FAIRFIELD,
In the clattering* hansom, steadying
herself wilh a hand against the win-
dow-frame. to keep from being thrown
against the speechless man beside
her, the girl waited, And since Mait-
land in confusion at the moment found
no words, from this eloquent Aliened
she drew an inference unjustified, such
as lovers are prone to draw, the world
over, one that lent a pathetic color to
her thoughts, and chilled a little her
mood. She had bden too sure.
But better to have It over with at
once, rather than permit it to’remain
forever a wall of constraint between

think that she would dream of taking
him upon his generous word.
“It was very kind of you," she said
in a steady small voice, ‘‘to pretend
that we—what you did pretend, in or-
der to save me front being held as a
witiiess. At least, I presume that is
why you did It?*— with a not? of un-
certainty.
“It is unnecessary that you should
be drawn into the affair," he replied,
with some resumption of his self-pos-
session. "It isn’t as if you were—’’
“A thief?” she supplied,.as he hesi-
tated.
“A thief," he 'Assented, gravely.
"But I—1 am,” with a break in her
voice.
"But you are not,” he asserted al-
most fiercely. -* n, “Dear." he said,
boldly, "don’t you suppose I know?"
"—what do vott know?”
“That you brought back the Jewels,
for one minor tiling. I found them al-
most as soon as you bad left.' And
then 1 knew—knew that you cared
enough to got them from tills fellow

closed eyes.
Five minutes later Maitland rose

about his own. With a heavy sigh h«
turned away.
At the door Hickey was awaiting
him. ”Yer lady,” he said, as soon as
they had drawn apart from the crowd,

Marriage among the Hopt, a tribe of
the Pheblo Indians, is an institution re-
garding which those most concerned
have least to say. When the parents
of a girl find It expedient for her to
get married they look up an available
man and negotiate with bis parents.
After the matter has been arranged
the principals are notified, the girl
goes to the home of the bridegroom’s
parents and grinds corn for ttytm for
three weeks, while the bridegroom
makes a kind of sash for the bride.
Then one morning at - sunrise they
both battle their heads In cold water,
which completes the ceremony.
There have been Instances of the
bridegroom refusing to go through the
performance, says a writer in Outing.
It has then proceeded without him
and been accounted valid, and several
weeks later he has yielded and had
his head bathed.
The Navajo ceremony Is much rmjre
elaborate and Impressive, but then (he
Navajo girls aro much nicer. The reg-
ular tariff on a Navajo girl entering
the port of matrimony for the first
time Is 12 horses. On the second oc-
casion the tax Is nine horses, while
a long breath and
anticipated rashly. "It's Mrs. Mait-
land," he told the man with a tremor.
Hickey nodded, unimpressed. "Uh-
htth. J knowed that ail along," he
replied. “But seein' as yeh didn't want
it talked about . . ." And, appar-
ently heedless of Maitland's slnrtlefl
and suspicious stare: "If yeh're goin'
to see yer fren', yeh better get a
wiggle on. He won’t last long."
"Who? Bannerman? What the
deuce do you mean?"
"He’s the feller I plugged in the
elevator, that’s all. Put a hole through
I his lungs. They took him into an of-
fice on the twenty-first floor, right
opp’stte the shaft.”
"But what in Heaven’s name has
he (o do with this ghastly mess?"
Hickey turned a shrewd eye upon
Maitland. "I guess he can tell yeh
better*n me.” \
With a smothered exclamation,
Maitland hurried away, sflll Incredu-
lous and impressed with a belief, firm-
er with every minute, that the wound-
ed man had been wrongly identified.
He fotind him as IH^key bad said
he would, gobbing out his life, supine
upon the couch of an office which tbp
janitor had opened to afford him a
place to die In. Maitland had to force
a way through a crowded doorway,
