"To resume." said Pollexfen, Ignor
ing this definite question. "I got the
Information that I required out of the
late captaln'e pockets. It was quite
as good as I expected, and It quite con
firmed my view that he could not have
used It eucceaefully himself. I now
had various matters to attend to all
at once. I had to pretend to be III,
for reason* or discretion. And your
unfortunate discovery made of that
tooth out of my comb made It necessary
for me to appear at the Inquest. I
think my appearance at the Inquest
was rather masterly, don't you. Mr.
Masters? In the pleasure It gave me
It rivaled my finest triumphs at the
Britannia, Hoxton and Ford’s opera
house In Denver. It was, not to ex
aggerate, Immense. You may be Inter
ested to know that the captain knew
who I was before he died, I had an
Interview with him In his room, stormy.
In fact, pugilistic. Ths comb must have
got broken then. I had meant simply
to steal the few trifling documents that
I needed, but I faded In that. The cap
tain was too suspicious; hsnee the ulti
mate altercation. Of course. It ended
badly for the captain. Then, besides,
having to pretend to be III and'to go
to the Inquest and to superintend his
funeral, I had my marine arrangements
to perfect and complete. And then,
to worry me still further, I began to
have my doubts about myself; I found
out the Identity of the youth Meredith
—the chit resembles her uncle In cer
tain points of character; and to cap
It all I was compelled to waste precious
time In dealing with Mr. Varcoe."
Philip gave a start before he could
control himself.
“I see I am beginning to excite you
now," Pollexfen observed, with an
agreeable and Ironic smile. "Admit
It."
Masters was conscious of a feeling
hardly to be differentiated from terror.
And yet Pollexfen talked so easily, so
naturally, with such an undeniable
charm of manner, that his listener could
scarcely comprehend his own mental
disturbance.
"Where Is Varcoe?" he demanded, In
a nervous voice.
"Let me see," Pollexfen said reflect
ively. "Today Is Monday. This makes
the third day. Yes. ... All London
will knqw tonight where Varcoe Is. Mr.
Varcoe Is a very able man—conceit
ed, over-confldent, but able. He made
all his preparations, and he meant to
strike with a single blow, like Kitch
ener at Omdurman. He was guilty of
only one mistake. He thought f didn't
suspect him. Whereas the contrary
was the case. So that when he entered
my room for the battle of Omdurman
I was waiting behind the door with my
little Instrument, and the battle oc
curred differently. You asked me
where he Is. Well, on the day of my
arrival at the Corner house I was
obliged to And a hiding place for male
attire and other details, and I took
up the floor, loosening the nails un
der the bed. Nothing Is simpler to a
man who has been In all trades, from
navylng to treasure seeking, Including
naturally that of a carpenter, to ar
range nail-heads where nails have been
In a way to escape detection, even
under a close scrutiny. I could lift
and rsplace the planks of the floor
In a moment. I had quite a wardrobe
down there. Behold the reason why
you and your little friend found noth
ing when you feloniously searched my
chamber that night. Don't deny It—
don't attempt to deny It—I saw at once
you had been on the prowl." He
laughed quietly.
"f am not denying It,” Philip put In.
Good! 1 should have put the cap
tain under the floor nnd left London on
the morning after his death: but die
was unhappily too fal. And moreover
hi* weight might have sent him through
the celling of the room below, which
would have been awkward! These Ob
jection* did not apply to the rising
detective, Mr.'Varcoe, who was slight
and thin. He lies In repose under the
floor of that room, wedged In between
two rafters. His rest will be Interrupt
ed .. . the laws of the decoinpo
sltlon of animal matter . . . you
It's astounding!” Philip burst out
utterly revolted by the detailed confes
sion to which he was obliged to listen,
and which, Indeed, fascinated hint,
though as a snake Is said to fascinate
a bird.
Yes, Isn't It?" said Pollexfsn with
entle enthusiasm. "It Is astounding,
hen I think of the skill, the presence
of mind, the sheer nerve, which were
required for the whole operation, even
' am amaied. I have a certain regret
i bringing Mr. Varcoe’s career to a
close. But It Is a purely sentimental
regret, caused by his talents, and some
what unworthy of me. Of course, when
man becomes a detective, to be killed
Is part of his trade. The risks, If
not as great a* the risks run by- a
miner or a huntsr; or a president of
the United Stales, are considerable.
Detective* know that quite well. It's
fair. In this particular Instance Mr.
Varcoe wanted to get a person named
Bllllngton to put me to a violent death,
arrompanled by every circumstance of
shame. I objected, and the Inevitable
outcome of my objection wa* Mr. Var-
coe's own decease. I—”
"You may talk till you're black In
the face," Philip Interrupted the doc-
tor. "You know what I think. You've
simply no regard for human life at
all.”
Pollexfen gaxed at him. and there
as Just perceptible lowering of the
corner of the lips.
"You exaggerate, my young friend,”
said Pollsxfen. "I have.some regard
for human life, though It waa not un
limited. For example, I have much
more regard tor human life than a
cabinet of minister* who meet before
lunch and decide on a .war. The last
cabinet that did so killed probably
about ten thousand people per head.
But does It Interfere with their sleep?
Not In the least. What Is the matter
Ith you, Mr, Masters. If I may say
■> I* that you have never thought; you
ave never honestly tried to look at
thing* a* thsy are. Unfortunately It Is
- „v loo late." '
Philip said nothing.
"In the entire complicated affair, af-
er my original clumsiness In making
the captain unconscious permanently
Instead of temporarily. I only made an
error. You may guess what that was?"
Philip shook his head. ~-
"I bruised my wrist against the win
dow sash In low ering our poor captain
from the window to the alley. That
was an accident that might have hap
pened to any one. But I ought to have
washed and bandaged my wrist nt
once. And I did not. I merely ticked It.
Knowing the danger of finger mark* I
merely licked It. I was perhaps some
what nervous and hurried and I could
not bring myself to atop In order to
wash and bandage my hand. I did not
»
observe till my Job wa* almost accom-
J illshed that the wound had been bleed-
ng slightly. A pity, a pity! Never
theless that was my error. And In
stead of being loat In admiration of my
courage, my originality, my skill, my
Inventiveness, my Imagination, you can
find nothing to aay except In dlapralae.
Why, you can not examine a single
minute detail of my actions since I
first determined to have a hand In this
business of ths lata captain's without
being struck by my genius. Thus I
went back to the Obelisk hotel as Pol
lexfen after I had taken a room at the
Corner House as Mrs. Upottery, so
that there ahould be circumstantial evi
dence that Mrs. Upottery and Mr. Pol
lexfen existed separately at the same
time and could not therefore be the
same person. And look how I deceived
you. Consider how perfectly, with
what admirable sangfroid. I took you In
at Castle street! And In surreptitious
ly exchanging two of my hundred-
r und notes for two of yours, and did
not Invent an entirely new method
of disposing at full price of bank notes
that the police have put on the Index
Expurgatorlous? Answer me."
"You did," said Philip obediently.
"It le a pity about that Anger mark,"
Pollexfen mused aloud. "A pity!”
"Why? You have succeeded."
"I say It Is a pity because I like
you. I don't know why I like. you. but
I do. You are the sort of simple,
straight Englishman that appeals to a
complex person like myself, who owns
no nationality, and who alwaY* sees
two sides to a question. If I had not
marked that bit of stone, If you had not
found'It, and put It In your bag, If
your bag had not been lost. If Varcoe
had not by accident rediscovered It at
the bottom of the are* step* If he had
not left It In your bed room. If you had
not regained It, and become Infected
with a passion for dactylography—why,
then I should not have before me at
the present Instant a rather unpleasant
prospect."
"What prospect?"
"The prospect of—er—killing you."
Philip thought he noticed a tremor
In Pollexfen's voice. He sat up straight
on the bunk.
"What on earth do you want to kill
me for?" he inquired with splendid
amasement. "You've succeeded. You’ve
got clear off. Are you possessed by a
lust for blood?"
"I hate blood,” ssld Pollexfen. "Be
sides, there won't he any. And I don't
want to kill you. I should much pre.
fer not to. But where Is the alterna
tive? I can’t keep you In captivity
And the moment I let you go I nm a
lost man—or If not lost, a man In
highly dangerous predicament. The
porta of the world would be closed
against this yacht Inside half a dosen
hours. And such Is ths respect In Eng
land for those two Occidental fetishes,
the sanctity of property and the sanc
tity of the higher forma of animal Ilfs,
that the British government would b#
capable of sending out a torpedo boat
destroyer to look for me with a few
twelve-pounders.' No! It la said that
the devil employs the energies of ths
Idle, and he ha* certainly employed
yours. He has ruined your earthly ca
reer. and I repeal, I regret It."
“You can kill me If you like," said
Philip quietly. "But you're a scoun
drel. And I give myself the pleasure
of telling you so. Yes, sir," hs added,
moving forward and becoming a little
excited. "A scoundrel! Not to say
coward!”
Your previous position, horlxontal-
ly on the bunk, will be better, I think.”
responded Pollexfen. "You are com
ing too close. Do you hear?" He ad
vanced hla revolver an Inch or two.
And the musile /if the revolver, In
the confined space of the cabin, was
Indeed so near to Philip that almost
Involuntarily Philip slipped back again
on the bunk.
•*I did not begin to relate to you my
ehare In the affair," Pollexfen resumed
placidly, "until I had definitely resolv
ed what your fat* waa to be. I thought
It would Interest you to hear certain
details known only to me. and It ap
pears that I was not mistaken. I also,
as I told you at the beginning of eur
Interview, fett the need of talking
frankly to some one. A man such as

Pollexfen smiled. ,"And mental soli

little chat has really done m* a great
deal of good. To return, however, to

"And how do you mean to kill ms?”
Philip asksd.
"I will not tsll you,” said Pollexfsn.
"It I told you, I ahould not be 'quite

But you will suffer the minimum of In

Look here." Philip fronted him.
leaning on on* elbow. "You've played
a goodlsh few comedies this last week.
Ar# you playing one now?"
"I am not," said Pollexfsn simply.
And Philip w;a* convinced that Pol
lexfen wa* not playing a comedy. Dur
ing the previous hour he had gained
some Insight Into the man's personality.
H* had got accustomed to the seduc
tion of hi* voice, and to the strange-
nesa of hi* sentiments. Hs had begun
to admire Pollexfen. Singular phe
nomenon and a remarkable tribute to
Philip’* Impartiality—he admired him
because the fellow had all the courage
of his amaslnc character. He was no*
ashamed of his Instincts. Hs did not
seek to call things by their wrong
names. He never for a moment pre
tended that self-interest we# not his
sols guide In this sublunary existence.
Yea, Philip admired
him. But at the asms time Philip did
not precisely see himself dead. The
tremendous and passionate Instinct of
salf-preservatlon gradually assumed
sn of his brain and he began to
Ih* situation, to starch for ways
of escape, to calculate his chance*.
The vision of Mary Pollexfsn rose
before him, and aa that Image gained
clearness In his mind an anger against
Walter Pollexfsn—on anger which no
mere virtuous Indignation had been
able to excite—seether and boiled with
In him. Waa he to be cut off from
Mary Pollexfan? The mere Idea of euch
a possibility was grotesque. It was r(
dlculout! It was Inconceivable! Why
He and Mary Pollexfen had become In
tlmate! Only a few houra since, and
ah* was dining with him and ahe had
decided to trust him. to rely on him.
And after that he was to disappear
off the face of the earth according to
the whim of a Walter Pollexfen?
woman waited for him, and should she
wait !n vain? A wav* of supreme and
Ineffable tenderness swept over him as
he recalled the ton* In which Mary had
said, speaking of the false hair:
hop# you don t mind.” He could hear
her voice aa he lay there In the cabin
tinder the Implacable watchfulness of
-Walter Pollexfen. And that spiritual
echo brought the teara up to his eye*.
He felt In the profoUndest depth of
his heart that there waa only one thing
worth living for. • And he
had found that thing! And Pollexfen
meant to kill him!
"Life I* strange,” he thought.
In obedlehce to what secret end of
what secret power he had. hitherto
traveler through the absolutely com
monplace, been deflected fentn his
course Into this bliss of passion and
this danger of dtath? H* could not
answer. But he could sgy. wllh the
blind and magnificent enthusiasm of
hi* humanity, that ths bliss of passion
outweighed the danger of death. And
that had he the last week to live again,
nothing would Induce him to forego
those hours with Mgry Pollexfen
His gss* met Pollexfen's. Should he
rush at him and take the chance of not
being killed or seriously hurt by the
revolver? No. That would not
worth while. Pollexfen would not
the kind of man to run the slighted
risk in such a situation. And doubt
Ins he could shoot a* well as hi
Could use Ih* spade or act the part of a
woman or Invent Interesting svldsncs
at sn Inquest. The only thing to do
waa to wait, with a lynx'* eye, for any
development which he might turn to
his own favor. • • • And then the
Idea of watting chilled him. chilled hla
Inmost htart. stifled the mad hop** in
his throbbing brain. Ths fact was, he
waa doomed. He could do nothing. To
make a formal protest would be farcical
and nothing more. Should he make an
appeal to Pollexfen, an appeal "ad
misericord Ism?" Such wa* Philip's
mental constitution that not even to
win Mary could h* have persuaded
himself to that. He was vastly more
Inclined to spit out at Pollexfen his
ferocious disgust.
"I mutt say you take It very calmly,”
Pollexfen observed at length.
"Do I?" said Philip, scornfully. "If
you were an honest man you would
at any rate"—
"Stop a minute." Pollexfen Interrupt
ed him. "Whet Is an honest man? Do
you call yourself an honest man?”
••Certainly," Philip replied. "I have
never been a thief, much leas a mur
derer. and I have never cheated and
never broken my word."
Really!" was Pollexfen's comment.
"tVell, 1 suppose that'* an Ideal, like
any other Ideal. Rut I would honestly

would carry you. I have a good mind
to make the experiment.”
■What do you mean?"
•I will give you your Ilf# In exchange
for your word."
"My word?" Philip questioned. And
he had a curious feeling In the small
of his bark.
"Yes, your word thst yo> won’t

Philip pondered, thinking of Mary

bright world. He thought a long time
—several minutes.
■ It's a bargain.” he murmured.
"Now, mind," Pollexfen warned him.
