The committee made no effort to

Smith testified that IL was not the
general practice of the church To make
business investments, and that the
sugar business was its largest enter

the church had any stock in the
American Sugar Refining Company.

CHAPTER xv.-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 TWEEN
ty-first floors, where the same pro-
cedure was Observed but as the latter
was reached unexpected and very well
come achievements 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
it 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
80 hot Maff
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 Inn in search of her without
a thought of personal peril, but with a
sick heart and overwhelmed with a
sitting sense of anxiety.
More active than the paunch-bur
dened detective, he had sprinted down
and back through the hallway of the
twenty second floor, without discover
.ng anything, ere the police contingent
had reached an agreement and the
stairhead
There remained two more floors, two
final flights. A little hopelessly h'
swung up the first And as he did 81
the blackness above him was riven b,
a tongue of fire, and bullet, singing
past his head, fiattened itself with ;
vicious spat against the marble dad'
of the walls. Instinctively he pulle'
up, finger closing upon the trigger o
his revolver: flash and report fol

ribbed glass in 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
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 rifie-shot rang out above, and
for second he fancied that Anisty
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

light to guide his footsteps, its opales-
cent surface lettered with the name Of

he had so often crossed to meet a
friend and adviser 1t was with a
shock that he comprehended this, a
thrill Of wonder. He had all but for
gotten that Bannerman owned an Of
fee in the building, in the rush, the
urge of this wild adventure. Strange
that Anisty should have chosen 1t 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

The bolt had been shot, he was
barred out, and, with only the width OF

was in deathly peril and terror.
A sob that was at the same time an

over his shoulder to aid him.
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 pic
ture cast by a cinematograph in
darkened auditorium, there leaped
upon Maitlands 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 a flame seemed to blaze
out from his finger-tips.
At the same instant Hickey's weapon
spat by Maitland's cheek; the young
man felt the hot furnace breath of it.
The burglar reeled as though from
tremendous blow. His infamed fea-
lures were suddenly whitened, and his
right arm dropped Imply from the
shoulder, revolver falling from fingers
involuntarily relaxing.

News came in the other day of a
tiger roaming on the banks of the

miles from Data City. The mahara-

village with his staff on the thirteenth.
That day was devoted simply to OBJ

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

Motor wagons Used Everywhere.

Progress in motor wagon application
is most apparent everywhere the waste
of horse transportation is most obvious.
Hence it was inevitable that the large
cities should be the theaters in which
mechanical haulage would be first and
most extensively demonstrated. But,
though this is precisely what has hap
pened, one is not justified in conclud-
ing that the country at large has over
looked the conspicuous economy of
motor wagons. The truth is, the en-
ployment of machines of all ratings is
quite general. But the buying capacity
of the large cities is at the moment so
great that producers cannot very con-
veniently cultivate the smaller mar
kets. The following table of distribu-
ton would seem to prove the economy
of the machines is as much in evidence
in one part of the country as in an
other.

turned upon Hickey in sudden exas-

speak.

The detective stumbled over his
feet and brought the chair at the risk
of his neck. Then he went away and
returned with the water. In the
meantime the girl, silently enough for
all that her eyes were speaking, with
Maitland's assistance arose and seated
herself.
