CHAPTER IV.
An Old 8ea Captain.
They dined together that evening at
Sir Anthony’s usual-table In the Louis
Quatorse Restaurant on the first floor
of the Devonshire mansion. It was
the table between the second and third
onyx pillars on the left as you enter
by the grand entrance—not the en
trance from the suite of the Half Moon
Club. They had spent a curious, but
interesting day. It had reined most
of the time. After Philip, in his lacon
ic way. had finished reciting his Odys-
ocy to the young baronet he had an
nounced his Intention of going out
to get three suits of clothes; three
suits and no more—a lounge suit, a
frock coat with the latest In trous
erings and waistcoats, and a drees suit.
Philip meant to be economical, strictly
so; but with two hundred and fifty
pounds In his pocket he could not deny
himself the satisfaction of replacing
the dress suit which he had abandoned
a few days before to a pawn broker In
Gray's Inn road. Sir Anthony had re
plied that, having regard to the weath
er, It was absurd to go nut, and that
the mountain, summoned by telephone,
would certainly come to Mahomet. The
mountain did come; In fact, several
mountains came, Including a Mont
Hlanc of a tailor, and a respectable
Ben Nevis of a hosier. Nor was that
the only miracle. By the Intervention
of Oxwlch and the baronet Philip had
his dress suit within eight hours.
After lunch they had both, with ono
accord, fallen asleep, and slept for two
hours.
Then there had been tea, cucumber
sandwiches, trying-on, and a visit to
an acquaintance of Sir Anthony's who
had a flat In the mansion—Miss Kitty
Sartorius, the renowned star of the
Regency theater. It was Kitty’s "day"
and half the genius and all the golden
youth of London were there.
And then Philip had refused to dine
with Sir Anthony, hut hnd consented
to remain and dine Ik the restaurant If
Sir Anthony would be his guest. Philip
had explained that all the hospitality
could not be on one side. Moreover,
had he not relieved Sir Anthony of
llvi days' Income? And lastly, though
he meant to be strictly economical,
he did not Intend that the era of
economy should set In with full se
verity until the morrow.
"Look here,” said Tony suddenly,
during the timbale de macaroni, "we'li
gn for a run In the car tomorrow, If
It’s fine.”
“No," answered Philip firmly. "To-
nlK-ht I sleep at.my Corner House In
i lux corner .reserved fur-me by Mr, Hll-
gay. Tomorrow I begin to look for my
living."
"Suppose you don’t find It? Not so
easy, you tknow. You've been trying
>omo time"
i "Ah!’ said Philip. 'iHul then I had
not got three good suits of clothes and
money enough to keep me for a year.
That frock coat I've ordered will got
me a situation pretty nearly any
where."
"Then you abandon me to my fate?"
"What fate?”
"Why, I haven't got a friend In the
"vrld, except you. I'm not In love.
I'm not even In debt. I'm only bored."
sir Anthony sighed. “You don't fancy
I'm', happy- ,do you?”
"Not In love! You always used to
be."
"The fact Is," said the baronet, self
consciously, "I've had a serious re-
verse In that—er—department. It's
blighted my life, my boy. I shall never
hi' the same man again."
"No. I know you won't," Philip
.smiled—"not until next time. Tell me
about It. You’ve told me nothing real
ly exciting yet about yourself." The
tableau of the gay and Irresponsible
Tony ruined for eternity by a nopvless
passion amused Philip.
•'It was a—"
"Wall, go on."
“No; I won't talk about
can't. I’ll only tell you that I had
a stall aeventy-three nights running to
sec her. Whet do you think of that?"
"Sublime!”
"H’a alt very well for you to laugh
—Ha! Mr. Varcoe! You here! Come
and have coffee, will you?"
Sir Anthony turned quickly to
little, dark, spectacled man, who was
passing the table.
Mr. Varcoe stopped and bent the
gaze of his spectacles on the baronet.
"A charming Idea!" said Mr. Var-
coe. "With pleasure. I'll be with you
In an Instant.”
"Anti who Is Mr., Varcoe?" Philip
"It Isn't ascertained. 1
"But I suppose they've found the
corpse?" said the baronet as he set
Arc to an R. P. Mur la.
"Yes." replied Mr. Varcoe, still In
the same low voice. "It was found
this morning burled next to a sewer
In an open trench near Klngsway.”
"Philip's heart gave a Jump, and the
ash of his* cigarette fell.
“Nice sort of a cemetery!" Tony
commented before Philip could put a
word In. "Any clew?"
"One. There was a scheme to get
rid of the regular watchman at the
trench last night, and his place was
taken by a young man," said Mr. Var
coe, looking Philip kteadlly In the face.
"The murder was committed while the
young man was In charge. The young
man behaved very strangely to a po
liceman who happened to come up Just
afterwards. He then tried to get to
bed at a lodging house exactly oppo
site to where the corpse was burled,
and though he didn't succeed he In
gratiated himself with the manager
of the lodging house. Old Pollexfen
han been slaying In the house. This
morning, after the gang of laborers
had recommenced work on the trench
the young man was found hovering
near the spot, and he actually suggest
ed to the foreman that the soli had
bsen disturbed. He then fled.'
"Sort of fatal fascination that the
corpse has for Its murderer, eh?" said
the baronet.
“Perhaps,” Mr. Varcoe admitted.
Philip half atnod up, then sank back.
"You’re a detective, Mr. Varcoe!" h<
blurted out.
And Mr. Varcoe calmly said:
“I am."
“A detective!" exclaimed Anthony,
shocked,
"And I've been keeping an eye on
you both ever since 10 o'clock this
morning,” added Mr. Varcoe,
A state of high tension existed at
the tabic.
"You want me to go with you?” said
Philip, motioning Tony to be silent.
"You suspect me? Appearances are
against me. Is that It 7"
"Appearances might have been
against you, my dear air," said Mr.
Vnrnnf> “If vmi liiirl dlahlnvi

demanded, while the latter was away.
"Dashed If I know. Met him at Klt-
tx'.i thla afternoon. Didn't you see
him? Seemed a very decent, agreeable,
J.illy sort of chap. Awful keen on
Mvlmmlng. Swims all through the
venr, he says, as I do. Challenged me
i.i a race In the Serpentine on Christ
mas morning, but I wasn't having any.
1 hould think he must be one of the
< racks. Doesn't talk about anything
else, you know."
"I suppose that’s.why you Invited
Mm to my dinner party," Philip ob
served.
"Awfully sorry, old man; I was think-
lng for the moment It was my party."
However, when Mr. Varcoe returned
and had been introduced to Philip, ho
mentioned no word of swimming. He
held In his hand a copy of the special
edition of Thb Westminster Gazette,
and for a few seconds Its contents
seemed to preoccupy him to such an
extent as to make him nervous.
"Anything lit the paper?" Philip In
quired nonchalantly.
Mr. Varcoe stared hard at Philip, fix
ing him with those spectacles.
"Yes," said he; the murder of that
old sea captain."
“What old sea captain? Philip
asked.
Mr. Varcoe glanced around the glit
tering room, which was now chiefly
occupied by waiters. The little trio of
two young, fair Anglo-Saxons, one
d dlai-al, and the dark man who might
have been any age and of any na
tionality, waa Isolated In a sea of emp
ty white tables.
“Captain Pollsxfen." said Mr. Var
coe In a low calm voice.
He appeared to wait for the effect of
his words. They had no effect.
"And who waa Captain Pollexfen?"
Sir An'l my Idly demanded, opening
his cigar ease.
"He was Just a sea captain. That Is
almost all that’s known."
"Where was he murdered? How was
(-» murdered?"
"Back of his head smashed In.'
^"JJut where 7“
Varcoe, “If you had displayed the least
agitation when I first mentioned n sea
captain and the name of Pollexfen. But
you did not. Thus my previous notion
that you are not Immediately connected
with the murder Is, to a certain extent,
confirmed. Appearances, then, arc not
against you. On the other hand, they
are not for you. And though I do not
wish you 'to go with me,' I shall oatcein
It a favor If you will keep me Informed
of your addreaa. At any rate, your
evidence will be valuable. I would like
your veralon.”
"At once?" *
“Why not?” said Mr. Varcoe, sip
ping his coffee. “If Sir Anthony does
not object."
“Better come up to my rooms,” Sir
Anthony suggested. He was perplexed
and unnervrd by these revelations, for
Philip had not mentioned to him the
trench episode.
And up there. In the "den," after
Philip had related everything he knexv
to the detective, a rather strange piece
of conversation ensued.
"What about -Pollexfon's relatives?"
Tony naked. "Hadn't he any?''
Mr. Varcoe seemed to pierce Into
Tony'e soul with a swift glance.
"Do you know," said he, "I was ex
pecting that question from you."
"Why from me?"
"Because you are Sir Anthony Dld-
rlng, that's all. Yes, Captain Pollex
fen hud relatives—a brother and i
daughter. And the highly curious
thing Is that they have both disap
peared."
“Since the murder?"
“No. Several days ago."
CHAPTER V.
Glralda.
In a large chamber of Irregular
shape, With glass >peep-holes In
strong positions, a chamber that look
ed as If It had been originally designed
by a child out of a box of bricks and
subsequently enlarged by a pavement
artist under the Influence of wine,
chamber all whitewash and cement
and concrete, and full of a strange
odor, a shabby, self-conscious crowd of
some twenty men and threo women
were wandering Iumplshly about, from
peep-hole to peep-hole, spying, crying,
grinning, whispering, wedging. And a
universal Instinct made them tread os
softly as they could on the hard floor.
Through one peep-hole was to be seen
the corpse of a young child that had
been overlaid by Its parents, through if
second the corpse of nnothcr young
child that had been overlnld by Its
parents; through a third the corpse of
a middle-aged nun who had hung her
self by means of a window cord In a
Mariet convent not far from Lincoln’s
Inn; and through a fourth the corpse
of an old sea captain of whom little
xvns known except that his name
Pollexfen nnd some one hnd hurled
him In a sewer, with the back of hfa
head smashed In. This wax the mortu
ary of a central London district. The
audience whom the law had Invited to
the spectacle consisted of sundry wit
nesses whose consciences were more or
less easy and a Jur" of small trades
men and employees wrenched from
their work, whose feelings were di
vided between annoyance, self-import
ance and curiosity.
The four corpses, waste product of
one day's history In a single quarter
of London, defied the scene nnd the
rnwd to rob them of their ley nnd
majestic dignity. They reposed there
In those compartments, with the Inde
structible proud calm, at one* Impres
sive and pathetic, that death alone can
give.
Presently an aged nun and a well
dressed man entered with a policeman;
and the crowd gaped. The nun waa
the mother superior of the Marlst con
vent and the man was Philip Masters.
The reverend mother gnve one glance
through the peep-hole at the dead nun,
pressed her thin lips tightly together,
clasped her cross and went out on the
Instant. The policeman directed Philip
to the peep-hole of Pollexfen, and
Philip beheld a typical aallor'x face, an
old wrinkled reddish face, with a red
dish gray beard that curved outward
from under the chin, and a long smooth
upper lips; the hald was awry. The
hands were gnarled and pale. It seem
ed Impossible that Captain Pollexfen
waa dead; he hail the look of having
dropped off to sleep for a few moments
In his bunk. It seemed Impossible
that those simple eyes hnd but recently
glimpsed murder In the ^eyes of an
other, and that that existence had sur
vived the seas of half a centary In
order to end In a sewer and furnish
copy for evening papers. It seemed
horrible; It seemed uncanny, It seemed
unreal. Philip shivered In hla spirit
as he thought of himself asleep In the
watcher's cabin while within a few
yards of him, quick and ruthless hands
had packed the unresisting limbs of
| the oil atiior close to a common drain
wipe In a common open street.
Tbe policeman touched hla shoulder.
The mortuary had emptied; the pri
vate view was over; and the Inquiry
was to ’ begin. It waa already half
past two In the afternoon. In the
wake of the policeman Philip crossed
the street to the coroner’s court, a
nondescript room that might have been
a creche, a soup kitchen, a work shop,
a school—anything but temple of Jus
tice. He had to show his subpena
at the door, and he waa told curtly
to sit on a certain bench. Near him
he noticed a negro. The room
pretty full. A constable was taking
the names of the Jury who, officious
and timid, sat in two rows on the
side of the court opposite to the wit
nesses; at the hack were a handful of
persona who, being out of a Job, were
representing the great and enlighten
ed, British public. Two policemen,
who struck the eye unfamlllarly be
cause they were without their helmets,
dominated the scene.
Theh there was a movement; every
body rose; and the coroner, the cele
brated Mr. Acrefalr, known by name
to all newspaper readers, entered. He
waa a thin, active man of 45 or so,
dresssd like a stock broker, and he
carried a brown bag. In a fraction of
time he had doffed his overcoat, ran
sacked hla bag, and assumed his seat
at the kneehole desk, which served as
the Judicial stall. And almost before
Philip could realise the fact the In
quest on one of the overlaid children
had begun.
Mr. Acrefalr did nothing but hold In
quests. He passed his days In an at
mosphere of sudden, violent and mys
terious death. He waa Impasslonable,
disillusioned, undecelvable, and his
methods were very rapid because he
Invariably had rather more work than
he could do. In an hour and n quarter
he had dealt with the two Infants and
the nun; censured the parents of one
child, had a passage of arms with the
mother superior; gently ridiculed a
priest, examined altogether seventeen
witnesses, summed up three times to
the Jury, and given effect to three
verdicts. His celebrity, his Ingenious
economy of time, his skill In getting
evidence, his placid and yet remorse
less determination to have the unex-
aggerated and unmlnlmlzed truth, his
lust estimate of human nature; his
habit of absolute authority—those
qualities astounded and delighted Phil
ip, who thought how Interesting It
would be to catch that man one night
In a quiet corner of his club nnd,
through a haze of cigar smoke, listen
to such philosophy as life had taught
him.
And then Mr. Acrefalr. after bavin;
signed some papers hurriedly, lookec
up at the Jury, and said In a new tone
of voice:
"The next enso Is somewhat remark,
able, gentlemen, nnd will demand your
special attention.”
Ho apparently knew all about It.
The first witness was the constable
who had been called to assist at the
unenrthlng of the body. He gave his
evidence ns he might have poured tea
out of a pot, smoothly, without paus
ing and without being questioned. Ho
hail merely watched the latter pnrt of
the process of exhumation. The corpse
was lying parallel to the drain pipe,
close to It, and with the face toward
It. He had nfterwards superintended
the removal to the mortuary. He had
been summoned nt 7:15 on Tuesday
morning. Having stated these facts
he shut his little note book.
"You searched the body?" asked tho
coroner.
"Yes, sir."
"What did you find?”
"Nothing whatever, sir.”
The coroner wrote, and gaxed ab-
•ently at n chromograph of the Prince
of Wales which ornamented the wall
In front of hlin.
Then came a doctor, a portly nnd
pompous man, In a blue melton over
coat. He had a long gray beard and a
big white nose; his beard was In some
sort an Ideal that he lind to.llvo up to.
"You have made a post-mortem ex
amlnntlon of the body of the man Ue
acrlbed by the Inst witness?”
"Yesterday afternoon.”
"What was the cause of death?"
"Concussion nnd compression of the
brnln, caused by n violent blow nt the
base of the skull."
"Compression of the brain?" asked
the foreman of tho Jury seemingly re
solved nt all costa to protect the Jury
from mystification. He had a long
gray beard, and n kind of rivalry was
established. "Will tho gentleman kind
ly tell us whnt compression of the
brnln Is?"
"In the pathological sense?"
"In sense."
"Compression of the brain occurs
whenever Its structure Is so squeezed
that Its functions are In any degree
Interfered with."
"Thank you," said the foreman.
"There were punctlform hemor
rhages," continued the doctor, taking
Ills revenge, "In the pores varollt and
In tho tloor of the fourth ventrlc. The
whole surface of the brain was In
tensely congested. There was no ex
ternal lesion; merely a very slight
abrasion of the eperdermls over n cir
cular area of about five square Inches."
"Not five Inches square?" asked the
coroner.
"No, sir, five square Inches."
"Was death Instantaneous?'
"It Is Impossible lo say."
"Was the man dead before he was
burled ?"
"Yer."
‘‘At what time do you estimate
died?'
"I began the necropsy at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. I Judge that he
ind then been dead about sixteen
hours. Thnt would make It that he
died on Tuesday at midnight."
"The blow might have been delivered
much earlier than that?”
"Not much earlier. Perhaps an hour
at moat."
"With what kind of an Instrument
do you suppose the blow was deliv
ered?”
"Something soft and heavy. Proba-
