Markham meets Pfyfe ond draws him into conversa- ion, NOW BEGIN THE STORY Z Se ce CHAPTER XXIV Pfyfe made a mildly deprecating movement with his carefully mani- cured fingers. He was, he explain- ed with an air of ineffable self- complacency, only too glad to dis- commode himself to give aid to ser- vants of the public. A distressing necessity, to-be sure; but his man- ner conveyed unmistakably that he knew and recognized the obligations attaching to the dictum of noblesse oblige, and was prepared to meet| them. He looked at Markham with a self-congratulatory air, and his eye- brows queried: “What can I do for you?” though his lips did not move. “I understand from Major An- thony Benson,” Markham said, “that: you were very close to his brother, and therefore might be able to tell us something of his Personal af- fairs, or private social relationships, that would indicate a line of inves- tigation.” Pfyfe gazed sadly at the floor. “Ah, yes, Alvin and I were very close,—we were, in fact, the most intimate of friends. You can not imagine how broken up I was at Heaths of the dear fellow’s tragic end.” He gave the impression that here was a modern instance of Aeneas and Achates. “And I was deeply grieved at not being able to come at once to New York to put myself at the service of those that needed me.” “Lm sure it would have been a comfort to his other friends,” re- marked Vance, with cool politeness. “But in the circumst’nces ,you will} be forgiven.” Pfyfe blinked regretfully. “Ah, but I shall never forgive myself—though I cannot hold my- self altogether blameworthy. Only the day before the tragedy I had started on a trip to the Catskills. I had even asked dear Alvin to go along; but he was too busy.” Pfyfe shook his head as if la- menting the incomprehensible irony of life. “How much better—ah, how infinitely much better—if only—” “You were gone a very. short time,” commented Markham, inter- rupting what promised to be a hom- ily on perverse. providence. S “True,” Pfyfe. indulgently admit- ted. “But I met with a most unfor- tunate accident.” He polished his} a moment. “My car broke nd I was necessitated to re- “What road did you take?” asked leath, Pfyfe delicately adjusted his eye- glass, and regarded the sergeant with an‘ intimation of boredom. “My advice, Mr.—ah—Sneed—” “Heath,” the other corrected him surlily, “Ah, yes—Heat + +. My ad- vice, Mr. Heath, is, that if you are contemplating. a motor trip to the Catskills, bey apply to the Auto- mobile Club of America for a road- map. My choice of itinerary might He turned back to the district attorney with an air that -implied he preferred talking to an equal. Tell me, Mr. Pfyfe,” Markham asked; “aid Mr. Benson have any enemies?” The other appeared to think the matter over. “No-o. Not one, I should say, who would actually have killed him as a result of animosity. “You imply nevertheless that he bad enemies, Could you not tell us a little more?” Pfyfe passed his hand gracefully over the tips of his golden mus- tache, and then permitted his in- dex-finger Ao linger on his cheek in an attitude of meditative inde- cision, » * “Your vequest, Mr. Markham,”— he spoke with pained reluctance— “brings up a matter which I hesi- tate to discuss, But perhaps it is best, that I confide in you—as one gentleman to another.

Indeed—though it pains me to say it—he often took unfair ad- vantage of women. He used under- hand methods, as it were.” He paused, apparently shocked by this heinous imperfection of his | friend, and by the necessity of his own seemingly disloyal revelation. “Was it one of these women whom Benson had dealt with unfairly, that you had in mind?” asked Markham. “No—not the woman herself,” Pfyfe replied “but a man who was interested in her. In fact, this man threatened Alvin’s life. You will ap- preciate my reluctance in telling you this; but. my excuse is that the threat was made quite openly. There were several others besides myself who heard it.” “That, ‘of course, relieves you. from any technical breach of €- fidence,” Markham observed, Pfyfe acknowledged the other's understanding with a slight bow. “It happened at a little party of which I was the unfortunate host,” he confessed modestly. “Who was the man?” Markham’s tone was polite but firm. “You will comprehend my_reti- cence, . Pfyfe began. Then, with an air of righteous frankness, he leaned forward. “It might prove unfair to Alvin to withhold the gen- tleman’s name, . . . He was Cap- tain Philip Leacock.” He allowed himself the emotional cutlet of a sigh. “I trust you won't ask me for the lady’s name.” “It won’t be necessary,” Markham assured him, “But I’d appreci: your telling us a little more oF the episode.” Pfyfe complied with an expres- sion of patient resignation. “Alvin was considerably taken with the lady in question, and shop; ed her many attentions which weré, I am forced to admit, unwelcome. Captain Leacock resented these at- tentions; and at the little affair to which I had invited him and Alvin, some unpleasant and, I must say, unrefined words passed between them. “I fear the wine had been flowing too freely, for Alvin was always punctilious—he was a man, indeed, skilled in the niceties of social. in- tercourse; and the captain, in an outburst of temper, told Alvin that, unless he left the lady strictly alone in the future, he would pay with his life. The captain even went so far as to draw a revolver half-way out of his pocket.” “Was it a revolver, or un auto- matic pistol?” asked Heath. 3 Pfyie gave the district attorn a faint smile of annoyance, with- out deigning even to glance at the sergeant. “I misspoke myself; forgive me. It was not a revolver. It was, I believe, an automatic army pistol— though, you understand, I didn’t see it in its entirety. “You say there were others who witnessed the altercation?” “Several of my guests were stand- ing about,” Pfyfe explained; “but, on my word, I couldn’t name them. The fact is, I attached little im- portance to the threat—indeed, it had entirely slipped my memory un- til I read the account of poor Alvin's death. Then I thought at once of, the unfortunate incident, and said if myself: Why not tell the district attorney. . . 2?” “Thoughts that breathe and words that burn,” murmured Vance, who had been sitting through the inter- view in oppressive boredom.
