minute Maitland was positively as
sured that their recent meeting had
been altogether an accident. From
what he had heard over the telephone,
he had believed them to be quarreling,
although at the time he had assigned
to O'Hagan the masculine side of the
dispute. But certainly there must
have arisen some difference of opin-
ion between Anisty and the girl to
have drawn from her that frantic neg
ative Maitland had heard, to have
been responsible for the overturning
of the chair-an accident that seemed
to argue something in the nature of a
physical struggle; the chair itself lay
upon its side, mute witness to a hasty
and careless movement on somebody's
part.
But it was all inexplicable. Event
ually Maitland shook his head, to sig
Nifty that he gave it up. There was
but one thing to do-to put it out of
mind. He would read bit, compose
himself, go to bed.
Preliminary to doing so, he would
take steps to insure the fiat against
further burglarizing, for that night at
least. The draught moving through
the hall stirred the portiere and re-
minded him that the window in the
trunkroom was still open, an invita-
tion to any enterprising sneak-thief or
second-story man. So Maitland went
tn oil 60
AS he shut down the window-sash
and clamped the catch he trod on
something soft and yielding. Wonder
ing, he stopped and picked it up, and
carried it back to the light. 1t proved
to be the girls handbag.
Now" admitted Maitland in a tone
OF absolute candor, Il am damned.

a second time, she would get off scot
free. Unfortunately for her, this fel
low Anisty had interfered. Maitland
presumed cynically that he ought to
be grateful to Anisty. The unaccount
able scoundrel! Why had he returned? /?
How the girl had contrived to es.
cape was, of course, more easy to un
derstand. Maitland recalled that sud
den clatter of hoofs in the street, and
he had only to make a trip to the
window to verify his suspicion that
the cab was gone. She had simply
overheard his concluding remarks to
the cabby, and taken pardonable ad
vantage of them. Maitland had footed
the bill. She was welcome to that
however. He, Maitland, was we'll rid
of the whole damnable business. Yes,
jewels and all!
What were the jewels to him? Be.
yond their sentimental associations, he
did not hold them greatly in prize. OF
course, since they had been worn by
his mother, he would spare no eX-
pense or effort to trace and re-collect
them, for that dim sainted memory's
sake. But in this case, at least, the
traditional usage of the Maitlands
would never be carried out. 1t had
been faithfully observed when, after
his mothers death, the stones had
been removed from their settings and
stored away; but now they would
never be reset, even should he con-
trive to reassemble them, to adorn the
bride of the Maitland heir. For he
would never marry. OF course not.
Maitland was young enough to be-
lieve, and to extract a melancholy sat.
ifcation from, this.
Puzzled and saddened, his mind
harked back forever to that carking
question: Why had she returned?
What had brought her back to the
fiat? IF she and Anisty were confed-
crates, as one was inclined at times to
believe-if such were the case, Anisty
had the jewels, and there was nothing
else of any particular value so per-
sistently to entice such expert and ac-
complished burglars back to his fiat.
What else had they. required of him?
His peace of mind was nothing that
they could turn into cash; and they
seemed to have reaved him of nothing
else.
But they had that; unquestionably
they had taken that.
And still the riddle haunted him:
Why had she come back that night?
And, whatever her reason, had she
come in Anisty's company, or alone?
One minute it seemed patent beyond
dispute that the girl and the great
plunderer were hand-in-glove; the next

Slowly Maitland returned to the
study and replaced the lamp upon his
desk; and stood briefly in silence, long
fingers stroking his well-shaped chin,
his face a little thin and worn-look-
Ing, CLEAN of pain in his eyes. He
sighed.
So she was gone!
He laughed a trace harshly. This
surprise was nothing more than he
might have discounted, of course; he
had been fool to expect anything
else of her, he was enjoying only his
just deserts both for having dared to

would respond to decent treatment,
and for having acted on that asinine
theory.
