SYNOPSIS.

Mad" Dan Maitland, on reaching his
New York bachelor club, met an attrac-

OJEagan assured him no one had been
within that day. Dan discovered a wom-

along with a letter from his attorney.
Maitland dined with Zimmerman. his at

woman in gray. whom he had seen leav-
ing his bachelors club. Her auto had

BILE masqueraded as the latter. The
