hind forced Maitland pell-mell into the
room. AS he recovered he saw Hickey
hurting himself at the criminals throat
-one second too late. True to his
pledge never to be taken alive, Anisty
had sent his last bullet crashing
through his own skull.
A cry of horror and CONSERVATION
forced itself from Maitland's throat.
The police halted, each where he
stood, transfixed. Anisty drew him
self up, with a trace CT pride In his
pose; smiled horribly; put hand
mechanically to his lips
And died.
Hickey caught him as he fell, but
Maitland, unheeding, leaped over the
body that had in life resembled him
so fatally, and entered Bannerman's
private Office.
The gray girl lay at length In a
corner of the room, shielded from OBJ
servation by one of the desks. Her
eyes were closed, her cheeks wore the
hue of death; the fair young head was
pillowed on one white and rounded
forearm, in an attitude of natural rest,
and the FURNISHED hair, its heavy coils
slipping from their fastenings, tum-
bled over her head and shoulders in
shimmering glory, like splash of liv-
ing flame.
With low and bitter cry the young
men dropped to his knees by her side
In the outer Office the police were as
sembled in excited conclave, blind to
all save the momentous fact of
Anisty's last, supremely consistent act.
For the time Maitland was utterly
alone with his great and aching lone
Illness.
After a little while timidly he
touched her hand. 1t lay upturned,
white slender fingers like exotic petals
curling in upon the rosy hollow of her
palm. And it was soft and warm.
He lifted 1t tenderly in both his
own, and so held 1t for a space, brood
ing, marveling at its perfection. Ard
inevitably he bent and touched it with
his lips, as If their ardent contact
would warm it to sentence
The fingers frightened upon his own,
slowly surely; and in the binding Joy
OF that moment he was made son-
scious of the ineffable sweetness of
opening, wondering eyes.

urge of this wild adventure. Strange
that Anisty should have chosen 1t for
the scene of his last stand-strange,
and strangely fatal for the criminal!
For Maitland knew that from this
eyrie there was no means of escape,
other than by the stairs.
Well and good! Then they had the
man, and
The thought was flashing in his
mind, illumining the darkness of his
despair with the hope that he would
be able to force a word as to the girls
whereabouts from the burglar ere the
police arrived; Maitlands foot was
on the upper step, when a scream Of
mortal terror-her voice!-broke from
within. Half maddened, he threw him
self bodily against the door, twisting
the knob with frantic fingers that
slipped upon its immovable polished
surface.
The bolt had been shot, he was
barred out, and, with only the width of
a mans hand between them, the girl
was in deathly peril and terror.
A sob that was at the same time an
oath rose to his lips. Baffled, helpless,
he fell back, tears of rage starting to
his eyes, her accents ringing in his
ears as terribly pitiful as the cry of a
lost and wandering soul.
Cod" he mumbled incoherently,
and in desperation sent the pistol-butt
crashing against the glass. 1t was
tough, stubborn; the first blow scarce.
ly f!awed it. AS he redoubled his eff
forts to shatter it, Hickey's hand shot
over his shoulder to aid him.
And with startling abruptness the
barrier seemed to dissolve before their
eyes, the glass falling inward with
a shrill clattcr.
Quantity, with the effect of pic
ture cast by a cinematograph in a
darkened auditorium. there leaped
upon Maitland's field of vision the pic
ture of Anisty standing at bay, face
drawn and tense, lips curled back
eyes lurid with defiance and despair
He stood, poised upon the balls OF
his feet. like a cat ready to spring,
in the doorway between the inner and
outer Offices. He raised his hand with
an indescribably swift and vicious
gesture, and flame seemed to blaze
out from his finger-tips.
At the same instant Hickey's weapon
spat by Maitland's cheek; the young
man felt the hot furnace breath of 1t.
The burglar reeled as though from
a tremendous blow. His inflamed fea-
lures were suddenly whitened, and his
right arm dropped Imply from the
shoulder, revolver falling from fingers
Involuntary relaxing.
Hickey covered him. Surrender"
he roared. And fired again. For
Anisty had gone to his knees, reach
ing for the revolver with his unin-
jured arm.
The detectives second bullet wingee
through the doorway, over Anisty's
head, and bit through the outer win
dow. AS Anisty, with tremendous
strain upon his failing powers, strug.

murderous CLEAN in the mans eye.

as Maitland's. Both went wide of their
marks.
And of a sudden Hickey had drawn
the bolt, and the body OF police be.

Hickey awkwardly handed her the
glass. She slipped mechanically.
Il have a cab below" continued
Maitland. "And I'll try to arrange 1t
so that we can get out of the build
ing without having to force way
through the crowd"
She thanked him with a glance.

gested Hickey, helpfully.

standing between her and the detec-

her head, very gently. NO" she

sob in her throat, and she hung her

"Sit here for a few minutes, if you

Why the devil did the fellow insist on
hanging round SOD and l will go and

"Th-thank you," whispered the small
voice shalkily.
Maitland hesitated a moment, then
turned upon Hickey in sudden exas-
peration. His manner was enough;
even the obtuse detective could not
ignore it. Maitland had no need to
speak.
I'm sorry, sir" he said, standing
his ground manfully but with a trace
more of respect in his manner than
had heretofore characterized it, but

Hickey took an impassive face to
the doorway, where, whether or not
with design, he stood precisely upon
the threshold, filing 1t with his burly
shoulders. Maitland bent again over
the girl, and took her hand.
Dearest" he said, gently. please
don't run away from me again"
Her eyes were trimming, and he
read his answer In them. Quickly-it
was no time to harry her emotions
further; but so much he had felt he
must say-he brushed her hand with
his lips and joined Hickey. Thrust
ing the detective gently into the outer
room. with a not unfriendly hand
upon his shoulder, Maitland closed the
door.

firmly. you must help me arrange to

Complete Cure by Cuticura.

About fifteen or eighteen years
ago eczema developed on top of my
hand. 1t burned and itched so much
that I was compelled to show it to a
doctor. He pronounced it ringworm.
After trying his different remedies the
disease increased and went up my
arms and to my legs and finally on my
face. The burning was something
terrible. l went to another doctor who
had the reputation Of being the best
in town. He told me it was eczema.
His medicine checked the advance of
the disease but no further. l finally
concluded to try the Cuticura Rene
dies and found relief in the first trial.

cured from the disease, and l have

PAINT FAULTS.

1t is common occurrence nova
days to hear man remark with dis
gust: 1T is impossible to have good
painting done these days; either the
paint is not good or there are no good
painters This, however, is not true.
There is good paint, and there are
good painters. But the question is,
bringing them together.
One cannot expect a satisfactory
painting job without pure white lead.
There is a way to make sure you are
getting pure white lead without test
ing it. See that the keg bears Ma
tional Lead Company's famous Dutch
Boy Painter trademark, which is a
positive guarantee of purity. However,
anyone can test white lead. National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg,
New York City, will send you a lead
tester and painters outfit, consisting

tions, ETC., upon request.

They Didn't Have to Change.

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been a great hurrying and
scurrying on the part of the food man
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is a con-
spicuous exception. It was admitted
that Quaker Scotch Oats was as pure
and clean as possible and that it was
an ideal food.
1t is so cheap that any one can af-
ford it and so nourishing that every.
one needs it. The result of last years
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Scotch Oats has been adopted
by many persons as their food on
which they rely for adding vigor and
endurance of muscle and brain
This splendid food is packed in the

ically sealed tins. The latter espe.

The dull silence that hung over that

into the cities. Now, by telephone and

sthe country and are vitalizing the ru-
raj community into life that is rich
