once we had a sawfish to follow the

why, the sawfish would saw up our

Maitland twisted his eyebrows in dep
recation of Bannermans attitude;
signified the irrevocability of his de-
cision by bringing his fist down upon
the table-but not heavily enough to
disturb the other diners; and laugh

For some moments he gossiped
cheerfully of his new power boat,
Bannerman attending to the incense
quent details with an air OF abstrac-
ton. Once or twice he appeared
about to interrupt, but changed his
mind; but because his features were
so wholly infantile and open and can

CHAPTER II.
Post-PrandiaI,

Zimmerman pushed back his chair
few inches, shifting position the better
to benefit of a faint air that famed
in through the open window. Matt
land, twisting the sticky stem Of
liqueur glass between thumb and fore
finger, sat in patient waiting for the
lawyer to speak.
But Bannerman was in no hurry;
his mood was rather one contempla-
tive and genial. He was a round and
cherubic little man, with the face of
a guileless child, the acumen of sue
Gessful counsel for sOulless corpora
lions chat is to say, of high order),
no particular sense of humor, and q
great appreciation Of good eating.
And Maitland was famous in his day
as one thoroughly conversant with the
art of ordering a dinner.
That which they had just discussed
had been uncommon in all respects;
Maitland's scheme of courses and his
specification as to details had reused
the admiration of the Primordial's chef
and put him on his mettle, He had
outdone himself in his efforts to do
justice to Mr.. Maitlands genius; and
the PrimOrdial in its deadly conserva-
tism remains to this day one of the
very few places in New York where
good, sound cooking is to be had by
the initiate.
I Therefore Bannerman thoughtfully
sucked at his cigar and thought
fondly of salad that had been to
ordinary salads as his S0-horse-power
car was to an electric blackboard.
While Maitland, with all time at his
purchase, idly flicked the ash from his
cigarette and followed his attorneys
meditatiye gaze out through the win
dow.
Because of the heat the curtains
were Topped back, and there was moth
ing to obstruct the view. Madison
square lay just over the sill, dark
wilderness of foliage here and there
made livid green by arc lights. Its
walks teemed with humanity, its
benches were crowded. Dimly from
Its heart came the cool FLASHING of the
fountain, in lulls that fell unaccount
ably in the roaring rustic of restless
feet. Over across, Broadway raised
glittering walls of glass and stone
and thence came the poignant groar
and rumble of surface cars crawling
upon their weary and unyaryint
rounds.
And again Maitland thought of thu
City, and of Destiny, and of the gra!
girl the silhouette of whose hand wa,
imprisoned beneath the brass bowl OF
his study desk. For by now he wa
quite satisfied that she and none othe
had trespassed upon the privacy of hi
rooms, obtaining access to them in hi
absence by means as unguessable a
her motive. Momentarily he consid
cred taking Bannerman into his cor
iidence; but he questioned the &C
visibility of this, Zimmerman was S
severely practical in his outlook upo
life. while this adventure had bee

CHAPTER I.-continued.

Further and closer inspection de-
veloped the fact that the imprint had
b"en only recently made Within the
EOur-unless Maitland were indeed
mad or dreaming-a woman had stood
by that desk and rested hand, palm
down, upon it; not yet had the dust
had time to settle and blur the sharp
outlines.
Maitland shook his head with be-
wilderment, thinking of the gray girl.
But no. He rejected his halfformed
eXplanation-the obvious one. Besides,
what had he there worth a thief's
while? Beyond a few articles of
virtue and bigotry" and his pictures,
there was nothing valuable in the en-
tire fiat. His papers? But he had
nothing; a handful of letters, cheQue
book, pass book, japanned tin dis
patch box containing some business
memoranda and papers destined event
ually for Bannerman's hands; but
nothing negotiable, nothing worth a
burglars while.
1t was a flat-topped desk, of mahog
any. with two pedestals of drawers, all
locked. Maitland determined this lat
ter fact by trying to open them with
out key; failing his key-ring solved
the difficulty in jiffy. But the draw
ors seemed undisturbed; nothing had
been either handled, or removed, or
mine. And again he wagged his head
from side to side in solemn stupefac-
ton.
This is beyond you, Dan, my boy"
And: But I've got to know what it
means"
In the hall OHagan was shutting
impatience. Pondering deeply, Matt
land relocked the desk and got upon
his feet. A small bowl of beaten brass,
which he used as an ash receiver,
stood ready to his hand; he took 1t up,
carefully blew it clean of dust, and
inverted it over the print Of the hand.
On top of the bow! he placed a
weighty afterthought in the shape of
q book.
"OHagan!"
"Waitin', sor."
Come hither, O'Hagan. You see
