A THRILLING NOVEL OF MYSTERY,
TRAGEDY AND A STOLEN FORTUNE
Bv EDEN PHILLPOTTS AND ARNOLD BENNETT
(Copyright. 1906. by Bdeu PhlllpoUs Bod Arnold Bennett.)
CHAPTER XI.
In the Fourth Estate.
The next day was Saturday, a day
usually rather flat and uninteresting,
as regards Us morning. In Central Lon-
* don, and rather vivacious, as regards
Its afternoon, even In the primmest
suburbs. But that particular Satur
day morning was not anywhere des
tined to dullness. Clerks who strolled
across bridges and out of termini with
the sole Intention of drawing a week’s
salary and going home again, were, met
by the'posters of a special second edi
tion of The Dally Courier which con
tained an artistically breathless de
scription of the night at the Corner
house. No other morning paper had
• got" the most startling episode In the
annals The Courier's poster announced
thus: "Corner House Mystery; Scot
land Yard Defied; Detective Varcae
Spirited Away; Is He Dead?" The
evening papers hsd not yet had time
to come out. so thst The Courier had
a monopoly for quite two hours. And In
spite of the fact that The Courier had
just recently changed hands, tone and
politics, and was therefore bound, mor
ally or Immorally, to stir London up at
the earliest possible Instant, expe
rienced Londoners felt that here was
something genuine in the way of a
sensation. The voices of the newsboys
as ■ they cried The Courier had that
“take-lt or leave-lt" accent which on
the lips of a newsboy always Indicates
that there Is no deception. The (Brai
ds slfalr bad been great before; It was
now unique. It was the one thing that
existed In London, and the accommo
dation question on the district railway;
even bridge was played less than usual
that day.
In the Corner house life had become
very difficult Indeed. Not later than 9
o'clock the siege of the vicinity had
already been resumed by the vast leis
ured class that exclusively occupied
the main thoroughfare of the town. The
crowds were kept at bay on the con
fines of Strange street by a force of
policemen, but policemen could not be
set to keep policemen out of the house:
not is the modern Journalist, especially
when he Is attached to n Sunday paper
and It happens to be Saturday morn
ing, the sort of person that ran be kept
out of any house by any authority,
natural or supernatural, should he de-
i-Ire to enter It. The modern Journal
ist, at a salary of 60 shillings a week
and cab fares, knows the power behind
him. And what with police In and nut
of uniform, and Journalists weekday
and Sunday, and the general leisured
public surging and staring at the ends
of the street, the Corner house had
the right to call Itself fully and strict
ly invested. Chief and yet most mys
terious among ths strangers within Its
gates was a being from Scotland Yard
greater than Varcoe; a personage, In
deed, than which Scotland Yard could
produce none higher; the king of his
SI ml. Policemen did not refer to him
by name; they said 'e or 'lm, In an
Impressed whisper, with Jerks of the
head In the direction of the particular
room where this formidable being waa
supposed to be. Few persona saw him:
hr was simply known to be "on the
Job." And that he was on the Job, that
he had designed to quit his lair In
order to come to the Job, rendered the
Job sublime In the eyes of thoss who
could differentiate between jobs. He
Interviewed Philip; Philip's leading Im-
rre.-lon of him waa that he was a very
*,">d listener. He also Interviewed Mr.
Hllgay. 8hortly after this Mr. Hllgay
took to his bed and sent for a doctor.
The situation had become too vast and
complicated for Mr. Hllgay, and he re
tired,. defeated If not disgraced, ex
pecting brain fever,
Philip, after what was called break
fast, but what that morning had been
little more than a picnic, remained with
several other 1 boarders In the basement
refectory, and employed hta time stead
ily In refusing to talk either to Jour
nalists nr to his fellow lodgers. He
vnnted to do sundry things that he
could not do; to find a situation—he
could not even llx his mind on this
Important matter; to have an exhaust
ive conversation with John Meredith—
John Meredith was not on view; or, In
default, to chat with Sir Anthony—he
would hare difficulty In getting out of
the street—It puxxletl him how the
Journalists went to and fro. No one,
unless It might have been the criminal
himself, was more Interested In the
Corner house crimes than Philip was
at that moment. He seemed to have
stepped right Into the middle of them;
they absorbed him like n dog. They
certainly prevented him from even be
ginning to carve his career.
A gray muatarhrd commissioner In
the sober uniform of his corps entered
the refectory.
"Mr. Masters?" he looked around In-
pleaaure of an Interview with you, sir."
The genteel lodgers pricked up their
ears.
"He la—er—Lord Naslng,” the com
mlssloner explained. "His Lordship
told ms to say that he thought he could
be useful to you.”
"Where la her’
"At hla office."
"Where's lhat?"
"In Stewart square. I have a cab
waiting, air."
“And can we get out?"
"Yes, sir. Up Little QlrdleTs alley,
and through the yard of the Cup and
Ball.”
Philip saw no reason why he should
decline the adventure. It offered him
at least an escape from Inaction.
"I will come with you," he said.
He felt sure that Lord Naalng was
famous for something or other, but he
could not recollect what; and he did
not care to ask the commissionaire.
H<s Ignorance of the latest creations
In peerage was deplorable.
Arrived at Stewart square, that
humming center of Journalism between
Fleet street and the Embankment, the
cab stopped In front of the glassy and
monumental Brent building, where
three dallies and twenty-nine weeklies
and three monthlies had their home.
Of the four great journalistic houses
In London, the Brent Company waa not
the least Important. It w,aa a one-man
company. Nicholas Brent, Its founder,
had been the only son of hla father,
and he had never taken a partner nor
wife. It showed annual profits of
over a quarter of a million, and Its
dividend Increased each year. Its
three lower stories were faced with
glass, so that the world might see the
operations that went forward within.
On the ground floor were the Victory
printing machines, which were even
then throwing off copies of the first edi
tion (nominally the second) of The
Evening Record, at the rate of a hun
dred and twenty thousands copies an
hour. On the flrst floor were the
compositors engaged at linotype
machines In setting up the flying and
Influential words of the descriptive re
porters and writers on the second
floor. These stories were occupied and
busy day and night—a symbol and
sign of the ceaseless activity of the
Brent brain, that sardonic brain which
had Invented the celebrated newspaper
maxim: "We spin you a yam Today.
We give you the news next week."
The commissionaire, with the cour
age of an old soldier, plunged himself
nnd Philip straight Into the seething
heart of the Brent dally battle, and did
not leave his charge until, after a Ufa
and a long corridor, he had deposited
him at a door marked "Mr. Brent,"
with the name crossed out and "Lord
Naslng" written over It. Philip re
membered then who Lord Naalng waa
Ths commissionaire bad knocked and
received u favorable answer, and Philip
entered.
The Interior was vast and noble, the
caprice of a millionaire who spent the
whole of his waking hours In the suc
cessful pursuit of pleasnre by means of
business, and who believed in comfort
with splendor. His office was an exact
reproduction of Napoleon’s council
chamber at Fontainebleau, with Its
celling by Boucher, Us Beauvais tapes-
trice, and even the famous round table
whose top Is a single piece of mahog
any.
At the round table, which was cov
ered with letters and slip proofs, sat a
pale, puffy man of forty-live with the
ear-pieces of a telephone strapped
round his dark head. Two young wo-
men were wilting In remote corners of
the room.
"No," the man was saying with care-
ful distinctness Into the telephone. “01-
ralda. O, as In gin, I, r as In roller, a. I,
d as In donkey, a. dot It? Qood!" He
looked up. "Mr. Masters? Will you
sit down a moment? I’m Just 'phoning
to Paris."
He finished what was apparently part
asset In London for a paltry twenty
pounds a week.”
■'And haven't IT’
"Yes," said Philip, "Provided you
give me a month's engagement cer
tain.”
"Impossible, Mr. Masters. I cannot
break (he rule of a lifetime."
"As you please," Philip rejoined. "But
suppose the mystery was cleared up to
morrow, I reckon I should be ‘shot out*
tomorrow. And It's not good enough/
Lord Naalng rose.
"I admire you," he said.
'The admiration la mutual," said
Philip. "Qood morning, my Lord.'
"Not at all," said Lord Naslng. "I
ylejd, young man, I yield. But you will
sign your articles."
"I will sign everything I write," Phil
Ip agreed. "You want me to begin
right off, I Imagine?"
“Certainly. I shall expect you here
tonight at 7 o'clock, with results. In'
eluding, naturally, your own story ln
full. If necessary, I mean to Issue a
special edition of the Courier tomor
row. Tell me, what do you think Is
the real explanation of this mess that
Scotland Yard has-got Itself Into?"
Lord Naslng sat down again.
"To my mind," said Philip, "the ex-
inatlon
arcos—”
■’You think h6'a dead?”
“I do. The late Varcoe fancied him
self too much. Ho fancied he was go
ing to do the trick all alone, and he
very nearly did, but not quite. Some
body else was just a shade cleverer
then he was. and that somebody is the
criminal. He told me so. I am pretty
sure that he had discovered everything.
But he confided In nobody. That was
hie mistake. Nobody at Scotland"
Yard was to Have a ha-porth of credit
but Varcoe. And ao. In getting rid of
Varcoe, the criminal was just as safe
as hs waa before Varcoe started his
Inquiries. I suppose there's jenlouty
at Scotland Yard as there Is every
where. But they’ll never admit It.”
'Excellent! Excellent I” murmured
Lord Naslng. “You go and write that
theory up. But, look here. If Varcoe
Is dead, where Is his corpse?"
T expect It’s In the Comer House."
“Do you think you can find It?"
“Who knows?" said Philip. "Hadn’t
I better be going?"
"Yes,” agreed Lord Naslng.
■'What about expenses 7”
"Carte blanche," said his lordship.
T assume when you say carte
blanche you mean—”
'Carte blanche," his lordship repeat
qulrlngly.
"Well?" Philip replied curtly.

"I mean to show you what my notion

He departed, with his sprlp and the
staff (consisting of the photographer
and a youth who could write), very
Joyous tn hit new profession, and
withal gloomy as a man. The thought
of Varcoe dead, touched his heart; a
nameless apprehension concerning John

had sharpened the knife by which he
should recommence the carving of his

Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 10—President
Roosevelt believes that the various re
ligious denomination!* can beat serve
the cause of Christianity by work!rig
shoulder to shoulder and that the tend-
ency of the creeds la to come together.
President Roosevelt expressed thla sen
timent Saturday in a talk at the two
hundredth anniversary of the founda
tion of the Christ Episcopal church
here.
The chief executive said:
"I cannot understand how any Amer
ican citizen who has the faintest feel
ing of patriotism can fail to appreciate
how absolutely essential religion Is to
the welfare of the country. We should
build our material civilization only as a
foundation for the spiritual.
"The various denominations can best
serve the Lord by working hand in
hand and shoulder to shoulder In the
great war for decency, honest, clean
living and righteousness."
The president concluded by declaring
that our country could not continue as
a republic to rise to the level of great
ness unless that greatness be based
upon and conditioned by the teachings
of the New* Testlment and the gospels.
JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS
TAKES ISSUE WITH BRYAN
Yaxoo City, Miss., Sept. 10.—Replying
a request from a Richmond, Va.,
paper for an expression of his views on
Mr. Bryan's Idea of government own
ership of railroads, Hon. John Sharp
Williams, of this city, the minority
leader In congress, has sent the fol
lowing answer; '
“I am opposed to government owner
ship of railroads, Irrevocably, now and
forever. In theory and In practice—a
question concerning which Mr. Bryan
and I agree to disagree. But I see no
good to be attained In my rushing Into
print on the subject We will simply
vote It down If offered as a plank of
the Democratic platform. Meanwhile
let ub not magnify Democratic differ
ences. There are so many’ things we
arc agreed upon—let us magnlfj them.
Push them to the front If we can.
Bryan Is not Infallible, and does not
pretend to be. He Is right about so
many things, eloquently and greatly
right, but absolutely and altogether
wrong about this one thing, especially
from the standpoint of racial peace
and quiet In the South. Let us strong
ly regulate railroad rates, but not op
erate railroads."
