CHAPTER Xl.-Continued.

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-
gether, ready to spring the instant the
vehicle paused in its headlong career
Through the cabby's misunderstood

the horse was refined In on its
launches some three houses distant
from the apartment building. Matt

avenue corner, and man, detaching
himself from the shadows of a neigh
boring doorway, began to trot loutish-
ly across the street, evidently with
the intention of intercepting Maitland
at the door.
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 a 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
Numbered blindly into the pitch dark

For a thought he stood bewildered

He had thought, somehow, to find the
gas jets flaring. The atmosphere was
hot and foul with the odor of kero

sounds and mysterious moving shapes
A granting gasp came to his ears, and
then the silence and the night alike
were split by a report, accompanied by
a streak of orange flame shooting
ceilingward from the middle of the
room.
Its light transient as it was, gave
him some inkling of the situation. I'm

generously replied with the prerent Of
her fathers wonderful jeweled dagger

this magnificent weapon in the affair

Ruthven. The judges of Jeanne dare
regarded with much suspicion her lit.
tie ring Of base metal, a gift from her
parents, inscribed with the sacred
names Jesus Maria.
1t was usual to touch the relics OF
saints with rings; Jeanne dare said
that her ring had touched the body of
st. Catherine, whether she meant of
the actual saint or relic of the saint,
brought from Sinai to Fierbois. The
ring might contain relic, or, later, a
miniature. I fear that do not believe

Hannibal to poison himself with a
drug contained under the stone of a

Exchanging Laws of Etiquette

1t is astonishing to see how little
the standard OF good manners seems
to have changed since the middle ages.
The strenuous life and the higher
education have not altered our concep-

IL they leave us little time for the
carrying out Of them, and the rules of
conduct upon which we have all been
brought up are in many respects the
