SYNOPSIS.

MAD" Dan Maitland, on reaching his
New York bachelor club, met an attrac-
tive young woman at the door. Janitor
O'Hagan 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
torney. Dan set out for Greentields, to

SuppIanting the Elephant and Howdah
with Princes of India.

No preparations have now to be
made when the news of tiger roam
ing in a jungle is brought. Petrol,
and not howdah, is the thing to be
cared for. A few minutes drive
brings the hunter and the tiger face
to face with each other.
News came in the other day Of a
tiger roaming on the banks of the
Sindh near Uchar, village some IA
miles from Data City. The mahara-
jah accordingly motored out to the
village with his staff on the thirteenth.
That day was devoted simply to OBJ.
serving the movements of the tiger.
A goat was tied up and was duly slain
by the tiger, who, making for the
river bed and placing his prey on the
sand close to the water, entered the
cool pool and bathed and gamboled for
some time. Having thoroughly en-
joyed himself, he came out, and after
feasting in the clear moonlight took
his way back to the jungle.
Next day the maharajah sat up for
the tiger. The beast returned to his
feed, and had just caught the goat
by the right ear when the maharajah
fired, hitting the tiger in the head, the
first bullet proving fatal. The tiger
rolled over on the ground, with the
goat held fast In his jaws.
Early in the morning the maharajah
returned in his motor car with the
dead tiger placed in the rear seat, tho
goat still hanging in the tigers mouth.
So fast was the grip that the goat did
not fall down, though the motor was
run at full speed. 1t was very
strange sight to see the slayer and the

And with startling abruptness the
barrier seemed to dissolve before their
eyes, the glass falling inward with
a shrill clatter.
Quantity, with the effect of a pic
ture cast by 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 Maitlands cheek; the young
man felt the hot furnace breath of it.
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

CHAPTER XX.-Continued.

Maitland, yielding the initiative to
the others superior generalship, stood
sentinel, revolver in hand, until the
detective returned, overheated and
sweating, from his tour, to report
"nothin' doin'," with characteristic
brevity. He had the same report to
make on both the twentieth and twen-
ty-first floors, where the same pro-
cedure was observed; but as the latter
was reached unexpected and very well
come reinforcements were gained by
the arrival of a third car, containing
three patrolmen and one roundsman.
Yet numbers created delay; Hickey
was seized and compelled to pant eX-
plantations, to his supreme disgust.
And, suddenly impatient beyond en-
durance, Maitland left them and alone
sprang up the stairs.
That this was simple foolhardiness
may be granted without dispute. But
1t must be borne in mind that he was
very young and ardent very greatly
perturbed on behalf of an actor in
the tragedy in whom the police, to
their then knowledge, had no interest
whatsoever. And if in the heat Of
chase he had for an instant forgotten
her, now he remembered; and at once
the capture of Anisty was relegated
to the status of matter of secondary
importance. The real matter at stake
was the safety of the girl whom
Anisty, by exercise of an Internal in
genuity that passed Maitland's COM
prehension, had managed to spirit into
this place of death and darkness and
whispering halls. Where she might
be, in what degree of suffering and
danger@these were the considerations
that sent hm in search of her without
thought of personal peril, but with a
sick heart and overwhelmed with a
sitting sense of anxiety.
More active than the paunchbur-
dened detective, he had sprinted down
and back through the hallway of the
twenty-second floor, without discover
ing anything, ere the police contingent
had reached an agreement and the
stairhead.
There remained two more floors, two
final flights. A little hopelessly he
swung up the first. And as he did so
the blackness above him was riven by
tongue of fire, and bullet, singing
past his head, fattened itself with a
vicious spat against the marble dado
of the walls. Instinctively he pulled
up, finger closing upon the trigger of
his revolver: flash and report fol-
lowed the motion, and a panel OF

ribbed glass In a door overhead was
splintered and fell in clashing frag-
ments, all but drowning the sound Of
feet in fight upon the upper staircase.
A clamor of caution, warning, en-
couragement, and advice broke out
from the police below. But Maitland
hardly heard. Already he was again
in pursuit, taking the, steps two at a
leap. With a hand upon the newell
post he swung round on the twenty
third floor, and hurled himself toward
the foot of the last flight. A crash
like a rifle-shot rang out above, and
for second he fancied that Anisty
had fired again and with heavier
weapon. But Immediately he realized
that the noise had been only the slam
ming of the door at the head of the
stairs-the door whose glazed panel
loomed above him, shedding diffused
light to guide his footsteps, its opales-
cent surface lettered with the name of
HENRY M. BANNERMAN,
Attorney & Counselor-at-Law,

he had so often crossed to meet a

urge Of this wild adventure. Strange
that Apicty cbould boya cbncop II 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 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 tc
his eyes, her accents ringing in his
ears as terribly pitiful as the cry of g
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 fawed it. AS he redoubled his eff
forts to shatter it, Hickey's hand sho
