good, sound COOKING is to be had by
the initiate.
Therefore Bannerman thoughtfully
sucked at his cigar and thought
fondly of a salad that had been to
ordinary salads as his 80-horse-power
car was to an electric blackboard

purchase, idly fiicked the ash from his

Because of the heat the curtains
were Topped back, and there was moth.
ing to obstruct the view. Madison
square lay just over the sill, a dark
wilderness of foliage here and there
made livid green by arc lights. Its
walks teemed with humanity, its
benches were crowded. Dimly from
its heart came the cool FLASHING of the
fountain, in lulls that fell unaccount
ably in the roaring rustic of restless
feet. Over across, Broadway raised
glittering walls of glass and stone;
and thence came the poignant groan
ohu iuLuu lS VI surface cars crawling
upon their weary and unvarying
rounds.
And again Maitland thought of the
City, and of Destiny, and of the gray
girl the silhouette of whose hand was
imprisoned beneath the brass bowl on
his study desk. For by now he was
quite satisfied that she and none other
had trespassed upon the privacy of his
rooms, obtaining access to them in his
absence by means as unguessable as
her motive. Momentarily he consid-
cred taking Bannerman into his con-
fidence; but he questioned the adj
visibility of this. BanIerman was so
severely practical in his outlook upon
life, while this adventure had been
so madly whimsical, so engagingly
impossible. Bannerman would be sure
to suggest call at the precinct police
station. i. If she had made way
with anything, it would be different;
but so far as Maitland had been able
to determine, she had distracted moth
ing, disturbed nothing beyond a few
square inches of dust.
Unwillingly Bannerman put the
salad out of mind and turned to the
business whose immediate moment
had brought them together He

hummed softly calling his client to at
tention. Maitland came out of his
reverie, vaguely smiling.
I'm waiting, old man. What's up"
"The Graeme business. His lawyers
have been after me again. 1 even had
a call from the old man himself"
Eyes? The Graeme business?"
Maitlands expression was blank for a
moment; then comprehension informed
his eyes. ooh, yes; in connection with
the Dougherty investment swindle."
That's it. Graeme's pleading for
mercy"
Maitland lifted his shoulders sig
nificantly. THAT was to be expected,
wasn't it? What did you tell him?"
THAT I'd see you"
did you hold out to him any hopes
that I'd be easy on the gang?"
Il told him that 1 doubted If you
could be induced to let up"
Then why"
why, because Graeme himself is as
innocent of wrong doing and wrong in
tent as you are"
"You believe that?"
Il do" affirmed Bannerman. His
fat pink fingers drummed uneasily on
the cloth for a few moments. There
isn't any question that the Dougherty
people induced you to sink your money
in their enterprise with intent to de-
fraud you"
Il should think not" Maitland inter-
jected, amused.
But old man Graeme was honest,
in intention at least. He meant no
harm; and in proof of that he offers
to shoulder your loss himself, if by so
doing he can induce you to drop furth-
er proceedings. That proves he's in
earnest, Dan,. for although Greame is
comfortably well to do, it's a known
fact that the loss of a cool half million.
while it's a drop in the bucket to you,
would cripple him.
Then why doesn't he stand to his
associates, and make them each pay
back their fair share of the loot i?

"Well. seven, then. But will you

CHAPTER I.-Continued.

Further and closer inspection de-
veloped the fact that the imprint had
been only recently made. Within the
hour-unless Maitland were indeed
mad or dreaming-a woman had stood
by that desk and rested hand, palm
down, upon it; not yet had the dust
had time to settle and blur the sharp
outlines.
Maitland shook his head with be-
wilderment, thinking of the gray girl
But no. He rejected his half-formed
explanation-the obvious one. Besides,
what had he there worth a thiefs
while? Beyond a few articles Of
virtue and bigotry" and his pictures,
there was nothing valuable in the en-
tire fiat. His papers? But he had
nothing; handful of letters, cheque
book, pass book, japanned tin dis
patch box containing some business
memoranda and papers destined event
ually for Bannerman's hands; but
nothing negotiable, nothing worth a
burglars while.
1t was flat-topped desk, of mahog-
any, with two pedestals of drawers, all
locked. Maitland determined this lat
ter fact by trying to open them with
out key; failing, his key-ring solved
the difficulty in jiffy. But the draw
ers seemed undisturbed nothing had
been either handled, or removed, or
displaced, so far as he could deter
mine. And again he wagged his head
from side to side in solemn stupefac-
ton.
This is beyond you, Dan, my boy"
And: But I've got to know what it
means"
In the hall O'Hagan was shutting
impatience. Pondering deeply, Matt
land relocked the desk and got upon
his feet. A small bowl of beaten brass,
which he used as an ash receiver,
stood ready to his hand; he took it up,
carefully blew it clean of dust, and
inverted it over the print of the hand.
On top of the bowl he placed a
weighty afterthought in the shape of
book
"O'Hagan!"
'Waitin', sor"
Come hither, O'Hagan. You see
that desk?"
, "Yissor."
"Are you sure?"
'Ah, faith"
