During his walk to tlio country seat, ho met tlio young woman In (trav. whom he laid seen leav ing his bachelors' club. Her auto had nroken down. Ho fixed It. CHAPTER II. Continued. "Don't!" she insisted as much as .0 say that he was fabricating and she knew it! "Wo must hurry, you know, because . -. . There, I've- dropped my hnndkerchlof! By tho treo, there.' Do you mind?" "Of .course not." Ho set off swiftly toward the point Indicated, but on roachlng It cast about vainly for any thing In the nature of a handkerchief. In tho midst of which futile quest a change of tempo In tho motor's Im patient drumming surprised him. Startled, he looked up. Too late; the girl was in tho seat, the car In motion already some yards from tho point at which ho had left it. Dis mayed, he. strode forward, raising his voice In perturbed expostulation. But I say!" Over tho rear of tho seat a gray gauntlet was waved at him, as tanta lizing as the mocking laugh that came to his ears. He paused, thunderstruck, appalled by this monstrosity of ingratitude. The machine gathered Impetus, drawing swiftly nway. Yet in the still ness the farewell of the gray girl came to him very clearly. "Good-by!" with a laugh. "Thank vou and good-by Handsome Dau!" length, with an exclamation, ho pauROil at tho first opening in the living bar rier a wido entrance from which a blue-stone carrlugo drlvo wound away to the houso, invisible in tho waning light, situate In tho snoiter 01 wiu grovo of treos that studdod tho lawn. "Gasoline! Hrrr!" said Maltland, shuddering and shivering with tho combination of a nauseous odor and tho night's coolness tho latter by now making ltsolf ns unpleasantly promt ntnt as tho former. Though he hntcil tho smell with nil his heart, manfully Inconsistent he raised his bend, snining tho air for. further evidence; and got his reward in a rlckenlng gust. "Tf(ik leaked," ho commented with brevity. "Quart of tlio Bluff must have trickled out right l'loro. Ugh! If it goes on at this rate, there'll bo another breakdown before sho gots .home." And, "Servo her riglit, too!" ho growled, vindictive. But for all his Indignation ho ac knowledged a sneaking wish that he might bo athnmfagnln, In such event, a second time to give gratuitous serv ice to his gray Indy. Analyzing tills frame of mind (not without surprise and some disdain of TIiobo oponod from colling to floor and Bhould by right have presented to his vision a blank oxpanBO of dark glnBB. But, oddly enoiigh, oven whllo thinking of his lawyer's warning, ho had fanciod. . . . "Ah I" Bald Maltland, aoftly. A disk of whlto light, porhnps a foot or 18 lnchos in dlatnotor, had flitted swiftly across tho ghiBB and vanished. "Ah, ah! Tho dovll, tho dovifi" murmured tho young man, uncon sciously. Tho light appearod again, dancing athwart tho Inner wnll of tho room, and was lost as abruptly as boforo. On linpulso Mnltlaml buttoned his top coat across his chest, turning up tho collar to hido his llnon, darted stealthily n yard or two to ono Bldo, and with ono noiseless bound ronohod tlio lloor of tho veranda. A breath lator ho slcod by tho front door, whoro, nt (lrst glanco, ho discovered tho moans of ontranco usod Jiy tho mldulght mn raudor; tho doors stood ajar, u black interval HhoWlng botwecn thorn. So that, thon, was tho way! Cau tiously Maltland put a hand upon tho knob and pushed. A cliarp, ponotrutlng squcnk brought him to an abrupt standstill, hrnrt hnm- morlnc shamefully again. Gathorlng himself to spring, Ifpieed bo, ho cropt back toward tlio library windows,- nnd rcconnolterlng cautiously dotormlnoil tho fact that tho bolts had Just boon withdrawn on the insido of dno win dow frame, which was swinging wldo "It's a wise crook that provldos his own quick exit," considered Maltland Tho sagacious ono wns not, nppur nntiv. leaving at that moment On the contrary, having made all things ready for a hurried ilislit upon tho llrst alarm, the Intruder turned back, as was clearly Indicated by tho motion of the light within, Tho clink or steel tnnehlni: stocl became nudlblo; nnd Maltland nodded.

Standing In the middle of tho road watching the . dust cloud that trailed the fast disappearing motor car, Mr. Maltland cut a figure sufllclently for lorn and disconsolate to have distilled pity from the least sympathetic heart. His hands were thrust stiflly at full arnTs length Into his trousers pockets; a rumpled silk hat was set awry on the back of his head; his shirt bosom was sadly crumpled; above the knees, to a casual glance, he presented the appearance of a man carefully attired In evening dress; below, his legs were sodden and muddied, his shoes of patent leather, twin wrecks. Alas for Jauntlness and elegance, alack for ease and aplomb!. "Tricked," observed Maltland, cas ually, and protruded his lower lip, thus adding to the length of a counten ance naturally long.- "Outwitted by a chit of a girl! Dammit!" But this was crude melodrama. Real izing which, he strove to smile; a sor ry failure. '"Handsome Dan.'" quoted he; ana cocking his hqad to one side eyea the road Inquiringly. "Where in thun der d'you suppose she got hold of that name?" Bestowed upon him In callow col lege days, It had stuck burr-like for many a weary year. Of late, however, Its use had lapsed among his acquain tances; he had begun to congratulate himself upon having lived it down. And now It was- resurrected, flung at him in slncerest mockery by a woman whom, to his knowledge, he had nevor before laid eyes upon. Odious appella tion, hateful invention of an ingenious enemy! '"Handsome Dan!' Sho must havo known mo all the time all the time I was making an exhibition of myself. . . 'Wentworth?' I know no one of that name, who the dickens can she be?" If It had not been contrary to his code of ethics, ho would gladly have raved, gnashed his teeth, footed tho dance of rage with his shadow. In deed, his restraint was admirable, the circumstances considered. He did nothing whatever but stand still for a matter of Ave minutes, vainly racking his memory for a clue to tho identity of "Miss Wcntworth." At length he gave it up in despair and abstractedly felt for his watch fob. Which wasn't there, Neither, Investi gation developed, was tho watch. At which crowning atroito or misioriunu the timepiece must havo Bllpped from his pocket Into the water while he wa3 tinkering with that infamous carbureter Maltland turneu eloquent ly red in tho face, "Tho nrice," ho meditated aiouu, with an effort to resume hla poso, "Is a high ono to pay for a wave of a gray glovo and the echo or a pretty laugn. With which linai lung at i omnia u set off again ror waitianu Manor, trudging heavily but at a round pace through tho dust that soon settled upon tho damp cloth or nis trousers legs and completed their ruination. But Maltland" was beyond being dis turbed by such trifles, A wounded vanity engaged his soncituao to me oxclusion of all other interests. At the end of 45 minutes ho hail ,.-n,i I in remaining uismnce wu- Itvnnn Oreenfleld station and Maltland Jlanor.

At That Very Moment the Safe Was Being Attacked. him who weakly entertained It) ho crossed the drlvo and struck in over tho lawn, shaping his course direct for tiie front entrance of tho house. By dead reckoning tho hour was twoi or something lator; and a chill was stealing In upon tho land, wafted gently" southward from Long Island sound. All tho world bosldo himself scorned to slumber, breathless, In sensate. Wralth-like, gray shreds of mist drifted between tho serried holes of trees, or, rising, veiled the moon's wan and pallid face, that now was low upon the horizon. In sllont rivalry long and velvet-black shadows skulked across tho ample breadths of dew drenched grass. Somewhere a bird stirred on Its unseen perch, chirping sleepily; and In tho rapt silence tho Inconsldorablo Interruption broke with startling stress. In time not long tho houso lifted Into view; a squat, rambling block of uomo-grown architecture with llttlo to rocommond It savo Its kcon associa tions and its comfort. At tho cd'go of tho woods tho lord and master paused Indefinitely, with llttlo purposo, sur Voylng Idly tho pale, columned facado, ana wondering whether or not his en trance nt that ungodly hour would rouse tho staff of house servants. If It did not ho contemplated with mild amusement tho prospect of tholr sur prise when, morning come, they should ltnd tho ownor In occupation. "Bannerman was right," ho con codod; "any " Tho syllablos dlod upon his Hps; his gazo became fixed; his heart thumped wildly for an Instant, thon rested still; nnd lnstinctlvoly ho hold his breath, tlp-toolng to tho edge of tho veranda the bettor to command a view of tho Ubraiv windows. moment deed JiiKtlflod; nt that very tho safe was bolng attacked. Maltlnnd returned noiselessly to tho door. Ills mouth had settled Into n hard, unyloldlng, thin lino; nnd a dnn gcroiiB light lllckorod In his oyos. Temporarily tho Idler had stepped jisldo, giving placo to tho real man that was Maltland tho man ready to fight for hla own, naked hands ngalnst flienrms, if It need bo. True, he had but to stop Into tho gunroom to find weapons In plenty; but thoso must bo thon loaded to bo of sorvlco. nnd precious momonta wasted In tho pro cess moments In which tho burglar might gain access to and malio off with his booty. Maltland had no notion whatovor of ponnlttlng anything of tho sort to occur. Ho countod upon taking his onomy unawnres, difficult as ho ho lleved such a feat would bo. In tho caso of a professional .crncksmnn. Down tho hallway ho groped his way to tho library door, his llngors at longth encountering Us panels; It'wns closed, doubtless secured upon tho in sido; tho slightest movement of tho hnndlo was calculated to alarm tho housebreaker, Maltland paused, dollb crating anothor and hotter plan, hav ing In mind a short passageway con nectlng library nnd smoking room. In tho library ltsolf a heavy tapestry cur tained Its opening, whllo an equally heavy portloro took tho placo of a door at tho othor ond. In tho natural ordor of things a burglar would ovorloolt this, Inch by Inch tho young man edged Into tho smoking room, tho door to which providentially stood unclosed Onco within, It was but a momont'B work to feel his way to tho velvot foldc and draw them aside, fortunately J " ....Mia girl, now ti nt no , tho same time ho wa W by her persistent repetition esconi nicit a "Handsome Dan." be 41.. lWltV (1(1 IV - mechanically. ! mett!cl ,hat. please?
