Janitor O'Hagan assured him no one had been within that day. Dan discovered a wom an's finger prints in dust on his desk, along with a letter from his attorney. Maitland dined with Bannerman. his at torney. Dan set out for Greenfields, to get liis family Jewels. Maitland, on reaching home, surprised lady in gray, cracking the safe containing liis gems. She. apparently, took him for a well known crook. Daniel Anisty. Half-hyp notized. Maitland opened his safe, took therefrom the Jewels, and gave them to her, first forming a partnership In crime. The real Dan Anisty, sought by police of the world, appeared. Maitland overcame him. He and the girl went to New York In her auto. He had the Jewels. She was to meet him that day. A “Mr. Snalth” introduced himself as a detec tive. To shield the girl in gray, Maitland, about to styow him the jewels, supposedly lost, was felled by a blow from ' Snaith's” cane. The latter proved to be Anisty himself and he secured the gems. Anisty, who was Maitland's double, masqueraded as the latter. Tiie criminal kept Mait land's engagement with the girl In gray. He gave her tiie gems. The girl In gray visited Maitland’s apartments during his absence and returned1 gems. 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 w-as heard at the front door. Maitland 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 her side. He took her to Attorney Ban nerman's office. There, by torture, he tried in vain to wring from her the loca tion of the gems. He left her a moment and she 'phoned O'Hagan, only getting in the words: “Tell Mr. Maitland under the brass bowl," the hiding place in the lat ter’s rooms, when Anisty heard her words. Bannerman also was revealed as a crook. He and Anisty set out to secure the gems and leave town. The girl was Etill imprisoned. Maitland finding the girl gone, searched his rooms and unearthed the jewels under the brass bowl. He struck Antsty's trail in a big office build ing, where the crook was killed. Malt lland and girl in gray confessed love for each other. - CHAPTER XVI.—Continued. “I dunno.” Hickey licked his lips, watching with a somber eye the prep arations being made for the removal of Anisty's body. “I’d ’ve give a farm if I could ’ve caught that son of a gun alive;” he added at apparent random, and vindictively. “All right. Yeh be responsible for th' lady, if she's want ed, will yeh?” “Positively.” “I gottuh have her name ’nd add ress.” “Is that essential?” “Sure. Gottuh protect, myself 'n J case anythin’ turns up. Yeh oughttuh ! to know that.” "I—don’t want it to come out,” Mait land hesitated, trying to invent a plausible lie. "Well, any one can see how you feel about it.” Maitland drew a long breath and anticipated rashly. “It’s Mrs. Mait land,” he told the man with a tremor. Hickey nodded, unimpressed. “Uh huh. I knowed that all along,” he replied. “But seein’ as yeh didn’t want it talked about . . .” And, appar ently heedless of Maitland's startled and suspicious stare: “If yeh're goin’ to see yer fren’, yeh better get a wiggle on. He won't last long.” “Who? Bannerman? What the deuce do you mean?” “He’s the feller 1 plugged in the elevator, that’s all. Put a hole through his lungs. They took him into an of fice on the twenty-first floor, right opp’site the shaft.” “But what in Heaven’s name has he to do with this ghastly mess?” Hickey turned a shrewd eye upon Maitland. “I guess he can tell yeh better’n me.” With a smothered exclamation, I Maitland hurried away, still incredu lous and impressed with a belief, firm er with every minute, that the wound ed man had been wrongly identified. He found him as Hickey had said he would, sobbing out his life, supine upon the couch of an office which the janitor had opened to afford him a place to die in. Maitland had to force a way through a crowded doorway, w'here the night-watchman was hold ing forth in aggrieved incoherence on the cruel treatment he had suffered at the hands of the law-breakers. A phrase came to Maitland's ears as he shouldered through the group. . . . . grabbed me an trun me outer the cage, inter the hall, an’ then the shootin' begins, au’ I jumps down stairs t’ the sixteent’ floor. . . Bannerman opened dull eyes as Maitland entered, and smiled faintly. “Ah-h, Maitland,” he gasped; “thought you'd . . . come.” Racked with sorrow, nothing guess ing of the career that had brought the lawyer to this pass, Maitland slipped into a chair by the head of the couch and closed hi3 hand over Bannerman’s chubby, icy fingers. “Poor, poor old chap!” he said, brokenly. “How in Heaven—” But at Bannerman's look the words died on his lips. The lawyer moved restlessly. “Don't pity me,” he said in a low tone. “This is what I might have . . . expected, I suppose . . . man of Anisty's stamp . . . des perate character . . . it s all right, Dan, my just due. . . “I don’t understand, of course,” fal tered Maitland. Bannerman lay still a moment, then continued: "I know you don’t. That’s why I sent for you. . . . ’Member that night at the Primordial? When the deuce was it? I . . . can’t think straight long at a time. . . . That night I dined with you and touched you up about, the jewels? We had a bully salad, you know, and I spoke about i the Graeme atTair. . . .’’ “Yes, yes.” “Weil . . . I've been up to that game for years. I’d find out where the plunder was. and . . . Anisty al ways divided square. ... I used to advise him. ... Of course you won’t understand—you’ve never want ed for a dollar in your life. . . .” Maitland said nothing. But his hand remained upon the dying man's. “This would never have happened if . . . Anisty hadn’t been impa tient. He was hard to handle, some times. I wasn’t sun*, you know, about Lit ‘Well?” “Excuse me for mentionin' it, but I didn't know—it ain't generally known, veh know, 'nd one uh th’ boys might 've heard me, speak tuh yer lady by name 'nd might pass it on to a re porter. What I mean's this,” hastily, as the Maitland, temper showed dan gerous indications of going into active eruption: "I s’pose yeh don't want me tuh mention ’t yeh're married, jes’ yet? Mrs. Maitland here,” with a nod to her, “didn't seem tuh take kindly tuh the notion of it’s bein' known—” “Hickey!” “Ah, excuse me!” “Drive on, cabby—instantly! Do you hear?” Hickey backed suddenly away and the cab sprang into motion: while Maitland with a face of fire sat back and raged and wondered. Across Broadway toward Fourth avenue dashed the hansom; and from the curb-line Hickey watched it with a humorous light in his dull eyes. In deed, the detective seemed in extraor dinary conceit with himself. He chewed with unaccustomed emotion upon his cold cigar, scratched his cheek, and chuckled; and, chuck ling, pulled his hat well down over brows, thrust both hands into his trousers pockets, and shambled back to the St. Luke building—his heavy body vibrating amazingly with his secret mirth. And so, shuffling sluggishly, he merges into the shadows, into the mob that surges about the building, and passes rrom these pages. II. In the clattering hansom, steadying herself with a hand against the win dow-frame, to keep from being thrown against the speechless man beside her, the girl waited. And since Mait land in confusion at the moment found no words, from this eloquent silence she drew an inference unjustified, such as lovers are prone to draw, the world over, one that lent a pathetic color to her thoughts, and chilled a little her mood. She had been too sure. But better to have it over with at once, rather than permit it to remain forever a wall of constraint between them. He must not be permitted to think that she would dream of taking him upon his generous word. “It was very kind of you,” she said in a steady small voice, "to pretend that we—what you did pretend, in or der to save me from being held as a witness. At least, I presume that is why you did it?”—with a note of un certainty. ii is unnecessary mai you snouin be drawn into the affair,” he replied, with some resumption of his self-pos session. “It isn't as if you were—” “A thief?” she supplied, as he hesi tated. “A thief,” he assented, gravely. “But I—I am,” with a break in her voice. “But you are not,” he asserted al most fiercely. And, “Dear,” he said, boldly, “don’t you suppose I know?” “—what do you know?” “That you brought back the jewels, for one minor thing. I found them al most as soon as you had left. And then I knew—knew that you cared enough to get them from this fellow Anisty and bring them back to me, knew that I cared enough to search the world from end to end until I found you, that you might wear them —if you would.” But she had drawn away, had averted her face; and he might not see it; and she shivered slightly, star ing out of the window at the passing lights. He saw, and perforce paused. "You—you don’t understand,” she told him in a rush. “You give me credit beyond my due. I didn’t break into your flat again, to-night, in order to return the jewels—at least, not for that alone.” “But you did bring back the jewels?” She nodded. “Then doesn’t that prove what I claim, prove that you’ve cleared your self—?” “No,” she told him, firmly. With the firmness of despair; “it does not. Be cause I did not come for that only. I came with another purpose—to steal, as well as to make restitution. And I —1 stole.” There was a moment's silence, on his part incredulous. “I don’t know what you mean. What did you steal? Where is it?” “I have lost it—” “Was it in your hand-bag?” “You found that?” (TO BE CONTINUED.) TER WEDDINGS »___ Hopi Marriage Ceremony Consists of 1 Washing the Head. Marriage among the Hopi, a tribe of the Pueblo Indians, is Jin institution re garding which those most concerned have least to say. When the parents of a girl find it expedient for her to get. married they look up an available man and negotiate with his parents. After the matter has been arranged the principals are notified, the girl goes to the home of the bridegroom’s parents and grinds corn for them for three weeks, while the bridegroom makes a kind of sash for the bride. Then one morning at sunrise they both bathe their heads in cold water, which completes the ceremony. There have been instances of the bridegroom refusing to go through the performance, says a writer in Outing. It has then proceeded without him and been accounted valid, and several weeks later he has yjelded and had his head bathed. The Navajo ceremony is much more elaborate and impressive, but then the Navajo girls are much nicer. The reg ular tariff on a Navajo girl entering the port of matrimony for the first time is 12 horses. On the second oc casion tte tax is nine horses, while subsequent marriages are free. This is not purchase money, but is merely a tribute 6f respect to a moth er-in-law and a token of appreciation of the care and -expense involved in bearing and rearing the lady, a recog nition not unworthy of consideration by civilized bridegrooms. On the oth er hand, and deserving of great con demnation, is that law of many tribes, unwritten but of much sanctity, that a man and his mother-in-law shall never meet after the ceremony. “Please,” She Said Gently—“Please Tell the Cabby to Take Me Home, Mr. Maitland.” the jewels: I only said I thought they were at Greenfields. Then I under took to find out from you, but he was restive, and without saying anything to me went down to Greenfields on his own hook—just to have a look around, he said. And so ... so the fat was in the fire.” “Don’t talk any more, Bannerman,” Maitland tried to soothe him. “You’ll pull through this all right, and— You need never have gone to such lengths. If you'd come to me—” The ghost of a sardonic smile flitted, Incongruously, across the dying man's waxen, cherubic features. “Oh, hell,” he said; “you wouldn’t understand. Perhaps you weren’t born with the right crook in your nature— or the wrong one. Perhaps it’s be cause you can't see the fun in playing the game. It's that that counts.” He compressed his lips, and after a moment spoke again. “You never did have the true sportsman's love of the game for Its own sake. You're like most of the rest of the crowd—content with mighty cheap virtue, Dan. . . . I don't know that I’d choose just this kind of a wind-up, but it’s been fun while it lasted. Good-by, old man.” He did not speak again, but lay with closed eyes. Five minutes later Maitland rose and unclasped the cold fingers from about his own. With a heavy sigh he turned away. At the door Hickey was awaiting him. “Yer lady,” he said, as soon as they had drawn apart from the crowd, “is waitin’ for yeh in the cab down stairs. She was gettin’ a bit high steerical ’nd I thought I’d better get her away. . . . Oh, she’s waitin’ all right!” he added, alarmed by Mait land's expression. But Maitland had left him abruptly; and now, as he ran down flight after echoing flight of marble stairs, there rested cold fear in his heart. In the room he had just quitted, a man whom he had called friend and looked upon with affection ate regard, had died a self-confessed and unrepentant liar and thief. If now he were to find the girl an other time vanished—if this had been but a ruse of hers finally to elude him —if all men were without honor, all women faithless—if he had Indeed placed the love of his life, the only love that he had ever known, unworth ily—if she cared so little who had seemed to care much . . . CHAPTER XVII. Cott/essional. I. But the cab was there; and within it the girl was waiting for him. The driver, after taking up his fare, had at her direction drawn over to the further curb, out of the fringe of the rabble which besieged the St. Luke building in constantly growing numbers, and through which Maitland, too impatient to think of leaving by the basement exit, had elbowed and fought his way in an agony of appre hension that brooked no hindrance, heeded no difficulty. He dashed round the corner, stopped short with a sinking heart, then as the cabby's signaling whip across the street caught his eye, fairly hurled himself to the other curb, pausing at the wheel, breathless, lifted out of himself with joy to find her faithful in this ultimate instance. She was recovering, whose high spir it and recuperative powers were to him then and always remained a mar velous thing; and she was bending forth from the body of the hansom to welcome him with a smile that in a twinkling made radiant the world to him who stood in a gloomy si^e street of New York at three o’clock of a summer's morning—a good hour and a half before the dawn. For up there in the tower of the skyscraper he had as much as told her of his love; and she had waited; and now—and now he had been blind indeed had he failed to read the promise in her eyes. Weary she was and spent and overwrought; but there IS no tonic in ail the world like the consciousness that where one has placed one's love, there love has bur geoned In response. And despite all that she had suffered and endured, the happiness that ran like soft fire in her veins, wrapping her being with its beneficent rapture, had deepened the color in her cheeks and heightened the glamour in her eyes. And he stood and stared, knowing that in all time to no man had ever woman seemed more lovely than this girl to him; a knowledge that robbed his mind of all other thought and his tongue of words, so that, to her fell the task of rousing him. “Please,” she said gently—“please tell the cabby to take me home, Mr. Maitland.” He came to and in confusion stam mered: Yes, he would. And he climbed up on the step with no other thought than to seat himself at her side and drive, away forever. But this time the cabby brought him to his senses, forcing him to remember that some measure of coherence was demanded even of a man in love. "Where to, sir?” “Eh, what? Oh!” And bending to the girl: “Home, you said—?” She told him the address—a num ber on Park avenue, above Thirty fourth street, below Forty-second. He repeated it mechanically, unaware 1 that it would remain stamped forever on his memory, indelibly—the first personal detail that she had granted him; the first barrier down. He sat down. The cab began to move, and halted again. A face ap peared at the apron—Hickey’s, red and moon-like and not lacking in com placency; for the man counted on profiting variously by this night’s work. “Excuse me, Mr. Maitland, ’nd”— touching the rim of his derby—“yeh, too, ma’am, f’r buttin' in—” "Hickey!” demanded Maitland, sud denly, in a tone of smoldering wrath, "what the—what do you want?” “Yeh told me tuh call round tomor row, yeh know. When’ll yeh be in?” ‘Til leave a note for you with O'Hagan. Is that all?” “Yep—that is, there’s somethin’ else . . TRIBE HAS WA TAKE CARE OF GOOD HEALTH Mistake Most People Make Is in Wait ing for Bad to Come and Then Coddling It. If we would take as good care of our good health as we do of our bad health we would have more of the former and less of the latter. We set our good health down in a draft and let it get its feet wet; we infringe on its sleep time and gorge it with un suitable food at irregular hours. We load it with nerve-racking cares and duties, and reply to its frantic ap peals for rest with, “You haven't time.” We squeeze it with clothing; we distract its cars with noise and its lungs with bad air. But we put our bad health in a quiet room, on a soft couch. We robe it in a comfortable gown; w.e give it pure air at stated intervals; we put ice on its head and hot water at its feet; we feed it with food convenient for it. We take away all care and responsibility; we give it a soothing draught to rest it; and we pay a doctor two dollars to come and leave it a scrap of paper and say that it will better to-morrow. One might think we preferred bad health to good health. —From an ar ticle in Good Health. TOTAL LOSS OF HAIR.
