had the singular fact of making Philip
undeniably and astonishingly happy.
He asked himself. Indeed, why the fact
that Meredith was Olrelda In disguise
should render him so absurdly Joy
ous. He pretended to hlmsrif that there
was no logic In the feeling of pleasure.
But that waa pretence merely. He
knew In the depth of his being that his
Joy waa (irmly baaed in the logic of hts
heart. He perceived now why he had
liked Meredith from the moment of
their first meeting, and why he had al
ways been conscious of an apparently
strange Instinct to protect and assist
Meredith. The disguise had deceived
his brain, but It had not deceived the
Instinctive. Inarticulate port of him.
"So you are Miss Pollegfen?" he
questioned, with a smile, the power of
whose persuasiveness he did
guess.
"I am Mary Pollexfen," waa the half
ahy reply.
Of course she was a woman!
spite her clothes, she was for Philip,
as she faced him there In the lltt e
green, confined office with its desk and
ledgers, the moat Intensely feminine
woman that the world contained. How
came It that hts Intellectual apparatus
had never discerned her sex? How
came It—but hts mind waa full
queries.
'■** I* very strange." said Philip,
that I did not recognize you aa Olral-
da. Because I had seen your portrait
at the Physique Club, and what i
more, the portrait had positively haunt
ed me.’*
do not think It very strange, after
all, Mary Pollexfen answered. "You
see I am pretty expert ot making up.
Seven years ago I played nothing but
principal boy’—on account of my
height, I suppose. So I was well used
to men's clothes. And then the scar ab
solutely changes my face.”
"But where did you get that awful
wound ?"
"I paint It each morning,” Mary Pol.
lexfen explained, falnty smiling at Phil
Ip's astonishment. "It waa by accident
a long time ago that I found out how
a scar across the cheek like that seem
ed to alter the position of the cheek
bone and make all my face different."
"Then you can wash it o(f at any
timer’
"Certainly."
"You relieve me Immensely, Miss
Pollexfen." Philip sighed.
"Unfortunately," said she, "nly hair
won't grow quite aa easily aa 1 can
wash off that scar.”
There waa a significant pause.
"And now. Miss Pollexfen," said Phil
Ip courageously, "don't you think we
had better come to business at once?"
"Business?" she echoed the word, aa
If startled.
Yes," he said, "don't you think you
had better tell me why .you are here
In disguise. I know you must be In
great sorrow. I guess you are in great
difficulty. And I am Just as sure as
I am of anything that 1 can help you.
"How ran you help me?" she stem,
mered timidly, gazing zelf-conscloutly
at the desk.
I shall be able to answer that ques.
tlon better when you have talked to
me a little. Talk to me. Tell me. I
would be willing to do a great deal for
you, a very great deal. I’ve no inten
tion of Informing you that I would
cheerfully sacrifice my life to save
your little finger from harm. Because
If I began In that strain I should feel
an awful ass. Still—” he nodded hla
head several times quickly as though
to emphasize his words—“you may
command me." He looked at her
steadily.
"Really?
Her manner of uttering that single
word enclmnted Philip. In her tone
there was something of entreaty, some
thing of an unserlous and delicate In.
credibility, something of a challenge,
and something queenllke. He seem
ed to see In her at length the wor.
Hhiped beauty of the stage—not at all
spoilt by Incense and homage, but yet
aware of the potency of her charm, and
accustomed to the vows of devotees.
"Really!" he Insisted.
They exchanged a glance. And
that glance established their relations.
In the brief Instant of Its duration each
formed a resolve, the one to trust, the
other to shield, and the resolve waa
momentous, definite and final.
Mnry Pollexfen sat down.
"Can we talk here 7” she demanded
suspiciously, looking at the door.
"Where else con we talk?" Philip
asked. "The door Is shut. I’ll keep
an eye on It. Now, will you telf m
why you are here In this disguise?"
"I came to look after my father, 1
said Mary. "I came to watch over him,
Perhaps you will say It was a childish
Idea, but—”
"And a disguise was nscessary for
•hat?" • . . . .
"Yes. If my poor father had had
the slightest Idea that I was meddling
In his life he would have left the place.*
"You were not quite on good terms,
was that It?"
Mary Pollexfen agreed with a gest
ure. "We had quarreled," she said, we
had not spoken to each other for sev
eral years. I was very sorry—very sor
ry to upset him and very sory that he
would not see me—but I could not help
It”
"Yes?" Philip encouraged her.
She was now on the opposite side of
the desk from Philip, Idly and nerv
ously pleating a piece of paper Into the
form of a fan. Then she leaned her
head on one hand.

stage,” she proceeded,
wanted to go on the stage. The stage
was In my blood. But my father hated
the stage. Perhaps he had a cause
to. He left me at school In Southend
and went on a voyage, and when he
came back from hla voyage I waa an
actress on tour with a provincial com
pany. Not a No. 1 company, Mr. Mae
ters, but a wretched little company do
ing fit-up towns. I hadn't written to
my father to tell him. I dared not. At
least, perhaps I dared; but somehow I
could not put the words on the paper.
So It was a terrible surprise for him
when he did come back and learnt the
news. I got a cousin ot ours to tell
him.”
"Your mother was dead?"
"Yes. She died when I was born.
Just Imagine my position. At 15 I had
had enough of school—too much! I
could have gone with my father on hla
Ip, perhaps. But though my father
jd I uced to be good friends, and I
liked the sea pretty well, I could never
have been reconciled to the life on
board a tramp steamer. Only my
father's wish to be all In all to me
could have made him dream of such a
thing. I was obliged to live some
where then. I could have lived with
some cousins, but even at IS I had ex
tremely strong likes and dislikes, and
the prospect of living with my cousins
didn’t appeal to me a little bit, though

•'You see that, don't you?" aha cried
raising her voice, and, as It were,
clutching for hla sympathy. "You see
that? Well, I wanted to earn my llv.

ple such aa I don't choose their careers.
Their careers are decided when they
nre bom. Mine waa. Nothing could
have kept me off the stage. I was
very sorry for my father's sorrow, and
I think I may say I didn't let htB an-
5 er make me angry. He couldn't un-
erstand. How could he be expected
to understand? Supposing that I had
suggested to him that he should g'
up his ship and force himself to go
the stage, he would have thought I was
mad. But that would have been exact
ly the same thing as his asking me to
give up the stage and voyage with him
or live as a lodger with the Sldgwlcks—
those are my cousins. I tried to ex
plain that to him, but he couldn't see
It. He couldn't. He talked about wo
man's sphere, the dear old thing!"*
"Then you fought out the question
at an Interview?"
Mary Pollexfen gave a little shudder.
"Yea," she said. “My company hap

I waa lodging In a little room In the

It out That was the worst day of my
life, except the day after my father's
death. And I was only 15. I was only
16 and he was over 60. Think of It!
Now he Is dead, something soft In my
heart hints that perhaps I ought to
have given way. But- no) No! It
had to be. There are things stronger
than affection. I loved my father. My
father loved me. But we parted. He
might have used force -with me. He
very nearly did use force with the man
ager of the company. I won't tell you
what he said when we parted. No
one will ever know that except me.
Now, I think It over I see I must have
had extraordinary Individual force,
even at that age—call It obstinacy—to
withstand him. He returned to his
ship. I went on with my business as
the least Important member of a tour
ing company of no Importance at all."
"Why!" aald Philip, "it waa trag
edy! ”
That's Just what It was," said Mary,
"and it often happens that In a real
tragedy nobody is to blame—and every
one suffers."
"Didn’t you see him again?”
'I made two attempts for peace. The
first was when I waa 18. I saw him
once. I insisted on seeing him. It

"But what?"
Mary's eyes moistened. "It Is Uncle

not sure that I have ever seen him—I

later, from what the Sldgwlcks used
tell me. Walter Pollexfen waa

He once locked another boy up In a

the boy wouldn't give him half an ap

on tho stage of the Britannia one night.
It was supposed to be an accident. But

was 'blrty years ago. Then he went

America he found her again, and he
made her go with him—I suppose be
cause she had come Into some money.
And then she died. In Cleveland.''

"It Is supposed that he killed her.

have cuttings of the articles that ap

newspapers about the affair. Uncle had
to disappear, at least he did disap

all over the world. He was In a revo
lution In Uruguay. He had a circus
In Yokohama. But my father only
heard rumors of him at long Intervals.
On the other hand he seemed always
to know exactly where my father was.
And front time to time he would write
and demand money."
And did he get It?"
'Ye*, he got It. It would, of course,
have been better If he had not got It.

"No, but l’va heard from him."
“When?"
"About three weeks ago I got

the cause of my coming here. I will
show It to you. Then you can Judge
for yourself."
She paused, and slowly drew a let-

read:

me twenty pounds. It Isg't a question
of twenty pounds. It Is a question of
twenty thousand, and lota more. I
only want half the profits, and that’s

your father, I'm given to understand.
Or rather he's quarreled with you.

of an extraordinary silence.
Of course,” said he, "knowing what
you did of your uncle's character you
naturally took that for a serious
threat?"
“I did—most certainly. I thought I
would go and see my father. Then I
decided to write, and I wrote. I didn't
