Medical inspection in the English
schools shows a physical degeneracy

England's national nervousness
finds new expression. Every time
there is a scare of any kind they go to
work over there to build more Dread-

soon be monopolizing ocean room.
According to Greek opinion, the
Turk is "still dreaming of the hour
when Greece, her knee in stippliance
bent, will tremble at his power." The
Turk, however, has troubles of his

of his doing much in the way of
dreaming.
The chief mine inspector of Penn
sylvania declares officially that in his
opinion few of the accidents in the an-
thracite mines last year were caused
by anything but carelessness. And
human carelessness is something
against which no safely device has
been found always effective.
Don Jaime, son of Don Carlos and
claimant to the Spanish throne, says
he has no intention of interfering in
the present row. That shows good
sense. It is safer to be an Inactive
pretender than be a too active offend-
er. Whatever may be the outcome,
there is no indication that Spain has
any real hankering for a Carlist ruler.
The success of the typhoid experi-
ments at Fort Omaha. Neb., will en-
courage belief that this scourge of hu-
manity, and especially dread of the
soldier during war. has at last been
circumvented. The immunizing of sol-
diers by vaccination with an anti-ty-
phoid serum appears to have made
those who subjected themselves to the
test completely immune.
The young monarchs of Spain and
Portugal certainly are having their
troubles. By the irony of fate they
seem selected to deal with emergen-
cies which the experience and wisdom
of gray heads might well find per
plexing.
Stability in government is maltirs

Now Peru wants to fight Chili, and
Turkey declares it will never give up

Ket Ids family Jewels. During his walk
lo the connlry seat, he met the yotinK

broken down. He fixed It. By a ruse she
"lost" hfm. Maftlnnd, on reaching home,

Anlsty. Half-hypnotized, Maltland opened
bis safe, took therefrom the Jewels, and
gave them to her, first forming a part-
nership In crime. The real Dan Anlsty,
sought by police of the wolid, appeared
on the same mission Mall land overcame
hlni. He met the girl outside the house
and they sited on to New York In her au-
to. He had the Jewels and she promised
to meet him that day. Maltland received
a "Mr. Snalth." introducing himself as a
detective. To shield the girl In gray,
Maltland, about to show Mm the Jew-
els, supposedly lost, was felled by a blow
from "Smith's" cane. The latter proved
to be Anlsty himself and he secured the
wins. Anlsty. who was Maltland's dou-
ble, masqueraded as the latter. The
criminal kept Maltland's engagement with
the ffirl In gruy.
CHAPTER VII.—Continued.
It was very plain—to a deductive
reasoner—from the girl's attitude to-
ward him thaV she had fallen Into re-
lations of uncommon friendliness with
this Maitland, young as Anlsty be-
lieved their acquaintance to be. There
had plainly been tv flirtation—where-
in lay the explanation of Maitland's
forbearance; he had been fascinated
by the woman, had not hesitated to
take Anisty's name (even as Anisty
was then taking his) in order to pro-
long their intimacy.
So much the better. Turn about
was still fair play. Maitland had sown
as Anisty; the real Anisty would reap
the harvest. Pretty women interested
him deeply, though he saw little enough
of them, partly through motives of
prudence, partly because of a refine-
ment of taste: women of the class of
this conquest-by-proxy were out of
reach of the enemy of society. That
i3, under ordinary circumstances. This
one, on the contrary, was not; what-
ever she was or had been, however
successful a crackswoman she might
be, her cultivation and breeding were
as apparent as her beauty; and quite
as attractive.
A criminal is necessarily first a gam-
bler, a votary of Chance; and the
blind goddess had always been very
kind to Mr. Anisty. He felt that here
again she was favoring him. Maitland
he had eliminated from this girl's life;
Maitland had failed to keep his en-
gBgement. and so would never again
be called upon to play the part of
burglar with her interest for incentive
and guerdon. Anisty himself could
take up where Maitland had left off.
Easily enough. The difficulties were
insignificant; he had only to play up
to Maitland's standard for a while, to
be Maltland with all that gentleman's
advantages, educational and social,
then gradually drop hack to his own
level and be himself, Dan Anisty.
"Handsome Dan," the professional, the
fit mate for the girl.
What was she saying?
"But you have lunched already!"
with an appealing pout.
"Indeed, no!" he protested, earnest-
ly. "I was early—conceive my eager-
ne«s!—and by ill chance a friend of
mine insisted upon lunching with me.
1 had only a cop of coffee and a roll."
He motioned to the waiter, callln«
he could not nfford the least slip be-
fore a woman as Won as this.
"Lay a clean cloth and bring the
bill of fare," ho demanded, tempering
his lordly Instincts and adding the
"please" thai men of Multland's stamp
ut.e to Inferiors.
"A friend!" tardily echoed the girl
when the servant was gone.
He laughed lightly, determined to
be frank. "A detective, in point of
fact," said he. And he enjoyed her sur-
prise.
"You have many such?"
"For convenience one tries to have
one in each city."
"And this—?"
"Ob, I have him fixed, all right. He
confided to me all the latest develop-
ments and official intentions with re-
gard to the Maitland arrest."
Her eyes danced. "Tell me!" she
demanded, Imperious; the emphasis of
intimacy irresistible as she bent for-
ward, forearms on the cloth, slim
while hands clasped with tense im-
patience, eyes seeking his.
"Why ... of course Maitland
escaped."
"No!"
"Fact. Scared the butler into un-
gngging him; then, in a fit of pardon-
able rage, knocked that fool down and
dashed out of the window—presum-
ably in pursuit of us. Up to a late
hour he hadn't returned, and police
opinion is divided as to whether Mait-
land arrested Anisty, and Anisty got
away, or vice versa."
"Excellent!" She clasped her hands
noiselessly, a gay little gesture.
"So, whatever the outcome, one thing
is certain: Higgins will presently be
seeking another berth."
She lifted her brows prettily. "Hig-
gins?"—with the rising inflection.
"The butler. Didn't you hear—?"
Eyes wondering, she moved her head
slowly from side to side. "Hear what?"
"I fancied, that you had waited a
moment on the veranda," he finessed.
"Oh, I was quite too frightened."
He took this for a complete denial.
Better and better! He had actually
feared she had eavesdropped, how-
ever warrantably; and Maltland's
authoritative way with the servants
had been too convincingly natural to
have deceived a woman of her keen
wits.
There followed a lull while Anisty
was ordering the luncheon; something
he did elaborately and with success,
telling himself humorously: "Hans
the expense! Maltland pays." Of
which fact ihe weight in his pocket
was. assurance.
Maitland. . . . Anisty's thoughts
verged off upon -an interesting tan-
gent. What was Maitland's motive in
arranging this meeting? It was self-
evident that the twain were of one
world—the girl and the man of fash-
ion. But. whatever her right of her-
itage, she bad renounced it, deolassing
herself by yielding to thievish in-
stincts, voluntarily placing herself on
tLe level of Anisty. Where she must
remain, for ever.
There was comfort in that reflection.
He glanced up to find her eyes bent in
gravity upon him. She. too, It ap-;
peared. had fallen a prey to reverie. [
Upon what subject? An

Mr. Anlsty to Ills Inner limn, sluing

The girl placated him with au Inslg

maze of meaningless but in finitely di-
verting Inconsequences; diverting, at
least. 10 Anlsty, who held up his head,
giving her back look for look, jeat for
Jert, platitude for platitude iwhen the
waiter was within hearing distance);
altogether, he felt, acqultilng himself
very creditably.
As for the girl, in the course of the
next half or three-quarioj-s of an hour
she demonstrated herself conclusively
a person of untaxing resource, tie-
veloplng with admirable Ingenuity a
campaign planned on the spur of a
chance observation. The gentle man-
nered and self sufllclent crook was
taken captive before he realized It,
however willing he may have been.
Enmeshed In a hundred uncompre-
bended subtleties, ho basked, purring,
the while she insinuated, herself be-
neath his guard and stripped him of
his entire .armament of cunning, vigi-
lance, Invention, suspicion, and dis-
trust.
He relinquished them without n
sigh, barely conscious of the spolia-
tion. After all, she was of his trade,
herself mired with guilt; she would
never dare betray him, the conse-
qeenct'S to herself would be so dire.
Besides, patently—almost too much
so—she admired him. He was her
hero. Had she not more than hinted
tbat such was Ihe case, that his ex-
ample, his exploits, had fired her to
emulation—however weakly feminine?
... He saw her before him. dainty,
alluring, yielding, yet leading him on—
altogether desirable. And so long had
ho, Anlsty, starved for affection!
"I am sure vou must be dying for a
smoke,"
"Beg pardon!" He awoke abruptly,
to find himself twirling the sharp-
ribbed stem of his empty glass. Ab-
s'.ractedly he stared into this, as
though seeking there a clue to what
they had been talking about. Hazlly
he understood that they had been
drifting close upon the perilous shoals
of intimate personalities. What had
he told her? What had he not?
No matter. It was clearly to be seen
that her regard for him had waxed
rither than waned as a result of their
conversation. One had but to look
Into her eyes to be reassured as to
tbat. One did look, breathing heavily.
. . . What an Ingenuous child it
was, to show him her heart so freely!
He wondered that this should be so,
fsellng it none the less a just and
g-.aceful tribute to his fascinations-
She repeated her arch query. She
was sure he wanted to smoke.
Indeed he did—If she would permit?
And forthwith Maitland's cigarette
case was produced, with a flourish.
"What a beautiful case!"
In an instant it was In her hands.
"Beautiful!" she Iterated, inspecting
the delicate tracery of the monogram
engraver's art—head bended forward,
face shaded by the broad-brimmed hat.

and Anlaiy waa vaguely conscious of |

a hand whose sheer perfection waa hut
enhanced by Ihe ripe curves of a
r'ltinded forearm. . He Inhaled
deeply, with satisfaction.
Undetected by him, the girl swiftly
passed a furtive handkerchief across
her Hps. When he to iki'd again ahe
waa Mulling and the golden case had
d.iiappeared.
She shook her head at htm In mock
reprovtol. "Bold muii!" ahe culled him;
but the crudity of ii was lost uimhi htm,

mcnicnt hod come fur vigorous meas-
ures, she fell, guile having paved the
way.
"Why do you cull me that?"
"To appear so openly running the
gauntlet of the detectives."
"Eh?"—startled.
"Of course you saw." sho Insisted.
"Saw? No. Saw what?"
"Why. . . . perhaps I am mis-
taken, but 1 thought you knew and
t listed to your likeness to Mr. Malt-
land."
Anlsty frowned, collecting himself,
bewildered. "What are you driving at,
anyhow?" lie demanded, roughly.
"Didn't you see the detocllves? 1
should have thought your man would
have warned you. I noticed four loft-
ing round the entrance, as 1 came In,
and feared—"
"Why didn't you tell me. then?"
"I have just told you the reason. I
supposed you were In your disguise."
"That's so." The alarmed expres- I
slon gradually faded, although he re-
mained troubled. ^"I sure am Maltland j
to the life," he continued with satis- I
faction. "Even the head-waiter—"
"And of course," she insinuated, dell-
citely, "you have disposed of the
loot?"
He shook his head gloomily. "No
time, as yet."
Her dismay was evident. "You don't
mean to say—?"
"In my pocket."
"Oh!" She glanced stealthily
a-ound. "In your pocket!" she whis-
pered. "And—and if they stopped
you—"
"I am Maitland."
"But If they insisted on searching
you. . . ." She was round-eyed with
apprehension.
"That's so!" Her perturbation was
Infectious. His jaw dropped.
"They would find the jewels—known
to be stolen—"
"By God!" he cried, savagely.
"Dan!"
"I—I beg your pardon. But . . .
what am I to do? You are sure—?"
"McClusky himself is on the nearest
conn*!"
"Phew!" he whistled; and stared at
her, searchingly, through a lengthen-
ing pause.
"Dan . . ." said she at length.
"Yes?"
"There Is a way."
"Go on."
"Last night, Dan"—she raised her
glorious eyes to his—"last night, I
. . . I trusted you."
His face hardened ever so slightly;
yet when he took thought the tense
lines about his eyes and mouth soft-
ened. And she drew a deep breath,
knowing that she had all but won.
"I trusted you," she continued soft-
ly "Do you know what that means?
I trusted you."
