Tho janltor-valct had previous experiences with Malt land's generosity In Ktateful memory; nnd shut his lips tightly In promise of virtuous reticence. "You won't regret It. Now tell mo what you mean hy saying that you saw me go out at ono this afternoon?" Again tho flood gatos were lifted; from the dclugu of explanations and protestations Maltland extracted the general drift of narrative. And In tho end held up his hand for silence. "I think I understand, now. You say ho had changed to my gray suit?" O'Hagan dartod Into tho hedroom, whence ho emorged with confirmation of his statement. " 'TIs gone, sor, an " "All right. Hut," with a rttoful smllo, "I'll take the llhorty of countermand ing Mr. Snaith's order. If ho should call again, O'Hagan, I very much want to soo lilm." "Faith, and 'tis mesllf will have a worrnd or two to whlspor lit tho car av him, sor," announced O'Hagan, grimly. "I'm afraid tho opportunity will ho lacking. You may fix mo a hot hath now, O'Hagan, and put out my oven Ins clothes. I'll dine nt the club to night and mny not ho buck." And, rl3lns, Maltland approached a .tilrror; boforo which ho lingered for several minutes, cataloguing his In juries. Taken ultogother, thoy amounted to little. The swelling of his wrists and nnklo3 was subsiding gradually; there wa4 a slight redness visible In the corners of his mouth, ainl a shadow of discoloration on his rlsJit temple something that could bo -r nr Wm -. T-w I BOSBS - ZHtnnlLU CO. concealed hy brushing his hair In a new way. "I think I shall do." concluded Malt land; "there's nothing to exclto partic ular comment. The bulk of the sore ness Is Inside." Seven p. in. "Time." said the short and thick-sot man casually, addressing no one In particular. Ho shut the lid of his watch with a snap and returned thn tlmeplcco to his waistcoat pocket. Simultaneously he surveyed both sides of tho short block between Seventh and St. Nich olas avenues with one comprehensive glance. Presumably he saw nothing of inter est to him. It was not a particularly Ins resting block, for that matter, though somewhat typical of the neigh borhood. Tho north side was lined with flvo-story tint buildings, their dingy-rod brick facades regularly broken by equally dingy brownstone sloops, its to the ground floor, by open windows as to those above. Tho so'Ui sldo was mostly taken up by a tow ering whito apartment hotel with an ostontattotis entrance; against ono of whoso polished stone plllurs tho short and thick-set man was lounging. The sidewalks, north and south, uwanned with children of assorted ages, playing with tho ferocious en orgy characteristic of tho young of Ilt-rlem; their blood-curdling cries and premature Fourth-of-July fireworks crouted an appalling din, to which, hewovor, tho moro maturo donlzons had apparently become callous, through long endurance. Ueyond tho party-colored lights of a drug store window on Sovonth avenue, the electric nrcs were casting a sickly radiance upon the dusty leavos of the tree-lined drive. Tho avenue itself was crowded with motor cars and horse-drawn pleasuro vehicles, mostly bound uptown, their occupants seeking the cooler airs and wider spaces to be found beyond the Harlom rlvor and nlong the Speedway. A few blocks to the west Cathedral heights bulked llko a greut wall, wrappod in purple shad ows, Its jagged contour sturk against an evening sky of suavo old rose. Tbo short and thick-sot body, how over, seemed to have no particular ap preciation of the beauties of nuturo as oxhlblted by West Ono Hundred and eighteenth streot on a summer's even ing. If anything, he could apparently havo desired n cooling breeze; for, aftor a moment's doubtful considera tion, ho unbuttoned his waistcoat and heaved a sigh of rellof. Then, carefully shifting tho butt of a dead cigar from ono cornor of- his mouth to tho other, where It was al most hidden by tho Jutting thatch of his black mustache, and drawing down over his eyes tho brim of a rusty plug hat, ho thrust fat hands Into the pock ets of hlu shabby trousers and Iouuged airaiust tho polished pillar ovon moro energetically than before, ff that were possible. An unr.iniantlc. npathetlR figure, fitting mi naturally Into his sitr-1 foundings us tn dein.tnd no second look oven from the most nliservant: yet ono seeming to possess it inugnetlr utti ac tion for tho eos of the halllmy of the apartment hotel (who, acquainted by sight mid hearsay with the stout gen tloman's Idcnillv and calling, bent upon lilm a Hio:uirut ami adoring re gard), as well id inr the policeman who lorded It on the St. .Nicholas ave nue corner. In front of the real estate olllce, and who from time to time shifted his contiMuphiilon from the In Unite spaces of the heavens, the bo'lor to exchange a furtive nod with the Idler In the hotel doiirwuy. Presently at no great lapse of time after the short ami thick-set jiiun had stowed away his watch out of the thronged sldewallts of Seventh avenue a man appeared, walking west on the north side of the street and reviewing catelessly the nunilieis on the Illumin ated fanlights: a tall man, drcscil all In gray, and swinging a thin walking stick. The short, thickset person assumed a mien of more Intense abstraction than ever. The tall man In gray paused Indefi nitely before the brownstone stoop of the house numbered 'jo.'i, then swung up the steps and into the vestibule. Here he halted. In tiding over to scru tinize the mime on the letter boxes. The short, thick set man teluctantly detuched himself from his polished p'llar and waddled ungracefully across the street. The policeman on the corner seemed at'ddenly Interested In Sovonth ave nue, and walked in that direction. The gray man, having vainly de ciphered all the names on one side of the vestibule, straightened up and turned his attention to the opposite wall, either unconscious of or Intllf f''rent to the shullle of feet on the stoop behind him. The short, thickset man removed one hand from a pocket and tapped the gray man gently on tho shoulder. "l.ookln' for McCahe. Anlsty?" he Inquired, genially.. Tho 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, ynod evening, Hlckey! What brings yon ti)i this way?" The short, thick -sol man permitted his Jaw to droop and his eyes to pro trtido for some seconds. "Oh." he said In a tone of great disgust, "hell!" He pulled himself together with an effort. "Kxcuse me, Mr. Maltland," he stammered, "1 wasn't lookln' for yeh." "To the contrary. I gather from your gieetlng you were expecting our friend, Mr. Anlsty?" And the gray man smiled. Hlckey smiled in sympathy, hut with less evident relish of the situation's hi'innr. "That's right," ho admitted. "Got a tip front the c'mlss'ner's ofllco this evonlng that Anlsty would be here nt seven o'clock lookln' for a party named McCabe. 1 guess It's a bunt tip, all tight; but of course I got to look Into It." "Most assuredly." Tho gray man bent and Inspected the names again. "I am hunting tip an old friend," he explained, carelessly; "a man named Simmons knew him In college down on his luck wrote mo yesterday. There he Is: Fourth floor, east. I'll see you when I come down, I hope, Mr. Hlckey." Tho automatic lock clicked and the door swung open; the gray man pass ing through and up the stairs. Hlckey, ostentatiously Ignoring tho existence of tho policeman, returned to his post of observation. At eight o'clock he was still there, looking bored. At 8::i0 he was still there, wearing a puzzled expression. At nine ho called the adoring hall boy, gave him a quarter with minute Instructions, and saw him disappear Into tho hallway of No. 205. Three minutes later tho hoy was back, breathless hut enthusiastic. "Missis Simmons," ho explained be tween gasps, "says she ain't never heard of nobody named Maltland. Somebody rang her boll a whllo ugo an apologized for dlsturhln' hor said he wanted tho folks on tho top floor. I guess ycr man went acrost tho roofs; them houses Is all connected, and yuh c'n walk clear from tho cornor hero tub half-way up tub Nineteenth streot, on Sain' Nicholas avonoo." "Uh-htih," laconically returned tho dotectlve. "Thanks'." And turning on his hcol, walked westward. Tho policeman crossed tho street to dotaln him for a momont's chat. "I guoss It's all off, Jim," Hlckey told him. "Some ono must vo tipped that crook oft. Anyway, I ain't goln' to wait no longor." "I wouldn't neither," agreed tho uni formed member. "Say, who's yor friend yeh was talkln' tub, 'while ago?" "Oh, a frlon' of mine. Yell didn't havo no call to git oxclted then, ,11m. G'nlght." And Hlckey proceeded westward, a listless and prooccuplod man by the vacnnt eye of him. Dut whon ho emerged Into tho glare of Eighth nve nuo his face was unusually rod. Which may havo been duo to the heat. And Just before boarding a downtown sur face car, "Oh," ho enunciated with gus to, "hell!" One a. m. Not until. tho rich and mellow chime had merged into tho stillness did the Intruder daro again draw breath. Com ing as It had the very niomont that tho door had closed noiselessly behind her, tho doublo stroke had sounded to her like a knoll; or, perhaps moro llko tho prelude to tho wild. alarum of a totuln, tlrst striking her heart still with terror, then urging it Into panic llutteiings. , Hul these, its the minutes drew on, marked only by the dull methodic tick ing of the clock, quieted; and at length she mustered courage to tnovo from the door, against which she had llatiened herself, one hand clutching the knob, ready to pull it open iiml lly upon the llrst aggressive sound. In the Interval hor eyes had becomo iii'fiMonied to the darkness. The study door showed u pale oblong on her tight; lo her left, and a little to ward the rear or the Hat, tho door of Mankind's bed chamber stood ajar. To tills she tiptoed, standing upon the threshold and listening wiih 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 uti electric hand lamp. Its circumscribed bhtze wavered over pillows and counterpane spotless and undisturbed. Then for the Unit time she breathed freely, convinced that she hnd been right in surmising that Maltland would not return that night. Since early evening she bad watched the house from the window of it top. tleor hall bedroom In the boarding house opposite. Shortly before seven idle had seen Maltland. stiff nnd uncompromising in rigorous even lag die-is, leave In u cub. Since then only once had it light nppeared In his rooms; at about half after nine the janitor had appeared In the study, turning up the gas and going to the telephone. Whatever the nature of the coinninnleallon received, the girl liad taken It lo Indicate that Maltlaud hud decided to spend the night else where; for the study light had burned for some' ten minutes, during which the Janitor could occasionally be seen moving mysteriously about; and something later, beating n suitcase, he had left the house and shullled rapidly eastward lo Madison avenue. So she felt convinced that she had all tho small hours before her, secure from Interruption. And this time, she, told herself, she purposed making as-' surance doubly sure. lint llrst to guard against discovery from the street. Turning hack through the hall, sho dispensed with the hand-lamp, enter ing the darkened study. Hero all win dows had been closed and the outer shades drawn O'llngan's last act be fore leaving with the suit-case addi tional proor that Maltland was not ex peeled hack that night. For tho tem perature was high, the air In tho closed room stilling. Crossing to the windows, the girl drew down the dark green Inner shades and closed the folding wooden shutters over them. And was con scious of a deepened sense of security. Next going to the telephone, she re moved the recelvor from the hook and let It hang at the full length of tho cord. In the dead silence tho small voice or Central was clearly articu late: "What number? Hello, what number?" followed by the grumbling of tho armature as the oporator tried fruitlessly to ring the disconnected boll. The girl smiled faintly, awaro that there would now be no Interrup tion from an Inopportune call. There remained as a final precau tion only a grand tour of tho flnt; which she made expeditiously, passing swiftly and noiselessly (one contem plating midnight raids does not attire one's self in silks and starched things) from room to room, all comfortably empty. Satisfied at last, she found herself again in the study, nnd now boldly, mlud at rest, lighted the brass student lump with the green shade, which she discovered on tho desk. Standing, hands resting lightly on hips, breath coming quickly, cheeks flushed .and eyes alight with some In timate and inscrutable emotion, sho surveyed the room. Out of the dusk that lay beyond the plash of Illumina tion beneath the lamp, tho furniture began to take on familiar shapes; tho divans, tho heavy leather-cushioned easy chairs, tho lull clock with Its pal lid storing face, tho small tables and tabourottos, handily disposed for tho reception of books and mngnzlnes and pipes and glasses, the towering, old fashioned mahogany book case, tho usoless, ornamental, beautiful Chip pondalo escritoire, In ono corner; all somberly shadowed and all combining to diffuse an Impression of qulot, easy going comfort. Just such a study as he would natur ally have. Sho nodded silent approba tion of It as a whole. And, nodding, sat. down at tho desk, planting olhows on Its polished surfaco, Interlacing hor fingers and cradling hor chin upon tholr backs, turned suddenly pensive. Tho mood held hor but briefly. Sho hnd no time to waste, and much to accomplish. , . . Sitting back, her lingers iJght and pressed the clasp of hor hand-bag nnd produced two articles a golden cigarette case and a slightly soiled canvas bag. Tho Maltland Jewels were returning by a devious way, to the their owner. (TO UK OONTINIMOD.) Immense Electric Machine.
