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.

Pollexfen smiled. ,"And mental soli tude Is apt to get on one's nerve*. Our little chat has really done m* a great deal of good. To return, however, to yourself. Now.

Yon would gradually lose your Illusions and your hslr, nnd grow Into a dissatisfied person.

And your acquaint ances would be waiting with suppress ed expectant Joy for news of your fu neral. A nice prospect, truly! Upon my soul I was regretting your Imme diate decease a few moments ago: I regret It no longer. Only your ene mles could wish you to live.'' "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 nice' to you, to us* your own phrase. But you will suffer the minimum of In convenience." 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 Ilk* to know- how far your honesty 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 knowingly do anything that might either directly or Indirectly help to bring me Into the hands of what Eng land calls Justice." "That I won’t give you away to the police T' "Precisely. Either now or In the fu ture. Also that you won't leave this yacht without my permission.” Philip pondered, thinking of Mary Pollexfen and Ilf*, and love, and the bright world.
