WHAT THE WEATHER
MAN SAYS TODAY

Low pressure rom the Pacific,
now over British Columbia, has
caused precipitation in the north
west. Precipitation has been gen
eral eastwardly from the Missi-
ssippi valley and lake region, over
a great storm area, with center
near the Gulf of St Lawrence.
High pressure prevails from the
eastern slope of the Rockies over
the Mississippi valley and middle
Canada.

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 nine
of rubies hoping that the stranger would
love 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,
leaving the couple to die. Baraka's cousin
down a cliff overlooking the mine; but
the traveller shot him. The stranger was
revived from water gourd Saad car
ried, dug his way out of the tunnel, ana
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 (Margarta da
CordovD, famous prima donna, became
engaged in London to Konstantin Lo-
gotheti a wealthy Greek finanCier. Her
intimate friend was Countess Leven,
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 hetrothal He
offered Lady Maud $5,OO,WO for her pet
charity If she would aid him in winning
the singer from Logothet Baraka APP
preached Logotheti at Versailles with
rubies to sell. He presented a ruby to
Margaret Van Torp bought yacht and
sent II to Venice. He was visited by
Baraka in male attire. She gave him a
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
scented her with the ruby Baraka had
given him.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1910-01-28
Mr. Van rorps Solid Arms Slipped Into the Sleeves

was very fine old lady indeed. Mar
garet had not entered yet; a waiter
with smooth yellow hair stood by a
portable sideboard on which there
were covered dishes. There were pop
pies and corn-fowers in plain white
jar on the table. Mrs. Rushmore
smiled at the financier; it would hard
ly be an eXaggeration to say that she
beamed upon him. They had not met
alone since his first visit on the
previous afternoon.
Miss Dome is a little late" she
said, as if the fact were very pleas
ing. You brought her back, of
course"
Why, certainly" said Mr.. Van
Torp with an amiable smile.
You can hardly have come straight
from the theater," continued the lady,
for l heard the other people in the
hotel coming in fully 20 minutes be-
fore you did
1--WE walked home very slowly,
said Mr.. Van Torp, still smiling ami
ably.
"Ah, | sect You went for little
walk to get some air!" She seemed
delighted.
I'VE walked home very slowly in
order to breathe the air" said Mr..
Van Torp-"to breathe the air. as you
say. l have to thank you very much
for giving me your seat, Mrs. Rush
more"
"To tell the truth" replied the good
lady, 81 was very glad to let you take
my place. l cannot say enjoy that
sort of music myself 1t gives me a
headache"
Margaret entered at this point in a
marvellous creation" of Chinese
Grape, of the most delicate shade of
heliotrope. Her dressmaker called it
a tea-gown, but Mr.. Van Torp would
have thought it quite appropriate"
for "dinner-dance" at Bar Harbor.
MY dear child" said Mrs. Rush
more, "how long you were in getting
back from the theater! | began to
fear that something had happened"
I'VE walked home very slowly"
said Margaret, with pleasant smile
"Ah? You went for a little walk
to get some air?'
I'VE just walked home very slowly,
in order to breathe the air." Margaret
answered innocently.
1t dawned on Mr. Van Torp that the
dignified Mrs. Rushmore was not
quite devoid of a sense of humor II
also occurred to him that her repeti-
ton of the question to Margaret, and
the latter's answer. must have re-
vealed to her the fact that the two
had agreed upon what they would
say, since they used identically the
same words. and that they therefore
had an understanding about some
thing they preferred to conceal from
her. Nothing could have given Mrs.
Rushmore such profound satisfaction
as this, and ii revealed itself in her
bright smiles and her anxiety that
both Margaret and Van Torp should,
il possible. over-eat themselves with
the excellent things she had been at
pains to provide for them and for her
self For she was something of an
epicure and her dinners in Versailles
we're Of good fame, even in Paris.

"MercfuI Providence!" Cried Mr.. Pinney.

| 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.
Master is LADY," he yelled. Lady,
man clothes!"
THAT makes a pretty bad case"
observed the sergeant, who was super
intending. Send for Mrs. Movie"
Baraka did not resist when she saw
the matron and went quietly with her
to cell at the back of the station. In
less than ten minutes Mrs. Movie
came out and locked the door after
her. She was a CHEEKY little person,
very neatly dressed, and she had rest
less bright eyes like a ferret. She
brought little bag of soft deerskin
in her hand and a steel bodkin with
wrought silver handle, such as
southern Italian women used to wear
in their hair before such weapons
were prohibited. Mrs. Movie gave
both objects to the officer without
comment.
ANY scars or tattoo-marks, Mrs.
Mowle?" he inquired in his business
like way.
Not a one" answered Mrs. Movie,
who had formerly taken in washing
at home and was the widow of
brave policeman, killed in doing his
duty.
In the bag there were several
screws of paper, which were found to
contain uncut rubies Of different sizes
to 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 1t to the light, laid it
on sheet of paper, and examined it
long in every aspect He was a con-
scientious man.
ITO 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. / think 1t
may be worth between nine and ten
thousand pounds. l 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 It 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 il to be re-
turned to its rightful owner, the next
morning: but Mr.. Pinney felt quite as
sure OF its safety as If 1t we're in the
japanned stronghold in his own safe,
and possibly even a little more sure.
for nobody could steal II from the po-
lice station.

AS for the rest, he was quite con-
WINGED that it was Kralinsky himself,
the ruby merchant, who had suddenly
appeared at Bayreuth, and that this
man was no other than the youth he
had met long ago as cowboy in the
west, who used to whistle "Parsifal"
with his companion in exile, and who,
having grown rich, had lost no time
in coming to Europe for the very pur-
pose Of hearing the music he had al
ways loved so well. And that this
man had robbed the poor Tartar girl,
Mr.. Van Torp had no manner of
doubt; and he believed that he had
probably promised her marriage and
abandoned her; and if this were true,
to help her to find Kralinsky was in
itself a good action.
