Leaving the hotel, Maitland strobe

park. A dozen nighthawk cabbies bore
down upon him, yelping in chorus. He
motioned to the foremost. jumped into

nue.. Before he could recover, the
long whip-lash had leaped out over
the roof Of the vehicle, and he found
himself stretching away up the avenue
on dead run.
Yet to Maitland the pace seemed
deadly slow. He fidgeted on the seat
in an agony Of impatience, dozen
times feeling in waistcoat pocket for
his latch keys. They were there, and
his fingers itched to use them.
BY the lights streaking past he
knew that their pace was furious, and
was haunted by fear lest it should

In the cab Maitland, turning to
watch through the rear peep-hole, was
thrown violently against the side as
the hanson rocked on one wheel into
his street. Recovering, he seized the
dashboard and gathered himself to-

vehicle paused in its headlong career.

His tone amused Maitland In the
reaction from the recent strain upon
his wits and nerve. he laughed openly.
"And who are you?' he suggested,
smiling, as the policeman clumped
heavily away.
Hickey spat thoughtfully into a
Satsuma jardiniere and sneered. Il

Maitland bowed affirmation. I'm
sorry to say that that pleasure has

All excep: two of the graduating pu- pilB have decided to get caps.
 The 1908 class are to have their pc ture taken Sunday afternoon for the school annual.
 The copy Of the Alaskan sent to the Northern Light is receiving careful perusal at the hands of many of the pupils. The Atlin Claim also has its deYotees.
 The management of the annual is having great success In securing adver- tisements. About one hundred and thirty dollars has been promised al- ready. This is sufficient, along with what is expected from the sale of the annual, to pay for forty eight pages as originally planned. The intention now is to expend any more money obtained in larger annual, and it is sincerely hoped that one of sixty four pages can be published,
