Tony asked. “Oh, I leave that to you," said Jose- I chine. "But fix*, of course." She looked round for applause at the pro men and the high priest, and the tno acolytes, and they all applauded. Josephine was ono of your success ful artists who have never doubted that their success Is the most beneficent re mit 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 And herself equal had not yet arisen. As Philip scanned surreptitiously her hlsek eyes and heavy lips, her ample coiffure, her rich and strictly confined form, her long pointed finger nails, and her general lavlshness, he thought— he could not help thinking—pf the vio lent contrast between her and the wo man of the portrait, and he stood united before Tony's all-enchanting catholicity In love. The second luncheon proceeded 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 Gtralda Into the conversation, for Josephine remarked slmost at once. Tve got her dressing room." "Whose dressing room?" Tony de manded. “Glralda's, naturally! It’s the best In the thester, and I ought to have had It before, really, I made Talkee-Talkea give It to me last night. That’s why I'm In such a good humor this morn ing. It's a good thing for you he did give It to me. Otherwise I should hive been in an awful temper, and you know how I am when I'm cross. Pm charming when Pm cross, ain’t I?" “What’s your theory about Glralda, Mu Fire?” Philip put In. "Oh! So you've opened your mouth it last, Mr. Masters ?” ths bright angel observed with gayety. "I am always afraid of chattering too much,” Philip replied, meekly. "Masters has been In the Inquest,” ■rid Tony. "So the thing’s on his 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 refine to dlacuss the tremendous topic 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 oiralda had sent word that she couldn't play." “And It Is?” TTha Marquis, of course.” .'/’“Icp Marquis?

"No,” said Tony. j you *®sn him since Glralda vanished?” ”1 don't think so." ..'‘"i® 11 —there you are!” she clinched the dialogue triumphantly. "Didn’t I tell you I knew? Yes, fill 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 query came from Josephine. “The person Is at the Metropolitan theater, and wants to know if Miss Fire Is here with you, Sir Anthony." "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 ■peak 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 arts we red simultaneous- >Y- .‘’•"dTonyadded: "He’s in charge of the Pollexfen case." An uneasy hush fell upon the par- 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 he 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 cult 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-felgn- cd. "All the graces,” he said. "One thing I particularly desired wss your permission to examine your dressing- room, which I understand used to be Miss 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?” "Lots! 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 hava 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 the edge of the mystery as on the edge of a precipice, and that he must plunge Into It. These others did not compre hend the terrible poetry that eurround- ed the baffling tragedy like an aura. He did not comprehend It himself, but he felt Its power. He dimly glimpsed In the unknown murderer a ferocious and sublime personality—and, assum ing the correctness of Josephine’s the ory, he saw In the synchronism of the daughter's elopement and .the fath- ,» er's death such a dramatic trick as fate does not often play. .As for the uncle— "Have you found out anything about the brother of the Captain?” Josephine was asking. Varcoe shook his head. "I was hop ing you could tell me something." "Glralda never talked about her peo ple," said Josephine. "She was always awfully close. IVe 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 ot Standego was on her vermilion lips 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’i eye a silent appeal to him to Insist on this aspect of the matter. "And you are not the first," murmur ed the detective. "What do you mean?” ”1 received last night a visit from well-known gentleman who positively begged me to leave everything in order to discover Miss Glralda." "Who was that?” "Ah!" the detective answered. * "I don't think I can—” 'Mr. Varcoe," Josephine Imperiously commanded. “Tell us at once." The detective yielded. "It was the marquis of Standego,' said he In a low voice. "His lordship was beside himself with grief and anx lety.” There was a pause. Tony caught his breath. 'What becomes of your theory?” Philip demanded phlegmatically 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 the 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 unrle might also be dead! Philip was conscious of a strange and powerful emotion. The club was now crowded 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-GIralda mystery monopolised every Intelligence to the exclhslon of even a decent re gard for the nation's physical welfare. A crowd of male acquaintances took Josephine by storm In the foyer and the name of Glralda new 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. CHAPTER IX. Beginning of Philip’s Inquiry, Something freaR was surely happen ing at the Corner house, where, as Mr. Hllgay explained, there was a corner for every one. For, as Philip walked up Kingsway In the afternoon of the double lunch eon, he saw an Immense crowd which filled Strange street and bulged far Into Kingsway, causing the traffic to describe a curve around Its outer edge. The faces ot 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 carts twisted their necks as they passed In order to gaze to the lost possible Instant where the multitude gazed. It could only have been a curious coinci dence that the clouds In the autumn sky were traveling In the same direc tion. The multitude gained and 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 nnd 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 “GOLD MEDAL” BED DAVENPORTS. t) This cut shows one of our handsomest patterns.

Miss Stockholm Impetuously rushed forward and smothered her young counsel with kisses. The Justice of the peace smiled his approval and Mr. Lackey remarked that he wished - he had been on the other case.

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 stare; then coughed and went away. "What are they (taring 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 bAilghted Intelligence that the crowd was staring at the Corner house, not In the ex pectation that It would fall down, , blow up, or give a display of firework but merely because It was the Corn, 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 stepe of the Comer 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 you're going Into the house. III ■tick 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 Philip was 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 j'ou 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 1 ’Doesn’t look very sharp,” observed Philip. "No, poor fellow!" Philip also went upstairs slowly, and arrived at the summit of the first (light. 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 the moment, as It were, In obedience to an Instructive Impulse, before Mrs. Upottery’a door. It was unlatched, as he could hear a move ment and a slight, genteel cough. Then, ashamed of this impolite 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 Briton, and glanced out Into Little Glldle's alley. He noticed now that the window was newly fastened In the waH. He perceived that the sub division of the old large rooms of the house Into cubicles had been attended by problems of 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. Upoltery’a window, and he discerned that the par tition between Mrs. Upottery’g cubicle and 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, saw- 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. . Yes, 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 dead 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.; and 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 elnlster 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 ite vile glass—regular movements ot a sweeping nature, and be stared with as much Intensity as 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 afterwards pained and shocked to dis cover In. It nothing but a 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 by means of a stare compared to which his stare had been the timid wavering glance of a child, that sh# resented his curiosity. She succeeded perfectly in conveying to him this Idea. He red dened, retired and shut hie window. He withdrew from hie window and sat down on the bed, but euch was the crystal purity of Mr. Ultgay's glass that the woman still held him with her relentless eyes. She had defeated him; she meant to rout him. He rose and pulled down the blind. Thus abruptly ended the first series of his Investi gations Into the clrcumstnnces sur rounding the raptaln'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 rqsponsively forth, because the hour for electricity was not yet. He struck a match, lit a cigarette, and utilised the last filekers of the match to read the regulations. There woe one relat ing to dinner. "Boarders are respect fully Impressed that meals are served promptly In the dining room. Break fast 8:30 a. m.. 4d. Table d'hote. Lunch 1 p. in., 8d. Table d'hote. Dinner 6:30 p. m„ lOd. Clients wishing to join the table d'hotes should give, notice at least one hour In advance. Otherwise 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.
