At another time, and with another

to play his catch so roughly; but, as
he had reckoned, the comfortable state

champagne. had dulled the official ap-
p~rehensions of Sergt. Hickey.

things taken under mature considera-

he was the very devil of a fellow. With
what consummate skill he had played
his hand! Now the pursuit of the
Maitland burglar would be abandoned;
the news item suppressed at headquar-
ters. And it was equally certain that
Maitland (when eventually liberated)
would be at pains to keep his part of
the affair very much in shadow.

Then ~Tomahawked Him.

AS for that grit of mountaineering
Indian women-which has been cele-
brated in a wellknown book, there is
a story in Fur News which is good
evidence of their physical courage.
A dealer in skins tells of a squaw
who vas walking along on her snow
shoes one day when her small boy
saw a bear curled up under the snow
in his winter sleep. She could not kill
him where she was, so she dashed a
pair of scissors to a sapling, prodded
him out and smashed his head in with
her tomahawk as he emerged.
Il gave her ten dollars for the skim"
writes the dealer. $50 it was not a bad

piece of hunting that | remember was

though l admit it is more interesting"
Just as yeh say, sir"
Awed and awkward, the police de-
tective stumbled up the steps behind
his imperturbable guide; it was a
great honor, in his eyes, to lunch in
company with a swell" Man of
stodgy common sense and limited edu-
cation that he was, the glamour of
the Maitland millions obscured his
otherwise clear vision completely. And
uneasily he speculated as to whether
or not he would be able to manipulate
correctly the usual display of knives
and forks.
An obSequious ~headwaiter greeted
them, bowling, in the lobby. Good aft

Good afternoon" responded the
masquerader, with an assumed alb
straction, inwardly congratulating
himself upon having hit upon a res

evidently known. There were few cir

to profit, fewer emergencies to which
he could not rise, he complimented

At sight of him the thief was con-

by a thrill of excitement like a wave
of heat sweeping through his being.
Instantaneously his eyes flashed; then
were dulled. Imperturbable, listless,
hall-marked the prey of ennui, he
waited, undecided, upon the stoop,
while the watcher opposite, catching
sight of him, abruptly abandoned his

SYNOPSIS.
COPYRIGHT 1907
THE

Mad Dan Maitland, on reaching his
New York bachelor club, met an attrac-
tive young woman at the door. Janitor
O'Hagan assured him no one had been
within that day. Dan discovered a wom-
ans finger prints in dust on his desk,
along with a letter from his attorney.
Maitland dined with Zimmerman, his at
torney. Dan set out for Greenf1elds, to
get his family jewels. During his walk
to the country seat, he met the young
woman in gray, whom he had seen leay-
ing his bachelors club. Her auto had
broken down. He fixed 1t. By a ruse she
lost him.. Maitland, on reaching home,
surprised lady in gray, cracking the safe
containing his gems. She, apparently,
took him for a w~ell-known crook, Daniel
Anisty. Half-hypnotized, Maitland opened
his safe, took therefrom the jewels, and
gave them to her, first forming a part
nership in crime. The real Dan Anisty,
sought by police of the world, appeared
on the same mission. Maitland overcame
him. He met the girl outside the house
and they sped on to New York In her au-
to. He had the jewels and she promised
to meet him that day. Maitland received
a Mr.. Snaith." introducing himself as a
detective. To shield the girl in gray,
Maitland. about to show him the jew
els. supposedly lost, was felled by a blow
from "Snaith's" cane The latter proved
to be Anisty himself and he secured the
gems. Anisty, who was Maitland's dou-
