1OOx24o IN DIMENSION
Work of Erecting It Will Be Begun As

Ground-Strueture to Be Used For

The first important move to be made
by the recently reorganized Lennox
Machine Company to enlarge and re-
model the company's plant will be the
erection of an immense new building
on property adjoining the old factory.
Plans for this building are now being
considered, and the work of erecting it
is to be begun as soon as the frost is
out of the ground.
The structure contemplated will be
100x240 feet, ground dimensions, and
one story in height. 1t Will be of steel
and probably brick. or other fire proof
building material Since the detailed
plans have not Yet been prepared
close estimate OF the cost is not known,
but Secretary Morey, OF the company,
said this morning that it would cost
at least $4,000, and perhaps as much
as $4,000

The exact location of the building

the building depends in part upon the

SYNOPSIS.

Baraia Tartar girl, became enamored
nj 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 mine
OF rubies hoping that the stranger would
love her in return for her disclosure.
They were followed to the cave by the
girls relatives who blocked up the en-
trance. and drew off the water supply,
leaving the couple to die. Baraka's cousin
saad. her betrothed, attempted to climb
down a cliff overlooking the mine; but
The traveller shot him. The stranger was
revived from n water gourd Saad car
ried dug his way out of the tunnel, ana
denarted, deserving the girl and carrying
a bag OF rubies. Baraka gathered all the
gems she could carry. and started In pur-
suit Margaret Donne (Margarita ia
Cordoya). a famous prima donna, became
engaged in London to Konstantin Lo-
aofheti a wealthy Greek financier: Her
Ultimate friend was Countess Leven,
known as Lady Maud. whose husband
had been killed by bomb in st. Peters
burg: and Lady Maud's most intimate
friend was Rufus Van Torp, an Ameri-
can. who had been cowboy In early
life but had become one of the richest
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 100000 for her pet

leaving the room, as she probably
would have done, Margaret did not
like it. She was dying to ask him
questions about his lessons in Tartar,
and especially about his teacher, and
she probably meant to cast her in
quiries in such form as would make
it preferable to examine him alone
rather than before Mrs. Rushmore;
but he talked on and on, only pausing
an instant for the good lady's express
sions of interest or approval
He was telling her what prime
minister had told an ambassador
about the pope, when Margaret rose
rather abruptly.
I'm awfully sorry" she said to Mrs
Rushmore, by way of apology. but l
really must have little air. I've not
been out of the house all day"
Mrs, Rushmore understood, and was
not hurt, though she was sorry not to
hear more. The dear child" should
go out, by all means. Would Mons
Logotheti stay to dinner? No? She
was sorry. She had forgotten that
she had letter to write in time for
the afternoon post So she went off
and left the two together.
Margaret led the way out upon the
lawn, and they sat down on garden
chairs under a big elm tree. She said
nothing while she settled herself very
deliberately, avoiding her compan-
ions eyes till she was quite ready, and
then she suddenly looked at him with
a sort of blank stare that would
have disconnected any one less SUI
perlatively self-possessed than he was
1t was most distinctly Nine. de Cor
dova, the offended prima donna, that
spoke at last, and not Miss Margaret
Donne, the nice English girl"
What in the world has got into
you?" she inquired in a chilly tone,
He opened his almond-shaped eyes
a little wider with an excellent af-
fectation of establishment at her words
and manner
Have I done anything you don't
like?" lie asked in a tone of anxiety
and concern. WAS | rude to Mrs.
Rushmore?"
Margaret looked at him moment
longer, and then turned her head
away in silence, as II scornng to an
swer such z silly question. The look
of surprise disappeared from his face,
and he became very gloomy and
thoughtful but said nothing more.

"Potts," She Said Suddenly, and Then
Stopped

You are quite sure that 1t was
your brother who was speaking, sup
pose she said.
"Oh, yes, ma'am! looked down
over the banisters, and there he was!"
Margaret had the solid health of
great singer, and 1t would have been
a serious trouble indeed that could
have interfered with her unbroken
and dreamless sleep during at least
eight hours; but when she closed her
eyes that night she was quite sure
that she could not have slept at all
but for Potts comforting little story
about the brother with the counter
tenor" voice. Yet even So at the mo-
ment before waking in the morning,
she dreamt that she was at the tele-
phone again, and that words in a
strange language came to her along
the wire in a soft and caressing tone
that could only be a woman's, and
that for the first time in all her life
she knew what it was to be jealous.
The sensation was not an agreeable
one.
as she opened her eyes, but she had
not been awake long without realiz-
ing that she wished very much to see
Logotheti at once, and was profoundly
thankful that she had torn up her let
ter to Lady Maud. She was not pre-
pared to admit, even now, that Kon-
stantin was the ideal she should have
oh hut ,r-bn he
had been describing from Imagination
when she had suddenly stopped writ
ing. But, on the other hand, the mere
thought that he had perhaps been
amusing himself in the society of an
other woman all yesterday afternoon
made her so angry that she took
refuge in trying to believe that he had
spoken the truth and that she had
really been mistaken about the voice.
II was all very well to talk about
learning Tartar How could she be
sure that il was not modern Greek or
Turkish? She could not have known
the difference. Was it so very unlikely
that some charming compatriot Of his
should have come from Constantine
She remembered the mysterious house
in the Boulevard Pereire where he
lived. the beautiful upper hall where
the statue of Aphrodite stood, the
doors that would not open like other
doors, the MISUNDERSTANDING en-
! caustic painting of Cleopatra in the
| drawing room-many things which she
| distrusted.
Besides, supposing that the language
was really Tartar-were there not
| Russians who spoke it? She thought
there must be. because she had q
vague idea that all Russians We're
more or less Tartars. There was a
proverb about IT. Moreover ia the
English as well as to the French, Rus
SLAMS represent romance and wicked
ness.
She would not go to the telephone
/ herself, but she sent a message to Lo-
gotheti and he came out in the cool
time of the afternoon. She thought
he had never looked so handsome and
so little exotic since she had known
/ him
He was received by Mrs. Rushmore
and Margaret together, and he took
noticeable pains to make himself
agreeable to the mistress Of the house.
Al first Margaret was pleased at this;
but when she saw that he was doing
his best to keep Mrs Rushmore from
