THE STOLEN PHIENIX, A ROMANCE OF LOVE, INVENTION, AND A GREAT CITY, By R. NORMAN SILVER, Author of H Hate, the Destroyer, "A Daughter of Mystery," Ac. CHAPTER XXIII.—Continued, 1 The End of the Corner. I Allan Temple clenched his fists in a. des- perate struggle for calm. "Do you think I will take your law for granted?" he cried. "You shall fight me, Lord Linacre! I will have your villainous duplicity laid bare to the public eye. I will pillory you in the press and before your fellow-legislators; you shall be hounded out of the society of all honourable men!" A yawn was Lord Linarre's comment on this outburst. "To work, my hero!" he said theatrically; "to work! You will need a long purse, and a deal of time and patience. Remember, too, you are biting the hand that fed you. I in- troduced your patents to expert authorities; I obtained money for your experiments; I have acted throughout for the best. And now that, by an error of judgment, I find myself in debt-nominally in debt to you for a sum I cannot imnvediately raise—what do you do? You fly to the law and ruin me. Oh, no, Mr. Allan Temple! it is you who will be con- demned by public opinion, not I," He leaned indolently upon the shoulder of Oswald Ran- som. My daughter," he said, will, I sup- pose, have to give evidence, and so will poor Ransom here. It may even have to be hinted that you had presumed upon my child's gene- rous interest in her youlfg countryman to attempt to rival in her affections your own colleague, whose brilliant invention actually saved your boat from failure. How do you like my picture, Mr. Temple?" The lieutenant brushed his hand across his eyes; he felt as if he were choking-a red veil seemed to have fallen before his vision. I "I-I," he gmped-"I must think it out! It is horrible! You speak like an inspired fiend with power over the truth itself. If I believed you, Lord Linacre, I should want to kill you. I will go while I am guiltless of violence. As for Ransom, he has not to reckon with me, but with another. Ask him who invented the rudder he calls his; ask him who tried to burn the Phcenix in her dock, and why the attempt was made; ask him whom he has most cause to fear in the whole world-" There was a movement behind him, at the tall folding-doors, from which a few steps led to a lighted reception-room. The great panels yawned, and white-armed, white-throated, with diamonds in her hair, and sweeping skirts of pale green, Valerie Western herself appeared. "Are you never going to finish your game?" she began. "My letters are done long ago." She stopped, perceiving Temple's presence. He himself bent upon her a look of bitter disdain, and completed the sentence she had interrupted. "Ask him," he said; ";Ly, and ask your daughter, Lord Linacre, why she visits this very man in secret, and by doing so finds means to spy upon me, and glut an un- womanly thirst for revenge? Ask her what she knows ot Martin Blair?" Valerie Western set her teeth and snarled— her sneer of mingled: anger and alarm was nothing less. Oswald Ransom put a. heavy palm on a corner of the billiard-table, and his skin blanched with a strange, moist pallor, As for Lord Linacre, he glanced curiously from one to the other; while Allan Temple, having shot his bolt, made blindly for the door by which he had entered, and passed forth, leaving the trio alone Dazed by the cynical climax of Lord Lin- acre's diplomacy, which had deprived him so effectively of the Phcenix, and of his control over her, Allan Temple made mechanically for his hotel, and mounted the steep and winding staircase. He had an overpowering desire for solitude- not that he might think, not that he might plan the necessary attack upon his enemy, but that he might lie numb and passive till his mind should have accustomed itself to the shock it had received. From the hall the waiter Pimm followed him with a flimsy brown envelope. "Mrs. Flemank's compliments, sir," he said; "and there is this for you." Temple thanked him vaguely, and tore open the telegram. It was from the Admiralty, and ran: "Antaeus to commission Portsmouth for Mediterranean. Rejoin at once." CHAPTER XXIV. I The Glow on the River Bank. I "Evening, sir! Quiet weather for the Scour." The words served as a kind of full stop to the monotonous creeking made by a pair of stout sculls in the thole-pins of Jason Ma< goldrick's gig. The little craft lost way, and began to roll upon the sticky swell of the Scour estuary. I The owner of the Pride of Carhaven had taken the butts of his sculls in one hand that he might touch his peaked cap to Oswald Ransom. A blade of the draughtsman's long oars almost grazed the counter of the gig as he sat in his outrigger. He wore a thick sweater," and his coat was tied about his I neck by the sleeves; although there was no wind, the air on the river was keen with the keenness of autumn, and a fine rain descended intermittently. Y—yes," said Ransom, starting from the reverie by which he had been absorbed during the approach of the gig. Jason wiped off his ragged moustache, and spat over the gunwale of his boat. I reckon," he remarked, you was wonder- ing what yon hoarding might mean," and the speaker pointed towards the neighbouring bank. Upon it, amid the familar ruins of the disused and roofless foundry, had risen a rectangular enclosure of fresh-looking, up- right planks. Its nearest side closely skirted the foreshore. I—I suppose I was," owned the draughts- man. Let me see, you are Macgoldrick, the fellow who came to Sir Daniel Goulder a while ago with some alleged news of his son?" The same, sir." answered Jason imperturb- ably; and you are Mr. Ransom, Sir Dan's nephew? Glad to meet you again, sir." Well," went on Ransom, leaning on his oars, and did you manage to give my uncle any information worth mentioning?" That must be for him to judge, sir," responded the other, and bent to the short sculls-a weather-beaten, picturesque figure. My good fellow," was the disdainful retort, "I don't want you to be indiscreet. But about yonder hoarding; what is going on behind it?" Jason backed water, avoiding the projecting rowlock of the outrigger. As to that, sir," he said, there's no end of gossip. But it seema to be pretty sure who's the skipper of the business, and that's Mr. Maqk, as owns the Oriana-a. big, white, square-rigged fiiex of a steam-yacht; yon may have noticed her at the moorings in the Pool. This is the second time she's dropped anchor at Carhaven in the last two months. Folk* will have it he's building some new-fangled sort of a boat on the bank there. Anyhow. he's brought over a lot of Yankee engineerl6 and they're as dumb as fishes about it." "Has the enclosure been up for long?'* queried the draughtsman. I-I haven't been down the river for some while, and so I don', know." Jason Macgoldrick considered. Nigh on a fortnight, sir," he decided, --and I should guess the rough of the job's over now, for I haven't heard their sledges at work lately. But they've been driving day and night, none the less; their flares are lit at dusk, and aren't out till dawn; there must. be several shifts of them." Ransom gazed thoughtfully across the inter, vening sheet of water, darkening beneath the October twilight. A strange expression con- tracted his face, as if he were contemplating some half-realised idea too improbable to be clearly entertained. He roused, and settled his oars for a stroke. "Indeed!" he observed. "Well, we shall learn all about it one of these fine days. Good evening Macgoldrick!" Beg pardon, sir," rejoined the other, but how is Lady Goulder, sir?-better I trust." The draughtsman shook his head. I'm afraid I can scarcely say that," ha answered. She just holds her own." It's hard on Sir Daniel," declared Jason sympathetically. Pardon me again, sir, but you've—you've not heard from Mr. Richard? I thought perhaps as his mother-that is, as Lady Goulder—waa so ill, he-" Not a syllable," intimated Ransom sharply; at least, that I have any know- ledge of. Good-night! His powerful oars swung through their wide arc, and the outrigger disappeared in the dusk. It was growing late for a craft to be abroad that carried no lights, and the draughtsman, pulling strongly, swept the slender boat up the brown lane of water that led to the depot, of his club. Disembarking at the shallow stage, he helped the custodian to get her in, and hastened to change his rowing garments for a more ordinary costume. When, after tipping the attendant, he stepped forth and paused at the exit of the boat-house to light a cigarette before mount- ing from the level of the low, damp stage, the evening had deepened into night. Neither moon nor stars were visible; the sky was too overclouded, but the wind had risen abruptly, and the Scour waa whispering fretfully in the gloom. At the river-side, á. little distance off, there rose a yellow glare, like the reflection of a great fire, but steadier. Around all else was sombre, melancholy, profound. It was the. last day of the\working-week, and the margins of the Scour were at their quietest. Leaving the boat-house, the draughtsman moved inland, progressing slowly, and at times clumsily. He was less phlegmatically; robust than he had once been, and but for the obscurity of the night, it might have been seen that his features were slightly bloated and flushed with the moist, hectic colour of the daring and persistent spirit-drinker. As he passed down the lonely road, he glanced nervously- to right and left, as though its half-wild solitude oppressed him. At length he tossed away the end of his cigarette, and tried to light another. The wind blew it out. He struck a second and a third; each, in turn, was extinguished. He slipped into a sheltering niche presented by an iregular wall that bordered the eartherit kerb. It was the boundary wall of the old boiler-factory, and close to was the ruined entrance where, though he could not know it, Allan Temple and Sybil Hope bacLIepto a certain momentous tryst. From where he stood he could command a view of its leaning gates and mouldering posts, illuminated by the rays of the public gas-standard that happened to be set opposite. His eyes dwelt on them mechanically. Suddenly a cold prespiration burst out on his limbs, and gathered in a clammy dew upon his forehead. A figure was just passings inwards between the toppling gates. To his horror and amazement, Oswald Ransom recognised it was that of Martin Blair, the man for whose death-although in self-defence —he had, during three months or more,, believed himself responsible. Commonsense re-asserted her empire over the draughtsman's brain. He was not at all superstitious, and but sparingly imaginative. Flinging down his cigarette, he stole out, of his covert, gained the entrance of the abandoned factory, and peered cautiously in. Directly ahead shone the diffused and yellow glow thrown skywards from the mysterious hoarding on the river-bank, and Martin Blair was proceeding towards it. Ransom slid through the yawning gates and followed him, at a respectful distance; also, he hugged strategically the gloomiest angles; of the scattered and ramshackle building that occupied the grass-grown plateau. Soon the two-pursuer and pursued—escaped altogether from the wan illumination that penetrated to the central avenue of the place from the lamp at its entrance. The draughtsman was compelled to grope his way; as for Blair. he had apparently vanished. In front of Oswald Ransom, and not inora than thirty yards off, the hoarding that formed the wall of the irradiated enclosure drew a broad black bar. Unexpectedly, a gap opened in it, and he saw Blair silhouetted against the interor glow. Beyond were mov- ing shapes, bizarre shadows, and tall. shimmering flames. The gap shut again, closed, Ransom perceived, by a guardian of some sort. Cautiously the draughtsman gained the foot of the hoarding, and strove to peep between the ranged upright planks that composed it. In vain; the fence was too well built. Ransom examined it yard by yard, bent upon discover- ing some knot-hole or crevice that would grant him ocular access to the enclosed patch of river-side. Rounding one of the corners of the rectangle nearest to the Scour, he started back precipitately. There was a pair of huge doors on that face of the hoarding, and they had been flung wide. The glare that streamed out lay almost to the water's edge, and vague figures were busy in it. A tempting inspiration came to Oswald Ransom. The wooden doors were turned outward and backward, leaving behind each a screened recess. He knew that there would doubtless be a vertical slit in the line of the hinges. If he could reach the covert offered by one of these recesses, he might be able to scrutinise much, if not all, of the mysterious interior. (To be Ooatiawd4 x
