H 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 faflht ra diance in front of him to his right. He tried lazily to move his arms, 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 flashed through his brain like a scien tific discovery that classifies and ex plains a whole series of differing facts: “Uncle Pollexfen’s at the bottom of this.” And shortly afterward he said aloud: “Well, I’m dashed!"

From time to time he made efforts to ree his limbs, In vain. He heard a key turn In a lock. The oor of the cabin opened. A lighted tatch came Into the cabin, followed by man. Philip’s eyes blinked. The ed It on the floor and e the prisoner. Tt was 7 Cotton street, the Philip made no sign, though his brain veil In a crisis. He had fully "Hm!" he murmured, rather In the tyle of a doctor. Then he picked' up a black bonnet ■filch 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, hlth erto unrecognized In his proper per son, dominated the extraordinary drama of the Corner House. “Thanks for the three half-crowns. I managed it somewhat better this time,” said the man softly. “Whatr* 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 was not the first of its sort in her family. “The Insensibility business,” answer ed the man. “A few days ago I thought my hand had lost lta cunning. It needs a blow of Ju*t sufficient strength, neither too strong nor too feeble. In Just the right place.” \ “Are you Walter Pollexfen T* Philip asked, Ignoring these observations. “Mr. Masters,” said the man, “I have come to satisfy your legitimate curi osity. I am Walter Pollexfen. We have had the pleasure of meeting *ev 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 on 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 Oirdlers alley, and I reconnoltered. 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 k 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 on 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 He was about to voyage In an enter prise in which he wou'd assuredly have failed. He would have lost all his money In It. His last day would have been unspeakably sad. An accident— my clumsiness—saved him all that. And you would like to see me hanged for what I did! You astound me. You shodk me. Let me tell you—’’ Pollexfen broke off suddenly. A throb went through the vessel. It was the beat of the engines. "U'haf In ths* nnm« n What In the name of Lucifer! 1 burst out, evidently startled. Keeping the muxsle of the revolver followed after Ae eoon as he avae hur led I put the spade bark, and revisited the trench Just as that Idiot of a po liceman came up. I waa hark In the house In no time. The affair aeemed to me rather distinguished both In con ception and In execution. What do you think?" The man spoke In such easy unaf fected tones that Philip, do what he could, could not retain the ordjnary 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 succeeded by masterly use of chance.” "It'e all very well to say that the af fair was an accident," said Philip. "I 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. "I see hat you are running your head against. That was quite another mat ter. 1 did not understand young Mere dith, as you call that charming person. Hut I had my suspiclns. Young Mere dith had behaved for eeveral days In a way that I did not at all care for. So I determined to Investigate the caee of young Meredith, and for that purpoee I caused a drug to be employed. How ever, I was ao fully occupied during the night that I had no opportunity to profit by the effect of the drug till morning and even then I wae hurried. Still, 1 accomplished enough." "You accomplished too much," Philip replied. How so?" You lifted the blind of Meredith's room at a moment when I was watch ing from the street. It was Just that eral times already." I vaguely. ou'd unfaeten these ropes,” Philip said. "You've not been quite nice to me, you know." Mr. Pollexfen responded. “There Is a French proverb about the Indiscre tion of putting one's linger 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 hie own pock ets. "I will release your legs first, tlwn 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. I men tion Ibis because I have an objection to your Jiu-Jitsu tricks. It was a la mentable fault In my program that while I was In Yokohama I neglected to study Jiu-Jitsu myself. Do you under- etand what I have eald?' Perfectly," said Philip. Go ahead. Your manners please me. Pollexfen remarked as he cut the cord. _ "I can't return the compliment, said Ph In 1P another moment he was fret, while Pollexfen stood at the opposite end of the cabin, the revolver In one hand and the penknife In the other. He wondered whether It would be better to make a dash at the scoundrel In stantly, or to await events. Having re flected upon Pollexfen s previous ex ploits, and upon the kind of person that the hero of them must neeessarllj be7 he decided that in all the circum stances It would be better to await e '"Perhape," he ventured, stretching and twisting his legs and ruhblng hls wrists, "you'll explain what a the mean ing of this foolery with me.

Then I certainly accomplished too much—for your ultimate welfare, Mr. Masters.” He appeared to reflect. "Nevertheless the fact remains both Interesting and Instructive. I 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. "Ae a philosopher you have already attained to no mean pro ficiency. But you have something to learn. That absurd conventional em phasis which you put on the phrase ■own brother' convinces me that you have something to learn. One does not choose one’s relatives. Forgive this platitude. But one does not. One owes nothing to one's brother. One's brother Is a mere hazard of life—of no logical consequence whatever. My brother was one man. I was another. Hence fratri cide Is no worse and no better (save In exceptional Instances) than ordi nary homicide. In truth. Just as there Is no Allah but AJIah. so there Is no homicide hut homicide. In the pecul iar examplo of homicide now before ue I did a kindness to my brother. I claim no virtue for that—It was an ac cident. My brother was old, feeble, embittered. He had no friends. He had quarreled with even his daughter. In Philips direction, he moved cau tiously but quickly to the door and opened It. ■'Don't try any games." he warned the prisoner, with a menacing accent, and went out and shut and locked the door. The beat of the englnee 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 wae now fin ished and not a aoul was on the wharf. He called In a low voice; he dared not make much noise; there was no 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 patterln on the black surface of the river eac time tht painter rose waa strangely clear and uncanny In the night. A notion came to Philip. He examined his pockets. They had been emptied. He searched the cabin for suitable material, and found noth ing but a salver that was 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 laps and basins and hooks the conveniences of an en tire house. He cursed, as philosophers will 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 to ecratch a message on the salver. He was Interrupted by a knock at the door. He rushed again to the port hole and tried to put the salver through It. But as Its circumference was greater than the circumference of the port 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 tn the neatly colled tiller ropee. The knock wu repeated. Making no answer Philip rapidly fastened the port hole. “I say!" The voice waa Pnllexfen’s. 'Are you lying on the bunk?" "No. I'm not.” "Well, kindly Me down on the bunk. I'm coming In.” Philip obeyed. By etretchlng out his hand he could screw the knob home In Its drawer. Tm 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 see." answered Pollexfen. “But I preferred to see.” He re-entered, making prominent the revolver. "To resume," he said. (Continued In Tomorrow's Oeorglan.) JOHN L.
