THE MAXWELL MYSTERY

(Copyright, The Frank A Munsey Co.)

CHAPTER 11. » ‘ Death Dances to Music. As Mildred had foretold, there were many planned-for pleasures to be crowded into the next two it was Monday evening before time could be found for the proposed musicale. —. / _ “Now,” said Philip, as after a late dinner a few of us st roll ed into the music room. “Now I’ll show you how to produce an instantaneous concert.” In less than half an hour Philip had issued orders, by telephone, to several musical neighbors to report at once for duty; had arranged chairs and music stands, and was rapidly selecting piece after piece of music from a cabinet when the guests arrived. A merry musical was the result. Not a formal concert, but desultory snatches of song, violin obligatos or inprovisions, and now and then a rousing chorus or banjo quartet. The guests from the village were all well known to me, and one of them, Dr. Sheldon, was a good friend of mine. He was a young man, but one who had made his mark. For some unaccountable reason people always confided in me. Philip said it was because of the ridiculous habit f had of pretending to be interested in their foolish troubles or plans. On this particular evening I was destined to receiye two confidences from .separate sources, but about the same person, which caused me no little surprise and anxiety. fMiss Maxwell was the first to unburden her mind to me. Before the guests arrived I chanced to see her sitting alone in the drawing room, and I went and sat by her for a few moment’s chat. - She seemed preoccupied, and after some perfunctory remarks she said: “Peter, there is something wrong with Philip. I can’t imagine what it is, but for a week or more he has been so different. It began all at once. _7-_ “One day last week he came to luncheon so harassed- and worried that my heart ached for him. I said nothing about it—we are not confidential as a family, you know—l only tried to be especially gentle and tender toward him. But he didn’t get over it. He spoke sharply to his uncle, he failed to show his usual deferential courtesy to me and he behaved altogether like a man stunned and bewildered by some sudden misfortune.

“I talked to his uncle about it when we were alone, and he, too, had noticed it, but could not account for it in any way. He thought perhaps it might be money difficulties of some sort, and he offered to increase Philip’s, allowance. But Philip refused to accept an increase and said he had no debts and plenty of spending money. So we are at our wit’s end to understand it.” “Could it have, anything to do with Miss Leslie?” I asked. “I think so,” replied Miss Miranda, looking about to make sure we were not overheard. “He is very much in love with her, and I think she cares for him, but she is such a coquettish little rogue that one cannot be sure of her. Besides, this trouble of Philip began before he planned this house party 1 and before he thought of inviting Miss Leslie and her sister down here.” “Does he talk frankly to you about Mildred?” “Oh! yes, he hopes to win her—indeed, he says he feels confident of succeeding. But I think he tries to persuade himself that he will succeed, while really she is breaking his heart over her flirtation with Gilbert Crane.” “Gilbert Crane!” I exclaimed, greatly surprised. _ ' “Yes, our fellow-townsmen and one of Philip’s best; friends.” “But he can’t hold a candle to Philjp” “I know it Philip is rich, or will be, and Philip is handsome and talented, while Gilbert is none of these. But somehow he has a queer sort of fascination over Mildred, and she is certainly very gracious to him.” “You think, then, to put it plainly, that Gilbert is trying to win Mildred away from Philip?” “I do, and I think Philip is as much hurt by Gilbert’s treachery as by Mildred’s fickleness. But I cannot think that it is this affair that worried Philip so last week. For then Mildred hadn’t come and Gilbert was right here

all the time, and he and Philip were inseparable. No, it’s something else, and I can’t imagine what. < I assured the dear old lady that I would try in every possible way to discover what the matter was, and then the violins began to tune and we went across the hall to the music room. Mr. Maxwell came in to listen to the impromptu concert Though slightly deaf, he had a fine ear for music, and greatly enjoyed a good performance. I saw him glance at Philip several times, and, if the boy were smiling, the old gentleman’s anxiety seemed relieved, but if Phil were overquiet or sober looking Mr. Maxwell sighed and glanced away again. - = - - —— The music room was the front room on the right as one entered the great hall that ran through the center of the house. Back of it was the dining room and back of that a cross-hall, a butler’s pantry, and, in an ell, the kitchens and servants’ sitting room. On the left of the wide hall, the front room was the drawing room. Then the billiard room; back of that Mr. Maxwell’s study, and back of that the conservatory. The large library was on the second floor, and was in many ways the most attractive room in the house. There were bedrooms on both the second and third floors, so that Maxwell Hall was well adapted for generous hospitality. A broad veranda ran all around three sides of the house both on the ground floor and second story, and on it, from most of the rooms opened long French windows. Later in the evening I walked with Irene Gardiner on the upper balcony, and we reveled in the beauty of the scene spread out before us.

Irene Gardiner puzzled white she attracted me. I never could feel quite sure whether she was as frank as she seemed, or not. Perhaps it was only the natural effect or her dark, almost Oriental beauty, but she somehow seemed capable of diplomacy or intrigue. We traversed the three long sides of the house on the upper balcony and then turning, retraced our steps. Frequently we met or passed other couples or groups df young people, and exchanged merry, bantering words. At last Irene paused at the southeast end of the balcony, and we sat down on a wicker settee. “Mr. King,” she said abruptly, “don’t you think it’s a shame the way Mildred treats Mr. Maxwell ” I was surprised at the question, but had no intention of committing myself to this mystifying young woman. “Who can criticise the ways of such an enchanting fairy as Miss Leslie?” I replied lightly. “Do you think her so fascinating?” The question was wistful and very earnestly asked. “She is both beautiful and charming, and she has completely bewitched Philip,” I said. -—7 “Yet she does not really care for him,” cried Irene passionately. “She adores Gilbert Crane, but she leads Philip on, and is breaking his noble, splendid heart, merely for her own amusement.” “Phil will certainly find it out for himself, and soon. But I think he will convince her that she has only a passing fancy for Crane, and that he himself is really her destined fate.” I tried to speak gaily, for I did not wish to take the . subject seriously. But in a low, tense voice Irene exclaimed:

“It shall never be! Philip Maxwell shall not throw himself away on a heartless little coquette who doesn’t know how to value him! Since you refuse to help me, I will take matters into my own hands!” I was amazed at her Intensity of speech, but still trying to treat it all lightly, I said: “That is your privilege, fair lady. Come, let us return to the music room. I want to hear you sing again.” “You go down, please Mr. King,” she said, and her voice was quieter. “Leave me here for a little, and I will rejoin you soon.” As she seemed to be very much in earnest, I entered the house by the long French window into the front met Miss Miranda just going to ner own room. “Leaving us?” I inquired, smiling at her. “Yes,” she said. “Good night, then,” I said gently,, “and I trust you will rise tomorrow morning refreshed and happy.” “I hope so,” she said. “Good night." As I hurried to go downstairs I heard voices in the library, which I realized were those of Philip and Miss Leslie. With no intention of eavesdropping, I couldn’t help hearing him say: ’ “Don’t trifle-with me tonight, Mildred; I am desperate.” 't’he tone more than the words struck a chill to my heart, and I hastened downstairs lest I should hear more of a conversation not meant for me. A crowd'of people were in the music room, but somehow I didn't feel like joining them. I wandered back through the long hall, and looked into the open door of Mr. Maxwell’s study. “Come in my boy, come ta and

•moke a pipe with me: if you are tired of,, your young and somewhat noisy companions.” "No,” said I, going into the room, “not now, Mr. Maxwell. You finish your paper, and later I’ll drop in for a smoke. I’d like very much to have a talk with you.” “About Philip?” he asked, looking 'at me with a concerned air. “Yes,” said I, “but don’t be apprehensive. Indeed, I think we may have cause to congratulate the boy before the evening is over. He and Miss Leslie are even now in the library, and I hope that they will arrive at a happy understanding.” “Good, Mr. King, good,” said the old man in his kindly, pleasant way. “Let us hope for the best.” .... ■I went on through the study, and, lifting the portiere, passed into the billiard room. Here I found Gilbert Crane, alone, and sitting with has face buried in his hands in an attitude of dejection. I suddenly realized that, as I was obliged to speak to Mr. Maxwell in a loud, clear voice, on account of his deafness, Mr. Crane must necessarily have heard what I said. He looked up as I entered, and his face showed bitter despair. He said nothing, however, and as I had nothing particular to say to him, I went on to the music room. The singers were now in full voice and I joined in the chorus. We drifted into rag-time music, and what with the various stringed instruments, and the hilarious young voices, I fear waxed almost boisterous. Suddenly Gilbert Crane appeared in the doorway. His face was white with terror and wild with fright, and he cried: “Dr. Sheldon, Philip and Mildred have shot each other! Come up to the library. Quick!” (To be Continued.)

Ask your arithmetic teacher at school to double the number of his pupils, add 3, multiply this sum by 5 add to it the number of pupils absent on that day, multiply the result by TO, add to it the number of his own aunts, and then tell you his answer. From his ansjver you subtract 150 and the remainder will be the correct number of his pupils present and absent and the number of his aunts as well. For example: Supposing the number of pupils is 6, doubled equals 12, plus 3 equals 15, multiplied by 5 equals 75, plus 3 equals 78, multiplied by 10 equals 780, plus 3 equals 783. Subtracting 150 from 783 leaves 633. Therefore you can safely announce to your teacher that he has 6 pupils, 3 absent pupils and 3 aunts. The trick is charming and never fails to be accurate and amusing.
