CHAPTER XVII— Continued
“You dropped it in the trunk-closet
t found it there There is something
of mine in It?”
Dumb with misery she nodded and
after a little: “You didn’t look of
course”
“I had no right” he said shortly
“Other men wo-would have thought
they had the right I th-think you
had the circumstances considered At
all events" steadying- her voice “I
say you have now I give you that
right Please go and investigate that
hand-bag Mr Maitland I wish you to”
He turned and Btared at her curious-
ly “I don’t know what to think” he
said ’ “I can not believe — ”
“You mu-must believe I have no
right to profit by your disbelief Dear
Mr Maitland you have been kind to
me very kind to me do me this last
kindness if you will”
The young face turned to him was
gravely and perilously sweet very
nearly he forgot all else "But that
she would not have
“Do this for me What you will find
will explain everthing You will un-
derstand Perhaps” — timidly — "per-
haps you may even find it in your
heart to forgive when you understand
If you should my card-case is in the
bag and — ” She faltered biting her
lip cruelly to steady a voice quivering
with restrained sobs "Please please
go at once and — and see for yourself!”
she implored him passionately
Of a qudden he found himself re-
solved Indeed he fancied that it
were dangerous to oppose her she
was overwrought on the verge of los-
ing her command of self She wished
this thing and though with all his soul
he hated it he would do as she de-
sired “Very well” he assented quietly
‘Shall-1 stop the cab now?”
“Please”
He tapped on the roof of the han-
som and told the cabby to draw in at
the next corner Thus he was put
down not far from his home — below
the Thirty-third street grade
Neither spolte as he alighted and
she believed that he was leaving her
In displeasure and abhorrence but he
had only stepped behind the cab for a
moment to speak to the driver In a
moment he was back standing by the
step with one hand on the apron and
staling In very earnestly and soberly
at the shadowed sweetness of her pal-
lid face that gleamed In the gloom
there like some pale shy sad flower
i Could there be evil combined with
such sheer loveliness with features
that in every line bodied forth the
purity of the spirit that abode within?
Ih the soul of him he could not believe
thht d thief’s nature fed canker-like at
the'1' heart of a woman so divinely
naively dear and desirable And — he
would not
"Won’t you let me go?”
"Just fi ipinute I — I should like to
r— If I find that you have done nothing
so very dreadful” he laughed uneasi-
ly "do you wish to know?” -
"You know I do” She could not
"belp saying that letting him see that
far into her heart
“You spoke of my calling I believe
That means to-morrow afternoon at
the earliest May I not call you up on
the telephone?”
! “The number Is in the book” she
said in a tremulous voice
"And’ your name in the card-case?”
"Yes”
“And If I should call In half an
hour — ?"
"This Is Daniel Maitland
"O I shall not sleep until I know!
Good night!”
"Good night! Drive on cabby”
He stood Bmiling queerly until the
hansom climbing the Park Avenue
hill vanished over Us shoulder Then
swung about and with an eager step
retraced his way to his rooms very
confident that God was in his heaven
and all well with the world
III
The cab stopped The girl rose
and descended to the walk The driver
touched his hat and reined the horse
away "Good night ma’am” he bade
her cheerfully And she told him
"Good night” in her turn
For a moment she seemed a bit hesi-
tant and fearful left thus alone The
house in front of which she stood like
its neighbors reared a high facade to
the tender star-lit sky its windows
with drawn shades and no lights wear-
ing a singular look of blind patience
It had a high stoop and a sunken
area 1 There was a dull glow in one
of the basement windows
It was very late — or extremely early
The moon was down though its place
was in some way filled by the golden
disk of the clock in the Grand Central
station’s tower The air was impreg-
nated with the sweet and fragrant
breath of the new-born day In the
tunnel beneath the street a Volley car
rumbled and whined and clanked lone-
somely A stray cat wandered out of
a cross street with the air of a sea-
soned debauchee stopped scratched
Itself with Inimitable abandon and
suddenly mysteriously alarmed at
nothing turned Itself into a streak of
shadow that fled across the street and
vanished And as if affected by its
terror the gray girl slipped silently
into the area and tapped it the lighted
window
Almost immediately the gate was
cautiously opened A woman’s head
looked out with suspicion "Oh thank
Heavlngs!” It said with abrupt fer-
vor "I was afraid it mightn’t be you
Miss Sylvia I’m so glad you’re back
There ain’t — hasn’t been a minute
these past two nights that I haven't
been in a fidget"
The girl laughed quietly and passed
through the gateway (which was
closed behind her) into the basement
hall where she lingered a brief mo-
ment “My father Annie?” she inquired
“He ain’t — hasn’t stirred since you
went out Miss -Sylvia He’s Bleepin’
peaceful as a lamb” 1
“Everything is all right then?”
'‘Now that you’re home it Is praises
be!” The servant secured the inner
door and turned up the gas “Not if I
was to be given notice to-morrow
mornin’” she announced firmly “will
I ever consent to he a party to such
goln's-on another night”
“There will be no occasion Annie
said the girl “Thank you and — good
night”
A resigned sigh — “Good night Miss
Sylvia” — followed her up the stairs
- She went very cautiously careful to
brush against no article of movable
furniture In the halls at pains to make
no nolBe on the stairs At the door of
her father's room on the second floor
she stopped and listened for a full mo

ment but he was sleeping as quietly
as soundly as the servant had de-
clared Then on more hurriedly up
another flight to her own room where
she turned on the electric bulb in
panic haste For it had just occurred
to her that the telephone bell might
ring before she could change her cloth-
ing and get downstairs and shut her-
self Into the library whose closed door
would prevent the bell from being
audible through the house
In less than ten minutes she was
stealing silently down to the drawing
room floor again quiet as a spirit of
the night The library door shut with-
out a sound for the first time she
breathed freely - Then pressing the
button an the wall she switched on
the light In the drop-lamp on the cen-
ter table The telephone stood be-
side it ‘ —
She drew up a chair and sat down
near the instrument ready to lift the
receiver off its hook the instant the
hell began to sound and waited the
soft light burning in the loosened
tresses of her hair enhancing the soft
color that pulsed in her cheeks fading
before the joy that lived in her eyes
when she hoped
For she dared hope — at times and
at times could not hut fear So greatly
had she dared who greatly loved so
heavy upon her untarnished heart was
the burden of the sin that sne had put
upon it because she loved Perhaps
he would not call perhaps the world
was to turn cold and be forever gray
to her eyes He was even then decid-
ing at that very moment her happi-
ness hung in the scales of his mercy
If he could forgive
There was a click And her face
flamed scarlet as hastily she lifted the
receiver to her ear The armature
buzzed sharply Then central's voice
cut the stillness
“Hello! Nine-o-five-one?”
“Yes”
“Walt a minute”
She waited breathless in a quiver
The silence sang upon the wire the
silence of the night through which he
was groping toward her
“Hello! Is this nine-o — ”
“Yes yes!”
“Is this the residence of Alexander
C Graeme?”
“Yes” The syllable almost choked
her
“Is this Miss Graeme at the ’phone?”
“It Is” '
“Miss Sylvia Graeme?”
“Yes”
“This Is Daniel Maitland — Sylvia!”
“As if I did not know your voice!”
she cried Involuntarily
There followed a little pause and in
her throat the pulses tightened and
drummed
“I have opened the bag Sylvia — ”
“Please go on” 1
“And I’vo sounded the depths of
your hideous Infamy!”
“Oh!” He was laughing -
“I've done more I’ve made a burnt
offering within the last five minutes
Can you guess what it lq?"
“I — I — don’t want to guess! I want
to be told”
“A burnt offering on the altar of
your happiness dear The papers In

"Dan!”
“Sylvia— Does it please you?”
“Don’t you know? How can it do
anything but please me? If you knew
how I have suffered because my fa-
ther suffered fearing the — No hut
you must listen! Dan it was wearing
him down to his grave and I
thought—”
“You thought that if you could get
the papers and give them to him — ” -“Yes
I could see no harm because
he was as innocent as you — ”
“Of course But why didn’t you ask
me?”
“He did and you refused"
“But how could I tell Sylvia that
you were his daughter and that I
should — "
"Hush! Central will hear!”
"Central's got other things to do
besides listening to early morning con-
fabulations I love you” -“Dan”
“Yes?"
"I love— to hear you say so dear”
“Please say that last word over
again I didn’t get It”
“Dear”
“And that means that you'll mar-
ry me?”
A pause
"I say that means—"
“I heard you Dan”
"But It does doesn't it?”
"Yes”
' “When?” ’
"Whenever you please"
‘Til come up now”
"Don’t be a silly”'
-‘‘Well when then? To-day?"
“Yes— no!”
“But when?”
“To-morrow — I mean next week— I
mean next month”
“No to-day at four I’ll call for
you”
“But Dan”
"Sweetheart!”
“But you mustn’t! How can I — ”
“Easily enough There’s the Little-Church-Around-the-Corner
— “
“But I’v nothing to wear!"
“Oh!”
Another pause
“Dan You don’t wish it — truly?”
“I do wish It truly To-day at four
The Church of the Transfiguration
Yes I’ll scare up a best man If you’ll
find bridesmaids Now you will won’t
you?”
“I — If you wish It dear" -"I’ll
have to ask you to repeat that”
“I shan’t There!” -“Very
well” meekly “But will you
tell me one thing please?”
"What is it?”
“Where on earth did you get hold
of that kit of tools?”
She laughed softly "My big brother
caught a burglar once and kept the
kit for a remembrance I borrowed
them"
“Give me your big brother’s address
and I’ll send ’em back with my thanks
— No by George! I won’t either I’ve
as much right to keep ’em as he has
on that principle”
And again she laughed very gently
and happily Dear God that such hap
plness could come to one!
“Sylvia?”
“Yes dear?”
“Do you love me?”
“I think you may believe It when
I sit here at four o’clock in the morn-
ing listening to a silly hoy talk non-
sense over a telephone wire”
“But I want to hear you say so!”
"But central — ’’
”1 tell you central has other things
to do!”
At this juncture the voice of central
jaded and acidulated broke In curtly
“Are you through?”
THE END
Butter Boxes Made of Straw
In future "the boxes containing but
ter shipped from Queensland to Great
Britain are to be made of straw and
a £50000 company has been formed
to work the business Butter boxes
hitherto have been made of pine but
the drain upon this timber owing to
the heavy exports have been so se-
vere that tbe wood is rapidly going
up in price In one month (March
1908) over 50000 boxes of butter from
Queensland arrived In England—
1250 tons worth £140000 In the
new box a mixture of kaolin and straw
is used It can be produced and sold
for Is At present 3000000 boxes are
used in Australia annually costing
£200000 The new box will save
the dairy industry about £40000 a
year as tho material for manufactur-
ing the box can be grown in the pad-
dock which supports a ' cow It
weighs about 10' pounds being damp
proof and odorless
