The hansom swung into Broadway, going like a whirlwind; and picked up an uniformed officer in front of the Flatiron building, who, shouting and using his locust stridently, sprinted after them. A block further down another fell into line; and he it was who panted at the step an instant after the cab had lurched to a stop before the entrance to the St. Luke building. Hickey had rolled out before the policeman had a chance to bluster. Lo, Bergen, he greeted the man. Yeh know me Im Hickey, central office. Yehre Jus in time.

Much to his disgust he found himself assigned to stand guard over the basement exits, and waddled forth again into the street. Meanwhile the first officer to upon the scene was taking his turn at agitating the button and shaking the gates; and with no more profit of his undertaking than Hickey. After a minute or two of it he acknowledged defeat with an oath, and turned away to browbeat the straggling vanguard of belated wayfarers messenger boys, slatternly drabs, hackmen, loafers, and one or two plain citizens conspicuously out of their reputable grooves who were drifting in at the entrance to line the lobby walls with blank, curious faces. Forerunners of that mysterious rabble which is apparently precipitated out of the very air by any extraordinary happening In city streets. If allowed to remain they would in five minutes have waxed in numbers to the proportions of an unmanageable mob; and the policeman, knowing this, set about dispersing them with perhaps greater discretion than consideration. They wavered and fell back, grumand Maitland, bling discontentedly; his anxiety temporarily distracted by the noise they made, looked round to find his erstwhile cabby at his elbow. Of whom the sight was inspiration. "Ever thoughtful, never unmindful of her whose influence held him in this coll, he laid an arresting hand on the mans sleeve. You've got your cab ? Yissir, right houtslde. Drive round the corner, away from the crowd, and wait for me. If she the young lady comes without me. drive her anywhere she tells you and come to my rooms morning for your pay." Thankee, sir." Maitland turned back, to find the situation round the elevator shaft in statu quo. Nothing had happened, save that Hickey's rage and vexation had increased mightily. Rut why don't you go up after him? How 'n blazes can I?" exploded the detective. Hes got th night car. F I takes the stairs, he comes down by th shaft, nd howm I tuh trust this here mutt? He indicated his associate but humbler custodian of the peace with a disgusted gesture. Perhaps one of the other cars will run Maitland suggested. Ah, theyre all dead ones, Hickey disagreed with disdain as the young man moved down the row of gates, trying one after another. Yehre Only wastin He broke off with a snort as Maitland, somewhat to his own surprise, managing to move the gate of the third shaft from the night elevator, stepped into the darkened car ' and groped for the controller. Presently his fingers encountered it, and he moved it cautiously to one side. A vicious blue spark leaped hissing from and the cage the controller-bobounded up a dozen feet, and was only restrained from its ambition to soar skywards by an instantaneous release of the lever. By discreet manipulation Maitland worked the car down to the street floor again, and Hickey, with a grunt that might be interpreted as an apology for his incredulity, jumped in. Let er rip! he cried, exultantly. Fan them folks out intuh th street, Bergen, 'nd watch ow-uMaitland was pressing the lever slowly wide of Its catch, and the lighted lobby dropped out of sight while the detective was still shouting admonitions to the police below. Gradually gaining momentum the car began to shoot smoothly up into the blackness, safety chains clanking beneath the floor. Hickey fumbled for the electric light switch but, finding it, immediately shut the glare off again and left the car in darkness. Safer, he explained, sententious.

Half-wamately, Hickeys voice rang sharply in the volunteer operators ear. Stop er! Hold er steady. Tothers cornin down.
