his safe, tank therefrom the towels, and
gave them to her. first forming a part-
nership In crime.
CHAPTER IV.—Continued.
Tho interior of tho safe was re-
pealed in a shape little different from
that of the ordinary household strong-
box. There were several account
books, ledgers and the like, together
with Borne trackages of docketed bills,
In the pigeon hides. The cash box,
itself a safe within a safe, showed a
blank face broken by it smalt combi-
nation dial. Behind this. In a se-
creted compartment, the Multlaud heir-
looms languished, half forgotten of
their heedless owner.
The cash box combination offered
loss difficulty than had (he outer dial.
Maitland had it open in a twinkling.
Then, brarenly lifting out the Inner
framework bodily, he thrust a fum
tiling hand into the aperture thus dis-
closed and pressed the spring, re-
leasing the panel at the back. It dis-
appeared as though by witchcraft,
uml the splash of light from the bull's-
eye discovered a canvas bag squatting
liumbly iu the secret compartment; a
fat little canvas hag. considerably soiled
from much handling, such us Is used
by banks for coin, a sturdy, matter-of-
fact, every-day sort of canvas bag,
with nothing about It of hauteur, no
air of self-importance or ostentation,
to betray the fact that It was I he re-
ceptacle of a small fortune.
At Maitland's eur, Incredulous;
•‘How did you guess?" she breathed.
lie took thought and lirealb, both
briefly, dnd prevaricated shamelessly:
“Bribed the head clerk of the safe
manufacturer who built this."
Rising, he passed over to the center
table, the girl following. "Steady with
the light." he whispered; and loosed
the string around the mouth of the
bag. pouring its contents, a glistening,
priceless, tlainlng, lridiscent treasure
horde, upon the table.
"Oh!” said a small voice at his side.
Ami again and again; "Oh, Oh! Oh!"
Maitland himself was moved by the
wonder of it. The jewels seemed to
till the room with a flashing, amazing,
coruscant glamour, ralubow-llke. His
breath came hot aud fast as he gaxed
upon the trove; a queen's ramsom. a
fortune incalculable even to Its owner.
As for the girl, he thought that tho
wonder of It must have struck her
dumb. Not a sound came from the
Spot where she stood
Then, abruptly, the sun went out;
at least, such was the effect; the light
of the hand lamp vanished utterly,
leaving a partly-colored blur swim-
ming ugalnst the Impenetrable black-
ness, before his eyes.
His lips opened; but a small hand
fell firmly upon his own. and a tiny,
tremulous whisper shrilled in his ear.
"Hush—ah, hush!”
"What—?"
"Steady . . . some one coming.
. . . the jewels.”
He heard the dull musical clash of
them as her hands swept them back
into the bag, and a cold, sickening fear
rendered him almost faint with the
sense of trust misjdaced, illusion re-
solved into brutal realities. His Angers
closed convulsively about her wrists;
but she held passive.
"Ah, hut I might have expected
that!" came her reproachful whisper.
"Take them. then, my—my partner
that was." Her tone cut like a knife,
und the touch of the canvas hag, as
she forced it into his bauds, was hate-
ful to him.
"Forgive me—” he began.
"But listen!"
For a space he obeyed, the silence
nt first seeming tremendous; then,
faint but distinct, ho heard the tinkle
aud slide of the brazen rings support-
ing the smoking room portiere.
His hand sought the girl's; she had
not moved, and the cool, firm pressure
of her lingers steadied him. He
thought quickly.
"Quick!" he told her in the least of
whispers. "Heave by the window you
oi*med and wait for me by the motor
cv.r."
"No!"
There was no time to remonstrate
with her. Already he had slipped away,
shaping a course for the entrance to
the passage. But the dominant thought
in his mind was that at all costs the
girl must he spared the exposure. She
wr.s to be saved, whatever the hazard.
Afterwards—
The tapestry rustled, hut he was
yet too far distant to spring. He
crept on with the crouching, vicious
attitude, mental and physical, of a
panther stalking its prey.
Hike a thunderclap from a clear sky
the glare of the light broke out from
the ceiling. Maitland paused, trans-
fixed, on tiptoe, eyes Incredulous, brain
striving to grapple with the astounding
discovery that had come to him.
The third factor stood in the door-
way. slender and tall, In evening dress
—as was Maitland a light, full over-
coat hanging open from his Bhoulders;
one bund bolding back llie curtain, the
other arrested on the light switch. His
lips dropped open and his eyes, too,
were protruding with amazement. Fes
tr.re for featuro he was the counter-
part of the man before him; in a word,
here was the real Antsty.
The wonder of It all saved the day
for Maitland; Anlsty's astonishment
was sincere and the more complete
lu that, unlike Maitland, he bud been
unprepared
library.
For a mere second his gaze left
Maitland and traveled on to the girl,
then to the rifled safe—taking in the
whole significance of the scene. When
he spoke. It was as if dazed.
"By God!" he cried—or, rather, the
syllables seemed to jump from his
lips like bullets from a gun.
The words shattered the tableau. On
their echo Maitland sprang and fas-
tened his fingers around the other’s
throat. Carried off his feet by the
sheer ferocity of the assault, Anlsty
gave ground a little. For an Instant
they were swaying back and forth,
with advantage to neither. Then the
burglar’s collar slipped and somehow
tore from Its otud, giving Maitland's
hands freer play. His grasp tightened
about the man's gullet; he shook him
mercilessly. Anlsty staggered, gasi>ed,
reeled, struck Maitland once or twice
| upon the chest—feeble, weightless el-
bow Jabs that went for nothing, then
concentrated his energies in a vain
1 attempt to wrench the hands from his
throat. Keeling, tearing at Maitland’s
wrists, face empurpling, eyes staring
in agony, he stumbled. Mercilessly
Maitland forced him to his knees and
bullied him across the floor toward the
nearest lounge—with premeditated de-
sign; finally succeeding In throwing
him flat; and knelt upon hla chest, r»
talning his grip but refraining from
throttling him.
As It was. all strength and thought
of resistance had been choked out of
Anisly. He lay at length, gasping
painfully.
Maitland glanced over his shoulders
aud saw the girl moving forward, ap-
parently making for the switch.
"No!” he cried, peremptorily. "Don’t
turn off the light—please!”
"But—" she doubted.
"Let me have those curtain corda, If
you please," he requested, shortly.
She followed his gaze to the win-
dows, Interpreted his wishes, and was
very quick to carry them out. In a
trice she was offering him half a
dozen of the heavy, twisted silk cords
that had been used to loop back the
curtains.
Soft yet strong, they were excellent-
ly well adapted to Maitland's needs.
Unceremoniously he swung his captive
over on his side, bringing his neck and
ankles in juxtaposition to the legs of
that substantial piece of furniture, the
lounge.
His hands, the first to be secured, and
tightly, behind his back, Anlsty lay
helpless, glaring vindictively the while
gradually he recovered consciousness
and strength. Maitland cared little
for his evil glances; he was busy. The
burglar's ankles were next bound to-
gether and to the lounge leg; and, an
Instant later, a brace of half-hitches
about the man's neck and the nearest
support entirely eliminated him as a
possible factor In subsequent events.
"Those loops around your throat,'
Maitland warned him curtly, "are
loose enough now, but if you struggle
they’ll tighten and strangle you. Un-
derstand?”
Anisty nodded, making an inco-
herent sound with hfs swollen tongue.
At which Maitland frowned, smitten
thoughtful with a new consideration.
"You mustn't talk, you know." he
mused half aloud; and. whipping forth
a handkerchief, gagged Mr. Anisty.
After which, breathing hard and In a
maze of perplexity, he got to his feet.
Already his hearing, qlilckened by the
emergency, had apprised him of the
situation's imminent hazards. It
needed not the girl's hurried whisper,
“The servants!” to warn him of their
danger. From the rear wing o4 the
mansion the sounds of hurrying feet
were distinctly audible, as, presently,
were the heavy, excited voices of men
and the more shrill and frightened
cries of women.
Heedless of her displeasure, Mait-
land seized the girl by the arm and
urged her over to the open window.
"Don't hang back!” he told her ner-
vously. "You must get out of this be-
fore they see you. Do as 1 tell you,
please, and we'll save ourselves yet!
If we both make a run for it, we're
lost. Don't you understand?"
“So. Why?” she demanded, reluc-
tant, spirited, obstinate—and lovely in
his eyes.
"If he were anybody else,” Maitland
indicated, with a jerk of his head to-
ward the burglar. "But didn’t you
see? He must be Maitland—and he's
my double. I’ll slay, brazen it out,
then, us soon as possible, make my es-
cape and Join you by the gate. Your
motor's there—wait! Be ready for
tne"
But she had grasped his intention
and was suddenly become pliant to his
will. “You’re wonderful!” she told
him with a little low laugh; and was
gone, silently as a spislt.
The curtains fell behind her in long,
straight folds; Maitland stilled their
swaying with a touch, and stepped
back into the room. For a moment he
caught the eye of the fellow on the
floor; it was upturned to his, sardonic-
ally "intelligent. But the lord of the
manor had little time to debate con-
sequences.
Abruptly the door was flung wide
and a short stout man. clutching uj>
his trousers with a frantic hand, burst
Into the library, brandishing over-
head a rampant revolver.
" ‘Ands hup!" he cried, leveling at.
Maitland. And then, with a fallen
countenance: "G-r-r-reat 'eavins, sir!
You, Mister Maitland, Air!"
“Ah, Higgins,” his employer greeted j
the butler blandly.
Higgins pulled up, thunderstruck,
panting and perspiring with agitation.
His fat cheeks quivered like the wat- I
t les of a gobbler, and his eyes bulged ,
as, by degrees, he became alive to the 1
situation.
Maitland began to explain, forestall- i
iug the embarrassments of cross-exam-
iuation.
"By the merest accident, Higgins, 11
was passing in my car With a party at
friends. Just for a Joke I thought I’d
steal up to the house and see bow you
were behaving yourselves. By chance
—again—I happened to see this light
through the library windows.” And
Maitland, putting an incautious hind
ujon the bull's-eye on the desk, with-
drew it Instantly, with at exclamation
of annoyance and four scotched fin-
gers.
' He’s been at the safe.” he added
quickly, diverting attention from him-
self. "I was Just in time."
"My wor-r-rd!” said Higgins, with
emotion. Then quickly; "Did 'e get
anythin', do you think, sir?”
Maitland shook his head, scowling
over the butler's burly shoulders at the
rapidly augmenting concourse of serv-
ants in the hallway—lackeys, grooms,
maids, cooks, and what-not; a back-
ground of pale, scared faces to the
tableau In the library. “This won’t
do,” considered Maitland. “Get back,
all of you!” he -rdered, sternly, indi-
cating the group with a dominant and
inflexible forefinger. "Those who aru
wanted will be sent for. Now fcBl
Higgins, you may stay."
"Yes, sir. Yes, sir. But wot an
’orrid 'appenln', sir, if you'll permit
me—"
"1 won't. Be quiet and listen. This
man is Anlsty—Handsome Dan Anlsty,
the notorious Jewel thief, wanted badly
by the police of a dozen cities. You
understand? . . . I'm going now
to motor to the village and get ths
constables; I may," he Invented, des-
perately, “be delayed—may have to get
a detective from Brooklyn. If this
scoundrel stirs, don't touch him. Let
him alone—he can’t escape if you do.
Above all things, don't you dare to re-
move that gag!”
"Most cert’inly, sir. I shall bear ia
mind wot you says—”
"You'd best,” grimly. "Now I'm off.
No; I don’t want any attendance—I
know my way. And—don't—touch—
that man—till I return."
"Very good, sir.”
Maitland stepped over to the safe,
glanced within, cursorily, replaced a
bundle of papers which he did not re-
call disturbing, closed the door and
twirled the combination.
"Nothing gone," he announced. An
'Inarticulate gurgle from the prostrate
man drew a black scowl from Mait-
land. Recovering, “Good morning," he
said politely to the butler, and striding
out of the house by the front door,
was careful to slam that behind him,
ere darting into the shadows.
The moon was down, the sky a cold,
opaque gray, overcast with a light
drift of cloud. The park seemed very
dark, very dreary; a searching breeze
was sweeping inland from the sound,
soughing sadly In the tree tops; a
chill humidity permeated the air, pre-
cursor of rain. The young man shiv-
ered. both with chill and reaction from
the tension of the emergency Just past.
He was aware of an instantaneous
loss. of heart, a subsidence of the
elation which had upheld him through-
out the adventure; and to escape this,
to forget or overcome It, took Imme-
diately to his heels, scampering madly
for the road, oppressed with fear lest
he Bhould find the girl gone—with the
jewels. ,
That she should prove untrue, faith-
less, lacking even that honor which
pioverbially obtains in the society of
cilminals—a consideration of such a
possibility was intolerable, as much
so as the suspense of Ignorance. He
could not, would not, believe her
capable of Ingratitude so rank; and
fought fiercely, unreasonlngly, against
the conviction that she would have fol-
lowed her thievish instincts and
made off with the booty. ... A
judgment meet and right upon him
for his madness! y
Heart In mouth, he reached the
gates, passing through without dis-
covering her, and was struck dumb
and witless with relief when she
stepped quietly from the shadows of
a low branching tree, offering him a
guiding hand.
‘‘‘Come,” she said, quietly. “This
way."
Without being exactly conscious of
what he was about he caught the
hand In both his own. "Then.” he ex-
ulted almost passionately—“then you
didn’t—”
His velce choked In his throat. 'Her
face, momentarily upturned to hla,
gleamed pale and weary in the dreary
light; the face of a tired ~ child,
troubled, saddened; yet with eyes In-
expressibly sweet. She turned army,
tugging at her hand.

The Improper selection of food
drives many a healthy person into the
depths of despairing illness. Indeed,
much sickness comes from wrong food
and just so surely as that is the case
right food will make the sun shine

sick and went to bed, losing 47 pounds
in about 60 days. I had doctor after

almost entirely on magnesia and soda.

little streams.
“I had terrible night sweats, and my
doctor finally said I had consumption
and must die. My good wife gave up
all hope. We were at Old Orchard,
Me., at that time and my wife saw
Grape-Nuts In a grocery there. She
bought some and persuaded me to
try It.
“I had no faith In It, but took it to
