They dined together that evening at sir Anthony's usual table In the Louis ijuatorxe Restaurant on the first door of the Devonshire mansion. It was the table between the second and third onyx pillars on the left as you enter by the grand entrance—not the en trance from the suite of the Half Moon Club. They had spent a curious, but interesting day. It had rained moat of the time. After Philip, In his lacon ic way, had finished reciting hla odya- *ey to the young baronet he had an nounced hla Intention of going out t ■ i get three suits of clothea; three Milts and no more—a lounge suit, a frock coat with the latest in trous erings and waistcoats, and a dress suit. Philip meant to be economical, strictly no; btft with two hundred and fifty I 'uinda In hla pocket he could not deny himself the satisfaction of replacing the dress 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 tha 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 Plane of a tailor, and a respectable lien Nevis of a hosier. Nor was that the only miracle. By the Intervention of Oxwlch and the baronet Philip had hli dress suit within eight hours. After lunch they had both, with one nccord, fallen asleep, and slept ror two hours Then there had been tea, cucumber sandwiches, trying.on, and a visit to mi acquaintance of Sir Anthony’s who hud a flat In the mansion—Miss Kitty ^artorltu, the renowned star of the HegSncy theater. It waa Kitty's "day" •ml half the genius and all the golden youth of London were there. And then Philip had refused to dine w Ith Sir Anthony, but had consented to remain and dine In the-restaurant If Kir Anthony would bo Ills guest. Philip had explained that all the hospitality i ould not he on one aide. Moreover, lmd he not relieved Sir Anthony of live days' Income? And lastly, though he meant to be strictly economical, he did not Intend that the era of ei onomy should '■set In with full ee* Verity until the morrow. •'Look here," said Tony suddenly, during the timbale dc macaroni, "we'll go for a run In the car tomorrow, If it's fine.” « No," answered Philip firmly. "To- n'ght I Bleep at my Corner House In tin- (artier reserved for me by Mr, Hll- g.iy. Tomorrow I begin to look for my li, ing." •Suppose you don’t find It? Not so cn: y, you know. You've been trying snmu lime " ' "Ah!' said Philip. "But then I hail n"t got three good suite of clothes and i oney enough lo keep mo for a year, i Nat frock coat I've ordered will get i’" a nltuatlon pretty nearly any where." • Then you abandon me to my fate?" "Whnt fate?" Why, I haven't got a friend In the u 'ild, except you. I'm not In love. I'm not even In debt. I'm only bored.” sir Anthony alghed. "You don’t fancy I'm happy, do you?" "Not In ldve! You always used trn "The fact Is,” said the baronet, aelf- SPbaclously, "I've had a serious re- it!>o In that—er—department. U’i l'llulited my life, my boy. I shall never I..- I he name man again.” "No. I know you won't," Philip smiled—"not until next time. Tell me bout It. You’vo told me nothing real- exciting yet about youraeIf.' r The tableau or the gay and irresponatble Tony ruined for eternity by a hopeless passion amused Philip. •it was a—" "Well, go on." "No; I won't talk about It. I i.i n't. I'll only tell you that I had * -iall seventy-three nights running to i' her. What do you think of that?" •sublime!" "It'a all very well for you to laugh -—Hit! Mr. Varcoe! You here! Come nod have coffee, will you?" Sir Anthony turned quickly to a little, dark, spectacled man, who was pa-.-Ing the table. Mr. Varcoe stopped and bent the g.t.of hla apactaclea on the haronet. "A charming Ideal" aald Mr. Var- . •••. "With pleasure, lit be with you In an Instant." “And who Is Mr. Varcoe?" Philip demanded, white the latter was away. "Hashed If I know. Met him at Klt- tc.a this afternoon. Didn't you see him? Seemed u very decent, agreeable. Jolly aort of chap. Awful keen on swimming. Swims all through the year, he says, as I do. Challenged me to a race In the Serpentine on Chrial- maa morning, but I wasn't having any. 1 should think he must be one of the cracks. Doesn't talk about anything else, you know." •i suppose that's why you Invited him to my dlnnor party," Philip ob served. "Awfully sorry, old man; I was think ing for the moment it was my party." However, when Mr. Varcoe returned and had been Introduced to Philip, ho mentioned no word of swimming. He held In hie hand a copy of the special edition of The Westminster Oasette. and for a few seconds Us contents seemed to preoccupy him to such an extent as to make him nervous. "Anything In the paper?" Philip In quired nonchalantly. . .. Mr. Varcoe stared hard.at Philip, fix ing him with those spectacles. "Yes," said he; the murder of that old sea captain." “What old sea captain?” Philip Mr. Varcoe glanced around the glit tering room, which was now chiefly occupied by waiters. The little trio of two young, fair Anglo-Saxons, one dandiacal, and the dark man who might have been any age and of any na tionality, was Isolated In a sea of emp ty white tables. .... "Captain Pollexfen. said Mr. Var- eoe In a low calm voice. He appeared to wait for the effect of bln word*. They had no effect. "And Oho was Captain Pollexlen?" Kir An'k my Idly demanded, opening hi* cigar case. "He was Just a sea captain. That Is a:- io*t all that's known." "Where was he murdered? How was he murdered T' "Heck <>f his head smashed in." ^ "But where?” "It Isn't ascertained." "But I suppose they've found the corpse?” said the barqnet as he set fire to an R. P. Murla. "Yes." replied Mr. Varcoe, still In the same low voice, "It was found this morning burled next to a sewer In an open trench near Klngeway." "Philip's heart gave a Jump, and the ash of his' cigarette fell. "Nice sort of a cemetery!" Tony commented before Philip could put a word In. "Any clew?" "One. There wss a scheme to get rid of the regular watchman at the trench last night, and his place waa 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 ■Iceman who happened to come up Just afterwards. Ho 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 had been staying In the house. This morning, after the gang of laborers had recommenced work on the trench the young man waa found hovering near the spot, and he actually suggest ed to the foreman that the eoll had been disturbed. He then fled." “Sort of fatal faaclnatlon that the corpse has for Its murderer, eh?" said the baronet. "Perhaps," Mr. Varcoe admitted. Philip half stqod up, then sank back. "You're a detective, Mr. Varcoe!” ho blurted out. And Mr. Varcoe calmly eald: "I am." , “A detectlrel” exclaimed Anthony, shocked, “And Pve been keeping an eye on you both ever since 10 o'clock this morning,” added Mr. Varcoe. A elate of high tenelon existed at the table. "You want me to go with you?*’ aald Philip, motioning Tony tq be silent. "You suspect me? Appearances are against me, Is that It?" “Appearances might have been against you, my dear sir," said Mr. Varcoe, "If you had displayed the least agitation when 1 first mentioned a sea captain and the name of Pollexfen. But you did not. Thus my previous notion that you are not Immediately connected with the murder Is, to a certain extent, confirmed. Appearances, then, are not against you. On the other hand, they are not for you. And though 1 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 7" said Mr. Varcoe. sip ping hts coffee. "If Sir Anthony does not object." "Better come up to my rooms," sir Anthony suggested. He wfls perplexed and unnerved by these revelations, for Philip had not mentioned to him the trench episode. And up there. In the "den," after Philip hud related everything he knew to the detective, a rather strange piece of conversation ensued. "What about Pollexfen’s relatives?" Tony asked. "Hadn't he any?" Mr. Varcoe seemed to pierce Into Tony's soul with n swift glance. “Do you know," said he, “I was ex pcctlng that question from you." "Why from me?" "Because you are Sir Anthony Did ring, that’s all. Yes, Uaptnln Pollex fen had relatives—a brother and daughter. And the highly curious thing Is that they have both disap peared." "Since the murder?" "No. Several days ago." CHAPTER V. Qlralda, In a large .chamber of Irregular shape, with glass peep-holes li ttrapg positions, n chamber that look ed as If It had been originally designed by a child out of a box of bricks nnd subsequently enlarged by a pavement artist under the Influence of wine, chamber all whitewash and cement nnd concrete, and full of n strange odor, u 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 unlversnl Instinct made them tread as softly as they could on the hard floor. Through one peep-hole wns to be seen the corpse of a young child that had been overlaid by Its parents, through n seednd the corpse of another young child that had been overlaid by It* parents; through n third the corpse of a middle-aged nun who had hung her self hy mean* of n window cord In a Mur 1st convent not far from Lincoln's Inn; nnd through a fourth the corpse if an old aea captain of whom little was known except that his name wns Pollexfen and sume one had burled him In n sewer, with the bnek of his head smashed In. This was the mortu ary of a central London district. Tho audience whom the law had Invited to the spectacle consisted of sundry wit nesses whoso consciences were more or less easy and a jury of small trades men nnd employees wrenched from their work, whose feelings were di vided between nnnoyance, self-import ance and curloatty. The four corpses, waste product of one day's history In a single quarter of London, dotted tho scene and the crowd to rob them of thetr Icy and majestic dignity. They reposed there In those compartments, with the Inde structible proud calm, at once Impres sive and pathetic, that death alone can give. Presently an aged nun and a well dressed man entered with a policeman; nnd the crowd gaped. The nun wns the mother superior of the Marlst con vent and the man was Philip Masters. The reverend mother gave one glance through the peep-hole nt the dead nun, pressed her thin lips tightly together, clanped her cross and went out on the Instant. Tho policeman directed Philip to the iieep-hole of Pollexfen, and Philip beheld a typical sailor'* face, an old wrinkled reddish face, with a red dish gray beard that curved outward from under the chin, and a long smooth upper lips; the held was awry. The hunds were gnarled and pale. It seem ed lm|H>sslhle that Captain Pollexfen was dead; he had the look of having dropped off to sleep for a few moments In hts bunk. It seemed impossible that those simple eyes had but recently glimpsed murder In the eyes of an other. and that that existence had sur vived the sens of half a century In >rder to end In a sewer and furnish ropy fur evening papers. It seemed horrible; It seemed uncanny. It seemed unreal. Philip shivered In hla spirit as he thought of himself asteep In the watcher's caldn while within n few yards of him, quick and ruthless hands had packed the unresisting limbs nt the oil sailor close to a common drain pine in a common open street. The The mortuary had emptied; the pri vate view was over; and the Inquiry was to begin. It was already half past 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 aoup kitchen, a work shop, a school—anything but temple of Jus tice. He had to show hfs subpena at the door, and he was told curtly to sit on a certain bench. Near him he noticed a negro. The room was pretty full. A constable was taking the names of the Jury who, officious and timid, >sat In two rows on the side of the court oppoelte to the wit nesses; at the back were a handful o_ persona who, being out of a Job, were representing the great and enlighten ed British public. Two policemen, who struck the eye unfamlliarly 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 was a thin, active man of 45 or so, dressed like a stock broker, and ' carried a brown bag. In a fraction time he hod doffed his overcoat, ran sacked hla bag, and assumed his seat at the kneehole desk, which served as the Judicial stall. And almost before Philip could realise the fact the In quest on one of the overlaid children had begun. Mr. Acrefalr did nothing but hold In quests. He passed hts days in an at mosphere of sudden, violent and my* terlous death. He was Impasslonable, disillusioned, undecetvable, and his methods were very rapid because he Invariably had rather more work than he could do. In an hour and a quarter he had dealt with the two Infants and the nun; censured the parents of one child, had a passage of arms with the mother superior; gently ridiculed a priest, examined altogether seventeen witnesses, summed up three times to the Jury, nnd given effect to three verdicts. His celebrity, his Ingenious economy of time, his skill In getting evidence, his placid and yet remorse less determination to have the uncx nggerated and unmlnlmlxcd truth, hli lust estimate of human nature; his iablt of absolute authority—those qualities astounded and delighted Phil Ip, who thought how Interesting I would be to catch that man one night In a quiet corner of Ills club and, through a base of cigar smoke, listen to such philosophy as life had taught him. And then Mr. Acrefalr. after having signed some papers hurriedly, looked up at the Jury,.and said In a new tone of voice; i "The nsxt case Is somewhat remark able, gentlemen, nnd will demand your special attention." He apparently knew all about tt. The first witness was tho constable ho had been called to assist at the unearthing of the! body. He gave tils evidence na ha might have poured tea nut of a pot, smoothly, without paus ing and without being questioned. He had merely watched the latter part of the process of exhumation. The corpse wns lying parallel to the drain pipe, close to It, nnd with the face toward It. He had nfterwarfis 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 book. "You searched the body?" asked the coroner. •'Yes, sir." "What did you find?" "Nothing whatever, sir." The coroner wrote, and gaxed ab sontly at a chromograph of tho. Prince of Wales which ornamented the wall In front of him. Then came a doctor, a portly nnd liompous man, In a blue melton over coat. He had a long gray beard nnd a big white nose; hts beard waa in some sort an Ideal that he had to live up to. "You hpve made a post-mortem ex aminntlon of the body of the man do scribed by the laet wltnesa?" "Yesterday afternoon." "What was the cause of death? "Concussion and compression of the brain, caused by a violent blow at the base of the skull." '.'Compression of the brain?” asked the foreman of the Jury seemingly re solved at nil costs to protect the Jury from myotlflcatlon. Ho had a long gray beard, nnd a kind of rivalry was established. “Will the gentleman kind ly tell us what compression of the brain Is?" "In the pathological sense?” "In sense." "Compression of the brain occurs whenever Its structure Is so squeexed that its functions are In any degree Interfered with." "Thank you." said the foreman. "There were punctlform hemor rhages," continued the doctor, taking hts revenge. "!n the pores varnlll nnd In the floor of the fourth ventrtc. The whole surface of the brain was In tensely congeeted. 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 square?" asked the coroner. “No. etr, five square Inches." "Was death Instantaneous 7" "It Is Impossible to say." "Was the man dead before he was burled ?" •Yee." "At what time do you estimate died?" "1 began the necropsy nt 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. I Judge that he had then been dead about sixteen hours. That would make It that he died on Tuesday at midnight." “The blow might have been delivered much earlier than that?" "Not much earlier.
