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

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

“I want some collars and neckties

“Yes, madam.”
The clerk offered her the latest

“What size are these?” asked the

“How on earth did you guess that?”
“Ah,” replied the clerk, smiling,
“gentlemen who iqt their waves select
their collars and ties always take that
size!”
Carnations Go to Sleep.
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

i manner to enhance their textile beau

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.

Each cl the chief or
guns of the body is a
lint in tbe Chain ole
Life. A chain is no
stronger than ita
weakest link, the body
no stronger than ita
weakest organ. 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. When tbe weak or diseased stomach is
cured, diseases, of. other organs which seem remote from the stomach but which
have their origin in a diseased condition of the 6tomuch and
other organs of digestion and nutrition, are cured also.
The atroni man has a atroni stomach.
Take the above recommended “Discov
ery” and you may have a strong stom
ach and a strong body.
