CHAPTER VIII.
Josephine's Theory.
»Nihv what can you offer us for
lunch. Dumllatre?" asked the baronet.
•TVeil," Josephine Fire broke In.
"Oysters we'll begin with. Colches
ter..''
Certainly, madame,” Dumllatre re-
sponded.
'•And then a bit of lobster mayon
naise," Josle proceeded.
Dumllatre forced himself to smile.
"And then pheasant," said Josephine.
•Tes. madame, certainly.”
“And then some nice ripe Gorgon-
*°"And the wlne7" Tony asked.
"Oh, I leave that to you,” said Jose
phine. "But fizz, of course."
She looked round for applause at the
two men and the high priest, and the
two acolytes, and they all applauded.
Josephine was one of your success
ful artists who have never doubted that
their success la the most beneficent re
sult of a reign of absolute Justice in
the world. She had a self-confidence
which nothing could shake, and the
situation to which she did not find
herself equal had not yet arisen.
As Philip scanned surreptitiously her
black eyes and heavy lips, her ample
coiffure, her rich and strictly confined
form, her long pointed finger nails, and
her general lavishness, he thought-
lie could not help thinking—of the vio
lent contrast between her and the wo
man of the portrait, and he stood
amazed before Tony's all-enchanting
catholicity In love.
The second luncheon proceeded to
the perfect satisfaction of Josephine,
who took entire charge of It, and led
both'the eating and the talking. And
Philip saw himself freed from the ne
cessity of Importing Glralda Into tho
conversation, for Josephine remarked
almost at once.
Tve got her dressing room.”
Whose dressing room T” Tony de
manded.' ,
“Glralda’s, naturally! It’s the best
In the theater, and I ought to have had
It before, really. I made Talkee-Talkee
give It to me last night. That’s why
Pm iu such a good humor this morn
ing. It's a good thing tor you he did
give It to me. Otherwise I should
have been In an awful temper, and
you know how I am when I'm cross.
I'm charming when I’m cross, ain’t I?"
"What's your theory about Glralda,
Miss Fire?'' Philip put in.
"Oh! So you’ve opened your mouth
at last, Mr. Maaten?" the bright angel
observed with gayety.
“I am always afraid of chattering
too much." Philip replied, meekly.
"Masters has been In the Inquest,”
said Tony, "So the thing's on hi*
mind. Besides, he's rather Interested
In Glralda.”
"Oh!” answered Josephine, careless
ly She had only one genuine Interest
In life—herself; but even she could
not refuse to discuss the tremendous
lotdc of the day. "Well, I’ve got a
theory—at least It Isn’t a theory. It's
* cert, I know. I guessed It the very
moment Talkee-Talkee told me that
Glralda had sent word that she couldn't
play." -r
"And It Is?"
'The Marquis, of course.”
uhteh Marquis? There are so many,
and they are all alike."

Josephine. "The Marquis of Standego.

Tony asked, with gloomy astonishment
Ho knew all about the marquis, and
was filled with fear.
"Have you seen him lately?" Josle
demanded curtly.
“No," said Tony.
* een him since Glralda
vanished?’
“I don’t think so/’
.^" W , < !"r there T°u afe!" she clinched
the dialogue triumphantly. "Didn’t I
tell you I knew? Yes, nil It up, and
your own, too, and try not to look like
an undertaker at his mother's funeral,
Mr. Masters."
Her generous laughter rang through
the room.
A footman Intruded upon the feast.
"A person wishes to speak to you on
the telephone. Sir Anthony," said the
footman in a tone of discreet, but sin
cere apology.
"What sort of a person?” The auery
came from Josephine.
"The person is at the Metropolitan
theater, and wants to know If Miss
Fire Is here with you, Sir Anthony.' 1
“She is," said Miss Fire.
"He wishes to speak to Miss Fire.”
"Who is It?" demanded Josle, per
emptorily.
The footman had to consult the tele
phone. He returned and said: *.
"Mr. Varcoe, of Scotland Yard."
Josephine was genuinely taken aback
but she quickly recovered.
“If Mr. Varcoe or Parcoe wants to
spook to me In such a hurry as all
that, let him come around here; eh,
Tony? I'm having my lunch.”
"Yes, miss," said the footman.
"Do you know Mr. Varcoe or Par
coe?" she inquired of her men.
"Yes," they answered simultaneous
ly, and Tony added; “He's In charge
of the Pollexfen case.”
An uneasy hush fell upon the par
ty.
The distance from the Metropolitan
Theater and Pleasure House, that vast
and curious pile, to the Physique Club
Is exactly 2,400 yards, and Mr. Var
coe covered It apparently In a winged
hansom, for ho entered the club res
taurant within about eight minutes of
the telephone call. Sir Anthony In
troduced him to the dlvette, and his
manner to her was all that she could
desire. Except for a slight eccen
tricity In cuff links and for a certain
facial romanticism, he was admirably
disguised as a finished, faultless club
man. He refused to eat, having eaten;
and he refused to take coffee^ having
taken coffee; but he accepted a kum-
mel and one of Josle's cigarettes out
of Josle’s gold cigarette case. And he
babbled amiably of nothing as though
he had nothing to do, and there were
thirty-four hours In every day, until
Josephine brought him to business.
"And are you a real detective?" she
said. "I’ve never met one before.”
‘I'm happy to be the first,” he bow
ed.
"What do you mean to detect In
me?” she asked, glancing at him
through half-closed eyes, with a sus
piciousness that was only half-feign
ed.
"All the graces," he said. "One
thing I particularly desired was your
permission to examine your dressing-
room. which I understand used to be
Mlsa Glralda's. Mr. Talkee, who has
lunched with me, told me I could go
In—”
"Oh, did her
"But naturally I refused without
your authority. Did Miss Glralda leave
many of her things there?"
"Lota! The place was like a pawn
shop, my dear man. I had most of
them stuck up on a shelf over the
door."
"It you would show me the things,
you might be of very great assistance
to me," said Mr. Varcoe. “Very great
assistance. Perhaps you and I could
have a chat, If It won’t bore you.” He
succeeded In conveying to Josephine
that the unravelling of the mystery
which occupied him, If ever It were un
raveled, would be mainly due to the
aid of her shrewdness and special
knowledge.
"Why, of course!" she answered.
"Come round tonight after the first
act. Here, have another cigarette,
do!
Philip was again staring, scarcely
conscious that he did so, at the por
trait of Glralda In the overmantel. Her
calm and faintly Ironic smile seem
ed to mock the luncheon party. He
could now trace some resemblance be
tween the portrait and the dead face
of Pollexfen. There was the same
nose and the same position of the
cheek bones. And he thought of the
old Captain lying In the mortuary, se
rene, Indifferent, placid with the eter
nal placidity. He felt that he stood on
er's death such a dramatic trick as
fate does not often play. As for the
uncle—
J'Have you found out anything about
the brother of the Captain?" Josepbtno
was asking.
Varcoe shook his head. "I was hop
ing yon coaid tell me something."
"Glralda never talked about her peo
ple," said Josephine. "She was always
awfully close. We all took her for an
orphan. Then you've got no clew
whatever?"
“To what?"
"To Glralda’s disappearance."
“Not yet.”
"I will give you one If you're good.”
She smiled grandly. And the name
of the marquis of Standego was on her
vermilion Ups when Philip Interrupt
ed, addressing his detective:
“I suppose you'll begin by finding out
where Glralda Is?"
"That Is certainly an Important part
of the case," said the detective.
"I hope you will," said Philip, with
much earnestness, perceiving In Tony’s
"And you are not the first," murmur
ed the detective.
"What do you mean?"
"I received last night a visit from a
well-known gentleman who positively
begged me to leave everything In order
to discover Miss Glralda."
“Who was that?" .
“Ah!" the detective answered,
don't think I can—'
“Mr. Varcoe," Josephine Imperiously
commanded. "Tell us at once.”
The detective yielded.'
"It was the marqul* of Standego,
said he In a low voice. "His lordship
was beside himself with grief and anx
iety.”
There was a pause. Tony caught hie
breath.
"What becomes of your theory?"
Philip demanded phlegmatically of
Josephine. And there was a lack of
consideration for her in his tone that
made her furious.
“Oh, well!” she muttered, and stop
ped.
"Till tonight then," said the detec
tive, rising, and the party broke up.
Sir Anthony, acutely disturbed, aban
doned even tho Idea of his dally swim.
As Philip left the room In the wake of
the rest he threw a final lingering
glance at the portrait. The portrait
smiled there, but Glralda might be
dead In some other part of London,
and In yet another part of London the
uncle might also be dead! Philip was
conscious of a strange and powerful
emotion.
The club was now crowded with
members, and word had passed that
Josephine Fire had been lunching with
Sir Anthony and an unknown man with
a square Jaw, and the renowned de
tective, Varcoe. The Pollexfen-Glralda
mystery monopolized every Intelligence
to the exclusion-of even a decent re
gard for the nation's physical welfare.
A crowd of mole acquaintances took
Josephine by storm In the foyer and
the name of Glralda flew about like
a shuttlecock. Seven men assisted
Tony to put Glralda's rival Into her
carriage.
Later, In the streets, the extraor
dinary prevalence of contents bills all
crying out "Glralda" gave Philip the
notion that the whole of London was
obsessed by the dire mystery. As In
deed It was.

Ing at the Corner house, where, as Mr.
Hllgay explained, there was a corner
for every one.
For, as Philip walked up Klngsway
In the afternoon of the double lunch
eon, he saw un immense crowd which
filled Strange street and bulged far
Into Klngsway, causing the traffic to
describe a curve around Its ogiter edge.
The faces of the crowd all pointed In
one direction, like vanes In a steady
wind. And the occupants of the tops
of motor omnibuses and the drivers of
cabs and vans, and the riders of news
paper bicycles, and the pushers of hand
carta twisted their necks as they passed
in order to gaze to the last possible
Instant where the multitude gazed. It
could only have been a curious coinci
dence that the cloudil In the autumn
sky were traveling In the same direc
tion. The multitude gained nnd lost
adherents every moment, as though It
had been a popular cause, but not a
Just one. Each pedestrian stopped,
stared, raised himself on tip-toe, stared
again vigorously, doggedly, manfully
and then departed, full of profound re
gret at the necessity to depart. But a
few held on, heedless of everything
save what they stared at; they had
apparently been staring for hours and
they would be capable of staring for
hours more. On the rim of the con
course, between the latest adherents
and the traffic of London that rolled
sparsely by, was a ragged man selling
toothpicks.
"What's up here?” Philip asked him.
"Penny! Real tortoiseshell! Penny!
Real tortoiseshell!” cried the man rau
cously, Intent on his own mercantile
career.
'What's up here?” Philip then de
manded of a starer In a silk hat.
The personage turned his head, In
dicated In the English manner with a
single glance that they had never been
Introduced, and haughtily resumed his
■tare; then coughed and went away.
"What are they staring at?" Philip
asked a boy.
"That's the Corner ’ouse," answered
the boy.
■But what are they staring at?"
‘They're a-looklng at It," the boy
explained.
It dawned upon Philip's benighted
Intelligence that the crowd was staring
at the Corner house, not In the ex
pectation that It would fall down, or
blow up. or give a display of fireworks,
but merely .because It was the Corner
house and connected with a murder.
He elbowed himself Into the mass,
with difficulty, to the accompaniment
of anathemas, edging along by the
fenced trench where British workmen
were still nonchalantly meandering
through eternity. No policeman was In
sight except one on the steps of the
Corner house Itself. Having reached
a point opposite the front door, Philip
struck bravely across Strange street.
He had not achieved ten feet when
some one spoke to him:
"If yon’re going Into the house. I’ll
stick behind you."
It was a young man, slim and fair,
dressed like a clerk, with a rather
handsome face, quite spoiled by a ter
rible scar on the'left cheek. What
Impressed PhlllpVas the appealing and
beautiful quality of the voice. He no
ticed that the man was extremely pale
and breathing hard, the struggle to
penetrate the pressing crowd was too
much for his strength. Philip guessed
that he might recently have come out
of a hospital.
"Right you are,” said Philip with
cheerfulness.
In three minutes they had arrived at
the policeman, who, after an expla
nation, let them In. The young man
ran upstairs without another word to
Philip, and, Ignoring Mr. Hllgay, who
stood In the door.
Who Is that?" Philip Inquired of the
landlord. . .. _
"His name Is John Meredith, Mr.
Hllgay replied. "One of our board
ers."
"Doesn’t look very sharp, observed
Philip.
"No, poor fellow!"
Philip also went upstnlrs slowly, and
arrived at the summit of the first
flight. He traversed still more slowly
the passages, first to the left, and then
to the right, to his room. There were
Indications In the passages that house-
painters were sooner or later to begin
their beneficent If deliberate ministra
tions; In fact, the essentials were pres
ent except tho moment, as It were, In
obedience to an Instructive Impulse,
before Mrs. Upottery's door. It was
unlatched, as he could hear a move
ment and a slight, genteel cough.
Then, ashamed of this unpollte pause
at a lady’s portal, he passed Into his
own room, shut himself In and looked
around. It was the first moment of
daylight leisure he had had In his
room.
He opened the window, being a
healthy Rrlton, and glanced out Into
Little Glldle’s alley. He noticed now
that the window was newly fastened In
the wall. lie perceived that the sub
division of the old large rooms of the
house Into cubicles had been attended
by problems ot lighting, and that In
this Instance the problem had been
solved by making a new window, com
paratively small, and nearly square, on
the casement principle, but with four
large panes. He leaned forward his
body, and scanned Mrs. Upottery's
window, and he discerned that the par
tition between Mrs. Upottery's cubicle
nnd the next further on occurred ex
actly In the center of one of the old
window spaces, cutting It In two; here,
the architect had left the outer frame
of the window while altering the ar
rangement of the panes. The architect
had certainly been very Ingenious, and
Philip, examining the partition between
his own room and Mrs. Upottery's,
saiv that It was of exceptional solidi
ty, and probably Justified Mr. Hllgay's
proud epithet of sound-proof. He
resumed his study of his window.
Yea, a body might easily have been
insinuated through It; the drop to the
alley was thirteen or fourteen feet.
There was no sign of wear and tear
on the sill—no tell-tale smear of blood,
no significant tuft of hair lodged In
an Interstice, no alluring scrap of blue
cloth to match the drad captain's reefer
Jacket. In short, nothing on which to
fasten suspicion. The Innocence of
that window and window sill was most
discouraging to an amateur detective.:
nnd Philip could only say to himself!
with an air of deductive logic, "The'
captain was carried down* the back
stairs.’’ Yet, on his way to Strange
street, he had quite decided that the
captain had been put through the win
dow.
’ Nearly facing his own, on the oppo
site side of the alley, was another
window, a dirty and sinister window,
and the distance between the two was
not more than eight feet. Instantly
his mind began to run on collusions
and corporations In crime, engineered
by conspirators In different houses.
Perhaps the clew to the mystery lay
In the house on the opposite side of
Little Girders alley. He fixed his hon
est eyes on the sinister window, and.
Indeed, he could dimly perceive re
markable movements .proceeding be
hind Its vile glass—regular movements
of a sweeping nature, and ha stared
with aa much Intensity os people were
staring outside at the Corner House
Itself. The window seemed to conceal
Important and terrifying mysteries.
Then he made out a long white object
that shifted to and fro, and was soon
afterward* pained and shocked to dis
cover In It nothing but n woman's arm.
The woman was evidently brushing her
hair.
The mysteries appeared to be evapo
rating. Nevertheless he continued to
gaze. And the movement stopped
brusquely. A vague human form ap
proached the window and opened It,
and It proved to be that of a youngish
woman with a hard and handsome face.
She held a comb In one hand, and she
leaned her elbows on her sill. She
was not precisely dressed for church.
She set nbout indicating to Philip b;
means of a stare compared to whlcl
his stare had been the timid wavorlng
glanco of a child, that she resented his
curiosity. She succeeded perfectly In
conveying to him this Idea. He red
dened, retired and shut his window.
He withdrew from his window nnd
sat down on the bed, but such was
the crystal purity of Mr. Hllgay's glass
that the womnn still held him with her
relentless eyes. She had defeated him;
she meant to rout him. He rose and
pulled clown the blind. Thus abruptly
ended the first series of his Investi
gations Into the circumstances sur
rounding the captain's death.
Dusk was already falling. His eye
caught a card of “Regulations of the
Corner House" hung behind the door,
and In order to read It he turned the
electric switch, but light did not flash
responsively forth, because the hour
for electricity was not yet. He atruck
a match, lit a cigarette, and utilized
the lost flickers of the match to read
the regulations. There was one relat
ing to dinner. "Boarders are respect
fully Impressed that meals are served
promptly In the dining room. Brenk-
fast 8:30 a. m., 4d, Table d'hote. Lunch
1 p. m., 8d. Table d'hote. Dinner 6:30
p. m., lOd. Clients wishing to join
the table d'hotes should give notice at
leant one hour In advance. Otherwlee
an extra fee of twopence will be
charged. Boarders are respectfully In
formed that payment must be made at
the time of giving such notice." The
words "respectfully Informed” oc
curred seventeen times on the card,
proving that Mr. Hllgay's attitude to
ward his customers was Irreproachably
correct.
