CHAPTER XXIX.
Auckengray’a Second Sight.
Hullo, Tony!" wild Philip with an
affectation of Imperturbable calm; he
stood at the door of the drawing room
saloon, holding aside the green portiere
with one hand. Sir Anthony was seat
fd at the little Broadwood piano, ab
penny engaged In the Infantile game
pushing down the keys without making
a sound. One op Mrs. Appleby's most
emotional songs, "O Dry Those Tears,"
was open on the music stand. The
baronet turned, saw Philip, grasped the
fuo t that It really was Philip, and
,bcn vented bis first explosion of sur
prise In a terrific oath Involving him
self. and beginning with the first per
son singular of the present tense of an
auxiliary verb. Nothing but that par
ticular oath would have met the case.
He strode half way across the floor,
then stopped, and deliberately repeated
the oath.
Whereupon they met and shook
Tt difficult for complex and self-
ebservant souls to behave quite natu
rally under stress of such strange meet
ings, but Tony's soul was simple, and
he behaved with perfect naturalness.
Ills pleasure and satisfaction and curi
osity expressed themselves freely and
naively, and the greatest of these was
perhaps his satisfaction. He forgot
Instantly the failure of the day and the
list of his stupidities, and saw only
that he had traversed half the world to
find Philip and had found him. His
opinion of himself flew up like a flag,
and he honestly thought that Sir An
thony was one of the cleverest fellows
on earth.
“Well, well, old chap!” he bussed
glowingly round Philip. “You see I
got your famous salver all right, and
came after you at once. And here we
are! Well, well! Came straight to
you. Scent breast high, upon my word.
outwitting both you and the police
also. 1
Tony blushed at mention of the po-
Ilce. He had not quite for-otten his
hoodwinking of the morn.
''The police have been Informed,"
said he, awkwardly. “But they would
nave nothing to do with my expedition.
I expect they are still poking about
London to find pollexfen.”
"Just like 'em," Philip observed.
Now 1 , old chap, to business. You've
decided you won't give up the Job."
“I'm d d If I do," said Sir Anth
ony. , "I’ll see It through. Pollexfen
may get his precious treasure, but
what's he going to do with It when he
gets It? We’ll follow him everywhere
till we can put him In Jail."
“Pardon the liberty, sir,” Oxwlch put
In. "But do you believe everything
that everybody tells you?”
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, sir,.about this treasure
store. It seems to me It's rather late
In Anno Domini for a smart chap like
this Pollexfen to be hunting for treas
ure. If he's really serious he must
have slipped by accident into the
wrong century.”
“I neither believe nor disbelieve,"
Philip answered. "I know Pollexfen Is
one of the greatest actors alive. And
I admit him to be capable of deceiv
ing any one about anything. But still
I Incline to the opinion that he has
not deceived me on this point, and
that he Is certainly searching for
doubloons."
"Doubloons!" Sir Anthony repeated
the gorgeous word, Impressed.
"And my notion Is that when a man
like Pollexfen Is seriously searching
for doubloons and has committed a
homicide or so In furtherance of his
quest doubloons are likely, to be about.
. . . You don't think so, Oxwlch?"
"To be frank, sir,” said Oxwlch,
do not.”
"I was of your opinion at first, Ox
wlch.” He looked at his watch. "Time'
up," he said.
"But how are you going back? You

Now tell me how you got aboard. You "white Rose's boat waiting along
gave me a rare start!
"I want a drink," said Philip, drop
ping Into a chair.
"Of course you do. Oxwlch! I’ll
ring for Oxwlch."
And he rang. The electric bell was
out of order, but a sufficiently loud sil
ver gong fitood on-a side table with a
lot of bottles and glasses.
The demeanor of Oxwlch, who, en
tering with extreme quietude, saw Phil
ip before Philip saw him, was a pleas
ing study In self-control. He had the
heroism to display no symptom of even
the mildest until Philip spoke to him.
"Glad to see you again, Oxwlch."
"Very kind of you. sir. I am more
than glad to see you, sir.” That was
all. He rubbed his hands slowly.
"Whisky and soda, eh?” Tony ques
tioned nbrutly. * .
Philip nodded.
"Whisky and soda. Yes, sir,” said
Oxwlch, going to the side table. He
turned his head and Inquired with
steady features; "Stiff, Mr. Masters?"
"Stiff, Oxwlch."
"Mine, too, Oxwlch," said Sir An
thony.
"I may as well tell you at once,'
said Philip, taking the glass ceretaon*.

"Am I?" said Philip. "And what

"Another, sir?" Oxwlch mildly asked
"No, thanks."
"Do you -hear this, Oxwlch?" the
baronet cried. "Mr. Masters Intends
tosgo back to the scoundrel, and what
Is more, he wants us to give up the ex
pedition.” His accent on the word
'expedition' narrowly escaped the sub
"'"But listen, Oxwlch,” Philip argued,
addressing the man Instead of the mas
ter. "You know enough of. Pollexfen
to .know how dangerous the thing Is.
Sir Anthony has no Idea what he Is
going In for." .. _ ..
“Might I ask, sir, what this Pollex
fen Is going in for?" Oxwlch observed.
"Treasure," said Philip. "And he
means to get It, and to get all of It,'
"In the Immediate district, sir?"
"At the Grand—No, I cannot talk
about that. I was forgetting my
promise.” _ . , . ,
"Just so, sir. You stopped Just In
time, didn't you, sir?"
"And you must remember, said
Philip, glancing at Tony, "that you've
got ladles on board.”
"Leave 'em ashore here," Tony re
turned. . „ _
-"If I may venture to say so, sir, Ox
wlch remarked, "I doubt whether the
ladles would consent to be left. But,
on the other hand, I do not see the
danger. Considering that the Wander
er Is guaranteed to steam thirteen
knots and can really eteam twelve,
whereas It appears that the White
Rose can only steam eight, I do not see
the danger, at any rate to those who
remain on board the Wanderer. If I
have aright the lessons of the last
naval manoeuvres, we should always
be able to choose our distance."
"Yes, of course," said Sir Anthony.
"That’s exactly what I *wns thinking.
Nothing can prevent us from keeping
Pollexfen In sight, -nd we run no risk
in doing so.”
"That depends," said Philip.
"What does It depend on?"
"It depends on Pollexfen. I've not
spent a fortnight with him for noth
ing. Are the police on his track, too?
Because •! back him to be equal to
side. Goodby! Good luck! I'm glad
you’ve decided Aiot to give up. What
really came over for was to explain my
position to you." He took Tony af
fectionately by the shoulder. "I shall
be all right. I’ve made my bed and
fancy I can lie on It. See one another
again when this little affair' Is over.
Au revolr, Oxwlch." And he shook
Oxwlch's unwilling hand.
There was a certain amount of feel
lng In the air.
“I suppose you've heard of 'force ma-
Jeure,' sir," Oxwlch remarked, tram
qullly.
"Vaguely,” Philip smiled. "Why?"
"You are going back to that rascal
In the White Rose, sir, If I may say
so. In pursuance of a promised word.
You gave your oath you wouldn't do
anything against him, and you gave
your oath to return."
"I did."
"Well, sir, there's an article In Tho
Encyclopedia Brltannlca that says that
an oath of promise given under 'force
majeure,' If I may use the term, 1
not binding, ^Ither morally or legal
, Philip laughed.
.."That's not good enough, my friends, 1
saW’-hef “You have advantage of me
as regards the Encyclopedia Brltannl
ca. But you know I'm an English
man."
“I rather expected you would say
that, .sir,” Oxwlch rejoined. "And "
didn't suppose that sort of an ency
clopedla argument would appeal to you.
But," he turned to his master, "there's
another sore of force majeure, and
another sort of argument. Sir Anthony,
that will appeal to Mr. Masters, even
If he's an Englishman fifty times over.
As I am myself, sir."
"What's thgt?"
"The brute force argument* sir, If I
may say so. Mr. Masters might be
prevented from leaving the yacht. 'We'
have given no promise to this Pollex
fen person. We owe no explanations
to this Pollexfen person. We didn’t ask
Mr. Masters to come on board—Excuse
me, sir, I’m sure I'm delighted you've
come."
By Jove, Oxwlch,” Sir Anthony
stamped his feet. "That's Just what I
was thinking myself. Why should we
let Mr. Masters go? We won’t let
you go, old man. Consider yourself our
prisoner. We'll keep you.”
It was as If a thunderstorm had sud
denly gathered Its forces around them
and was about to break.
"Will you?" said Philip queerly. “I
think not."
“Oh, nonsense!” the baronet laughed
awkwardly. "Come, old man. You'll
give up." And he seised his arm.
"Loose me," said Philip, flushing.
Loose me! Don’t be a fool. What
kind of a nice position are you going
to put me In?”
"I don’t think that Mr. Masters' feel
ings ought to be taken Into considera
tion, Sir Anthony. Of course, he must
struggle. We recognise that. But you
and I, sir, will be too many for him."
The two men closed on Philip, who
fought desperately and with swift an
ger.
Do you think Tm struggling for the
sake of struggling?" he exclaimed. "Let
me go. It’s disgraceful. I've promised,
and my promise has got to be kept.”
"That’s It. sir," said Oxwlch, breath
ing hard. "Stick to his arm. We can
lock him up in the smoking room,
sir."
As Oxwlch spoke these words a
slight sound came from the smoking
room, which communicated with the
drawing room; but the three men were
too deeply absorbed In themselves to
hear It. The battle waged hotly; two
chairs were overturned; a glass was
knocked from the table and found dis
aster on the carpet.
And then Sir Anthony caught sight
of a figure in the doorway at the op
posite end of the saloon from the smok
lng room, and he Instinctively desisted
from the attack. Mary Pollexfen stood
there, pale In her white dress against
the dark background. She was mo
tionless; she might have been there a
long time.
"What are you doing. Sir Anthony?
she asked In a faltering voice, and
stepped forward Into the room.
Oxwlch .collected himself and
sumed tho valet's posture, but his cra
vat was accusingly untied.
"We—we're stopping Phil from run
ning off,” replied the baronet.
“And does Mr. Masters want to be
stopped?"
"No. I don't,” snld Philip with fierce
emphasis. “I don't, and I won't be!"
"I may be wrong, Sir Anthony," Mary
said, "but. I think Mr. Masters ought
to decide." i
She was glorious in that Instant
with dilated nostrils, eyes flashing, and
arm regally uplifted.
"But, Miss Pollexfen, If I may ven
ture"—Oxwlch began.
"Oxwlch!" his master thundered.
"Good-bye,” said Philip. "Miss Pol
lexfen, I’m obliged to you. Good-bye.'
He passed out of the saloon and up
the companion, and the others followed
In silence. It was a singular scene,
peculiarly illustrative of the English
character. The moment the saloon was
ompty, Coco came Into the smoking
room.
Five minutes later those on the deck
of the "Wanderer" followed with their
eyes a moving train of phosphorescence
ns It receded mysteriously over the
water to the dying flash of oars. The
captain and crew had slept through the
episode the righteous sleep of honest
tars In port.
The next morning at 6 o'clock the
"Wanderer" wad coaling, and Captain
Chetwode In a bad temper, os captains
Invariably are during such operations.
It was observed that the "White Rose”
also was coaling, and since she could
be satisfied with less coal than the
"Wanderer" she had finished first, and
she was off westward.
"Sir Anthony, his nerves afflicted by
the experience of the night, requested
Captain Chetwode to' keep her In sight
much as he might have told the driver
of one cab In Piccadilly to follow an-
bther cab In Piccadilly. And Captain
Chetwode, ever on the watch for an
Instant, resented the Instructions. What
ho resented more thnn the Instructions
was the air of mystery that surrounded
Sir Anthony, Mary and Oxwlch. In
spite of his admirable pretence of hav
ing no curiosity, he hated to be kept
out of a secret. The boy and the boy's
mother had not yet awakened.
Just before weighing anchor a re
markable discovery was made. Had It
leen In the manner in which It was
meant to have been made, the result
would have been serious. Happily ma
rine engineers have a "flair" In regard
to their machinery which amounts to
tho magic of second-sight. Some mys
terious Impulse prompted Auchengray
to send a boat around to Inspect the
screw. Why should he have done so
There was no reason save that he was
a marine engineer and* Auchengray.
then became apparent that some un
known had wound n one-inch chain
cable round the rudder post and round
two blades of the propeller. The trick
had been accomplished with malignant
Ingenuity, In such manner that one
revolution of the engine would certain
ly have smashed or fatally twisted tho
blades of the propeller. But for Au-
chengray’s "flair" the yacht might have
been laid up In Bridgetown for a week
or a month. As It was, the delay did
not exceed an hour.

AT THE THEATERS
“The Tosst of the Town,”
Clyde Fitch has hit upon a novel Idea and
one that successful dramatists are likelj) to
appropriate. One of the terrors of putting
on a new play In New York Is the Inability
seenre facilities for rehearsals with
scenefy and costumes, the theaters In the
metropolis being used almost constantly
day and night. Ordinarily managers are
compelled to produce their playa out of
town before coming to New York for the
reason that thoy are then enabled to se
cure the use of a stage for full dress re
hearsals. Mr. Fitch demauds that compa
nies appearing In his plays shall rehearse
with scenery for at least two weeks before
production, and thnt at least six perform-

that the actors never see the scenery or

for theaters In New York for rehearsal
purposes was so strenuous recently that
many managers bad to take their compa
nies to other cities. However, “The Toast

Miss Jane Kennark Is essaying the leading
role In thst play this year, and she will
appear Wednesday and Thursday matinee
and night at the Grand.
“45 Minutes From Broadway.”
The Grand announces for next Tuesday
and Wednesday Klaw St Brlanger’s produc
tion of George Cohan's great success, ”48
Minutes from Broadway."
Corlnne playa the part of Mery, a ser
vant girl In the Castleton household In
New Itochelle. This suburb Is Just 45 min
utes from Broadway by rail, and this cir
cumstance gives the piece its title. In
volving about Mary in the development of
the story are a young millionaire, a sou
brette, a mercenary mother, a villainous
stock broker, many minor characters, and
Kid Burns, a young Broadway boy of
strong arm and noble heart, who expresses
a great deal of practical philosophy lu most
entertaining slang. This role, the opposite
to thnt played by Corlnne, Is acted by Scott
Welsh, who has made a great individual
success In It.

their usual elaborate mounting. The three
scenes utilized In staging It represent the
exterior of the Castleton mansion In New
