CHAPTER XXII.
TH# Compact.
•'What are you leading up to?” Philip
aaked. "That', what I want to know.”
"To resume," said Pollexfen, Ignor
ing this definite question. 'T got the
Information that I required out of the
late captain’s pockets. It was quit,
as good as I sxpected, and It quite con
firmed my view that he could not have
used It succesafully himself. I now
had various matters to attend to all
at once. I had to pretend to be III,
for reasons of discretion. And your
unfortunate discovery made of that
tooth out ot my comb made It necessary
for me to appear at the Inquest. I
think my appearance at the Inquest
was rather maaterly, don’t you, Mr.
Masters? In the pleasure It gave m#
It rivaled my finest triumphs at the
Britannia, Hoxton and Ford'a opera
house In Denver. It was, not to ex
aggerate, Immense. You may be Inter-
eated to know that the captain knew
who I was before he died. I had an
Interview with him In h|g room, etormy.
In fact, pugilistic. The comb must have
got broken then. I had meant simply
to steal the few trifling documents that
I needed, but I failed In that. The cap
tain was too suspicious; hence the ulti
mate altercation. Of course. It ended
badly for the captain. Then, besides,
baring to pretend to be III and to go
to the Inquest and to superintend his
funeral, I had my marine arrangements
to perfect and complete. And then,
to worry me still further, I began to
have my doubts about myself; I found
out the Identity of the youth Meredith
—the chit resembles her uncle In cer
tain points of chsracter; and to cap
It all I was compelled to waste precious
time In dealing with Mr. Varcoe.”
Philip gave a start before he could
control himself.
“I see I am beginning to excite you
now,” Pollexfen observed, with an
agreeable and Ironic smite. "Admit
It."
Masters was conscious of a feeling
hardly to be differentiated from terror.
And yet Pollexfen talked so easily, so
naturally, with such an undeniable
charm of manner, that his listener could
senreely comprehend his own mental
disturbance.
"Where Is Varcoe?" he demanded, In
a nervous voice.
"Let me see,” Pollexfen said reflect
ively. "Today Is Monday. This makes
the third day. Yes. ... All London
will know tonight where Varcoe Is. Mr.
Varcoe la a very able man—conceit
ed, over-confldent. but able. He made
all his preparations, and he meant to
strike with a single blow, like Kitch
ener at Omdurman. He was guilty of
only one mistake. He thought I didn't
suspect him. Whereas the contrary
was the case. So that when he entered
my room for the battle of Omdurman
I was waiting behind the door with my
little Instrument, and the battle oc
curred differently. You asked me
where he Is. Well, on the day of my
arrival at the Corner house I was
obliged to And a hiding place for male
attire and other details, and I took
up the floor, loosening the nails' un
der the bed. Nothing Is simpler to a
man who has been In all trades, from
navylng to treasure seeking, Including
naturally that of a carpenter, to ar
range nail-heads where nails have been
way to escape detection, even
under a close scrutiny. I could lift
and replace the planks of the floor
In a moment. I had quite a wardrobe
down there. Behold the reason why
you and your little friend found noth
ing when you feloniously searched my
chamber that night. Don’t deny It—
don’t attempt to deny It—I saw at once
you had been on the prowl.” He
laughed quietly.
"I am not denying It," Philip put In.
"Good! I should havs put the cap
tain under the floor and left London on
the morning after his death; but he
was unhappily too fat. And moreover
hta weight might have sent him through
the celling of the room below, which
would have been awkward! These ob
jections did not apply to the rising
detective, Mr. Varcoe, who was slight
and thin. Hfe Ilea in repose under Ihs
floor of that room, wedged In between
two rafters. His rest will be Interrupt
ed .. . the laws of the decompo
sition of animal matter . . . you
see?” a
"It’s astounding!" Philip burst out
utterly revolted by the detailed confes
sion to which he was obliged to listen,
and which, indeed, fascinated him.
though as a snake la said to fascinate
a' bird.
Yes, Isn't tt?” said Pollexfen with
gentle enthusiasm. “It Is astounding.
When I think of the skill, the presence
of mind, the sheer nerve, which were
required for the whole operation, even
I am ainaxed. I have a certain regret
tn bringing Mr. Varcoe’s career to a
close.. But It Is a purely sentimental
regret, caused by his talents, and some
what unworthy of me. Of course, when
a man becomea a detective, to be killed
Is part of his trade. The risks, If
not as great ns the risks run by a
miner or a hiinter; or a president of
the United States, are considerable.
Detectives know that quite well. It’s
fair. In this particular Instance Mr.
Varcoe wanted to get a person named
Bllltngton to put me to a violent death,
accompanied by every circumstance of
shame. I objected, and the inevitable
outcome of my objection was Mr. Var
coe's own decease. 1—”
"You may Jutk till you’re black In
the face,” Philip Interrupted the doc
tor. "You know what I think. You’ve
simply no regard, for human life at
all.”
Pollexfen gaxed at him. and there
was Just perceptible lowering of the
corner of the lips.
You exaggerate, my young friend,"
said Pollexfen. "I have some regard
for human life, though it waa not un
limited. For example, I have much
more regard for human life than a
ablnet of ministers who meet before
lunch and decide on a war. The last
cabinet that did so killed probably
about ten thousand people per head.
But does It Interfere with their sleep?
Not In the least. What Is the matter
with you, Mr. Masters, If I may say
so, la that you have never thought; you
have never honestly tried to look at
things as they are. Unfortunately It It
now too late.”
Philip said nothing.
"In the entire cbmpllcated affair, af
ter my original clumsiness In making
the captain unconscious permanently
Instead of temporarily. I only made an
error. You may guess what that wasT’
Philip shook his head.
"I bruised my wrist against the win
dow rash In lowering our poor, captain
from the window to the alley. That
was an accident that might have hap
pened to any one. But I ought to have
washed and bandaged my wrist nt
■ nee. And I did not. I merely licked It.
Knowing the danger of finger marks I
i icrely licked It. I was perhaps some-
w hat nervous and hurried and I could
not bring myself to stop In order to
wash and bandage my hand. I did not
observe till my Job was almost accom
plished that the wound had been bleed
ing slightly. A pity, a pity! Never
theless that was my error. And In
stead of being lost In admiration of my
courage, my originality, my skill, my
Inventiveness, my Imagination, you can
find nothing to say except In dispraise.
K , you can not examine a single
ite detail of my actions since I
first determined to have a hand in this
business of the late captain’s without
being struck by my genius. Thus I
went back to the Obelisk hotel as Pol
lexfen after I had taken a room at the
Corner House as Mrs. Upottery, so
that there should be circumstantial evi
dence that Mra. Upottery and Mr. Pol
lexfen exleted separately at the earne
time and could not therefore be the
eame person. And look how I deceived
you. Consider how perfectly, with
what admirable sangfroid, I took you In
at Castle street! And in surreptitious
ly exchanging two of my hundred-
r und notes for two of yours, and did
not Invent an entirely new method
of disposing at full price of bank notes
that the police have put on the Index
Expurgatorlous ? Answer me."
"You did," said Philip obediently.
"It Is a pity about that Anger mark,”
Pollexfen mused aloud. "A pity!"
"Why? You have succeeded.”
"I say It la a pity because I like
you. I don’t know why I like you, but
I do. You are the sort of simple,
straight Englishman that appeals to n
complex person like myself, who owns
no nationality, and who always sees
two sides to a question. If I had not
marked that bit of stone. If you had not
found It, and put It In your bag, If
your bag had not been lost, If Varcoe
had not by accident rediscovered It at
the bottom of the area steps, if he had
not left It In your bed room, If you had
not regained It, and become Infected
with a passion for dactylography—why,
then I should not have before me at
the present Instant a rather unpleasant
prospect."
"What prospect?"
“The prospect of—er—killing you.”
Philip thought he noticed a tremor
in Pollexfen’s voice. He sat up straight
on the bunk.
"What on earth do you want to kill
me for?" he Inquired with splendid
amassment. "You’ve succeeded. You’ve
got clear ott.y Are you possessed by a
lust for blood?”
"I hate blood," said Pollexfen. "Be
sides. there won’t be any. And I don’t
want to kill you. I should much pre
fer not to. But where Is the alterna
tive? I can’t keep you In captivity
And the moment f let you go I am a
lost man—or If not lost, n man In a
highly dangerous predicament. The
ports of the world would be closed
against this yacht Inside half a doxen
hours. And such Is the respect In Eng
land for those two Occidental fetishes,
the sanctity of property and the sanc
tity of the higher forms of animal life,
that the British government would be
capable of sending out a torpedo boat
destroyer to look for me with a few
twelve-pounders. No! It Is said that
the devil employs ths energies of the
Idle, and he has certainly employed
yours. He has ruined your earthly ca
reer, and I repeat, I regret It."
"You can kill me If you like," said
Philip quietly. "But you’re a scoun
drel. And I give myself the pleasure
of telling you so. Yes, sir,” he added,
moving forward and becoming a little
excited. "A scoundrel! Not to say
coward!"

vanced his revolver an Inch or two.
And the muxxle of the revolver, In
the confined space of the cabin, was

Involuntarily Philip slipped back again
on the bunk.
"I did not begin to relate to you my
share In the affair," Pollexfen r^umed
placidly, "until I had definitely resolv

It would Interest you to hear certain

"And how do you mean to kill me?"
Philip asked. .
"I will not tell you," said Pollexfen
"If I told you, I should not be ‘quite

But you will suffer the minimum of In

Look here.” Philip fronted him.
leaning on dne elbow. "You've played
a goodlsh few comedies this last week.
Are you playing one now?"
"I am not," said Pollexfen simply.
And Philip was convinced that Pol
lexfen was not playing a comedy. Dur
ing the previous hour he had gained
some Insight Into ths man's personality.
He had got accustomed to the seduc
tion of hie voice, and to the strange
ness of hfs sentiments. He had begun
to admire Pollexfen. Singular phe
nomenon and a remarkable tribute to
Philip's Impartiality—he admired him
because the fellow had all the courage
of hla amaxlng character. He was not
aehsmed of hie Instincts. He did not
seek to call things by their wrong
names. He never for a moment pre
tended that self-interest was not his
sole guide In this sublunary existence.
Yes, Philip admired
him. * But at the same time Philip did
not precisely see himself dead. The
tremendous and passionate Instinct of
relf-preservatlon gradually assumed
dominion of hla brain and he began to
assesa the situation, tn search for ways
of escape, to calculate hts chances.
The vision of Mary Pollexfen rose
before him, and as that Image gained
clearness In his mind an anger against
Walter Pollexfen—an anger which no
mere virtuous Indignation had been
able to excite—soother and boiled with
in him. Waa he to be cut off from
Mary Pollexfen? The mere Idea of such
a possibility wts grotesque. It was ri
diculous! It wss Inconcelvabls! Why!
He and Mary Pollexfen had become In
timate! Only a few hours since, and
she was dining with him and she had
decided to trust him, to rely on him.
And after that he was to disappear
off the face of the earth according to
the whim of a Walter Pollexfen? A
woman waited for him, and should she
wait !n vain? A wave of supreme and
Ineffable tenderness swept over him as
he -recalled the tone In which Mary had
said, speaking of the false hair;
hope you don’t mind.” He could hear
her voice as he lay there In the cabin
under the Implacable watchfulness of
Walter Pollexfen. And that spiritual
echo brought ths tsars up to hts eyes.
He felt In the profnundeat depth of
hie heart that there waa only one thing
worth living for. And ha
had found that thing! And Pollexfen
meant to kill him!
"Life le strange," he; thought. .
In obedience to what secret end of
what secret power he had, hitherto a
traveler through the absolutely com
monplace, been deflected from hla
course Into this bliss of passion and
this danger of death? He could not
answer. But he could say, with the
blind and magnificent enthusiasm of
hla humanity, that ths bliss of passion
outweighed the danger of death. And
that had he the last week to live again,
nothing would Induce him to forego
those hours with Mary Pollexfen.
His gaxe met Pollexfen’s. Should he
rush at him and take the chance of not
being killed or seriously hurt by the
revolver? No. That would not be
worth while. Pollexfen would not Ira
the kind of man to run the slightest
risk In such a situation. And doubt
less he could shoot as well as he
could use the spade nr act the part of a
woman or Invent Interesting evidence
at an Inquest. The only thing to do
was to watt, with k lynx's eye, for any
development which he might turn to
his own favor. • • • And then the
Idea of waiting chilled him. chilled hie
Inmost heart, stifled the mad hopes In
his throbbing brain. The fact was, he
wae doomed. He could do nothing. To
make a formal protest would be farcical
and nothing more. Should he make an
appeal tn Pollexfen, an appeal
mlaerlcordlam?” Such was Philip's
menial constitution that not even to
win Mary could he have persuaded
himself to that. He waa vaatly more
Inclined to spit out at Pollexfen his
ferocious disgust.
"I must say you take It very calmly,"
Pollexfen observed at length.
"Do r?” said Philip, scornfully. "If
you were an honest man you would
at any rate"-—
"Stop n minute," Pollexfen Interrupt
ed him. "What Is an honest man? Do
you call yourself an honest man?"
"Certainly.” Philip replied. ”1 have
never been a thief, much less a mur
derer, and I have never cheated and
never broken my word.”

"Really!" was Pnllexfen’s comment.
“Well, I suppose that’s an Ideal, like
any other Ideal. But I would honestly
like to know how far your honesty
would carry you. 1 havs a good mind
to make the experiment.”
•What do you mean?"
-I will give you your life In exchange
for your word.”
"My word?” Philip questioned. And
he had a curious feeling In the small
of his back.

either directly or Indirectly help to

"That I won’t give you away to the

“Precisely. Either now or In the fu

Philip pondered, thinking of Mary
Pollexfen and life, and love, and the
bright world. He thought a long tlm«
-several minutes.
"It’s a bargain," he murmured.
