SYNOPSIS.

Mad" Dan Maitland, on reaching his
New York bachelor club met an attrac-
tive young woman at the door. Janftor
OHagan 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 Bannerman, his at
forney. Dan set out for Greenfelds, 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 it. 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 well-known crook, Daniel
A.nisty. -hypnotized, Maitland opened
his safe, took therefrom the jewels, and
gave them to her, first forming part

BILE, masqueraded as the latter. The
criminal kept Maitland's engagement with
the girl In gray. He gave her the gems,
after falling in love at first sight. They
were to meet and divide the loot. Matt

In the cab, Maitland turning to
watch through the rear peep-hole, was
thrown violently against the side as
the hanson rocked on one wheel into
his street. Recovering, he seized the
dashboard and gathered himself to.

vehicle paused in its headlong career

picked himself up, shouting: You'll
waltz to the driver, and sprinted
madly the few yards separating him
from his own front door, keys ready in
hand
Simultaneously the half-winded DO
Iiceman numbered around the Fifth
avenue corner, and a man, detaching
himself from the shadows of a neigh
boring doorway, began to trot loutish-
ly across the street, evidently with

He was hardly quick enough. Matt
land did not even see him. The door
slammed in the mans face, and he,
painting harshly, raped out an i'm
precation and began a frantic assault
on the push-button marked "Janitor."
AS for Maitland, he was taking the
stairs three at clip, and had his pass
key in the latch almost as soon as his
feet touched the first landing. An in
slant later he thrust the door open and
blundered blindly into the pitch dark
ness of his study.
For thought he stood bewildered
and dismayed by the absence of light.
He had thought, somehow, to find the
gas jets flaring. The atmosphere was
hot and foul with the odor Of kero-
sene, the blacl1ness filled with strange
sounds and mysterious moving shapes.
A grunting gasp came to his ears, and
then the silence and the night alike
were split by report, accompanied by
a streak Of orange fame shooting
ceilingward from the middle of the
room.
Its light transient as it was, gave
him some inkling of the situation. I'm
thinkingly he flung himself forward
ready to grapple with that which first
should meet his hands. Something
soft and yielding brushed against his
shoulder, and subconsciously, in the
auto-hypnosis of his excitement, he
was aware of mans voice cursing
and woman's cry of triumph trailing
off into wall of pain.
On the instant he found himself al

taking the revolver from her fingers.
Below, O'Hagan was parleying
through the closed door with the late
callers. Maitland could have blessed
his hot-headed Irish stupidity for the
delay he was causing.
Already Anisty was on his feet
again, blind with rage and crouching
as if ready to spring, only restrained
by the sight of his own revolver.

hand.
For the least part of a second the
young man hesitated, choosing his
way. Then, resolved, in accents of
determination; Stand up, you hound!"
he cried. Back to the wall there,'
and thrust the weapon under the burg
lars nose.
The move gained instant obedience
Mr. Anisty could not reasonably hest
tate in the face of such odds.
"And you" Maitland continued over
his shoulder to the girl without remov-
ing his attention from the burglar, into
the alcove there, at once! And not

She gave him one frightened and
piteous glance, then, unquestioning,
slipped quietly behind the portieres.
To Anisty, again: Turn your peck

Quick, you fool! The police are be-

Anisty's hands flew to his pockets,
emptying their contents on the floor.

By this time even the policeman
seemed doubtful. He glanced askanee
at the detective and shuffled uneasily
AS for the cabby, who had clustered
in at first with intent to demand his
due in no uncertain terms apparently
Maitland's bearing, coupled with the
inherent contempt and hatred of the
nighthawk tribe for the minions of the
law, had won his sympathies complete
ly. Lounging against a door-jamb,
quite at home, he genially pulled an
unspeakable cigarette and nodded ap-
probation of Maitland's every other
word.

THE COMING PLAY.

In anticipation of the coming of Miss Petticoats" to the New Milford Opera house, Thursday evening, April 1, under the auspices of Good Snepnerd lodge, No. 6j, l. o. 0. r., it is interesting to note the reviews of the production which were given it's premier performance, when it played very successful two weeks at the massive Boston Theatre to very large audiences. The Boston Post says: Miss Petticoats," a dramatization by George T. Richard son of Dwight Tilton's novel of the same name, was presented for the first time in this city last evening at the Boston theatre. MT Richardson has preserved many of the most sal tent features, and mas evolved a drama that suggests in some degree those of the uncle Terry" type, where the heroine has been reared from childhood by sea-faring character. The story of Agatha Renier,s who, brought up by Captain Joel Stewart, her grandfather in New Bedford, after seeing more of life as companion to Mrs Sarah Cope land, and later becoming Countess Fornay through her father, titled Frenchman, furnishes many episodes. some intensely pathetic, others more of comedy nature, yet all so well connected that interest never lags. although the happy ending of it all can readily Dc guessed. The firale of act three, when Aga tha is unjust ly accused of grevious ;wrong-loing. is worked up to excellent advantage. The fourth act, showing how the heroine gets the better of the villain in deal of stocks, makes a fine eli max, which leads naturally to the closing scene. The sailors dance in the ballroom scene is one of the best among the comedy hits. While some of the lines border on the convention al, there is but little - any portion of the text that is not plain, in easy style, pleasing and easily compre- hended.
