from Anisty, not alone from the shame
of Imprisonment, but from herself as
well-from herself as Maitland knew
her. The burglar out of the way, by
ruse, evasion, or subterfuge she would
be secreted from the prying of the po-
lice, smuggled out of the house and
taken to place of safety, given a
new chance to redeem herself, to clean
her hands of the mire of theft, to be-
come worthy of the womanhood that
was hers.
But now-she thrust finger-nails
cruelty into her soft palms, striving
to contain herself and keep her tongue
from crying aloud to those three
brutal, blind men the truth; that she
was guilty of the robbery, she with
Anisty; that Maitland was-Maitland;
a word synonymous with man of
honor"
In the beginning, indeed, all that re-
strained her from doing so was her
knowledge that Maitland would be

conceivable to her that there could be
men so stupid and crassly unobserv-
ant as to be able to confuse the iden-

stant. What though they did resemble
each other in form and feature? The
likeness went no deeper; below the
surface, and rising through it with
every word and look and gesture, lay
worldwide gulf of difference in
every shade of thought, feeling, and
instinct.
She herself could never again be de-
ceived-no, never! Not for a second
could she mistake the one for the
other. What were they saying
The turmoil of her Indignation sub
sided as she listened, breathlessly, to
Maitlands story of his adventures
and the JOY that leaped in her for his
frank mendacity in suppressing every
incident that involved her, was all but
overpowering. She could have wept
for sheer happiness; and at a later
time she would; but not now, when
everything depended on her maintain

but mistress of her thoughts and ac-

into a chair bending an ear attentive
to the war of words being waged in
the room beyond the portieres.
At first, however, she failed to grasp
the import of the alteration. And
when in time she understood its trend,
it was with ineredulity, resentment,
and a dawning dread lest a worse
thing might yet befall her, worse by
far than aught that had gone before.
But to be deprived of his protection,
to feel herself foreibly restrained from
the shelter of his generous care!
A moment gone she had been SO
sure that all would now be well with
her. once Maitland succeeded in rid

shut the door and-and then she would
come forth and tell him, tell him

The door was just closing behind

for mixing dough, pairing fruit, beating eggs,

deal of the work is done by hand. So rapidly
