TRAGEDY AND A STOLEN FORTUNE

CHAPTER XII.
Thn Bank Note.
The police, even aided bjr the mon'
arch of Scotland Yard, made no uaeful
discovery that day. They had no point
from which to begin. If Mr. Varcoe
had only given the leant and vaguest
hint to hla aMlatanta, the enquiry per
haps might havs been more success,
ful. He had chosen otherwise, how
ever, and he waa now paying, If he had
not a Ire dy paid, the penalty of vain
glorloua pride. As for the Journalists,
they did no better than the police: but
then they were hampered by the police,
whereas the police were not hampered
by them. Philip, as the newly appoint
ed representative of The Courier,
moved with hla satellites regally up
and down the house. He had conceived
a preliminary and extremely compre
henslve plan, and he began at once to
carry It out, though he did not hope
for Immediate results; he had forty
hours before the next ordinary edition
went to press, and If any unusual luck
happened to him within twenty hours
there would still be time for the epe-
i lot Sunday edition suggested by Lord
Kaslng. Hla photographer and hla
tnme grammarian, who was also ■
stenographer, he regarded as two beau
tiful new toys.
In the execution of hla plan,
knocked at John Meredlth'a door. The
hour was noon.
"Who's there r' cried the wonderful
voice of Meredith, and Philip noticed
In It a tone of almost excessive.alarm.
"It's Masters," Philip replied. "I
wnnt to have n talk with you, if you
can spare the time."
No reply came and Philip knocked
again.
"Did you hear?” he questioned.
"I—I can't talk Just now," Meredith
replied, and Philip seemed to detect
tears In the voice.
"Shall you be In for lunch, may
ask?"
Another pause and then an agitated
response!
"I don't think so; I may be."
Philip walked to the bead of the
stairs, undecided what to do. He had
set hla mind on an Interview with John
.Meredith, not necessarily for reproduc
tion In The Courier, but tor hla own
enlightenment. The young man's sing
ular demeanor on the previous night, at
mention of Captain Polloxfen's brother,
had remained In Philip's mind with
special clearness. Anri the matter of
the blind presented features of the most
extraordinary Interest. Moreover, he
Mill felt strongly that Meredith was In
need of assistance, and he wished to
render that assistance.
As he stood In the shadow at the
head of the stairs he heard a door very
cautiously opened, and then n soft,
rapid atep'along. the corridor, Meredith
appeared In hat and overcoat, and Mer
edith had evidently not expected to
And Philip In tho path. He gave Philip
one furtive look of pathetic dismay,
hesitated, and then rushed past him
down the stairs w'lthout a word.
Philip, dumfounded, descended after
him to the street. Meredith had has
tened out, turned to the right and up
the alley, half running. At a discreet
illstnnce he was followed by a man
who detached himself from the staring
crowd without hindrance from the po
lice and whom Philip knew for a detoc-
tlve.
Difficulties with his private photog
rapher afforded some distraction to
Philip's mind. Meredith did not comp
to lunch. But Mrs. Upottery, to the
surprise of all the world, did come to
lunch. Bhe was In profound mourning,
Her voice faltered, and she hid her
face In the black-bordered handker
chief.
"Certainly," said Philip. "Certainly.
I wasn't aware—”
"It's at B—Brompton," sobbed Mrs.
Upottery.
He assured her that he would attend
the funeral, and he waa about to cx-
cuae himself from troubling her fur
ther when she astonished him by say.
Ing, aa aha wiped her eyes:
"What do you want me to tell you?
He replied eagerly, "I want you to
begin at the beginning and tell me
everything. I'm sure we ahall come
aeroas something that may lead to
clew."
"Here?" she queried, looking around,
and, not waiting for his answer, ahe
said, "Yes. Corns and sit near me.
I'm rather deaf."
"Now, how did you first become ac
3 ualnted with the Captain r Philip
emanded, obeying her, and trying to
feel aa much like a Journalist as he
could.
She turned on her chair to face him
her lips trembled In the effort to ar
ticulate; a terrific sob escaped her, and
she fell against him, seeming partly
to lose consciousness. Then, as If
ashamed of this weakness, she some
how found her feet and sank back on
her chair.
"Brandy,", she whispered. "Get me
some brandy, young man."
Sho was breathing heavily.
Philip, vastly disconcerted, raced
from the room.and called a boy, and,
after some dslay, brandy was obtain
ed and administered, and he assisted
Mrs. Upottery upstairs, finding her
very heavy and unwieldy, especially on
the basement steps.
"Thank you, young man,” she said.
You nre the first person who has been
kind to me, since hla—his—"
"Don't talk," said Philip, "If It up
sets you.”
"I cannot talk of If,” she answered,
'But I can write It all down and I will
do It. It will calm me. I will do It to
night, this very night."
He thnnked her. “And may I use
what you write In my paper?”
"Yes,” said Mrs. Upottery. "It's _
very rich and successful paper, Isn’t
It?
"Very,” Philip agreed.
"Well," the lady said meekly, "they
must give me a hundred guineas for
what I write. It will be worth that,
Philip waa thunderstruck. "A hun
dred guineas I” he muttered.
‘‘Yes,’’ said Mrs. Upottery. "Of
mrse not for myself, young man. I
shall give It to the Sailors’ Homo at
Southampton, where once my poor-
my poor—”
Tears silenced her. Philip consented.
He had enrte blanche.
At 7 o’clock precisely he re-entered
the Brent building.
"Which floor Is Lord Naslng's room
on?" he demanded of the lift-boy.
"You can't see 'Is lordship,” the boy
answered.
He was a tall, loutish lift-boy, grad
uating In the Brent school of manners,
to which Philip was not accustomed.
He therefore took the boy’s ear be
tween his fingers and thumb and press
ed the second finger Into a particular
spot behind the ear. In five seconds
the lift was wafting him upward.
"Now show me Lord Naslng's door,"
sold Philip. "I’m not vory good at ge
ography."
"I darn’t leave the lift," the boy pro
tested.
Come," said Philip,
The boy came.
And now knock at the door for
me."
The Boy knocked. ,
"And now run awny to your lift, and
remember to know me next time I
come."

She spoke to none of the remnant of
people at the tables, and none dared toi

than at the Inquest, and men mar

life as had been devoted to silken dal

ant tha young, but among elderly la
dies he had always been a favorite.
There was something In his eyes that
nppealed to elderly ladles, and ho had
mi Idea that that something would not
In vain appeal to Mrs. Upottery. He
waited for her to rise, meaning to fol
low her out, but she did not rise. In
stead of rising she took a small book
from her pocket and began to read; It
was a prayer book of the Church of
Kngland. One by one the guests de
parted, and at length Mra. Upottery
and the young man who meant that his
eyes should appeal to her were left
alone together. Her eyes wandered
from the prayer book and were acci
dentally caught by hit. She was In Ms
net.
“Mrs. Upottery!” he addressed her
earnestly, with a serious smile.
"Young man!” Her tone was deep
and formidable, but not unfriendly.
Tm sure you’ve been fearfully both
ered and worried by all sorts of peo
ple this morning, but I'm charged with
a special mission of Inquiry by a big
dally paper, and I wondered If you

"If I would what?" she positively
smiled In her turn.
"If you would mind telling me the
whole history of your relations with
tlie lote Captain Pollexfen."
"I have been botht red and worried,"
■-.lid Mrs. Upottery. "And tomorrow Is
his funeral. I hope you will go to It,
as a mark of respect."
ment. Philip entered. The room was
empty. One electric light burned over
the great round table. By way of Il
lumination there were also the dull
yellow horlxontol rays of the electric
beater In the fireplace; they showed
to advantage the pattern of the carpet.
Philip roughed* loudly.
"Who nre you?" said n valet coming
noiselessly out of an adjoining room.
"My nams Is Masters," said Philip.
"And I have an Important appointment
with Lord Naslng at 7 o’clock.”
"Well. I should advise you to hook
It." said the valet.
"Listen, my friend." rhlllp was be
ginning. when Lord Kaslng strolled In
to the room In the wake of his man.
He was tying n white necktie si the
summit of n broad alp of shirt front.
"You're there!” said Philip, relieved.
"I thought It was very strange If you'd
forgotten me.”
His greeting so affected the valet
that the valet disappeared Into the
next room to conceal his senss of hu
mor.
Lord Naslng dropped the ends of
his necktie. Then, having considered
the situation, he laughed. There was
nothing else to do.
"Oh!" said he. "You'rf the young
man that's got charge of the Corner
House affair."
I am,” answered Philip very drily.
He had been called "young mnn" Just
once too often that day, and laird
Naslng was the final offender.
What have you done."
Are you engaged for dinner?" Philip
asked him, as If at the sword's point.
"N—no," said Lord Naslng, quite
unused to these tactics from his legion
aries.
"Well." snld Philip. "Come along
and dine with me at the Savoy and
I’ll tell you there what I have done.
I'm too exhausted to talk till I've got
some Burgundy Inside me.”
Silence reigned for a space In the
council chamber.
•straker," Lord Naslng called.
•My lord?" the valet appeared.
'My coat. Mr. Masters has been
good enough to ask me to dine with
him at the Savoy.”
"If you don't mind," Philip added,
"we'll go to the grill room, as I am
not dressed."
He was strangely enthusiastic In his
new profession. He reckoned that he
was succeeding. And certainly his
exit In company with Lord Naslng
from the Brent building gave currency
to a rumor among the Innumerable
staff that he was.
The reception of the pair In the
grill room of the Savoy, where Lord
Naslng was well known, amounted to
a triumph. Philip ordered the wine,
and drank moet of the first bottle be
fore the peer could begin.
"And now," said he over the soup.
"I’ll tell you what I’ve done. Well,
I've spant about a hundred and eighty
pounds.”
Lord Naslng arrested his spoon.
"You’ra a costly luxury," said his
lordship. “No wonder you ask me to
dinner.'
“Not at all. I’m cheap. In return
for that trifling sum I've secured
long signed article by Mrs. Upottery—
It will be delivered tomorrow—giving
the entire history of her relations with
the dead man, and also his Interviews
with signed statements from thirty-
one out of the sixty boarders In the
house. I've also secured a long article
from myself of unique Interest. And
look here!"
He tumbled a heap of rough pho
tographlc prints from his pocket.
"Here aro photographs of the house,
the sewer; the captain's room, where
the murder was probably committed
the stairs; a group of boarders
lunch; the crowds In the street; sep
arate portraits of forty boarders. See
this photograph of Mrs. Upottery
Also these photographs of policemen
and detectives. Never before, 1 fancy,
has a newspaper had photographs of
detectives In the act of detecting. And
here, photograph of the Volga—the
captain's last command. Also a col
lection of portraits of Olralda."
"Good!" said Lord Kaslng. "Good.
But where’s the murderer?"
"All In due course," Philip replied.
All In due course. I have only been
at work ten hours.”
Suddenly Lord Kaslng laughed.
"What's the Joke?" Philip ventured
to Inquire.
"I was Just thinking,” Lord Kaslng
answered. "Supposing you are the
murderer—you might me, you know!—
what a scoop It would be for The
Courier In the end!"
"Yes, wouldn't It!" Philip concurred,
At the end of the generous but rapid
meal he asked for the bill, and opened
his pocketbnnk to get a bank note. He
unfolded his bundle of notes. The note
that first met his eye was one for too
pounds, which constituted rather less
than half of his entire fortune. He
rend mechanically the number and
date; "E-34 *87068 London, 16th May,
1904." And the room began to rock
and the world to be unreal. The num
ber of the notes handed to Captain
Pollexfen by his employers on the fatal
Tuesday had been published every-
where. And this note was one of theml
Philip knew the numbers by heart.
He commanded himself, discovered a
fiver, put the other notes back Into his
pocket-book, and paid the bill.
CHAPTER XIII.
A Discovery.
Philip's departure from the Savoy
grill room was' accomplished with the
Irreducible minimum of formality; and
the cloak room attendant had a nar
row .escape of being maimed for life,
merely because of a slight tendency
toward ritualism In the delivery of the
Journalist's hat and coat. Aa for Lord
Kaslng, abandoned with such breath
taking some ono pitched the bed hang.
Ings Into the middle of his supper table
as far less astonished than he. Lord
Naslng's sole comfort was a moral cer
tainty that Philip muat be the criminal
himself. Philip bounded Into a cab.
and told the driver to drive. In an un
mentionable manner, to the Devonshire
mansion. Hs drew ngnln the pocket-
book from his pocket. Happily the
cab was the last word of civilisation In
cabs, and had a small oil lamp fixed
in Its Interior, so that Philip could ex
amine the bank note thoroughly and
at leisure. Kbt only was there no mis
take about the number of the note, but
he had another note for a hundred
pounds, and that also bore one of the
ndvertlsed numbers. He thus held In
Ills possession two of the notes which
the shipping firm had paid to Captain
Pollexfen on the day of the latter’s
murder. Ko wonder the hand trembled
and he forgot for the moment that he
was a Journalist and therefore “Ipso
facto" Imperturbable!
Oxwlch, who might with advnntage
have started a school of Imperturbabili
ty for young Journalists opened to him
on the fifth floor of the Devonshire
mansion.
"Sir Anthony In?"
"Yes, sir. But he’s expecting—”
“I must see him Instantly," said Phil
ip. "Instantly!"
Oxwlch had a great power of grasp
ing a situation.
"Certainly, air." And without anoth
er word he escorted Philip to the draw
ing room. Sir Anthony was walking
nervously to and fro, an unrivaled
chrysanthemum In his buttonhole. He
Jumped an the door opened.
"Say, Tony," Philip spluttered out.
"Look here, old man." Sir Anthony
stopped him with a rapid flow of words.
"Awful glad to see you. But you can't
stop here. Josephine has dined with
me down below In tne restaurant, and
she's Just gone for'a-moment to see
Kitty, and then she's cotqlng here and
we're going to try over one of her
songs, and then I have to drive her to
the Metro, or she'll be late. She comes
on at 9:SO. It'a a fearful bore, but
what can I do? See you afterwards.

a suppressed fever and nearly light

by bis friend's virulence.
"Well?' Sir Anthony Inquired.
"What? Are they forged?'
"I wish they were!" Philip answered.
And he explained. Sir Anthony, not
unnaturally, wna difficult to convince,
but ufter Oxwlch hnd consulted two
different newspapers and ascertained
that the numbers were Indeed those of
two notes belonging to the murdered
captain, the baronet was at any rate
reduced to aatoutuled exclamations. By
that time they had retreated to the
dining room. "Oxwlch,” he demanded,
at length, "where did we get these
notes?"
"From Miss Fire," Oxwlch replied,
full of finely controlled emotion. "We
had no other hundred-pound notes.
Miss Fire repaid them to ua on Tues-
day night. You will remember, Sir
Anthony, that you expressed surprise."
"I'd lent her a monkey to get her
aunt's husband out of a difficulty, or

to Philip. 'That was last week. And

"What time was that?"
"What time was tt, Oxwlch?"
"About midnight, Sir Anthony."
"It Is I who must go after her then,'
said Philip. "And at once!"
"I'll go with you," Sir Anthony mut
tered excitedly. "This Is a most serious

"Serious?” Philip cried. "Why, It’a
the key to the entire situation! Come

"It will be difficult to neglect Mrs.

"Oh! Conf Go and tell Mrs. Ap

Down.
Sydney, N. S. W, Sept. 11.—Arthur
J. Moxham, former president of - tfie
Dominion Iron and Steel Company and
the Loralne Steel Company, his wife
and two children and the entire crew
of the yacht Adele, In which they were
cruising off the coast of Labrador, are
believed to have perished when the
yacht foundered.
Details of the disaster are lacking,
but the men who are responsible for the
story of the yacht going down are
positive It was Adele, as they had seen
her but a short time before, and after
the sinking of ths "unknown" yacht
they were unable to find the Adele.
Mr. Moxham was an Englishman
about 60 years old. The greater part
of his life was spent In the United
States, and from his boyhood he was a
success In the Iron Industry. He waa
at Johnstown during the great flood,
where he was engaged In the Iron

Performance Is Best of its
Sort Ever Seen
Here.
Children and grown-ups find peren

and In the doings of educated animals
humanity finds keen delight. Ample
testimony for corroboration of thla tact
was found Monday In two crowds that
tested the capacity of Gentry Bros.' tent
at Jackson and Old Wheat streets, aft
ernoon and night.
At the afternoon performance hun
dreda were turned away because room
could not be found tor another person
without seriously hampering the work
of the animal performers. The press
agent's promise of "bigger, better and
grander than ever" waa verified to the
satisfaction of everyone.
Gentry Bros, have accomplished mar
vels In training horses, dogs, elephants
and monkeys. Ko one can watch the
wonderful work of these dumb crea
tures without marveling both at the
Intelligence displayed and the Infinite
patience of the trainers In bringing
about such perfection.
There are many new features this
year. The bell ringing horses, who pro
duce "Home, Sweet Home," the marvel
ous grouping and evolutions of the
beautiful Shetland ponies, the ponder
ous tricks of the elephants, the work
of the canine family—all add to the
pleasure of the performance. The fam-
ty of Japqnese acrobats, father and
three Sons, the youngest a tiny chap,
are the best ever seen here.
