An a~stonished horse, reused from a
droop~eared lethargy. was yanked al
moot by main strength out of the cab
rank and into the middle of the ave-
nue.. Before he could recover, the long
whip-lash had leaped out over the roof
of the vehicle, and he found himself
stretching away up the venue on a
dead run
Yet to Maitland the pace seemed
deadly slow, He fdgeted on the seat
In an agony of impatience. a dozen
times feeling in his waistcoat pocket
for his iatch-keys. They were there,
and his fingers ltched to use them.
by the lights streaking past he knew
that their pace was furious, and was
haunted by a fear lest 1t hould bring

llcelnan. startled by the uproar,
emerged hastily from the slelterins
gloom of a store entrance, shouted
after the cabby an in~articulate ques-
ton, and. getting no response, UNI
sheathed his night-stick and loped up
the avenue IN pursuit, making the
locust sing upon the pavement at every
Jump.
In the cab, Maitland, turning to
watch through the rear peep-hole, was
thrown violently against the side as
the hanson rocketed on one wheel into
his street. Recovering, he seized the

himself SPRAYING on his hands and
knees on the sidewalk, picked himself
up. shouting you'll waltz to the
driver, and sprinted inadly the few
yards separating him from his own
front door, keys ready in hand.
simultaneously the half-winded po-
uceman numbered around the Firth
avenue corner, and a man, detaching
himself from the shadows OF a neigh
boring doorway, began to trot loutishly
across the street, evidently With the
intention of intercepting Maitland at
the door.
He was hardly quick enough. Matt
land did not even see him. The door
slammed in the mans face, and he,
painting hars1ly, raped out an I'M

on the push button marked 'Janitor.'

stairs three Mt a clip, and had his pass
key in the latch almost as soon as his
feet touched the first landing. An In
