SYNOPSIS.

Baraka, n Tartar girl, became enamored
of a golden bearded stranger who was
Prospecting and studying herbs IN tle
Vicinity of her home in central Asia, ana
revealed TO him the location of NINE
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. Barakas 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
red, dug his way out of the tunnel, ana
a bag of rubies Baraka gathered all the
gems she could carry, and started IN puf-
suit Margaret Dome (Margarita da
Cordova), "A famous prima donna, became
engaged in London to Konstanun l-o-
gotheti a wealthy Greek financier. Her
Intimate friend was Countess Levcn,
known as Lady Maud whose husband
had been killed by a bomb in st. Peters
burg; and Lady Mauds most intimate
friend was Rufus Van Torp, an Ameri-
men in the world. Van Torp was in love
with Margaret, and rushed to London as
soon as he heard of her betrothal. He
offered Lady Maud $4,000 900 for her pet
the singer from Logothet. Baraka APP
preached Logothet at Versailles witt
rubies to sell. He presented a ruby tC
Margaret. Van Torp bought a yacht anc
sent 1t to Venice. He was visited 10y
Baraka in male attire. She gave him

WINGED that it WAS Kralinsky himself
the ruby merchant, who had suddenly
appeared at Bayreuth, and that this
man was no other than the youth he
had met long ago as cowboy in the
west, who used to whistle "Parsifal'
with his companion in exile, and who,
having grown rich, had lost no time
in coming to Europe for the very pur-
pose of hearing the music he mad al
ways loved so well. And that this
man had robbed the poor Tartar girl
Mr.. Van Torp had no manner OF
doubt; and he believed that he had
probably promised her marriage and
abandoned her; and If this were true
to help her to find Kralinsky was in
itself good action

Cried Mr.. Pinney.

aspect of matters.

Baraka did not resist when she saw

to a cell at the back of the station. In
less than ten minutes Mrs. Movie
came out and locked the door after

In the bag there were several
screws of paper. which were found to
contain uncut rubies of different sizes
to a large value. But there was one,
much larger than the others, which
Mr.. Van Torp had not seen that morn
ing. Mr.. Pnney looked at it very
carefully, held it to the light, laid it
on sheet of paper, and examined ii
long in every aspect. He was a con.
scientious man.
ITO the best of my belief" he de.
posed, this is the stone that was on
my counter half an hour ago, and for
which this piece of green glass was
substituted. 1t Is the property of a
customer OF mine, Mons Konstantin

"The woman" observed the officer
in charge of the station, appears to
steal nothing but rubes. 1t looks like
queer case. Well lock up the two,
, Mr.. Plnney, and if you will be kind
enough to look in tomorrow morning
I'm sure the magistrate won't keep you
waiting for the case"
Vastly relieved and comforted, Mr.
: Pinney returned to his shop. For

were covered dishes. There were pop
pies and corn-howers in a plain white

smiled at the fnancier; it would hard

beamed upon him. They had not met
alone since his first visit on the
previous afternoon.

said, as if the fact were very pleas

Torp with an amiable smile.

hotel coming in fully 20 minutes be-

said Mr.. Van Torp, still smiling ami
ably.

lish memorandum book, as if she had
done it all her life; but Mr.. Pinney
could not see what she wrote. He was
careful, and watched the stones when
she took them in her fingers and held
them up against the light, or laid
them on sheet of white paper to
look at them critically.
She bought nothing, and when she
had seen all he had to show her, she
thanked him very much through Spiro,
said she would come back another
day, and went out with a leisurely,
oriental gait, as if nothing in the
world could hurry her, Mr.. Pinney
counted the stones again, and was go
ing to lock the box, when his second
man came in, having finished string
ing the duchess pearls. At the same
moment, it occurred to Mr.. Pinney
that he might as well go to luncheon,
and that he had better put Logotheti's
ruby into the little stronghold and
lock it up in the safe until he at last
had a chance to weigh it. He ac
cordingly took the screw of paper
from his waistcoat pocket, and as q
matter of Formally he undid it once
more.
"Merciful Providence" cried Mr.
