"And then a bit of lobster mayon-

Dumllatre forced himself to smile.
"And then pheasant,” said Josephine.
"Ics. madame, certainly.”
"And then some nice ripe Gorgon-
*°"And the wlneT’ Tony asked.
"Ob, I leave that to you,” said Jose-
ilne. "But fix*, of course.”
She looked round for applause at the
two men and the high priest, and the
iwoecolytes, oner they ail applauded.
Josephine was one of your success
ful artists who have never doubted that
liulr 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
iltustlon to which she did not find
enslf equal had not yet arisen.
As Philip scanned surreptitiously her
black eyes and heavy lips, her ample
collture, her rich and strictly confined
form, her long pointed finger nails, and
bsr 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
umsied 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
PhlUp saw himself treed from the ne
cessity of Importing Glralda Into the
conversation, for Josephine remarked
almost at once.
Tvs got her dressing room.”
"Whose dressing room?” Tony ds-
nanded.
"Gtralda's, naturally 1 It's the best

It before, really. I made Talkee-Tnlkea
tvs It to me last night. That's why

hive been In an awful temper, and
m know how I am when I’m cross.

"What's your theory about Glralda,
Miss Fire?" Philip put In.
'Ohl So you've opened your mouth
last, Mr. Masters ?” the bright angel
observed with gayety.
“I am always afraid of chattering
too much,” Philip replied, meekly.
“Mastera has been in the Inquest'
uli Tony. "So the thing's on his
mind. Besides, he's rather Interested
is Glraldk."
"Oh!" answered Josephine, careless-
J. She had only one genuine Interest
In life—herself; but even she could
not refuse to discuss ths 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 Talkoe-Talkeo told me that
wrslda had sent word that she couldn't

"And It f«?"

Tony asked, with gloomy astonishment

was filled with fear.

"No,” said Tony.

“I don’t think so. 1
'Well—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 hls 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," eald the
rootman 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
Wjh *» here with you. Sir Anthony.”
"She Is," said Miss Fire.
.He wishes to apeak to Mias Fire.
Who Is It?” demanded Josle, per
emptorily. '
The footman had to consult the tele
phone. He returned and said;
Mr. Varcoq. of Scotland Yard.”
Josephine was genuinely taken aback
but she quickly-recovered.
"If Mr. Varcoe or Parcoe wants to
speak 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-
con? she Inquired of her men.
'Yes,'' they answered slrauitaneous-

An uneasy huah fell upon the par-
The distance from the Metropolitan
Theater and Pleasure House, that vast
and curious pile, to the Physlqub 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 hls
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 Josie’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. ‘Tve 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-
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
Miss Gtralda's. • Air. 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.”
"If 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
trait of Glralda In the overmantel
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 th* same
nose and* the same position of the
cheek honea. 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 aa on the edge
of a precipice, and that he must plunge
Into It. These others, did not compre
hend the terrible poetry that surround
ed the baffling tragedy like an aura.
He did not comprehend It himself, but
he felt Us 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 tho
daughter's elopement and the »fath-
ers death such a dramatic trick aa
fate does not often play. Aa for the
uncle—
"Have you found out anything about
the brother of the Captain?" Josephine
was asking.
Varcoe shook hls head. "1 was hop
ing you could 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 Gtralda'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 lips when Philip Interrupt
ed, addressing hls 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
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?”
"I received last night a visit from a
well-known gentleman who positively
begged me to lenve everything in order
to discover Mins Glralda”
"Who was that?"
"Ah!" the detective answered,
don't think I can—"
"Mr. Varcoe,” Josephine Imperiously
comthanded. "Tell, us at once."
The detective yielded.
"It was ths marquis of Standego,”
said he In a low voice. "Hls lordship
was beside himself with grief and anx
iety.” ,
There was a pause. Tony caught hls
breath.
'What becomes of your theory?"
Philip demanded phlegmatically of
Josephine. And there was a lack of
consideration for her In hls 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 hls dally swim.
As Philip left the room In the wake nf
the rest lie threw a final lingering
glance at the portrait. The portrait
smiled there, but Glralda might be
dead In some other part nf 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-GIralda
mystery monopolized every intelligence
to the exclusion of even a decent re
gard for the nation's ‘physical welfare.
A crowd of male acquaintances took
Jotephlnc by storm In the (oyer and
the name of Glralda flew about like
a shuttlecdck. 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.

Hllgay explained, there was a corner
for every one.
For. aa Philip walked up Klngsway
In the afternoon of the double lunch
eon, he saw an Immense crowd which
filled Strange street and bulged far
Into Klngsway, causing the traffic to
describe a curve around Its outer edge.
The faces of the crowd all pointed In
one direction, Ilka vanes In n steady
wind. And the occupants of the tope
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 tho lost possible
Instant where tho multitude gsxed. It
could only have been a curious coinci
dence that the clouds In tho autumn
sky were traveling In the same direc
tion. Tho multitude gained and lost
adherents every moment, as though It
had been a popular cause, but not n
Just one. Each pedestrian stopped,
aland, ratted hlmaelt 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! Reel tortoiseshell! Pennyl
Real tortoiseshell!" cried the man rau
cously, Intent on hls own mercantile
career.
"What’s up here?” Philip then de
manded of a starer In a silk hat.
The personage turned hls head,
dlcated In the English manner with a
single glance that they had never been
Introduced, and haughtily resumed hls
stare; 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-
tlon that It would fall down, or
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 th'
fenced trench where British workmen
were still nonchalantly meandering
through eternity. No policeman waa in
eight except one on the steps of the
Corner house Itself. Having reached
a point opposite the front door, Philip
struck bravely across Btrpnge street.
He had not achieved ten feet when
some one spoke to him;
"If you're going Into the house, 111
■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 woe too
much for hls strength. Philip guessed
that he might recently have come out
of n 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

GIRL PA YS LA WYER’S FEE
WITH LARGE, JUICY KISSES
By Private Leased Wire.
Catsklll, N. Y„ Sept. 6.—Kisses from
warm red Ups comprised the fee
promptly paid In court to A. J. Pow
ers, a law student of the New York
University, when ho won a case In the
vtllnge of Tannersvllle. Powers is
spending hls vacation with a class
mate, a son of Clminsellor M. Lnckey.
Counsellor Lackey appeared aa at
torney for the proprietress of a hotel
who has charged Miss Stockholm, a
pretty maid, with assauIL Miss Stock
holm had no lawyer and Mr. Lackey
suggested as a Joke that Mr. Powers
defend her. Powers accepted, and aft
er Mr. Lackey had mado what he
thought was a strong case, presented
tho girl's case In such a favorable light
that she promptly was acquitted.
Miss Stockholm Impetuously rushed
forward and smothered her young
counsel with kisses. The Justice of the
C ace smiled hls approval and Mr.
ckey remarked that he wished he
had been on the other case. Powers
blushed.
Philip, and, Ignoring Mr. Hllgay, who
stood In the door. , _ .
"Who It that?" Philip Inquired of the
landlord. ..,
"Hls name Is John Meredith, Mr.
Hllgay replied. "One. of our board-
"boesn't look very sharp,” observed
Philip.
"No, poor fellowl”
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, nnd then
to tho right, to hls room. There wore
Indications In the passages that house-
pnlntera were sooner or later to begin
their beneficent If deliberate ministra
tions; In fact, the essentials were pres
ent except the moment, os It were. In
obedience to on Instructive Impulse,
before Mrs. Upottery's door. It was
unlatched, ns 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 hls
own room, shut himself In nnd looked
around. It was the first moment of
daylight leisure he had had In hls
room.
He opened the window, being a
healthy Briton, and glanced out Into
Little GUdle's alley. He noticed now
that the window was newly fastened In
the wall. 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 pahes. He leaned forward hls
body, and scanned Mrs. Upottery'i
window, and he discerned that the par
tition between Mrs. Upottery’s cubicle
and the- hext 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 panee. The architect
had certainly been very Ingenious, and
Philip, examining the partition between
hls 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 hls study of hls 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 XIII—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 nf
that window and window sill was most
discouraging to an amafeur detective,
and Philip could only say to himself
with an air of deductive logic, "The
captain was carried down the back
stairs." Yet, on hls way to Strange
street, he had quite decided that the
captain had been put through the win
dow. t
Nearly facing hls 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, ir,.,
hls 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 aide of
Little Girders alley. He fixed hls hon
est eyes on the sinister window, and.
Indeed, he could dimly perceive re
markable movements proceeding be
hind Us vile glase—regular movements
of a sweeping nature, and he stared
with as much Intensity os people were
staring outside at the Corner House
itself. The window seemed to conceal
Important nnd terrifying mysteries.
Then he made out a long white object
thnt shifted to and fro, and was soon
afterwards pained and shocked to dlS'
cover In It nothing but a woman's arm
The woman was evidently brushing her
hair.
The mysteries appeared to be evapo
rating. Neverthelcsa he continued to
gase. And the movement stopped
brusquely. A vague human form ap
proached tho 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 dresssd for church.
She set nbout Indicating to Philip b[
means of a stare compased to whlcl
hls stare had been the timid wavering
glance of a child, that she resented hls
curiosity. She succeeded perfectly In
conveying to him this Idea. He red
dened, retired and shut hls window.
He withdrew from hls window and
sat down on the bed,, but such was
the crystal purity of Mr. Hllgay'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 hls Investi
gations Into the circumstances sur
rounding the captain's death.
Dusk was already falling. Hls eye
caught a card of "Regulations of the
Corner House” hung behind the door,
nnd 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 struck
a match, lit a cigarette, and utilised
the Inst flickers of the match to read
the regulations. There was one relat
ing to dinner. "Boarders are respect
fully Impressed that meats are served
promptly In the dining room. Break
fast 6:10 a. m„ 4d. Table d’hote. Lunch
1 p. m„ 8d. Table d’hote. Dinner 6:10
p. m„ lod. Clients wishing to Join
the table d'hotes should give notice at
least one hour In advance. Otherwise
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 hls customers was Irreproachably
correct.
