Josephine's Theory. »Nihv what can you offer us for lunch. Dumllatre?" asked the baronet. •TVeil," Josephine Fire broke In. "Oysters we'll begin with. Colches ter..'' Certainly, madame,” Dumllatre re- sponded. '•And then a bit of lobster mayon naise," Josle proceeded. Dumllatre forced himself to smile. "And then pheasant," said Josephine. •Tes. madame, certainly.” “And then some nice ripe Gorgon- *°"And the wlne7" Tony asked. "Oh, I leave that to you,” said Jose phine. "But fizz, of course." She looked round for applause at the two men and the high priest, and the two acolytes, and they all applauded. Josephine was one of your success ful artists who have never doubted that their success la the most beneficent re sult of a reign of absolute Justice in the world. She had a self-confidence which nothing could shake, and the situation to which she did not find herself equal had not yet arisen. As Philip scanned surreptitiously her black eyes and heavy lips, her ample coiffure, her rich and strictly confined form, her long pointed finger nails, and her general lavishness, he thought- lie could not help thinking—of the vio lent contrast between her and the wo man of the portrait, and he stood amazed before Tony's all-enchanting catholicity In love. The second luncheon proceeded to the perfect satisfaction of Josephine, who took entire charge of It, and led both'the eating and the talking. And Philip saw himself freed from the ne cessity of Importing Glralda Into tho conversation, for Josephine remarked almost at once. Tve got her dressing room.” Whose dressing room T” Tony de manded.' , “Glralda’s, naturally! It’s the best In the theater, and I ought to have had It before, really. I made Talkee-Talkee give It to me last night. That’s why Pm iu such a good humor this morn ing. It's a good thing tor you he did give It to me. Otherwise I should have been In an awful temper, and you know how I am when I'm cross. I'm charming when I’m cross, ain’t I?" "What's your theory about Glralda, Miss Fire?'' Philip put in. "Oh! So you’ve opened your mouth at last, Mr. Maaten?" the bright angel observed with gayety. “I am always afraid of chattering too much." Philip replied, meekly. "Masters has been In the Inquest,” said Tony, "So the thing's on hi* mind. Besides, he's rather Interested In Glralda.” "Oh!” answered Josephine, careless ly She had only one genuine Interest In life—herself; but even she could not refuse to discuss the tremendous lotdc of the day. "Well, I’ve got a theory—at least It Isn’t a theory. It's * cert, I know. I guessed It the very moment Talkee-Talkee told me that Glralda had sent word that she couldn't play." -r "And It Is?" 'The Marquis, of course.” uhteh Marquis? There are so many, and they are all alike." ", UI , 'nrely if you are Interested V ,j| valda you know about Toto,” said Josephine. "The Marquis of Standego. ,,we run otf together. That's what I. 1 ' H * * younger than she and as mad as « hatter. They've run off and .

Josle demanded curtly. “No," said Tony. * een him since Glralda vanished?’ “I don’t think so/’ .^" W , < !"r there T°u afe!" she clinched the dialogue triumphantly. "Didn’t I tell you I knew? Yes, nil It up, and your own, too, and try not to look like an undertaker at his mother's funeral, Mr. Masters." Her generous laughter rang through the room. A footman Intruded upon the feast. "A person wishes to speak to you on the telephone. Sir Anthony," said the footman in a tone of discreet, but sin cere apology. "What sort of a person?” The auery came from Josephine. "The person is at the Metropolitan theater, and wants to know If Miss Fire Is here with you, Sir Anthony.' 1 “She is," said Miss Fire. "He wishes to speak to Miss Fire.” "Who is It?" demanded Josle, per emptorily. The footman had to consult the tele phone. He returned and said: *. "Mr. Varcoe, of Scotland Yard." Josephine was genuinely taken aback but she quickly recovered. “If Mr. Varcoe or Parcoe wants to spook to me In such a hurry as all that, let him come around here; eh, Tony? I'm having my lunch.” "Yes, miss," said the footman. "Do you know Mr. Varcoe or Par coe?" she inquired of her men. "Yes," they answered simultaneous ly, and Tony added; “He's In charge of the Pollexfen case.” An uneasy hush fell upon the par ty. The distance from the Metropolitan Theater and Pleasure House, that vast and curious pile, to the Physique Club Is exactly 2,400 yards, and Mr. Var coe covered It apparently In a winged hansom, for ho entered the club res taurant within about eight minutes of the telephone call. Sir Anthony In troduced him to the dlvette, and his manner to her was all that she could desire. Except for a slight eccen tricity In cuff links and for a certain facial romanticism, he was admirably disguised as a finished, faultless club man. He refused to eat, having eaten; and he refused to take coffee^ having taken coffee; but he accepted a kum- mel and one of Josle's cigarettes out of Josle’s gold cigarette case. And he babbled amiably of nothing as though he had nothing to do, and there were thirty-four hours In every day, until Josephine brought him to business. "And are you a real detective?" she said. "I’ve never met one before.” ‘I'm happy to be the first,” he bow ed. "What do you mean to detect In me?” she asked, glancing at him through half-closed eyes, with a sus piciousness that was only half-feign ed. "All the graces," he said. "One thing I particularly desired was your permission to examine your dressing- room. which I understand used to be Mlsa Glralda's. Mr. Talkee, who has lunched with me, told me I could go In—” "Oh, did her "But naturally I refused without your authority. Did Miss Glralda leave many of her things there?" "Lota! The place was like a pawn shop, my dear man. I had most of them stuck up on a shelf over the door." "It you would show me the things, you might be of very great assistance to me," said Mr. Varcoe. “Very great assistance. Perhaps you and I could have a chat, If It won’t bore you.” He succeeded In conveying to Josephine that the unravelling of the mystery which occupied him, If ever It were un raveled, would be mainly due to the aid of her shrewdness and special knowledge. "Why, of course!" she answered. "Come round tonight after the first act. Here, have another cigarette, do! Philip was again staring, scarcely conscious that he did so, at the por trait of Glralda In the overmantel. Her calm and faintly Ironic smile seem ed to mock the luncheon party. He could now trace some resemblance be tween the portrait and the dead face of Pollexfen. There was the same nose and the same position of the cheek bones. And he thought of the old Captain lying In the mortuary, se rene, Indifferent, placid with the eter nal placidity. He felt that he stood on er's death such a dramatic trick as fate does not often play. As for the uncle— J'Have you found out anything about the brother of the Captain?" Josepbtno was asking. Varcoe shook his head. "I was hop ing yon coaid tell me something." "Glralda never talked about her peo ple," said Josephine. "She was always awfully close. We all took her for an orphan. Then you've got no clew whatever?" “To what?" "To Glralda’s disappearance." “Not yet.” "I will give you one If you're good.” She smiled grandly. And the name of the marquis of Standego was on her vermilion Ups when Philip Interrupt ed, addressing his detective: “I suppose you'll begin by finding out where Glralda Is?" "That Is certainly an Important part of the case," said the detective. "I hope you will," said Philip, with much earnestness, perceiving In Tony’s "And you are not the first," murmur ed the detective. "What do you mean?" "I received last night a visit from a well-known gentleman who positively begged me to leave everything In order to discover Miss Glralda." “Who was that?" . “Ah!" the detective answered, don't think I can—' “Mr. Varcoe," Josephine Imperiously commanded. "Tell us at once.” The detective yielded.' "It was the marqul* of Standego, said he In a low voice. "His lordship was beside himself with grief and anx iety.” There was a pause. Tony caught hie breath. "What becomes of your theory?" Philip demanded phlegmatically of Josephine. And there was a lack of consideration for her in his tone that made her furious. “Oh, well!” she muttered, and stop ped. "Till tonight then," said the detec tive, rising, and the party broke up. Sir Anthony, acutely disturbed, aban doned even tho Idea of his dally swim. As Philip left the room In the wake of the rest he threw a final lingering glance at the portrait. The portrait smiled there, but Glralda might be dead In some other part of London, and In yet another part of London the uncle might also be dead! Philip was conscious of a strange and powerful emotion. The club was now crowded with members, and word had passed that Josephine Fire had been lunching with Sir Anthony and an unknown man with a square Jaw, and the renowned de tective, Varcoe. The Pollexfen-Glralda mystery monopolized every Intelligence to the exclusion-of even a decent re gard for the nation's physical welfare. A crowd of mole acquaintances took Josephine by storm In the foyer and the name of Glralda flew about like a shuttlecock. Seven men assisted Tony to put Glralda's rival Into her carriage. Later, In the streets, the extraor dinary prevalence of contents bills all crying out "Glralda" gave Philip the notion that the whole of London was obsessed by the dire mystery. As In deed It was.

WRITE ME FOR RATES AND INFORMATION, J. P. .VAN RENSSELAER, General Agt., 124 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Ga. R 0. BEAN, T. P. A. Ing at the Corner house, where, as Mr. Hllgay explained, there was a corner for every one. For, as Philip walked up Klngsway In the afternoon of the double lunch eon, he saw un immense crowd which filled Strange street and bulged far Into Klngsway, causing the traffic to describe a curve around Its ogiter edge. The faces of the crowd all pointed In one direction, like vanes In a steady wind. And the occupants of the tops of motor omnibuses and the drivers of cabs and vans, and the riders of news paper bicycles, and the pushers of hand carta twisted their necks as they passed in order to gaze to the last possible Instant where the multitude gazed. It could only have been a curious coinci dence that the cloudil In the autumn sky were traveling In the same direc tion. The multitude gained nnd lost adherents every moment, as though It had been a popular cause, but not a Just one. Each pedestrian stopped, stared, raised himself on tip-toe, stared again vigorously, doggedly, manfully and then departed, full of profound re gret at the necessity to depart. But a few held on, heedless of everything save what they stared at; they had apparently been staring for hours and they would be capable of staring for hours more. On the rim of the con course, between the latest adherents and the traffic of London that rolled sparsely by, was a ragged man selling toothpicks. "What's up here?” Philip asked him. "Penny! Real tortoiseshell! Penny! Real tortoiseshell!” cried the man rau cously, Intent on his own mercantile career. 'What's up here?” Philip then de manded of a starer In a silk hat. The personage turned his head, In dicated In the English manner with a single glance that they had never been Introduced, and haughtily resumed his ■tare; then coughed and went away. "What are they staring at?" Philip asked a boy. "That's the Corner ’ouse," answered the boy. ■But what are they staring at?" ‘They're a-looklng at It," the boy explained. It dawned upon Philip's benighted Intelligence that the crowd was staring at the Corner house, not In the ex pectation that It would fall down, or blow up. or give a display of fireworks, but merely .because It was the Corner house and connected with a murder. He elbowed himself Into the mass, with difficulty, to the accompaniment of anathemas, edging along by the fenced trench where British workmen were still nonchalantly meandering through eternity. No policeman was In sight except one on the steps of the Corner house Itself. Having reached a point opposite the front door, Philip struck bravely across Strange street. He had not achieved ten feet when some one spoke to him: "If yon’re going Into the house. I’ll stick behind you." It was a young man, slim and fair, dressed like a clerk, with a rather handsome face, quite spoiled by a ter rible scar on the'left cheek. What Impressed PhlllpVas the appealing and beautiful quality of the voice. He no ticed that the man was extremely pale and breathing hard, the struggle to penetrate the pressing crowd was too much for his strength. Philip guessed that he might recently have come out of a hospital. "Right you are,” said Philip with cheerfulness. In three minutes they had arrived at the policeman, who, after an expla nation, let them In. The young man ran upstairs without another word to Philip, and, Ignoring Mr. Hllgay, who stood In the door. Who Is that?" Philip Inquired of the landlord. . .. _ "His name Is John Meredith, Mr. Hllgay replied. "One of our board ers." "Doesn’t look very sharp, observed Philip. "No, poor fellow!" Philip also went upstnlrs slowly, and arrived at the summit of the first flight. He traversed still more slowly the passages, first to the left, and then to the right, to his room. There were Indications In the passages that house- painters were sooner or later to begin their beneficent If deliberate ministra tions; In fact, the essentials were pres ent except tho moment, as It were, In obedience to an Instructive Impulse, before Mrs. Upottery's door. It was unlatched, as he could hear a move ment and a slight, genteel cough. Then, ashamed of this unpollte pause at a lady’s portal, he passed Into his own room, shut himself In and looked around. It was the first moment of daylight leisure he had had In his room. He opened the window, being a healthy Rrlton, and glanced out Into Little Glldle’s alley. He noticed now that the window was newly fastened In the wall. lie perceived that the sub division of the old large rooms of the house Into cubicles had been attended by problems ot lighting, and that In this Instance the problem had been solved by making a new window, com paratively small, and nearly square, on the casement principle, but with four large panes. He leaned forward his body, and scanned Mrs. Upottery's window, and he discerned that the par tition between Mrs. Upottery's cubicle nnd the next further on occurred ex actly In the center of one of the old window spaces, cutting It In two; here, the architect had left the outer frame of the window while altering the ar rangement of the panes. The architect had certainly been very Ingenious, and Philip, examining the partition between his own room and Mrs. Upottery's, saiv that It was of exceptional solidi ty, and probably Justified Mr. Hllgay's proud epithet of sound-proof. He resumed his study of his window. Yea, a body might easily have been insinuated through It; the drop to the alley was thirteen or fourteen feet. There was no sign of wear and tear on the sill—no tell-tale smear of blood, no significant tuft of hair lodged In an Interstice, no alluring scrap of blue cloth to match the drad captain's reefer Jacket. In short, nothing on which to fasten suspicion. The Innocence of that window and window sill was most discouraging to an amateur detective.: nnd Philip could only say to himself! with an air of deductive logic, "The' captain was carried down* the back stairs.’’ Yet, on his way to Strange street, he had quite decided that the captain had been put through the win dow. ’ Nearly facing his own, on the oppo site side of the alley, was another window, a dirty and sinister window, and the distance between the two was not more than eight feet. Instantly his mind began to run on collusions and corporations In crime, engineered by conspirators In different houses. Perhaps the clew to the mystery lay In the house on the opposite side of Little Girders alley. He fixed his hon est eyes on the sinister window, and. Indeed, he could dimly perceive re markable movements .proceeding be hind Its vile glass—regular movements of a sweeping nature, and ha stared with aa much Intensity os people were staring outside at the Corner House Itself. The window seemed to conceal Important and terrifying mysteries. Then he made out a long white object that shifted to and fro, and was soon afterward* pained and shocked to dis cover In It nothing but n woman's arm. The woman was evidently brushing her hair. The mysteries appeared to be evapo rating. Nevertheless he continued to gaze. And the movement stopped brusquely. A vague human form ap proached the window and opened It, and It proved to be that of a youngish woman with a hard and handsome face. She held a comb In one hand, and she leaned her elbows on her sill. She was not precisely dressed for church. She set nbout indicating to Philip b; means of a stare compared to whlcl his stare had been the timid wavorlng glanco of a child, that she resented his curiosity. She succeeded perfectly In conveying to him this Idea. He red dened, retired and shut his window. He withdrew from his window nnd sat down on the bed, but such was the crystal purity of Mr. Hllgay's glass that the womnn still held him with her relentless eyes. She had defeated him; she meant to rout him. He rose and pulled clown the blind. Thus abruptly ended the first series of his Investi gations Into the circumstances sur rounding the captain's death. Dusk was already falling. His eye caught a card of “Regulations of the Corner House" hung behind the door, and In order to read It he turned the electric switch, but light did not flash responsively forth, because the hour for electricity was not yet. He atruck a match, lit a cigarette, and utilized the lost flickers of the match to read the regulations. There was one relat ing to dinner. "Boarders are respect fully Impressed that meals are served promptly In the dining room. Brenk- fast 8:30 a. m., 4d, Table d'hote. Lunch 1 p. m., 8d. Table d'hote. Dinner 6:30 p. m., lOd. Clients wishing to join the table d'hotes should give notice at leant one hour In advance. Otherwlee an extra fee of twopence will be charged. Boarders are respectfully In formed that payment must be made at the time of giving such notice." The words "respectfully Informed” oc curred seventeen times on the card, proving that Mr. Hllgay's attitude to ward his customers was Irreproachably correct. (Continued In Tomorrow’s Georgian.)
