: Baraka. 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 q cliff overlooking the mine; put
the traveller shot him. The stranger was
revived from a water gOurd Saad car
departed, deserving the girl and carrying
a bag of rUbies. Baraka gathered all the
gems she could carry, and started i'll pur-
suit. Margaret Dome (Margarita ola
Cordova), famous prima donna, became
engaged in London to Konstantin 10
gotheu, wealthy Greek financler; HeF
intimate friend was Countess, Leven;
had been killed by a bomb in St. Peters
burg; and Lady Maud'S most Intimate
friend was Rufus Van Torp, an Amerl-
can, who had become one of the richest
men in the world. Van TOrp was in love
with Margaret, and rushed to London as
offered Lady Maud $5000,000 for her pet
charity if she would aid him in winning
the singer from Logotheti. BaIaka ap-
preached LOgOtheti at Versailles win

ruby after the American had told her OF
having seen in the United States man
answering the description of the one she
loved. The American followed Margaret
to the Bayreuth "Parsifal' festival.

which was so white that the gem
shed delicate pompegranate-colored
light on the skin all round it. She
admired it, turned it over with one
finger, held it up towards the window,
and laid it in her palm again.
But Van Torp had set her thinking
about Logotheti and the Tartar girl.
She put out her hand to give back.

Il should like you to keep it, if
you WILL" he said. Il shan't forget
the pleasure I've had in seeing you
like this, but you'll forget all about
our meeting here-the stone may just
make you remember it sometimes"
He spoke SO quietly, so gently, that
she was taken off her guard, and was
touched, and very much surprised to
feel that she was. She looked into
his eyes rather cautiously, remember
ing well how she had formerly seen
something terrifying in them if she
looked an instant too long; but now
they made her think of the eyes of a
large affectionate bulldog.

it to me-" she answered after a mo-
ment's hesitation, "but l don't like to
accept anything so valuable, now that

nificent prima donna was too true a
musician, as we'll as a singer, not to
| take pleasure in sweet sound, even
+! if it were produced by street-boy.
But as Mr.. Van Torp went on, she
opened her eyes very wide and held
her breath. There was no mistake
about it; he was whistling long pieces
from "Parsifal,' as far as it was pos
| sible to convey an idea of such music
| by such means. Margaret had studied
| it before coming to Bayreuth in or
| der to understand it better; she had
now already heard it once, and had
| felt the greatest musical emotion of
her life-one that had stirred other
emotions, too, strange ones quite
new to her.
She held her breath and listened,
and her eyes that had been wide open
| in astonishment, slowly closed again
in pleasure, and presently, when he
reached the Good Friday music, her
own matchless voice fioated out with
her unconscious breath, in such per-
| feet octaves with his high whiStling
| that at first he did not understand;
but when he did, the rough hard man
shivered suddenly and steadied him

without them, following the instru-
mentation to the end of the scene,
beyond what he had ever heard.
Then there was silence in the room,
and neither Of the two moved for
some moments, but at last Van Torp
turned, and came back
Thank you," he said, in a low
voice.
Margaret smiled and passed her
hand over her eyes quickly, as if to
dispel vision she had seen. Then
she spoke.
do you really not know what that
music is?" she lsked Really,
really?"
"Oh, quite honestly I don't!"
You're not joking? You're not
laughing at me?"
'I?" He could not understand. Il
shouldn't daret" he said.
You've been whistling some of
'Parsifal," some of the most beauti-
full music that ever was written-and
you whistle mavellously, for it's any
thing but easy! Where in the world
did you learn it? Don't tell me that
those are old tunes you picked up
on California ranch!"
Its true, all the same" Van Torp
answered.
He told her of the two foreigners
who used to whistle together in the
| evenings, and how one was supposed
to have been shot and the other had
disappeared, no one had known width

formerly been, and she liked his per-

said, "but let me hear the tune
Van Torp rose and went to the
window and she looked quietly at his
square figure and his massive, sandy
head and his strong neck. Presently
he began to whistle, very softly and
perfectly in tune. Many a street-boy
could do as well, no doubt, and Mrs
