Philip decided to dine In the house. With two hundred and fifty pounds In 111 pocket, he was conscious of a pow- .rful desire to postpone the real an nouncement of the reign of economy until the morrow, and tp fare very well, git that night, at the Cafe Royal. But atlve force of character, aided by his rlsh to acquaint himself with the In mates of the house, enabled him to re lit the horrid temptation. After all, lie was earnest. Moreover, he had a ireer to carve, and Instead of dwelling the captain's murder, which did not .. the least concern him, he must con- ern himself with the process of earv- ng. He descended to the office and or- ered his dinner from Mr. Hllgay, who [eked off Ills name ln one of the ledg- ri on the desk In the office, and gave Im a little receipt for tenpence. A gentleman with an adventurous me and an appearance of. prosperity n<l self-possession was In the office rlth Mr. Hllgay, and this Individual timed at once to Philip. Mr. Masters, I believe?” Yes," salil Philip, gruffly, objecting the noise. I am the special commissioner of lie Evening Record. YJ’e are making special Inquiry Into thls-er-alfalr. had the pleasure, of seeing you In Durt this morning,' nnd"— So glad It pleased you," said Philip. I had only been ln the dock no oubt your pleasure also would have ten special." The special commissioner laughed lilly. "I shall be very much obliged,” he continued, “If you will give mo a few moments." "I will give you all the time there Is,” said Philip; “that Is to say. twen ty-four hours In every day. Take It every bit. I don't ask to share It with you.” And he left the office and the special commissioner. It Is difficult to Justify his behavior toward this representative of an au gust profession. The fact was,-how ever. thnt the Evening Record had printed a special column In Its best, facetious style nn the ducal episode *t the Jlu Jltsu sohool, and Philip had not been enthusiastic about the tone of the references to himself. He wns just a little late for dinner through having dropped off Into a dose during the process of excogitating upon hie future; he had not yet recovered all th» sleep Inst nn the night nf the mur der. He descended to the front base ment, where Mr. Adrian Hllgay's pay ing guests refreshed themselves In un challengeable respectability, with a certain nervousness. In the first place, ne had prominently figured at the In- Jiuest. and the talk would certainly henr upon the Inquest; he might be tptestloned; he might even be regarded !th suspicion. And, ln the second Place, he was really rather too well dressed for such an assemblage. To cat a ten-penny dinner In a frock c»at that had cost five guineas only a couple of days before seetned to border upon Imperfect taste. But what was If *° do? Ho could not be changing •alts all day. And If he had changed at all at that hour he might, soup holselessly, and a few were not. The place and the people looked ex tremely mournful. Philip at once per ceived that nothing can be more tragic than gentility divorced from riches. There were far more gentlemen than ladles, and far more aged than youth; not one woman was young, or had been young recently, and Philip was decld- dely the only man under forty. Clothes were sombre, vague, either too loose or too tight; linen was like snow long fallen. Conversation scarcely existed, and such talk as struggled into being was stupid and banal. He had ex pected to be greeted by a buxa of chat ter about the inquest, to hear a vi vacious conflict of theories concerning the Identity of the murderer. But nothing of the kind. Misfortune, dis appointment, failure and solitary life had made Mr. Hllgay's guests egotists of the most ferocious sort. They were swathed In Innumerable thicknesses of their wrongs and their exasperated desires and their foiled hopes. The murder of all the captains of the mer cantile marine would scarcely have dis turbed them from their fakir-like con templation of themselves which Is the characteristic of genteel and lonely poverty. They addressed themselves ti their ten-penny meal with an in tensity of purpose that was al most sublime. Philip had taken a place at the end of the table nearest the door; half a dozen empty covers separated him from his next neighbor, a man In a dark gray suit and a red necktie; not a soul showed more than a passing, faintly hostile Interest In him. The two persons whom It might have amused him to contemplate, Mrs. Upottery and John Meredith, the young man with the scar and the g leasant voice—were not present. loubtless Mrs. Upottery, after her exertions of the morning, had resumed her bed of sickness. Possibly John Meredith lacked tenpence. And ln brief, as Philip sat there, having Im bibed the excellent eottp. and await ing the excellent New Zealand mutton, In that low-celled room with its four cold electric lights, Its bare furniture. Its collection of forlorn but prim hu manity, and Its Inhuman boys Imitat ing, in perfunctory manner, the wait ers of a fashionable restaurant, a deep sadness took possession of his spirit; he wanted to run away and be Joyous; he wanted to pretend that there was no such thing In this world as ugly undignified failure. He swore he would not stay in the Corner house another twenty-four hours. Indeed, he had a mind to move straight away, without even tasting the excellent New Zea land mutton, to the Savoy hotel. With two hundred and fifty pounds he could have a hundred days of splendor at the Savoy. Then Mr. Vascoe came Into the re fectory. He was disguised as one of London's rejected, a consumptive man with pale hands and a flushed face and stooping shoulders; his suitability for a philanthropic lodging house seemed to be perfect, but Philip recognized him Immediately by his gait and by hla eyes. The recognition diverted Phil ip’s thoughts, and he was Inclined once more to remain at the Corner house for the mere sake of adventure. Mr. Vaa- coe strode uncertainly to the other end of the room, where a place hap pened to be vacant. He gave hla little receipt form and commenced hla meal without a word, eating raven ously. Once hla glance met the rov ing glance of Philip, and Philip raised ever ao slightly his forehead to indi cate to Mr. Vascoe that his disguise had not been Impenetrable. In return Mr. Vascoe ever ao slightly raised hla forehead, presumably to Indicate to Philip that he relied on Philip's discre tion. The detective's presence there could mean one thing only—that the detec live suspected the murderer, or an ac complice of the murderer, to be among the guests of the house. Philip gazed up at a notice on the wall, to the effect that nothing but fil tered water could be served at lunch and dinner, but that guests might themselves Introduce beer Into the house, providing the beer was bottled. And as he gazed the printed notice ap peared to fade and the portrait of Olralda to shine through It. The way In which that portrait haunted him, challenged him, distracted him, was hlghlv disconcerting. It was curious how the vision of It made him dream, made him resent the evidence of Sir Anthony Dldrlng, and even of the mar quis of Nandego. Was she dead? Would her wonderful corpse one day be discovered to the horror of the town? Or did she live, somewhere. In some mystery withdrawn? He dealt absently with the New Zealand mut ton, with the potatoes mashed, with the cabinet pudding, with the youthful ROUND TRIP And Cheap One-way Rates -TO- CALIFORNIA AND NORTHWEST Round trip Summer Excursions from sll points Esst to Pacific c «*» and Northwest until September 15th, with special stopover Privileges, good returning to October 31»t, 1906.

He heard the voice o_ Vascoe now and then, emitting some phrases which he failed to grakp. And the next thing was that Vascoe rose and left. Vascoe, beginning last, has finished first. He drank half a glass of water and followed on Vascoe'* heels. But when he arrived on the ground floor there was not a sign o Vascoe. Mr. Hllgay was eating neat [7 In hla office. He did not queatlon Mr. Hllgay about Vascoe. No doubt Vascoe was present In the house with the privity of Mr. Hllgay, and Philip felt, therefore, that he could not be too discreet Besides, he had no right to Invade the office of Mr. Hllgay, whose bearing toward himself, so friendly on the Tuesday night, had somewhat altered since the Inquest. He stood a moment at the front door. The crowd had dispersed. The workmen In the trench hod gone. The trench showed Its little warning lamps in Strange street, and without doubt the watchman, Charlie Lad, resumed his nightly vigil In the cabin at the comer. Overhead the sky was beau tifully clear and the moon Just rising. In a gloomy and wavering mood Philip climbed the stairs to get his hat and overcoat; the thirty diners were now straggling upward In ones and twos. It needed physical exercise and In two minutes he was heading along Holbom for Oxford street and the re mainlng distance to Bayswater. Nev er, he thought, had anything so do pressed him as the excellent dinner offered by Mr. Halgay to his boarders at the price of tenpence, or one shilling if not ordered In advance. He said to himself that he would have preferred to consume "two stone steps and a pint of thick." at a coffee stall. Tomorrow his career must receive attention. He must peruse with diligence and dis crimination the advertisements In the Dally Telegraph and the Dally Chroni cle, and he must advertise, he must get testimonials, he must gird up his loins against the world, he must con celve a plan of campaign. But he could not control his thoughts, not even though he bought a best ci gar at the little tobacco shop on the northeast side of Oxford Circus and began to smoke It ln order to steady his nerves. He could not dismiss that puzzling and distracted portrait from before hla eyes. He could not refrain from striving to penetrate the mystery which enshrouded the disappearance of Olralda and the death of her father. He tried to think of a clew, only one little clew, and the quest seemed atr surdly hopeless. Varcoe's effort seem ed to him equally ridiculous, for al though Philip had the highest opinion of the London police as mirrors of courtesy, controllers of street traffic and walking directories, he despised them as trackers of a criminal. He could Imagine a detective In Parts or St. Petersburg-performing miracles of craft, but London was too matter-of- fact. too blunt, too heavy footed. Had he not, for example. Instantly pene trated Varcoe’s disguise? There were sixty persons In the lodging house. Would the police search the entire building? Impossible. The stranger seen by Mrs. Upottery ln the Cap tain's room—how could the police hope to hit on that man? The boy who had given the false alarm to the watchman —how to distinguish him from all the other boys In London. These persons had vanished. Olralda had vanished. The dead man's brother had vanished, The blood-marked atone had vanished, The Captain's papers had vanished. And, to cap all, there were the confus ing and contradictory theories of the Russian secret society and the West Indian buried treasure—both of them wild. Incredible, grotesque theories— which honest, credulous, crude un conscious foolishness might be expect ed to draw across the true scent of the murderer. He was still fretting In the maze of multitudinous and useless conjecture when, at the Marble Arch, an Insist ent hawker forced him to buy the sec ond extra of the Evening Record at one penny, a hundred per cent aboye Its face value. He glanced through It under a lamp post. Nearly the whole of Page three of the Record was given up to the Inquest and to the brilliant futile performance of the Record's spe cial commissioner. The latter stated briefly that “Mr. Philip Congleton Mas ters" (The Record's passion for leav ing nothing out Is to be noted In the full and accurate revelation of Philips name), "whose connection with a re cent episode at the Jlu Jltau School, ln Jermyn street, will be remembered, be trayed a strange disinclination to say anything whatever. Doubtless Mr. Philip Congleton Masters had reasons for this reticence which seemed suffi cient to him." The special commis sioner had evidently also been disap pointed by his reception at the wid owed hands of Mrs. Upottery, but chivalry had prevented him from show ing thnt disappointment too keenly. Philip, feeling that, after all. a spe cial commissioner Is, Just as much as any other nentlent being, an Illustra tion and proof of the great Darwinian law of the survival of the fittest, care fully folded up the paper and gave It to the hawker to sell again. Instead of going straight on he turned abruptly down through the noc turnal groves of Hyde park, crossed St. George’s place, went along Bird Cage walk and so reached Westminster Bridge. After tarrying on the moonlit and lampllt embankment, he walked to as far as the Temple Station, and then mounted Arundel street and came to Aldwych and Klngsway once more. The Metropolitan theater and Pleasure House, with facade and glorious blue radiance of electricity, was disgorg ing theatrical patrons; the music hall moiety of Its evening's activity was not yet finished. Three nights ago, penniless, Philip would have crept by unostentatiously on the side of the road, but tonight, bulging with bank notes, he pushed with a certain care less deliberate annoyance through the well-clad throng. Every man except Philip seemed to be Intent on getting himself and his women folk sent home like parcels, and the openers of cab- doors, official and unofficial, were par ticipating In the prosperity of the Met ropolitan and British empire. Now among the corps of openers was a ne gro, and though all negroes have the air of being the same negro, Philip by minute Investigation soon satisfied himself that this particular negro was Identical with Massa Coco—not the Masaa Coco of the Inquest In broad cloth and many tears, but a Massa Coco attired In effective tatters for the business of drawing tears from the eyes of wealthy and susceptible females at eleven fifteen of the night. Philip wBtrhed him In the pursuit of coin until the crowd had thinned to a trickle of unhurried persons, and he was Just approaching to speak to him when, at the next entrance, the audience of the music hall suddenly burst forth to lake such cabs as the theatrical contingent had left. It was after half past eleven when Coco, breathless and apparently satisfied, drew Into the shadow of the OF NEXT SENATE?
