softly.

But beyond this the bag was irritat-

Undoubtedly, IL one we're to go TO
the length of unsnapping the little,
frail clasp, one would acquire informa-
ton; by such facile means would much
light be shed upon the darkness. But
Maitland put a decided negative to the
suggestion.
No. He would give her the benefit
of the doubt. He would wait, he would
school himself to patience. Perhaps
she would come back for it-and ex-
plain. Perhaps he could find her by
advertising it-and get an explana-
ton. Pending which. he could wait
little while. II was not his wish to
pry into her secrets. even if-even if
II was something to be smoked over.
Strange how It affected him TO have
in his hands something that she had
owned and touched!
Opening a drawer OF the desk, Matt
land produced an aged pipe. A brazen
jar, companion piece to the ash re-

pipe from the jar, with thoughtful de-
liberation. And scraped a match be

not forget the girl--he dropped the
match, swept the book aside, lifted
the bowl.
After q moment OF incredulous awe
the young man rose, with eyes
a-light and a jubilant song in the
heart OF him. Now he knew. now UNI
derstood, now believed. and now was
justified OF his faith!

harked back forever TO that carking

had the Jewels. and there was nothing

What else had they required OF him
His peace OF mind was nothing that
they could turn into cash: and they

But they had that; unquestionably

And still the riddle haunted him:

One minute II seemed patent beyond
dispute that the girl and the great
plunderer were hand-in-glove; the next
minute Maitland was positively as
sured that their recent meeting had
been altogether an accident. From
what he had heard over the telephone,
he had believed them To be quarreling.

the hall stirred the portiere and re-
minded him that the window In the
trunkroom was still open, an invita-

second-story man. SO Maitland went
to close and make II fast.
As he shut down the window-sash
and clamped the catch he trod on
something soft ane yielding. Wonder

carried II back to the light. II proved
TO be the girls handbag.

COAST ACTRESS TO
STAR With TRUST
Miss Mary Bertrand to Have
Leading Feminine Role in
Through a Window"
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Klaw & Erlan-
ger and Joseph Brooks have signed a
long term contract with Miss Mary
Bertrand to play the leading feminine
role in Through a Window by Ger
trude Andrews taking the part planned
originally for Miss Lillian Albertson
who has retired from the stage tempo
rari1y
Miss Bertrand is an unknown quan-
tity to eastern theater goers. She has
appeared chiefly on the Pacific coast
in her brief stage career. The pro-
ducers of the play think that in her
they have discovered genius with
rare histrionic talents. So great is
their faith in the young woman that
they have lifted her in one move from
comparative obscurity to what is con-
sidered one of the strongest roles writ
ten for the coming seasons plays
Little can be written about Miss
Bertrand, as her stage career has been
so brief. She has played on the coast
in John Corts companies with Florence
Roberts. She is a Canadian by birth
and a relative of Margaret Anglin
Through Window is a San Fran
cisco play with the great calamity of
three years ago and the graft ques-
tion as a dramatic motif. The role of
the hero is a study of Francis Heney,
the attorney.
