including the smart gray suit of mems
clothes in which she had been ar.
rested; and her luggage and other
things which the manager of the hotel
where she had been stopping had
handed over to the police were all re-
turned; and when Spiro appeared at
the hotel to pay the small bill that
had been left owing, he held his head
as high as an oriental can when he
has got the better of any one, and
that is pretty high indeed. Further
more, Mr.. Pinney insisted on giving
Logotheti a formal document by
which Messrs. Pinney & Son bound
themselves to make good to him, his
heirs, or assigns. the loss of ruby.
approximately of certain weight and
quality which he had lost through
their carelessness.
On the day following Baraka's lib.
GRAFTON, Lady Maud received Marga-
} ret's pressing message begging her to
go to Bayreuth. The message reached
her before noon, about the time when
Margaret and her companions had
come back from their morning walk
and after hesitating for half an hour
she telegraphed that she would come
with pleasure and would start at once
which meant that evening.
She had just read the official &C.
count of the ruby case in its new as
) pect, anG~she did not believe a word
. of the story To her mind it was quite
clear that Logotheti was still infatu.
, ated with the girl, that he had come
, to London as fast as he could, and
} that he had deliberately sworn that
| the ruby was not his, but another one,
r in order to get her out of trouble. If
, 1t was not his it had not been stolen
( from Pinney's, and the whole case fell
through at once. If she was declared
= innocent the stone must be given back
1 to her; he would take 1t from her as
soon as they were alone and return
! 1t to his own pocket; and being an
t oriental, he would probably beat her
for robbing him, but would not let her
out of his sight again till he was tired
of her. Lady Maud had heard from
her late husband how all Turks be-
. lieved that women had no souls and
should be kept under lock and key
and then for the good of their tenn
!, pers This view was exaggerated, but
Lady Maud was in humor to recall
1t and accept 1t without criticism, and
. she made up her mind that before
= leaving town to Join Margaret she
= would make sure of the facts. Nc
friend of hers should marry a mar
capable of such outrageous deeds.
:. So she went to Logotheti's lodgings
. and asked to see him, as regardless OF
n what any one should think of her, II
she were recognized. as she had beer
in the old days when she used to &C
;, to Van Torp's chambers In the TEN
pie in the evening.
= She was told that Logotheti was
}, out of town. Where? The servant
" did not know that. The lady coult
q see the secretary, who might, per
= haps, tell her. He received every one
a who had business with Mons. Logo
!, theft.
v She went up one fight and was ad
mitted to a very airy sitting room
. simply furnished
:, The Swiss secretary rose ponder
ously to receive her, and as she die
