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 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 Greenfields, to
get his family jewels. Maitland, on
reaching home. surprised lady in gray,
cracking the safe containing his gems.
She, apparently, took him for we'll
known crook, Daniel Anisty. Half-hyp-
Noticed, Maitland opened his safe, took
therefrom the jewels. and gave them to
her, first forming a partnership in crime.
The real Dan Anisty sought by police OF
him. He and the girl went to New York
in her auto. He had the, jewels. She
was to meet him that day. Mr..
Snath" introduced himself as detec-
tive To shield the girl in gray, Maitland,
about to show him the jewels, supposedly
lost, was felled by a blow from .'Snaith's"
cane. The latter proved to be Anisty
himself and he secured the gems. Anisty
who was Maitlands double. masqueraded
as the latter. The criminal kept Matt
lands engagement with the girl in gray
He gave her the, gems. The girl In gray

absence and returned gems. Maitland

later, by working ruse, Anisty was at
her side. He took her to Attorney Ban

tried in vain to wiring from her the loca-
ton of the gems. He left her moment
and she 'phoned OHagan only getting in
the words: Tell Mr. Maitland under the
brass bowl" the hiding place in the lat
ter'S rooms, when Anisty heard her
words. Bannerman also was revealed as
q crook. He and Anisty set out to secure
the gems and leave town. The girl was
still Imprisoned. Maitland finding the girl
gone, searched his rooms and unearthed
the jewels under the brass bowl. He
struck Anistys trail in a big office build

own hook-just to have a look around,
he said. And so so the fat
was in the fire."
Don't talk any more, Bannermas,"
Maitland tried to soothe him. You'll
pull through this all right, and You
need never have gone to such lengths.
If you'd come to me-"
The ghost of a sardonic smile fitted,
anonymously, across the dying mans
waXen, cherubic features.
"Oh, hell" he said; you wouldn't
understand. Perhaps you weren't born
with the right crook in your nature
or the wrong one. Perhaps it's be-
cause you can't see the fun in playing
the game, It's that that counts"
He compressed his lips, and after a
moment spoke again. You never did
have the true sportsman's love of the
game for its own sake. You're like
most of the rest of the crowd-content
with mighty cheap virtue, Dan.

while it lasted. Good-by, old man"
He did not speak again, but lay with
closed eyes.
Five minutes later Maitland rose
and unclasped the cold fingers from
about his own. With heavy sigh he
turned away.
At the door Hickey was awaiting
him. "Yer lady," he said, as soon as
they had drawn apart from the crowd,

stairs. She was gettin' bit high

her away. Oh, she's waitin'
all right" he added, alarmed by Matt
| lands expression. But Maitland had
left him abruptly; and now, as he ran
down flight after echoing fight of
marble stairs, there rested cold fear
in his heart In the room he had just
quilted, a man whom he had called
friend and looked upon with affection
ate regard, had died a self-confessed
and unrepeptant liar and thief.
If now he were to find the girl an
other time vanished-if this had been
but a ruse of hers finally to elude him

women faithless-if he had indeed

TRIBE HAS WATER WEDDINGS.
Hop Marriage Ceremony Consists Of
Washing the Head.

Marriage among the Hopi, tribe Of
the Pueblo Indians, is an institution re-
garding which those most concerned
have least to say. When the parents
of girl find it expedient for her to
get married they look up an available
man and negotiate with his parents.
After the matter has been arranged
the principals are notified, the girl
goes to the home of the bridegroom
parents and grinds corn for them for
three weeks, while the bridegroom
makes a kind of sash for the bride.
Then one morning at sunrise they
both bathe their heads in cold water,
which completes the ceremony.
There have been instances of the
bridegroom refusing to go through the
performance, says writer in outing
It has then proceeded without him
and been accounted valid, and several
weeks later he has yielded and had
his head bathed.
The Navajo ceremony Is much more
elaborate and impressive, but then the
Navajo girls are much nicer. The reg
ulaT tariff on a Navajo girl entering
the port of matrimony for the first
time is 12 horses. On the second oc-
casion the tax is nine horses, while
subsequent marriages are free.
This is not purchase money, but is
merely tribute of respect to a moth
er-in-law and a token of appreciation
of the care and expense involved in
bearing and rearing the lady, recog
milton not unworthy of consideration
by civilized bridegrooms. On the 9th
er hand, and deserving OF great con-
|demnation, is that law of many tribes,
unwritten but Of much sanctity, that
man and his mother-in-law shall
never meet after the ceremony.

"Ah-h, Maitland" he gasped;

Racked with sorrow, nothing guess,

lawyer to this pass, Maitland slipped
into chair by the head of the couch
and closed his hand over Bannerman' S
chubby, icy fingers.
Poor, poor old chap!" he said,
brokenly. How in Heaven"
But at Bannerman's look the words
died on his lips. The lawyer moved
restlessly. Don't pity me-" he said
in low tone. "This is what l might

herself with hand against the win

no words, from this eloquent silence
she drew an inference unjustified, such
as lovers are prone to draw, the world

MYSTERIOUS FIRE
 AT RED BAY
Residence and Barn of Dr. Cope land Is Reduced to Ashes
 Tuesday

Red Bay, November S.-tSpeciaD.--A cloud of mystery surrounds the burning of Dr. Oscar Copeland's residence ana barn. Late yesterday afternoon 1t was discovered that the barn was on lire and while a number of spectators were watching the fire and trying to prevent the flames from reaching the residence only a few yards away, two pistol shots were heard on another plantation be- longing to Copeland, where smoke was seen to arise and when the scene was reached it was found to be the residence and barn on fire.
 Owing to the fact that both fires were created about the same time and being only about one-half mile apart 1t IS strongly believed that some one did the burning. It has not been very long since the doctors mill was burned.
 When interviewed today by your cor respondent to make statement concern ing the burning, Copeland intimated that he had some suspicion as to who lle thought were the guilty parties, but gave no names. He said that he thought certain parties wanted to make a wilder ness in that part of the country as tho mill and buildings were near each other pr. Copeland is conceded by all to be the wealthiest and greatest land holder in this part of the country. Owing to The fact that he has residences for miles around, people are considerably disturb

AT TER 40 MAN IS
 WITHOUT POSITION
Marked Discrimination Against Aged Through
 out the World

Washington, November S.--That a man cannot get new position after he Is 4o years of age was asserted at the em- plovers liability and workmens compen- sation commission meeting today by Ar thur E. Holder of the American Federa- ton of Labor. He had been speaking on the satisfactory operation of the British conpensation act of 1906 which recently he had investigated.
 Mr. Holder said that regardless Of this law there was a marked discrimination against the aged, not in Great Britain alone but throughout the industrial world.
 'The man who is over 40 and who has a few gray hairs can not get back when he once loses his job, but he can hold on if he has a place." he said 'Tt is the same here that it is in England, and 1t Is the same in Germany and throughout the continent
 This condition was not due to any leg isiation but was the result of economic conditions and came of the determination to get the greatest possible product out of the human being employed by others, MT. Holder said.
 With reference to the extent of the com pensation for death or injuries. MT. Hold CT said he thought the law should grant all that the traffic will bear"
 He declared no death benefits should be less than 5000 and that no injury awards less than s1 a day regardless of the ordinary compensation of the injured employe.
 MT. Holder was the last of the repre- sentatives of the railroad workmen to be heard. Six or more speakers indorsed the general plan of the commission and many expressed themselves as satisfied with the details so far as they have been worked out.
 Railroad attorneys gave their views. Robert J. Cary of the New York Central made an appeal for a moderating law which would not require a greater aggre- gate of insurance fund than now is ex- pended by the railroads. He did not be-
