"It contains a mixture of the smallest shot available for the uses of his existence he was at first aware of nothing ex cept a feeling of fatigue and petulance, •t seemed to him that he was like a cross and sickly child who had a com prehensive quarrel with the universe. Then he began to notice other Interest ing things, as that he was lying on his back on some soft substance, and that there was a small circle of faint ra diance In front of him to his right. He tried lazily to move his arijis, and he could not; then his legs, and he could not. Then he renewed the attempt with increased force, still without result. This made him angry. He struggled hard, was conscious of pain in his ankles and wrists, and muttered; "I'm tied down.” Thenceforward his memory recovered very rapidly. He recalled all that had passed up to the moment of descending the companion. He put two and two ingeniously together, despite a wander- Ing pain in his head. The thought tifle discovery that classifies and ex- tains a whole series of differing facts; “Uncle Pollexfen's at the bottom of 11s." And shortly afterward he said aloud: V'Well, I'm dashed!" His eyes had grown accustomed to >m, and he gradually perceived was In a cabin, and that the if faint light was a porthole, ight of Mary Pollexfen, far off her London, with Intense and onderful "copy” which he was to rovlde. From time to time he made efforts to ■ee his limbs, In vain. He heard a key turn in a lock. The lor of the cabin opened. A lighted latch came Into the cabin, followed by man. Philip's eyes blinked. The Cotton street, the Philip made no sign, though his brain veil In a crisis. He had fully "llm!" he murmured, rather In the yle of a doctor. Then he picked up a black bonnet which was lying near, put It on, gave a twist to his mouth and winked. The sudden resemblance to Mrs. Upottery was too remarkable to leave any doubt In Philip’s mind. He was bound and helpless in the presence of Walter Pol lexfen, that protean being who, hith' erto unrecognized In his proper per. son. dominated the extraordinary drama of the Corner House. "Thanks for the three half-crowns, managed It somewhat better this time,” said the man softly. "What?" Philip curtly asked. It struck him that the man had changed completely. He now spoke with a high ly cultivated accent in a tone that was even more than pleasant. If Indeed he was Mary’s uncle, Mary's lovely voice as not the (Irst of Its sort In her family. The insensibility business,” answer ed the man. "A few days ago I thought my hand hud lost its cunning, it needs a blow of Just sufficient strength, neither too strong nor too feeble, in Just the right place." "Are you Walter Pollexfen?" Philip asked, Ignoring these observations. "Mr. Masters," said the man, "I have come to satisfy your legitimate curi osity. I am Walter Pollexfen. Wr have had the pleasure of meeting sev eral times already." He Smiled vaguely. I wish you'd unfasten these ropes, Philip said. "You’ve not been quite nice to me, you know." Mr. Pollexfen responded. 'There Is „ French proverb about the lndiscre tion of putting one's finger between the tree and its bark. You committed that indiscretion. It Is ridiculous to gird against the consequences of hav ing flown in the face of a proverb, my dear sir. However, I am willing to release you. First, let me direct your attention to this revolver, and this knife." He drew Philip's revolver and Philip's penknife from his own pock ets. "I will release your legs first, then your left arm and then your right. Having done that, I shall retreat rapid ly to the opposite corner of the cabin, and if you move off the bunk you will be translated direct to heaven.

Having re flected upon Pollexfen's previous ex- nlolts and upon the kind of person that the hero of them must necessarily be he decided that in all the clrcum- stances It would be better to await CV "Perhans" he ventured, stretching and twisting his legs and rubbing hi* wrists, "you'll explain what s ,h ® "jean- "Certainly” i n *wlll tei. you" repUed Pollexfen "Have I not said that I P "here to satisfy your legitimate cu- ,V.. as for the present scene, It fi ty fact A rather like a theatrical dls- »" You see I'm a theatrical person ^i i Krg%:; > s s onr.m., , ,^ , n^ FZ EM 1 !q.* h ,urprises me jTWfiir when”one"haVmurtered P&’S'S, 1 sssSuriK-r. 1 »h*r I only meant to stun him. m5 ‘ br t „. . htt too hard—and there , l N n . h S P d P chan w as. i«d at my feet." < "What did you hit him with.' and silver sand.

I daresay you feel a slight soreness at the back of your neck." "I do." "Just so. I can assure you I was very awkwardly placed with my broth er's corpse. No doubt every one thought the affair a miracle of prear rangement. It wasn't. But If I am not equal to emergencies I am nothing. I never embark oh any difficult enter prise without a ladder of silk rope. I changed Into male attire. Then I de scended by means of that ladder from my brother’s room Into Little Glrdlers alley, and I reconnottered. The watch man was my first annoyance. I chat ted with him and found out all about his domestic affairs. I then went up Into Holburn, discovered a naughty boy at a coffee stall in Theobald’s road and persuaded him that there was an excellent practical Joke to be played that watchman. The Joke worked to perfection, except that you came along and spoiled the desired effect. How ever, you went to sleep. Then I wanted a spade. There was a spade propped up against your cabin. I adopted It. I dug a neat thing in graves. Then I climbed back to my brother’s room, and lowered him gently to the ground and followed after, As soon as he was bur led I put the spade back, and revisited the trench Just as that Idiot of a po liceman came up. I was back in the house In no time. The affair seemed rather distinguished both In con ception and In execution. What do you fl»»nk?" The man spoke In such easy unaf fected tones that Philip, do what he could, could not retain the ordinary hu man attitude toward what could only be called, If English words were to re tain their common meaning, a dastard- ■ ly crime. "I think you succeeded by mere chance," he said coldly and nonchalant ly. Sweat broke out on his brow^and he knew It not. "You do not express yourself accu rately,” Pollfexen protested. "You mean, or you ought to mean, that I succeeded by masterly use of chance." It’s all very well to say that the af fair was nn accident,” said Philip, have my own Ideas about that." "You doubt me, my dear sir?” Pol lexfen seemed surprised and hurt. "If It was an accident how came you to drug young Meredith on the very night that the accident occurred”** "Oh!” exclaimed Pollexfen, ”1 see what you are running your head against. That was quite another mat ter. I did not understand young Mere dith, as you call that charming person. But I had my ausplcins. Young Mere dith had behaved for several days In way that I did not at all care for. f I determined to investigate the case of young Meredith, and for that purpose I caused a drug to be employed. How ever, I was so fully occupied during the night that I had no opportunity to profit by the effect of the drug till morning and even then I was hurried, Still, I accomplished enough." "You accomplished too much," Philip replied. How so. You lifted the blind of Meredith’s rooni at a moment when I was watch ing from the street. It was Just that that started me In my investigation." "Then I certainly accomplished too much—for your ultimate welfare, Mr. Masters." He appeared to reflect. "Nevertheless the fact remains both Interesting and trtstructlve. 1 ought not to have given way to my curiosity so far as to lift that blind. Did I lift It In a peculiar manner?" "You lifted as a man who has killed his own brother might have been ex pected to lift it," Philip answered coldly. And he thought: "My ultimate welfare! What the deuce does he mean?" "Excellent young man," said Pollex fen, waving the revolver with a didac tic gesture. "As a philosopher you have already attained to no mean pro ficiency. But you have something to learn. That absurd conventional em- He w'as about to voyage In an enter prise in which he would assuredly have I failed. He would have lost all his mbney in It. His last day w'ould have been unspeakably sad. An accident—| my clumsiness—saved him all that. And you ftould like to see me hanged I for what I did! You astound me. : shock me. Let me tell you—’’ Pollexfen broke off suddenly, throb went through the vessel. It was] the beat of the engines. "What In the name of Lucifer!" he| burst out, evidently startled. Keeping the musale of the revolver I In Philip’s direction, he moved cau- 1 tlously but quickly to the door and opened it. "Don’t try any games," he warned the prisoner, with a menaelnsr accent, and went out and shut and locked the door. The beat of the engines ceased. Philip leaped from the bunk, making straight for the port hole. With diffi culty he unscrewed Its fastening and opened It and looked forth. The load ing of the other steamer was now fin ished and not a soul was on the wharf. He called In a low voice; he dared not make much noise; there answer. Below him lay a broad, flat- bottomed pair-oar. It was moored to the wharf and it was swaying to and fro; its painter alternately fell into the water and rose dripping; and the sound of hundreds of drops pattering on the black surface of the river each time the painter rose was strangely clear and uncanny In the night. A notion came to Philip. He examined hi* pockets. They had been emptied. He searched the cabin for suitable material, and found noth ing but a salver that w'as reared up on the top of the mahogany erection by the bunk. He opened the mahog any erection, which In a space of three cubic feet contained with Its drawers and apertures and taps and basins nod hooks the conveniences of an tire house. He cursed, as philosophers ill In their moments of frustration. And then, while staring at the inte rior of an empty drawer (lined with newspapers) he perceived that the screw of the brass knob projected through the front of the drawer and was secured on the Inside by a nut. He detached the knob, and with the sharp screw-end of It he began scratch a message on the salver, was Interrupted by a knock at the door. He rushed again to the port hole and tried to nut the salver throu But as its circumference was gi than the circumference of the port I hole, Immutable Euclid was against him. In a frenzy of rage he bent the salver across his knee. It would Just slip through the hole. He let It fall Into the boat, and It descended softly] on to the neatly colled tiller ropes. The knock wan repeated. Making no answer Philip rapidly fastened the port hole. "I say!" The voice was Pollexfen’s. ‘Are you lying on the bunk?” "No, I'm not.” "Well, kindly He down on the bunk. I’m coming In.” Philip obeyed. By stretching out his hand he could screw the knob home In Its drawer. "I’m on the bunk,” said he. "Well, on the whole I shan’t trust you.” There was silence. Then Philip heard the boring of an Instrument In the door, and presently an inch-wide gouge came through at the height of a man’s eye and was withdrawn. An eye took the place of the gouge, and roved over the cabin. 'When I say I’m on the bunk I’m on the bunk," Philip observed. So I %ee." answered Pollexfen. "But I preferred to see." He re-entered, making prominent the revolver. 'To resume,” he said. (Continued In Tomorrow’s Georgian.) $11,800 IN PRIZES FREE TO LUCKY WINNERS.

The asphalt pavement of the viaduct was almost like glaas and It was Impossible for the mule to rise, even after he had been unhitched from the wagon, and the harness removed.
