CHAPTER L
i
lilt opportunity enme to him this
evculnij.
It was at a carpet dance at the house
of Mrs. Venable, a friend of his uncle,
Mr. John Ordo, that Marcus Gray, a
young American over ou his travels,
having screwed his courage to the stick
ing place, proposed to Mary Lumsden,
the eldest daughter of a well to do city
merchant. They had met several times
in the coarse of the preceding month,
and it had not taken Gray long to dis
cover that in Miss Lumsden he had
lighted ou the girl who, for him, was
"the fairest flower the sun shone on."
His opportunity had come to him this
evening, when he and Mary by some
happy chance found themselves alone
in the curtained embayment of a pro
jecting window. At any moment they
might be disturbed by some other stray
couple in search of a quiet nook, and
what Gray had to Bay, if he did not wish
the occasion to slip through his ringers,
must be brief and to the point.
Presumably it was so, in view of the
fact that not more than three minutes
elapsed from the time of our people find
ing themselves alone in the alcove to
that of their emergence. It may fur
ther be assumed that their conversation,
brief as it was, had not proved unsatis
factory to either of them, seeing that,
as Miss Lumsden's partner for the next
dance came np to claim her, Gray con
trived to whisper in her ear, "I will call
npon your father in the course of to
morrow." Mention has been made of Marcus
Gray's uncle, Mr. Orde.
John Orde's dearest friend was Ed
ward Lumsden, Mary's father. Their
friendship dated back to their cchool
days. They took to each other, as the
saying is, from the first so much bo in
deed that some portion of the holiday
of each was generally spent at the home
of the other. When the lime came for
them to push their fortuuesin the world,
the city of London acted as a load itono
to both; Lnmsden found a stool ia the
office of a drysaltery firm in Upper
Thames street, while Orde went under
the tutelage of his father, whose busi
ness was that of a shipbroker. Years
passed, bringing with th;m their inevita
ble changes and vicissitudes, but in no
wise interrupting the enrrent of their
friendship. In the course of time Orde
succeeded to his father's position, while
Lumsden started in business on his own
account, and to neither cf them did
fortune prove unkind.
We come now to a certain memorable
ninth of June, tin; duy immediately fol
lowing that of Mrs. Veuable's carpet
dance. Both Lumsden and Orde had
deemed it advisable a little while b 'fore
to put themselvea in telephonic connec
tion with such of their customers and
agents as preferred to specify their wants
and wishes through tint ready medium
of communication, and accordingly a
wire had been laid on the premises of
each. Although Lumpen and Orde were
in noway related in business affairs, they
frequently u.sed the telephone for mes
sages about private matters, such as a lit
tle while before would have necessitated
the writing of a note or the transmission
of a telegram. For instance, Lumsden,
having got himself "switched on" at
the exchange, would telephone Orde
an invitation to dinner or a request
to join him at his club at a cer
tain hour, while Orde. on his part,
would inform LumsdcD through the
same mediuui th.it he had just had tick
ets sent him for a concert or the thea
ter, and would specify when and where
r N '.nWf 1 'i

waer
he would looa to meet nis menu ana
wife unless they happened to be other
wise engaged.
At twenty minutes totwoo'clock on the
afternoon of the aforesaid J uue ninth, the
telephone bell in Mr. Orde's private
office signaled that some one was de
sirous of speaking with him. Mr. Max,
one of the Btaff, whose duty it was to
attend to the instrument during his em
ployer's auseuce, at once responded to
the summons, which was followed up
by the usnal preliminary question, "Are
you there?"
To this Max replied with the stereo
typed. "Yes; who are your"
"Lumsden," was the answer. Then,
evidently recoguizing that the voice was
not his friend's, "Is not Mr. Orde there?"
he queried.
"At present he is out, sir," replied
Max; "but 1 am expecting him back
every moment."
"In that case 1 will keep the connec
tion open, for a few minutes. Tellium
to signal me immediately he returns."
"All right, sir," responded Max, and
with that the conversation came to an
end for the time being.
8o far as could lie ascertained after
ward, it would seem to have been
Lnmsden's intention to ask Orde to meet
him at his club and dine with him, ids
wile and daughter being under an en
gagement to accompany some friends
that evening to a concert.
Four minutes later Mr. Orde pushed
open the swing doors of the outer office
aud was at once informed by Max of
the conversation that had passed be
vveen himself and Mr. Lumsden. (Jo
ng forward into his room he took up
ihe telephone tube with the intention of
.ignaling to his friend that he was there
and at his service. The tube was iu his
hand, and lie was on the point of put
ting it to his lips when a sound which
reached him through it arrested his at
tention aud caused him to clap it to his
ear instead. What he heard sounded to
him like an inarticulate cry, as it might
be, of surprise or fear, followed, the mo
ment the tube touched his ear, by the
words, "Oh. Harry, Harry this from
yon!" Close upon which came a groan,
then a dull thud as of some heavy body
falling, and last of all, after a brief
silence, but very faintly, what seemed
like the clashing of a door.
For a few moments longer Mr. Orde
stood with the tube glued to his ear like
a man stupefied, but no further sound of
any kind reached him. Then his wits
came back to him in some measure. He
gave the signal he had been on the point
of giving before and waited, with a sick
ening suspense impossible to describe,
for a response. But none came. Again
he signaled, and again he waited: but
with a like result, or rather with no re
sult at all. The tube dropped from his
lingers and he sank into his chair utterly
dazed and confounded.
What had happened to his friend?
Had he been the unwitting auditor of a
tragedy in which Lumsden bad played
the part of victim? tf nothing had hap
pened, why had the latter failed to re
spond to his summons? But the need for
ascertaining, beyond the possibility of
doubt, whether his fears had any foun
dation in fact was a spur to immediate
action. He rang and ordered a hansom
to be fetched with all speed. While
waiting for it he signaled again through
the instrument, hoping against hope to
hear his friend's cheery "Uallool" in re
turn, but the silence that ensued was as
the silence of the grave. It was with a
heart replete with forelxding the most
dire that, a few minutes later, he found
himself on his way to Saint Augustine's
alley, in which narrow but important
thoroughfare Lumsden's offices were
situated.
But quick as he had been In reaching
the scene, the tragedy which had been)
enacted there for nothing less did if
prove to be had already Ix-come public
property. The premises were in charge
of the police, while the alley itself was
blocked by a surging crowd of men ami
youths, each and all anxious to glean
the latest particulars of a crime so
startling and mysterious, for it is not
often that a merchant of the oity of
London is murdered in his own ofliuo in
broad daylight.
On the oblong mahogany table, at
which he had sat for so many honrs
every week day, lay the dead body of
Edward Lumsden, a terrible wound on
his left temple, as if cansed by some
blunt instrument, revealing to all pres
ent the nature of the foul play to which
he had fallen a victim.
The particulars of the affair, so far as
they had yet been ascertained, were as
follows:
It bad been Mr. Lnmsden's practice
to cnarge nunseit wit a tne care oi me
establishment during luncheon time,
which was limited to half an hour,
when, as a rule, he and an olllce boy
were the sole occupants of the ground
floor, which comprised a couple of rooms
Lumsden's own office and a much
larger one for the use of the staff. On
this ninth of June, about five minutes
after the half dozen clerks had left in a
body, the office boy, Houghton by name,
was sent by his master with a note to
the head of a firm some distance away,
and, according to his own account, was
gone just a quarter of an hour, during
which time it must have been that
Lumsden tried to open up a communica
tion with his friend by telephone. On
the lad's return he was horrified at find
ing his master's body stretched lifeless
on the floor. It was evident that Lams
den had been struck down while seated
close to the telephone waiting for the
signal that Orde had returned. Appear
ances led to the conclusion that the safe
had been hurriedly rifled of whatever
notes and gold it might have contained,
the door being open and the floor littered
with documents of various kinds. So
far all inquiries had failed to elicit the
slightest evidence of any oue, either a
stranger or otherwise, having been seen
to enter or leave the premises between
the time of Houghton's quitting them
and his return. And there, for the
present, the affair rested.
As the dead man's oldest friend it
now became James Orde's unenviable
duty to break the terrible tidings to his
wife aud family.
CHAPTER a
"Hello, Garry; you hercV
Marcus Gray bad taken his ticket at
Victoria Station and two more minutes
would have seen him in the train on his
way to Streatham, where the Lumsdens
lived, when his attention was attracted
by the placard of an evening newspaper.
"Mysterious Murder This Day of a City
Merchant" was the startling announce
ment which Btared him in the face.
Now, his uncle was a city merchant,
one of thousands of others, and that of
itself was enough to cause him to invest'
a penny in the purchase of a paper.
It is enough to say that Gray did noi)
go to Streatham that day. nor for many
weeks afterwatv
Some days passed without any evi
dence on which the police could act be
ing forthcoming, other than that which
their first crude investigation had
brought to light. That the safe had
been rifled there was no longer any
doubt, seeing that neither a note nor a
coin of any kind was found in it; but in
view of the fact that Mr. Lnmsden had
been in the habit of keeping all cash
matters connected with the business in
bis own hands, it was difficult to ascer
tain with any degree of exactitude nntil
certain books should have been gone
through what moneys he had in hand at
the time he came by his death. The
chances, however, were that the sum
was not a large one, the dead man hav
ing lieen in the habit of banking day by
day Mr. May, the managing clerk, had
no knowledge of any cash having been
paid to his employer on the morning of
the ninth; but, on the other hand,
Honghton averred that on taking some
letters into his master's room about
eleven o'clock he found there a gentle
man dressed in deep mourning and an
entire stranger to him, who, at the mo
ment of his entering, was in the act of
handing a number of bank notes across
the table to Mr. Lumsden. The notes
in question were not now to be fonnd;
no entry of them had been made in the
cash book; neither could Mr. May throw
any light on the ixirantiality of the man

good spring of water On it, all under
At the inquest, which was more than
once adjourned in the hope that farther
evidence would presently be forthcom
ing, a verdict of "willful murder against
some person or persons unknown" was
eventually returned. The funeral had
taken place some days before.
Mr. Orde did not fail to impart to In
spector Fountain, who had charge of the
affair on the part of the police, the par
ticulars of what he had so strangely
beard through the medium of the tele
phone. The inspector appeared to be
much struck thereby and made ample
entries in his notebook. There waa rea
son for believing that during the next
few days he devoted a considerable por
tion of his time to endeavoring to ascer
tain whether the murdered man had
been on intimate terms with any one,
either a friend or a relative, whose bap
tismal name was Harry or Henry, but
all snch inquiries proved of no avail.
To his initiative it was dne that an ad
vertisement was inserted in The Times
and other newspapers requesting that
should tne same meet the eye of the per
son who on the morning of the ninth of
June paid the late Mr. Edward Lums
den, of Saint Augustine's alley, a sum of
money in bank notes he wonld at once
communicate with the polices but time
went on and the advertisement seemed
likely to remain a dead letter. That
the merchant had come by his denth at
the hands of some one who was aware that
at that hour of the day he and the office
