great many sergeants' names, and DO
ing kind things for their wives at
Christmas time, which further dis
posed them to help her in her work.
But the London police are by nature
the kindliest set of men who keep
order anywhere in the world, ana
they will readily help a man or Wom-
an who tries to do good in sensible,
practical way; and if they are some
times a little prejudiced in favor OF
their own perspicuity in getting up a
case, let that policeman, of any other
country, who is quite without fault,
throw the first stone at their brave,
good-natured heads.
Logotheti was not at his lodgings
in ST. James place, and from each
of two clubs to which the officer tele-
phoned rather at random, the only an
swer was that he was a member but
not in the house The officer wrote
a line to his rooms and sent it by a
messenger, to be given to him as soon
as he came in
It was late in the hot afternoon
when Mrs Foxwell answered the mes
sage by coming to the police station
herself She was at once admitted
to Baraka's cell and the door was
closed after her.
The girl was lying on the pallet bed,
dressed in a poor calico skirt and a
loose white cotton jacket, which Mrs.
Movie had brought and had insisted
that she must put on; and her mans
clothes had been taken from her with
all her other belongings. She sat up,
forlorn, pale and lovely, as the kind
visitor entered and stood beside her.
Poor child" exclaimed the lady,
touched by her sad eyes. What can
| do to help you?"
Baraka shook her head, for she did
not understand. Then she looked up
into eyes almost as beautiful as her
own, and pronounced a name, slowly
and so distinctly that it was impos-
sible not to hear each syllable.

and asked what he wanted. In his
broken English he explained very
clearly that Baraka had friend in
London who was one of the great of
the earth, and who would certainly
prove her innocence. Vouch for her
character, and cause her to be set at
large without delay, if he knew of her
trouble.
What is the gentlemans name?"
inquired the policeman
The name of Baraka's friend was
Konstantin Logotheti, and Spiro knew
the address of the lodgings he always
kept in ST James place.
Very WE'LL" said the policeman.
"Tll speak to the officer at once"
Il thank very much. sir" Spiro an
swered, and he made no more noise.
The sergeant looked surprised when
the message was given 20 him.
Queer case this he observed.
Here's the thief appealing to the
owner of the stolen property for help;
and the owner is one of those million
aire financiers; and the thief is a love-
ly girl in mans clothes. BY the by,
Sampson tell Mrs Movie to get out
some women's Stops and dress her
decently, while | see if | can find Mr..
Logotheti by telephone. They'll be
likely to know something about him
at the bank if he's not at home, and
he may come to find out what's the
matter. If Mrs. Foxwell should look
in and want to see the girl, let her
in, of course, without asking me. If
she's in town, she'll be here before
long, for I've telephoned to her house,
as usual when there's girl in trou-

There was sort of standing, un-

their innocence all the while in elo-
quent but disjointed English, until he
was told to hold his tongue.
Further, Lady Maud read the po-
lice court report in an evening paper,
cut it out and sent it to Margaret as a
document confirming the letter she
had posted on the previous evening";
and owing to the same insutficlency
in the address, the two missives were
delivered together.
Lastly, Mr.. Pinney took the big
ruby back to his shop and locked 1t
up in his safe with satisfaction and
a sense of profound relief such as he
had rarely felt in long and honorable
life; and he would have been horrl-
fed and distressed beyond words if he
could have even guessed that he had
been the means of sending an inno-
cent and helpless girl to prison.
One thing more which concerns this
tale happened on that same day. Two
well-dressed men drove up to the door
of a quiet and very respectable hotel
in the West end; and they asked for
their bill, and packed their belong
ings, which were sufficient though not
numerous; and when they had paid
what they owed and given the usual
tips, they told the porter to call two
hansomS, and each had his things put
on one of them; and they nodded to
each other and parted; and one ham
som drove to Euston and the other
to Charing Cross; and whether they
ever met again, | do not know, and
it 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
Logotheti's ruby sewn up in his waist
coat pocket; and that the ruby really
belonged to Margaret, since Logothetl
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.

their northern home before the early

GREAT DANE A HERO
Prince, Giant Canine, Saves
Life of Poodle.
Drags Dog from Street Car Tracks
and Carries Him to Doctor for
Treatment--His Second
Rescue.

Chicago Prince, great Dane dog
may take his place among the best
of men as a hero. He faced death
and suffered injury recently to save
a fluffy little poodle from being run
over by street car.
And, cut and bruised though he was,
he carried the poodle safely out of
danger to drug store, set his bur
den down before the clerks and plead
ed in dog language until doctor was
called and bandaged the broken leg
OF Princes rescued charge.
Prince has saved dog lives before
His master is Leo C. Klein, $40 North
Clark street. Prince takes long strolls
about Chicago, but his place is usually
on guard at his masters door, where
he can watch the world in action.
He was doing sentry duty, leaving

and then, when his chance to prove
his courage came.
poodle, quite too aristocratic tC
be walking the tracks in Clark street,
danced about in the street. Cars
were passing north and south. Bells
changed, horses stumbled, drivers
shouted and policemen tried to order
the traffic so that human beings could
cross the streets in safety.
No one noticed the frisky little
poodle. He did not seem to care much
about the rumpus around him. He
was evidently runaway from some
petting mistress, out for a lark
Swiftly a street car bore down on
him. 1t came from the north and
swept up behind him. The poodle was
gayly prancing while Prince sat quiet
ly at attention 20 yards away.
Prince knew that motormen do not
ring for dogs. He knew the danger.
Ordinarily he has little respect for
poodles, for they can neither run nor
fight. They are only pets, despised
little pretty things, toy dogs.
Like an arrow Prince shot from his
post. Between couples, against pedes-
trians, but straight for the poodle, he
sprang. He made the 20 yeards in an
instant He was a big brown flash.

car came over the poodle Prince
streaked under it and picked up the
little white thing in his mouth. There
was yelp of pain and fright from the
poodle. There was a swirl and whirl
of brown and white before the car
rolling along the track, as the motor
man, himself alarmed by the unusual
sight, threw on the air and slowed
down the car.
Prince still had his jaws clamped
on the nape of the poodle's neck. The
two rolled until Prince rolled onto his
feet He limped as he took few steps
He raised his head, looked back at his
masters front door and then started
across the street The crowd was
watching by this time. They saw the
big Dane carry the whimpering bun
die of slush-covered white down to
the corner of Ontario and Clark.
He entered the corner store, the
Malone drug store-laid the poodle on
the floor and sat back. Whines and
banks brought the clerks to him. They
saw the Dane nosing the poodle, who
lay on his side, with one leg in the air.
broken and twisted, with the bone
sticking out.
DR.. G. S. Malone, the proprietor
came from the rear and, while he
washed and bandaged in splints the
little dogs broken leg, Prince looked
on, evidently overseeing the work and
showing his approval.
Prince was hurt, himself He was
cut on the legs and side and the skin
was torn where he slid on the Have-
ment. But when DR. Malone turned
his attention to him Prince merely
growled his dislike, took the poodle
by the nape of the neck again and car
ried him back to his masters door.
He crawled under the swinging doors
and laid the poodle, his second known
rescue, at his astonished masters
feet.

ago, when he plunged into the ice Dor.

FOR PEARY
OPPOSED
SUB. OF THE HOUSE
VOTES AGAINST MAKING
HIM REAR ADMIRAL.

Washington. Feb. ll.-commander
Robert l.. Peary, dIscovcrer Of the
north pole. will not be given the rank
of rear admiral in the navy as pro-
posed in recognition of his services
as an explorer, II congress approves
the action of the subcommittee of the
house committee on naval affairs The
subcommittee voted today to report
adversely the bin offered by Senator
Hale and Representative Allen. The
committee Of six members voted
unanimously against bestowng the
honor upon Mr.. Peary.
A letter from Secretary Meyer was
received by the naval committee. Civ
ing Mr.. Peary's naval record and
stating that he should be designated
as "civll engineer" and not com
mander" Secretary Meyer said that
Mr. Peary enlisted in the navy on
October 20, 1881. and that he had had
more than 10 years in various leaves
OF absence. The secretary spoke Of Mr..
Pcary's discovery of the pole as a
"self-imposed" but most commendable
task, having no military or naval
significance. and recommended that
Mr.. Peary be retired as civil engi-
neer with the pay of rear admiral
Representative Roberts, a member OF
the SUBJ committee, said that he saw
no reason whatever for comforting
such an honor as was contemplated
upon Mr. Peary.
His discovery Of the north pole
said Mr.. Roberts, has been absolutely
of no benefit to the United States, to
civilization or to the naval service
as far as ! can see. He has been
absent from duty in the navy depart
ment most of the time he has been
connected with 1t and has done
nothing to entitle him to this honor
think probably congress might look
with favor on giving him some other
kind of recognition. For instance, II
his friends wanted him to receive o
gold medal or something of that sort
would be in favor of It,"
The salary Peary would receive as q
rear admiral retired for the rest of his
life. would have been $4,000 a year.
