CHAPTER XI. Continued.
In tho cnb, Maltland, turning to
watch through tho rear pcopholo, was
thrown violently against tho sldo as
tho hansom rocked on ono wheol Into
his street. Recovering, ho seized tho
dashboard and gathered himself to
gether, ready to spring tho instajit tho
vohlclo naiiBod In Its headlong career.
Through tho cabby's misunderstand
ing of tho address, In all likelihood,
tho horso was reined In on Its
haunches some threo houses distant
from tho apartmont building. Malt
land found himself sprawling on his
hands and knees on tho sidewalk,
picked himself up. shouting: "You'll
wait?" to tho driver, and sprinted
madly tho fow yards separating him
from his owu front door, keys ready lu
hand.
Simultaneously tho half-winded po
Hcemnn lumbered around tho Fifth
nvonuo corner, and a man, detaching
himself from tho shadows of a neigh
boring doorway, began to trot loutish
ly across tho street, evidently with
tho Intention of Intercepting Maltland
at tho door.
Ho was hnrdlv nulck enough. Malt
land did not oven seo him. Tho door
slammed In tho man's face, nnd ho,
panting harshly, rapped out an Im
precation and began n frantic assault
on tho push-button marked "Janitor."
As Tor Maltland, ho was taking tho
stairs threo at a clip, and had hln pass
key In tho latch almost as soon as U1b

feet touched the llrst landing. An In
stant later ho thrust tho door open and
blundered blindly Into tho pitch dark
ness of his study.
For a thought ho stood bowildered
and dismayed by tho absence of light.
IIu had thought, somehow, to find the
gas jots llnrlng. Tho ntmosphoro was
hot and foul with tho odor of kero
sene, tho blackness filled with strango
sounds nnd mysterious moving shapes.
A grunting gasp camo to his ears, nnd
then tho silence and tho night alike
wore split by a report, nccompanlcd by
a streak of orange ilame shooting
colllngward from tho nilddlo of tho
room.
Its light, transient ns It was, gave
him somo Inkling of the situation. Un
thinkingly ho Hung himself forward,
ready to grapplo with that which first
should meet his hands. Something
soft nnd yielding brushed against his
shouldor, and subconsciously, In tho
auto-hypnosls of his excitement, ho
was awaro of u mnn's voice cursing
and a woman's cry of triumph trailing
off into a wall of pain.
On tho Instant ho found himself at
grips with tho marauder. For a mo
ment both swayed, dazed by tho shock
of collision. Then Maltland got a foot
ing on tho carpet and put forth his
strength; tho other gave way, slipped,
nnd went to his knees. Maltland's
hands found his throat, lingers sinking
deep into flesh ns ho boro tho fellow
backward.
A mntch flared noiselessly and tho
.Vis blazed ovorhead. A cry of nston
ishment choked In his throaat as lie
recognized his own features duplicated
In tho faco of tho man whoso throat ho
was slowly nnd relentlessly constrict
ing. Anlsty! Ho had not thought of
him or connected him with the sounds
that had thrilled nnd alarmed him over
tho telephone wlro coming out of tho
void and blackness of night. Indeed,
ho had hardly thought any cohorcnt
thing about tho matter. Tho ring of
tho girl's "No!" had startled him, and
he had somohow thought, vnguoly,
thatO'Hagan nnd surprised her In tho
flat. Hut more than that
Ho glanced swiftly asldo nt tho girl
standing still beneath tho chandelier,
tho mntch in ono hand burning to
ward her linger tips, In the other An
lsty's rovolver. Their eyes met, and
lu hers tho light of gladness leaped
and fell like a living flame, then died,
to bo roplnced by a look of outrcaty
nnd prayer so moving that his heart
lu Its unselfish chivalry wont out to
her.
Who or what she was, howsoover
damning tho ovldenco against her, ho
would bellovo against belief, shield her
to tho end nt whatever hazard to him
self, whatever cost to his fortunes.
Lovo Is unreasoning and unreasonable
oven when unrecognized.
Ills senses seemed to vibrato with
redoubled activity, to become abnor
mally nciito. For the llrst tlmo ho was
conscious of tho Imperative clamor of
tho electric boll In O'llagnn's quarters.
as well as of tho Janitor's rich brogue
voicing his Indignation ns ho opened
the basement door and prepared to as
cend. Instantly the cause of the dis
turbance flashed upon him.
His strangle hold on Anlsty relnxcd,
he released the man, and, brows
knitted with the concentration of his
thoughts, he stepped back nnd over to
tho girl, lifting her hand nnd gently
taking the revolver from her lingers,
llelow, (VI lagan was parleying
through the closed door with the late
callers. Maltland could have blessed
his hotheaded Irish stupidity for the
delay he was causing.
Already Anlsty was on his feet
again, blind with rage and crouching
ns If ready to spring, only restrained
by tho sight of his own revolver,
steady nnd threatening In Mnltland's
baud.
For the least part of a second the
young man hesitated, choosing his
way. Then, resolved, lu nccents of
determination: "Stand up, you hound!"
ho cried. 'Hack to the wall there!"
anil thrust the weapon under the burg
lar's nose.
The move gained Instant obedience.
Mr. Anlsty could not reasonably hesi
tate In the face of such odds.
"And you," Muttlund continued over
his shoulder to the girl without remov
ing his attention from the burglar. "Into
the nlcovo there, nt once! And not a
word, not a whisper, not a sound until
I call you!"
Sho gave him one frightened nnd
piteous glance, then, unquestioning,
slipped quietly behind the portieres.
To Anlsty, again: "Turn your pock
ets out!" commanded Maltland.
"Quick, you fool! The police nro he-
low; your freedom depends on your
haste."
Anlsty's hands flew to his pockets,
emptying their contents on the floor.
Maltland's eyes sought In vain tho
shape of tho canvas bag. Hut time
was too precious. Another moment's
procrastination and
"That will do," ho said, crisply,
without raising his voice. "Now listen
to me. At tho end of the hall, there,
you'll find a trunk closet, from which
a window "
"I know."
"Naturally you would. Now go!"
Anlsty waited for no repetition of
tho permission. Whatever tho mad
ness of Mail Maiiianu. no was con
cerned only to profit by It. Novor bo
fore had tho long arm of the law
stretched hungry lingers so nenr his
collar. Ho went, springing down tho
hall In long, soundless strides, vanish
ing Into Its shadows.
As ho disappeared Maltland stepped
to tho door, raised his revolver, and
pulled the trigger twice. The shots
detonated loudly In that confined spnee,
and rang coincident with the clash nnd
clatter of shivered glass. A thin cloud
of vapor obscured the doorway, sway
ing on tho hot. still air, then parted
and dissolved, dissipated by tho en
tranco of four men who, thrusting tho
door violently open, struggled Into tho
hallway.
Hluo cloth and brass buttons moved
conspicuously In the van, n grim faco
flushed and perspiring beneath tho hel
met's vizor, a revolver poised menac
ingly In ono hand, locust ns ready In
tho other. Hehlnd this outward and
vlslhlo mnnlfestntlon of the law's
majesty bobbed a rusty derby, cocked
jauntily bnck upon the red. shining
forehead of a short and thick-set per
son with a blnck mustache. O'Hagan's
agitated countenance loomed over n
dusty shoulder, and tho battered silk
hat of tho nlghthawk brought up the
rear.
"Como In, everybody," Maltland
greeted thorn cheerfully, turning back
into tho study and tossing tho revol
ver, shreds of smoke still curling up
from Its muzzle, upon a divan.
"O'Hagan," ho called, on second
thought, "jump downstairs and seo
that nil New York doesn't got In. Lot
nobody In!"
As tho jnnltor unwillingly obeyed,
policeman and dctectlvo found their
tongues. A volley of questions, to the
general purport of "What's th' mcanin'
of all this hero?" assailed Maltland as
he rested himself coolly on nn edge
of tho desk. Ho responded, with ono
oyobrow slightly clovnted:
"A burglnr. What did you supposo?
That I was Indulging In targot practice
at this tlmo of night?"
"Which way'd ho go?"
"Hack of tho flat through tho win
dow to tho flrc-oscnpo, I supposo. 1
took a couplo of shots after him, but
missed, and, Innsmuch ns ho was
nrmod, I didn't pursue."
Hlckey stopped forwnrd, glowering
unpleasantly at tho young man. "Yeh
go along," ho told tho uniformed man,
'"nd seo 'f he's tellln' tho truth. I'll
stay hero 'nd keep blm company."
Ills tone amused Maltland. In tho
reaction from tho recont strain upon
his wits and norvo, ho laughed openly.
"And who are you?" ho suggested,
smiling, ns the policeman clumped
heavily away.
Hlckey spat thoughtfully Into a
Satsuma Jardlnloro and sneered. "I
s'poso yeh novor saw mo before?"
Maltland bowed alllrmntlon. "I'm
sorry to say that that pleasure has
herotoforo been denied mo."
"Uli-huh," agreed tho detective,
sourly, "I guess that's a hot ono, too."
Ho scowled blackly lu Maltlantl's
amazed face and seemed abruptly to
swell with mysterious rage. "My
nnmos Hlckey," ho Informed him, ven
omously, "and don't yirti loso sight of
that after this. It's sonicthln' It won't
hurt yeh to remember. (Juoss yer
inem'ry'B taking a vacation, huh?'
"My denr man," said Maltland, "you
speak In parables and If you'll par
don my noticing It with somo uncalled-for
silicon. Might l suggest that
you moderate your tone? For," ho
continued, facing the man squarely, "if
you don't, It will bo my duty and
pleasuro to hoist you Into tho street."
"I go: a photergrnpht of yoh doing
It," prowled Hlckey. 'Still, seeing ns
yeh never saw me before, I guess It
won't do no harm for yeh to connect
with this" And he turned back his
coat, uncovering the ofllclal shield of
tho detective bureau.
"Ah!" cotntuiMiiecl Maltland. polite
ly. "A detective? How Interesting!"
"Fire-escape winder's broke, nil
tight." This was the policeman, re
turned. "And some one's let down tho
bottom length of ladder, but there ain't
nobody In sight."
"No," Interjected Hlckey. " 'nd there
wouldn't 've been If you'd been waltln'
In tho back yard nil night."
"Certainly not." Maltland agreed,
blandly; "especially If my burglar had
known It. lu which case I fancy ho
would have chosen another route by
tho roof, possibly."
"Yeh know Homethln' about roofs
yehself, domiiuh?" suggested Hlckey.
"Well, guess yeb'll have time to write
a book about It while yeh"
He stepped unexpectedly to Mali
land's side and bent forward. Some
thing cold and bard closed with u
snap around each of the young man's
wrists. He slatted up, face nllame
with Indignation, forgetful of the girl
hidden lu the alcove.
"What the devil!" be cried, holly,
Jingling the handcuffs.
"Ah, come olT." Hlckey athlsed blm.
"oh cant blun It forever, you know.
Come along and tell the surge all
about it, Daniel Maltland, Esqulro,
alias Handsome Dan Anlsty, gentle
man burglar. Ah, cut that out, young
fellow; vttuo foxy, nil tight, but
you've pushed yer run of lurk too
hard."
Hlckey paused, perplexed, finding no
words wherewith adequately to volcrt
tho disgust aroused lu him by his prls.
oner's demeanor, something far from
seemly, to his mind.
The humor of the situation had Just
dawned upon Maltland, and the young
man wns crimson with appreciation.
"(So on, go on!" be begged, feebly.
"Don't let me slop you. Hlckey. Don't,
please, let me spoil It all. Your Sher
lock Holmes, Hlckey, Is ono of tho
llnest characterizations 1 have over
witnessed. It Is a privilege not to bo
underestimated to be permitted to piny
Unities to you. Hut seriously, my dear
sleuth!" with an unhappy attempt to
wipe his eyes with hampered lists,
"don't you think you're wasting your
tnlents?"
Hy this time even tho policeman
seemed doubtful. He glanced askance
nt tho detective and shtillled uneasily.
As for tho cabby, who bad blustered
In at llrst with Intent to demand his
due in no uncertain terms, apparently
Maltland's bearing, coupled with tho
Inherent contempt and hatred of tho
nlghthawk tribe for the minions of tho
law, had won his sympathies complete
ly. Lounging against a door-Jamb,
quite at homo, he genially puffed an
unspeakable cigarette and nodded ap
probation of Maltlnud's every other
word.
Hut Hlckey Hlckey bristled helllg-
erently.
"Fine," ho declared, acidly; "tlno
and dandy. I take off my hat to yoh,
Dan Anlsty. I may be a bad actor, all
right, but yeh got me beat at tho
post."
Then turning to the policeman: "I
got him right. Look here!" Drawing
n folded nowspaper from his pocket,
ho spread It open for the olllcer's In
spection. "Yeh seo them pictures?
Now, on tho level, Is It natural?"
Tho patrolmnn frowned doubtfully,
glueing from the paper to Maltland.
Tho cabby stretched n curious neck.
Maltland groaned inwardly; he had
seen that Infamous sheet.
"Now listen." the .ietectlvo ex
pounded with gusto. "Twlct to-day this
hero Maltland, or Anlsty, meets inc.
Once on tho stoop here, 'nil bo's Malt
land 'nd lakes mo to lunch see? Next
tlmo It's In Harlem, where I'vo been
sent with a hot tip from the c'tumls

I ain't Btiro then, but I'm doln' some

ho gives mo the slip 'nil 1 chases down
here, waltln for him to turn up. Com
ing down on tho car I buys this paper
'ml , sees tho pictures, and then I'm
on. Seo?"
"Uh-huh," grunted tho patrolman,
scowling at Maltland. Tho cabby
caressed his nose with a soiled fore
finger reflectively, plainly a bit pre
judiced by HIckoy's exposition.
"Ono minute," Maltland Interjected,
eyes twinkling nnd lips twitching.
"How long ago was It that you began
to watch this house, sleuth?"
"Flvo minutes before yoh como,"
responded Hlckey, Ignoring tho Insult.
"Now"
"Took you a long timo to figure this
out, didn't It? Hut go on, please."
"Well, I picked tho winner, all
right," flared tho detective. "I guess
that'll bo about nil for yours."

The Business of Farming.
Wo nro just awakening to tho fact
that tho valuo of farm land Is rap
idly Increasing In America. Ever since
tho dlscovory of tho continent there
havo boon vast tracts of unoccupied
land subject to free settlement until
now. Wo havo at last filled up tho
continent nnd all tho land worth till
ing Is under ownership. Wo nro doing
much by Irrigation to reclaim tho arid
la:. ds, but these aro rapidly filled up
us soon as thoy aro jnado tillable.
Relieved of tho pressure of vacant
lands, thoro can bo no doubt that tho
value of farms will continue to rise
and tho valuo of farm products will
rlso with them. Tho present depres
sion In tho commorclnl and Industrial
world has caused no drop In tho price
of farm products, no particular de
crease In tho' cost of living; indeed, it

Paul's Plans for tho Future. For at
least two years and three months Paul
had been working lu Ephesus and
was about ready to go on extending
Christianity even to Homo (see Rom.
1: 111; If.: 23), and on to Spain (Rom.
lfi: 'J I), after visiting nnd strengthen
cnlng the churches In Macedonia nnd
(Ireece, and bcnrlug the gifts of Phi
llppl, Thessalonlca, llerea, Corinth
and other (lentllo churches (Rom. 15:
2f) to the poor In .lerusalum.
In Corinth he expected to recelvo
contributions for the poor In Jerusa
lem (1 Cor. lfi: 1-1).
He sent two of bis helpers, Timothy
nnd Ktastus (1! Tim. 4: 'JO), through
Macedonia to Corinth (l Cor. 1: I" 10)
to prepare that church for his ap
proaching visit. Paul succeeded In nil
theso plans, but Home of them wero
accomplished In a very different man
ner, Paul "stayed In Asia for a season"
(V. '22). Apparently for several weekn
or months. From the fact that Asia
Is mentioned rather than Ephesus, Its
capital, It has been Inferred that ho
did not remain in the city all tho
time, but labored In tho outlying dis
tricts. A Contrast. In our last lesson wo
saw how Christians voluntarily gave
up a bail business, nt great cost to
themselves, for Chrlst'B sake. Now

associates, and dragged them away ns

stones fall from tho sky.
Thus was peace and quiet restored.
The signs of these times meant
that It was best for Paul to leavo Im

whllo Kphesus was sottling down Into
quiet pence, and tho church continued
to grow in character and numbers.
Tboreforo Paul bade tho beloved
church goodby and "departed for to

2. Paul had not committed tho
wrong with which ho was charged.
Ills converts had been very caroful
not to blaspheme the goddess. His
method of overcoming idolatry Is
quite noticeable. The contrast bo

argument.
