There Is one young woman in this city who Is not at all concerned about the outcome of the anti-mecrusade, or the beef trust Investigation, and that Is Miss Ora Kreis, a junior at the Womans Medical college. Miss Kress la a vegetarian, not one who adopts It as a fad, but one who has never tasted meat from the time of her birth, 12 years ago. Her father, Dr. D. H. Kress, superintendent of the Seventh Day Adventist sanatorium at Washington, D. C., Is an ardent advocate of vegetarianism, and he has brought up his daughter In accordance with his views. Xress Is none the worse oft , Miss for her abstinence from meat. Healthy and robust, with a clear complexion, a pleasant temperament and genial disposition, she Is the favorite of friends and Time and again her chums endeavored to tempt her with a "sirloin, well done, or a brown turkey drumstick, but she resisted the temptation. Do you know. It often strikes me so funny, said Miss Kress, with a laugh, "to see people gorging the carcass of some dead animal or fowl down their throats. It is repulsive to me. "Why kill living things for food when the earth is so generous with her bounty ' of healthful, nourishing food?" Do you believe In "vegetarianism because it Is healthful or because it Is humane? she was asked. "Both, she answered. Do you wear plumes or feathers? "Oh, no; that would be Inconsistent."

The girl In gray visited Maitlands apartments during his absence and returned gems, being discovered on return. CHAPTER IX. Continued. But not to rest. The portion of the mentally harassed, sleeplessness, was hia; and for an hour or more he tossed upon his bed (upon which he had thrown himself without troubling to undress), pondering, to no profit of his, the hundred problems, difficulties and disadvantages suggested or created by the events of the past 24 houra, The gray girl, Anisty, the jewels, himself; unflagging, his thoughts circumnavigated the world of his romance, touching only at these four ports, and returning always to linger longest in the harbor of sentiment The gray girl; Strange that her personality should have come to dominate his thoughts in a space of time so brief! and upon grounds of Intimacy so slender! Who and what was she? What cruel rigor of circumstance had impelled her to seek a livelihood in ways so sinister? At whose door must the blame be laid, against what flaw in the body social should the indictment be drawn, that she should have been forced into the ranks of the powers that prey a girl of her youth and rare fiber, of her cultivation, her charm, and beauty? The sheer loveliness of her, her grace and gentleness, her Ingenuous sensitiveness, her wit; they combined to make the thought of her, to him, at least, at once terrible and a delight. Remembering that once he had held her In his arms, and gazed into her starlit eyes, and inhaled the Impalpable fragrance of her, be trembled, was both glad and afraid. And her ways so hedged about with perils! While he must stand aside, im potent, a pillar of the social order secure in its shelter, and see her hounded and driven by the forces of the Law, harried and worried like an unclean thing, forced, as It might be, to resort to stratagems and expedients unthinkable, to preserve her liberty. It was altogether Intolerable. He could not stand It And yet It was written that their paths had crossed and parted and were never again to touch. Or was it? It must be so written: They would never meet again. After all, her concern with, her interest in, him, could have been nothing permanent. They had encountered under strange auspices, and he had treated her with common decency, for which she had repaid him In good measure by permitting him to retain his own property. Their account was even, and she for ever done with him. That must be her attitude. Why should it be anything else? "Oh, the devil! exclaimed the young man in disgust. And rising, took his distemper to the window. Leaning on the sill, he thrust head and shoulders far out over the garish abyss of metropolitan night. The hot breath of the city fanned up in stifling waves Into his face, from the street below, upon whose painted pavements men crawled like Insects round moving spots, to each his romance undy his hat The window was on the corner, overlooking the junction of three great highways of humanity: Twenty third street, with its booming crosstown cars, stretching away into the darkness on either hand; Broadway, forking off to the left, Its distances merg-glnInto a hot glow of yellow radiance; Fifth avenue, branching Into the north with its desolate sidewalks oddly patterned in areas of dense shadow and a cold, clear light. Over the way the park loomed darkly, ' for all its scattered arcs, a black and silent space, a well of mystery. It was late, quite late; the clock in front of Dorlon's (he craned his neck to see) made the hour one In the morning; the sidewalks were comparatively deserted, even the pillared portico of the Fifth Avenue hotel destitute of loungers. A timid hint of coolness, forerunning the dawn, rode up on the breeze. He looked up and away northward, for many minutes, over housetops stenciled black against the glowing Sky, his gaze yearning into vast distances of space, melancholy tingeing the complexion of his mind. He fancied himself oppressed by a vague uneasiness, unaccountable as to cause, unless From the sublime to the ridiculous with a vengeance, his thoughts tumbled. Gone the glamour of romance In a twinkling, banished by rank materialism. He could have blushed for shame; he got slowly to his feet, irresolute, trying to grapple with a condition that never before in his existence had he been called upon to g CHAPTER X. Consequences. Breathing convulsively, wide eyes a little wildly fixed upon his face In the lamplight, the girl stumbled to her feet, and for a moment remained cowering against the wall, terribly shaken, a hand gripping a corner of the packing box for support, the other pressed against the bosom of her dress as if in attempt forcibly to quell the mad hammering of her heart. In her brain, a turmoil of affrighted thought, but one thing stood out clearly; now she need look for no mercy. The first time it had been different; she had not been a woman had she been unable then to see that the adventure intrigued Maitland with its spice of novelty, a new sensation, fully aa much as she, herself, the pretty woman out of place, Interested and attracted him. He had enjoyed playing the part, had been amused to lead her to believe him an adventurer of mettle and caliber little inferior to her own as he understood her; unscrupulous, impatient of the quibble of meum-et-tuubut adroit and keenwitted, and distinguished and set apart from the herd by grace of gentle breeding and chivalric instincts. How far he might or might not have let this enjoyment carry him, she had no means of surmising. Not very far, not too far, she was inclined to believe, strongly as she knew her personality to have influenced him; not far enough to induce him to trust her out of sight with the jewels. He bad demonstrated that, to her humiliation. The flush of excitement waning, manlike soon had he wearied of the game she thought; to her mind, in distorted retrospect, his attitude when leaving her at dawn had been Insincere, contemptuous, that of a man relieved to be rid of her, relieved to be able to get away in unquestioned possession of his treasure. True, the suggestion that they lunch together at Eugenes had been his. But be had forgotten the engagement, it ever he had meant to keep It, if the notion bad been more than a whim of the moment with him. And OHagan had told her by telephone that Maitland had left his rooms at one o'clock in ample time to meet her at the restaurant. No, he had never Intended to come; he had wearied; yet, patient with her, true to the ethics of a gentle man, he had been content to let her go, rather than to send a detective to take his place. And this was something, by the way, to cause her to revise her theory as to the manner In which Anisty had managed to steal the Jewels. If Maitland had gone abroad at one, and without intending to keep his engagement at Eugenes, then he must have been despoiled before that hour, and without his knowledge. Surely, If the Jewels had been taken from him with his cognizance, the hue and cry would have been out and Anisty would not have dared to linger so long in the neighborhood! To be just with herself, the girl had not gone to the restaurant with much real hope of finding Maitland there. Curiosity had drawn her Just to see If But it was too preposterous to credit that he 6hould have cared It enough. Quite too preposterous! was her cup, her bitter cup, to know that she had learned to care enough at sight! And she recalled (with what pangs of shame and misery begged expression!) how her heart had been stirred when she had found him (as she thought) true to his tryst; even as she recalled the agony and distress of mind with which she had a moment later fathomed Anisty'g Impersonation. For, of course, she had known that Maitland was Maitland and none other from the instant when he told her to make good her escape and leave him to brazen it out; a task to daunt even as bold and resourceful a criminal as Anisty, and more especially If he were called upon to don the mask at a minute's notice, as Maitland had , pretended to. Or, if she had not actually known, she had been led to suspect; and it had hardly needed what she had heard him Bay to the servants, when he thought her flying hotfoot over the lawn to safety, to harden suspicion into certainty. And now that he should find her here, a second time a trespasser, doubly an lngrate that he should have caught her in this abominably ungrateful treachery! She could pretend, of course, that she had returned merely to restore the jewels and the cigarette case; and he would believe her, for he was generous. She red-hande- d could, but she could not. Not now. Yesterday, the excitement had buoyed her; she had gained a piquant enjoyment from befooling him, playing her part of the amateur cracksman In this little comedy of the stolen jewels. But therein lay the difference; yesterday It had been comedy, but ah! y she could no longer laugh. For now 6he cared. A little lie would clear her yes. But It was not to be cleared that Bhe now so passionately desired; it was to have him believe in her, even against the evidence of his senses, even in the face of the worlds condemnation; and to prove that he, too, cared cared for her as his attitude toward her had taught her to care. Ever since leaving him in the dawn she had fed her starved heart with the hope, faint hope though It were, that he would come to care a little, that he would not utterly despise her, that he would understand and forgive, when he learned why she had played out her part, nor believe that she was the embodiment of all that was ignoble, coarse, and crude; that be would she a little faith in her, a little faith that like a flickering taper might light the way for love. But that hope was now dead within her, and cold. She had but to look at him to see how groundless it had been, how utterly unmoved he was by her distress. He waited patiently that was all seeming so very tall, a pillar of righteous strength, distinguished and at ease in his evening qlothes; waiting patient but cold, dispassionate and disdainful. I am waiting, you see. Might I suggest that we have not all week for our our mutual differences?" His tone was altogether changed; she would hardly have known It for his voice. Its incisive, clipped accents were like a knife to her sensitiveness She summoned the reserve of her strength, stood erect, unsupported, and moved forward without a word. He stood aside, holding the lamp high, and followed her, lighting the way down the hall to the study. Once there, she sank quivering into a chair, while he proceeded gravely to the desk, put down the lamp superfluous now, the gas having been lighted and after a moments thought faced her, with a contemptuous smile and lift of his Bhoulders, thrusting hands deep into his pockets. "Well? he demanded, cuttingly. She made a little motion of her hands, begging for time; and, assenting with a short nod, he took a turn up and down the room, then abstractedly reached up and turned out the gas. "When you are quite composed I should enjoy hearing your statement." I have none to make." So! with his back to the lamp, her towering over and oppressing l. with the sense of his strength and That Is very odd, Isnt It?" I have no no explanation to give that would satisfy you, or myself, I I dont care she said, brokenly. what you think, with a flicker of defiance. Believe the worst and and do what you will have me arrested He laughed sardonically. Oh, we wont go so far as that, I guess; harsh measures, such as arrest and imprisonment, are so unsatisfactory to all concerned. But I am interested to know why you are here. Her breathing seemed very loud la the pause; she kept her lips tight, fearing to speak lest she lose her mastery of self. And hysteria threatened; the fluttering In her bosom warned her. She must be very careful, very restrained, if she were to avert that crowning misfortune. I don't think I quite understand you, he cortinued, musingly; surely you must have anticipated interruption. I thought you safely out of the way He laughed One presumed that. But how about again, unpleasantly. Maitland? Didn't you have him In your calculations, or He paused, unfeignedly surprised by her expression. And chuckled when he comprehended. to-da- y to-da- (TO BK CONTINUED.) A Schemer.
