's my
personal history at this moment! And

thank you"
Il notice you call her Miss Donra
when you speak of her," said Van
Torp. Excuse me II made a mis-
take Just now. I've always called her

1T doesn't matter at all" answered
Logotheti carelessly. "but believe
she prefers to be called by her own

10 ask Where the man was, DuJ III was
some time before she could make Mr..
Van Torp understand what she meant.
AS if to help her out of her difficulty,
the sun shone through the clouds at
that moment and streamed into the
room: she pointed to it at once.
turned her back to it, and then held
out her right hand to indicate the
east, and her left to the west.
"Oh, yes" said Van Torp, who had
seen Indians do the same thing, "it
was west of here that | bought it of
him, a good way west"
He pointed in that direction, and
thrust out his arm as if he would
make it reach much further If he
could. AT this Barak looked deeply
disappointed. Several times, to show
that she meant London, or at least
England she pointed to the floor at
her feet and looked inquiringly at Van
Torp, but he shook his head and
pointed to the west again, and made
gesture that meant crossing some
thing. He spoke to her as if she could
understand.
i've got your meaning" he said.
You're after the big man with the
yellow beard, who is selling rubies
from the same place, and has very
likely gone off with yours. He looked
like a bad egg in spite of his hand
some face"
He turned his eyes thoughtfully to
the window. Barak plucked gently at
his sleeve and pretended to write in
the palm of her left hand, and then
went through all the descriptive ges-
tures again, and then once more pre-
tended to write, and coaxingly pushed
him towards a little table on which
she saw writing materials.
You'd like to have his address,
would you, Miss Barrak? wonder
why you don't call in your interpreter
and tell me so. 1t would be much
simpler than all this dumb crambo'
Once more he made a step towards
the door, but she caught at his sleeve
and entreated him in her own lam
guage not to call any one; and her
voice was so deliciously soft and be-
seeching that he yielded, and sat down
at the small table and wrote out an
address from memory He handed her
the half-sheet of paper when he had
dried the writing and had looked over
it carefully.
Poor little thing" he said in a
tone of pity. IF you ever find him
he'll eat you"
Barak again showed signs of great
emotion when she put the address
into an inside pocket of her mans
coat, but it was not of the same kind
as before. She took Van Torp's big
hand in both her own, and. bending
down, she laid it on her head, meaning
that he might dispose of her life ever
afterwards. But he did not under
stand
You want my blessing. do you, Miss
Barrack? Some people don't think
Brassy Van Torp's blessing worth
much. young lady. but you're welcome
to It, such as It is.r

as she looked up, and bsr eyes ware
