Samarkand, Tifiis, and Constantinople,
and she meekly acquiesced to every
thing that Logotheti and Nine. Anna
proposed, after putting their heads to-
gether. Logotheti seemed to know
great deal about it.
1t was nearly dark when the naph-
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 long message
of explanations and excuses, and sent
it to the prima donna at Bayreuth,
TRIPPING the number of words she had
prepaid for his answer. But no reply
came, for Margaret was 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-

business one from London or Paris,
giving him the latest confidential news
about a government lCan in which he
was largely interested. When he
reached the yacht he sent another
man to wait till midnight at the office.
The diva was angry, he thought;
that was clear, and perhaps she had
some right to be. The tone of her

Kralinsky bent his head twice, and
then inclined it towards her, to hear
better what she was going to say.

He made a slight movement, which
was natural under the circumstances.

said Kralinsky, with some little sur

surance.
do you really think you can de-
ceive me any longer?" she asked. Il
told you this afternoon that if you
could come back from the dead, and
know the truth, we should probably
forgive each other, though we had
many differences Shall we? She
paused a moment, and by his quick
change of position she saw that he
was much moved. Il don't mean that
we should ever go back to the old life,
for we were not suited to each
other from the first, you and l.

night. He had the effrOntery to say
that Baraka was a niece of his from
Constantinople, whose mother was on
board the yacht, but had unfortunate
ly sprained her ankle in falling down
the companion during gale, and
could therefore not accompany her
daughter on shore. The young lady,
he said, spoke only Turkish. Nine.
Anna, grave and magnifcently calm
under all circumstances, had a vague
recollection of having seen the hand
some oriental gentleman already with
another niece, who spoke only
French; but that was none of her
business When would the young lady
try on the things? On any day Nine.
Anna chose to name; but in the mean
time her uncle would take her down
to Sicily, as the weather was so Won
derfully fine and it was still so hot.
Nine Anna therefore named day,
and promised, moreover, to see the
best linen-drapers and seamStresses
herself, and to provide the young lady
with as complete an outfit as II she
were going to be married. She should
have all things visible and invisible
in the shortest possible time. Logo
theft, who considered himself stran-
ger, insisted on putting down thou
sand franc note merely as a guarantee
of good faith. The dressmaker pro-
tested almost furiously and took the
money, still protesting. So that was
settled, and Baraka was to be out
wardly changed into a beautiful Fer
inghi lady without delay. To tell the
truth, the establishment is really a
smart one, and she was favorably i'm
pressed by the many pretty frocks
and gowns that were tried on several
pretty young woman in order that she
might make her choice.
Baraka would have liked a blue
satin skirt with yellow train and a
bright green silk body, but in her
travels she had noticed that the
taste of Feringhi ladies was for
very sober or gentle colors, compared

S5araka, a Tartar sirl, became enamored
~ 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 py dne
trance, and drew off the water supply,
leaving the couple to die. Baraka's cousin
Saad, her betrothed, attempted to CHIMP
The traveller shot him. The stranger was
revived from a water gourd Saad car
ried, dug his way out of the tunnel, and
departed, deserving the girl and carrying
4 bag of rubies. Baraka gathered all the
gems she could carry, and started IN puT-
suit Margaret Dome (Margarita da
Cordova), famous prima donna, became
engaged in London to KOnstantin Io-
gotheti a wealthy Greek financier: Her
intimate friend was Countess Leven;
known as Lady Maud, whose husband
burg; and Lady Maud's most intimate
friend was Rufus Van Torp, an Ameri-
can, who had become one of the richest
men in the world. Van Torp was in love
soon as he heard of her betrothal. He
offered Lady Maud 100000 for her pet
charity If she would aid him in winning
the singer from Logotheti. Baraka ap-
preached Logotheti at Versailles with
rubies to sell. He presented a ruby to
Margaret. Van TOrp bought yacht and
sent it to Venice. He was visited by
Baraka in male attire She gave him
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-.
sented her with the ruby Baraka had
given him. Count Kralinsky, 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 Logotheti
Two strangers were the thieves. Lady
Maud believed that Logotheti's associa-
tons with Baraka were open to suspl-
ciOn, and so informed Margaret. Van
Torn believed that Kralinsky 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. LOgOtheti succeeds in mOderatlng
her rage. Lady Maud arrived in Bay
TeuJh. 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.

Improved Cutting 5Iowpipe.

The cutting blowpipe, of which so
many surprising things have been re-
ported, has recently been improved in
France in a way to render it more
generally useful. Two infammable
gases must be employed. One is re-
uuired to keep the metal at a high
temperature The other is oxygen to
concentrate action by oxidation along
the line of the cut. For heating, either
coal gas, acetylene or hydrogen is
employed, but as there is sometimes
difficulty in procuring supply Of
those gases, the new blowpipe is ar
ranged to use instead Of the ordinary
gasoline employed by motorists.

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.

reason why [ chose to disappear from

Philadelphia, Pa - There Is one

Ora Kress, a junior at the Woman's
Medical college. Miss Kress Is vege-

meat from the time of her birth, %
years ago.
Her father, DR.. ID. H. Kress, super
intendent of the Seventh Day Advent

Is an ardent advocate Of vegetarian
ism, and he has brought up his daugh-

Miss Kress is none the worse off
for her abstinence from meat. Healthy
and robust, with clear complexion,
a pleasant temperament and genial
disposition, she is the favorite of
friends and fellow-students.
Time and again her chums endeav-
ored to tempt her with "sirloin, well
DONE" or a brown turkey drumstick,
but she resisted the temptation.
