their innocence all the while in elo-
quent but disjointed English, until he
was told to hold his tongue.
Further, Lady Maud read the po-
lice court report in an evening paper,
cut it out and sent it to Margaret as a
document confirming the letter she
had posted on the previous evening;
and owing to the same insuficiency
in the address, the two missives were
delivered together.
Lastly, Mr.. Pinney took the big
ruby back to his shop and locked 1T
up in his safe with a satisfaction and
a sense of profound relief such as he
had rarely felt in a long and honorable
life; and he would have been horri-
fed and distressed beyond words il he
could have even guessed that he had
been the means of sending an inno-
cent and helpless girl to prison.
One thing more which concerns this
tale happened on that same day. Two
well-dressed men drove up to the door
of a quiet and very respectable hotel
in the West end; and they asked for
their bill, and packed their belong
ings, which were sufficient though not
numerous; and when they had paid
what they owed and given the usual
tips, they told the porter to call two
hansoms, and each had his things put
on one of them; and they nodded to
each other and parted; and n ham
som drove to Euston and the other
to Charing Cross; and whether they
ever met again, | do not know, and
it does not matter; but in order to
clear Baraka's character at one and
to avoid a useless and perfectly trans
parent mystery, it is as well to say
directly that it was the young man
who drove to Euston, on his way to
Liverpool and New York, who had
Logotheti's ruby sewn up in his waist
coat pocket; and that the ruby really
belonged to Margaret, since Logotheti
had already given it to her, before he
had brought it to MI. Pinney to be
cut and set. But the knowledge of
what is here impaired to the reader,
who has already guessed this much OF
the truth, would not help Baraka out
of Brixton Jail, where the poor girl
found herself in very bad company
indeed; even worse, perhaps, than
that in which Spiro was obliged to
spend his time.

Canada and Alaska to the torrid val
ley of the Amazon and the great PAM
pas of the La Plata, only to roll back
again to the ice-bound northern ocean
with the northward progression Of the
sun. And almost as ceaseless as the
ever-rising, ~ever-falling swell of the
ocean tides is this miraculous tide OF
beating wings and pulsating little
hearts. The last stragglers Of the
%northward migration do not reach
their northern home before the early
part of June; but in July the south
ward setting tide has begun again.
The number of birds that make up
this mighty wave almost passes com
prehension. Probably more than 95
per. cent. of all birds making their
summer home between the northern
boundary of Mexico and the Arctic
ocean, that is, in the United States
and Canada, help to swell the great
bird-tide that moves southwark in
autumn and northward in the spring
with the regularity of a pendulum. Al
lowing a little less than one migratory
bird to an acre, we get the enormous
number of 1920, 900. 900 birds, whose

cision the southwark and northward

posed them to help her in her work.
But the London police are by nature
the kindliest set Of men who keep
order anywhere in the world. and
they will readily help a mar or wom-
an who tries to do good in a sensible,
practical way; and If they are some
times a little prejudiced in favor OF
their own perspicuity in getting up a
case, let that policeman, of n other
country. who is quite without fault,
throw the first stone at their brave,
good-natured heads.
Logotheti was not at his lodgings
in st. James place, and from each
of two clubs to which the officer tele-
phoned rather at random, the only an
swer was that he was a member but
not in the house. The officer wrote
a line to his rooms and sent it by a
messenger, to be given to him as soon
as he came in.
1t was late in the hot afternoon
when Mrs. Foxwell answered the mes
sage by coming to the police station
herself. She was at once admitted
to Baraka's cell and the door was
closed after her.
The girl was lying on the pallet bed,
dressed in a poor calico skirt and a
loose white cotton jacket, which Mrs.
Movie had brought and had insisted
that she must put on; and her mans
clothes had been taken from her with
all her other belongings. She sat up.
forlorn, pale and lovely, as the kind
visitor entered and stood beside her.
Poor child" exclaimed the lady,
touched by her sad eyes. What can
| do to help you?"
Baraka shook her head, for she did
not understand. Then she looked up
into eyes almost as beautiful as her
own, and pronounced a name, slowly
and SO distinctly that it was impos-
sible not to hear each syllable.

Margaret's wrath did not subside

itself on any immediate object, it
made her feel as if she were in q
her hands trembled and were as hot
as fire, her lips were drawn and
parched, and when she caught sight

been a very different matter from ly-

had let herself fall in love! But for
her friend Lady Maud she would still
be their victim. Her heart went out
to the woman who had saved her
from her fate, and with the thought
came the impulse 20 send a message

broken English he explained very
clearly hat Baraka had a friend in
London who was n of the great of
the earth, and who would certainly
prove her innocence. vouch for her
character, and cause her to be set at
large without delay, if he knew of her
trouble.
What is the ~gentleman's name?'
inquired the policeman.
The name of Baraka's friend was

She felt better as she rose from the
