A RACE WITH RUIN.
A RACE WITH RUIN. By HEADON HILL, Author of "Guilty Gold," "The Queen of Night," "By a Hair's Breadth," "The Peril of the Prince," &c., &c. SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTERS. Leopold Tannadyce ill a money-lender and financial shark. who holds heavy mortgages on the estate of Sir Charles poylance. 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 in a broken-down peer, named Hooligan, whom he has rtiined, and whom he now uses, in connection with a betting agency, to tip Starlight, and thus reduce the odds preventing the coup Royiance seeks to bring off. The betting agency, "Parker's Lightning Finals," i* 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 ervorn to hunt him to the death. Nance has. unfortunately, attracted the un- pleasant attentions of ooth 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. Roylance follows and sees her drive away with Tannadyce. Later they meet at Nance's lodgings, and a fall explanation follows. Roylance declares his love, and Nance accepts him. Later Nance is inveigled from her lodgings by Tannadyce a minions, on the pretence that her father, who has been assaulted in his office by Hooligan, is worse and needs her at the hospital. Soylaaoe and Inspector fCroal call at Nance's lodgings to find her gone, to Croal's intense disappointment, for I he hoped to trace the murderer of Tid- marsh's sister through Nance, who was on Epsom Downs on the morning of the murder. Tannadyce, in addition to the outrage in kidnapping and detaining Nance, has laid a plan for the seizure of the horse Starlight under a forgotten judgment for £5,000 obtained against Sir Charles Roy- lance. Nance's angui&h at the clangers threatening her at Rook's Nest is increased by the fact that, though she know-3 of this plot against Starlight, she is powerless to warn her lover of the danger to the horse, which. if it won the Century Handicap while still his property, would, owing to its price, to which it had receded in the betting. redeem the fallen fortunes of his house. At the firing of a signal rocket on the night Starlight is to be seized, Nance's gaolers depart, leaving her in an upper room at the front of the building, with Hooligan drunk on the ground floor room, so placed that his feet project from the win- dow, the idea being to scare Nance from attempting to escape. Meanwhile Croal and Tidmarsh have been dodging each other in London. Tidmarsh gets out first, closely followed by Croal, and arrives to find Rook's Nest on fire and Hooligan dead. They begin a search for Nance in the burning building. I 4rAAO-TER XXXVII-Continued. I | Will There Be Time? J "So they're going to distrain on Starlight. That's artful of them," he said, as he re- locked the gates. "Yes, I knew it last Friday, and I should have warned you then if I hadn't been prevented." panted Nance. "We were only speaking of you a minute back, miss," said Barron respectfully. "I'm glad you've broken loose, and-" Never mind me—that'll keep," Nance interrupted him, and she broke into a concise narrative of the imminent catastrophe that was even now swooping down upon the stable. Barron listened in tense silence, but his shrewd eyes twinkled as she finished. There was a talk of scratching the colt just now, but there won't be any need to do that if these sharks take him away from us, will there, miss?" he said meaningly. "I—I hope not. I have fought so hard for that horse, Mr. Barron," Nance faltered. I know you have," assented the trainer warmly. Sir Charles, who is staying here to-night, has been telling me about it, but we mustn't stand here talking when we ought to be preparing to receive the representa- tives of the law. There is no time to explain matters to Sir Charles, so if you will kindly step this way I will find a snug hiding-place for you in the hay-loft while I get Starlight ready for his journey. It wouldn't do for the plunderers to know that you had been here." And Mr. Darron winked solemnly as he unlocked the stable again and passed in, followed by the bringer of the tidings. I CHAPTER XXXVIII. I I Tannadyce's Triumph. I In the meanwhile I Sir Charlea^Roylance was pa-cing up and down in the trainer's parlour wondering why his host was so long in rejoining him. He looked years older than when we saw him last, the loss of his staunch little sweetheart having wrought a change in him which no financial troubles had ever been able to effect. Inspector Croal had proved a broken reed. That officer's confident assurance of being able to trace Nance by keeping observation on Tannadyce had yielded no results, and for the past twenty-four hours the young baronet had seen nothing of his detective ally. In his despair he had come down to Epsom to tell his trainer that he had not the heart to ran Starlight on the morrow, and he had accepted the offer of a bed which Tom had made in the straw-clutching hope of inducing his favourite patron to re-consider his decision. It was a quarter of an hour before Barron came in with vague excuses for keeping his guest waiting-excuses which were cut short as soon as begun by the sonorous clanging of the yard bell. He uttered an exclamation of annoyed surprise that anyone should disturb the establishment so late. "All the lads are gone to bed; I must go myself and see who it is," he said, leaving the room hurriedly. In restless mood Sir Charles followed him to the house door and watched him cross the yard to the big gates, through which the figures of three men were dimly visible. The trainer had no sooner reached the gate than a heated altercation ensued, which tempted Sir Charles to stroll over to the group. On his nearing them Ba.rron turned to him in a white heat of indignation. "Here's a bit of cheek!" he spluttered. "Three d d process-servers come to collar your colt Starlight under a judgment, they say. "Oh, is that Sir Charles Roylance?" crackled the sharp metallic tones of one of those out- side. "Good evening, Sir Charles. You'll have more sense than this firebrand, I expect. He hardly seems to realise the consequences of obstructing us. Be good enough to ask him to allow the law to take its course." His enemy's voice came to Starlight's harassed owner like a gust of fresh air or a bracing tonic. "Let them in, Tom," he said with quiet scorn.. "That is, when they have shown their authority. I wouldn't take that Jew's word for anything," Showing his teeth in an ugly grin, but re- pressing a retort, Tannadyce bade Bremner and the sheriff's officer produce the necessary documents. The latter were in undoubted order. and, having inspected them through the bars by the light of his lantern, Barron, with every show of reluctance, unfastened the gate. As the trio passed in he eyed them with ¡,cn insolent stare of affected pity. "By Jingo! but y(}U're a rummy lot to fetch a thoroughbred oolt away," he murmured aa they filed by him. "You won't know which end to begin. I'm thinking, and you'll be a pretty eick crowd by the time he's done with you. We'll manage," said Tannadyce shortly. "Where's the horse?" Grumbling in no unmeasured language, the trainer led the way to the stable and un- locked it, the distradiaing party following close, on his heels, and Sir Charles bringing up the rear with the air of a disinterested spectator. "There! I've given you access to the horse. You can't expect me to point him out to yoa." said Barron with a hostile laugh. But Tannadyce was in no way put out by his ill-humour. After one comprehensive look round the interior of the building he beckoned his companions .and marched straight between the rows of loose boxes to the end one, over which the name "Starlight" waa affixed in enamelled letters. "Ah! but you're well posted. I see now what that snivelling rascal who came to apply for a job^flfrre was after the other day," ex- claimed Barron with bitter emphasis. Taking no notice of him, the money-lender entered the box with his assistants, and after a wary approach to the great raking chestnut with the conspicuous white star, succeeded in getting its head into the halter which his foresight had provided. Tossing the end of the rope to Frank Bremner, who was looking heartily ashamed of himself, he bade him load the horse oat. There! I think we may take credit for having performed an unpleasant business with courtesy and expedition." said Tanna- dyce, with a sinister glance at the baronet who had preserved his unmoved demeanour. Leaning against a corn bin, Sir Charles let his gaze follow the animal as it walked proudly to the door in the clumsy grip of the lawyer s clerk. "A very unnecessary business. if your object was to prevent Starlight win- ning his race to-morrow," he said quietly. You have lost faith in his chance? Or else the grapes are conveniently sour?" sneered lannadyce. As men ever hate those whom they injure, so he hated the well-born victim of his rapacity, desiring that he should drink the bitter cup to the dregs. He would have preferred to leave Starlight's owner in the belief that in losing the horse he had lost a. certain win. > "On the contrary, I am more confident than ever that if he had started he would have won with ease. But. as Mr. Barron will bear me out, I had decided not to run him," said Sir^Siarles coldly. "Oh! then you were forestalled- Etfter all by the machinations, as I thiftk you 0" them, of 'Parker's Lightning Finals,' and the mysterious sleeping partner whom vou did me the honour to idemUy with d- Tannadyce, unable in his elation to resist the thrust. "Again, on the contrary, I have backed Star- light to win a sum which would free me from your usurious clutches ior ever. My reason for deciding to scratch the colt is one which would be absolutely unintellig-ible to your Semitic mind," was the baronet's reply, uttered with a studied contempt that goaded iannadyce to retaliation. Oa. come; you 11 never cram me with the notion that you meant to stand out of ?? win ?ause of that girl from Parker, he hissed through his whiS .ee.h. ?on can make your mind easy a"f bout her. I got the tip about her this afternoon. She went off with Lord Hooligan -you know the beauty I mean—to a little place bed taken on purpose near Mitcham Junction. ana I should imagine she's not worth looking for by now." It was only the lash of Sir Charles's scorn that could have stung him to a rejoinder so sure of retribution, for he was always careful of his skin. But it was not his victim's swiftly raised hand that was to punish the brutal speech, Tom Barron, who had been nervously casting furtile glances at the hay- loft trap-door during Tannadyce's vile assertion, sprang forward, and with a mighty kick projected the slanderers three parts of the way to the stable door-out of the reach of the baronet's descending fiat o need for you to soil yourself by touching such as him, Sir Charles," cried the angry trainer. Shoe-lewher is good enough for the likes of him." And with another apprehensive backward glance at the loft. he followed the moneylender up so threaten- ingly that in less than ten seconds the three intruders and the horse were outside the yard gates. Tom Barron stood and watched them through the bars till they had dwindled to a brown patch on the white chalk streak of moonlit road; then he locked the gates and returned to the stable, from the door of which Sir Charles was just emerging. "Thank you, Barron," he said warmlj. That kick of yours is something on the riga& side of the balance-sheet, anyhow." Keep a good courage, sir," cried thow trainer, pushing past him into the building with less thaai his usual ceremony. Sir Charles watched him in mild surprise. he raised his lantern to the trap-door in the ceilmg, whence a ladder ran down to the. floor. Even when honest Tom called out: Coast clear, miss." he did not begin to understand till a pair of dainty ankles appeared on thet ladder, followed by a slight girlish figure that drew from him the glad cry of- "Nance? My Nance?" "Charley!" was the single word, full (f a, thousand meanings, with which she flung- herself into her lover's outstretched arms. When she had told in a few breathless sentences all she knew of her capture and escape the trainer interrupted with a respect-, ful suggestion that they should adjourn Wb the house. You did brave work when you brought warning of what that rascal Jew was up to. miss," was Mr. Barron's admiring comment as he piloted the way across the yard. "But in my humble judgment you did a braver when you kept quiet in the hay loft under all that calumny. I was in mortal fear lest you'd show up, just to give him that lie, and so blow on the deal." What deal?" asked Sir Charles innocently. "I rather wish you had shown yourself, darling, and crammed the lie down his throat in person. I can't see that it would have mattered, as he has got Starlight in. spite of your plucky attempt to warn us." Tell me, Charley." said Nance, linking her arm in her lover's, now that I am safe. Starlight's removal is a real blow to you? I mean that now you would not have adhered, to that chivalrous idea of scratching him?" Thank heaven, there is now no need for what you are pleased to call my chivalry," sa.id the young man warmly. Certainly I should have run the horse if he had remained in my hands under present circumstances." At these simple words Tom Barron'a weather-beaten face created into a grin, and he broke into a prolonged chuckle. There you are, miss." he said, as he ushered them into his cosy parlour. That bears out what I told .you—that the deal would be a sight more satisfactory with yon hidden in the hay-loft." "What deal ?, asked Sir Charles once more. But all he could get just then, either from his trainer or from his sweetheart, was an interchange between the two of mysterious nods and winks, and, on Barron's part, occasional convulsions of silent laughter.
