A RACE WITH RUIN. By HEADQN HILL, I Author of "Guilty Gold," "The Queen of Night," "By a I Hair's Breadth," "The Peril of the Prince," &c., &c. SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTEBS. Leopold Tannadyce is a money-lender and financial shark, who holds heavy mortgages on the estate of Sir Charles Eoylance, which he is about to foreclose, for he covets Roy- lance Abbey, hoping to acquire social status by becoming its owner. Roylance has a horse, Starlight, with which he hopes to win the Century Stakes, and, by means of long price betting, gain sufficient money to pay off the mortgages. Tannadyce has a jackal ia a broken-down peer, named Hooligan, whom he has ruined, and whom he now uses, in connection with a betting agency, to tip Starlight, and thus reduce the odds preventing the coup Roylance seeks to bring off. The betting agency, "Parker's Lightning rina"o," is run by a ruined gentleman named Beau- champ, assisted by his daughter. Nance. who discovers Tannadyce's designs and seeks to save Roylance. who, in better days, was her sweetheart. Hooligan is suspected of the murder of a woman found dead on Epsom Downs. She is the sister of a "bookie" named Tidmarsh, was once a music-hall star, and was inveigled into a sham marriage by Hooligan. Tidmarsh. who is unaware of the identity of his sister's betrayer and mur- derer, has sworn to hunt him to the death. Nance has, unfortunately, attracted the un- pleasant attentions of both Hooligan and Tannadyce. Nance and Sir Charles meet at the Thames-side house of a relative of the latter, and while boating together are run down by Tannadyce in a steam launch. Tannadyce picks up Nance and rushes her to London. Eoylance follows and sees her drive away with Tannadyce. Later they meet at Nance's lodgings, and a full explanation follows. Roylance declares his love, and Nance accepts him. Later Nance is inveigled from her lodgings by Tannadyce's minions, on the pretence that her father, who has been assaulted in his office by Hooligan, is worse and needs her at the hospital. Roylance and Inspector Croal call at Nance's lodgings to find her gone, to Croal's intense disappointment, for he hoped to trace the murderer of Tid- marsh's sister through Nance, who was on Epsom Downs on the morning of the murder. J CHAPTER XXVIII-Continued. I Confidential Business Tannadyce smiled the smile that is in itself an exasperation. E-eally, Sir Charles, you are going a little too far," he protested with careless tolerance. Did she confide to you the name of this man whom you accuse me of introducing into 'PaFj-ier's Lightning Finals' ? Because, if so, I should be vastly ^obliged if you would give it to me." Sir Charles was too agitated to perceive that under the apparent insolence of the question there lay a real desire to ascertain if Nance had divulged the mysterious part- ner's name. Too agitated also was he to note the gleam of relief which shone in the usurer's eyes at his scornful denial of all knowledge of the partner's name. Miss Beauchamp didn't think it worth while to soil her lips with the brute's name, and that alone is proof of the falseness of your vile insinuation," he exclaimed. And then, realising the futility of pursuing his quest in this headquarters of deceit, he on n jft bee 1, but parsed at the door to fling back at his enemy the "gnivefing taunt: "I cannot hold my own with such as you, thank heaven, in tongue-work, but there ia another way of dragging to light the secrets of guilty men. Night and day hence- forth, till Miss Beauchamp is found, you will j be watched by the police, so that if you know where she is you won't be able to go to her without giving us our clue. Wherever you eat or drink or sleep there will be a detective at hand to note exactly where you go, what you do, and with whom you consort. It will even be known from whom you receive letters and telegrams. You will be living in a house of glass, Mr. Leopold Tannadyce, till this matter is cleared up. "Is that so?" sneered the moneylender. "I saw you getting out of a cab with Inspector Croal just now, and I gathered from this manner that he thought you wrong in coming to see me. Anyhow, give him my compli- ments, and tell him that if he likes to waste his time he will find a man with an easy conscience a very easy man to shadow. About dinner-time I am generally to be found at my restaurant in the Strand, and I invariably wind up at the Razzle Dazzle Club. Good-bye, Sir Charles, and a better temper to you." When his harassed victim had finally dis- appeared, Tannadyce leaned back in his chair and grinned. "That last shot about the Razzle Dazzle Club will hurt," he chuckled. "And this shadow- ing business bids fair to be amusing, since I have isolated the Book's Nest as effectually as a small-pox hospital—till I give the word." He rose once more to gaze abstractedly from the window, his hands thrust deep in his pockets, jingling the golden coins. "And that word must be given not later than Monday, for I cannot expect Mother Fury to control that crowd longer than that," he mut- tered presently. "Then matters should come to a head on Tuesday night at both places. Nathan's people will collar Starlight at Epsom, and—well, there'll be the devil to pay at the Book's Nest." CHAPTER XXIX. I In Dangerous Mood. I When Frank Bremner returned home on the evening of the day of Sir Charles Roylanoe and Mr. Croal's call at his house he found his wife depressed and miserable-a state of mind which the lawyer's clerk shared to the full when he heard that there was no news of their yooBg lodger. "And a little after Sir Charles aad the other gentleman had gone away, Mr. Tiilmrnh called," Mrø Bremner concluded her narrative. "He was mightily put out when he found he couldn't see Miss Beauchamp. He didn't say much then, but he came back half an hour ago raving like a madman about the poor girl. I couldn't make head nor tail of it, but he wants you to go round to the Union Jack as soon as you've had your tea." A little later, when Bremner entered the saloon bar-of the Union Jack, he was struck at once by the change in his old friend's demeanour. He had not been doing any betting at his usual haunt since the raid, but he was perched on his customary stool at the end of the counter, and it needed no second glance to show that he had been drinking heavily. Always one to carry his liquor well, the signs of exoass were confined to the purple flush on his vast countenance and the singular brightness of his eyes. His speech and gestures were under perfect control. "Come on, Frank; I've some rare news for you." be shouted. At seven o'clock on the summer evening the bar was empty, and Mr. Tidmarsh had been in animated conversation with the barmaid—quite a new departure for him. We're Williajn Tidmarsh, Esquire, now," said the lively young lady behind the counter with a wink at Bremner." "Nothing good enough but champagne, now that we've given up our naughty betting ways." Yes, my dear; and you can open another bottle of the boy' for William Tidmarsh, Esquire," said the bookmaker, fumbling for his pocket-book. "See here. Prank." he went YMA- the barmaid bad gone to ietoh tfce wine, "Tm in a fair way to find the chap that owns that pretty bauble." He slipped on to his finger the crested sig- net ring which he had picked up in the office in Red Lion Court just after the assault on Mr. Beauchamp. To Bremner alone had he confided his discovery, under a solemn pledge of secrecy. You ve heard something, my wife told me, and she thought it affected Miss Beau- champ," said Bremner anxiously. Affect her! yes, the lying little nrim, to worm that out of me, what we tumbled to about the seizure of Boylance's colt, on pre- tence she was to see the baronite to-day and get his advice before telling me what &he saw on the Downs' She well knew she wasn't going to eee Sir Charles at all, because she's got another fellow in tow—him she's gone off with." "Gone off with!" repeated Bremner feebly. "What on earth do you mean, Billy?" "What I say," the bookmaker snapped. "1 have it on reliable authority that the gral scooted last night with a feller. and that the bogus message from the hospital was all a put-up job between them. That's neither here nor there-the gal is nothing to me-but who do you think she scooted with?" "Really, Bill, you must have got hold of the wrong end of the stick; but let's hear the name, anyway," said Bremner. Tidmarsh waited till the barmaid had filled their glasses, imperiously waved her away, and sank his voice to a hoarse whisper, as he replied, "Your high-flown lodger, with her airs and graces in private life and a tipping office, has done a guy with the old man's partner, and who do you think he is? Why, the chap that killed poor Bess." "But his name?' Bremner demanded incre- dulously, and with a touch of impatience. He had a sincere regard for his burly associate, but so he also had for the girl who had so generously paid out the man in possession in the hour of his need. He could only account for the bookmaker's strange excite- ment by the temporary lull in his avocation caused by the police proceedings. "I shall know his name by Monday," said Tidmarsh, gulping down his champagne. You know my informant—that smart young groom of Tannadyce's. He was in here this afternoon, and I screwed it out of him like a reg'lar Old Bailey lawyer. Tan- nadyce is sweet on the gal himself, and has nosed it all out, but Skinner daren't tell me more till he's seen his master. By Monday they'll know where the pretty pair have flown to." And then ?" Then SkinnerU tell me." "And then, Tidmarsh, like a wise chap. you'll lay an informa.tion. and leave the law to take its course," urged Bremner, not in. the least believing the charge against Nance, bat hoping to steer his moody friend into wiser counsels. tafv-TwotfHL fgi, e no seek pledge. Beaching over for the bottle, he re-filled the glasses and smiled. It's me that's running this show, Frank," he said. Very likely the police will come in at the finish, but rm going to pass the post in front of Croal. He was at your place to-day with Sir Charles, wasn't he?" "I suppose it was the inspector; the missus told me Sir Charles called the other one Croal. What are we going to do about the Starlight job now. old man? I should lose my job at Nathan's if I was to warn Sir Charles, and there's no one else to—now that Miss Beauchamp has vanished from the scene." "Let him slide," said the bookmaker deci- sively. "I ain't playing any gent's game. What do you want to warn him for? Croal's with him in this. and the 'tec has got to be kept out of the racket. If you tell any- thing to anyone I'll never speak to you again. Besides, I've laid the colt freely at market odds, and it'll suit my book down to the ground for him to be a non-starter." Yes, I know; I stand to win a tenner on him from you myself," said Bremner with a rueful smile. It's a new sensation to have to go and work against the horse that carries one's money." But the clerk's private affairs had small interest then for Tidmarsh in the larger horizon opened up to him by the promised dis- closure. He made no reply to Bremner's remark, but held up and contemplated the ring which he had slipped on to his finger. Hanged if I don't keep it there," he exclaimed, caressing the golden circlet lovingly. It shall be on my hand when I meet him-just as it was on his hand when he met poor Bessie in the gorse bushes. It's good at leaving marks behind, is this ring, and maybe it's got one more to leave before it retires from the business. Maybe But he was not destined to oonclude his speculative predictions about the ring, for the swing doors of the saloon bar were pushed open, admitting the wiry and, on this occasion, undisguised form of Mr. Croal. The inspector's keen glance settled on the bookmaker as the latter hastily thrust his hand into his pocket and withdrew it unadorned by the ring. But he had not been quick enough for that hawk- like gaze. Good evening, Mr. Tidmarsh." the inspector began affably as he advanced to the counter. Been buying some new jewellery? Not me," returned Billy in surly confusion. Times are too hard for that—with the magis- trates so down on one." Ah, well; it doesn't matter, though I'm a bit of a connoisseur in rings, especially signet rings," said Oroal carelessly, and then added, turning to the lawyer's clerk: "May I ask if your name is Bremner? I've just been to Number 40, and Mrs. Bremner said I should find her husband here." Yes, that's me," was the reply. I trust you have brought news of Miss Beauchamp? "Unfortunately, not; but I have news of another kind," said the detective, with his eyes rather on Tidmarsh than on his ques- tioner. Old Mr. Beauchamp has recovered his senses at the hospital, and half an hour ago he furnished me with the name of his assailant." At the inspector's startling announcement Mr. Tidmarsh was hard put to it to stifle the exclamation that rose to his lips, but he remembered just in time that to evince more than a general interest in the Beauchamps might put the detective on the scent of his own researches. He contrived to hold his tongue, but he utterly failed to keep his countenance. The tell-tale spasm that rippled over that broad expanse in the effort of silence informed N Croal on a point about which he had been not a little curious-bow far Tidmaxsh had got in the independent pursuit of the criminal, which he had threatened on the day of the inquest. How the great stolid bookmaker had arrived at his conclusion, and how much or how little he knew, the inspector was unable to deter- mine; but the upheaval on the mountainoqi face told him that Mr. Tidmaah wsa growias wa.rm -in fad;, that he had succeeded in oonnecting the Beanohamps with the tmgedy on the Downs. çm. to Pm4IihmIJ
