CHAPTER XII.
The Bank Note.
The police, even aided by the mon
arch of Scotland Yard, made no uaeful
dlM-overy that day. They had no point
from which to bfgln. If Mr. Varcoe
had only given the leant and vagueat
hint to hla assistants, the enquiry per
haps might hav.< bean more success
ful. He had choaen otherwlae, how
ever, and ha waa now paying. If he had
not already paid, the penalty of vain,
glorious pride. An 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
e<l 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 spe
cial Sunday edition suggested by Lord
Nosing. Hla photographer and I ’
tame grammarian, who was also
stenographer, he regarded as two beau
tiful new toys.

hour was noon.
"Who’s there?" cried the wonderful
voice of Meredith, and Philip nottcedl

want to have a talk with you. If you
can spare the time."
No reply came and Philip knocked I
again.
"Did yog hear?" he questioned.! I
“I—I can’t talk Just noW," Meredith
replied, and Philip seemed to detect|
tenrs In the voice.
"Shall you be In for lunch, may I
ask?"
Another pause and then an agltated|
response!
*T don’t think so; I may be^H
Philip walked to the head of thel
stairs, undecided what to do. He had
ret his mind on an Interview with John
Meredith, not necessarily for reproduc
tion in The Courier, but for. hla own
enlightenment. The young man's sing
ular demeanor on the previous night, at
nwntlon of Captain Pollexfen’s brother,
had remained In Philip's mind with
special clearness. And the matter or
the blind presented features of the most
extraordinary Interest. Moreover, he
still felt strongly that Meredith waa In
need of assistance, and he wished to I
render that assistance, ■ I
Aa he stood In the shadow at thel
head of the stalra he heerd a door very
cautiously opened, and then a aoft,
tepid step along the corridor. Meredith
appeared In hat and overcoat, and Mer-
"dlth had evldantly not expected to
And Philip In the path. He gave Philip
one furtive look of pathetle dismay,
hesitated, and then ruahed paat him
down the stairs without 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
distance he waa followed by a man
who detached himself from the staring
c rowd without hindrance from the po-
he c- and whom Philip knew for a detec
tive.
Difficulties with his private photog
rapher afforded some distraction to
l'hlllp'a mind. Meredith did not come
to lunch. But Mr*. Upottery, to tjie
surprise of all the world, did come to
lunch. She was In profound mourning,
as at the Inquest, and she ate a satis
factory meal wllb Infinite gravity, re
fusing, however, the tapioca pudding
—perhaps on account of Ita flippancy.
Bile' spoke to none of the remnant of
ie,..p!e gt the tables, and none dared to
ceddreee her. She was sterner here even
than at the Inquest, and men mar
veled anew that eueh frigid and antique
rharms hod bewitched Captain Pol-
Ic-xfen, who was a Bailor and probably
therefore a connoisseur In charms of]
all countries.
Philip, who had eaten nothing, mark
ed Mrs. Upottery for his lawful prey.I
He had never In such brief part of his
life as had been devoted to silken dal
liance, achieved astounding victories]
ever tha young, but among elderly la
dles he had always been a favorite.
There waa something In his eyes that
appealed to elderly ladles, and he had
an Idea that that something would not
In vain appeal to Mra. Upottery. He
waited for her to rise, meaning to fol
low her out, but she did not rlie. In
stead of rising sho took a small book
from her pocket and began to read; It
was a prayer book of the Church of
England. One by one the guests de
parted, and at length Mra. Upottery
and the young man who meant that hla
eyes should appeal to her were left
alone together. Her eyes wandered
frgjn the prayer book and were acci
dentally caught by hla. She was In his
net.
"Mrs. Upottery!" ho addressed her
curnsstly, with a serious smile.
"Young man!" Her lone was deep
and formidable, but not unfriendly.
Tm lure 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

H-lmt V*
Her voice faltered, and she hid her
face In tha black-bordsred handlcer
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 ex
cuse himself from troubling her fur
ther when ahe astonished him by say.
Ing, as she 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 shall come
across something that may lead to
clew."
"Here?" ahe queried, looking around,
and. not waiting for hla answer, she
said, "Yes. Come and alt near me.
I m rather deaf."
"Now, how did you first become ac

"If I would what?" she positively
smiled In her turn.
"If you would mind telling me the
whole history of your relations with
the late Captain Pollexfen."
"I have been bothered and worried."
said Mrs. Upottery. “And tomorrow Is
his funeral. I hope you will go to It,
as a mark of respect.”
feel aa much like a Journalist as he
could.
She turned on her chair to face him
her llpa trembled In the effort to ar
ticulate; a terrlflc sob escaped her, and
she fell against him, seaming 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, "(Jet me
some brandy, young man."
She wae breathing heavily,
Philip, vastly disconcerted, raced
from the room and called a boy, and,
after some delay, brandy was obtain
ed and administered, and he assisted
Mrs. Upottery upstairs, finding her
very henvy 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 his—his—'■
"Don't talk,” said Philip, "If It up-

"I cannot talk of It," she answered,
■But I ran write It all down and I will
do It. It will calm me. I will do It to

He thanked her. "And may I u

"Yea." said Mrs. Upottery. "It’s ..

"Very,” Philip agreed.
""’ell." 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!” he muttered.
"Yes," said Mrs. Upottery. "Of
course not for myself, young man. I
shall give It to the Sailors’ Home at
Southampton, where once my poor—
my poor—"
Tears silenced her. Philip consented.
He had carte 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 enn't see ’Is lordship," ths boy
answered.
He was a tall, loutish lift-boy, grad
uating In the Brant school of manners,
to which Philip was not accustomed.
He therefore took the boy’s ear be
tween Ms fingers and thumb and press
ed the eecond finger Into a particular
spot behind tha ear. In five seconds
:ne lift waa wafting him upward.
"Now show me Lord Naslng’a door,"
said Philip. "I’m not very good at ge
ography."
“I dam’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 away to your lift, and
remember to know me next time I
come.”
There waa no reply to the knock.
However, as he had a definite appoint
ment, Philip entered. The room was
empty. One electrle light burned over
the great round table. By way of II

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, aa 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 waa..
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 moat of the first bottle be
fore the peer could begin.
"And now," said he over the soup.
’HI tell you what I’ve done. Well,
I’ve spent about ft hundred and eighty!
pounds."
Lord Naslng arrested his spoon.
••You’re 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 l'va secured a
long algned article by Mrs. Upottery—
It will be delivered tomorrow—giving
the entire hlatory 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
tographic prints from his pocket.
"Here are photographs -of the house; |
the sewer; the captain's room, where
the murder was probably committed;
the atalrs; a group of boarders at
lunch; the crowds In the street; sep

"Oood!" said Lord Naslng. "Good.|
But where’s the murderer?”

He was tying a white necktie at the
summit of a bmnd sip of shirt front.
"You’re there!” said Philip, relieved.

Ills greeting so affected the valet
that the valet disappeared Into the

Lord Naslng dropped the ende of

the situation, he laughed. There was

Yacht With Former Ameri

Down.
Sydney, N. S. W„ Sept. 11.—Arthur
J. Moxham, former president of - tKe
Dominion Iron and Steel Company and
the Loralne Steel Company, hla wlf<!
and two children and the entire crow
of the yacht Adele.'ln which they were
cruising off the coast of Labrador, are
believed to have perished when the
yacht foundered.
Details of ths disaster are lacking,
but the men who are responetble for the
story of the yacht going down are
positive It was Adele, as they hod seen
her but a short time before, and after
the sinking of the "unknown" yacht
they were unable to find the Adele.
Mr. Moxham was an Englishman
about 50 yeara old. The greater part
of hla life was spent In the United
States, and from hla boyhood he was a
success In the Iron Industry. He was
at Johnstown during the great flood,
where he was engaged In the Iron

GENTRY'S SHOWS
Performance Is Best of its
Sort Ever Seen
Here.
Children and grown-ups find peren
nlal delight In the tented performance,
and In the doings of educated animals
humanity finds keen delight. Ample
testimony for corroboration of this fact
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
dreds were turned away because room
could not be found for another person
without seriously hampering the work
of the animal pertormers. The presa
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. No 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
ileasure of the performance. The fam-
ly of Japanese acrobats, father and
three aons, the youngest a tiny chap,
are the best ever seen here.
