The valet was preparing to follow
the prisoner, and was quite calm
again.
"Yes, sir"
"If he won't sit still to be shaved,
cut his head or"
"Yes, sir"
Van Torp's eyes were awful to see.
He had never been so angry in his
life. He turned and saw Lady Maud
pressing her handkerchief to her right
temple. The ball had grazed it,
though it had certainly not been
meant for her
"Rufus!" she cried in great distress,
what have you done%
"The question is what he's done to
you," answered Van Torp. Il believe
the blackguard has shot you!"
Its nothing. Thank God it hit me!
1t was meant for you"
Van Torp's rage instantly turned
Into tender care, and he insisted on
examining the wound, which was
slight but would leave a scar. BY q
miracle the ball had grazed the angle
OF the temple without going near the
temporal artery. and scarcely SINCE
ing the thick brown hair.
Van Torp rang and sent for water
and absorbent cotton, and made a
very neat dressing. over which Lady
Maud tied her big veil. Just as this
was done Stemp appeared at the door.
It's ready, sir, If you would like to
come and see. I've not scratched him

in an authoritative tone. and coming
forward almost deflantly.
"Then why did you tell the Tartar
girl that your name was 0eorge?''
asked Mr.. Van Torp, unmoved.
Il did not"

Greek gentleman speaks Tartar better
than you. wonder where you learned
it! He's just told me you said your
name was George"
My name is George Boris" an
swered Kralinsky, less confidently.
He was not coward. but he had
never been face to face with Van
Torp when he meant business, and the
terrible American cowed him.
my husbands name is only Boris
nothing else," said Lady Maud.
well, this isn't your husband; this
is George, whoever he is, and IL You
don't believe it, I'm going to give you
An object lesson"
Thereupon Mr.. Van Torp pressed
the button of bell in the bulk-head
near the door, which he opened, and
he stood looking out. A steward came
at once.
"Send me Stemp," said Van Torp in
Q low voice, as he stepped outside.
Eyes, sir"
"And, see here, send six sailors with
him"
very good, SIR"
Mr.. Van Torp went in again and
shut the door. Kralinsky disdained
fight, and was looking out of a win
dow. Lady Maud had sat down again.
For the first time in her life she felt
weak
In less than one minute the door
opened and Stemp appeared, impas-
sive and respectful. Behind him was
the boatswain, a huge Northumbrian.
and five young seamen in perfectly
new guernseys, with fair quiet faces.

chair while Stemp shaves him. See"
The boatswain looked doubtful. He's

said Van Torp, ION my ship, and

you don't obey orders!"
AYE, aye, sir" responded the boat
swain cheerfully, for he rather liked
the JOB since there was a good reason
for it.
But instead of going about his bust

suddenly dashed past Van Torp in a
fash, and jumped and hurled himself
head foremost at Kralinsky's legs, ex
actly as if he were diving. In the

had drawn was thrown from his hand
and went of in the air. The boat

tion there lurked, in spite of him, the
less worthy thought, that singers and
actresses were generally less sQueam-
ish than women of the world about
the little entanglements of their in
tended husbands.
But now, at the very moment of
meeting Margaret, he knew that If he
found her very angry with him, he
would simply listen to what she had
to say, make humble apology, state
the truth coldly, and return to his
own yacht with Baraka, under her
very eyes, and in full sight of Lady
Maud and Mrs. Rushmore. Besides,
he felt tolerably sure that when Spiro
failed to carry out the young Tartar
girls murderous instructions, she
would forget all about the oath she
had sworn by the "inviolable water of
the Styx" and try to kill him with her
own hands. so that it would be neces-
sary to take her away abruptly, and
even forcibly.

slowly. before the visitors were there.
Baraka bade Logotheti go up first,
and trod daintily on the grated steps
as she followed him. The chief mate
and chief steward were waiting at the
gangway. The mate saluted; the
steward led the visitors to the main
saloon. ushered them in and shut the
door. Spiro was left outside, of
course.
Mr.. Van Torp shook hands coldly
with Logotheti; Baraka walked direct
" to Kralinsky, and then stood stone
still before him. gazing up steadily
into his eyes.
Neither Margaret nor Mrs. Rush
more was to be seen. Van Torp and
Logotheti both watched the other two,

The Suspender Belt.

The suspender belt illustrated is a
novelty that any girl would appreciate
as a little Christmas remembrance.
And as for making, there is little to
be done once a pair of silk suspenders
are purchased and ripped apart where
they are crossed in the back. Two
small sized buttons are sewed on one
end of the belt the required size to be
looped by the buttonhoIes in the kid

beautiful than Baraka, even in those
clothes. When he sees me. he will

full woman in black. / will tell Spiro
to be ready. It is q pity, but see
there will be no other way. It is his
portion and mine. It is a great pity,
for have been happy with you"
Instead Of any look of anger, Logo
theti now saw an expression of pro
found resignation in her lovely young
features. If he had been less anxious
about his own affairs, he would have
smiled at her simplicity.
when we are on that ship you will
let me talk with him q little apart
from the rest, and Spiro shall go be-
hind him and wait, looking at me. II
he denies me, will make . sign, and
Spiro shall shoot him, and then kill
me- It will be very easy and quick"
"And what will become of Spiro?"
inquired Logotheti gravely.

How can 1 tell? But he is a good serv-
ant, and will obey me. Afterwards
it will not matter, for he is really q
Mussulman. and will go at once to
paradise IL he dies. because he has
killed a Christian"
"But you are a Mussulman, and he
is to kill you also. What about that?"
Il am only a woman" answered Ba-
raka with supreme Indifference. "Now
1 will call Spiro and tell him what he
is to do. He has q good revolver"
Logotheti let her clap her hands
and send the steward for her man,
and she rose when he appeared and
made him follow her a little way
along the deck. The interview did not
last long. She handed him her glasses
and made him look carefully at the
intended victim; then she apparently
repeated her brief instructions again,
pointing here and there to the deck
at her feet, to show him how they
were to stand; after which she turned
quietly, came back to Logotheti's side
and sat down again.
He understands" she said. 1T Will
be quite easy"
But Logotheti, looking past her as
she came forward, had met Spiros
eyes; and he felt not even the slight
est anxiety for Kralinsky's safety. nor
for Baraka's. He was still wondering
what he. should say to Margaret.
At a distance, Logotheti had sup
posed that he. could somehow account
to the diva for the position in which
he had foolishly placed himself, be-
cause he had done nothing and said
nothing that he would have been
ashamed of before her, if she knew
the whole truth; and he fancied that
even if they quarreled she would
make up with him before long, and
marry him in the end. He had good
opinion of himself as a desirable hus-
band: and with reason, since he had
been prosecuted for years with offers
of excellent marriages from mothers
of high degree who had daughters to
dispose of. And beneath that convic-
