They dined together that evening at Sir Anthony’s usual-table In the Louis Quatorse Restaurant on the first floor 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 reined most of the time. After Philip, in his lacon ic way. had finished reciting his Odys- ocy to the young baronet he had an nounced his Intention of going out to get three suits of clothes; three suits and no more—a lounge suit, a frock coat with the latest In trous erings and waistcoats, and a drees suit. Philip meant to be economical, strictly so; but with two hundred and fifty pounds In his 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 the weath er, It was absurd to go nut, and that the mountain, summoned by telephone, would certainly come to Mahomet. The mountain did come; In fact, several mountains came, Including a Mont Hlanc of a tailor, and a respectable Ben Nevis of a hosier. Nor was that the only miracle. By the Intervention of Oxwlch and the baronet Philip had his dress suit within eight hours. After lunch they had both, with ono accord, fallen asleep, and slept for two hours. Then there had been tea, cucumber sandwiches, trying-on, and a visit to an acquaintance of Sir Anthony's who had a flat In the mansion—Miss Kitty Sartorius, the renowned star 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 refused to dine with Sir Anthony, hut hnd consented to remain and dine Ik the restaurant If Sir Anthony would be his guest. Philip had explained that all the hospitality could not be on one side. Moreover, had he not relieved Sir Anthony of llvi days' Income? And lastly, though he meant to be strictly economical, he did not Intend that the era of economy should set In with full se verity until the morrow. "Look here,” said Tony suddenly, during the timbale de macaroni, "we'li gn for a run In the car tomorrow, If It’s fine.” “No," answered Philip firmly. "To- nlK-ht I sleep at.my Corner House In i lux corner .reserved fur-me by Mr, Hll- gay. Tomorrow I begin to look for my living." "Suppose you don’t find It? Not so easy, you tknow. You've been trying >omo time" i "Ah!’ said Philip. 'iHul then I had not got three good suits of clothes and money enough to keep me for a year. That frock coat I've ordered will got me a situation pretty nearly any where." "Then you abandon me to my fate?" "What fate?” "Why, I haven't got a friend In the "vrld, except you. I'm not In love. I'm not even In debt. I'm only bored." sir Anthony sighed. “You don't fancy I'm', happy- ,do you?” "Not In love! You always used to be." "The fact Is," said the baronet, self consciously, "I've had a serious re- verse In that—er—department. It's blighted my life, my boy. I shall never hi' the same man again." "No. I know you won't," Philip .smiled—"not until next time. Tell me about It. You’ve told me nothing real ly exciting yet about yourself." The tableau of the gay and Irresponsible Tony ruined for eternity by a nopvless passion amused Philip. •'It was a—" "Wall, go on." “No; I won't talk about can't. I’ll only tell you that I had a stall aeventy-three nights running to sec her. Whet do you think of that?" "Sublime!” "H’a alt very well for you to laugh —Ha! Mr. Varcoe! You here! Come and have coffee, will you?" Sir Anthony turned quickly to little, dark, spectacled man, who was passing the table. Mr. Varcoe stopped and bent the gaze of his spectacles on the baronet. "A charming Idea!" said Mr. Var- coe. "With pleasure. I'll be with you In an Instant.” "Anti who Is Mr., Varcoe?" Philip "It Isn't ascertained. 1 "But I suppose they've found the corpse?" said the baronet as he set Arc to an R. P. Mur la. "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 Klngsway.” "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 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 kteadlly 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 han been slaying 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 soli had bsen disturbed. He then fled.' "Sort of fatal fascination that the corpse has for Its murderer, eh?" said the baronet. “Perhaps,” Mr. Varcoe admitted. Philip half atnod up, then sank back. "You’re a detective, Mr. Varcoe!" h< blurted out. And Mr. Varcoe calmly said: “I am." “A detective!" exclaimed Anthony, shocked, "And I've been keeping an eye on you both ever since 10 o'clock this morning,” added Mr. Varcoe, A state of high tension existed at the tabic. "You want me to go with you?” said Philip, motioning Tony to be silent. "You suspect me? Appearances are against me. Is that It 7" "Appearances might have been against you, my dear air," said Mr. Vnrnnf> “If vmi liiirl dlahlnvi ARO miu in mi.a i nivw; demanded, while the latter was away. "Dashed If I know. Met him at Klt- tx'.i thla afternoon. Didn't you see him? Seemed a very decent, agreeable, J.illy sort of chap. Awful keen on Mvlmmlng. Swims all through the venr, he says, as I do. Challenged me i.i a race In the Serpentine on Christ mas morning, but I wasn't having any. 1 hould think he must be one of the < racks. Doesn't talk about anything else, you know." "I suppose that’s.why you Invited Mm to my dinner party," Philip ob served. "Awfully sorry, old man; I was think- lng 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 his hand a copy of the special edition of Thb Westminster Gazette, and for a few seconds Its contents seemed to preoccupy him to such an extent as to make him nervous. "Anything lit 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 asked. 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 d dlai-al, and the dark man who might have been any age and of any na tionality, waa Isolated In a sea of emp ty white tables. “Captain Pollsxfen." said Mr. Var coe In a low calm voice. He appeared to wait for the effect of his words. They had no effect. "And who waa Captain Pollexfen?" Sir An'l my Idly demanded, opening his cigar ease. "He was Just a sea captain. That Is almost all that’s known." "Where was he murdered? How was (-» murdered?" "Back of his head smashed In.' ^"JJut where 7“ Varcoe, “If you had displayed the least agitation when I first mentioned n 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, 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 oatcein It a favor If you will keep me Informed of your addreaa. At any rate, your evidence will be valuable. I would like your veralon.” "At once?" * “Why not?” said Mr. Varcoe, sip ping his coffee. “If Sir Anthony does not object." “Better come up to my rooms,” Sir Anthony suggested. He was perplexed and unnervrd by these revelations, for Philip had not mentioned to him the trench episode. And up there. In the "den," after Philip had related everything he knexv to the detective, a rather strange piece of conversation ensued. "What about -Pollexfon's relatives?" Tony naked. "Hadn't he any?'' Mr. Varcoe seemed to pierce Into Tony'e soul with a swift glance. "Do you know," said he, "I was ex pecting that question from you." "Why from me?" "Because you are Sir Anthony Dld- rlng, that's all. Yes, Captain Pollex fen hud relatives—a brother and i daughter. And the highly curious thing Is that they have both disap peared." “Since the murder?" “No. Several days ago." CHAPTER V. Glralda. In a large chamber of Irregular shape, With glass >peep-holes In strong positions, a chamber that 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, chamber all whitewash and cement and concrete, and full of a strange odor, a shabby, self-conscious crowd of some twenty men and threo women were wandering Iumplshly about, from peep-hole to peep-hole, spying, crying, grinning, whispering, wedging. And a universal Instinct made them tread os softly as they could on the hard floor. Through one peep-hole was to be seen the corpse of a young child that had been overlaid by Its parents, through if second the corpse of nnothcr young child that had been overlnld by Its parents; through a third the corpse of a middle-aged nun who had hung her self by means of a window cord In a Mariet convent not far from Lincoln’s Inn; and through a fourth the corpse of an old sea captain of whom little xvns known except that his name Pollexfen nnd some one hnd hurled him In a sewer, with the back of hfa head smashed In. This wax the mortu ary of a central London district. The audience whom the law had Invited to the spectacle consisted of sundry wit nesses whose consciences were more or less easy and a Jur" of small trades men and employees wrenched from their work, whose feelings were di vided between annoyance, self-import ance and curiosity. The four corpses, waste product of one day's history In a single quarter of London, defied the scene nnd the rnwd to rob them of their ley nnd majestic dignity. They reposed there In those compartments, with the Inde structible proud calm, at one* Impres sive and pathetic, that death alone can give. Presently an aged nun and a well dressed man entered with a policeman; and the crowd gaped. The nun waa the mother superior of the Marlst con vent and the man was Philip Masters. The reverend mother gnve 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 aallor'x 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 hald was awry. The hands were gnarled and pale. It seem ed Impossible that Captain Pollexfen waa dead; he hail the look of having dropped off to sleep for a few moments In his bunk. It seemed Impossible that those simple eyes hnd but recently glimpsed murder In the ^eyes of an other, and that that existence had sur vived the seas of half a centary 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 hla spirit as he thought of himself asleep In the watcher's cabin while within a few yards of him, quick and ruthless hands had packed the unresisting limbs of | the oil atiior close to a common drain wipe In a common open street. Tbe policeman touched hla shoulder. The mortuary had emptied; the pri vate view was over; and the Inquiry was to ’ begin. It waa 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 soup kitchen, a work shop, a school—anything but temple of Jus tice. He had to show his subpena at the door, and he waa told curtly to sit on a certain bench. Near him he noticed a negro. The room 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 opposite to the wit nesses; at the hack were a handful of persona 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. Theh there was a movement; every body rose; and the coroner, the cele brated Mr. Acrefalr, known by name to all newspaper readers, entered. He waa a thin, active man of 45 or so, dresssd like a stock broker, and he carried a brown bag. In a fraction of time he had 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 his days In an at mosphere of sudden, violent and mys terious death. He waa Impasslonable, disillusioned, undecelvable, and his methods were very rapid because he Invariably had rather more work than he could do. In an hour and n 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, and 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 unex- aggerated and unmlnlmlzed truth, his lust estimate of human nature; his habit of absolute authority—those qualities astounded and delighted Phil ip, who thought how Interesting It would be to catch that man one night In a quiet corner of his club nnd, through a haze of cigar smoke, listen to such philosophy as life had taught him. And then Mr. Acrefalr. after bavin; signed some papers hurriedly, lookec up at the Jury, and said In a new tone of voice: "The next enso Is somewhat remark, able, gentlemen, nnd will demand your special attention.” Ho apparently knew all about It. The first witness was the constable who had been called to assist at the unenrthlng of the body. He gave his evidence ns he might have poured tea out of a pot, smoothly, without paus ing and without being questioned. Ho hail merely watched the latter pnrt of the process of exhumation. The corpse was lying parallel to the drain pipe, close to It, and with the face toward It. He had nfterwards superintended the removal to the mortuary. He had been summoned nt 7:15 on Tuesday morning. Having stated these facts he shut his little note book. "You searched the body?" asked tho coroner. "Yes, sir." "What did you find?” "Nothing whatever, sir.” The coroner wrote, and gaxed ab- •ently at n chromograph of the Prince of Wales which ornamented the wall In front of hlin. Then came a doctor, a portly nnd pompous man, 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 lind to.llvo up to. "You have made a post-mortem ex amlnntlon of the body of the man Ue acrlbed by the Inst witness?” "Yesterday afternoon.” "What was the cause of death?" "Concussion nnd compression of the brnln, caused by n violent blow nt the base of the skull." "Compression of the brain?" asked the foreman of tho Jury seemingly re solved nt all costa to protect the Jury from mystification. He had a long gray beard, and n kind of rivalry was established. "Will tho gentleman kind ly tell us whnt compression of the brnln Is?" "In the pathological sense?" "In sense." "Compression of the brain occurs whenever Its structure Is so squeezed that Its functions are In any degree Interfered with." "Thank you," said the foreman. "There were punctlform hemor rhages," continued the doctor, taking Ills revenge, "In the pores varollt and In tho tloor of the fourth ventrlc. The whole surface of the brain was In tensely congested. There was no ex ternal lesion; merely a very slight abrasion of the eperdermls over n cir cular area of about five square Inches." "Not five Inches square?" asked the coroner. "No, sir, five square Inches." "Was death Instantaneous?' "It Is Impossible lo say." "Was the man dead before he was burled ?" "Yer." ‘‘At what time do you estimate died?' "I began the necropsy at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. I Judge that he ind then been dead about 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 moat." "With what kind of an Instrument do you suppose the blow was deliv ered?” "Something soft and heavy. Proba- ATLANTA. QA. V Tho Leadlna Business School of the South.
