CHAPTER XXII.
The Compact.
“What are you leading up to?" Philip
asked. "That'* what I want to know."
“To resume," said Pollexfen, Ignor
ing thl* definite queetlon. "I got the
information that I required out.of the
late captain’s pockets. It was quite
as good as I expected, and It quite con
firmed my view that he could not have
used It euccesefully himself. I now
had various matters to attend to all
at once. 1 had to pretend to be ill,
for reasons of discretion. And your
unfortunate discovery made of that
tooth out of my comb made It necessary
tor me to appear at the Inquest. I
think my appearance at the Inquest
wa* 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
houae 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 hla room, stormy.
In fact, pugilistic. The comb must hare
got broken then. I had meant simply
to steal the few trifling documents that
I needed, but I failed In that. The cap
tain was too suspicious; hence 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, 1 had my marine arrangements
to perfect and complete,
to worry me still furf
have my doubts about
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
observe till my Job was almost accom
plished that the wound had been bleed
ing slightly. A pity, a pity! Never
theless that was my error.-. And In
stead of being lost In admiration of my
courage, my originality, my skill, my
Inventiveness, my Imagination, you can
find nothing to *aj> except In dispraise.
Why, you can not examine a single
minute detail of my actions since I
first determined to have a hand In this
business of the late captain's without
being struck by my genius. Thus I
went bark to the Obelisk hotel as Pol
lexfen after I had taken a room at the
Corner House as Mrs. Upottery, so
that there should 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 Caatle 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

Expurgatorlous 7 Answer me.”
“You did," said Philip obediently.
“It la a pity about that finger mark,”
Pollexfen mused aloud. “A pity!”
“Why? You have succeeded."
“I say it Is a pity because 1 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 always sees
two sides to a question. If t had not

Masters was conscious of a feeling
hardly to be differentiated from terror.
And yet Pollexfen.talked »o easily, so
naturally, with «uch an undeniable
charm of manner, that hla listener could
scarcely comprehend his own mental
disturbance.
“Where Is Varcoe?" he demanded. In
nervous voice.
“Let me see." Pollexfen said reflect
ively. "Today Is Monday. This makes
the third day. Yea. . . . All London
will know tonight where Varcoe Is. Mr.
Varcoe Is a very able man—conceit
ed. over-confident, hut 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 I 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 1 was
obliged to find a hiding place for male
attire and other detaile. and 1 took
up the floor, loosening the nalta un
der the bed. Nothing la 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
nnd replace the planka 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 aaw at once
you had been on the prowl.” He
laughed quietly.
"1 am not denying It." Philip put In.
“Good! I should hava put the cap
tain under the floor nnd left London on
the morning after hla death; but he
waa unhappily too fat. And moreover
his weight might have sent him through
the celling of the room below, /which
would have been awkward! These ob
jections did not apply to the rising
detective, Mr. Varcoe, who was slight
and thin. He Ilea In repose under the
floor of that room, wedged In between
two rafters. His rest will be Interrupt
ed . . . the taws of the decompo
sition of animal matter . . . you
see?”
"It’s astounding!" Philip burst out
utterly revolted by the detailed confes
sion to which he was obliged to listen,
and which, Indeed, fascinated him.
though as a snake Is said to fascinate
n bird.
"Yes. Isn’t It?" said Pollexfen with
gentle enthusiasm. "It Is astounding.
When I think of the skill, the presence
of mind, the sheer nerve, which were
required for the whole operation, even
I am amaied. I have a certain regret
in bringing Mr. Varcoe’s career to a
close. Rut It Is n purely sentimental
regret, caused by Ms talents, and some
what unworthy of me. Of course, when
a man become* a detective, to be killed
Is part of hla trade. The risks, If
not as grent as the risks run by a
miner or a hunter; or a president of
the United Statee, are considerable.
Detectives 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,
accompanied by every circumstance of
ehame. I objected, nnd the Inevitable
outcome of my objection waa Mr. Var-
coe’s own decease. !—’’
"You may talk till you’re black In
the face," Philip Interrupted the doc
tor. "You know what I think. You've
almply no regard for human life at
all.”
Pollexfen gaaed at him. and there
was Just perceptible lowering of the
corner of the lips.
"You exaggerate, my young friend,"
said Pollexfen. ”1 have aome regard
for human life, though It waa not un
limited. For example, I have much
more regard for human life than a
cabinet of mlnlstere who meet before
lunch and decide on a war. The laet
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
with you, Mr. Masters, If I may say
so. Is that you have never thought; you
have never honestly tried to look at
things as they are. Unfortunately It Is
iw too late.”
Philip said nothing.
"In the entire complicated affair, af
ter my original clumslneaa In making
the captain unconscious permanently
Instead of temporarily. I only made an
rror. You may guess what that was?"
Philip shook his head.
”1 bruised my wrist against the win
dow sash In lowering 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 at
once. And I did not. I merely licked It.
Knowing the danger of finger marks I
merely licked It. 1 wa* $ierhaps some-
whnt nervous and hurried and I could
not bring myself to stop In order to
wash and bandage my hand. I did not

no, Il f!,**2 found It, and put It In your bag. If
“h. Slf bag had not been lost. If Varcoe
] had not by accident rediscovered It at
the bottom of the area steps, 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 V
"The prospect of—er—killing you.”
Philip thought he noticed a tremor
In Pollexfen’e 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 hat# blood," said Pollexfen
sides, there won’t be 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 am a
lost man—or If not lost, a man in a
highly dangerous predicament. The
ports of the world would be closed
against this yacht Inside half a doxen
hours. And such Is the respect In Eng
land for those two Occidental fetishes,
the sanctity of property and the sanc
tity of the higher forms of nntmal life,
that the British government would be
capable of sending out a torpedo boat
destroyer to look for me with a few
twelve-pounders. No! It Is said that
the devil employe the energies of the
Idle, and he has certainly employed
yours. He has ruined your earthly ca
reer. and I repeat, I regret It."
"You can kill me If you like,” aald
Philip quietly. "But you’re a scoun
drel. And I give myself the pleasure
of telling you so. Yes, sir,” he added,
moving forward and becoming a little
excited. "A scoundrel! Not to say
coward!" •
"Your previous position, horizontal -
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 muxxle of 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
share In the affair," Pollexfen resumed
placidly, "until I had definitely resolv
ed what your fate was to be. I thought
It would Interest you to hear certain
details known only to me, nnd It ap
pears that I was not mistaken. I also,
as I told you at the beginning of our
Interview, felt the need of talking
frankly to some one. A men such as
I Is apt to lead a somewhat solitary
life.”
•i can believe It." said Philip sue
clnctly.
Pollexfen smiled. "And mental soil
tude Is apt to get on one’s nerves. Our
little chat has really done me a great
deal of good. To return, however, to
yourself. Now, Just as 1 performed a
service to Captain Pollexfen, so I shall
be performing a service to you. You
are alone In the world. You've nobody

ought to have been born a millionaire
and become a M. F. H. In some rsmote
county, or you ought to have emigrat
ed to Canada. Your life would be de
cidedly a failure. You would gradually
lose your Illusions and >*our hair, and
grow Into a dissatisfied person. In an
other thirty years you would have de
veloped Into one of those tedious, aged
frequenters of clubs who go about
grumbling that things are not what
they once were and that the end of the
world la at hand. 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
mies could-wish you to live.”
"And how do you mean to kill me?”
Philip asked.
”1 Will not tell you," said Pollexfen.
"If I told you, I should not be 'quite
nice' to you, to use your own phrase.
But you will suffer the minimum of In
convenience."
"Look here." Philip fronted him.
leaning on one elbow. "You've played
a goodlsh few comedies this last week.
Are you playing one now?"
"I am not,” said Pollexfen simply.
And Philip was convinced that Pol
lexfen was not playing a comedy. Dur
ing the- previous hour he had gained
some insight Into the man's personality.
He had got accustomed to the seduc
tion of Ms voice, and to the strange
ness of Ms sentiments. He had begun

courage
of his amaslng character. He was not
ashamed of his Instincts. He did not
seek to call things by their wrong
names. He never for a moment pre
tended that self-interest was not hla
sole guide In this sublunary existence.
Yes, Philip admired
him. But at the same time Philip did
not precisely see himself dead. The
tremendous and passionate Instinct of
self-preaervntton gradually assumed
dominion of his brain and he began to
nsaesi. the situation, to searrh for ways
of escape, to calculate Ms chances.
The vision of Mary Pollexfen roae
before Mm, and as that Image gained
clearness In hla mind an anger against
Walter Pollexfen—an anger which no
mere virtuous Indignation had been
able to excite—seether and boiled
In Mm. Waa he to be cut off from
Mary Pollexfen?-The mere Idea of such
a possibility was grotesque. It waa ri
diculous! It was Inconceivable! Why!
He and Mary Pollexfen had become In
tlmate! Only a few hours since, and
she was dining with him and she had
derided to trust him, to rely on Mm.
And after that he was to disappear
off the face of the earth according to
the whim of a Walter Pollexfen?
woman wailed for him, and should she
wait !n vain? A wave of supreme and
Ineffable tenderness swept over him aa
he recalled the tons In which Mary had
said, shaking of the false hslr:
hope 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 tears .up to hla eyes.
He felt In the profoundeat depth of
his heart.that there waa only one thing
worth living for. And he
had found that thing!
meant to kill him!
"Life Is strange,” he thought.
In obedience tft what secret end of
what secret power he had. hitherto a
traveler through the absolutely com
monplace, been deflected from hli
course Into this bliss of passion and
thl* danger of death? He could not
answer. But he could say, with tha
blind and magnificent enthusiasm of
hi* humanity, that the 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 Mary Pollexfen.
His gate met Pollexfen'*. Should he
rush at him and take the chance of not
being killed or seriously hurt by the
revolver? No. That would not be
worth while. Pollexfen would not be
the kind of man to run the alighleat
risk In such a situation. And doubt
less he could shoot as well as he
could use the spade or act the part of a
woman or Invent Interesting avldence
at an Inquest. The only thing to do
was to watt, with a lynx’s eye, for any
development which he might turn to
his own favor. • • • And then the
Idea of waiting chilled him. chilled his
Inmost heart, stifled the mad hopes In
his throbbing brain. The fact waa, he
waa doomed. He could do nothing. To
make a formal protest would be farcical
and nothing more. 8hould he make an
appeal to Pollexfen, an appeal "ad
mlserlcordlam?" Such was Philip's 1
mental constitution that not even to
win Mary could he have persuaded
himself to that. He was vastly more
Inclined to spit out at Pollexfen his
ferocious disgust.
I must say you take It very calmly,"
Pollexfen observed at length.
Do I?" aald Philip, scornfully,
you were an honest man you would
at any rat#"—
"Stop a minute.'" Pollexfen Interrupt
ed him. "What la an honest man? Do
you call yourself an honest man
"Certainly," Philip replied. ”1 have
never been a thief, much leas a mur
derer, and I have never cheated and
never broken my word."
"Really!” was Pollaxfen's commsnt.
"Well, I suppose that's an ideal, like
any other Ideal. But I would honestly
like 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 life In exchange
for your word.”
"My word?" Philip questioned. And
he had a curious feeling In the small
of hla back.
"Yes, your word that 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?”
"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 life, and love, and the
bright world. He thought a long time
—several minutes.
