~—^together that evening at

Restaurant <m ,the first floor
‘vonahlre markon. It was
between the second and third
on the left as you enter
grand entrance—not the en-
ce from the suite of the Half Moon
). They had spent a curious, but
resting day. It had rained most
ho time. After Philip, In his lacon-
ray, ha£ finished reciting his Odys-
to tho young baronet he hud an-
hls Intention of going out
free suits of clothes; three
no more—a lounge suit, a
with the latest In trous
erings Ad waistcoats, and a dress suit.
Philip feant to be economical, strictly
vitli two hundred and fifty
poun^ln his pocket he could not deny
ajinsJr' the satisfaction of replacing
tho areas suit which he had abandoned
a few days before to a pawn broker In
Gray's Inn road. Sir Anthony had re
plied that, having regard to the weath
er, It was absurd to go out, and that
the mountain, summoned by telephone,
would certainly come to Mahomet. The
mountain did come; In fact, several
mountains came, Including a Mont
Blanc of a tailor, and a respectable
Ben Nevis of a hosier. Nor was that
the only miracle. By the Intervention
of Oxwich and the baronet Philip had
his drees suit within eight hours.
After lunch they had both, with one
accord, fallen asleep, and slept for two
hours.
Then there had been tea, cucumber
sandwiches, trylng-on, and a visit to
an acquaintance of Sir Anthony's who
had a flat In the mansion—Miss Kitty
Sartorlus, the renowned atar of the
Regency theater. It was Kitty's “day"
and half the genius and all the golden
youth of London were there.
And then Philip had retimed to dine
with Sir Anthony, but hud consented
to remain and dine In the restaurant If
Sir Anthony would be his guest. Philip
had explained that all the hospitality
could not bo on one side. Moreover,
d ho not relieved Sir Anthony of
days' Income? And lastly, though
meant to be strictly economical,
did not Intend that the era of
nomy Bh«njld set In with full se-
Ity until tne morrow.
"I^ook hero.'’ said Tony suddenly,
ring the timbale de inncaronl. "we'll
r for a run In the car tomorrow, If
it's line.’'
I" answered Philip firmly. "To-
Iglif l sleep at hny Corner House in
*’i nor reserved for me by Mr. Illl-
I *inorrow I begin to look for my
llv Ing ”
"Suppose yml don’t find It? Not so
en#. you know. You've been trying
soiSe tfm*» ”
“Ah!’ said Philip. "Put then I had
not got three go-»i| suits «>f clothes and
money-, epotigh m keep me for n year,
That frt»ek coat I’ve ordered Will get
me a situation pretty nearly any
where." .
'•Thun v»u abandon mo to my fate?"
'‘Wlwnrfatc?"
"Why, I haven’t got a friend In the
woifd, except you. I’m not In love.
’nr,nyt, even In debt. I’m only bored."
li\ f ;Anthony sighed. "You don’t fancy|
"It isn’t ascertained."
"But I suppose they’ve found the
corpse?" said the baronet as he set
Are to an R. P. Muria.
"Yes." replied Mr. Vareoe, still In
the same low voice. "It was found
this morning burled next to a sewer
In an open trench near Kingsway."
"Philip’s heart gave a Jump, and the
ash of hls‘ cigarette fell.
"Nice sort of a cemetery!” Tony
commented before Philip could put a
word In. "Any clew?”
"One. There was a scheme to get
rid of the regular watchman at the
trench last night, .and his place was
taken by a young man," said Mr. Var-
coe, looking Philip steadily In the face.
"The murder was committed while the
young man was in charge. The young
man behaved very strangely to a po
liceman who happened to come up Just
afterwards. He then tried to get to
bed at a lodging house exactly oppo
site to where the corpse was burled,
and though he didn’t succeed he In
gratiated himself with the manager
of the lodging house. Old Pollexfen
ban been staying In the house. This
morning, after the gang of laborers
had recommenced work on the trench
the young man was found hovering
near the spot, and he actually suggest
ed to the foreman that the soil had
been disturbed. He then fled.”
"Sort of fatal fascination that the
corpse has for Its murderer, eh?” said
the baronet.
"Perhaps," Mr. Vareoe admitted.
Philip half stood up, then sank back.
'You’re a detective, Mr. Vareoe!" he
blurted out.
And Mr. Vareoe calmly said:
exclaimed Anthony,
Tin • happy, .do you?
"Nol In love! You always used to
be.’VM
i fact ls, H said tho'baronet, self-
iusly, ’i’vc had a serious re
in that—er—department. It’s
ted my life; my boy. 1 shall never
the same man again.”
’No. 1 know you won't," Philip
nlled—'"not until next time. Tell me
out It. You’ve told me nothing real-
exciting yet about yourself.’’ The
tableau of the gay and Irresponsible
Tony ruined for eternity by a hopeless
pension amused Philip.
"It waa a—”
"Well, go on."
“No; F won't talk about it. I
can't. I’ll only tell you that I had
/a stall seventy-three nights running to
see her. What do you think of that?”
“Sublime!"
“It'a all very well for you to laugh
—Ha! Mr. Vareoe! You here! Come
and have coffee, will you?"
Sir Anthony turned quickly to a
ll»tle, dark, spectacled mnn, who was
«sing the table.
tr. Vareoe stopped and bent tho
» of hie spectacles on the baronet.
V charming Idea!" said Mr. Var-
"Wlth pleasure. I’ll be with you
And who Is Mr. Vareoe?" Philip
i»anded, while the latter was away.
‘Dashed If I know. Met him at Kit-
this afternoon. Didn’t you see
► Seemed a very decent, agreeable,
sort of chap. Awful keen on
mining. Swims all through the

"A detective!
shocked.
And I’ve been keeping an eye on
you both ever since 10 o’clock this
morning." added Mr. Vareoe.
A state of high tension existed at
the table.
"You want me to go with you?" said
Philip, motioning Tony to be silent.
"You suspect me? Appearances are
against me, Is that It?"
'Appearances might have been
against you, my dear sir." said Mr.
Vareoe, "If you had displayed the least
agitation when 1 first mentioned a Hen
•aptaln and the name of Pollexfen. But
you did not. Thus my previous notion
that you are not immediately connected
Ith the murder is. to a cert Ain extent,
confirmed. Appearances, then, arc not
against you. On the other hand, they
are not for you. And though I do not
wish you ‘to go with me,’ I shall esteem
It a favor If you will keep me Informed
of your address. At any rate, your
evidence will be valuable. I would like
your version."
"At once?"
"Why not?" said Mr. Vareoe, sip
ping his coffee. "If Sir Anthony does
not object."
"Better come up to my rooms,’’ Sir
Anthony suggested. He was perplexed
and unnerved by these revelations, for
Philip had not mentioned to him tho
ench episode.
And up there, In the "den," after
Philip had related everything he knew
to the detectI Vo, a rather strnnge piece
“ conversation ensued.
What about Pollexfen’s relatives?”
Tony asked. "Hadn’t he any?**
Mr. Vareoe seemed to pierce Into
Tony’s soul with a swift glance.
"Do you know,” said lie, "I wns
pectlng that question from you."
"Why from me?"
"Because you are Sir Anthony Dld-
rlng, thnt's all. Yes. Captain Pollex
fen had relatives—a brother and
daughter. And the highly curious
thing Is that they have both dlsap
poured."
"Since the murder?"
"No. Several days ago."
CHAPTER V
Glrsldft.
In n large chamber of Irregular
shape, with glass peep-holes In
strung positions, n chamber thnt look
ed as If It had been originally designed
by a child out of a box of bricks and
subsequently enlarged by a pavement
artist under the Influence of wine, n
chamber all whitewash and cement
and concrete, and full of a strnnge
odor, a shabby, self-conscious crowd of
some twenty men nnd three women
were wandering lumplshly about, from
peep-hole to peep-hole, spying, crying,
grinning, whispering, wedging. And a
universal Instinct made them trend as
softly as they could on the hard floor.
Through one peep-hole was to be seen
tho corpse of a young child that had
been overlaid by Its parents, through a
second the corpse of another young
child that bad been overlaid by Its
parents; through a third the corpse of
a middle-aged nun who had hung her
self by means of a window cord | n n
Marlst convent not far from Lincoln's
Inn; nnd through a fourth the corpse
of an old sea captain of whom little
whs known except that his name was
Pollexfen and some one had burled
him In a sewer, with the back of his
head smashed In. This wns the mortu
ary of a central London district. Tho
audience whom the law hail Invited to
the spectacle consisted of sundry
nesscs whose consciences were more or
less easy nnd a Jur- of small trades
men and employees trenched from
their work, whose feelings were di
vided between annoyance, self-import
unce and curiosity.
The four corpses.

m> dinner iiorty, t limp on |n thlMW compartment*, with the tnilo-
struetlble proud calm, at once Impres
sive and pathetic, that death alone can
give.
Presently an nged nun and a well
dressed man entered with a policeman;
and the crowd gaped. The nun was
the mother superior of the MArist con
vent and the man was Philip Masters
The reverent! mother gave one glance
through the peep-hole at the dead nun,
pressed her thin lips tightly together,
clasped her cross and went out on the
Instant. The policeman directed Philip
to the peep-hole of Pollexfen. and
Philip beheld a typical sailor’s face, an
old wrinkled reddish face, with a red
dish gray heard that curved outward
from under the chin, and a long smooth
upper lips; the hatd was awry. The
hands were gnarled and |>ale. It seem
ed Impossible that Captain Pollexfen
was dead; he had the look of having
dropped off to sleep for a few moments
In his bunk. It seemed Impossible
that those simple eyes had but recently
glimpsed murder In the eyes of an
other, nnd that that existence had sur
vived the seas of half a century in
order to end In a sewer and furnish
copy for evening papers. It seemed
horrible; It seemed uncanny, It seemed
unreal. Philip shivered In his spirit
as he thought of himself asleep In the
watcher's cabin while within a few
ards of him, quick and ruthless hands
l»acked the unresisting limbs of
sailor close to a common drain
n open street. i

However, when Mr. Vareoe returned
and had been introduced to Philip, he
mentioned no word of swimming. He
hchimin his hand a copy of the special
edition of The Westminster Gazette,
and for a few seconds Its contents
Mfined to preoccupy him to such an
, \tent as to make him- nervous.
-Anything in the paper?" Philip In
quired nonchalantly.
Mr. Vareoe stared hard at Philip, flx-
ittalm with those spectacles,

HWhat old sea captain?" Philip
ltd.
r. Vareoe glanced around the gllt-
ng room, wrhich was now chiefly
upled by waiters. The little trio of
young, fair Anglo-8axons, one
lineal, and the dark man who might
e been any age and of any na-
lity. was isolated In a sea of cnip-
*hlte tables.

demanded, opening
The mortuary had emptied; the pri
vate view was over; and the inquiry
was to begin. It was already half
pust two In the afternoon. In the
wake of the policeman Philip crossed
the street to the coroner's court, a
nondescript room that might have been
a creche, a soup kitchen, a work shop,
a school—anything but temple of Jus
tice. He had to show hla subpena
at the door, and he was told curtly
to sit on a certain bench. Near him
he noticed a negro. The room
pretty full. 1 A constable was taking
the names of the Jury who, officious
and timid, sat In two rows on the
side of the court opposite to the wit
nesses; at the back were a handful of
persons who, being out of a Job, were
representing the great and enlighten
ed British public. Two policemen,
who struck the eye unfamlllarly be
cause they were without their helmets,
dominated the scene.
Then there was a movement; every
body rose; and the coroner, the cele
brated Mr. Acrefalr,. known by name
to all newspaper readers, entered. He
wgm a thin, active man of 45 or so,
dressed like a stock broker, and he
carried a brown bag. In a fraction of
time he had doffed his overcoat,
sacked his bag, and assumed his seat
at the kneehole desk, which served as
the Judicial stall. And almost before
Philip could realize the fact the In
quest on one of the overlaid children
had begun.
Mr. Acrefalr did nothing but hold In
quests. He passed his days In an at
mosphere of sudden, violent and mys
terious death. He was Impasslonabie,
disillusioned, undecelvable, and his
methods were very rapid because ho
Invariably had rather more work than
he could do. In an hour and a quarter
he had dealt with the two InfantH and
the nun; censured the parents of one
child, had a passage of arms with the
mother superior; gently ridiculed
priest, examined altogether seventeen
witnesses, summed up three times to
the Jury, and given effect to three
verdicts. JIJs celebrity, his ingenious
economy of time, his skill In getting
evidence, his placid and yet remorse
less determination to have the unex
aggerated and unmlnlmlzed truth, his
Just estimate of human nature; his
habit of absolute authority—those
qualities astounded and delighted Phil
ip, who thought how Interesting It
would he to catch that man one night
In a quiet corner of his club and,
through a haze of cigar smoke, listen
to such philosophy as life hod taught
him.
And then Mr. Acrefalr. after having
signed some papers hurriedly, looked
at the Jury, nnd said In a new tone
voice;
‘The next case Is somewhat remark
able, gentlemen, and will demand your
special attention."
He apparently knew’ all about It.
The flrst witness was the constable
who had been called to assist at tho
unearthing of the body. He gave his
Idence ns he might have poured tea
out of a pot, smoothly, without -paus
ing and without being questioned. He
hail merely watched the latter part of
the process of exhuniutlon. The corpse
vas lying parallel to the drain pipe,
lose to It, and with the face toward
t. He had nfterwards superintended
the removal to the mortuary. He had
been summoned at 7:15 on Tuesday
morning. Having stated these facts
he shut his little note hook.
"You searched the body?" asked the
coroner. ,
“Yes, sir.”
’’What did you And?”
"Nothing whatever, sir."
The coroner wrote, and gazed ab
sently at a chromogrnph of the Prince
of Wales which ornamented tho wall
In front of him.
Then came a doctor, a portly nnd
pompous mnn, In a blue melton over
coat. He had a long gray beard and a
big white nose; his beard was In some
sort an Ideal that he had to live up to.
"You have made a post-mortem ex
amination of the body of the mnn de
scribed by the last witness?"
"Yesterday afternoon."
"What was tho eause of death?"
"i ’oncusslon nnd compression of the
brain, caused by a violent blow at the
base of the skull."
'Voinpresslon of the brain?*’ asked
the foreman of the Jury seemingly
solved at all costs to protect the Jury
from mystlflcution. He had a long
gray beard, and a kind of rivalry
established. "Will tho gentleman kind
ly tell us what compression of the
brnln Is?"
’in the pathological sense?"
"In sense."
"Compression of the brain o
henover Its structure Is so squeezed
that Its functions are In any degree
Interfered with."
"Thank you," said the foreinun.
"There were punctlform hemor
rhages," continued thfc doctor, taking
his revenge, "In the pores varolll nnd
in the floor of the fourth ventrlc. The
whole surface of the brnln was In
tensely congested. There was no ex
ternal lesion; merely a very slight
abrasion of the eperdertnls over a cir
cular area of about five square Inches."
"Not five Inches squareV’ asked the
coroner.
“No, sir, five square Inches."
"Was death Instantaneous T’
"It Is Impossible to say."
"Was the mnn dead before he was
burled V*
"Yee."
"At what time do you estimate he
died?"
"I began the necropsy at 4 o’clock
yesterday afternoon. I judge that he
hud then been dead nbout sixteen
hours. Thnt would make It that he
died on Tuesday at midnight.”
"The blow might have been delivered
much earlier than that?"
"Not much earlier. Perhaps an hour
at most.”

do you suppose the blow was deliv
