A RACE WITH RUIN, By HEADON HILL, Author of "Guilty Gold," "The Queen of Night," By ft Hair's Breadth," "The Peril of the Prince," &c., &c. CHAPTER XIV. The Man in Possession 1 The little one delivered her message with a I shrill distinctness that rang through the saloon bar, and Frank Bremner flushed for very shame. It was too true. On returning from work that afternoon he had been met on the doorstep by his weeping wife with the intelligence that there was a broker's man in the kitchen in respect of the last quarter's rent. With characteristic levity he had re- marked that it would be all right, and had straightway gone round to the Union Jack to endeavour to right matters by investing some of his few remaining shillings with Tidmarsh. But this exposure before his boon com- panions brought him up with a round turn. Even to the careless loungers of a saloon bar it does not look pretty to be drinking and trafficking with a bookmaker in an avowedly sporting house when the home is in danger of disruption; and, his selfishness being more of the head than the heart, he acutely felt the implied rebuke of the glances shot at him. However, the summons called for immediate attention, and, taking his little daughter's hand, he was making for the door when Croal accosted him, after whispering to Tidmarsh not to disclose his identity. "I beg your pardon, sir, but I couldn't help overhearing," said the inspector. "If there's been an accident I might be of service, and shall be most happy—mutual friend of Mr. Tidmarsh, Bayly by name. I've been through an ambulance class, and can render first aid if required." "Come along, then," replied Bremner, too perturbed to offer thanks. "It is only a few yards up the street." On entering the house by the basement door they were confronted by a strong smell of burning and by groans from the kitchen, where they found Mary Bremner and Nance Beauchamp bending over a little wizened old maa propped in an armchair. His singed coat had been removed, and lay on the table, emittinz evil odours. "He's getting better, I think," M. Bremner informed her husband. "The poor old fellow says he was weak for want of food and fell as he was crossing the front of the hearth, set- ting fire to his clothes and burning his hand before I could help him." It was an anxious moment for the inspector When Nance looked up from her ministra- tions to add indignantly: "His employers must be perfect brutes. They only pay him ten shillings a week, and though they knew he was starving when they sent him here, they wouldn't advance him six- pence to buy a meal." But the disguise held good. In the ponde- rous, elderly City merchant there was no resemblance to the square-jowled, keen-eyed I detective of the previous Sunday at Barfield- on-Thames. As a matter of fact, Nance thought the inspector was a surgeon. "Allow me," he said, and kneeling by the chair he examined the burn, caned for sweet oil and cotton wool, and soon made the patient comfortable. Eased of his pain, the man in possession sat up feebly and looked from one to the other of the kindly faces round him with dog-like gratitude. He was very old-Fieventy-five at least-and a Hebrew of the Hebrews, or, as Croal said to himself, "about the Jewiest- loolting Jew out of Whitechapel." "Mhy Heaven bless you all, who ought to be my enemies," he wheezed. "Hands that might well be raised against me have bound up and healed. And I cannot repay-I can- not repay! I, Moses Cohen, who have a son feasting on the fat of the land, sleeping in down, and driving in gaudy equipages, can offer' naught but the grip of the law to those whom I would fain endow with all good things." "All right, old chap; don't let the personal question worry you. Heaven knows it's no fault of yours that you're in charge of my sticks," said Bremner with better self- reproach, but adding in his whimsical way: "Perhaps that rich son of yours would lend us a bit to be going on with." The little withered atomy in the chair thrust forward his beak-like nose and bared hit yellow gums in contemptuous grimace. "My son help any one," he chuckled, as though the joke tickled him. "He might lend I you money if you had fat bones to pick, broad acres to foreclose on, or a reversion under a will; and naked you would be as at birth when he had done with you. But to such as you his purse-strings would be shut. Me, his own father, he turned penniless into the street ten tears since—because there was something he would have me do at which my soul revolted." -Exhausted by his tirade, he sank back in the chair, but Croal re-assured them that there was no cause for alarm. I'll look after him for the present. You want to put the children to bed, and Mr. Beauchamp is taking a nap and won't need me just yet," said Nance to Mrs. Bremner. "They go by their own name here, anyhow," reflected Croal, adding aloud, "Well, the patient seems to be in good hands, and as I can't do any more for him I'll be off. By the bye, Mr.—ah! Bremner, thank you—I thought I saw you talking at the Union Jack to a young fellow I know ill the City-Deaken, of Highbury?" "Oh, no," was the reply. "That was Skinner, groom to Leopold Tannadyce, the big West End moneylender. His governor is a client of our firm-that's how I know him." Was it the pain of the burn that sent a sharp spasm across the parchment counte nance of Moses Cohen at that moment?- Nance thought so, and bent over him soothingly, murmuring words of comfort. That was the picture which the inspector carried away in his mental vision—of a fair girl with a face full of womanly pity tending the aged and none too cleanly scarecrow whom chance had committed to her mercy. "She isn't a bad sort, whatever her part in this little piece is," the detective told him- self, as, having pooh-poohed Bremner's tardy thanks, he walked away up the street. "But Leopold Tannadyce's groom. Where does he come in? Or, by Jinge, is it his master who's so curious about her Sundays out?" CHAPTR XV I The Electric Launch I Now, Mr. Quintree, I know I shall not appeal to you in vain. I am making up my subscription list in aid of the Anti-Gambling League. What shall I book for y¡>u?" The speaker was that stern yet kindly Spinster Lady Alice Mashiter, and the place where she put that pertinent question was the lawn of her pretty house, The Hollies, at Barfield. It was Sunday afternoon again, and she had had the tea-table brought out under the ancient cedar, where, in addition to the hostess, were grouped in garden-chairs Mr. Quintree, Mr. CooQer-Bulstrode, a church- warden and local magnate, Sir Charles Roy- lance, and Nance Beauchamp. The reverend gentleman rubbed his faw hands together and purred gently: "A good cause, Lady Alice, a good cause. Yea, I must contribute my humble mite, and there's no time like the present for discharging these-er, charitable liabilities. A guinea. is all I can afford, I fear; but perhaps my sympathy, dear lady,my sympathy-nmy, make it go further." He plunged his hand into his waistcoat pocket and extracted some coins-alfo, un- intentionally, a printed paper whichtfell on the grass. Sir Charles, sitting a little behind him, picked it up and was about to restore it, when his eye caught the heading, and with a smothered laugh and a boyish grin he transferred it to his own pocket. And you, Mr. Cooper-Bulstrode-I trust that you will follow Mr. Quintree's good example!" said the enthusiast, annexing the guinea. Mr. Bulstrode. a portly gentleman with mutton-chop whiskers, was more flush of money than words. He produced a sheaf of five-pound notes, selected one, and handed it to his hostess with a sigh. It is useless, I know, to ask my nephew to assist in nailing down the coffin of his amusement," proceeded Lady Alice, glancing severely at Starlight's owner. On the contrary, my dear aunt, here is a nail for the coffin," said Sir Charles, passing her a sovereign. "And my sympathy is quite as much at your service as Mr. Quin- tree's, for if I win my next race I hope never to book another bet or face the flag again. Come, Miss Beauchamp, let's try the punt. I want to show you something—it's too funny for words," he added in a lower tone for Nance's sole benefit. The lawn ran down to the river, where at the foot of a flight of wooden steps a punt and a pleasure skiff were moored. Helping his companion into the former. Sir Charles took the pole and punted a little way out into the stream. Having made the craft fast to the pole, he came and sat beside Nance on the cushions at the stern. We can talk here without being over- heard, and now for my promised revelation and an examination of my plunder," he began. "What do you think? Old Quintree, who has just given a guinea to the Anti- Gambling League, subscribes to a tipping office, if you know what that is-a shop where they sell racing lies to fools." "Really!" was all poor Nance could falter. Yes—at any rate, he carries a tipster's circular about with him, and dropped it just now on the lawn," the baronet rattled on. Here it is-headed 'Parker's Lightning Finals,' save the mark! Now let's see what real good thing' Mr. Parker has been putting the reverend sport and gay old deceiver on to. By Jove! but this is too bad. I wonder if it accounts for it." "Accounts for what?" Nance hazarded eagerly, but in a thin voice which he was too much absorbed to notice or even to hear. He read on without answering, his brows contracted in a deepening frown and his mouth twitching with nervous excitement. Of all miserable lying concoctions this is the worst," he exclaimed at last, and put into Nance's hand the circular which she herself had drawn up, announcing Starlight's imaginary breakdown with a view to defeating the machinations of Hooligan. Of course this is-is not true," she mur- mured, after glancing at the circular. Starlight is well and likely to win?" As fit as a fiddle and1 good enough to win me back Roylance Abbey," replied Sir Charles confidently. "But in one respect the colt is a regular bag of mystery. First he was rushed to a short price quite un- accountably, and now for the past few days he has been declining in the betting, till yesterday I was able to back him at quite a respectable figure, to win a big stake. Owing to this false rumour, probably. It isn't altogether pleasantt though, to feel that one owes one's luck to such lying stuff as that." Perhaps you owed your original bad luck to equally false or, at least, ill-intentioned reports," Nance answered, fighting back the hot tears that rose to her eyes. She was paying a bitter penalty for serving the man she loved. All that week, since Hooligan's retreat through the skylight, life had been easier for her. The brutal noble- man who had duped her blind and sanguine father had not been near the office again. She had had matters all her own way, freely substituting her own letters of advice for Hooligan's, and she had come down to Barfield hoping to hear that Charley had fully profited by her sacrifice of self-respect. But not like this, in words of scathing contumely. "Very likely," Sir Charles replied after a pause. There is one man to whose interest, it would be to spread reports that would prevent my having a good win-the plausible scoundrel who holds the mortgages. He is quite able of suborning some pettifogging affair like this Parker's Lightning Finals' to spoil my market." "Charley, what is this man's name? Is it possible that it is known to me?" Nance asked suddenly. She half expected that lull" would mention Lord Hooligan, not being aware that his lordship possessed little but the clothes he stood up in. On what slenfler threats do great issues hang. Before Sir Charles could speak the name of Leopold Tannadyce, which was om his lips, his attention was distracted by an electric launch which had rounded a bend in the river two hundred yards away, and was swooping towards them ait a tremendous speed. He had observed the same launch several times during the afternoon, and had been struck by the erratic steering of the helmsman as it passed and repassed The Hollies. It was a handsome vessel of con- siderable size, with a range of deckhouses capable of accommodating a number of persons, but on this occasion there seemed to be hardly any one on board. Sir Charles rose with an exclamation of annoyance, and began rapidly untying the puntrpole. I don't -like the look of that machine," he explained. The fellow who's steering her must be either drunk or incapable or both—she's wobbling all over the river. We shall be safer nearer the bank." He succeeded in unfastening the knot, but, experiencing some difficulty in drawing tb-- pole from the muddy bottom, he cast an anxious glance up stream. To his horror he saw that the launch had ceased her deriotu course, and was rushing straight for tb# punt, in the weird fashion of electric erglft. making no sound but the tinkling ripple from her cutwater. a Sir Charles shouted a. warning cry to the oncoming vessel, but it had no effect except to alarm Lady Alice and her guests, who came running down the lawn just as the launch crashed into the punt, sinking her and throwing her occupants into the river. The launch had slowed somewhat just before the impact, and, handled now with a skill in st.range contrast to the previous recklessness, came to a stop within her own length. Two men jumped into a boat that had been towing astern, and quickly reaching Nance as she rose to the surface for the first time, put her on board the launch, while Sir Charles, seeing that she was rescued, struck out for land. n'o be Continued.)
