to go out, she saw that with two OF
Logothetis sticks there was a third,
fully four inches shorter! just a plain
crook-handled stick with a silver ring.
That was enough. Baraka had GER
tainly been in the lodgings and had
probably left in them everything that
belonged to her disguise. The fact
that the gloves and the stick were in
the hall looked very much as If she
had come in dressed as a man and
had left them there when she had
gone away in woman's attire. That
she was with Logotheti, most prob.
ably on his yacht, Lady Maud had not
the least doubt, as she went down the
stairs.
The Swiss secretary stood at the
open door on the landing till she was
out of sight below, and then went
in again, and returned to work over
a heap Of business papers and letters.
When he had worked half an hour he
leaned back in his leathern chair to

long chairs under the double awning
outside the deckhouse.
The Tartar girl wore a skirt and
jacket of dark blue yachting serge,
which did not fit badly considering
that they had been bought ready-made
by Logotheti's man. She had little
white tennis shoes on her feet. which
were crossed one over the other on
the deck chair, but instead of wear

way, and the thin folds hung down on
each side, and lay on her shoulders,
shading her face, and the breeze
stirred them. Logotheti's valet had
been sent out in a taximeter, pro
vided with few measurements and
plenty of cash, and commissioned to
buy everything that q girl who had
nothing at all to wear, visible or in
visible, could possibly need. He was
also instructed to find maid who
could speak Tartar, or at least a little
Turkish.
After FIVE hours he had come back

ever, there was a thick letter ad-
dressed in a commercial writing he
remembered but could not at once
identify; and though it was apparent
ly a business communication, and
could therefore have waited till the
next morning, when his secretary
would come as usual, he opened 1t out
of mere curiosity to know whence 1t
came.
1t was from Mr.. Pinney, the jewel

scientious account of the whole affair
of the theft, from the moment when
Logotheti and Van Torp had gone out
together until Mr.. Pinney had locked
up the stone in his safe again, and
Baraka and Spiro had been lodged in
Brixton jail. The envelope contained
also a cutting from the newspaper
similar to the one Margaret had re.
ceived from Lady Maud.

been. In the latter part Of August,
in London, the sun sets soon after
seven o'clock, and Logotheti realized
that he had no time to lose.
AS he drove quickly up towards
Bond street, he ran over the circum-
stances in his mind, and came to the
conclusion that Baraka had probably
been the victim of a trick, though he
did not exclude the bare possibility
that she might be guilty.
He found Mr.. Pinney in the act of
turning the discs Of the safe before
going home and leaving his shopman
to shut up the place. He smiled with
grave satisfaction when Logotheti en-.
tered.

for it, and he had discovered through
an agency a girl from Trebizonde who
had been caught at IL years old by
missionaries, brought to England and
educated to go into service; she spoke
English very prettily, and had not alto
gether forgotten the lingua franco Of
Asia.
The consequence OF her presence
was that Baraka was dressed with
great neatness and care, and looked
very presentable, though her clothes
were only ready-made things, bought
by a man-servant, who had only her
height and the size of her waist to
guide him. Logotheti watched her
delicate, energetic profile, admiring
the curves of her closed lips, and the
willful turning up of her little
chin. She was more than very pretty
now, he thought, and he was quietly
amused at his own audacity in taking
her to sea alone with him, almost on
the eve of his marriage. It was espe-
cially diverting to think of what the
proper people would say If they knew
it, and to contrast the intentions they
would certainly attribute to him with

AS for Baraka, 1t never occurred to
her that she was not as safe with him
as she had been in her fathers house
in the little white town far away,
nearly three years ago; and besides,
her steel bodkin with the silver ham
die had been given back to her, and
she could feel it in its place when she
pressed her left hand to her side.
Logotheti has been first of all pre-
occupied about getting Baraka out of
England without attracting attention,
and then for her comfort and recov-
cry from the strain and suffering of
the last few days. AS for that, she
was like a healthy young animal, and
as soon as she had a chance she had
fallen so sound asleep that she had
not walked for IL hours. Logotheti's
intent was to take her to Paris by q
roundabout way, and establish her
under some proper sort of protection.
Margaret was still in Germany, but
would soon return to France, and he
had almost made up his mind to ask
her advice, not dreaming that in such
