Ills safe, took thecefiom the Jewels, and
gave them to her, llrsl fiirinun; a part
iiutslilp in crime.
CHAPTER IV. Continued.
The Interior of tho safe was re
vealed In a shape llttlo different from
that of tho ordinary household strong
box. There wero seveinl account
book3, ledgers and the llko, together
with somo packages of docketed bill3,
in the pigeon holes. Tho cash box,
itaelf a safe within a safe, showed a
blank face broken by a small combi
nation dial. Dehlnd this, la a so
eieted compartment, tho Maltland heir
looms languished, half foi gotten of
their heedless owner.
Tho cash box combination offered
loss illlllculty than had the miter dial.
Maltland had it open In a twinkling.
Then, brazenly lifting out tho Inner
- leworlc bodily, ho thrust a fum
Mills hand Into tho aperture thus dis
closed nml pressed the spring, re
leasing the panel nt tho back. It dis
appeared as though by witchcraft,
and tho splash of light from tho bull's
eye discovered a canvas bag squatting
humbly In tho secret compartment: a
fat llttlo canvas bag, considerably soiled
from much handling, such as Is used
by hanks for coin, a sturdy, matter-of-fact,
evory-day sort of canvas bag,
with nothing about it of hauteur, no
air of BelMinportancu or ostentution,
to betray tho fact that It was the re
coptaclo of a small fortune.
At Maltland's ear. Incredulous:
"How did you guess?" sho breathed.
Ho took thought and breath, both
briefly, and prevaricated shamelossly:
"Bribed tho head clerk of the ,'safo
.manufacturer who built this."
Rising, ho passed over to tho centor
table, tho girl following. "Steady with
'the light," ho whlspored: and loosed
the string around the mouth of tho
bag, pouring Its contents, a gllstonlng,
priceless, flaming, iritllscent troasuro
lorde, upon tho table.

illl tho room with a Hashing, umaziug,
coruscant glamour, rainbow-like. His
breath camo hot and fa3t as ho gazed
upon tho trove; a queen's ramsom, a
fortuno Incalculable even to Its owner.
As for tho girl, ho thought that the
wonder of It must have struck her
dumb. Not a Sound catno' from the

Then, abruptly, the sun went out;
at least, such was the effect; tho light
of tho hand lamp vanished utterly,
leaving n partly-colored blur swim
ming ugalmst the impenetrable black
ness, befoio his eyes.
Ills lips opened: but a .small hand
fell firmly upon bis own. and a tiny,
tremulous whisper shillled in his car.
"Hush ah, hush!"
"What'.'"
"Steady . . . somo one coming.
. . . the jewels."
He heard tho dull musical clash of
them as her 'hands' swept them bock
Into tho bag. and a cold, sickening fear
rendered him almost faint with the
sonsV of trust misplaced, illusion re
solved Into brutal realities. His lingers
closed convulsively about her wrists;
hut sho held passive.
"Ah, but I might have oxpectod
that!" came her reproachful whisper.
"Take them, then, my my partner
that was." Her tone cut llko n knife,
nntl the touch of the canvas bag, as
she forced It Into his hands, was hate
ful to him.
"Forgive mo" he began.
"Hut listen!"
For a space lie obeyed, the silence
at first seeming tremendous; then,
faint but distinct, be heard the tinkle
nntl slide of the brazen rings support
lng tho smoking room portiere.
His hand sought tho girl's; she had
not moved, and the cool, firm pressure
of her fingers steadied him. Ho
thought quickly.
"Quick!" he told her In the least or
whispers. "Leave by the window you
opened ami wait for mo by tho motor
cr.r."
"No!"
There was no time to romonstrate
with her. Alieady ho bad slipped nway,
shaping a courso for the entrance to
the passage. Hut the dominant thought
in his m(nd was that at all costs the
girl must be spared tho exposure. Sho
wr.s to be saved, whatever the hazard.
Altorwards
The tapestry rustled, but ho was
yet too far distant to spring- He
crept on with the crouching, vlcfous
attitude, mental and physical, of a
panther stalking, its're;. ) , i
Like a hiuidorc'lap from a clear, sky
the glarp of the light broke out from
the celling. Maltland' paused, trans
fixed, on tiptoe, eyes Incredulous, brain
striving to grapplo with the astounding
discovery that had come to Mm',
The third fnctoi' stood iri the door
way, slondor and tall, in menlng dross
as was Maltlaud a. light, full over
coat hanging opon from his shoulders;
one hand hohjlng back tho curtain, the
other arrested on tho light switch, If Is
lips dropped open and his eyes, too,
wero proirutiing wuu nmnzement. i-oa-turo
for feature ho was the counter
part of tho man before htm; In a word,
here was tho real Anlsty.
Tho wonder of It nil saved tho day
for Maltland; Anlsty's astonlshmont
was sincere anU Uhe more complete
la 'that, unlike Maltland, he had boon
unprepared to lint! any one hi the
lilt-my.
For u mere Bi'cotul Ms gaze loft
Maltland ami travelotl on to tin' girl,
then to thi? tilled safe taking; in the
whole significance of tho scone. When
ho spoke, It wast as If dazed.
"Hy God!" ho cried or, rather, tlio
Billables seemed to Jump from Ms
lips lll(o bullets from a i;tm.
Tho words shnttoied tho tabloan. On
their echo Maltlnntl sprang ami fas-
tenet! his linnet nround I lie other's
throat. Carried off his feet hy the i
Hheor ferocity of the assault, Anlsty
Rave ground a little. For an Instant
they weie swaying hack and forth,
with advantage to neither. Then the
burglar's collar .slipped and somehow
tore from Its stud, giving Maltland's
hands freer play. Ills grasp tightened
about tho man's gullet; he shook hint
meicllessly. Anlsty staggered, gasped,
reeled, struck Maltland onco or twice
i upon tho chest feeble, weightless el

concent rated his enoigies In a aln ,
attempt to wionch the hands from his,
throat. Keeling, tearing at Maltland's
wrists, face empurpling, ejes staring i
In agony, ho stumbled. Mercilessly
Maltland fotcod hi in to his knees and ,
bullied him across the lloor toward the ,
I nearest lounge with piemodllated de
sign; finally succeeding In thiowlngj
him Hal; and knelt upon his chest, ie
tatnlug his grip but refraining ftom
throttling him.
As It was, all strength and thought
of resistance had been choked out oft
Anlsty. Hu lay at length, gasping
painfully.
Maltland glanced over his shoulders
and saw the girl moving forwaid, ap
parently making for the Hwltoh.
"No!" ho cried, peremptorily. "Donft
turn off the light please!" J
"Hut" sho doubted.
"Let me have those curtain cords, It
you. please,'.' he jequested. .shortly,.
She followed his gaze to the win

very quick to carry them out. In a '

gradually he recoveiod consciousness ,
and strength. Maltland cared little j
for his ovll glances; he was busy. The
burglar's ankles were next bound to-
gother and to the lounge log; and, nn
Instant later, a brace of half-hitches
about the man's neck and the nearest
support entirely eliminated him as a
possible factoi In subsequent events.
"Those loops around your thiont,"
Maltland warned him curtly, "are
loose enough now, but If you .struggle
they'll tighten and strangle you. Un
derstand?" Anlsty nodded, making an Inco
herent sound with Ills' swollen tongue.
At which Maltland frowned, smitten
thoughtful with a new consideration.
"You mustn't talk, you know," he
mused half aloud; and, whipping forth
a handkorchlof, gagged Mr. Anlsty.
After which, breathing hard and in a
maze of perplexity, lie got to his feet,
Already his hearing, quickened by the
emergency, had nppilsed him oC tiie
situation's Imminent haV.artls. It
needed not the girl's hurried whisper,
"The servants!" to warn him of their
tlrngor. From the- rear wing of tho
mansion the sounds of hurrying foot
wore, distinctly audible, as, presently,
were tho heavy, excited voices of men
and the more shrill and f lightened
cries of women.
Heedless of her displeasure, Malt
land seized the girl by the nrm and
in god her over to the open window.
"Don't hang back!" he told her ner
vously. "You must get out of tills bo-1
foro thoy see you. Ho as I tell you, '
please, and we'll save ourselves yet!
If we both mako a run for It, wo'ro,
lost. Don't you understand?"
"No. Why?" she demanded, reluc
tant, splrltod, obstinate and lovely In
his eyes.
"If he wero anybody else," Maltland
indicated, with a Jerk of his head to
ward the burglar. "Hut didn't you
sco? He must bo Maltland and bos
my double I'll stay, brazen It out,
then, as soon as possible, make my es
cape and join you by the gnte. Your

Hut she had grasped bis intention

him with a little low laugh; and was

Abruptly the door was (lung wldo
and a short, stout man, clutching up
his trousers with a frantic hand, burst
into tho library, brandishing over-

"'Anda hup!" ho cried, leveling nt

The moon was down, the sky a cold,
opaque gray, ovoioast with a light
drift of cloud. The pink seemed very
dark, very diear; a so.uchlng breeze
was sweeping Inland from the sound,
soughing Badly In tho tieo tops; a
chill humidity permeated the air, pre

ered, both with chill nntl reaction from
the tension of the emergency Just past.
He was aware of an Instantaneous
loss of heart, a subsidence of tho
elation which bad upheld him through
out the adventure; and to escape this,
to forgot or overcome It, took Imme
diately to his heels, scampering madly
for the road, oppressed with fear lest
he should find the girl gone with the
Jewels.
That she should prove untrue, faith

His voice choked in his throat, Her

troubled, saddened; yet with eyes In

Sugrv-,tlon and Practical Thought.
Subject: What Faith Has Uono
for Othots and Can Do for Us.
What Faith Is.- Vs. I -it How does
the writer tlotlne ralth? "Faith is tho
substance of things hoped for, the evi
dence of things not seen." Faith Is
not hope, but underlies hope and ron
dels hope conlldont. Faith is not tho
vision of mysteries, but that proof of
thorn in heart and life which assures
us of them without any sight of them.
How does the writer lllustrnte this
faith? "Hy It the elders (not nil men
of nucicut time, hut those of special
renown called 'elders') obtained a
good report" (It. V, "bad witness
borne to them," I e., In the Scripture)
This orse sums up tho long and
splendid catalogue that follows.
What Is the first example of faith?
That of Abel the righteous (so called
throe times out of the four mnntlons
of him In the New Testament; see
Matt, lilt :,.'.; John :!:ll!). His faith
in Cod led to obedience, and thus ho
offered the kind of sacrifice which
Cod npproved and accepted, perhaps
by tire from hoavon.
What Is tho second example of
faith? The, patriarch Uuoch, who
"walked whUt (lod" (tho Soptuaplnt.
used here, has It ''was well pleasing to
dod ); "and ho was not; for (lod took
hlui," This proves Ma, fulfil, for no.
one can go to Cod without faith In
him.
What Is tho third example of fnlth?
Noah, whoso faith in Ood'a warnings
of the coirilug deluge led hint to build
tho ark.' "Noah Is the llrst to re
ceive In Scripture the name 'righteous'
(Cen. (V:D; see also IC.ek. 11.14, 20;
I'et, 2:5). This 'rlfthtoousuosa is
looked on as an Inheritance, received
by all who manifest the faith." -FA-llcott.
What Is the fourth example of
faith? The glorious example of
"faithful' falthtlllcd Abraham," who
proved his faith by leaving his native
laud, bis friends, his home, at the com
mand of Cod, nntl going ho knew not
whither, living In tents In the prom
ised laud, nud not even owning a foot
of it except a place to bury his dead
wife.
How docs the writer sum up tho
lessons of these great lives? Hy point
ing to the contrast between the earth
ly lot of tho patriarchs and tho expec
tations which their faith led them to
cherish.,
Abrnham's Great Test of Faith.
Vs. 17-19. What Is the point of tho
writer's next Illustration? The vnluo
of testB of faltb. Think how many
eager hopes wero '' cantered upon
young Isaac, what long waiting was
rewarded by him, what glorious
promlsos had their fruit in him. In
Isaac should his (Abraham's) seed be
called (Cen. 21:12); that Is, Isaac and
hid descendants wero tot' bo counted
especially as Abraham's seed, Inherit
ing the promises inado to him. And
now his loving father has . offered
Isaac up (IL.V, margin)- for rAbra.
ham's submission to Cod's will is so
entire that the sacrifice is as good as
completed, and, tho lad as, . good, .as.
dead; so that, when tho ram was sub
stituted (Cen. 22-13) for tho boy.
Abrahnm may truly o6snId tof juivo
received his son back'agalil froni the
grave.
How Fnlth dives' Clear Vision.1
Vs. 20-22. Whnt Is tho point of tho
next three illustrations, those of
Isaac, Jacob and Joseph? In each
case, the clear' vision of tho future
that fnlth gives.
Moses' Croat Venture of Faith. Vs.
23-31. How many conspicuous In
stances of faith docs the writor-note
in connection with the exodus from
Kgypt nnd conquest of Canaan? Seven
in nil- not becnuso seven Is "tho per
fect number," nor becnuso thero wero
not more than seven, but because
(v. 32) tlmo failed Mm to recount
otbors, bucIi as the victory at Itopht
dim, tho healing wrought by tho
brazen Berpont, tho report of the two
faithful spies. These seven are:
Tho preservation of Mosos by his
parents; tho cholco made by Moses
when he slow tho Kgyptlnn (Kx. 2; II,
12), which was a virtual renunciation
of the royal court and "the treasures
of Kgypt," and an assumption of tho
cause nf tho enslaved nation of "the
reproach of Christ;" tho forsaking of
Kgypt by Moses; tho celebration of
the first pnssovor; tho passage of tho
Ited sea; tho fall of Jericho, which
was the result of the people's faith,
tested severely bytho seven days of
persistent obedience in almost total
Inaction; thp preservation of ltahab',
, ho ulone of the people of Jericho
had faith to believe In thq destiny of
the Israelites, though nil Jericho had
the same knowledge 'that sho had of
what tho Lord had done for Ms people
(Josh, 2:10).
Heaven's Honor rtoll. Vs. 32-40.
How does tho writer cloao his ex
amples of faith? Ho Instances tho
fnlth of Gideon, of Hurnk, of Samson,
of David and of Samuel, with other
notable exnmplos.
What Is "the conclusion of tho whnlo
matter?" It is in tho llrst versos of
the next chnptor: "Wherefore seeing
wo also are compassed about with so
grent a cloud of witnesses, lot us lay
aside every weight, and the sin
which doth so oaslly besot us, and lot
us run with pntlonoo tho raco that is
set before u.s, looking unto Jesus tlio
author and llnlabor of our faith."
