A THRILLING NOVEL OF MYSTERY,
TRAGEDY AND A STOLEN FORTUNE

(Copyright, IKK, by Eden Pblllpotta nod Arnold Bennett)
CHAPTER XII.
Thn Bank Not*.
The police, even aided by the man'
arch of Scotland Tard, made no useful
discovery that day. They had no point
from which to begin. If Mr. Varcoe
had only given the leaat and vaguest
hint to hie assistants, the enquiry per'
haps might hav* been more success
ful. He had choaen otherwise, how.
ever, and he was now paying. If he had
not already paid, the penalty of vain
glorious 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 his satellites regally up
and down the house. He had conceived
a preliminary and extremely compre
henslve plsn, 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
wont 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
Naslng. His photographer and his
mine grammarian, who was also
stenographer, he regarded as two beau
tiful new toys.
In the execution of his plan, he
knocked at John Meredith’s door. The
bour was noon.
"Who’s there?” cried the wonderful
voice of Meredith, and Philip noticed
In It a tone of almost excessive alarm.
“It’s Masters,” Philip replied,
want to have a talk with you, If you
can spare the time.”
So 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
tenrs In the voice,
"Shall you be In for lunch, may I
ask?"
Another pause and then an agitated
I s response! -
"I don’t think so; I may be.”
Philip walked to the head of the
stairs, undecided what to do. He had
set his mind on an Interview with John
Meredith, not necessarily for reproduc
tion In The Courier, but for his own
enlightenment. The young man's sing
ular demeanor on the previous night, at
mention of Captain Pollexfen’s brother,
had remained In Philip's mind with
special clearness. And the matter of
the blind presented features of the most
extraordinary Interest. Moreover, he
still 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 step along the corridor. Meredith
appeared In hat and overcoat, and Mer
edith had evidently not expected to
And Philip In the path. He gave Philip
one furtive look of pathetic dismay,
hesitated, and then rushed past 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
instance he was followed by a mon
v ho detached himself from the staring
crowd without hindrance from the po
lice and whom Philip knew for a detec
tive
Difficulties with his private photog
rapher afforded some distraction to
Philip’s mind. Meredith did not come
to lunch. But Mrf. Upottery, to the
surprise of all the world, did come to
lunch. She was In profound mourning,
as nt the Inquest, and she ate a satis
factory meal with Infinite gravity, re
fusing. however, the tapioca pudding
—perhaps on account of Its flippancy.
Pile spoke to none of the remnant of
people at the tables, and none dared to
address her. She was sterner here even
thnn at the Inquest, and men mar
veled anew that such frigid and antlquo
charms had bewitched Captain Pol
lexfen, who was a sailor and probably
therefore a connoisseur In charms of
all countries.
Philip, who had eaten nothing, mark
ed Mrs. Upottery for his lawful prey.
He hod never In such brief part of his
llf» as had been devoted to silken dal
liance, achieved astounding victories
over the young, but among elderly la
dies he had always been a favorite.
There was something In his eyes that
appealed to elderly Indies, and he had
an Idea that that something would not
in vain appeal to Mrs. Upottery. He
walled for her to rise, meaning to fol-
low her out, but the did not rtee. In
stead of rising the took a amah book
from her pocket and began to read; It
whs a prayer book of the Church of
Unglnnd. One by one the gueste de
parted, and at length Mrs. 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 hla. She was In his
net.
“Mrs. Upottery!" he addressed her
earnestly, with a serious smile.
"Young man!” Iter tone was deep
and formidable, but not unfriendly.
'Tm sure you’ve been fearfully both
ered and worried by all aorta 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
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 was about to ex
cuse himself from troubling her fur
ther when she 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?” she queried, looking around,
and, not waiting for his answer, she
said, "Yes. Come and sit near me.
I’m rather deaf.”
"Now, how did you first become ac
qualnted with the Captain?” Philip
demanded, obeying her, and trying to
feel as much like a Journalist
could.
She turned on her chair to face him
her lips trembled In the effort to ar
tlculate; a terrific sob escaped her, and
she fell against him, seeming partly
to lose consciousness. Then, as r
ashamed of this weakness, she some
how found her feet and sank back on
hgr chair.
“Brandy” she whispered. "Get me
some brandy, young mon.”
She was 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 heavy and unwieldy, especially on
the basement steps.
“Thank you, young man,” she said.
' You are the first person who has been
kind to me, since his—his—”
"Don’t talk,” said Philip, "If It up
sets you.”
"I cannot talk of It,” she answered,
’But I can write It all down and I will
do It. It will calm me. I will do It to-
nuid

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,
ns a mark of respect."
thanked her. “And may
what you write In my paper?"
’’Yes.’’ said Mrs. Upottery. ‘It's a
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 1 write. It will be worth that."
Philip was thunderstruck. "A hun
dred guineas!” he muttered.
"Yes,” said Mrs. Upottery. "Of
urse not for myself, young man. 1
all 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 Nosing'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 tho 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
tho lift was wafting him upward.
"Now show me Lord Naslng’s door,"
said Philip. "I'm not very good at ge
ography."
"I dam’t leave the lift,” the boy pro
tested.
"Come," aald 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 wqa no reply to the knock.
However, aa he had a definite appoint
ment, Philip entered. The room waa
empty. One electric light burned over
the great round table. By way of Il
lumination there were also the dull
yellow hnrixnntal rays of the electric
heater In the fireplace; they abowed
to advantage the pattern of the carpet.
Philip coughed loudly.
"Who are you?” said a valet coming
noiselessly out of an adjoining room.
"My name Is Mastera,” said Philip.
"And I have an Important appointment
with Lord Naslng nt 7 o’clock.”
"Well. I should advise you to hook
It," said the valet.
"Listen, my friend,” Philip was be
ginning. when Lord Naslng strolled In
to the room In the wake of hla man.
He waa tying n whits necktie at the
summit of a broad alp of shirt front.
"You're there!" said Philip, relieved.
”1 thought It waa very atrange If you'd
forgotten me.".
His greeting so affected the valet
that the valet disappeared Into the
next room to conceal his sense of hu
mor.
Lord Naslng dropped the ends of
hla necktie. Then, having considered
the situation, he laughed. There waa
nothing else to do.
"Oh!" said he. "You're the young
man Hint's got charge or the Corner
House nffalr."
"I am," answered Philip very drily.
He had been called "young man" Just
once too often that day. and Lord
Naslng was the final offender.
"What have you done."
"Are you engaged for dinner?” Philip
asked him, as If at the award's point.
”N—no," said Lord Naslng, qulto
unused to these taettea from hla legion
aries.
"Well," said Philip. "Como 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, aa I am
not dressed.”
He was strangely enthusiastic In his
new profession. He reckoned that
was succeeding. And certainly hla
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.
"I’ll tell you what I’ve done. Well,
I’ve spent about a hundred and eighty
pounds.”
Lord Naslng arrested hts spoon.
"You're a costly luxury," said his
lordship. "No wonder you ask me

dinner.
Not at all. I’m cheap. In return
for that trilling aum I’ve secured a
long signed article by Mrs. Upottery—
It will be delivered tomorrow—giving
the entire history of her relations with
the dead man, and aleo hla 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. Ang
look here!" ,
He tumbled a heap of rough pho
tographic prints from his pocket.
"Here are photographs of the house,
the sewer; the captalifs room, where
the murder was probably committed
the stairs; a group of boarders a
lunch; the crowds In the street; sep'
nrate portraits of forty boarders. See
this photograph of Mrs. Upottery
Also these photographs of policemen
and detectives. Never before, I 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 Glralda.”
"GoadI” said Lord Naslng. "Good.
But where’s the murderer?"
"AH In due course," Philip replied.
'All In due course. I have only been
at work ten houra.”
Suddenly Lord Naslng laughed.
"What's the Joke?" Philip ventured
to Inquire.
"I was Just thinking." Lord Naslng
answered. “Supposing you are the
murderer—you might me, you knowl
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 pocketbook to get a bank note. He
unfolded his bundle of notes. The note
thnt first met his eye was one for 100
pounds, which constituted rather less
than half of his entire fortune. He
rend mechanically the number and
date: "K-34 687056 London, 15th May,
1904." And the room began to rock
and tho world to be unreal. The num
ber of the notes handed to Captain
Pollexfen by hie 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 bnck Into his
pocket-book, and paid the bill.
CHAPTER XIII.
A Discovery.
Philip's departure from the Savoy
grill room waa accomplished with the
Irreducible minimum of formaljty; 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. As for Lord
Naslng, abandoned with such breath
taking some one pitched the bed hang
ings into the middle of his supper table
as fnr less astonished than he. Lord
Naslng’s sole comfort was a moral cer
tainty that Philip must be the criminal
himself. Philip bounded Into a cab.
and told the driver to drive. In an un
mentionable manner, to the Devonshire
mansion. He drew 'again the nocket-
book from his pocket. Happily the
cab was the laat word of clvlllzatlbn
cabs, and had a small oil lamp fixed
In Its Interior, so that Philip could ex
amine the bank note thoroughly and
at leisure. Not 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
advertised numbers. He thus held In
his possession two of the notes which
the shipping firm had paid to Captain
Pollexfen on the day of the Intter’n
murder. No wonder the hand trembled
and he forgot for the moment that he
was a journalist and therefore "Ipso
facto" Imperturbable!
Oxwlch, who might with advantage
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 as the door opened.

stopped him with a rapid flow of words.

what can J do? See you afterwards,
eh?”
I don’t care for fifty Josephines,"
said Philip, producing hla pocket-book.
"How do you explain thla?" The door
| njwned again,
j "Here she Is." Tony whispered.
I "Skip, my son!'! He glanced at the
door and his face suffered a great
chnnge. It did not merely fall; It fell
to pieces. "Mildred?" he exclaimed.
"My darling Tony?” twittered a Huf
fily dressed and maturely handsome
woman, who floated across the room In
a mate of chiffon, and then took Tony
by the neck. After which, on perceiv
ing Philip, she gave a little "Oh!” of
coquettish surprise.
"My friend. Philip Masters,” said
Tony, disengaging himself. "Phil, thla
Is my sister, Mrs. Appleby.”
"I'm always delighted to meet my
Tony’s friends.” Mrs. Appleby assert
ed. sailing down upon Philip.
It was at once evident that she con
ducted her existence exclusively In the
superlative degree. There are many
such women. They Invariably remain
stationary at the age of js. spend the
largest possible sums on costumes, and
fight eternally against embonpoint.
Their husbands are usually dead, and
If they have not a wonderful young
sen they have a wonderful young
daughter. Mra. Appleby had a son. as
soon appeared.
"And what are you doing In town?
Tony demanded, with a pitiable effort
to be Joyous and enthusiastic.
"It's poor Horace," his sister re
plied, sinking with a sad sigh, but
gracefully, Into a chair. "He’s unwell
again. Ho telegraphed for me this
morning, and I drove to Crewe and
caught the eleven express. It doesn’t
seem to be anything serious, but really
something will have to be done. For
his age—14, Mr. Masters—he’s wonder
fully advanced. In fact, his teacher

that! But his constitution won’t stand
And I fancy there's something In
the air of Blackheath, I shall have
to take him away. He looks on you aa
quite a second father, Tony, dear, and
as I—"
Oxwlch showed himself In the door
way. He said nothing. He merely In
terrupted the discourse by gazing at Sir
Anthony In- a fashion which Indicated
alarm, regret, Impotence, and entreaty.
Disturbing sounds were to be heard In
the corridor.
'And as I—’’ Mra. Appleby vlvacloui-
1 y resumed.
“Half a second, Mildred!" Tony said,
almost blushing, and hurried out of
the room, only naif shutting the door.
Philip and Mrs. Appleby regardei
each other, Philip being burned up with
a suppressed fever and nearly light
headed.
'And as I nlways consult dear Tony
these—" Mra, Appleby recommenced,
with a siren’s smile.
'Just so!” said Philip, and left her In
order to follow Tony.
"Sister, Indeed!” he heard an Irate
voice. "Then why should your silly
Oxwlch keep me out?” And his eye
caught the laat six Inches of Jose
phine's skirt as she whisked magnifi
cently out of Tony’s flat.
Tony gazed blankly at Philip, Ox
wlch completely shut the door on Mrs.
Appleby.
"J must go after her Immediately,"
said Tony.
"In your place. Sir Anthony, I should
delay twenty-four houra,” Oxtvlch re
marked, In low, respectful tones.
Impossible, Oxwlch!"
If not forty-eight—If not forty-
eight!” Oxwlch pursued. "Pardon the
liberty, Sir Anthony—”
"See here!" cried Philip, careless of
being heard, and brandishing his notes.
"Yotr paid me these notes on Wednes
day morning. Look at the numbera.
Take them and look at them. I tell
you."
Sir Anthony obeyed, somewhat awed
his friend's virulence.
Well?" 8lr Anthony Inquired.
What? Are they forged?"
I wish they were!" Philip answered.
And he explained. Sir Anthony, not
unnaturally, waa difficult to convince,
but after Oxwlch had consulted two
different newspapers and ascertained
that the numbers were Indeed those of
a notes belonging to the murdered
rnptnln, the baronet was at any rate
reduced to astounded 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 surpriae.'
“I’d lent her a monkey to get her
aunt's husband out of a difficulty, or
some rot or other,” Tony said quickly
to Philip. "That was last week. And
on Tuesday she told me she only need
ed three hundred, and she gave me two
hundred back.”
"What time was that?”
"What time was It, 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 la a most serious
thing.”
"Serious?” Philip cried. “Why, Its
the key to the entire situation! Come
on.” He snatched the notes.
'It will be difficult to neglect Mrs.
Appleby, Sir Anthony," said Oxwlch.
"She Informed me that she had not yet
dined.”
"Oh! Conf Go and tell Mrs. Ap
pleby, Oxwlch, thst—No. I’ll go my
self."
He rushed to the drawing room.

CROWDS ATTEND
GENTRY’S SHOWS
Performance Is Best of its
Soil; Ever Seen
Here.
Children and grown-upa 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 Jackaon 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 performers. The press
agent’s promise of “bigger, better and
grander than ever” was verified to the
satisfaction of everyone.
Gentry Bros, have accomplished mar.
vela 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 tinging 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 odd to the
pleasure of the performance. The fam
ily of Japanese acrobats, father and
three sons, the youngest a tiny chap,
are the best ever seen here.
Two performances Tuesday will
dose the engagement In Atlanta. The
afternoon performance begins at 2:10
and the evening at 8:16 o’clock.
