"Ah, cut that, can't yeh?" Hickey
got oil all fours, found his cigar, stuck
It In his mouth, and fell Into place at
M aitland's side.
"Hickey, I mean. Hut how—”
"If yeh're Maitland, 'ml Anisty's at
the St. Luke Imlldln’, tell that fool up
there to drive!”
Maitland had no neetl to lift the
trap; the raldiy had ulready done
that.
"All right.'' the young man called.
"It's Detective Hickey. Drive on!"
The lash leaped out over the roof—
cr-rack!—and the horse, presumably
convinced that no speed other than a
dead run would ever again be de­
manded of It, tore frantically down the
avenue, the hansom rocking like a top­
sail-schooner In a heavy gale.
Maitland and the detective were hat
tered against the side and back of the
vehicle and slammed against one an
other with painful regularity, ru d er
such circumstances speech was dlttl
cult; yet they managed to exchange a
few sentences.
"Yeh gottuh gun?"
"Anisty's—two good cartridges”
"Jus’ as well I'm along, I guess.”
And again; "How'd yeh s'pose An­
lsty got this cab?"
"I don't know—must 've been In the
house— I told cabby lo watt -Anlsty
seems to have walked out right on
your heels.”
“Hell!" And a moment later:
“W hat's this about a woman In the
case ?”
Maitland took swift thought on her
behalf.
“Too long lo go Into now," he parried
the query. "You help me estch this
scoundrel Anlsty and I'll put In a
good word for you with the deputy
commissioner."
“Ah. yeh help me nab him." grunted
the detective, " 'nd I won't need no
good word with nobody."
them with perhaps greater discretion
than consideration.
They wavered and fell back, grum ­
bling discontentedly; and Maitland,
Ills anxiety temporarily distracted by
the noise they made, looked round to
find Ills erstwhile cabby at his elbow
Of whom the sight was Inspiration.
Kver thoughtful, never unmindful of
her whose Influence held him in this
coil, he laid an arresting hand on the
man's sleeve.
"You’ve got your cab—?"
' Yissir, right houtside.”
"Drive round the corner, away from
the crowd, and wait for me. If she—
the young lady—comes without me,
drive her anywhere she tells you and
come to my rooms to-morrow morning
for your pay."
"Thankee, sir.”
Maitland turned back, to find the
situation round the elevator shaft in
statu quo. Nothing had happened, save
that Hickey’s rage and vexation had
Increased mightily.
"But why don't you go up after
him ?”
"How 'n Idazes can I?” exploded the
detective. "He's got th' night car. 'F
I takes the stairs, he comes down by
th' shaft, 'nd how'm I tuh trust this
here m utt?” He Indicated Ills associ­
ate but humbler custodian of the peace
with a disgusted gesture.
"Perhaps one of the other cars will
run—” Maitland suggested.
“Ah, they're all dead ones," Hickey
disagreed with disdain as the young
man moved down the row of gates, try­
ing one after another. "Yeh're only
wastin'—”
He broke off with a snort as Mait­
land. somewhat to his own surprise,
managing lo move the gate of the
third shaft from the night elevator,
stepped into the darkened car and
groped for the controller. Presently
his fingers encountered It. and he
moved H cautiously to one Bide. A
vicious blue spark leaped hissing from
the controller-box and the cage
bounded up a dozen feet, and was only
restrained from its ambition to soar
skywards by an instantaneous release
of the le»’er.
By discreet manipulation Maitland
worked the car down to the street
floor again, and Hickey, with a grunt
lhat might be Interpreted as an apol­
ogy for bis incredulity, jumped In.
"Let 'er rip!” he cried, exultantly.
"Fan them folks out Intuh th' street,
Bergen, 'nd watch ow-ut!"
Maitland was pressing the lever
slowly wide of Its catch, and the
lighted lobby dropped out *»f sight
while the detective was still shouting
admonitions lo the police below. Grad­
ually gaining momentum the car began
lo shoot smoothly up into the black­
ness, safety chains clanking beneath
the floor. Hickey fumbled for the
electric light switch but, finding it. Im­
mediately shut Ihe glare off again and
left Ihe car in darkness.
"Safer," he explained, sententious.
“Anlsty 'll shoot, 'nd they says he
shoots straight."
Floor after floor in ghostly strata
slipped silently down before their
eyes. Half way lo the top, approxi­
mately, Hickey’s voice rang sharply
in the volunteer operator's ear.
"Stop 'er! Hold 'er steady. T'other's
cornin' down."
Maitland obeyed, managing the car
with greater ease and less jerkily as
he began to understand the principle
of the lever. The cage paused in the
Mark shaft, and he looked upward.
Down the third shaft over, the other
cage was dropping like a plummet, a
block of golden light walled In by
black filigree-work and bisected verti­
cally by the black line of the guide-
rail.
"Stop that there ear!”
Hickey's stentorian command had
no effect; the block of light continued
to fall with unabated speed.
The detective wasted no more
breath. As the other car swept past,
Maitland was shocked by a report and
Hash beside him. Hickey was using
his revolver.
The detonation was answered by a
cry, a scream of pain, from the lighted
cage. It paused on the Instant, like
The hansom swung Into Broadway,
going like a whirlwind; and picked up
an uniformed officer in front of the
Flatiron building, who, shouting and
using Ills locust stridently, sprinted
after them. A block further down an­
other fell into line; and lie it was who
panted al the step an instant after the
cab had lurched fo a slop before the
entrance to the St. Luke building.
Hickey had rolled out before the
policeman had a chance to bluster.
“ 'Lo, Bejgen," he greeted the man.
"Yeh know me—I'm Hickey, central

lty way of reply the officer stooped
and drummed a loud alarm ou the
sidewalk with Ills night stick.
"Say,” he panted, rising, "you’re a
wonder, Hickey—If you get him.”
"Uh-huh," grunted the detective
with a sidelong glance at Maitland.
“C’m 'long.”
