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. I Leopold Tannadyce is a money-lender and financial shark, who holds heavy mortgages on the ,estate of Sir Charles Roylance. which he is about to foreclose, for he covets Roy- lance Abbey, hoping to acquire social status by becoming its owner. Eoylance 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 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 Finals," is run by a ruined gentlemwa 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 wae 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 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. Ta-nnadyce 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 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 bis office by Hooligan, is worse and needs her at the hospital. Boylance 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. CHAPTER XXXII. The Tiger Loosed. I suppose you know you're close shadowed, sir? Inspector Croal has been up and down nearly all day, and every time he passed along he spoke to one or two loafers that had the look of 'tecs." The speaker was Skinner, who, top-booted and with his best livery on, stood before Tann- adyce in his private room. "I liave derived much amusement, my dear Skinner, from the inspector's antics, and also from those of his merry men," replied the great money-lender lightly. It was to defeat his simple-minded little game that I sent for you to step in before you drive me out to dinner. You have thoroughly mas- tered the information I want pumped into that amiable bookie?" Yes, sir; you taught me my lesson this morning." "Well, I'm going to dine at Romano's. They'll follow nwt there to a certainty and! hang about outside. When you set me down I shall order you to come back and fetch me in- two hours, and you win drive "slowly off as though returning to the mews. If, as probable, one of these fellows overhears me, he will think it a blind and that I am going to slip off long before the two hours are up. On the contrary, I shall enjoy an epicurean repast, while you, my Skinner, whip up as soon as you are out of the Strand and make all speed to your rendezvous with Mr. Tid- marsh." "I quite understand, sir." Then go and get on the cab; I will come out in a minute. By the way, have you made arrangements for firing that rocket when- ever it may become necessary?" "Yes, sir; I made friends with an old chap residing in a cottage at Beddington, and left it there ready. I shall fire it from his garden, and as it's on high ground it will be visible at the Hook's Nest," Skinner replied, as coolly as if the firing of rockets was an everyday item in his existence. When the groom was gone Tannadyce leaned back in his chair and thoughtfully stroked his well-trimmed moustache. The event marches quickly as they say in France," he muttered under his breath. Here we are at Monday night and there is no sign that Mother Fnry has failed to keep order in her rather mixed establishment. There can, therefore, have been no enlighten- ment of Croal from that end, and I will guarantee that he has got no clue to the Book's Nest from this. And to-morrow night a.fter the signal has been given a visitor will put in an appearance there who will clear the air in that direction just about the time that Nathan's people are doing the trick at Epsom- Miss Nance Beauchamp ought to be thankful that someone will be willing to make an honest woman of her after the scandal of which she will have been the heroine. Smiling at the prospect his forecast conjured up, he threw a light overcoat over his evening dress, and went down and got into the waiting cab. Shortly after they started Skinner opened the Cap and informed his master that one of the loungers had called a cab off the rank and was following oloee behind. "Just -as I told you," Tannadyoe called back. "By the way, don't forget to keep your eyes open on the way to Islington, on the chance of being followed. It's hardly likely Croal win think I've confided such a delicate mission to you. but it's beat to be on the sae -side. Arrived at the Strand Restaurant, where we first made his acquain tance, the money-lender descended very leisurely from the cab on pur- pose to'allow the "shadow" to come up. Thus, when at length his emart patent leathers touched the pavement, the detective was down already, pretending to pay his driver. Tannadyce was slightly disappointed. The man was a subordinate quite unknown to him. He would have preferred bam- boozling Mr. Croal in person. Turning to Skinner, he carried out the programme sketched out in his office, and had the satisfaction of seeing his "treasure" faithfully obey the instructions, to which the shadow listened with oblivious interest. As Tannadyce had foreseen, the plain-clothes officer watched him enter the gilded portals, and commenced- to saunter about outside without paying any attention to the depart, ing private cab. In the meanwhile Skinner drove slowly away, and being an adept in street-craft, was quickly assured that he was not being followed. He could not but admire his master's cunning in arranging for his inter- view with Tidmarsh in this way. If he had been sent straight up to Islington from the office, one of the loungers would probably have been detached to investigate his errand. As it was, he had fulfilled a perfectly natural function in driving his master out to dinner, and he was now supposed to be engaged on an equally natural one in returning to the stables. On leaving the Strand, Skinner drove slowly round Tra-falgax-oquaze, and on reaohing St. Martin'S-lane without ANY indications of pursuit, he shook his reins and weat jingling northward at a good pace. O&otious as ever, he ohose several datooa tUa8cJa anist thoroughfares, with j the result that he pulled up outside the Union Jack in the absolute certainty that no other vehicle, be it cab or bicycle, had dogged his course. He got down from his perch and glanced round for some one to look after his horse. The race for his patronage between two hangers-on of the street-comer type was won by a slipshod, unkempt wastrel who grabbed the reins with one filthy hand while touch- ing a greasy bowler hat with the other. Oi'll moind the darlint same as if h' was me own,' cried the successful loafer in a strong Hibernian accent. After a critical scrutiny to see that he was sober, Skinner surrendered the cab to him and entered the saloon bar. The place was fairly full with customers, but contrary to his usual habit Mr. Tidmarsh was not installed on the end stool. Glass in hand he stood at the counter, and by the eagerness with which he came forward it was easy to see that he ha.d been anxiously awaiting Skinner's arrival. "Good lad, you ain't more'n five minutes late," ne said. Come along with me. I've fixed it up with Mr. Landlord to have the use of his parlour. T'wouldn't do to talk privati in this crowd." He led the way through a door at the back of the saloon into a, cosy room, decorated with sporting prints and stuffed fish in glass cases. It was a hot night, and the window had been left open at the bottom, but Skinner promptly shut it down. Tidmarsh, however, better posted in the geography of the house, explained that the window looked into a walled enclosure used for the storage of empty cases and bottles, and he compromised by drawing it down slightly at the top. "No one ever goes there except the cellar- man, but he's busy in the bar at this time of night," said the bookmaker. Now, are you ready with that little bit of allright? "Yes," said Skinner, "I've got leave from my governor to speak, but there's a condition attached to it. You must promise faithfully not to give away the source of your informa- tion, no matter what happens." "Yes, yes, I'll swear that," cried Billy with impatience. "The name, young feller?" "It is Lord Hooligan," replied the groom, watching to see how the fateful announce- ment would be received. To his surprise, in- stead of the outburst of fury which he had expected, Tidmarsh preserved a quiet dignity, far more effective. "Oh, so poor Bess was a nobleman's fancy!- the bookmaker remarked quite gently. "I know Lord Hooligan by sight, and I've often thought, after watching his antics in the West End, that I'd have made a tidy sort of peer myself. Well, well! it'll make a stir. And where might the place be?" Skinner was about to answer when Tid- marsh suddenly rose and threw up the lower half of the window, peering out into the blackness of the yard. It was past nine, and so dark that he oould see nothing, but before resuming his seat he shut the upper section of the window MMt drew the curtains. "Thought I heard something, but I reckon* it was nerves," he explained. "Better be on the safe side, though." Skinner agreed, and proceeded to fulfil the most important part of his mission by accu- rately describing the position of the Book's Nest, its approaches and various dooro and windows. He added that his master had ascertained that Lord Hooligan was enter- taining a oouple of friends—e_x-pri»e-fighters— who were, however, to leave on the following evening before nine o'clock. "If you're going to put the police on to him it would be best to wait till after that lot have cleared, wouldn't it?" suggested Skinner, in conclusion. "They might help him to get away. Mr. Tidmarsh removed his cigar and blair a ring of smoke scornfully. "Police?" he repeated. "Ah, yes; of course. No, the police won't have a look in at the Book's Nest till after nine to-morrow night, make your mind easy about that." And then, after a pause, he added: "They've got a 'Huff's Guide' in this pub., but it's odds against them hawing a. 'Peerage.' He touched a hand-hell, and one of the barmaids put her head into the parlour. Yes,, they had a "Peerage" about ten years old, if that was any use. Mr. Tidruarsh nodded, and the fat red volume was placed before him. His huge fingers turne the leaves till he came to the name Hooligan among the barons, when a fierce but well- restrained joy rippled over his countenance. He pointed to the heraldic device of the family arms and crest and then solemnly extended his hand to Skinner. "Shake, young feller," he said earnestly. "There's no gammon about this yarn of yours. I've found that jumping cat at last." And Skinner, gazing upon the rampant lion of the Hooligans, recognised that Billy had done a fair share of detective work on his own account before Tannadyce, for reasons of his own, had placed the final thread in feis hands. "The gal from the tipping-office is there along of him?" asked Billy, looking up from his scrutiny of the crest. "Yes; you don't mean any harm by her, I hope?" said Skinner rather anxiously. "God forbid; I don't make war on women, let alone one that was good to my pal France* Bremner," the bookmaker returned. "I SAW her once or twice, and I shouldn't have got,, her down as one to consort with the likes of Hooligan." Skinner remarked sagely that there was no accounting for the female taste, and added that having kept his promise it was time for him to be getting back to the Westi End. Tidmarsh assented, first, however,, insisting that his informant should have a drink with him in the bar. While they were negotiating the refreshment Tidmarsh sud- denly put his huge lips to the groom's ear and whispered- "There's one beggar I should like to wring the life out of before I attend to the noble lord. S'pose you can't put me on to him 34 well-the chap that acted bogus registrar at Bessie's sham marriage?" "No, I can't do that," snapped Skinner. shortly, and without a break in his voice. But a close observer would have noticed that his hand shook as he abruptly set down his, glass and with a curt good-night left the bar. He found the cab all right, but to his sur- prise it was in charge of the second loaler- the one who had got beaten in the scramble for his patronage—instead of the individual with the Irish accent to whom he had entrusted the equipage. "Why, what's become of the man I left the cab with?" he asked, eyeing the man sharply. "He was took bad, boss, and I agreed to finish the job," was the reply. "Him and me's pals, though business rivals, you see." But shortly after the smart turn-out had gone jingling round the corner into Upper- street the Hibernian wastrel reappeared mysteriously outside the Union Jack. He seemed to spring from nowhere in particu- lar, and his accent as he addressed his "busi- ness rival" no longer smacked of the Emerald Isle. "All right, sir, I hope?" said the ragged- looking ruffian who had relieved him of the care of the cab. "Might have been better," was the none too cheerful answer. "There was a. nasty wall to climb, and a baffling window that was closed just at the crucial moment. But I learned enough, Smart, to be swlvtbat we mustn't lose sight of Tidmarsh for a moment. He'll probably go up street to his home to-night, and you must stay and shadow the house. I will send another maa along to help you directly I get to the Yard, and I shall turn up myself first thing in the morning to put the job through to a finish. In the meanwhile if he should make a move wire me at headquarters at once, but don't lose touch with him, Smart, my son, if ever you hope to be promoted ser- geant." With which Mr. Inspector CroaJ shambled off into Upper-street with the gait of a born cab-tout and hailed a hansom, the driver of which stared contemptuously at him till he produced his face and whispered New Scotland Yard as his destination. "Right you are, guvnor," said the man. "You're faked up so natural that you must pardon me for shying at you. And you" da me a favour if yeoTI KINDLY term the east. cushions." Cre be seettanaft
