Beloved, in the garden of my heart
There fell solitary seed;
l knew not whence it came nor what It's
part
Nor of what nourishment 1t might have
need.
Wearied with wandering through the
ether wide,
1t slept. and when its WEAKNESS was
gone,
Said: I'm this pleasure spot will abide,
And with the fairest claim comparison
Startled, 1 watched with keen and con-
slant eyes
The growth to bud and blossom OF my
guest.
Like one to whom tits very Paradise
To see her infant drain her ample

And 10! I found one happy evening

to Charing Cross; and whether they
ever met again, do not know, and
1t does not matter; but In order to
clear Baraka's character at once and
to avoid useless and perfectly trans.
parent mystery, it is as we'll to say
directly that it was the young man
who drove to Euston, on his way to
Liverpool and New York, who had
Logothetis 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 impaired to the reader,
who has already guessed this much of
the truth, would not 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.

surfing herself that there was nothing
from Logotheti.
She read the newspaper cutting
first, supposing that it contained
something 1attering about herself, for
she had been little short of public
admiration for nearly fortnight. Ba-
raka's case was reported with the
rather brutal simplicity which charac-
terizes such accounts in the English
papers, and Logotheti's name ap-
peared in Mr.. Pinney's evidence.

Baraka hardened" because she did
not burst into tears. That was all,
and there were barely five-and-twenty
lines of small print.
But the 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 ruby, but
1t 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 ring,
though 1t would cover more than half
the space between her knuckle and
the joint of her third finger. Further,
1t had been stolen by the very girl
from whom Logotheti had pretended
that he had bought 1t, fact which
cast the high light of absurdity on his
unlikely story! 1t was natural enough
that she should have seen it, and
should have known that he was tax.
ing it to Pinney's, and that she should
have been able to prepare a little
screw of paper with bit Of glass
inside, to substitute for it. The i'm.
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,
disguished 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 bit Of glass, as he said 1t might
be, for all he knew.
She devoured Lady Maud's letter in
. few moments, and then read it
twice again, which took so long that
Mrs. Rushmore sent Justine to tell
Potts to ask II Miss Dome did not
mean to 60 out that morning, though
the weather was so fine.
Great singers generally develop a
capacity for flying into RACES. even
II they have not been born with hot
tempers. 1t Is very bad for the voice,
but 1t seems to be part Of the life.
Margaret was very angry, and Potts
became as meek and mild as little
lamb when she saw the storm signals
in her mistress face. She delivered
her message in pathetic and op-
pressed tone. like child reciting the
collect for the day at Sunday
school.

Knows American Game.

Mr.. Mills Is not unfamiliar with
American racing. lie saw ogden and
Mart,mas win their Futurities here dur
ing their tEo-y ear-old career lie says
the racing conditions abroad are vastly
different from those here. Some Of the
richest stakes are over long routes that
seem to tire the strength and stamina
of tuc racers. And all tho races are run
on grass.
Races over grass courses nre seldom
run here except during the Sheeqsh"ad
meetings. and horses that have shown
little over the dirt courses have often
improved NGty per cent. on the grass.
HOW this will effect the American
horses In England remains to be seen.
In addition to being thorough horse
man Mr.. Mills Is q fight enthusiast. He
saw owen Moran beat Tommy Murphy
