SYNOPSIS.

Mad Dan Maitland on reaching his

along with a letter from his attorney

get his family jewels. During his walk
TO the country seat, he met the young
woman in gray, whom he had seon leav-
Ing his bachelors club. Her auto had
broken down. He fixed It. BY ruse she
lost him. Maitland, on reaching home,
surprised lady in gray, cracking the safe
took him for a wel-known crook. Daniel

his safe, took therefrom the jewels, and
gave them to her, first forming a part

on the same mission. Maitland overcame
him. He met the girl outside the house
and they sped on TO New York in her au-

detective. To shield the girl in gray,
Maitland, about TO show him the jew

from "Snaith's" cane. The latter proved
gems. Anisty, who was Maitland's dou-
Bile. masqueraded as the latter. The
criminal kept Maitland's engagement with
the girl In gray. He gave her the gems,
after falling in love at first sight. They

But in the meantime the Panama
Canal will have been opened, and the
efficiency OF the American navy al

without serious delay.
A writer signing himself "Navarch"
emphasizes. in an article on 1.-THE Dis
position of Our Fighting Fleet" in the
Columbian Magazine. the importance
Of the new naval stations in the Pa
cific. He speaks particularly of Pearl
Harbor at Hawaii where a naval base
is now being established, and of the
dry dock Dewey at Olongapo. sixty
miles from Manila.
THE protection of our Atlantic
coast" he says. Ties in feet based
on Guantanamo, and the protection Of
the Pacific coast lies in a fleet based
on Pearl Harbor. Both Guantanamo
and Pearl Harbor are ideally situated
in their respective spheres. The form
er is centrally located with reference
to the Panama Canal and our Atlantic
coast. and fleet based there would
command all the avenues toward the
canal. Hawaii stands in the Pacific
as our outpost, and no power could
successfully approach our Pacific
coast without taking it and meeting
VIGOROUSLY the strong feet which we
would maintain there"

North Carolina Bear Hunts.

Jones county farmers are making q
regular campaign against the bears,
which are giving hog raisers no end
of trouble. A year ago some Of the
farmers bought a couple Of bear dogs,
from which they have raised pack.
Almost daily hunts have been con-
Quoted. and the nine hounds have
never failed to get bear.
Recently there was hunt on Mil
creek, In which twoscore men partici-
pated, and these were delighted to see
the skilful way in which the dogs
handled the bear, the latter. true to
his fighting style, sitting upon his
launches and fighting. Henry oliver
finished the bear with bullet. The
leading bear hunters are V. A and w.
H. Bender, who are the owners of the
pack. In that section there are many
small swamps, with thick growth of
bay and other trees, in which bears
and deer take refuge. II is a capital

rhsLaIra's Pictures.

Some years ago Scotch laird found
on succeeding to his estates that the
house contained two portraits of dis
tinglishsd member of the family who
had fiourished during the reign of
George III, one by Reynolds and the
other by Rasburn. He knew no more
Of pictures than Newfoundland dog,
and he decided that two portraits Of
the same individual need not be kept.
The Reynolds was retained, while the
Raeburn was presented to a public
gallery. The worthy man was struck
with CONSERVATION some time afterward
when he found that his gift had been
valued at $4,000 and probably the
picture would now fetch double that
amount

Immense Electric Machlne.

The largest static electric machine

physician. and is six feet high over all,
seven feet long and four feet wide,

which 20 revolve, while the others re-
main stationary. 1t is driven by an
electric motor of one-fourth horse
power, being first excited by a small

CHAPTER VIII.-contInued.

Very good, sor." The janitor-valet
had previous experiences with Matt
lands generosity in grateful memory;
and shut his lips tightly in promise
Of virtuous reticence.
You won't regret IT, Now tell me
what you mean by saying that you saw
me go out at one this afternoon?"
Again the flood gates were lifted !;
from the deluge of explanations and
protestations Maitland extracted the
general drift of narrative. And in the
end held up his hand for silence.
Il think understand, now. You say
he had changed to my gray suit?"
O'Hagan darted into the bedroom,
whence he emerged with confirmation
Of his statement.
"'Tis gone, sor, an"
"All right. But" with a rueful smile,
'I'n take the liberty of countermand-
ing Mr.. Snaith's order. If he should
call again. O'Hagan, very much want
TO see him."
Faith, and It's mesilf will have a
worrud or two to whisper in the ear

grimly.
I'm afraid the opportunity viii be
lacking. You may fix me hot bath
now, O'Hagan, and put out my even
ing clothes. I'll dine at the club to-
night and may not be back"
And, rising, Maitland approached a
mirror; before which he fingered for
several minutes, cataloguing his in
Juries. Taken altogether, they
amounted to little. The swelling of

Seven p. m.
"Time," said the short and thick.set
man casually, addressing no one in
particular.
He shut the lid of his watch with a
snap and returned the timepiece to
his waistcoat pocket. simultaneously
he surveyed both sides of the short
block between Seventh and st. Mich
olas avenues with one comprehensive
glance.
Presumably he saw nothing of inter-
est to him. 1t was not a particularly
interesting block, for that matter.
though somewhat typical of the neigh
borhood. The north side was lined
with five-story fiat buildings, their
dingy-red brick facades regularly
broken by equally dingy brownstone
stoops, as to the ground floor, by open
windows as to those above. The south
side was mostly taken up by a tow
ering white apartment hotel with an
ostentatious entrance; against one Of
whose polished stone pillars the short
and thick-set man vas lounging.
The sidewalks, north and south,
swarmed with children of assorted
ages, playing with the ferocious en-
ergy characteristic of the young Of
Harlem; their blood-curdling cries and
premature Fourth-of-July fireworks
created an appalling din, to which,
however. the more mature denizens
had apparently become callous, through
long endurance.
Beyond the party-colored lights of a
drug store window on Seventh avenue,
the electric arcs were casting a sickly
radiance upon the dusty leaves Of the
tree-lined drive. The avenue itself
was crowded with motor cars and
horse-drawn pleasure vehicles, mostly
bound uptown, their occupants seeking
the cooler airs and wider spaces to be
found beyond the Harlem river and
along the Speedway A few blocks to
the west Cathedral heights bulked like
a great wall, wrapped in purple shad-
ows, its jagged contour stark against
an evening sky of suave old rose.
The short and thick-set body, how
ever, seemed to have no particular ap-
probation of the beauties of nature as
exhibited by West One Hundred and
Eighteenth street on a summers even
ing. If anything, he could apparently
have desired a cooling breeze; for,
after a moments doubtful considera-
ton, he unbuttoned his waistcoat and
heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, carefully shifting the butt Of
dead cigar from one corner Of his
mouth to the other. where It was al
most hidden by the jutting thatch Of
his black mustache, and drawing down
over his eyes the brim Of a rusty plug
hat. he thrust fat hands into the peck
cts of his shabby trousers and Iounged
against the polished pillar even more

Not until the rich and mellow chime
had merged into the stiffness did the
intruder dare again draw breath. Com
