CHAPTER XI.
"Dann-Qujxote,

Leaving the hotel, Maitland strobe
quietly but rapidly across the car

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

An astonished horse. reused from
droop-eared lethargy, was yanked al
most by main strength out Of the cab
rank and into the middle Of the ave-
nue.. Before he could recover. the
long whiplash had leaped out over
the roof Of the vehicle. and he found
himself stretching away up the avenue
on a dead run.
Yet to Maitland the pace seemed
deadly slow. He fidgeted on the seat
in an agony Of impotence. a dozen
times feeling In waistcoat pocket for
his latch keys. They were there. and
his fingers itched to use them.

watch through the rear peep-hole. was
thrown violently against the side as

dashboard and gathered himself to-
