innocent the stone must be given back

and well fed, and soundly beaten now
and then for the good of their tenn
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 Margaret 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's chambers in the Tenn
pie in the evening.
She was told that Logotheti was

sumably in order to save her coal, for

drausht that famed the faces OF Logo
theft and Baraka as they lay in their
lone. chairs under the double awning
outside the deckhouse-
The Tartar girl wore d skirt and
Jacket of dark blue yachting serge,
which did not fit badly considering
that they had been bought reaGy-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 dove-col-
ored motor veil on her head by sin
gle thick gold cord in the Asiatic
way, and the thin folds hung down on
each side, and lay on her shoulders,
shading her face, and the breeze
stirred them. Logotheti's valet had
been sent out in a taXimeter, pro
vided with a few measurements and
plenty OF cash, and commissioned to
buy everything that girl who had
nothing at all to wear, visible or in
visible, could possibly need. He was
also instructed to find a maid who
could speak Tartar OF at least a little
Turkish.
After FIVE hours he had come back
with a heavy load of boxes of all
shapes and sizes and the required
maid. You can find anything in a
great city, if you know how TO look
for it, and he had discovered through

He quoted in Greek the oath that
Hypnos dictates to Hera in the
"Iliad." and Baraka repeated each

the Styx. and lay one hand upon the
all-nourishing earth. the other on the
. sparkling sea, that all the gods below
may be our witnesses, even they that

swear,"
As he had anticipated, Baraka
was much more impressed by the i'm
portance of the words she did not IN

self by any oath familiar to her.
Il am sorry" she said, but what is

height and the size of her waist to

delicate, energetic profile, admiring
willful turning up of her 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 II 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 last few days As for that. she
was like a healthy young animal, and
as soon as she had a chance she had
fallen so sound asleep that she had
not walked for u hours Logotheti's
intent was to take her TO Paris by a
roundabout way. and establish her
under some proper sort of protection.

would soon return to France, and he

had always laughed at the convention

very little heed to them when they

with her OF anything but the neces-

Lady Maud held her beautiful head
a little higher and her lids dropped
slightly as she looked down at s1m,
for he was shorter than She But the
huge leathern face was perfectly i'm
passive, and the still. turquoise eyes
surveyed her without winking. She

human Oelng.
There was clearly nothing to be
done, and she thought the secretary
distinctly rude; but as that was no
reason why she should be, she babe
him gOOd-morning civiIly 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 hall to let her out
There was a small table there. on
which lay some of Logothetis 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 were
mems gloves as to length and buttons,
but only a child could have worn
them
Lady Maud saw them instantly, and
remembered Baraka's disguise; and
as she passed the big umbrella jar
to go out. she saw that with two of
Logothetis sticks there was a third,
fully four inches shorter, just a plain
CrOOk-handled stick with a silver ring.
That was enough Baraka had Ger
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 womans 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 fxedly 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-
preston.
