Wherefore wgs Maltlaud astonished,

At any other season of the year he
would'readily have accounted for the
phenomenon that now fell under his
observation, on the hypothesis that the
woman was somebody's sister or cous-
in or aunt. But at present that expla-
i nation was untenable; Maitland, bap-
■ pened to know that not one of the oth-
er men was tn New York, barring
himself; and his own presence there
was a thing entirely unforeseen. ■ „
Still incyeduinu^ he mental.lv£onned

first flat, was traveling on the con-
tinent; Conkling, of the third, had left

Therefore Rannermab thoughtfully

which O'Hagan could be counted upon
to do very acceptably.
' Now, with patience unruffled, since
he was nothing keen for the evening's
enjoyment, Maitland made profit of
the interval to wgnder through bls
rooms, lighting” the gaa here and
there and noting that all wa* as it
should 1>e, as tt had been left—save
that every article of furniture and
brie-a-brac seemed to be sadly in want
Of a thorough dusting. In the end he
brought up tn the room that served
him as study and lounger—the drawing
room dr the flat, as planned tn the for-
gotten architect's scheme—a large and
well-lighted apartment overlooking the
street. Here, pausing beneath .the
chandelier, he looked about him for a
moment, determining that, as else-
where. ail things were In order—but
gray with dust.
Finding the atmosphere heavy, stale,
and oppressive, Maitland moved over
to The wttntowz and ttrrcw them open.
A gush of warm air, humid and redo-
lent of the streets, Iqvaded the room,
^together with the roar of traffic from
its near-by ailerlez. Maitland rested
elbows dn lbe sill and lenned-ont, star-
tag absently into the night; for by
now it wak quite dark.-. Withunt con-
cern, he realized that he would.be late
at dinner. No matter: he would as
willingly miss It altogether. For tb»
time being he was absorbed in vain
speculations about an unknown wom-
an whose sbleJfclm upon his consid-
eration lay !u Wortaln.but immaterial
glamour of -mystery; —Had she-, of had
she not, been In the house? And. if
the true answer wore in the affirma-

His eyes focused insensibly upon a
void of darkness beneath him-—night
made visible by streej letups; and he
found himself suddenly and acutely

A piano organ, having maliciously
zneaked up beneath his window, drove
I him Indoors with a craeb of metallic
melody.
As he dropped the curtains his eye
was arreet,ed by a gleam nt white upon
his desk—a letter placed there, doubt-
less, by O’Hagan in Maltland’s ab-
sence. At the same time, a splashing
and gurgling' of water from the dfrec-
. tlon of the bathroom informed him
that the- janttor-valet was even then
preparing his bath. But that could
wait.
