CHAPTER XII. Continued.
Hat tilted over his eyes, ono elbow
on the clmlrbnek, another on tho table,
flabby Jowls quivering as ho mumbled
tho Indlsponsablo cigar, puffy hands
clasped across his ample chest, ho
sat for many minutes by tho side of
his unheedod drink, pondering, turning
over and over In his mind tho one
ldoa it was capable of harboring at a
tinio.'
"Ho c'u'd 'vo wrote that lottor to

of r.oft paper. Its possessor did not
roqulro to examine It to reassure him
self as to Its legitimacy as a work of

His
brow clouded blnckly.
"Sleuth!" Hlchey ground the epl
thet vindictively between his tooth.
And spat. "Sleuth! Ah hell!"
Recalled to hlmsolf by tho very
vehemence of his emotion, ho turned
hastily, drained to Its dregs tho tnll
glass of lukewarm and vapid beer
which had stoud at his elbow, placed a
nlcknl on tho table, and, rising, wad
dled hastily out into tho night.
It was being borno in upon him with
much force that If ho wished to save
his namo and fame somcthln' hud got
to he douo about it.
"I hadn't oughtuh left him so long,
I guess," ho told himself; "but . . .
I'll get him all right."
And turning, lumbered gloomily east
ward, rnpt with vain imaginings,
squat, Bwollen llguro blending Into the
deep, meaner shadows of tho Tender
loin; and so on townrd Maltland's
rooms morose, misunderstood, malig
nant, coddling his fictitious wrongs;
somehow pathetically typical of the
force ho represented.
On tho corner of Fifth avenue he
pnused, stnrtlod fairly out of his dour
mood by tho loud echo of a name al
ready becomo too hatofully familiar
to his ears, and by tho sight of what,
nt first glance, ho took to bo tho be
ginning of n street brawl.
CHAPTER XIII.
Flight.
In the alcovo tho girl waited, torn
In tho throes of Incipient hysteria; at
first too weak from reaction anil re
vulsion of fooling to do unything other
than lean heavily against tho wall and
light with nil hor strength nnd will
against this crnwllng, shuddering
creeping horror of nerves, that threat
onod allko hor self-control, her con
Hclousnoss, and hor reason.
Hut Insensibly tho tremor woro It
self nwny, leaving her weary and worn
but mistress of her thoughts and ac
tions. And sho dropped with gratitude
Into a chair, bending an ear attentive
to tho war of words being waged In
tho room beyond tho portieres.
At first, however, sho fulled to grasp
tho Import of tho altercation. And
when In tlmo Bho understood Its trend,
It was with Incredulity, resentment,
and a dawning dread lest a worse
thing might yet befall her, worso by
far than nught that had gono bofore.
Rut to bo deprived ot his protection,
to feel herself forcibly restrained from
tho bholtor of his generous caro !
A moment gone sho had been sr
suro that all would now bo well with
her. onco Maltland succeeded In rid
ding himself of tho police. Ho would
shut tho door and and thou sho would
come forth and tell lilin, tell him
ovorythlug, and, withholding naugln
that dauiued her lu hor own esteem,
throw herself upon his morcy, brulsci
with penltenco but sereno In the as
suranco that he would prove kind,
Bho had such faith In his tonder
and gentle kindness now. . . . She
had divined so clearly tho mntlvo that
had permitted Anlsty'a escape In or
der that she might be saved, not alone
from Anlaty. not alone from the shame
of Imprisonment, but from herself us
well from hoi self as Mall hind knew
hor. Tho burglar nut of the way, by
ruso. evasion, or subterfuge tshn would
bo secreted from the prying of tho po
lice, smiiKKlcd out of tho liotiao and
taken to a place of safely, given a
new chance to redeem herself, to clean
her bunds of the mire of theft, to be
come worthy of the womanhood that
was hers. . . ,
Hut now she thrust llngernalls
cruelly Into her soft palms, striving
to contain herself ami keep her tougue
from frying aloud to those three
brutal, blind men the truth; that she
was guilty of the robbery, she with
Anlsty; that Maltland was -Maltland:
u word synod) minis with "man of
honor."
lu the beginning, Indeed, all that re
strained Ihi- from doing so was her
knowledge that Maltland would be
more pained by her sue rlllcc than glad
dened oi i filmed, lie was so sure of
clearlm; himself. ... It was In
conceivable to her that I here could be
men so stupid and eraiisly unobserv
ant as to be able to confuse the Iden
tity of the two men for a single In
slant. What though they did resemble
each other lu form and (future? The
likeness went no deeper; below the
surface, and rising thiough it with
every word and look and gesiuio. lay
a worldwide gulf of dlffeience in
every simile of thought, feeling, and
Instinct.
She herself could never again be de
f rived -no, never! Not for a second
could sh, mistake the one for the
other. . . .What were they saying'.'
The turmoil of her Indignation sub
sided as she listened, breathlessly. In
Maltland's story of his ailventuies:
and the Joy that leaped lu her for his
frank mendacity In suppressing every
Incident that Involved her. Amis all but
overpowering. She could have wept
for sheer happiness; and at a later
time she would: bin not now, when
ever) thing depended on her maintain
ing the veiy Mlleuco of death. . . .
How dared they doubt him? The
Insolents! The crude brutish Insol
ence of them! Her anger raged high
again . . . and as swiftly was
quenched, extinguished lu a twinkling
by ii tenor born of her excitement and
a bare suggestion thrown out by
HIckey
' . . . oxplaltiiu' how a crook like
Anlsty made three Irles in one day
to steal some Jewels and didn't get
'em. Where were they, all this lime'."'
Maltland's cool retort was lost upon
her. What matter? If I bey disbe
lieved him, persisted In calling him
Anlsty, in natural course they would
undertake to search the flat. And If
sho were found. . . . Oh, she must
spare him that! She had given him
caiiso for suffering enough. She must
get away, and that Instantly, before
. . . J'rom a distance, to morrow
morning tonight, ovou by telegraph,
sho could comiuunlcato with him. . . .
At this Juncture O'l lagan entered
with liln parcel. The rustle of the
paper as he brushed against the door
Jamb was lu itself a hint to a mind
keyed to tho highest pitch of excite
nient and seeking a way of escape
from a position conceived to bo peril
ous. In a trice the girl had turned
and sped, Ilghtfooted, to the door open
lug on tho private hall.
Here, halting for a brief reconnals
sunce, sho determined t hut her plan
was feasible, If huzardous. She ran
tho risk of encountering some oik
ascending tho stairs from the ground
Iloor; but if she were cautious am'
quick sho could turn back In tlmo. On
tho other hand, tho men whom she
most feared were thoroughly occupied
with tholr differences, dead to nil snve
thnt which was happening within the
loom's four walls. A curtain htiiig
porhapu u third of tho way across the
study door, tempering tho light In tlu
hall; nnd tho broad shoulders of tin
cabby obstructed the remainder of tin
opening.
It was n chance. She poised herself
on tiptoe, half undecided, and the
rustling of pnpor as O'Hagan openei!
tho parcel afforded her an opportunity
to oscapo, by drowning tho noise ol
her movements.
For two eternal seconds sho wat
odglng stealthily down toward thr
outer dodr; then, In no tlmo at all
found herself on tho landing nnd
confronted by a fresh complication
ono unforeseen: how to leavo tin
houso without being oliserved
stopped, and perhaps detained until
too lato? Thoro would be men nt the
door, boyond doubt; possibly police
stationed thoro to arrest all porsom
attempting to leave. . . .
No tlmo for weighing chances. The
cholco of two alternatives lay before
her: olther to roturn to the alcove
or to seek safety In tho darkness o!
tho upper floors untenanted, as shr
had been at pains to determine. The
lattor seeinod by far tho better, the
less dangerous, courso to pursue. Am!
at onco sho took It.
Thoro was no light on the first
Iloor landing It hnvlng presuinabl)
been extinguished by tho Janitor earl.v
In tho evening. Only a feeble twlllglr
obtained there, In part u relloctnd glow
from tho ontranco hall, partly thin am'
dlfTusod rays escaping from Maltland'f
study. So It was that tho first few
steps upward took tho girl Into dark
noss no closo and unrollovcd as U
scorn almost palpable.
At tho turn of the staircase sin
paused, holding tho rail ami rcstlnr
for an Instant, tho while sho listened
-'ro ascending nt a moro sedate pnc
to n havou of safety moro complete In
hat It would bo moro romote fron
tho battle-ground below.
And, resting bo, was suddenly chlllo
through and through with fear, buooi
childish dread of tho Inlnnglbln and
unknown terrors that lurked In tho
blncknoss nbnvo her. It wnn as If,
rendered supersensitive by strain and
excitement, tho qui vim lug filaments of
her subconsciousness, llko spiritual
tentacles feeling ahead of her, had
encountered and recoiled from a shape
of evil, n specter of horror obscono .nd
malign, crouching, ready to spring,
there, In tho shadow of night. . , .
And her breath was smothered fn
her throat nnd her henrt. smote so
madly ngalust tho frnlt walls of Ita
cage that they seemed llko to burst,
while she stood trausllxcd, frozen in
Inaction, limbs stiffening, roots of hor
hair stirring, fingers gripping tho ban
ister rail until they pained her; nnd
with eyes that stared wide Into tho
black heart of nothingness, until tho
night seemed pricked with evuuoscent
periods of dim tiro, peopled with iiion
Blrouu and terrible shadows cloulng
about her. . . .
Yet It was absurd! She must not
yield to such puerile superstitions.
There was nothing there. . . .
There wan something there . . .
something thai like an lucarnutlon of
hatred was stalking her. . . .
If only nlie dared scream! if only
she dared I urn and lly, back to the
comfort id light, and human com
pany! .
There arose a trampling of fcot in
Hie hnltwit), and she heard Mnltlaud's
voice like a far echo, as ho bade tho
police good night. And distant and
unreachable as he seemed, tho sound
ol his words brought her strength and
jomo reassurance, and she grew
slightly more composed. Yet, the In
stant that he had turned away to talk
to the cabman, her fright or that un
speakable and Incorporeal menace
Heeded her consciousness like a great
wave, sweeping her -metaphorically
olf her feet. And Indeed, for the time,
sho felt as If drowning, overwhelmed
lu vast waters, sinking, sinking Into
Hie black ubyss of syncope. . . .
Then, as a drowning person -wo'ro
told -clutches nt straws, sho grasped
again at the vibrations of bis voice.
. . What was ho saying?
"You will wall outside, please, until
I coine out or send somebody, whom
you will take wherever directed. . . ."
Speaking to the cabman, think
ing of her, providing for her escape!
Couslilcrulo and forcslghtci! as al
ways! How she could have thanked
him! The warmth of gratitude that
enveloped her almost unnerved her;
she was put to It to restrain her Ini
puhio lo rush down the stairs and . . .
Hut no; she must not risk tho
chance of rebntf. How could she fore
tell what was In his mind and heart,
how piobe tho depths of bin feeling
toward her? i'eihaps ho would re
ceive her protestations lu skeptic spir
it. Heaven know he lint! cause to!
Dared she . . . To be repulsed! . . .
Hut no. He had provided this menus
for lllght; she would advantage her
self of it and . . . and thank him
by letter. Rest to; for ho must over
think the worst of her; sho could
never undeceive him pride restrain
ing nnd upholding her.
Hotter so; alio would go, go quickly,
before he discovered her absence from
(he Hat. . . .
And Incontinently she swung about
nnd llew down the stairs, silently,
treading an lightly on tho heavily
padded steps as though sho had been
thistledown whirled adrift by tho
wind, altogether heedless of tho
ci eeilng terror sho had sensed on tho
upper (light, careless of all save her
Immediate need to reach that cab be
fore Multland should discover that sho
had escaped.
Tho door was Just closing behind
the cabby as sho reached tho bottom
step; and sho paused, considering that
It were best to wait a moment, at
least, lest ho should bo surprised at
tho quickness with which his employ
er found work for him; paused and on
Homo mysterious Impulse half turned,
glancing back up tho stairs.
Not a thought too soon; another In
stant's hesitation and she had been
caught, Somo one a man wns de
scending; nnd rapidly. Maltland?
liven In her brief glance she saw tho
white shield of a shirt busom gleam
dull against the shadows. Maltland
was in evening drcsj. Could It bu
possible . . . ?
No tlmo now for conjecture, tlmo
now only for action. Sho Bprang for
tho door, had it open In a trice, uud
before the cabby wns really en
throned upon his lofty box, the girl
wub on (ho atop, fair troubled face
upturned to him in wild entreaty.
"Hurry!" sho cried, distractod.
"Drivo off. at onco! Please oh,
please!"
Seizing reins nnd whip, ho Jerked
tho startled animal between tho shafts
out of Its abstraction and
"I Bay, cabby! Ono moment!"
Tho cabman turned; tho figure on
tho stoop of the houso was undoubted
ly Maltland'u Maltland as ho had Just
seen him, with the addition of it hat
As ho looked tho man was at tho
