CHAPTER IV. 3ld Sea Captain. ~—^together that evening at ny’a u*IMl ^able In the I,oul* 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.

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. wrfullv sorry, old man; 1 mr r a ihtnK tie must DO one or me ,, hlstoi-y7n 'ii <U *lnato 0 ?iunrt«r ... nbout anything nf London, ilened the econo anil the ’ n whv V.m Invito,I '' rmVl1 <•’ rob them *>f thelf Icy on.l dinner nartv " y phlllo ob- '’'unity. They reposed there 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 touched his shouulcr. _ » think ing fqr the moment It was my party.” 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?"

Captain Pollexfen?” 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.” "With what kind of an Instrument do you suppose the blow was deliv ered 7” "Something soft anti heavy. Proha- WHO HAS ATTENDED THE SOUTHERN SHORTHAND | and ATLANTA. QA.
