SYNOPSIS.
"Mud” Dan Maitland, on reaching his
New York bachelor '-lub. met an at H ue
live young woman ai the door. Janitor
ii'llagan assured him no on*- had been
within that day. Pan discovered a wom
an's finger prints in dust on Ills desk,
along with a letter from Ids attorney.
Maitland dined with Bnnnermati. his at
torney. Dan set out for Greenfields, to
got his family Jewels. During Ids walk
to the country seat, he met the young
woman In gray, whom he had seen leav
ing Ids bachelors' club. Her auto hud
broken down. He fixed it. By a ruse she
"lost" him. Maitland, on reaching home,
•surprised lady In gray, cracking the safe
i ontainlng his gems. She. apparently,
took him for a well-known crook. Daniel
Ardsty. Half-hypnotized. Maitland opened
his safe, took therefrom the jewels, and
gave them to her, ftrsi forming a part
nership in crime. The real Dan Anist.v.
sough! by police of the world, appeared
on tin same mission. Maitland overcame
him. He niet the girl outside the house
and they sped on to N« w York in her au
to. H* had the Jewels and she promised
t.» meet Idn; that duy Maitland received
1 "Mr Snail h." introducing himself as a
detective. To shield the girl in gray.
Maitland, about to show' him the Jew
• Is, supposedly lost, was felled by a blow
, from "Snalth's" cane The latter proved
to be Anisty himself and he secured the
g<ms. Anisty, who was Maitland’s dou
ble. masqueraded as the latter. The
< rimlnal kept Maitland's engagement with
the girl in gray. He gave her the gems,
after falling In love at first sight. They
were to meet and divide the loot. Mait
land revived and regretted missing his
engagement.
CHAPTER VIII.—Continued.
“Very Rood, sor." The janitor-valet
had previous experiences with Mait
land's generosity in grateful memory;
and shut his lips tightly in promise
of virtuous reticence.
"You won't regret it. Now tell me
what you mean by saying that you saw
nie go out at one this afternoon?’’
Again the flood gates were lifted;
from the deluge of explanations and
protestations Maitland extracted the
general drift of narrative. And in the
end held up his hnnd for silence.
'I think I understand, now. You say
h had changed to my gray suit ?“
OH a Ran darted into the isaiv-mr.

of his statement.

Presumably he saw nothing of inter
est to him. It. was not a particularly
interesting block, for that matter,
though somewhat typical of the neigh
borhood. The north side was lined
i with five-story flat buildings, their
dingy red brick facades regularly
broken by equally dingy brownstone
stoops, ns to the ground floor, by open
windows as to those above. The south
side was mostly taken up by a tow
ering white apartment hotel with an
ostentatious entrance; against one of
whose polished stone pillars the short
aud thick-set man was lounging.
The sidewalks, north and south,
swarmed with children of assorted
ages, playing with the ferocious en
ergy characteristic of the young of
Harlem; their blood-curdling cries and
premature Fourth*of-July fireworks
created an appalling din, to which,
however, the more mature denizens
had apparently become callous, through
j long endurance.
Beyond the party-colored lights of a
drug store window on Seventh avenue,
tin* electric arcs were casting a sickly
radiance upon the dusty leaves of the
tree-lined drive. The avenue Itself
was crowded with motor cars and
horse-drawn pleasure vehicles, mostly
bound uptown, their occupants seeking
the cooler airs and wider spaces to be
found beyond the Harletn river and
along the Speedway. A few blocks to
the west (’athedral heights hulked like
a great wall, wrapped in purple shad
ows, its jagged contour stark against
an evening sky of suave old rose.
The short and thick-set body, how
ever, seemed to have no particular ap
preciation of the beauties of nature as
exhibited by West One Hundred and
Kighteenth street on a summer's even
ing. If anything, he could apparently
have desired a cooling breeze; for.
after a moment's doubtful considera
tion, he unbuttoned his waistcoat and
heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, carefully shifting the butt of
a dead cigar from one nrner of hi*
mouth to the other, where It was a I
most hidden by tin* jutting thatch < t

over hi* * y* the brim of u rusty plug j

up the steps and into the vestibule.
Here he halted, bending over to scru
tinize the names on the letter boxes.
The short, thick set man reluctantly
detached himself from his polished
; pillar and waddled ungracefully across
I the street.
The policeman on the corner seemed
suddenly interested in Seventh ave
nue. and walked in that direction.
The gray rnan. having vainly de
cohered all the names on one side
I of the vestibule, straightened up and
turned his attention to the opposite
wall, either unconscious of or indif
ferent to the shuffle of feet on the
stoop behind him.
The short, thickset man removed
one hand from n pocket and tapped the
gray man gently on the shoulder.
"Lookin’ for McCabe, Anisty?” he
inquired, genially..
The gray man turned slowly, exhib
iting a countenance blank with aston
ishment. "Meg pardon?" he drawled;
and then, with a dawning gleam of
recognition in his eyes: "Why, good
evening, Hickey! What brings you
up this way?"
The short, thick set man permitted
his jaw to droop ami his eyes to pro
trude for some seconds. "Oh," he
said in a tone of great disgust, "hell!”
He pulled himself together with an
effort. "Excuse me, Mr. Maitland." he
stammered. "I wasn’t lookin’ for yeh."
"To the contrary. I gather from your
greeting you were expecting our
friend, Mr. Anisty?" And the gray
man smiled.
Hickey smiled in sympathy, but with
less evident relish of the situation’s
humor.
"That's right," he admitted, "(lot a
tip from the c’missner's office this
evening that Anisty would he hero at
seven o’clock lookin’ for a party
named McCabe. 1 guess it’s a bum tip.
all right; hut of course 1 got to look
into it."
"Most assuredly." The gray man
bent and inspected the names again.
I am hunting up an old friend." he
explained, carelessly; "a man named
Simmons—knew him in college—down
on his luck—wrote me yesterday.
Thee he is: Fourth floor, east. I’ll
see yen when 1 come down, I hope, Mr.
Hickey."
The automatic look clicked and the
door swung open; the gray man pass
ing through and up the stairs. Hickey,
ostentatiously ignoring the existence
of the policeman, returned to his post
of observation.
At eight o'clock he was still there,
looking bored.
At 8:30 he was still there, wearing
a puzzled expression.
At nine he called the adoring hall
hoy, gave him a quarter with minute
instructions, and saw him disappear
into the hallway of No. 205. Three
minutes later the boy was back,
breathless but enthusiastic.
"Missis Simmons," he explained be
tween gasps, "says she ain't never
heard of nobody named Maitland.
Somebody rang her bell a while ago
an* apologized for disturbin’ her—said
he wanted the folks on the top floor.
I guess ver man went acrost the roofs;
them houses Is all connected, and yuh
( n walk clear from the corner here
tub half-way up tub Nineteenth street,
on Sain’ Nicholas avenoo."
"Ch-huh," laconically returned the
detective. "Thanks." And turning on
his heel, walked westward.
The policeman crossed the street
to detain him for a moment’s chat.
"i guess it's all off, Jim," Hickey
told him. "Some one must 've tipped
that crook off. Anyway, 1 ain't goin’
to wait no longer.”
"1 wouldn’t neither." agreed the uni
formed member. "Say, who’s yer i
friend yeh was talkin’ tuh, 'while j
ago?"
"Oh. a frien’ of mine. Yell didn’t have
no call to git excited then, Jim.
(J’night."
And Hickey proceeded westward, a
listless and preoccupied man by the
vacant eye of him. But when he
omergd into the glare of Eighth ave
nue his face was unusually red. Which
may have been due to the heat. And
I just before boarding a downtown sur
face car, “Oh," he enunciated with gus
to, ‘hell!”
One a. ni.
Not until the rich and mellow chime |
bad merged into the stillness did the j
intruder dare again draw breath. Com
ing as it had the very moment that !
the door had closed noiselessly behind I
her, the rioubl. stroke bad sounded to
i her like a knell; or. perhaps more like !
| the prelude to the wild alarum of a j
toc sin, first striking her he^rt still i
with terror, then urging it into panic
ilutterings.
nut these, as the minutes drew on,
marked only by the dull methodic tick I
ing of the clock, quieted; and at i
! length she mustered courage to move j
from the tlcx r, against w hich she had
flattened herself, one hand clutching
the knob, ready to roll it open and fly
upon the first aggressive sound.
In the interval her eyes had become
accustomed to the darkness. The
study door showed a pale oblong on
her right; to her left, and a little to
ward the rear of the flat, the door of
Maitland's bed chamber stood ajar.
To this she tiptoed, standing upon the
threshold and listening with every
fiber of her being. No sounds as of
the regular respiration of a sleeper
warning her. she at length peered
stealthily within; simultaneously she
pressed the button of an electric hand
lamp. Its circumscribed blaze wavered
over pillows and counterpane spotless
and undisturbed.
Then for the first time she breathed
freely, convinced that she had been
right in surmising that Maitland
would not return that night.
Since early evening she had watched
the house from the window of n top
floor hall bedroom in the boarding
house opposite. Shortly before seven
she hud seen Maitland, stiff and
uncompromising in rigorous even
iug dross, leave in a cab. Since
then only once had a light appeared in
hi.s rooms; at about half after nine the
janitor had appeared in the study,
turning up the gas and going •> the
telephone. Whatever the nature of
the communication received, the girl
had taken it to indicate that. Maitland
had decided to spend the night else
where; for the study light had
burned for some ten minutes, during
which the janitor could occasionally he
seen moving mysteriously about; and
something late r. bearing a suitcase,
he had left the house and shuffled
rapidly eastward to Madison avenue.
So she felt convinced that she had
all the small hours before her, secure
from interruption. And this time, she
told herself, she purposed making as
surance doubly sure.
Hut first to guard against discovery
from the street.

dispensed with the hand lamp, enter
ing the darkened study. Here all tv In
(lows had been closed and the outer
shades drawn- O'Hagan's last act be
fore leaving with the suit-ease—addi
tional proof that Maitland was not ex
pected back th:r night. For the tern
perature was high, the air in the
closed room stitl ng.
Crossing to the windows, the girl
drew down tie dark green inner
shades and cl« m d the folding wooden
shutters < v r them. And was con
scious of a deepened sense of security.
Next going to the telephone, she re
moved the receiver from the hook and
let it ban- at the full length of the
cord. In the dead silence the small
voice of Cintral was clearly articu
late: "What number? Hello, what
number?' -feib wed by the grumbling
of the armature as the operator tried
fruitlessly to ting the disconnected
bell. The girl smiled faintly, aware
that there \vi uld now ' • no interrup
tion from an in i portune call.
There remait. 1 as a final precau
tion only a grand four of the Hat;
which she math > xpeditiously, passing

herself age.in in the study, and now

which she discovered on r e desk.
Standing, hands resting lightly on
hips, breath coming quickly, cheeks
flushed and eyes alight with some in

surveyed the r< ora. Out «.f the dusk
that lay beyond the plash of illumina

began to take on familiar shapes; the
divans, the heavy leather-cushioned
