"See here, joiiiib Intlyl" Crnlfr riaiil with

"You absurd man!' said llio Rlrl, IhukIi

let her break your heart! nut 1 Just
wanted to Know wlint she looked like."
"Why, onco or twice when I liked her
most-she reminded mo of you 1"
'Ah'" Tho filrl drew In Iter breath,
villi the sharpest little exclamation.
Manlike, CrnlR took It that sho vi.ts
pleased with his compliment; nnd she did
not enlighten him.
"By tho way," he observed, after n
pause, "I mny as well tell you that Mlsa
Araiiy has tnltcu iilto a fancy to me.
When hIic Isn't calling In person, sho 13
lending her agents, Just to sco If I am
at homo!"
"What do you mean?"
Rutherford related, with much drollery,
the Incidents of that afternoon, which
had culminated with tho setting-up exer
cise. Miss Uallantyno laughed dellglrtedly nt
tho Btorj then suddenly grew thoughtful.
"Did they get the uecklaco7" sho asked.
"They did not want tho necklace at
least, that's what they said. They're
after the blue buckle."
"Oh'" She reached across the table and
clutched Ills arm. "They didn't ret that.
i did they'"
Hardly, he replied, reassuringly.
"Oh, I am so worried about tho buckle!
Please, plcnHo keep It 'safe! And ot I
feel that I ought not leavo It with you!"
"Why have you censed to trust mo?"
"No. you know it's not that but I am
afrlad you will bo watched now. Something-
might happen to you. They know
It's not In your snfe, and will reason
that jou have It with you. Oh, If any
thing; should happen, I would never for
give myself!"
"You mean, anything happen to the
buckle?"
"Yes and to you, too!"
Her vehemence had led her to say moro
than she had intended. Iluthnrford softly
Imprisoned tho pleading lingers which
had rested upon his arm.
'TJ'ouId ou really care?" ho whispered.
Don't jou mustn't!" sho said, trying
to release her hand.
"Would jou""' ho pleaded.
'Mr Rutherford, wo nro out in a pub
lic place," she protested. "Besides, you
know you could not like n girl you havo
not been able to trust!"
She said It bilghtly, but thero was a
lltllo quiver of her Up. Craig winced In
Bspue or himself. She was quick to note
It, and rose from tho table.
"rVM ... L . - . ... ..

Do not accuse mn of not trusting." ho
' Protested, as ho helped her Into her
cloak. "I havo trusted you In spite of
many things I could not understand!"
'I know you havo," sho answered, hur
riedly "nut I cannot explain all-yet."
Craig was forced to tako comfort In that
nut word, as they emerged out upon the
sidewalk. After thoy had gone a little
ay, a short, stout man, who had sat
yaiieniiy oil a night of steps opposite the
We all tho time they were within, rose
from his cramped position behind the
ione newel-post that had screened him
from sight, and walked leisurely after
nem. Ho was careful, however, to keep
on the opposite sldo of tho street.
Ituthcrford mounted the steps of her

they curved Into that satisfactory smile.
You never miss much In Ufa by failing

Quizzically.

shccould not help smiling.
"Your faeo Is Just an open book, Mr.
Ituthcrford," she, eald. "You havo a
speaking countenance and It spoke then
with eloquence."
I'Whnt did It say?" nsked Craig.
"It Bald," sho returned, laughing,
" 'what mlserablo falsehoods this young
femalo tells.' "
"Oh. well," sn.ld Craig, trying to smite,
for sho had lend hltn truthfully, "there
nro times when every femalo has to He,
I guess."
"Oh," she exclaimed, drawing away
from him, "It Is something more than
your countenanco that speaks. Lcl mo
go on."
"Do," said Craig, uneasily.
Sho changed her tone. "I want you to
help mo. 1 havo got to get that other
buckle. I've- got to do things. I've got to

got to meet tho person who replies,

"And It might as well bo me." Ho
hummed shoftly the old Florodora tunc.
"You seem to tnko your vnrlotis re
sponsibilities easily," sho Bald, as sho
carefully twisted her ringers loose from
his detaining grasp. He .could not sco
tho expression of her fnco. In tho halt
light, and did not know whether sho was
smiling or frowning nt his levity.
Across tho street, a man enconsed in a
convenient shadow grinned to himself at
their protected leave-taking.
"Somcrcsponslbllltles arc so easy," said
Craig, "that It's a shame oven to stand
up nnd bo thanked for them."
"I haven't thanked you yet," sho re
plied half saucily.
"Then don't yet nnd let mo choose tho
brand!"
Ho reached for her linml again, nnd en
countered tho key.
"I think I would better go In now," she
said hurriedly. "Could mi bo good
tnough to attend to the advertisement for
me?"
"I certainly could If you wilt allow mo
to accompany you when jou meet the
person advertised for."
"Oh, that duty has nticndy been wished
upon you!"
"Indeed? I had it confused with my
rcwaids."
".Mr. Iluthcrfoul, do street lamps shin
ing through vestibule doors have tho
some ertect upon you ns moonlight?"
"How so?"
"Why mako you sentimental?"
"You nro the most tantalizing young
person I have over met!" he cried, reach
ing out for her In the dark.
"And you arc obstreperous!" sho re
torted, eluding him.
Sho was Inside tho Inner door before he
realized her Intention.
".lust like a girl I" Ituthcrford grumbled
to himself.
lie heard a tiny laugh, and the door
shut tightly. Sho had held It open a
crack.
"Good night!" ho cnlled. and he fancied
ho heard a folnt "good night!" from the
opposlto side of tlie panel.
Ituthcrford walked down tho old slono
steps, feeling as though ho wcro tread
ing on nlr. What cared he for mysteries
nnd buckles nnd necklaces and smug
glers? This elusive and jet nllurlng girl
wns nearer to him tonight than sho had
ever been. Ho was gloating riotously In
tho knowledgo that sho really cared a
little for what he thought about her. Ho
wns as happy In this small triumph for
a few blissful moments as If she had
been the usual kind of poison whom ho
-would meet In his own ncltislvn pIitIo.
Instead of onn he had never been nblo
to classify, much less understand.
Then the absurdity of being head over
heels In lovo with n girl whoso Hist namo
ho didn't even know, enmo pleasantly
homo to him. Ho actually blushed, walk
ing along tho street, as he reached Into
an Inner pocket to stroke the llttlo pack
ago containing her veil, llo gloried In
his possession of the blue buckle, ns an
other evidence of her presence, albeit a
dangerous one, as ho had learned only
that afternoon. Ho reached Into another
pocket to satisfy himself that lie still had
It safe.
Suddenly tho world flew sidcwlso Into
space. A million lights danced before his
eves ns Ttuthorford sank with a slight
moan down on tho p.iveemnt. Over hla
unconscious body a man bent, searching
carefully but rapidly. Ho seized a par

Down the street bowled a taxlcab,
which drew up to the curb In response
to his excited gesticulations.
"Ill there, stopl Here's a man hurt.

The cabby helped the other man lift

"OXB 1VI 1JSAF IPSE"
Tho blow which felled Itutherford was
delivered by tho hand of nn ndept. It
was neither too hnrd, nor yet too light,
llo nwoke tho next morning little the
worse for It, except a dizzy, aching head.
Ooolcy was moving BOftly about tho
room, looking over nt him with anxious
eye. When ho saw his master look un
certainly nround, ho was by tho bedsldo
In on Instant, smoothing tho covers as
lightly ns a trained nurso would havo
done.
"Havo a good strong cup of coffee,
sor?" ho suggested.
Ideal man that ho was, ho did not com
ment upon the Injury, but camo straight
to the point of service.
"I bolluve I will thank you, Mike.
I'm nt homo?"
"Sure, sor."
"Somebody get under my guard?"
"They did the dirty blackguards! But
tho doctor said you'd bo all right. I'll
fetch jou tho coffee, sor."
As Rutherford's bead began to clear ho
reasoned painfully over tho events of the
day before. Who could bo his assailant,
nnd whnt was ho after? His first nnswer
wns that It was ono or both of the men
whom he had caught In his room, after
tho blue buckle. That seemed tho most
obvious clew. They had not found the
buckle In his safe, henco hod reasoned
that ho must havo It on his iwrsoti. Witn
a groan and a sinking heart, ho reached
for his pocket to see If thoy had rifled It
but encountered only tho pocket of his
pajamas. His street clothes were care
fully luuig up, nnd Mike was out of tho
room.
If It were not tho bluo buckle, what
else could his enemy bo after? The neck
lace, of course. He hadn't thought of
that before. Ho smiled sourly when ho
realised how completely ho had forgotten
It. He was coming to Miss Ballantync's
apparent attitude, and not wasting time,
over things as trivial as strands of dia
monds! But tho smugglers weren't likely
In forget; and Craig called fieshlj' to
mind whnt Helderman had snld about
holding on to the necklace, and thus
catching tho smugglers.
Who else besides Helderman, tho smug
glers, Miss Arany, her agents, and ths
Ballantynes, know or could possibly have
any Interest In his actions? Whj tho
sectct servlco men the real ones of
course! CrnlK gavo a start, when It oc
curred to hltn that ho might bo watched,
perhaps followed, by three different tots
of people the men after tho buckle, tho
smugglers after the necklace, nnd tho
customs men after clews. He was en
tirely too popular, ho decided'
(ranted that his first premise wcio cor
rect, why should Miss Arany Imj so de
termined to secure the bluo buckle? Why,
Indeed bis bend was Just sufficiently soro
to mako his wits active and his emo
tions dull why, Indeed, unless sho wcro
tho person to whom it rightfully be
longed? How could Its possession do her
any good, unless sho were nble to prove
her claim to the property? If she wcro
tho truo owner then the Ballantynes,
father nnd daughter, must be Impostors,
iuni this was tho desperate game they
wero playing.
Ballantync's own appearance, not to
mention tho attractiveness of his daugh
ter, seemed posltlvo ovldence against
such nn assumption; but Craig was, this
morning. Just sutllclcntly ill and out of
sorts to resent his constant Inclination
to shield tho Ballantynes. Ho muilo him
Belf ncknowlcdgo that ho knew nothing
positive nbout them. Mr. Ballantyno had

offered no proof that he was the rightful
claimant of thN estate, nutherford re
linquished the notion that the blue buckle
was only a subterfuge to cover up tho
necklace affair, for Miss Arany would
scarcely havo attached so much Impor
tance to It, If l were. Neither she nor
the Ballantynes bad exhibited the slight
est Interest In tho necklace. Thoy had
not concealed their Interest In the buckle,
but none of them had shown the slightest
proof that they wero entitled to It. It
was Impossible for him to know, too,
how many assistants each of tho fair
claimants had enlisted in her causs,
Craig thought uncomfottably of tils un
enviable position, It both sides got con
fused and camo to regard him as nn
ally of the other. Moro unexpected
punches In tho head seemed to be tho
natural order of events for hlmt Ho
would better have n placard printed for
street wear llko tho blind beggars only
his would read: "Hands oft! I nm with
out buckles or necklaces!"
"Which will you have, sor?" naked
Mike, tendering cream and sugar for his
coffee.
"Neither!" asserted his master prompt
ly. "I shall hcncefoith do without cither
necklaces or buckles, for personal wear!"
Mike felt bis own head In silent sym
pathy, and then Bhoolt It gloomily. "It
must hnvo been nn awful crack!" he
said.
Ituthcrford shook off his dizziness with
nn effort, and reached for tho welcome

A Genuine Aeolian-Made Player-Piano
for only $395
It is not a new thing to see a player-piano advertised for $400 and
even $375, but it is an event far out of the ordinary and one of most
considerable importance to see manufacturers, as highly esteemed and as
reputable as the great Aeolian Company, place on the market a player-piano
with their name on it and at a price far below the fondest hopes of their
staunchest patrons. Such an event is most worthy of note, but more
wonderful still is the value which these great manufacturers announce with
this model.
Consider for a minute
this $395 Aeolian Player-Piano is made in the
same factories, designed by the same artisans,
built by the same workmen and produced under
the same supervision that produces the world
famous Weber and Steinway Pianolas.
this $395 Aeolian Player-Piano contains prac
tically every, patented Aeolian device, except the
exclusive Pianola features.
this $395 Aeolian Player-Piano carries the
sameat guarantee of absolute satisfaction as the
highest priced instruments of the Aeolian line.
Best of all, this new model is priced within the reach of 'every purchaser,
and now to add a fitting climax to such a marvelous value, we have arranged
an extremely low monthly rate, through our rental payment plan, for those
who do not care to pay the full amount at the time of purchase.

largo white envelope, somewhat similar
to one he had mailed tho night before.
Calmly disregarding all his doubts and
censures of n few momenta before, he
reached for the envelope eagerly.
Yes, It wan from her, nnd he looked
flrBt to see how the name was signed
at tho bottom. Wllhelmlna Ballantyne!
An old-fashioned and somewhat cumber
some name, he thought, although It stood
before him In n gracefully strong hand
writing which did It credit.
Miss Ballantyne wroto to say that she
was lticloBlng copy for tho advertisement
which ho would please Insert for her, In
tho accompanying list of newspapers.
They were all Canadian papers, as she
had said. Sho begged him ntso, as a
fnvor. to keep a memorandum of any and
all Items of expense.
"Quito business like," said Craig, ap.
provlngly "I shall send them off today,
If this old head will let up."
Nevertheless, In spite of tho strong cof
fee, ho presently fell Into an uneasy slum
ber, nnd attended to no business of any
nort that day. Tho next one, he was
nearly himself again, and the advertise
ments wero duly sent off.
More than a week passed by, and dur
ing that time, which seemed uncon
scionably long to Itutherford, he neither
heard from his client nor her advertise
ment. Ho was on the point of going
around to see her anyway. Just to "re
port progress," when nt last a letter
arrived from Montreal, bearing the nd
dress of a legal firm.

but very beautiful. Is I.lddle's setting of
Klngeley's "A Farewell," sung by Bed
feme Holllnshead. "Tecnle, Eenle,
Weenie," from "Suil," which Joso Col
lins sang hero at the beginning of the
season, nnd the "Gray Dove" song from
"Chin-Chin," nre also on the Edison lists
of tho week. A I'atho list Is given over
largely to donco records.
A fenturo of the, tidlson grand opera
discs, which Is quite novel, Is tho chat
nn tho back of each Heretofore tho back
of n record made by a hlgh-prlco artist
lias been a dead loss. Tho Edison diamond-dice
records of grand opera selec
tions havo on tho baclo of each n little
Intimate lecture which tells the hearers
whnt the selection means, whero It occurs
In tho opera, who the composer and solo
ist aro. It ndds nothing to tho cost of the
record, and often enhances the Interest
of a selection by showing Its connection
with tho rest of tho opera. Among the
records so treated Is Anna Case's singing
of "Depuls le Jour," from "Louise." This
splendid song Is, of course, not to ho
taken apart from tho rest of Charpen
tier's opera. And If you can't hear the
opera, It Is n good thing to havo It
sketched for you. Another nrtlst. not new
by any moans, to whom tho Edison rec
ords aro drawing n lot of attention. Is
Gulseppl Ansclml. of I.a Scala. Milan,
Italy. Anselml has consistently refused to
como to this countrj-. Ho is very rich
and doesn't need tho prizes offered him.
But his praises havo been brought here

New Piano Rolls
The player-piano Is moro than holding
Us own In tho advancement of meehanl- j
cal music Instruments. A recent develop
ment Is tho Duo-Art, which combines
piano, a player-piano and an electric,
player-piano. That Is, in the examples to
bo seen In Philadelphia at present, there
In first of nil, nn ordlnnry (or perhaps
ono should saj. nn extraordinary)
piano. On this piano you can play the
UBUal type of roll, and that without foot
power, ns thero Is an electric attachment,
In nddltlon to this, you can put on a
record mnde by a master, and It will be
played exnetly ns tho master played It
Hand-recorded rolls nre very popular
nowadnjs. They nro atamped to cor
respond with the Interpretation of a
mastcr-planlst, nnd nny variations you
wish to mako aro moro or less at your
own risk. Itcccnt rolls show a tendency
to make danco recordings ns nearly llko
orchestral music as tho piano will allow.
They aro mado from four-hand record
ings. This month's rolls Include a one
Btep medley known ns "Azlpper," In
which will bo discovered nmong others
thrco of tho Incomparable Al Jotson's
songs. The "Brondway Hesitation" Is
full of musical comedy hits! "The Tlag
of Bags" Is exactly what Its namo Indi
cates, and, of course, thero Is "I Didn't
ltalso My Boy to Bo a Soldier," Which
may shortly rival "Tlppcrary."
Another typo of roll Is devoted to
classical music Kor tho first time Mos
Benct'B popular "Elcglo" Iras been cut for
tho player-piano. TJio fourth movement
of Beethoven's "Pastoral" sonata Is now
added to tho other movements. Incident
ally, the "Moonlight" la ono of tho long
est rolls made; It runs to almost SO feet.
Ono of tho shortest Is a McDowell piece
of seven feet, rrnctlcally all rolls nro
mado In SS-noto. Tho CS-noto roll seems
doomed to follow tho 58, which Is no
longer made.
