I ■■■ 11 — THE PEER AND THE WOMAN. BY E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM. Lord Alceston was a young man who was fond nf action, and he by no means liked abandoning the enterprise in this way. "I'd much rather come with you, Thorn- son," he protested. "I don't see that I should make much difference." *1 do, and I know more about such matters than you. If I'm to do any good in this matter, Alceston, I must have my own way in this. The best thing you can do is to go home, and I'll come round and see you J si-night, and tell you all about it—if there's nything to tell." Lord Alceston shrugged his shoulders and Mrned away. "Very well I suppose I must give in, 6e said. "It's ridiculous to sup^ 'se that tayone down here would know me but-" "Oh, no, it isn't anything of the sort," Thomton interrupted, quickly. "You forget Hlat Scotland Yard has some little interest in this matter. I'm not much of a sporting ban, but I wouldn't mind betting you long odds that there will be at least one detective hanging round the Rising Sun. Anyone who goes there making even the most casual in- quiries about the murdered woman will be a tearked man at once. That doesn't matter ea far as I'm concerned, because I happen to be a reporter but if you were there-" "All rijjht, Thornton. I'm afraid you're j -? right. I'll go. But don't forget to look me up to-night!" Thornton nodded, and watched him till he was out of sight; then he crossed the road and entered the Rising Sun. As he had ex- pected, it was nearly full of curious gossipers standing around the bare marble counter and seated on the benches which lined the walls. It was a motley scene, and difficult for an outsider to look upon without a shudder. But Thornton, though his quiet glance around had taken in at once the whole character of the place, sat slowly sipping his brandy and water with all the careless stolidness of a habitue of the place. No one there could have guessed that that quiet, insignificant-looking man who sat there with half-closed eyes, wais listening with sharpened senses and never- ceasing vigilance to every question and answer. to every chance remark and opinion which was bandied about him. He had not asked <% single question or betrayed in any way the least curiousity about the subject which was being so fiercely discussed. He had come to the conclusion that he would in all probability learn more by sitting quite still and listening than by asking questions. And he was right. What be heard soon stimulated an interest which had not previously been very keen. He had read of this murder, and had dismissed it from his mind as ofte of a certain type with no special features about it. Probably hs would have forgotten all about it had it not been for Lord Alceston, an old schoolfellow, and fellow-member of a certain Bohemian club, one of whose unwritten rules it was that among the members there should be a cer- tain mutual aid society, a give-and-take of such services as one had it in his power to render the other. Stephen Thornton had a certain notoriety of his own as a powerful writer of extreme Radical views, and as a man who, rara avis, etc., was very much in earnest about his politics. But apart from this, he was noted as a lover of strange adven. tures of the genuine Bohemian type and as a wonderful amateur detective. So, after much trouble, thought, and deliberation, Lord Alces- ton, remembering certain services which he had once been able to render this man, went to him at his rooms late on the day of his father's funeral and asked for his aid. This was the case, he said, briefly put. On the same night, and within a few hours of the time of his father's murder, a nameless woman had been murdered in an obscure part of London. Something there wa-s-he could not say what-which seemed to faintly suggest the idea of some connection between the two murders. He could not take his information to Scotland Yard. Scotland Yard would want to know more than he was willing to tell. This circumstance, slight though it was, was one which he would not on any account risk letting the newspapers get hold of. He would not tell it to Scotland Yard; ho would not even tell it to the man whose I. aid he was asking. That was the ace. Would Thornton help him t All he wanted was if possible to see the face of the murdered woman and learn something of her ante- cedents. Alone he knew not how best to set about doing this. Would Thornton help him, by his advice or in any other way? Thornton had promised to help him readily enough. In his own mind he had at once set the idea down as preposterous. But he had asked no questions, and he had given no opinion. Simply, on starting out he had put down their errand as a wild-goose chase, and bad felt no interest in it beyond the desire to render a service to his friend. As he sat in the sanded drinking-bar of the Rising Sun, however, his ideas began to change. He began to get interested. This affair had features in it of which he had been ignorant. Most of his previous conclusions were evidently erroneous. He cleared his mind of them, and began to consider the matter, from an altogether different point of view. In the first place the woman, notwithstand- ing her surroundings, notwithstanding her evident poverty, had in one particular always maintained her self-respect. No one had ever seen her speak to a man, no one had ever heard her speak to them, save with contempt. Yet on the night of her tragical death three men had visited her one after another-the first time that such a thing had ever happened; and one of these must have been her murderer. Of no one of them had any accurate descrip- tion been given. All three were strangers to the neighbourhood, and at least two were, at any rate from the landlady's point of view, g~-itlemen. The conversation veered rouwl her, appearance and probable antecedents. Con- cerning the former there were different opinions, the men mostly taking one side and the women the other. But apart from the actual question of good looks, all were agreed upon one point-she was not of their class. Her hands and feet, the poise of her head, and her manner of speech, were all commented upon. The latter was almost foreign to them, but they knew the ring of it. She had been a lady, and while she ha-d lived they had hated her for it. Evt-n now some 0: the women uttered brutal sneers when they spoke of it. She had been no better than she should have been, or how had she drifted there among them? Curse her and the likes of her. I There were endless repetitions, maunder- ings, and quarrels. Now and then there was a blow struck, and the combatants, screaming and cursing with horrible oaths, were ejected to "have it out" outside. The main sub- t ject was sometimes quitted for the retailiug > of some filthy yarn, greeted with shrieks of hideous laughter from the women, but in the end some new arrival always brought it back again into the old channel. And Stephen Thornton sat there still, slowly sipping brandy and water, and with half-closed eyes and hands stuck deep in his pockets affecting the maudlin state of a half-drunken man. A new-comer started a point which Thorn- ton had already labelled in his mind as impor- tant. Who was the man who had had her buried ? Why hadn't the parish buried her She had died without money. Who had found the "brass" for the funeral ? There were plenty ready to Muwer. It was a man who had come to try and identify 1 her, and had recognised her face as that of a lady whom he had once seen abroad. He did not even know her name. He knew nothing about her, in fact. He had been struck with her appearance, and had offered to have her buried decently. That was all. Thornton weighed it over in his mind. Had it been a man of whom he had known nothing he might after inquiry have believed it. But it so happened that, although he had not mentioned the fact to Lord Alceston, the man in the mourning coach was no stranger to him. He thought it over deliberately, and he came to this conclusion-that Monsieur de Feurget knew more, much more, about this woman than he chose to tell the world. Per- haps he was one of those three visitors; per- haps even he himself was concerned in the murder. At any rate, he was a person to be watched, to be suspected, through whom a clue might eventually be obtained. The con- versation surged on, and every now and then Thornton heard things which interested him. There was not one there who could say that she or he had ever even exchanged a word beyond the most casual remark with the murdered woman but there was some one, it seemed, who had been almost friendly with her, who, more than one hinted, knew some- thing of her past and her real position.
