SYNOPSIS.

Baraka, a Tartar girl, became enamored
of 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 a mine
of rubies hoping hat the stranger would
owe 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.

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
a bag of rubies. Baraka gathered all the
gems she could carry, and started in pur-
suit. Margaret Dome (Margarita da
Cordova), a famous prima DONNA, became
engaged in London to Konstantin Lo-
gotheti. a wealthy Greek %financier. Her
known as Lady Maud, whose husband
had been killed by a bomb in st. Peters,
burg: and Lady Maud's most intimate
friend was Rufus Van Torp. an Ameri-
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 5000, 900 for her pet
charity if she would aid him in winning
preached Logotheti at Versailles with
rubies to sell. He presented a ruby to
Margaret. Van Torp bought a yacht and
sent it to Venice. He was visited by
Baraka in male attire. She CAV him a

answering the description of the one she
loved. TIL American followed Margaret
to the Bayreuth "Parsifar' festival. Mar

given him.

CHAPTER VII.

When Van Torp and Logotheti left
Mr.. Pinney's shop, the old jeweler
meant to have a good look at the
ruby the Greek had brought him, and
vas going to weigh it, not merely as
a matter Of business, for he weighed
every stone that passed through his
hands from crown diamonds to sparks,
but with genuine curiosity, because in
a long experience he had not seer
very many rubies of such a size, which
also of such fine quality, and he
wondered where this one had been
found.
Just then, however, two well-dressed
young men entered the shop and
came up to him. He had never seer
either Of them before. but their looks
inspired him with confidence; and
when they spoke, their tone was that
of English gentlemen, which all 9th
er Englishmen find 1t practically Inn
possible to initiate, and which had
been extremely familiar to Mr.. Pin
ney from his youth. Though he was

duty.
In the bag there were several
screws of paper, which were found to
contain uncut rubies of different sizes
to a large value. But there was one,
much larger than the others, which
Mr.. Van Torp had not seen that morn
ing. Mr.. Pinney looked at it very
carefully, held it to the light, laid it
on a sheet of paper, and examined it
long in every aspect. He was a con-
scientious man.
"To the best of my belief" he de-
posed. "this is the stone that was on
my counter half an hour ago, and for
which this piece of green glass was
substituted. 1t is the property Of a
customer of mine, Mons. Konstantin
Logotheti of Paris, who brought it to
me this morning to be cut. l think it
may be worth between nine and ten
thousand pounds. I can say nothing
as to the identity of the paper, for
tissue paper is very much alike every
where"
'The woman" observed the officer
in charge of the station, appears to
steal nothing but rubies. 1t looks like
a queer case. Well lock up the two,
Mr.. Pinney, and if you will be kind
enough to look in tomorrow morning,
I'm sure the magistrate won't keep you
waiting for the case"
Vastly relieved and comforted, Mr..
Pinney returned to his shop. For
mality required that the ruby itself,
with the others in the bag, should re-
main in the keeping of the police till
the magistrate ordered it to be re-
turned to its rightful owner, the next
morning; but MI. Pinney felt quite as
sure of it's safety as if it were in the
japanned strong-box in his own safe,
and possibly even a little ore sure,
for nobody could steal it from the po-
lice station.

toners without hesitation, and went
with them to the police station, where
he told his story and showed the
piece of green glass. Spiro tried to
speak, but was ordered to hold his
tongue, and as no rubies were found
in their pockets he and Baraka were
led away to be more thoroughly
searched.
But now, at last, Baraka resisted,
and with such tremendous energy
that there would have been serious
trouble If Spiro had not called out
something which at once changed the
aspect Of matters.
