Mrs. Jack Frost's Experience as a
Chicken Raiser.

Being from the city, she thought she

all the BOOSTERS she sent them to her

But when Mrs. Jack Frost got back

chicken yard presented. 1t was moth

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, transfxed. Anisty drew him
self up, with a trace of pride in his
pose; smiled horribly; put a 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 a 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
sem led in excited conclave, blind to
all save the momentous fact of
Anisty's last, supremacy 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 it tenderly in both his
own, and SO held it for a space, brood
ing, marveling at its perfection. And
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 con-
scfous of the ineffab1e sweetness of
opening, wondering eyes.

Hickey awkwardly handed her the
glass. She slipped mechanically.
Il have a cab below continued
Maitland. "And I'll try to arrange it
SO that we can get out of the build
ing without having to force a way
through the crowd
She thanked him with a glance.
There's tn freight elevator" sug-
gested Hickey, helpfully.
Thank you Is there any
thing 1 can do for you, anything you
wish?" continued Maitland to the girl,
standing between her and the detec-
tive.
She lifted her face to his and shook
her head, very gently. NO. she
breathed through trembling lips. you
you've been But there was
sob in her throat, and she hung her
head again.
Not a word ordered Maitland.
'Sit here for a few minutes, if you
can, drink the water and-ah-fix up
your hat, you know" damn Hickeyi
Why the devil did the fellow insist on
hanging round SOD ''and will go and
make arrangements"
"Th-thank you," whispered the small
voice shakily.
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
there's uh gentleman-uh-yo fren'

Hickey took an impressive face to
the doorway, where, whether or not
with design, he stood precisely upon
the threshold, filling it 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

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.
Now, see here" he said quietly and
firmly, you must help me arrange to
get this lady away without her becom-
ing identified with the case. Hickey,
I'm in position to say a good word
for you in the right place; she had
positively nothing to do with Anisty,"
(this, so far as he could tell, was as
black a lie as he had ever manufac
tured under the lash of necessity,

inopportunely ubiquitous, numbering
hastily in from the other Office and
checking, in an extreme of embarrass-

Maitland glanced over his shoulder,
and, subduing desire to fay the
man alive, released the girls hand.
Il say, Hickey he observed, care
fully suppressing every vestige of
emotion, will you lend me a hand
here? Bring a chair, please, and a
glass of water
The detective stumbled over his
feet and brought the chair at the risk
of his neck Then he went away and
returned with the water In the
meantime the girl, silently enough for
all that her eyes were speaking, with
Maitland's assistance arose and seated
herself

urge of this wild adventure. Strange
that Anisty should have chosen it 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; Maitland's foot was
on the upper step, when a scream of
mortal terror-her voicei-broke from
within. Half maddened, he threw him
self bodily against the door, twisting
the knob with frantic fingers that
slipped upon it's 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. Bafned, helpless,
he fell back, tears of rage starting to

ears DIS lSIIlDiy pilliul DIS luS CRY VI d

and in desperation sent the pistol-butt
crashing against the glass. 1t was
tough, stubborn; the first blow scarce
| ly fawed it. AS he redoubled his eff
| forts to shatter it, Hickey's nand 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 clatter.

ture cast by a cinematograph in a

upon Maitland's field of vision the pic

drawn and tense, lips curled back,
/ eyes lurid with defiance and despair.
He stood, poised upon the balls of

| in the doorway between the inner and
| outer offices. He raised his hand with
an indescribably swift and vicious
/ gesture and a flame seemed to blaze
out from his fnger-tips.
