For a thought he stood bewildered and dismayed by the absence of light. He had thought, somehow, to find the gas jets flaring. The atmosphere was hot and foul with the odor of kerosene, the blackness filled with strange sounds and mysterious moving shapes. A grunting gasp came to his ears, and then the silence and the night alike were split by a report, accompanied by a streak of orange flame shooting ceilingward from the middle of the room. Its light, transient as it was, gave him some inkling of the situation. Unthinkingly he flung himself forward, ready to grapple with that which first should meet his hands. Something soft and yielding brushed against his shoulder, and subconsciously, In the of his excitement, he was aware of a mans voice cursing and a womans cry of triumph trailing off into a wail of pain. On the instant he found himself at grips with the marauder. For 41 moment both swayed, dazed by the shock ol collision. Then Maitland got a footing on the carpet and put forth' his strength; the other gave way, slipped and went to his knees.

Recovering, he Beized the dashboard and gathered himself together, ready to spring the instant the vehicle paused in its headlong career. Through the cabby's misunderstanding of the address, in all likelihood, the horse was reined in on Us haunches some three houses distant from the apartment fcutldlng. Maitland found himself sprawling on his hands and knees on the sidewalk, Youll picked himself up, shouting: wait? to the driver, and sprinted madly the few yards separating him from his own front door, keys ready in hand. poSimultaneously the liceman lumbered around the Fifth avenue corner, and a man, detaching himself from the shadows of a neighboring doorway, began to trot loutish-lacross the street, evidently with the intention of intercepting Maitland at the door. He was hardly quick enough. Maitland did not even see him. The door slammed in the man's face, and he, panting harshly, rapped out an imprecation and began a frantic assault on the pushbutton marked "Janitor. As for Maitland, he was taking the stairs three at a clip', and had his pass I key in the latch almost as soon as his half-winde- d y A match flared noiselessly and the gas blazed overhead. A cry of aston lshment choked in his throaat as he recognized his own features duplicated in the face of the man whose throat he was slowly and relentlessly constricting. Anisty! He had not thought of him or connected him with the sounds that had thrilled and alarmed him over the .telephone wire coming out of the void and blackness of night. Indeed, he had hardly thought any coherent thing about the matter. The ring of the girl's No! had startled him, and he had somehow thought, vaguely, thatO'Hagan had surprised her in the flat. But more than that He glanced swiftly aside at the girl standing still beneath the chandelier, the match in one hand burning tos ward her finger tips, in the other revolver. Their eyes met, and in hers the light of gladness leaped and fell like a living flame, then died, to be replaced by a look of entreaty and prayer so moving that his heart in its unselfish chivalry went out to her. Who or what she was, howsoever damning the evidence against her, he would believe against belief, shield her to the end at whatever hazard to himself, whatever cost to his fortunes. Love is unreasoning and unreasonable fvtn when "Unrecognized. His senses seemed to vibrate with redoubled activity, to become abnormally acute. For the first time he was conscious of the imperative clamor of the electric bell in O'Hagans quarters. An-isty- For the least part of $ second the young man hesitated, choosing his way. Then, resolved, in accents of determination: "Stand up, you hound! he cried. Back to the wall there! and thrust the weapon under the burglar's nose. The move gained instant obedience. Mr. Anisty could not reasonably hesitate in the face of such odds. And you, Maitland continued over his shoulder to the girl without removing his attention from the burglar, into the alcove there, at once! And not a word, not a whisper, not a sound until I call you! She gave him one frightened and piteous glance, then, unquestioning, slipped quietly behind the portieres. Turn your pockTo Anisty, again: commanded out! ets Maitland. "Quick, you fool! The police are below; your freedom depends on your haste." Anisty's hands flew to his pockets, emptying their contents on the floor. Maitland's eyes sought in vain the shape of the canvas bag. But time was too precious. Another moments procrastination and "That will do. he said, crisply, Now listen without raising his voice. to me. At the end of the hall, there, you'll find a trunk closet, from which a window " I know. "Naturally you would. Now go! Anisty waited for no repetition of Whatever the madthe permission. ness of Mad Maitland, he was concerned only to profit by it. Never before had the long arm of the law stretched hungry fingers so near his collar. He went, springing down the hall in long, soundless strides, vanishing into its shadows. As he disappeared Maitland stepped to the door, raised his revolver, and pulled the trigger twice. The shots detonated loudly in that confined space, and rang coincident with the clash and clatter of shivered glass. A thin cloud of vapor obscured the doorway, swaying on the hot, still air, then parted and dissolved,, dissipated by the entrance of four men who, thrusting the door violently open, struggled into the hallway. Blpe cloth and brass buttons moved conspicuously in the van, a grim face flushed and perspiring beneath the helmets vizor, a revolver poised menacingly In one hand, locust as ready in the other. Behind this outward and visible manifestation , of the laws majesty bobbed a rusty derby, cocked jauntily back upon the red, shining perforehead of a short and thick-se- t son with a black mustache. O'Hagans agitated countenance loomed over a dusty shoulder, and the battered silk hat or the nighthawk brought up the rear. Maitland Come In, everybody, greeted them cheerfully, turning back into the study and tossing the revolver, shreds of smoke still curling up from Its muzzle, upon a divan. he called, on second OHagan, thought, jump downstairs and see that all New York 'doesn't get in. Let nobody in! As the janitor unwillingly obeyed, policeman and detective found their tongues. A volley of questions, to the general purport of Whats th meanin of all this here? assailed Maitland as he rested himself coolly on an edge of the desk. He responded, with one eyebrow slightly elevated: A burglar. What dfa you suppose? That I was indulging in target practice at this time of night? Which way'd he go? Back of the flat through the winI suppose. .1 dow to the took a couple of shots after him, but missed, and. Inasmuch as he was armed, I didnt pursue. Hickey stepped forward, glowering 'unpleasantly at the young man. Yeh 'go along, he told the uniformed man, 'nd see 'f hes tellin the truth. I'll stay here 'nd keep him company. His tone amused Maitland. In the reaction from the recent strain upon his wits and nerve, he laughed openly. And who are you? he suggested, smiling, as the policeman clumped heavily away. Hickey spat thoughtfully Into a I Satsuma jardiniere and sneered. s'pose yeh never saw me before? I'm Maitland bowed affirmation. sorry to say that that pleasure has heretofore been denied me. " agreed the detective, sourly, I guess thats a hot one, too.' He scowled blackly in Maitlands amazed face and seemed abruptly to swell with My rage. mysterious names Hickey, he informed him, venand dont yeh lose sight of omously, that after this. Its somethin it wont hurt yeh to remember. Guess yer mem'rys taking a vacation, huh? My dear man, said Maitland, you speak in parables and if you'll pardon my noticing It with some uncalled-for spleen.- - Might I suggest that you moderate your tone? For, he continued, facing the man squarely, if you dont, it will be my duty and pleasure to hoist you Into the street' fire-escap- u I got a photergrapht of yeh doing It," growled Hickey. Still, seeing as yeh never saw me before, I guess It won't do no harm for yeh to connect with this. And he turned back his coat uncovering the official shield of the detective bureau. Ah!" commented Maitland, politely. A detective? How interesting! e winders broke, all right." This was the policeman, returned. And some ones let down the bottom length of ladder, but there aint nobody in sight. No, interjected Hickey, nd there wouldn't ve been if youd been waitin in the back yard all night. "Certainly not, Maitland agreed, blandly; especially if my burglar had known It. In which case I fancy he would have chosen another route by the roof, possibly. Yeh know somethin about roofs yehself, donchuh? suggested Hickey. Well, guess yehll have time to write a book about it while yeh He Btepped unexpectedly to Maitlands side and bent forward. Something cold and hard closed with a snap around each of the young mans wrists. He started up, face aflame with indignation, forgetful of the girl hidden In the alcove. "What the devil! he cried, hotly, jingling the handcuffs. "Ah, come off, Hickey advised him. Yeh can't bluff it forever, you know. Come along and tell the sarge all about It, Daniel Maitland, alias Handsome Dan Anisty, gentleman burglar. Ah, cut that out, young fellow; yehre foxy, all right, but yehve pushed yer run of luck too hard. Hickey paused, perplexed, finding nc words wherewith adequately to voice the disgust aroused in him by his prisoner's demeanor, something far from seemly, to ills mind. The humor of the situation had just dawned upon Maitland, and the young man was crimson with appreciation. Go on, go on! he begged, feebly. "Don't let me stop you. Hickey. Dont, please, let me spoil it all. Your Sherlock Holmes, Hickey, is one of the finest characterizations I have ever witnessed. It Is a privilege not to be underestimated to be permitted to play Raffles to you. But seriously, my dear sleuth! wilh un unhappy attempt to wipe his eyes with hampered fists, dont you think youre wasting your Fire-escap- talents?" By this time even the policeman seemed doubtful. He glanced askance at the detective and shuffled uneasily. As for the cabby, who had blustered in at first with intent to demand his due in no uncertain terms, apparently Maitlands bearing, coupled with the inherent contempt and hatred of the nighthawk tribe for the minions of the law, had won his sympathies completely. Lounging against a door-jamquite at home, he genially puffed an unspeakable cigarette and nodded approbation of Maitlands every other word. But Hickey Hickey, bristled belligerently, fine "Fine, he declared, acidly; and dandy. I take off my hat to yeh, Dan Anisty. I may be a bad actor, all right, but yeh got me beat at the post. Then turning to the policeman: I got him right. Look here! Drawing a folded newspaper from his pocket, he spread it open for the officers inYeh see them pictures? spection. Now, on the level, is it natural? The patrolman frowned doubtfully, glacing from the' paper to Maitland. The cabby stretched a curious neck. Maitland groaned inwardly; he had seen that infamous sheet. Now listen, the Jetective exthis pounded with gusto. Twict here Maitland, or Anisty, meets me. Once on the' stoop here, nd hes Maitland nd takes me to lunch see? Next time its In Harlem, where Ive been sent with a hot tip from the cmmis-s'ner- s office to find Anisty, nd hes still Maitland nd surprised to see me. I ain't sure then, but Im doin some heavy thinkin, all right. I lets him go and shadows him. After a while he gives me the slip nd I chases down here, waitin for him to turn up. Coming down on the car I buys this paper nd sees the pictures, and then Im on. See? grunted the patrolman, scowling at Maitland. The cabby caressed his nose with a soiled forefinger reflectively, plainly a bit prejudiced by Hickey's exposition. One minute, Maitland Interjected, eyes twinkling and lips twitching. "How long ago was It that you began to watch this house, sleuth? Five minutes before yeh come, responded Hickey, Ignoring the insult. to-da- y Uh-hu- Now "Took you a long time to figure this out, didnt it? But go on, please. "Well, I picked the winner, all right, flared the detective. I guess thatll be about all for yours. (TO BE CONTINUED.) The Business of Farming. are just awakening to the fact that the value of farm land is rapidly Increasing in America. Ever since the discovery of the continent there have been vast tracts of unoccupied land subject to free settlement until now. We have at last filled up the continent and all the land worth tilling is under ownership. We are doing much by Irrigation to reclaim the arid lands, but these are rapidly filled up as soon as they are made tillable. Relieved of the pressure of vacant lands, there can be no doubt that the value of farms will continue to rise and the value of farm products will rise with them. The present depression in the commercial and Industrial world has caused no drop In the price of farm products, no particular decrees in the cost of living; Indeed, It has increased, if measured by wages.
