Mmmsot 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!" "Your ly on the responded Pollexfen-. "You are com ing too close. Do you hear?" He ad vanced his revolver an Inch or two. And the muxxle of the revolver, In the confined space of the cabin, was Indeed so near to Philip that almost 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 ed what your fate was to be. I thought It would Interest you to hear certain details known only to me, and It ap pears that I was not mistaken. I also, as I told you at the beginning of our Interview, felt the need of talking frankly to some one. A msn such as I Is apt to lead a somewhat solitary H, "i can believe It," said Philip suc cinctly.

"And mental soli tude la apt to get on one’s nerves. Our little chat has really done me a great deal of good. To return, however, to yourself. Now, Just as I performed a service to Captain Pollexfen, so I shall be performing a service to you. You are alone In the world. You've nobody depending upon you. Your sole fortune consists of two hundred-pound notes which you can't possibly negotiate. You have no profession. You have no ca reer. You are not the sort of man who succeeds In England. Either you ought to have been born a millionaire and become a M. F. H. In some remote county, or you ought to have emigrat ed to Canada. Your life would be de ctdedly a failure. You would gradually lose your Illusions and your hair, and grow Into a dissatisfied person. In an other thirty years you would have de veloped Into one of those tedious, aged frequenters of clubs who go about grumbling that things are not what they once were and that the end of the world la at hand. And your acquaint ances would be waiting with suppress ed expectant Joy for news of your fu neral. A nice prospect, truly! Upon my soul I was regrafting your Imme dlate decease n few moments ago. regret It no longer. Only your ene mies could wish you to live.” "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 Mrs' to you. to use your own pbraee. But you will suffer the minimum of In convenience.” 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.” Say* ths tlms has arrived when all men should only work sight hours.

"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.

Either now or In the fu ture. Also that you won’t leave this yacht without my permission.” 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. ’’Now, mind,” Pollexfen warned him. "Think well over what you are promis ing.
