Manu- “ CI '*r. d by p j COOLEDGE & SON., Bavannah. he ivas at drat aware of nothing cept a feeling of fatigue and petulance, t seemed to him that he was like a cross and sickly child who had a com prehensive quarrel with the universe. Then he began to notice other Interest ing things, as that he was lying on his back on some soft substance, and that there was a small circle of faint ra diance In front of him to his right. He tried laxlly to move his arms, and he could not: then his legs, and he could not. Then he renewed the attempt with Increased force, <tlll without result. This made him angry. He struggled hard, was conscious of pain In his ankles and wrists, and muttered: Tm tied down.” Thenceforward his memory recovered very rapidly. He recalled all that had passed up to the moment of descending the companion. He put two and two Ingeniously together, despite a wander ing pain In his head. The thought flashed through his brain like a scien tific discovery that classifies and ex plains a whole series of differing facts: "Uncle Pollexfen's at the bottom of this." And shortly afterward ha aald aloud: "Well, I'm dashed!" His eyes had grown accustomed to the gloom, and he gradually perceived that he was In a cabin, and that the circle of faint light was a porthole. He thought of Mary Pollexfen. far off In another London, with Intense and violent longing. And he thought of the Courier and Lord Naslng, expecting the wonderful "copy" which he was to provide. From time to time he made efforts to free his limbs, In vain. He heard a key turn In a lock. The door of the cabin opened. A lighted match came Into the cabin, followed by a man. Philip's eyes blinked. The man approached a hanging lamp, care fully and deliberately lit It, blew out the match, dropped It on the floor and turned to examine the prisoner. It was the man of No. 7 Cotton street, the man who had led him, who had lured him, on board the yacht! Philip made no sign, though his brain was working at a high rate of speed. His temperamental calm always served him well in a crisis. He had fully grasped the futility of any kind of pro test, and he was determined to wait The man, with an air of cheerful bland interest, bent over the bunk on which Philip lay. "Hm!” he murmured, rather In the style of a doctor. Then he picked up a black bonnet which was lying near, put It on. gave a twist to hls mouth and winked. The sudden resemblance to Mrs. Upnttery was too remarkable to leave any doubt In Philip's mind. He was bound and helpless In the presence of Walter Pol lexfen, that protean being who. hlth erto unrecognized In hls proper per son, dominated the extraordinary drama of the Corner House. "Thanks for the three half-crowns. I managed It somewhat better this time," said the man softly. "What?" Philip curtly asked. It struck him that the man had changed completely. He now spoke with a high ly cultivated accent In a tone that was even more than pleasant. If Indeed he was Mary’s uncle, Mary's lovely voice was not the first of Its sort In her family. "The Insensibility business." answer ed the man. “A few days ago I thought my hand had lost Its cunning. It needs a blow of Just sufficient strength, neither too strong nor too feeble, In Just the right place." "Are you Walter Pollexfen?" Philip asked, ignoring these observations. "Mr. Masters," said the man, "I have come to satisfy your legitimate curi osity. I am Walter Pollexfen. We have had the pleasure of meeting tev eral times already." He smiled vaguely. "I wish you'd unfasten these ropes. Philip said. "You've not been quite nice to me. you know." Mr. Pollexfen responded. 'There Is a French proverb about the Indiscre tion of putting one's finger between the tree and Its bark. Yrtu committed that Indiscretion. It Is ridiculous to gird against the consequences of har ing flown In the face of a proverb, my dear sir. However, I am willing to release you. First, let me direct your attention to this revolver, and this knife." He drew Philip's revolver and Philip's penknife from hls own pock ets. "I will release your legs first, then your left arm and then your right. Having done that, I shall retreat rapid ly to the opposite corner of the cabin, nnd If you move off the bunk you will be translated direct to heaven. * ™?!J* tlon this because I have an objection to your Jlu-Jllsu tricks. It was a la mentable fault In my program »ha‘ while I was tn Yokohama I neglected to study Jiu-Jitsu myself. Do you under- stand what I have said? ... Perfectly," said Philip. Qo ahead. Your manners please me, Pollexfen remarked as he cut the cord. „ "I can’t return the compliment, said Pt In* P another moment he was free, while Pollexfen stood at the opposite; end of the cabin, the revolver ln one hand and the penknife In the other. He wondered whether It would be better to make a dash at the scoundrel jn- atantlv or to await events. Having re flected upon Pollexfen's previous ex ploits and upon the kind of person That the hero of them must necessarily he he decided that In all the clrcum- stances It would be better to await, ev 5S* r hai> i, •• he ventured, stretching and twisting hls legs and rubbing Ills n-risls "you'll explain what s the mean- ng of this foolery with me. ft took, to me as much like a theatrical dls- Pl *-rerta*lS?y h i n ‘»ill ‘«H y° u ” r f r,lle 1 Pollexfen “Have I not said that I ^m here to satisfy your legltlmatecu- -io.iiv As for the present scene It | rlosIty. AB i r „ theatrical dls- I* !? You see I'm a theatrical person ^ kindly He down on that bunk—-and kln u ' J j „o one to talk to Intimately "This," said Pollexfen, putting pen knife and cord In hls pocket and draw ing therefrom a small, pear-shaped bag inclosed In a long, narrow het. "It contulns a mixture of the smallest shot and silver sand. Shot alone would be too heavy, nnd sand wouldn't be heavy enough In such small quan tity. It's an Instrument of attack at- fected by the Hooligans of Lima, where I met with It on the back of my neck. I daresay you feel a slight soreness at the back of your neck." "I do." "Just so. I can assure you I was very awkwardly placed with my broth er’s corpse. No doubt every one thought the affair a miracle of prear- ranggment. It wasn't. But If I am not equal to emergencies I am nothing. I never embark on any difficult enter prise without a ladder of silk rope. I changed Into male attire. Then I de scended by means of that ladder from my brother's room Into Little Glrdlers alley, and I reconnoltered. The watch man was my first annoyance. I chat, ted with him and found out all about hls domestic affairs. I .then went up Into Holburn, discovered a naughty boy at a coffee stall In Theobald's road and persuaded him that there was an excellent practical Joke to he played on that watchman. The Joke worked to perfection, except that you came along and spoiled the desired effect. How ever. you went to sleep. Then I wanted a spade. There was a spade propped up against your cabin. I adopted It. I dug n neat thing In graves. Then I climbed back to my brother's room, and lowered him gently to the ground and followed nfter. As soon as he was bur led I put the spade back, and revisited the trench Just as that Idiot of a po liceman came up. I was back In the house. In no time. The affair seemed rather distinguished both In con ception and In execution. What do you li'nk?" The man spoke Ir such easy unaf fected tones that Pnlllp, do what he could, could not retain the ordinary hu man attitude toward what could only he called, If English words were to re tain their common meaning, a dastard ly crime. "I think you succeeded by mere chance," he said coldly and nonchalant ly. Sweat broke out on hls brow and he knew It not. "You do not express yourself accu rately," Pollfexen protested. "You mean, or you ought to mean, that succeeded by masterly use of chance." “It's all very well to say that the af fair was an accident,” said Philip. "I have my own Ideas about that." "You doubt me. my dear sir?" Pol lexfen seemed surprised and hurt. "Jf It was an accident how came you to drug young Meredith on the very night that the accident occurred?” "Oh!" exclaimed Pollexfen, "I see hat you are running your head against. That waa quite another mat ter. I did not understand young Mere dith, us you call that charming person. Rut I had my susptclns. Young Mere dith had behaved for several dayg In a way that I did not at all care for. So I determined to Investigate the case of young Meredith, and for that purpose I caused a drug to be employed. How ever, I was so fully, occupied during the night that I had no opportunity to profit by the effect of the drug till morning and even then I waa hurried. Still. I accomplished enough." "You accomplished too much," Philip replied. How so?" You lifted the blind of Meredith’s room at a moment when I was watch ing from the street. It was Just that that started me In my Inveatlgatlon.” "Then I certainly accomplished too much—for your ultimate welfare, Mr. Masters." He appeared to reflect. "Nevertheless the fact remains both Interesting and Instructive. I ought not to have given way to my curiosity so far aa to lift that blind. Did I lift It In a peculiar manner?" “You lifted as a man who has killed hls own brother might have been ex pected to lift It," Philip answered coldly. And he thought: "My ultimate Welfare! What the deuce does he mean?” "Excellent young man,” said Pollex fen, waving the revolver with a didac tic gesture. "As a philosopher you have already attained to no mean pro ficiency. But you have something to learn. That absurd conventional em phasis which you put on the phrase 'own brother' convinces me that you have something to learn. One does not choose one's relatives. Forgive this platitude. But one does not. One owes nothing to one's brother. One's brother Is a mere hazard of life—of no logical consequence whatever. My brother was one man. I was another. Hence fratri cide Is no worse and no better (save In exceptional Instances) than ordi nary homicide. In truth, Just as there Is no Allah but Allah, so there Is no homicide but homicide. In the pecul iar example of homicide now before us I did a kindness to my brother. I claim no virtue for that—It was an ac cident. My brother was old, feeble, embittered. He had no friends. He had quarreled with even hls daughter. He was about to voyage In an enter prise In which he would assuredly have failed. He would have dost all hls money tn It. Hls last day would have been unspeakably sad. An accident my clumsiness—saved him ail that. And you would like to see me hanged for what I did! You astound me. You ■hock me. Let me tell you—” Pollexfen broke off suddenly, throb went through the vessel. It was the beat of the engines. “What In the name of Luclferl burst out, evidently startled. Keeping the muszle of the revolver In Philip's direction, he moved cau tiously but quickly to the door and opened It. "Don’t try any games,” he warned the prisoner, with a menacing accent, and Went out and shut and locked the door. The beat of the engines ceased. Philip leaped from the bunk, making straight for the port hole. With diffi culty he unscrewed Its fastening und opened It anddooked forth. The load ing of the other steamer was now fin ished and not a soul was on the wharf. He called in a low voice; he dared not make much noise; there was no answer. Below him lay a broad, flat- bottomed pair-oar. It was moored to the wharf and it was zvajrt&e to and fro; Its painter alternately fell Into the water and rose dripping; and the sound of hundreds of drops pattering on the black surface of the river each time the painter rose was strangely clear and uncanny In the night. A notion came to Philip. He examined hls pockets. They had been emptied. He searched the cabin for suitable material, and found noth ing but a salver that was reared up on the top of the mahogany erection by the bunk. He opened the mahog-1 any erection, which In a space of three cubic feet contained with Its drawers and apertures and taps and basins and hooks the conveniences of tire house. Ha cursed, as philosophers will In their moments of frustration. And then, while staring at the inte rlor of an empty drawer (lined with newspapers) he percyrived that the screw of the brass knob projected through the front of the drawer and was secured on the Inside by a nut. He detached the knob, and with the sharp screw-end of It he began scratch a message on the salver, was Interrupted by a knock at the door. He rushed again to the port hole and tried to put the salver through It. But as Its circumference was greater than the circumference of the port hole, Immutable Euclid was against him. In a frenxy of rage he bent the salver across hls knee. It would Just slip through thp hole. He let It fall Into the boat, and It descended softly on to the neatly colled tiller ropes. The knock waa repeated. Making no answer Philip rapidly fastened the port hole. "I say!" The voice was Pollexfen’s. Are you lying on the bunk?" "No, I’m not." "Well, kindly lie down on the bunk. I'm coming In.” Philip obeyed. By stretching out hie hand he could screw the knob home In Its drawer. "I'm on the bunk,” aald he. “Well, on the whole I shan't trust you.” There was silence. Then Philip heard the boring of an Instrument In the door, and presently an Inch-wide gouge rame through at the height of a man's eye and was withdrawn. An eye took the place of the gouge, end roved over the cabin. “When I say I'm on the bunk I'm on the bunk,” Philip observed. "So I see," answered Pollexfen. “But I preferred to see." He re-entered, making prominent the revolver. "To resume," he said. (Continued In Tomorrow's Georgian.) JOHN L. MOORE & SONS Lead the way In making line Eye' glasses.
