Raraka. a Tartar girl became enamored
of n golden bearded stranger who was

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-
france and drew off the water supply,
leaving the couple to die Baraka's cousin
Saad her betrothed, attempted to climb
down cliff overlooking the mine; but
the traveller shot him. The stranger was
revived from water gourd Saad car
ried dug his way out of the tunnel, and
departed, deserving the girl and carrying
a bag OF rubies Baraka gathered all the
gems she could carry, and started in pur-
suit. Margaret Dome tMargarlta da

baldheaded What's the matter with
you, anyway? Your eyes are popping
out of your head DO you feel as IL
you were going to have a fit? say,
Stemp!"
Barak was indeed violently affected
by the sight of the uncut ruby, and
his face had changed in startling
way; great vein like whipcord sud-
denly showed itself on his smooth
forehead straight up and down; his
lids had opened so wide that they un.
covered the white of the eye almost
all around the iris; he was biting his
lower lip so that it was swollen and
blood-red against the little white
teeth; and n moment before Mr. Van
Torp had called out to his servant, the
young man had reeled visibly, and
would have collapsed If the American
had not caught the slender waist and
supported the small head against his
shoulder with his other hand
Stemp was not within hearing,
therefore Mr.. Van Torp called to him
in vain, and meanwhile stood where
he was with his arm round Barak,
and Baraks head on his shoulder; but
as no one came at his call, he lifted
the slim figure gently and carried 1t
towards the sofa. and while he was
crossing the large room with his bur
den the palpable truth was forced
upon him that his visitors slimness
was more apparent than real, and an
affair of shape rather than of pounds.
Before he had quite reached the
lounge, however, Barak stirred wrig.
gled in his arms. and sprang to the
floor and stood upright, blinking lit
tie, like person waking from q
dream, but quite steady, and trying to
smile in an apologize sort of way.

turbed. Mr.. Van Torp smiled, too as
ii to offer his congratulations on the
quick recovery.
Feel better now?" he inquired in a
kindly tone, and nodded 81 wonder
what on earth you're up to, young
lady?' he soliloquised, watching Ba-
rak's movements.
He was much too CAUTIOUS and wise
to like being left alone for MANY
minutes with girl. and a cookbook

dressed in mems clothes and passed
herself for ruby merchant Mr.. Van
Iorp was well aware that he was not

the rubies he had seen might very
well be imitation, and that the girls
emotion at the sight of the rough
stone might be only piece of clever
acting the whole scene having been
planned by gang of thieves for the
purpose of robbng him of that very
ruby, which was worth a large sum,
even in his estimation; for it was
nearly the counterpart of the one he
had given Lady Maud, though still un-
cut
Therefore he returned to the table
and slipped the gem into his pocket
before going to the door to see wheth.

or both"
Barak took several little twists of
tissue paper from the bag. laid them
in a row on the tablecloth and then
began to open them one by one. Each
tiny parcel contained a ruby, and when
the young man counted them there
were five in all. and they were fine
stones If they were genuine; but Mr..
Van Torp was neither credulous nor
easily surprised, When Barak looked
to see what impression he had pro
duced on such desirable buyer, he
was disappointed.

They've found out how to make them

But Barak understood nothing, OF
course, beyond the fact that Mr.. Van
Torp seemed Indifferent, which was a
common trick of willy customers; but
there was something about this ones
manner that was not assumed Barak
took the finest of the stones with the
tips of his slender young fingers, laid
1t in the palm of his other hand, and
held it under Mr.. Van Torps eyes

said.
Barak nodded quietly, and at once
began to wrap up the stones, each in
its own bit of paper, putting the twists
back into the bag one by one. Then
he drew the thongs together and tied
them in neat sort of knot which Mr.
Van Torp had never seen. The young

CHAPTER ~.

Without offending Mr. Van Torp,
Lady Maud managed not to see him
again for some time, and when he un-
derstood, as he soon did, that this was
her wish, he made no attempt to force
himself upon her She was probably
thinking over what he had said, and
in the end she would exert her in
fluence as he had begged her to do.
He was thoroughly persuaded that
there was nothing unfair in his pro.
posal and that, when she was con-
WINGED that he was right, she would
help him.
But when he had taken the first
step towards accomplishing his pur-
pose he was very much at a loss as
to the next, and he saw that he had

aire stopped him.
Say, don't go just yet. I'll show
you a ruby that'll make you sit up"
He rose as he spoke, and Barak UNI
derstood his smile and question, and
waited Mr.. Van Torp went into the
next room, and came back almost inn
mediately, bringing a small black mo-
rocco case, which he set on the table
and unlocked with little key that
hung on his watchchain He was not
fond of wearing jewelry, and the box
held all his possessions of that sort,
and was not full. There were three
or four sets of plain studs and links;
there were half dozen very big gold
collar studs; there was a bit of an old
gold chain, apparently cut off at each
end and having one cheap little dia-
mond set in each link; and there was
. thin old wedding ring that must
have been a woman's; besides a few
other valueless trinkets, all lying loose
and in confusion. Mr. Van Torp shook
the box a little. poked the contents

of course, deserved it on the principle
that people who cannot keep money
ought not to have any. Some unkind
newspaper man had then nicknamed
it the Brass Trust, and had called him
Brassy Van Torp; but it is of no use
to throw mud at the Golden Calf, for
the dirt soon dries to dust and falls
off, leaving the animal as beautifully
shiny as ever
Mr. Van rorp did not quite see how
he could Immediately apply the force
of money to further his plans with
effect He knew his adversary's finan-
cial position in Europe much too well
to think of trying to attack him on
that ground; and besides, in his rough
