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 a mine
of rubies hoping that the stranger would
love her in return for her disc hn tSs

trance, and drew of the water supply.
leaving the couple to die. Baraka's cousin
Saad, her betrothed. attempted to Gimp
down a cliff overlooking the mine; but
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 In pur-
suit. Margaret Dome CMargarita da
Cordova), a famous prima donna, became
engaged In London to Konstantin Lo-
gotheti, a wealthy Greek ~financier; Her
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 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 1900, 600 for her pet
the singer from Logotheti. Baraka APP
preached I.ogotheti at Versailles with
rubies to sell. He presented a ruby to
sent it 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 "Parsifal" festival. Mar
garet took a liking to Van Torp, who pre-.
scented her with the ruby Baraka had
given him. Count Kralinsky, a Russian,
arrived st B~ayreuth. 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 L~cgotheti.
Two strangers were the thieves. Lady
Maud believed that Logotheti's associa-
tons with Baraka were open to suspi-
cion. and SO informed Margaret. Van
Torp believed that Kralinsky was the
cowboy he had known in his young man.

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. L%ogotheti 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 Kralinsky to be
the husband she had believed dead. Van
Torp promised his help to unravel the
mystery.

CHAPTER XIV.

While the Lancashire Lass was ra-
cling down to the Straits of Messina
the Erinna was heading for the same
point from the opposite direction, no
longer dawdling along at half-speed,
but going her full 16 knots, after coal
ing at Naples, and any navigator who
knew the positions and respective
speeds of the two yachts could have
calculated with approximate precision
the point at which they would prob
ably sight each other.
Logotheti had given up the idea Of
taking Baraka to Paris, if he had ever
really entertained it at all. He as
sured her that Naples was a great
city, too, and that there was a first
class French dress-making establish
ment there, and that the Vile de
Lyon would turn her out almost as
smartly as the Rue de la Paix itself.
He took Baraka ashore and placed
her for half a day in the hands of

believed most firmly to be right, and
1t had not been easy. She had not
been surprised by his patient silence
while she had been talking: for she
had felt that it was hers to speak and
his to listen.
Thank you," she said now. Il shall

neither more nor less. / suppose you
will have conscience enough not to

woman's happiness depended on 1t, l
would consent to divorce you, but you
shall never divorce me"
"No power could make me wish to-"
Kralinsky answered, still deeply
moved. Il was mad in those days,
Maud; I was beside myself, between
my debts and my entanglements with
women not fit to touch your shoes.
I've seen it all since. That is the chief
reason why / chose to disappear from
society when / had the chance, and
become some one else! l swear to
you, on my mothers soul in heaven.

Do you think l could be as bad as
that?. But I'm not defending myself
how could 1? AIN the right is on
your side, and all the wrong on mine.
And now--I would give heaven and
earth to undo it all and to come back
to you!"
Lady Maud drew as far as she could
into the corner where the farmhouse
joined the engine skylight. She had
not expected this; it was toe much re-
pentance; it was too like a real at
tempt to win her again. He had not
seen her for more than three months;

and she meekly acquiesced to every
thing that Logotheti and Nine. Anna
proposed, after putting their heads to-

great deal about it.

tina launch took them out to the yacht.
which lay under the mole where the
big English and German passenger
steamers and the men-of-war are
moored.
Logotheti had at last received Mar
garet's telegram asking him to meet
her at once. 1t had failed to reach
him in Gibraltar, and had been tele-
graphed on thence to Naples, and
when he read it he was considerably
disturbed. He wrote a long message
of explanations and excuses, and sent
it to the prima donna at Bayreuth,
tripling the number of words she had
prepaid for his answer. But no reply
came, for Margaret vas herself at
sea and nothing could reach her. He
sent one of his own men from the
yacht to spend the day at the tele-
graph Office, with instructions for
finding him if any message came. The
man found him three times, and
brought three kilograms: and each
time as he tore open the little folded
brown paper he felt mere uncomfor-

time that the message was only a
business one from London or Paris,
giving him the latest confidential news
about a government lean in which he
was largely interested. When he
reached the yacht he sent another
man to wait till midnight at the office.

telegram had been peremptory In the
extreme, and now that he had an
swered it after a delay of several
days, she refused to take any notice
of him. 1t was not possible that such
a parsonage as she was should have
left Bayreuth without leaving clear in
structions for sending on any tele-
grams that might come after she left.
At this time of year, Is he knew, she
was beset with offers of engagements
to sing, and they had to be answered.
From eight o'clock in the morning to
midnight there were Is hours, ample
time for a retransmitted message to
reach her anywhere in Europe and to
be answered. Logotheti felt a sensa-
ton OF deep relief when the man came
aboard at a Quarter-past midnight and
reported himself empty handed: but
he resolved to wait till the following
evening before definitely leaving
Naples for the ten days which must
elapse before Baraka could try on her
beautiful Feringhi clothes.
He told her anything he liked, and
she believed him, or was Indifferent;
for the idea that she must be as well
dressed as any European woman
when she met the man she was seek
ing had appealed strongly to her, and
the sight Of the pretty things at Nine.
Anna's had made her ashamed OF her
simple little ready-made serges and
bl0uses. Logotheti assured her that
Kralinsky was within easy reach, and
showed no inclination to travel far.
There was news Of him In the tele-
grams received that day, the Greek
said. Spies were about him and were
watching him for her, and so far he
had shown no inclination to admire
any Feringhi beauty.
Baraka accepted all these inyen-
tions without doubling their veracity.

Once upon a time a fond mother
disapproved of her daughter marrying.
This was the more awkward because
the young lady had picked the young

Anna, grave and magnificently calm

Fargo has the distinction of expert
encing two strikes in comparatively
rapid succession, when the union book
binders in the employ of Walker Bros

morning and walked out. A total OF
ten men and five girls left their work
The strike followed the refusal of the
Arm to raise the wages of the girls
fifty cents week. There was no other
point of contention.
The knight Printing Co. conceded
the demand and signed a new scale
with the bookbinders and no trouble
was experienced at that office.
