"But fix*, of course.” She looked round for applause at the two men and the high priest, and the iwoecolytes, oner they ail applauded. Josephine was one of your success ful artists who have never doubted that liulr success Is the most beneficent re mit of a reign of absolute Justice In the world. She had a self-confidence which nothing could shake, and the iltustlon to which she did not find enslf equal had not yet arisen. As Philip scanned surreptitiously her black eyes and heavy lips, her ample collture, her rich and strictly confined form, her long pointed finger nails, and bsr 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 umsied before Tony’s all-enchanting catholicity in love. The second luncheon proceeded the perfect satisfaction of Josephine, who took entire charge of it, and led both the eating and the talking. And PhlUp saw himself treed from the ne cessity of Importing Glralda Into the conversation, for Josephine remarked almost at once. Tvs got her dressing room.” "Whose dressing room?” Tony ds- nanded. "Gtralda's, naturally 1 It's the best la the theater, and I ought to have hod It before, really. I made Talkee-Tnlkea tvs It to me last night. That's why m la such a good humor this morn ing.

'Ohl So you've opened your mouth last, Mr. Masters ?” the bright angel observed with gayety. “I am always afraid of chattering too much,” Philip replied, meekly. “Mastera has been in the Inquest' uli Tony. "So the thing's on his mind. Besides, he's rather Interested is Glraldk." "Oh!" answered Josephine, careless- J. She had only one genuine Interest In life—herself; but even she could not refuse to discuss ths tremendous topic 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 Talkoe-Talkeo told me that wrslda had sent word that she couldn't pley." "And It f«?" TTho Marquis, of course." which Marquis?

Yes, fill It up. and your own, too. and try not to look like an undertaker at hls 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," eald the rootman In a tone of discreet, but sin cere apology. "What sort of a person?" The query came from Josephine. "The person is at the Metropolitan theater, and wants to know If Miss Wjh *» here with you. Sir Anthony.” "She Is," said Miss Fire. .He wishes to apeak to Mias Fire. Who Is It?” demanded Josle, per emptorily. ' The footman had to consult the tele phone. He returned and said; Mr. Varcoq. of Scotland Yard.” Josephine was genuinely taken aback but she quickly-recovered. "If Mr. Varcoe or Parcoe wants to speak 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- con? she Inquired of her men. 'Yes,'' they answered slrauitaneous- ,3 I'JL nd „ T ?.

Sir Anthony in troduced him to the dlvette, and hls 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 Josie’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. ‘Tve 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-felgn- 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 Miss Gtralda's. • Air. 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?” "Lots! The place was like a pawn shop, my dear man. I had most of them stuck up on a shelf over the door.” "If 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 trait of Glralda In the overmantel 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 th* same nose and* the same position of the cheek honea. 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 the edge of the mystery aa on the edge of a precipice, and that he must plunge Into It. These others, did not compre hend the terrible poetry that surround ed the baffling tragedy like an aura. He did not comprehend It himself, but he felt Us power. He dimly glimpsed In the unknown murderer a ferocious and sublime personality—and. assum ing the correctness of Josephine's the ory, he saw In the synchronism of tho daughter's elopement and the »fath- ers death such a dramatic trick aa fate does not often play. Aa for the uncle— "Have you found out anything about the brother of the Captain?" Josephine was asking. Varcoe shook hls head. "1 was hop ing you could 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 Gtralda'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 lips when Philip Interrupt ed, addressing hls 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 eye a silent appeal to him to Insist on this aspect of the matter. '•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 lenve everything in order to discover Mins Glralda” "Who was that?" "Ah!" the detective answered, don't think I can—" "Mr. Varcoe,” Josephine Imperiously comthanded. "Tell, us at once." The detective yielded. "It was ths marquis of Standego,” said he In a low voice. "Hls lordship was beside himself with grief and anx iety.” , There was a pause. Tony caught hls breath. 'What becomes of your theory?" Philip demanded phlegmatically of Josephine. And there was a lack of consideration for her In hls 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 the Idea of hls dally swim. As Philip left the room In the wake nf the rest lie threw a final lingering glance at the portrait. The portrait smiled there, but Glralda might be dead In some other part nf 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-GIralda mystery monopolized every intelligence to the exclusion of even a decent re gard for the nation's ‘physical welfare. A crowd of male acquaintances took Jotephlnc by storm In the (oyer and the name of Glralda flew about like a shuttlecdck. 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.

Hllgay explained, there was a corner for every one. For. aa Philip walked up Klngsway In the afternoon of the double lunch eon, he saw an Immense crowd which filled Strange street and bulged far Into Klngsway, causing the traffic to describe a curve around Its outer edge. The faces of the crowd all pointed In one direction, Ilka vanes In n steady wind. And the occupants of the tope of motor omnibuses and the drivers of cabs and vans, and the riders of news paper bicycles, and the pushers of hand carts twisted their necks as they passed In order to gaze to tho lost possible Instant where tho multitude gsxed. It could only have been a curious coinci dence that the clouds In tho autumn sky were traveling In the same direc tion. Tho multitude gained and lost adherents every moment, as though It had been a popular cause, but not n Just one. Each pedestrian stopped, aland, ratted hlmaelt 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! Reel tortoiseshell! Pennyl Real tortoiseshell!" cried the man rau cously, Intent on hls own mercantile career. "What’s up here?” Philip then de manded of a starer In a silk hat. The personage turned hls head, dlcated In the English manner with a single glance that they had never been Introduced, and haughtily resumed hls stare; 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- tlon that It would fall down, or 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 th' fenced trench where British workmen were still nonchalantly meandering through eternity. No policeman waa in eight except one on the steps of the Corner house Itself. Having reached a point opposite the front door, Philip struck bravely across Btrpnge street. He had not achieved ten feet when some one spoke to him; "If you're going Into the house, 111 ■tick 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 Philip was 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 woe too much for hls strength. Philip guessed that he might recently have come out of n 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 Velour , $ l f0 Boston Leather. 45 Genuine Leather.... 55 Illustration shows the “Gold Medal” Bed Davenport in use as a Davenport and a bed.

GIRL PA YS LA WYER’S FEE WITH LARGE, JUICY KISSES By Private Leased Wire. Catsklll, N. Y„ Sept. 6.—Kisses from warm red Ups comprised the fee promptly paid In court to A. J. Pow ers, a law student of the New York University, when ho won a case In the vtllnge of Tannersvllle. Powers is spending hls vacation with a class mate, a son of Clminsellor M. Lnckey. Counsellor Lackey appeared aa at torney for the proprietress of a hotel who has charged Miss Stockholm, a pretty maid, with assauIL Miss Stock holm had no lawyer and Mr. Lackey suggested as a Joke that Mr. Powers defend her. Powers accepted, and aft er Mr. Lackey had mado what he thought was a strong case, presented tho girl's case In such a favorable light that she promptly was acquitted. Miss Stockholm Impetuously rushed forward and smothered her young counsel with kisses. The Justice of the C ace smiled hls approval and Mr. ckey remarked that he wished he had been on the other case. Powers blushed. Philip, and, Ignoring Mr. Hllgay, who stood In the door. , _ . "Who It that?" Philip Inquired of the landlord. .., "Hls name Is John Meredith, Mr. Hllgay replied. "One. of our board- "boesn't look very sharp,” observed Philip. "No, poor fellowl” 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, nnd then to tho right, to hls room. There wore Indications In the passages that house- pnlntera were sooner or later to begin their beneficent If deliberate ministra tions; In fact, the essentials were pres ent except the moment, os It were. In obedience to on Instructive Impulse, before Mrs. Upottery's door. It was unlatched, ns 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 hls own room, shut himself In nnd looked around. It was the first moment of daylight leisure he had had In hls room. He opened the window, being a healthy Briton, and glanced out Into Little GUdle's alley. He noticed now that the window was newly fastened In the wall. He perceived that the sub division of the old large rooms of the house Into cubicles had been attended by problems of 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 pahes. He leaned forward hls body, and scanned Mrs. Upottery'i window, and he discerned that the par tition between Mrs. Upottery’s cubicle and the- hext 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 panee. The architect had certainly been very Ingenious, and Philip, examining the partition between hls own room and Mrs. Upottery's. saw that It was of exceptional solidi ty, and probably Justified Mr. Hllgay’s proud epithet of sound-proof. He resumed hls study of hls window. Yes, 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 XIII—no tell-tale smear of blood, no significant tuft of hair lodged In an Interstice, no alluring scrap of blue cloth to match the dead captain’s reefer Jacket. In short, nothing on which to fasten suspicion. The Innocence nf that window and window sill was most discouraging to an amafeur detective, and Philip could only say to himself with an air of deductive logic, "The captain was carried down the back stairs." Yet, on hls way to Strange street, he had quite decided that the captain had been put through the win dow. t Nearly facing hls 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, ir,., hls 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 aide of Little Girders alley. He fixed hls hon est eyes on the sinister window, and. Indeed, he could dimly perceive re markable movements proceeding be hind Us vile glase—regular movements of a sweeping nature, and he stared with as much Intensity os people were staring outside at the Corner House itself. The window seemed to conceal Important nnd terrifying mysteries. Then he made out a long white object thnt shifted to and fro, and was soon afterwards pained and shocked to dlS' cover In It nothing but a woman's arm The woman was evidently brushing her hair. The mysteries appeared to be evapo rating. Neverthelcsa he continued to gase. And the movement stopped brusquely. A vague human form ap proached tho 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 dresssd for church. She set nbout Indicating to Philip b[ means of a stare compased to whlcl hls stare had been the timid wavering glance of a child, that she resented hls curiosity. She succeeded perfectly In conveying to him this Idea. He red dened, retired and shut hls window. He withdrew from hls window and sat down on the bed,, but such was the crystal purity of Mr. Hllgay's glass that the woman still held him with her relentless eyes. She had defeated him; she meant to rout him. He rose and pulled down the blind. Thus abruptly ended the first series of hls Investi gations Into the circumstances sur rounding the captain's death. Dusk was already falling. Hls eye caught a card of "Regulations of the Corner House” hung behind the door, nnd 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 struck a match, lit a cigarette, and utilised the Inst flickers of the match to read the regulations. There was one relat ing to dinner. "Boarders are respect fully Impressed that meats are served promptly In the dining room. Break fast 6:10 a. m„ 4d. Table d’hote. Lunch 1 p. m„ 8d. Table d’hote. Dinner 6:10 p. m„ lod. Clients wishing to Join the table d'hotes should give notice at least one hour In advance. Otherwise 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 hls customers was Irreproachably correct. (Continued In Tomorrow's Georgian.)
