But, allowing that Maitland's actions
had been based upon motives vague to
the burglars understanding, 1t was
quite in the scheme of possibilities
that he should have arranged to meet
his protegee at the restaurant that
afternoon. She was come to keep an
appointment to which (now that An
isty came to remember) Maitland had
alluded in the beginning of their con-

Illumination.

In q breath was self-satisfaction
banished; simultaneously the masque-
raider brought his gaze down from the
ceiling, his thoughts to earth, his vigil
lance to the surface, and himself to his
feet, summoning to his aid all that he
possessed of resource and expedient.
Trapped!-the word blazed mean

foreseen and planned against this very
moment.
Yet panic swayed him for but a lit

shocked, shade more pale, but rapid
ly reasserting control of his faculties.
And with this shade of emotion came
complete reinsurance.
His name had been uttered In no
stern or menacing tone; rather its
syllables had been pitched in a low
and guarded key, with an undernote
of raillery and cordially. In brief, the
moment that he recognized the voice
as woman's, he was again master of
himself, and, aware that the result of
his instructive impulse to rise and de-
fend himself, which had brought him
to standing position, would be in
terpreted as only the natural action of
gentleman addressed by a feminine
acquaintance, he was confident that
he had not betrayed his primal con-
sternation. He bowed, smiled, and

a good deal, off and on, and always
glad to see friend"
At another time, and with another
man, Anisty would not have ventured
to play his catch so roughly; but, as
he had reckoned, the comfortable state
OF mind induced by an unexpected ad-
dition to his income and a quart of
champagne, had dulled the official ap-
prehensions of Sergt Hickey.
Mumbling vague acceptance of the
too-genial invitation, the exalted de-
tective rose and ambled cheerfully
down the room and out of the door.
Anisty lit another cigarette and
contemplated the future with satisfac-
ton. AS diplomat he was inclined to
held himself a success. Indeed. all
things taken under mature considera-
ton, the conclusion was inevitable that
he was the very devil of fellow. With
what consummate skill he had played
his hand! Now the pursuit of the
Maitland burglar would be abandoned;
the news item suppressed at headquar-
tiers. And it was equally certain that
Maitland (when eventually liberated)
would be at pains to keep his part of
the affair very much in shadow.
The masquerader ventured a mys-
ttcal smile at the world in general.

infatuated detective should find it con-
venient to drop in on the exclusive

At sight of him the thief was con-
