CHAPTER X—Continued.
"By the powers, I forgot for a mo-
ment! Bo you thought me Maitland,
eta? Well, I’m sorry I didn’t under-
stand that from the first. You’re so
quick, as a rule, you know—1 confess
you duped me neatly this afternoon—
that I supposed you were wise and
only afraid that I’d give you what you
deserve. If they had sent any one but
that stupid ass, Hickey, to nab me. I’d
tie In the cooler now. As It was, you
|j kindly selected the very best kind of
a bouse for my purpose; I went
straight up to the roofs and out
through a building round the corner.”
But the shock of discovery, with lte
attendant revulsion of feeling, had
been too much for her. She collapsed
suddenly In the chair, eyes half closed,
face pallid as a mask of deatb.
Anlsty regarded her in silence for a
meditative Instant, then, taking up
the lamp, etrode down the hall to the
pantry, returning presently with a
glass brimming with an amber-tinted,
effervescent liquid.
“Champagne,” he announced, licking
bis lips. “Wish I had Maitland's
means to gratify my palate. He knows
good wine. Here, my dear, gulp this
down,” placing the glass to the girl's
lips and raising her head that she
might swallow without strangling.
As It was, she choked and gasped,
but after a moment began to show
•ome signs of having benefited by the
draught, a faint color dawning In her
cheeks.
"That’s some better," commended
the burglar, not unkindly. "Now, If
you please, we'll stop talking pretty
and get down to brass tacks. Buck up.
now, and answer my questions. And
don't be afraid; I'm bolding no great
grudge for wbat you did this after-
noon. I appreciate pluck and grit as
much as anybody, I guess, though I do
' think you ran It pretty close, peach-
ing on n pal after you’d lifted the
Jewels. By the way, why did you
do itr
"Because— But you wouldn’t under-
stand If I told you."
"1 suppose not. I’m not much good
splitting sentimental hairs. But Mait-
land must have been pretty decent to
you to make you go so far. Speaking
which, where are they?"
"They?”
"Don’t /Idestep. We understand one
another. I know you've brought back
the Jewels. Where have you stowed
them?”
The wine had fulfilled Its mission,
endowed her with fresh strength and
renewed spirit. She was thinking
quickly, every wit alert
”1 won’t tell you.”
"Won’t ehT That’s an admission
that they’re here, you know. And you
may as well know I propose to have
’em. Fafi* meant or foul, take your
pick. Where are they?”
"1 have told you I wouldn’t tell."
"I’ve known pluckier women than
you to change their minds, under pres-
sure.” He oame nearer, bending over,
face cloae to her, eyes savage, and
gripped her wrists none too gently.
"Tell me!”
“Let me go."
He proceeded calmly to Imprison
both small wrists In one strong, bony
band. “Better tell.”
*\«t me go!” she panted, struggling
to rise.
His voice took on an ugly tone.
"Tell!”
She was a child In his hands, but
managed nevertheless to rise. As he
applied the pressure more cruelly to
her arms she cried aloud with pain
and. sti-uggllng desperately, knocked
the chair over.
It went down with a crash appalling-
ly loud In that silent house and at
that hour; and taking advantage of his
Instant of consternation she Jerked
lane and sprang toward the door. He

was upon her In an Instant, however,
hard fingers digging Into her shoul-
ders. “You little fool!"
"No!” she cried. "No, no, no! Let
me go, you—you brute!—
Abruptly he thought better of hie
methods and released her, merely pul-
ing himself between her and tha door-
way.
“Don’t be a little fool." he coun-
seled. "You kick up that row and
you'll have us both pinched inside ef
the next five minutes."
Defiance was on her tongue’s tip,
but the truth In his words gave bar
pause. Palpitating with the shook,
every outraged Instinct aqulver, she
subdued herself and fell back, eying
him fixedly.
"They’re here,” he nodded thought-
fully. “You wouldn’t have stood for
that If they weren't. And since they
are, I can find them without your as-
sistance. Bit down. I shan’t touch
you again."
Bhe had scant choloe other than
to obey. Desperate as she was, her
strength had been severely overtaxed,
and she might not presume upon It
too greatly. Fascinated with terror,
she let herself down into an easy
chair.
Anlsty thought for a moment, then
went over to the desk and sat himself
before It.
"Keys,” he commented, rapidly In-
ventorying what he saw. "How’d you
get hold of them?”
"They are Mr. Maitland’s. He must
have forgotten them.”
The burglar cbuckled grimly. “Co-
incidences multiply. It Is odd. That
harp, O’Hagan, was coming In with a
can of beer while I was picking the
lock, and caught me. He wanted to
know If I’d missed m> train for Green-
fields, and I gave him my word of hon-
or I bad. Moreover, I’d mislaid my
keys and bad been ringing for him tor
the past ten minutes. Ha swallowed
every word of It By the way, here's
a glove of yours. You certainly man-
aged to leave enough clews about to
Insure your being nabbed even by a
New York detective.”
He faced about, tossing her the
glove, and with it so keen and pene-
trating a glance that her heart sank
for fear that he had guessed her se-
cret But as he continued ehe re-
gained confidence.
"I could teach you a thing or two,"
he suggested, pleasantly. “You make
about as many mistakes as the aver-
age beginner. And, on the other band,
you’ve got the majority beaten to a
finish for 'cuteness. You’re as quiok
as they make them."
She straightened up, uneasy, op-
pressed by a vague surmise as to
whither this tended.
"Thank you,” she said, breathlasaly,
"but hadn't you better—”
. “Plenty of time, my dear. Maitland
has gone to Greenfields and wa've sev-
eral hours before us. look here, little
woman, why don’t you take a tumble
to yourself, cut out all this nonsense,
and look to your own Interests T"
“I don't undsrstand you," she fal-
tered. "but If—”
"I'm talking about this Maitland
affair. Cut It out and forget it You're
too good-looklus and valuable to your-
self to lose your head Just all on ac-
count of a little moonlight flirtation
with a good-looking millionaire. Yon
don't suppose for an instant that
then’s anything In ft for yours, do
youT You’re nothing to Maitland-
Just an Incident; next time he meets,
the baby-stare for yours. You can
thank your lucky stars he happened to
have a reputation to sustain as a vil-
lage cut-up, a guy, sad dog, always out
for a good time and bang ths expense!
Otherwise he’d have handed you yours
without a moment’s hesitation. I’m
not doing this up In tln-foll and tying
a violet ribbon with tassels on It, but
I’m handing It straight to you; some-
thing you don’t want to forget. You
Just sink your hooks In the fact that
you’re nothing to Maitland and that
he’s nothing to you, and never will be,
and you wont lose anything—except
Illusions."
Bhe remained quiescent for a little,
hands twitching In her lap, torn by
conflicting emotions—fear of and aver
slon for the man. amusement, chill
horror bred of the knowledge that he
was voicing the truth about her, the
truth, at least, as he saw It. and—and
as Maitland would sea It
"Illusions?" she echoed, faintly, and
raised h«r eyes to his with a pitiful
attempt at a smile. "Oh, but I must
have lost them, long ago; else I
shouldn’t be--"
"Here and what yon are. That’s
wbat I’m telling you.”
8he shuddered imperceptibly; looked
down and up again, swiftly, her expres-
sion Inscrutable, her voice a-tremble
between laughter and tears: "Well?”
"Eh?" The directness of her query
figuratively brought him up all stand-
ing, canvas flapping and wind out of
his sails.
“What are you offering me la ex-
change for my silly dream?" she In-
quired, a trace of spirit quickening her
tone.
"A fair exchange, I think—some-
thing that I wouldn’t offer you If you
hadn't been able to dream." He
paused, doubtful, clumsy.
"Go on." she told him, faintly. Since
It mutt come, as wall be over with It.
"See here." He took heart of
desperation. "You took to Maitland
when you thought ho was me. Why
not take to me for myself? I’m as
good a man, better as a man, than he,
If I do blow my own horn. You side
with me, little woman, and—and all
that—and I’U treat you square. I
never went back on a pal yet Why,"
brightening with enthusiasm as his
gate appraised her, “with your looks
end your cleverness and my knowl-
edge of the business, we can sweep
the country, you and I.”
"Oh!” she cried, breathlessly.
“We’ll start right now,” he plunged
on, misreading her; “right now, with
last night's haul. You'll chuck this
addled sentimental pangs-nf-consclence
lay, hand over the Jewels, and—and
I’ll hand ’em back to you the day we're
married, all set and—as handsome a
wadding present as any woman eva/

face from him, fstrly cornered at last,

“Oh, but little woman!" he laughed,
tenderly, coming nearer. “It Is be-

hold those scruples and make a fool
of me for their sake, that I want you.

—"don’t you know that you’re too rare

"Not yet" She started to her feet
and away. "Walt. There’s a cab!"
The street without was echoing with
the clattering drum of galloping Aoofs.
"At this hour!" she cried aghast.
“Could It be—"
"No fear. Besides—there. It’s
stopped."
“In front of this house!"

"But I tell you," she Insisted, re-

“That" was the dulled crash of the
front door.

“I can’t see," she Invented. “Where’s

CHAPTER XI.
“Dan"—Quixote.
Leaving the hotel, Maitland strode
quietly but rapidly across the car
tracks to the sidewalk bordering the
park. A dozen ntghth&wk cabbies bore
down upon him, yelping In chorus. He
motioned to the foremost. Jumped Into
the hansom and gave the fellow his
address.
"Five dollars," he added, “If jro*
make It In five minutes."
An astonished horse, roused from s
droop-eared lethargy, was yanked al-
most .by main strength out of the cab-
rank and into the middle of the ave-
nue. Before he could recover, the
long whip-lash had leaped out over
the roof of the vehicle, and he found
himself stretching away up the avenue
on a dead run.
Yet to Maitland the pace seemed
deadly slow. He fidgeted on the seat
In an agony of Impatience, a dosen
times feeling In waistcoat pocket for
hts latch keys. They were there, and
his fingers Itched to use them.
By the lights streaking past he
knew that their pace was furious, and
was haunted by a fear lest It should
bring the police about bis ears. At
Twenty-ninth street. Indeed, a dream-
ing policeman, startled by the uproar,
emerged hastily from the sheltering
gloom of a store entrance, shouted
after the cabby an Inartlculata ques-
tion, and, getting no response, un-
sheathed his night stt -k and lopad up
the avenue In pursuit, making the
locust sing upon the pavement at
eve.*y Jump.

Work of All ths Organs of tho Body
Dependent Upon Mineral Mat-
ters Furnished—Milk end
Eggs Highly Desirable.
BY JESSICA E. BE8ACK.
Director Department of Domestic Bel.
race and Art, National Corn Exposition.
Omaha, Neb.
The necessity of mineral matter* In
the food Is not often understood. Ftew
people give this matter any thought
other than that mineral matter Is
needed for the bones and to "purify
the blood,” whatever that may mean.
As everyone knows, the food mar
terlals are carried to every part of
the system by the blood and, by a very
exact arrangement, Just the particular
food and amount needed deposited.
But what Is not generally known la
the fact Hiat tbe work of all the or-
gans of Be body Is dependent upon
the mlriwal matters furnished. The
beating of the heart Is due to the pres-
ence of two mineral salts In the blood,
;4tno possessing the property of causing
expansion and the other the property
or causing contraction.
Many difficulties attend the work
of foods and their effects upon the sys-
tem. The experiments are long and
expensive and subject* few and reluc-
tant. But recent Investigations tend
to show that minerals cannot be suc-
cessfully supplied to the body In a
medicinal form, without an accom-
panying food, rich In the mineral de-
sired. ~
It follows that a diet rich In mineral
matter is essential. Fresh vegetables,
fresh fruits, milk and eggs are all rich
in minerals and should find a place in
all diets. Milk and eggs are expensive,
tut the result will justify the expense
In many Instances. Skim milk and
bpttermllk are just as ricn In minerals
ak whole milk, much cheaper and are
deserving of much more attention than
Is usually given to them.
