THE STOLEN PHOIX, A ROMANCE OF LOVE, INVENTION, AND A GREAT CITY, By R. NORMAN SILVER, Author of Hate, the Destroyer," "A Daughter of Mystery," &c. 4 I CHAPTER XXI I,- Continued, I I A CaH in the Dusk. I A deep sigh was the tmder-foreman's answer. You argue well, sir," he owned, if a bit over my head. But it's no use converting me. I'm not Sybil, and she's made up her mind. Not but what I must confess, sir. ehe seems to have had some-some sort of assistance." And Cuthbert Hope uttered the last sentence with a singular dryness. You mean," said Temple sombrely, that she did not write me that letter unprompted? I-thought as much." Not that Sybil would tell me a great deal," pursued the under-foreman; "but yesterday I got back to lunch, and found her as white as a sheet, crying on yon sofa, corner, and a visitor here—a lady with a heavy veil on, and a smart black cloak and hat. If my eyes didn't deceive me, she was the same that came once to see Mr. Blair. I'll be shot if I can make head or tail of it, Mr. Temple; but the end of it has been that Sybil packed up a few things and went away to an aunt's in the country. Cissie and I have just been seeing her off." An Temple grew pale. Ske has lost no time," he muttered, rather resentfully. Hope," he said, you must tell me where she is. She is my bethrothed;' I will not give her up thus, though my-my friends may seek to meddle with my purposes. At last, by a singular stroke of fate, I am placed in a position to marry. To-morrow I shall be the possessor of ten thousand pounds. Sybil must dismiss her foolish fancies, and think only of her trousseau." Cuthbert Hope gasped. Ten thousand pounds," he repeated; it's a lot of money. Two young folks could be rare and comfortable on it. And you're main fond of her, Mr. Temple, I can see that. I doubt I was wise to promise." "To—to promise what?" queried the lieutenant; the other's tone vaguely alarmed him. That you shouldn't learn where she was," said the under-foreman, twisting his pipe-stem uneasily. She made both Narcissa and I promise," Temple started up. Hope," he cried, it was cruel, cruel! You must not keep such a pledge. My word is my bond," responded Cuthbert Hope; but he glanced down despondently as he said it. The lieutenant looked about him irresolutely. The quaint dwelling seemed to have become all at once repellant, desolate. The thought that she was no longer under its roof- gtew unbearable. Then I must find her unaided," he said. as for"—ho haJted on the verge of an indiscretion; he had been about to pronounce Valerie's name—"the mischief-maker," he con- tinued, I will reckon with her at an earlier date than she imagines." You'll—you'll not do anything reckless, sir," urged the under-foreman. Allan Temple gained the threshold of the cottage at a. stride; the air in the room was stifling him. No," he said, not reckless, only just. Good-night, Hope! I am sorry to have dealt disingenuously with you over my ill-starred courtship. However, I am punished, as you see. He put on his hat and stepped haatily into the porch between the dangling creepers that swung across the doorway. As he passed down the garden-path, a footstep sounded at his back. He turned and saw, by the glow cast from the window, the tear-stained faoe of Narcissa. Mr. Temple," she faltered, I've some- thing for you!" and with a tragic gulp of unwept grief, she laid in his palm a tiny packet. It's her ring," added the little typist, and, oh, Mr. Temple, don't be too awfully miserable!" Allan Temple took the sealed and folded envelope. He could feel the dainty circlet within it, and a pang struck him as he realised how far away was the tender hand that had worn that small jewelled hoop. It's a bitter blow, Miss Hope," he said. If-if I could only see her for a moment!" Narcissa shook her head. "A promise is a promise," she sighed; "but I didn't say anything about not sending on letters, supposing they came." Temple gazed at her for a second, gathering the significance of the declaration. Miss Hope," he cried-" Narcissa, you're a brick! You'll let Sybil have a letter from me! I'll be off and write one this very night; you will get it in the morning. She must- she shall come back to me." The little typist frowned thoughtfully. Sybil can be as set in her way as a stone wall," she warned him; and that woman who saw her yesterday-" Yes?" said Temple, for Narcissa had hesitated, as if seeking for some adequate expression. The girl showed her teeth in a. flash of feminine anger. "Was a cat!" she snapped. And having delivered herself of this emphatic opinion, Narcissa darted into the Crow's Nest and ehat the door. CHAPTER XXIII. I The End of the Corner. I I'll bet you five pounds I do it. Lord 'Linacre! If you like, I'll give you odds-ten to one in sovs. Come, is it a bet?" Oswald Ransom paused under the powerful glow of the shaded lamps in the peer's billiard- room, his cue resting in the Greek cross of the long jigger whose base he was supporting at an acute angle. Before him wai a delicate situation; the red ball lay awkwardly by a middle pocket, screened annoyingly from his ball by his opponent's. There was an opportunity for a brilliant, though difficult, cushion cannon. Lord Linacre smiled as he regarded the shirt-sleeved figure of the challenger. "I don't want your money, my lad," he said; "look at your hand." The draughtsman glanced at his fingers which ield the butt of the cue. They were trembling palpably. His flushed face took on a deeper tint of hot scarlet. That's your old cognac on top of cham- pagne," he said, trying to laugh. But you're right, I*couldn't 4o 4jt ?!11 take the safer shot. He put away the rest, and contented himself with a series of nursery cannons. Lord Linacre marked for him indolently, and the draughtsman ran out an easy winner. The peer sat down on the raised lounge by the table while the victor put on his dress aottt. There was a striking difformnes between the cool elegance of the man of the world and the clumsy exhilaration of Oswald Ransom. Lord Linacre stroked his cropped gimwj beard. Isay, Ransom," he observed thoughtfully, anything been worrying you lately?" The draughtsman looked up from adjusting his cuffs. "N—no," he answered; why—why 48 you ask?" Nothing," confessed the peer. -Only you have seemed a bit hipped. I wondered if Valerie was in one of her capricious moods." There was an odd sound in the sigh that preceded Ransom's response—a sound of relief. Perhaps she is," he owned, I don't find it a simple matter to arrive at an understand- ing with her. Lord Linacre." Linacre nodded. Uncertainty may be a feminine charm," he commented, yet it can become a trifle wearing. However, don't let it trouble you overmuch. I—I would undertake to answer for her, if only she could think it prudent to accept you. Yon know how heavily I am involved, and talerie has certainly not enough to set up house on. Sir Daniel anffht —he really ought-to come to your assist- ance." Ransom frowned. I begin to wonder," he said, whether the chief isn't commencing to break up at last. He is frailer by years than he was a. month ago." "Ah, Lady Goulder's illness!" concluded the peer; they might go off together, but would that help you? Are you pleasantly remembered in your uncle's will?" Dashed if I know!" said the draughtsman. Sir Daniel keeps his own counsel. But isn't, there something in the Phoenix? Your influ- ence with the Admiralty might hurry them up. She should be ready for inspection in a. day or two. I had her out this morning, and she behaved excellently. Ionly want to trim her a. bit better." Lord Linacre folded his arms and chuckled. My influence with the Admiralty," he re- torted, "is a matter of Parliamentary criticism and newspaper paragraphs. I have precious little except the power to drop a few words now and again to officials who belong to my clubs, and think it just as well to be civil to me. And that reminds me, I've done Temple a turn he won't thank me for. I told the most inveterate gossips in the Service clubs that our experiments were well over a month back, and that Temple was enjoying a holiday. I guess that will have consequences to Temple." The peer laughed again discordantly. Oswald Ransom rolled a ball across the, table. About that other matter," he said; have, ydu heard from T. yet?" An expression of brutal humour wrinkled Lord Linacre's astute oountenance. "Not yet," he answered; "but the explo- sion will have taken place. I am waiting the echo." As he spoke the handle of the door near him whined, and a servant appeared. "Lieutenant Temple!" announced the latter. A rapid glance passed between the peer and the draughtsman. A moment more, and the Ilbject of the intimation had entered the room. The faint gleam of mirth died from Lord Linacres features, and it was with a cold com- posure that he stepped forward to meet the new-comer. The lieutenant a8 no less com- posed, but there was passion beneath his stern self-possession. The peer looked at his watch as the servant withdrew, and raised his eyebrows. "It is late, Mr. Temple," he said haughtily, "for a business call, and I presume—from the nature of our last interview—that this is to be regarded as such." Temple sneered. "I do not marvel at your tone, Lord Lin- acre," he replied; "you comprehend but too well the cause of my visit. It is almost superfluous to show you-this." He slipped a finger and thumb into his vest pocket, and drew out a slip of folded paper and shook it open. It was a cheque for tea thousand pounds, signed "Linacre," made payable to Allan Temple. On the "payee" line, in brackets, was a note "Phoenix Manu- facturing Company." The upper left band edge was endorsed, "Refer to drawer." Lord Linacre shrugged his shoulders. I must pass you on to Mrs. Western," wao his response; "she refused to assent to my lending the amount which I had really, in the beginning, borrowed of her, to the company. I was, therefore, obliged to let the cheque b« dishonoured." The lieutenant put the soiled slip back into his pocket. I have then to give you notice, Lord Linacre," he said; that I resume my owner- ship of the Phoenix. Mr. Ransom, as a 00- director of yours, can take note of my intima- tion." The peer laughed. "You are wrong, my dear Iboy," he answered. "As a seaman you may be efficient; as a lawyer, you are a failure. As a pure formality, you will notice, you signed a receipt which I had drawn up, and, though you thoughtfully *ided the words by cheque,' you probably md not observe that the company's name waa not mentioned in it. For twenty-four hours I was ipse facto the owner of the boat, and transferred her—again as a pure formality—to v the company, in consideration for a further allotment of shares, of which some thousands, you may recollect, were lying at the disposal of the directors." Lord Linacre made a conclusive gesture. "Now," he continued, "as you hold a. dis- honoured cheque signed by me, you can pro- ceed to sue on it, in which case I should re- luctantly be compelled to place myself under the fatherly care of the Official Receiver. What your cheque would be worth at the end of the realisation I leave you to guess. But the Phoenix will not be among the assets that he will have to deal with; she is the property of the company, and under the circumstances, you have no claim whatever against them." Temple's jaw set fiercely. "You wretched trick*ter! he said. "Sothis is what you played for, is it? Galled, cheated, befooled, robbed of my chance with the Government, plundered of everything but my contingent royalties (pretty contingent in a company under your thumb!), do you think I can yet be entirely despised because I hap- jj pen to be an honest man? You admit that I I have the power to break you; very well, you shall be broken!" "I hope prou have fifty pounds to waste, then," he was told languidly. "It will cost you about tha.t to get a bankruptcy order, for, on second thoughts, I shall not file my petition until you get as far with your saing as a threatened committal." (To be OontimiedJ
