They were followed to the cave by the
girls relatives. who blocked up the en-
trance. and drew of the water supply.

Saad. her betrothed. attempted to CHIMP
down a cliff overlooking the mine: but
the traveller shot him. The stranger was
revived from a water gourd Saau car,
departed. deserting the girl and carrying
a bag of rubies. Baraka gathered all the
gems she could carry. and started In pur-
suit Margaret Donne Marsafh,aa an ia ,aa. na
engaged In London 10 konstantin Lo-
gotheti. wealthy Greek fnancier; Her
intimate friend was vas Countess @ ,d.nai neven;
had been killed by a bomb in st. Peters
burg: and Lady Maud's 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 he heard of her betrothal. He
offered Lady Maud $4,000 for her pet
charity II she would aid him in winning
the singer from Logotheti. Baraka ap-
preached I.ogotheti at Versailles with
Margaret. Van Torp bought a yacht and
sent IL to Venice. He was visited by
Baraka in male attire. She gave him a
ruby after the American had told her of
having seen In the United States a man
answering the description of the one she
loved. The American followed Margaret
to the Bayreuth "Parsifai" festival Mar.
garet took a liking TO Van Torp who pre-.
sented her with the ruby Baraka had
given him. Count kralinsky. a Russian.
arrived at Bayreuth. Van Torp believed
him to be the one Baraka was pursuing.
Baraka was arrested In London on the
charge of stealing from Pinney. a jew
eler, the ruby she had sold to Lcgothei.
Two strangers were the thieves. Lady
Maud believed that Logotheti's associa-
tiens with Baraka were open to suspi-
cion. and so informed Margaret. Van
Torn believed that Kraiinsky was the
cowboy he had known In his young man
hood. Logotheti secured Baraka's re-
lease. and then. with her as his guest.
went to sea on his yacht Erinna. Baraka
explains her plans for revenge on the
man who had deserted her and left her
to die. Logothed succeeds In moderating
her rage. Lady Maud arrived in Bay
reuth. Margaret and Van Torp entered
into an agreement to build a tremendous
opera house In New York. The thief who
stole the ruby from Mr.. Pinney was ar
rested In New York and the stone re-
covered. Lady Maud confided to Van
Torp that she believed kralnsky to be
the husband she had believed dead. Van
Torp promised his help to unravel the
mystery.

McALEER LIKES BECK.
Says Henry Can Handle Walter John
sons Most Speedy Shoots.

THAT was a strange tale sent out
about Walter Johnson recently" said
Jim McAleer, manager of the Wash.
ington club. 81 read where my big
pitcher was forced to let up on his
speed because Catcher Beckendorfs
hands were crippled, forcing him to
retire. and because Catcher Henry
couldn't hold the big fellow.
THAT is all wrong and is an injus-
tice to Henry. He's young fellow,
just out of college. and never had any
baseball experience outside of the
playing with his school team. Johnson
has world of speed and shoots them
over fast, but Henry was able to
handle his curves, benders and
straight ones. He was hit on the arm
by foul tip late in the game, which
probably caused those pencil pushers
to say that Johnson's speed affected
him.
