-=: THE PEER AND THE WOMAN. I BY E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM. klktOTEP. M.—GOD'S VENGEANCE WOULD BE TOO SLOW. Th • 1(*ea of murder in the abstract fcas so familiar to us from its frequent Potion by the novelist and the columns of 4bw that it is rather difficult for an »j, Aginative person to realise its full horrors. so thoroughly we must picture to our- someone near and very dear to us 'Ut snatched from oui- xnidst and hurried e^ernity by such means. If we can do may be able to understand in some t measure the agony of horrified grief, ^7 tie burning desire for vengeance, lc^ Bernard Clanavon felt as he slowly :t!:l gQn to realise what had happened. It did fe titan make itself felt; it crept into his 6 being like morphia let into an opened jjj" au(j other thought and Pll"e before it. The relations between him father had beea exactly typical of Jfe^ations which exist between the majority 9 Ish fathers and English eons. There igw little or no sentiment, and out^arJ essions of affection had been very rare them. Yet underneath the superficial indifference there had been » strong Prooal affection, seldom manifesting any more pronounced manner than *• cordiality, but still an existent and" feeling which this hideous tra^ed^, had fanned almost into a passion. And so, naturally enough, when the first shock of the interview was over, and the sight of her son had quieted a little his mother's grief, be withdrew himself from her embrace and asked the c^estion which was burning within him- "Is there any clue, mother? Do you know who has done-this thing?" They were alone in Lady Alceston's bou- doir, a small, octagonal apartment oung vith amber satin, and furnished with all the soft luxury which perfect taste and unlimited wealth could devise. It was a room sacred to women—even Lord Alceston fiimsoif had e*'dont entered it-and, Bernard Clanavon looked curiously out of place sjanc.'ng up erect among the low velvet-covered fauteuils, the delicate knick-knacks, and softly-flashing mirrors, with a terribly fierce look upon his white, eorrow-stricken face, anl- his eyes fixed upon his mother's bowed form full of a. j dry, burning light. She withdrew her handkerchief from her face, and, looking up, shuddered. "Bernard, don't iook like that," she pleaded. I would rather see you cry." He turned his face away from her w:th a slight gesture of impatience, but its expres- sion was unaltered. I "Crying is a woman's office, mother," he said in a low tone. "There is something else I for a man to think about here. You have not 1 answered my question." "Neillson has disappeaxed," she eaid, slowly. "There is nothing else." "Neillson I Neillson!" he repeated, half in wonderment, half in contempt. "Neillson guilty of —oh, that is all nonsense! I would as soon suspect myself." "Nevertheless, he has disappeared," she re- peated. "He was the last person who saw your father alive, and "But it couldn't possibly have been Neill- son," he interrupted, firmly. "Why, a more simple-minded old fellow never breathed. You can't believe this yourself, mother." The hand which clutched her handkerchief trembled violently, and she seemed to answer with great difficulty. "I—I don't know. It is all so strange and horrible. Why should anyone-oh, Bernard, Bernard, ask me no more questions, she burst out sobbing violently. He waited until she was more composed, standing perfectly motionless, his fair, beard- less face set and rigid and full of a terrible determination, looking, in the sweet, subdued light thrown upon it by the tinted and heavily-shaded fairy lamps, like a piece of exquisite statuary. "It was not Neillson," he said, quietly, when at last his mother removed the handker- chief from her eyes. "The utter absence of motive alone would make such an idea absurd." She seemed still struggling with her agita- tion, but she answered him: "Bernard, ahe said, "I cannot discuss this with you. The—the inquest is to-morrow. Wait till then." Her evident pain seemed fc» touch him, for he stooped down and kissed her. Then he moved towards the door". "Where are you going '?" she asked. He paused on the threshold. "To Mr. Brudnellj's office and then to Scotland Yard to see what is being done." She turned away from his with a gesture of horror. "Bernard," she cried, passionately, "it seems to me that grief is second in your thoughts to vengeance!" He shook his head. "It's the difference between a man's grief and a woman's mother, that's all. Yours is passive, racking your body and filling your tboughts and remaining there. Mine is a giief which calls out for action of some aort -for vengeance." He shook his head. She stood up with her hand stretched out towards him, beautiful still, for all her grey hair, and her marble white countenance—beau- tiful in her perfect features and the solemn majesty of her attitude and gesture. "Bernard," she cried, "vengeance belongs to God xnd not co man! He himself has said it. I command you to desist from the purpose .vh:ch you have in your heart, which is written in your face!" There was something intensely dramatic in the quickly-spoken words, and in her sudden transformation from a weeping, sorrowful woman to a dignified queen of tragedy, with all the fire of command ringing lu her pas- sionate words. But she might as well have oried to the A-alls. "I am your son, mother, and in anything else I would obey you. But I was his son, too! God's vengeance would be too slow for me," he added, bitterly. Then he left her, and in a moment she was a broken-hearted woman again, sobbing wildly among the soft cushions of her low chair, and talking t oherself in broken tones. "My God, my God," she moaned, "what shall I do-oh, what shall I do?" CHAPTER IV. THE INQUEST AT GROSVENOR- SQUARE. An inquest on the body of a peer of the realm is not an everyday occurrence. The coroner, who sat at the head of the long mahogany table, looked a shade graver and more impressed with the solemnity of his office than usual, and the same feeling was reflected in the solid-looking faces of his twelve subordinates as they were marshalled to their seats. Many of them had served on a jury before, but never in connection with such a sensational case, and there was a certain sense of ponderous satisfaction upon their faces as they drew close up to the table, almost as though they felt some- thing akin to pleasure in the notoriety which their office would bring them. But there was sanguine sympathy among them not- withstanding, and more than one cast a pitying glance at Lord Clanavon, who sat a little apart in a high-backed oak chair. It was a gloomy scene. Apart from the J inevitable solemnity of it, the surroundings t were in themselves depressing. Outside a thick, yellow fog had setled upon the squares and streets—a penetrating fog which defied the drawn venetian blinds and heavily-draped curtain, and which hung about in a little mist around the circular glass globes and impreg- nated the whole atmosphere of the long room, which was at no time one of the most cheerful. It certainly could not have been said that the countenances of the twelve men, or their surroundings, were in any way out of keeping with the dreary nature of their duty. Both were funereal. The silence was broken at last by the coroner, who in a low tone formally intro- duced the jury to their duties. Then the first witness, William Rogers, was called, and a tall, liveried footman answered the summons and took up a respectful attitude before the table. The coroner commenced his examination at once. "Your name is William Rogers?" "Yes, sir." "What position do you hold in the house- hold?" "First footman, sir." "How long have you been in the service of your deceased master?" "About three years." "You were the first person to enter the library and discover your master's body, I believe?" "I was, eir." "You had better tell us how it was, and by whose orders you went there." "Very good, sir. It was about seven o'clock in the morning when I was woke up by a knocking at my dor. I sat up in bed at once, and called out, 'Who's therer Her ladyship's maid, Marie Richards, answered me. I can't remember her exact words, but she said as her ladyship had sent her to tell me to go down to the master's study at once to see why he had not come up to bed. I asked her why she did not. go to Neillsou, which was his lordship's own man, and she replied that she had been, but she couldn't wake him, which, knowing as Neillson, who used to share the same room with me, was a very heavy sleeper, I warn't surprised at. 'All right,' I sung out; 'I'll be down in a moment'; and I hurried into some clothes as fast as I could. When I got outside she was a-waiting on the landing for me, quite impatient like, and we went down together. I knocked first at the study door several times, but there was no answer; so I told Marie that his lordship had very likely gone straight to his own room, instead of going in to see her ladyship. I left her there and went up to see, but the room was quite empty, and the bed had not been slept in. So I came down a little flurried like and told Marie to go and tell her ladyship and ask what we were to do. Her ladyship sent down at once that we were to get in the study somehow at once, even if we had to break open the door. So I sent Marie for Thomas, the under footman, and together we forced the door open." The man paused for a moment as though to take breath, and when he resumed it was in a low, awed tone. Low though it was, however, it was distinctly heard, for every one was holding his breath and listening in an intense hushed silence. The room was quite dark except for just one ray of light which was streaming in from the window, just where the curtains, which had been pulled together, didn't meet ouite, and that single gleam of light just fell upon his lordship's face. Gentlemen, you must excuse—one moment, please. It was an awful sight!" The man's voice was checked by something very much like a sob. and he shuddered. There was a slight murmur of sympathy, during which he -topped his uamp forehead with a handkerchief and slowly recovered his composure. Presently he drew himself up to his former attitude 2 ad continued — "I'm much obliged to you, gentlemen, for giving me breathing tune. If any of you had seen the sight as I saw when that door fell in, you'd understand it flaking me feel a bit queer. I'll try and tell you what H was like. His lordship seemed to be all slouched down in his writing chair, but his head was hanging right backward like, over the side a little, and was hanging down almost toward the grouud. There was a great gap like between the neck and chin. I and as we stood there we could hear the slow drip, drip of the blood upon the floor; yet somehow it didin't seem as though he was ¡ dead, for his eyes were wide, staring open. Marie, she went off into hysterics something awful, and Thomas, he wur trembling so that he couldn't neither move nor nothing else. I felt mortal bad myself, but I went up and touched his hand, and found that it was quite cold, and then I saw the three scratches and bruises on his cheek like finger- marks. I saw that he was dead at once, but I told Thomas to be off as quick as ever he could and fetch a doctor and a police- man. I stood near the door while he was j gone, and then when the sergeant came and Dr. Benton they locked up the room. That's all, sir." He ceased with an evident gesture of relief. He was an unimaginative, phlegmatic man, of the very commonplace type of Engine men servants, and without any particular affection for his master; but his share in this tragedy, as yet so recent, had been like a nightmare to him, and the recapitulation of it had p<?itated him strongly- They gave him a little time to recover himself before they asked him any questions. Then the coroner ceased taking notes, and sddressel him. "Did you notice anything disarranged in the study—any signs of a struggle?" "Yes, sir. There was something of the sort. The curtain hanging over his lord- ship's private door. which led out into Berke- ley-street, was half torn down and a small table with some books on, between his lordship's desk and the door, was up- set." "Nothing else?" "Nothing else that I can remember, sir. The policeman and the gentleman from Scotland Yard they took possession of the room as soon as they arrived, and locked it up." The usual number of irrelevant and utterly useless questions were asked by certain jury- men of an inquisitive turn of mind, to some of which the coroner listened with ill-con- cealed impatience. Then the witness was dismissed, and, well trained though his features were, his relief was manifest. Marie Richards was next called. Her evidence simply corroborated that of her fellow-servant, and no questions were asked her. Then the Countess of Harrowdean was sent for, and after a little delay appeared., (To be Continued.)
