V' SYNOPSIS. “Mur* Dan Maitland, on reaching his N* w York bachelor club, .met an attrac <* young woman at die door. Janitor O’llagan assured him no one had been within that day. Dan discovered a wom an’s linger prints in dust on his desk, along with a letter from his attorney. Maitland dined with Bannerman, 1% at torney. Dan set out for Greenfields, to I g“t his family jew Is. Maitland, on i reaching home, surpri— d lady in gray, j eraeking the safe containing his gems.

The real Dan Anisty, sought by police of I the world, appeared. Maitland over ame j him. He and the girl went to New York ; in her auto. He had the jewels. She i was 10 meet him that day. A “Mr. ; Snail'..” introduced himself as a detec i ‘iTo shield the girl in gray. Maitland, I about to show him the jewels, supposedly 1**st. was felled by a blow from “Snaith’s” ; cane. The latter proved to be Anisty himself and In* —•our- l the gems. Anisty, who was Maitland’s double, masqueraded j as the latter. The criminal kept Mait land's engagement with the girl in gray. i fi“ ga\e h<*r the gems. The girl in gray visited Maitland’s apartments during his abs■•nr- and returned g- ms. Maitland, without cash, called up his home and ; heard a woman’s voice expostulating. Anisty. disguised as Maitland, tried to wring from her the location of the gems. A crash was heard at the front door, j M-r‘i’.,,-pd overwhelmed the crook, allow ing him to escape to shield the young woman. The girl in gray made her es cape, jumping into a cab. An instant later, by working a ruse, Anisty was at h r side. Ho took her to Attorney Ban i Herman's office. There, by torture, he j tried in ' ain to wring from her the loca ! lion of the gems. He left her a moment and she 'phoned O’Hagan, only getting in Hie words: “Tell Mr. Maitland under the brass bowl.” the hiding place in the lat , tor’s rooms, when Anis.y heard her 1 words. Bannerman also was revealed as a crook. He and Anisty set out to secure ! tin* gems and leave town. The girl was i still imprisoned. CHAPTER XV, Tbi Pries. Slowly .Maitland returned -to the study and replaced the lamp upon his desk; and stood briefly in silence, long fingers stroking his well-shaped chin, his face a little thin and worn-look ing, r. gleam of pain in h;s eyes. He sighed. So she was gone! Ho laughed a trace harshly. This surprise was nothing more than he might have discounted, of course; he had been a fool to expect anything else of her, he was enjoying only his just deserts both lor having dared to believe that the good in human na ture (particularly in woman's nature) would respond to decent treatment, and for having acted on that asinine theory. So she was gone, without a word, without a sign! He sat down at the desk, sidewise, one arm extended along its edge, fin gers drumming out a dreary little tune on the hard polished wood; and thought it all over from the begin ning. Nor spared himself. Why, after all, should it be other wise? Why should she have stayed? Why should he compliment himself by believing that there was aught about him visible through the veneer acquired in a score and odd years of purposeless existence, to attract a young and pfetty woman’s heart? He enumerated his qualities spe cifically; and condemned them all. Im primis, he was a conceited ass. A fascinating young criminal had but to toss her head at him to make him think that she was pleased with him. to make him forget that she was what she was and believe that, because he was willing to stoop, she was willing to climb. And he had betrayed him self so mercilessly! How she must have laughed in her sleeve all the time, while he pranced and bridled and preened himself under her eyes, blinded to his own idiocy by the flame of a sudden infatuation—how she must have laughed! Undoubtedly she had laughed; and, measuring his depth—or his shallow ness—bad determined to use him to her ends. Why not? It had been her business, her professional duty, to make use of him in order to accom plish her plundering. And because she had not dared to ask him for the jewels when he left her in the morn ing, she had naturally returned in the evening to regain them, very ccn fident, doubtless, that even if surprised a second time, she would get off scot free. Unfortunately for her, this fel low Anlsty had interfered. Maitland presumed cynically that he ought to be grateful to Anist.y. The unaccount able scoundrel! Why had he returned? How the girl had contrived to es cape was, of course, more easy to un derstand. Maitland recalled that sud den clatter of hoofs in the street, and he had only to make a trip lo the window to verify his suspicion that the cab was gone. She had simply overheard his concluding remarks tc the cabby, and taken pardonable ad vantage of them. Maitland had footed the bill. She was welcome to that however. He. Maitland, was well rid of.the w-hole damnable business. Yes jewels and all! What were the jewels to him? Re vond their sentimental associations, he did not hold them greatly in prize. Of course, since they had been worn by his mother, he would spare no e.v pense or effort to trace and re-collect them, for that dim sainted memory's sake. ' But in this case, at least, the traditional usage of the Maitlands would never be carried out. It had been faithfully observed when, after his mother's death, the stones had been removed from their settings and stored away; but now they would never be reset, even should he con trive to reassemble them, to adorn the bride of the Maitland heir. For be would never marry. Of course not. Maitland was young enough to be lieve, and to extract a melancholy sat ifeation from, this. Puzzled and saddened, his mind harked back forever to that carlting question: Why had she returned ? What had brought her back to the flat? If she and Anisty were confed erafes, as one was inclined at times to believe—if such were the case. Anisty Maitland Woke Up. “What’s That?” He Questioned Sharply. had the jewels, and there was nothing else of any particular value so per sistently to entice such expert and ac complished burglars back to his flat. What else had they required of him? His peace of mind was nothing that they could turn into cash; and they seemed to have reaved him of nothing else. Rut they had that; unquestionably they had taken that. And still the riddle haunted him: Why had she come back that night? And, whatever her reason, had she corne in Anisty’s company, or alone? One minute it se,emed patent beyond dispute that the girl and the great plunderer were hand-in-glove; the next minute Maitland was positively as sured that their recent meeting had been altogether an accident. From what he had heard over the telephone, lie bad believed them to be quarreling, although at the time he had assigned to O'Hagan the masculine side of the dispute. Rut certainly there must have arisen some difference of opin ion between Anisty and the girl to have drawn from her that frantic neg ative Maitland had heard, to have been responsible for the overturning of the chair—an accident that seemed to argue something in the nature of a physical struggle; the chair itself lay upon its side, mute witness to a hasty and careless movement on somebody's part. Rut it was all inexplicable. Event ually Maitland shook his head, to sig nify that he gave it up. There was but one thing to do—to put it out of mind. He would read a bit, compose himself, go to bed. Preliminary to doing so. he would take steps to insure the flat against further burglarizing, for that night at least. The draught moving through the hall stirred the portiere and re minded him that the window in the trunkrnom was still open,- an invita tion to any enterprising sneak-thief or second-story man. So Maitland went to close and make it fast. As he shut down the window-sash and clamped the catch he trod on something soft and yielding. Wonder ing, he stooped and picked it up, and carried it hack to the light. It proved fo be the girl's hand-bag. “Now," admitted Maitland in a tom' of absolute candor, "I am damned. How in the dickens did this thing get there, anyway? What was she doing in my trunk closfet?" Was it possible that she had fol lowed Anisty out of the flat by that route? A very much mystified young man sat himself down again in front of his desk, and turned the'bag over and over in his hands, keenly scrutin izing every inch, of it, and whistling softly. That year the fashion in purses was for capacious receptacles of grained leather, nearly square in shape, and furnished with a chain handle. This which Maitland held was conspicu ously of the mode—neither too large, nor too small, constructed of fine soft leather of a gun-metal shade, with a frame-work and cha.iu of gun-metal itself. It was new and seemed well filled, weighing a trifle heavy in the hand. One face was adorned with a monogram of cut gun-metal, the in itials ‘’S and “G*' and “U” interlaced. But beyond this the bag was irritat ingly non-committal. Undoubtedly, if one were to go to the length of unsnapping the little, frail clasp, one would acquire informa tion; by such facile means would much light be shed upon the darkness. But Maitland put a decided negative to the suggestion. No. He would give her the benefit of the doubt He would wait, he would school himself to patience. Perhaps she would come back for it—and ex plain. Perhaps he could find her by I advertising it—and get an explana tion. Pending which, he could wait a little while. It was not his wish to pry into her secrets, even if—even if— It was something to be smoked over. Strange how it affected him to have in his hands something that she had owned and touched! Opening a drawer of the desk, Mait land produced an aged pipe. A brazen jar, companion piece to the ash re ceiver, held his tobacco. He filled the pipe from the jar, with thoughtful de liberation. And scraped a match be neath liis chair and ignited the tobac co and puffed in contemplative con tentment, deriving solace from each mouthful of grateful, evanescent in cense. Mean while he held the charred match between thumb and forefinger. Becoming conscious of this fact, he smiled in deprecation of his absent minded mood, looked for the ash-re ceiver. discovered it in place, inverted beneath the book; and frowned, re membering. Then, with an impatient gesture—impatient of his own in firmity of mind—for he simply could not forget the girl—he dropped the match, swept the book aside, lifted the bowl. After a moment of incredulous awe, the young man rose, wiih eyes alight and a jubilant song in the heart of him. Now he knew, now un derstood. now believed, and now was justified of his faith! After which depression came, with the consciousness that she was gone, forever removed beyond his reach and iniluenee, and that by her own willful act. ft was her intelligible wish that they should never meet again, for, having accomplished her errand, she had flown from the pos sibility of his thanks. It was so clear, now! He perceived it all, plainly. Somehow (though it 1 was hard to surmise how) she had found out that Anisty had slolen the jewels; somehow' (and one wondered at what risk) she had contrived to j take them from him and bring them back to their owner. And Anisty had followed. Poor little woman! What had she not suffered, what perils had she not braved, to prove that there was honor even in thieves! it could have been at no inconsiderable danger—a dan ger not incommensurate with that of robbing a tigress of her whelps—that she had managed to filch his loot from that pertinacious and vindictive soul, Anisty 1 Tint she had accomplished it; and all for him: If only he could find her, now! There was a dew to his hand in that bag, of course, but by this act she forever removed from him the right to investigate that. If he could only find that cabby. Perhaps if he tried at the Madison square rank, immediately— Besides, it was clearly his duty net to remain in the ilat alone with the jewels another night. There was but one attainable place of safety for them, and that the safe of a reputable hotel. He would return to the Bar tholdi at once, merely pausing on his way to inquire of the cabmen if they could send their brother-nighthawk to liim. Maitland shock himself into his top coat, jammed hat upon head, dropped the jewels into one pocket, the ciga rette case into another, and—on im pulse—Anisty’s revolver, with its two unexploded cartridges, into a third, and pressed the call button for O’Ha gan. not waiting, however, for that worthy to climb the stair, but meeting him in the entry hall. “I'm going back to the Bartholdi, O'Hagan, for the night. You may bring me my letters and any messages in the morning. I should like you to sleep in the flat to-night and answer any tele phone calls.” “Yiss, Misther Maitland, sor.” “Have the police gone, O'Hagan?” “There's a whole bottle full yet, sor.” “You’ve not been drinking, I trust?” The Irishman shuffled. "Shure, sor, an’ wud that be hosphitibie?” Laughing, Maitland bade him good night and left the house, turning west to gain Fifth avenue, walking slowly because he was a little tired, and en joying the rather unusual experience of being abroad at that hour without company. The sky seemed cleaner than ordinarily, the city quieter than ever he had known it, and in the air was a sweet smell, reminiscent of the country-side—reminding one unhappi ly of the previous night when one had gone whistling to one's destiny along a perfumed country road. “Good 'eavings, Mister Maitland, sir! It caru’t be you!” Maitland looked up, bewildered for the instant. The voice that hailed him out of the sky was not unfamiliar. A cab that he had waited on the corner to let pass, was reined back suddenly. The driver leaned down from the box and in a thunderstruck tone advertised his stupefaction. “It aren’t in nature, sir—if yer'll pardon my mentionin’ it. But ’ere I leaves you not ten minutes ago at tha St. Luke building and finds yer ’ere, when you 'aren't ’ad time—” Maitland woke up. “What’s that?” he questioned, sharply. “You left iho where ten minutes—?” “St. Luke buildin’, corner Broadway an’—” ‘‘I know it,” excited, "but—” “—’avin' took yer there with the | young lady—” "Young lady!" “—that comes outer the 'ouse with yer, sir—” “The devil!” Maitland hesitated no longer; his foot was on the step as ha spoke. “Drive me there at once, and drive for all you’re w-orth!” he cried. “If there’s an ounce of speed in that plug of yours and you don’t get it out—” “Never fear, sir! We’ll make it in five minutes!” “It’ll be worth your while.” “Right-O!” Maitland dropped into his seat, dumfounded. “Good Lord!” he whis pered; and then, savagely: "In the power of that infamous scoundrel—!” And felt of the revolver in his pocket. The cab had been headed north; the St. Luke rears its massive bulk south of Twenty-second street. The driver expertly swung his vehicle almost on | dead center. Simultaneously it ca ! reened with the impact of a heavy bulk landing upon the step and falling in a heap on the deck. "My worrd, what's that?” came from aloft. Maitland was altogether too startled to speak. The heap sat up, resolving itself into the semblance of a man; who spoke in decisive tones; "If yeh're goin' there, I'm goin' with yeh. r veh don't go—see?” “The sleuth!" gasped Maitland, as tounded.

MME. MELBA’S FiRST ENCORE Her Concert Was a Big Success, But Little Playmate Saw Her Garter. When six years of age Helen Mitch ell (Melba) appeared at a school con cert, organized by her aunts in Rich mond, Melbourne, the suburb of her . birth. At this entertainment she sang j "Shells of the Ocean” with such ef fect that the audience ask d for an ! encore, and the child on her reappear ance, created a still greater impres j sion by her singing of ‘'Cornin’ Through the Rye,” for which her grandmother had taught her the Scot tish accent. At the earliest opportunity she hur ried to her favorite playmate, who lived in the same street, and breath lessly waited for reference to the en tertainment of the evening before, but the little comrade was adamant and ignored the whole subject. After many attempts to introduce it, Nellie at length found herself unable to wait longer, and exclaimed excitedly: "But 1 th» concert, the concert! I sang last \ night and was encored.” And she . looked with eagerness in the face of j her friend, who answered witheringly ; "Yes, and, Helen Mitchell, 1 saw your garter.” Little Miss Mitchell had been j particularly pleasedwith her neat at tire. and the unexpected shaft com ing in place of the looked-for com pliment, in an instant blotted out the memory of the intoxicating encore, ! and drew the little singer from the seventh heaven of her brief delight to limbo.—Detroit News-Tribune. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually neces sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric i3 hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear ing quality of the goods. This trou ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great er strength than other makes. His Size Was Known. “I want some collars and neckties for my husband!” she snapped. “Yes, madam.” The clerk offered her the latest thing. “What size are these?” asked the lady.

Florists often suffer losses through a habit carnations have of sometimes "going to sleep” and never opening again. A series of experiments made in the Hull botanical laboratory and described in the Botanical Gazette makes it seems probable that this “sleep” is caused by the effect of il luminating gas, to which, even in very small quantities, these flowers are surprisingly sensitive. Sheer white goods, in iact, any fine i wash goods when new, owe much of ! their attractiveness to the way they | are laundered, this being done in a i manner to enhance their textile beau ty. Home laundering would be equal ly satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Its Troubles.

If there is weakness of stomach, liver or lungs, there is a weak link in the chain of life which may snap at any time. Often this so-called “weakness” is caused by lack of nutrition, the result of weakness or disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Diseases and weaknesses of the stomach and its allied organs are cured by the use of Dr. Pierce s.Golden Medical Discovery.
