CHAPTER XII.

On the morning after the transac-
ton last described, Van Torp's atten'
ton was arrested by sensational
"scare-head' about thief and ruby
worth $4,000. Some disaffected col
league in London had known, or
cleverly guessed, where the stone was
that had been stolen from Mr.. Pin
news, and had informed the police;
the nice-looking young fellow who
spoke like an English gentleman had
walked directly into the arms of the
plain-clothes man waiting for him on
the pier in New York, the stone had
been found sewn up in his waistcoat,
and his pleasant career OF liberty mad
ended abruptly in a cell.
Mr.. Van Torp whistled softly as he
read the account a second time. Then
he neatly cut the column out OF the
paper, folded it with great precision
smoothed it with care and placed it in
his pocket-book next to cheap little
photograph of Nine. da Cordova as
Juliet" which he had bought in a
music shop in New York the day after
he had heard her for the first time,
and had carried in his pocket ever
since.
He took up the mutilated newspa
per and looked up and down the col
umns, and among other information
which he gathered in few moments
was the fact that Logotheti's yacht
had passed Capt Saint Vincent, going
east, owner and party on board" The
previous telegram had not escaped
him, and if he had entertained any
doubts as to the destination of the
Erinna, they vanished now. She was
certainly bound for the Mediterranean

He turned the page round, and
handed it to her. The writing was
large and perfectly legible, but very
different from the commercial" hand
of most American business men. Any
one word, taken at random, might
have seemed uniformed, at first sight,
but the appearance of the whole was
oddly strong and symmetrical. Mar
garet read the clauses carefully. She
herself had already signed good
many legal papers in connection with
her engagements and her own small
fortune, and the language was not SO
unfamiliar to her as it would have
been to most women.

She wrote Margaret Dome" at the
foot of the page in her large and rath
er irregular hand, and passed the pa
per back to Van Torp, who signed it

Spider Colonies,

Our native spiders are notable for
their extreme unsociability. Of those
which are spinners each one con-
structs it's web apart from those of
it's kind. And those which hunt pur-
sue their prey alone, says the London
Globe.
In other countries, however, there
are spiders which live in communities,
and one such, native of Mexico, is
described by M. L. Diguet. 1t is known
as the mosquero and makes a large
nest in oaks and other trees. Here
the spiders live gregariously and along
with them in the nest is found mi
mute beetle and another species of spi-
der. The beetle is said to act as
scavenger. Parts Of the nest Of the
mosquero are hung up in the houses
during the wet season to get rid of the
flies

"Yes, sir. He got here this MORN
ing from Vienna in his motor, sir, and
sent his things with his man, and his
compliments to you and the ladies.
and he will come on board in time for
dinner. That was all, think, SIR"
Lady Maud heard, and made q
scarcely perceptible movement of the
head by way of thanks to her friend.
while listening to Margaret's enthusi-
astic praise of everything she saw Mr..
Van Torp and his man departed, just
as Potts appeared, accompanied by q
very neatlooking English stewardess
in smart white cap. Lady Maud was
unusually silent, but she smiled pleas
antly at what Margaret said, and the
latter made up her mind to drown her
anger against Logotheti, and at the
same time be avenged on him, in an
orgy of luxurious comfort, sea-air, and
sunshine. The capacity of perfectly
healthy and successful singer for en-
joying everything, from halfpenny
bun and a drive in hanson to mil
lionaire's yacht and the most expen-
sive fat of the land, or sea, has never
been measured And if they do have
| terrible fits of temper now and then,
who shall blame them? They are al
ways sorry for it, because it is bad
for the voice.
Mr.. Van Torp reached his quarters.
and prepared to scrub and dress COM
fortably after a week at Bayreuth and
railroad journey.
Lady Maud did not begin to dress &C
once, as there was plenty of time be-
fore dinner; she left the stewardess to
unpack her things, and came out upon
the six-foot gangway outside her cab
in door to breathe the air, for it was
warm. The city lay half mile away
in the afterglow of the sunset.
But she felt none of that healthy
pleasure which lovely sight naturally
gave her. She was at crisis of her
life, and the exquisite evening scene
was the battlefield Of a coming strug-
gle, with herself, or with another, she
hardly knew. In half an hour, or in
an hour, at most, she was to sit at Ia
BILE with a man she fully believed to
be the husband for whom she had
been wearing mourning, out Of mere
decency, but with the profound inward
satisfaction of being free.

He waved the sheet slowly to and fro,
to dry the ink.

his inner pocket and held out his hand
in a cheerful, business-like manner.
shall we shake hands on it?" he
asked.
"By all means" Margaret answered
readily, and their eyes met; but she
drew back her hand again before tax
ing his. "This is purely matter OF
business between u.s." she said, you
understand that? 1t means nothing
else?"

swered Rufus Van Torp, slowly and
gravely.

CHAPTER XIII.

The millionaire did things hand
somely. He offered to motor his party
to Venice, and as Margaret declined,
because motoring was bad for her
voice, he telegraphed for a comfort
able special carriage, and took his
friends down by railroad, and they
were all very luxuriously comfortable.
Kralinsky was not on board the
yacht when they came alongside at
sunset in two gondolas, following the
steam-launch, which carried the load
of luggage and the two maids.
Stemp led the way. and Mr.. Van
Torp took the three ladies' to their
cabins; first, Mrs. Rushmore, who was
surprised and delighted by the rich
and gay appearance of hers. for it
was entirely decorated in pink and
gold.
On the writing-table stood a tall,

gilt vase full of immense pink roses,
with stems nearer four feet long than
three. Mrs. Rushmore admired them
very much.
How did you know that 1 love
roses above all other flowers?" she
asked. my dear Mr.. Van Torp, you
are a wizard, Pm sure!"
Lady Maud and Margaret entered,
| and kept up a polite little chorus of
admiration but they both felt uneasy
as to what they might find in their re-
| spective cabins, for Margaret hated
pink, and Lady Maud detested gild-
ing, and neither of them was especial
| ly fond of roses. They left Mrs. Rush
more very happy in her quarters and
went on. Lady Mauds turn came next,
and she began to understand, when
she saw a quantity of sweet wood vio-
let's on her table, just loosened, in an
old Murano glass beaker.
Thank you," she said, bending to
smell them. How kind Of you!"
There was not trace of gliding or
pink silk The cabin was paneled and
| fitted in rare natural wood of a
creamy-white tint,
BEG pardon, my lady," said Stemp.
This and Miss Donne's cabin COM
municate by this door, and the door
aft goes to the dressing-room. Each
cabin has one quite Independent, and
this bell rings the pantry, my lady,
and this one rings Miss Donne's
maids cabin, as | understand that
your ladyship has not brought her own
maid with her.
VERY NICE" said Lady Maud, smell
ing the violets again.
Stemp threw open the door of COM
munication to the cabin he had pre-
pared for the prima donna. The two
cabins occupied the whole beam of the
vessel excepting the six-foot gangway
on each side, and as she was one OF
the largest yachts afoat at the time
there was no lack of room.
Carnations, at this time of year,
cried Margaret, seeing half an arm
full of her favorite dark red ones, in q
silver wine-cooler before the mirror
You really seem to know everything
Thank you so much!"
She buried her handsome face in the
splendid flowers and drew in deep
warm breath, full of their sensuouS
perfume, the spicy scent of lader
clove-tree under tropical sun.
THANK you again." she said en-
Enthusiastically Thank you for every
thing, the delightful journey, and this
lovely room, and the carnations!"
She stood up suddenly to her height
in sheer pleasure, and held out he
hand to him. He pressed it quietly
and smiled.
"Do as you would be done by" HI
said. That's the company's rule"
She laughed at the allusion to thei
agreement, of which Lady Maud knew
nothing, for they had determined t.
keep it secret for the present.
Mr.. Van Torp had not found an op
portunity of speaking to Lady Maut
alone, but he wished her to know
when Kralinsky might be expected.
"Stemp," he said, before leaving thu
cabin, have you heard from thu
count?"

COMES TO CLOSE
SALE OF STREET
Bishop Extension Brings Rudolph
SpreckeIs for a Short
Stay in City.

Coming feF the express purpose Of
closing the deal by which sTt govern
ment secures property Tor the Bishop
stree. extension, Rudolph Spreckels
stepped ashore yesterday from the Mat
son steamer Wilhemlna He viii stay
but few days in the city and expects
III that time to close the negotiations.
He stated yesterday at the Moana
, where ne IS guest, that all the ar
engagements have been made and lack
but few minor details. The two build
ings which abut on the property to be
transferred to the Territory will have
to be moved or remodeled and he will
also look after this personally so far
as his short stay in the city permits.
The lease under which the buildings
were erected. he states, was made so
that they would not prevent the open
ing of the street and Will consequently
throw no hindrance in the way of an
, immediate contamination of the deal.
1.-The federal building site question
is settled in my mind he said. cup to
the point where the question of value
comes in. The congressional appropria
ton can be used for nothing except the
purchase of the extension which is de-
sired for the Mahuka site If the sum
appropriated appears too small in the
eyes of the jury l suppose the matter
will require further consideration if the
Mahuka site is too small as they say"
Mr.. Spreckels heard of the Times
disaster while at sea and was greatly
shocked The Times attacks on him
during the graft trials in San Francisco
brought that paper more or less into
intimate association with him even if
the relations were not cordial and the
destruction of its buildings was on that
account the more felt.

LOCAL ARTISTS
WIN APPLAUSE

The Herzer- Caceres recital, given IN
the ballroom Of the Young Hotel last
evening was more of a success, arts
tically and otherwise, than has been
the general musical evening in Homo
lulu. Both young artists received I'M
stinted applause and both had to re-
spond to repeated encores. The room
was comfortably filled with pleased
listeners. many of those present being
from the various army posts of the is
land.
1t is some time since Honolulans have
had an opportunity of hearing Mrs.
Herzer, and her voice appears to have
rounded out and acquired additional
volume. She has, in addition to her
musical talent. a most pleasing plat
form manner, and her appreciation of
the applause that followed each one of
her numbers was shown in her frank
smiles of pleasure.
Mr.. Caceres scored distinctly in his
share Of the program. which was rather
a large one. as he not only played four
numbers, but appeared in each of Mrs
Herzer' 5 numbers as accompanies,
Added to this. three of Mrs. Herzeras
selections-and judged by many as her
three most pleasing ones-were songs
written by him.
When one considers that Mr. Caceres
Is blind. learning all his music from
he raised characters, his work at the
piano Is marvellous.
IN many ways the Arditi selection
sung by Mrs Herzer was her best. This
rppling. staccato music suits her voice
better than the slower selections with
sustained notes.
Following the recital, the two artists
received many welI-deserved compli-
ments. in which Hugo Herzer, his wife :
teacher. shared.
