Van Torp understand what she meant

the sun shone through the clouds at
that moment and streamed into the
room; she pointed to It at once,

He pointed in that direction. and
thrust out his arm as II he would
make it reach much further II he
could. At this Barak looked deeply
disappointed. Several times, to show
that she meant London, or at least
England, she pointed to the floor at
her feet and looked inquiringly at Van
Torp. but he shook his head and
pointed to the west again, and made a
gesture that meant crossing some
thing. He spoke to her as If she could
understand.

He turned his eyes thoughtfully to

his sleeve and pretended to write In

went through all the descriptive ges-
lures again, and then once more pre-
tended to write. and coaxingly pushed
him towards a little table on which
she saw writing materials.

voice was so deliciously soft and be-
seeching that he yielded, and sat down
at the small table and wrote out an
address from memory. He handed her
the half-sheet of paper when he had
dried the writing and had looked oter
il carefully.
Poor little thing" he said in
tone OF pity. IF you ever find him
he'll eat you"
Barak again showed signs of great
emotion when she put the address
into an inside pocket of her mans
coat, but it was not of the same kind
as before. She took Van Torp's big
hand in both her own, and, bending
down. she laid II on her head, meaning
that he might dispose of her life ever
afterwards. Rut he did not under

Exactly" assented Logotheti. "And,
oddly enough. the first OF those stories
is about Samarkand. which is not so
far from Baraka's native village. II

ally supposed that II was the capital
OF the world, and that her man. being

CHAPTER V

'
Mr.. Van Torp knew no more about
Bayreuth than about Samarkand. be-
yond the fact that at certain stated
times performances OF Wagner's
operas were given there with as much
solemnity as great religious festivals.
and that musical people spoke OF the
Bayreuth season in a curfously rever.
cnt manner. lie would have been
much surprised II any one had told
him that he often whistled fragments
of "Parsifai" 10 himself and liked the
sound Of them; for he had a natural
ear and q good memory. and had
whistlod remarkably well when he
was a boy.
The truth about this seemingly i'm
possible circumstance was really very
simple In what he called bis COW.
punching days. he had been Tor sin
months in company with two young
men who used to whistle softly to
gether by the hour beside the cAmp
fire. and none OF the other boys" had
ever heard the strange tunes they
seemed to Ike best. but Van Torp
had caught and remembered many
fragments. almost unconsciously, and
he whistled them TO himself because
they gave him a sensation which no
real music" ever did. Extraordinary
natures, like his. are often endowed
with unnoticed gifts and tastes quite
unlike those OF most people. No one
knew anything about the young men
who whistled Wagner: the Lost
Legion" hides many secrets, and the
two were not popular with the rest,
though they knew their business and
did their work fairly well. One of
them was afterwards said 10 have
been killed in a shooting ARRAY and
the other had disappeared about tie
same time. no one knew how, or
cared, though Mr.. Van Torp thought
he had recognized him once many
years later. They were neither Amer
leans nor Englishmen, though the
both spoke English well. and never
were heard TO use any other language

But Barak now understood what he
was going 20 do, and ran before him.
and stood before the door in an atti-
tude which expressed entreaty so
clearly that Mr.. Van Torp was puz-
Eled.
WELL" he said, standing still and
looking into the beautiful imploring
eyes, what on earth do you want
now, Miss Barrack? Try and explain
yourself"
A very singular conversation by
signs now began.
Barak pointed to the waistcoat peck
ct into which he had put the stone.
The matter concerned that, of course,
and Van Torp nodded. Next, though
after considerable difficulty, she made
him understand that she was asking
how he had got 1t, and when this was
clear. he answered by pretending to
count out coins with his right hand
on the palm of his left to explain that
he had bought IT, There was no mis-
taking this, and Barak nodded quickly
and went on to her next question.
She wanted to know what kind of a
man had sold him the ruby. She i'm
proyised a pretty little dumb show in
which she represented the seller and
Mr.. Van Torp the buyer of the ruby,
and then by gestures she asked II the
man who sold II was tall.
Van Torp raised his hand several
inches higher than his own head. lie
had bought the ruby from a very tall
man. Putting both hands to her chin
and then drawing them down as II
stroking a long beard. she inquired II
the man had one. and again the an
swer was Affirmative. She nodded ex-
citedly and pointed first TO Van Torp's
sandy hair and then to her own short
black locks. The American pointed to
his own, and then touched his watch
chain and smiled. The mans hair
was fair. and even golden. BY a sSmr
liar process she ascertained that iIS
eyes were blue and not black. and her
excitement grew. Last Of ali she tried

Berkeley Baptists Dedicate Site
for Their New Church With
Unique Ceremony

BERKELEY. June 26.-Before sew
eral hundred spectators and members
of the congregation Rev Richard NJ
Vaughan, pastor of the First Baptist
church of this city, welded a pick this
afternoon, breaking ground for the
new church to be erected at the corner
of Haste and Dana streets.
The ceremonies were unique but
brief, the chief event besides the break
ing of the ground being short ad-
dress by DR.. C. NJ. Hill, president of
the Berkeley bible seminary, who out
lined the future of the church for
which the site was dedicated. Rev.
Z. A. Woods, former pastor of the First
Baptist church of San Francisco, de-
livered the invoca ation. The remainder
of the program consisted OF scripture
readings by Rev. c. NJ. Jones of San
Francisco and congregational singing.
The new church. the plans for which
probably will be completed next week,
will be one of the largest and most
elaborate in this city. The specifica-
tions will be passed upon by the church
building committee tomorrow night
when that organiza ton will meet in
the Sunday school rooms of the present
church TO look over estimates and re-
reive bids for furnishing the edifice.
Next Sunday will be the last occa-

preach before leaving for vacation.
He expects to spend about a month in

the balloon to be manipulated by en-
gines stationed below the huge silk
bag A passenger car suspended from
the balloon provided room for 10 or
II people. The proposed flight caused
intense interest far and wide.
On the day when the attempt was
TO have been made, it was discovered
that the silk bag had been either acct
dentally or maliciously slit. The flight
was postponed, and the accident~to the
silk bag caused a lack of confidence
in the scheme on the part of stock
holders.
At the beginning of this week the
promoter packed up his household eff
fects and the big balloon and left for
San Diego. where, according to word
received here. sufficient financial sup
