~ RIPPLING RUBY A Thrilling Mystery Story By J. S. FLETCHER CHAPTER 1 The General Dealer. How it came about that on that Particular springtide morning 1 was stranded on the Clarence pier - at Portsmouth with, lterally, a few Pence in my pocket, is immaterial to the present purpose: the more perti- nent fact is that there I was, in that miserable predicament. with none to turn to for immediate help, and ut- terly blank of mind as to what was Text to be done. ‘1 had paid out two ©f my last coppers to obtain entrance to that pier—there was a vague no- tion that I might pick up some porter- ¢ @ge job there which would bring in a shilling. With a shilling I could send a tele- £ram to the only man 1 knew who would be likely to wire me money— he was the last resource: for 1 had already pawned my watch and my overcoat, and, hourly expecting a re- mittance which up ‘to then had not @rrived. had not had the sens: to make the application by letter which ! was now feverishly angious to make by telegraph. one coming oft a boat at that pier who would give a shilling to have @ bag carried—I would undertake the job with fervor. But at the end « an hour T was still unempioyed. and was thinking of trying the railway stations: then, very suddenly, the man came on the scenc who plunged me headlong into action and adven- ture. He was coming away from the win- dew of the -icket #h where vou book for Ryde and Cowes and South- Afl:fl"lon. this man, and he carried a ticket in his hand «nd was clearly « linconicious that it was there. A\ big, heavily-built fellow in u dark blue serge suit, topped by a rather sport- ing sort of overcoat, he luoked to me like a well-to-do publican, o haps, a hookmaker: there ' wa Air about him. But just then, ever he was, his great idea was cer- lainly to do something or get some- where in a tremendous hurry: his €Yes, us he came out on the open pier, were all over the place at once, tak ing in the misty coast line on the op- nosite side of the water, looking up the water itself as if in search of the Ryde boat, which even then was churning its way toward us, and the glancing first over one shoulder an the next over the other as if he either (Xpected or feared to encourter Yomebody.

Tut my wits had been sharpened by pri- vation during the last two daye. and “-I},,lm” more ado I stepped up to him. Can 1 take that somewherc for You. sir?"

Angiag “I'd be glad of the chance of earn- Ing a few shillings.” T answered hur- riedly. ‘Stranded—unexpectedly— you understand. T'll carry your note for you—and you can trust me.” He ad evidently made up his mind to do that, for without another word he plunged a hand—there were two or three big. be-diamonded rings on its rudgy fingers—into his trousers pocket and pulled it out again full of kold. And picking out a sovereign with no more concern than if it had , been a shilling, he thrust it into my * " hand with the bit of folded paper. “Look you here. iy lad he said, confidentially. “There's a_name on that paper—Holliment., That's the chap it's for—Holliment.

He made for the boat, and without a backward glance T hurried off that * pier, lighter of heart than I had been for forty-eight hours. ~A sovcreign! —for ten minutes’ walk. T went away toward High street feeling as if the Bank of England had suddenly be- come my sole property. Turning a corper. and chancing to look sea- ward saw the smoke of the Steamer ‘rolling away _ in _the sharp breeze—my man was there seudding gally across the wate Whither?—and why in such a hurry —in so much of a hurry, indeed. that he had forgotten to send the scrap of paper which was now in my Pocket—a missive that was evidently of so much importance that he was glad to have it carried at any cost. Sharpened in perception as 1 was b hunger (for I had had no breakfast, and had gone very short the day be- fore), T knew that the man was in- tensely relieved to get rid of that note and parted with his sovereign right willingly. 1 began to get curious about twisted, crumpled scrap of paper. Who *was Holliment? What was this highly important message? What did the whole thing mean? ' Before 1 came to High street, my inquisitive- ness got the better of me: I pulled out the cocked hat and turned it over two or three times. 1 saw then that it was a plece of paper hurriedly torn out of a cheap account book— a poor quality paper, the first stuff that had lain to hand. And I felt no great compunction, things being as they were, in unwrapping it and looking at whatever might be writ- ten inside—there was already a spice of mystery about this adventure, and Wherever there is mystery there is danger; 1 wanted to know what I Was in for, in some degree. Standing for a second in the open street, 1 read all that was written. Two words, heavily underscored: Clean Away. There was nothing else. No name; no address; nothing. 1 was as wise as ever. folding the torn leaf into its original lines, I slipped it into my pocket again, and crossing the High street, plunged into the slums which lie between it and the Hard. There are some queer places in Portsmouth, and it seemed to me that Holliment, whoever he was, lived in one of the queerest. It was quite evident, however, that he was known pretty well, and after various turn- ings to right and turnings to left, T saw his name in dirty white let: ters on a black sign which formed one of the chief lanemarks in a pe- Culiarly squalid street. The sign was displayed above the windows of a low-roofed. one-storted place, half <hop, half shed; this was flanked by & Much higher, tower-like erectio whioh I took to be an old sail-loft; & 'he name was on that. too, in smaller letters on a smaller signboard. In the wall of the lower building was & double door. wide open to the Titeet, and when i walked inside it 1'%w at once that Holliment's bus- this There might be some- | iness of general dealer was a wide and various one, for I never set eyes on such a collection of ancient stuff as that which he had gathered about him: the place was a scrap-heap, a dumping ground of all sorts of rub- bish. from once gaily-colored figure- heads to rusty nails. The only thing that looked at all modern was a freshly-painted placard hung on the window of a sort of office; it announced that orders for coal were taken there, and gave a list of current prices. But just then there was no one in this office, nor in the glaam of the shedlike, much- cumbered place, and 1 had waited and rapped for some minutes before a man came out of the shadows and approached me—a short, fattist, fur- tive-eved man, in his shirt sleeves, who obviously wondered what I was latter. 1 pulled out the note. “Mr. Holliment?" I asked. “That's me, sir,” replicd the man ‘A gentleman whom 1 met on the Clarence pier, who was in a hurry o catch the boat, asked me to give this to you.” T continued. came stralght to you with it; he seemed anxious that you should have it at once. 1 placed the note tn his very dirty hands and stood by watching him narrowly as he somewhat clumsily opened it. [ should say that he was ordinarily a man who could keep a compressed countenamce, concealing his feelings very well, but on this occasion he was obviously taken too sharply to hide anything. His puffy face turned the color of 4 dead thing —it made me think for the instant of those calves’ heads that lie on the butchers' stalls—and when a shade of life came back to it, it was a gray, dull shade. His hands shook suddenly, and he omsy half checked an exclamation. And at that I af- fected to see nothng, turning away. But suddenly I feft tnat he was re- garding me “Do you know him who gave vou this?" he asked quickly. Not at_all” said 1. “Stranger to me—and T fo him. The fact is, I was looking for a job, and 1 saw he wanted that taken somewhere, so I offered to take it.” . ‘He give vou anything?’' he in- quired, looking me over. pretty much as the other man had done. “If you want to know," I answered, ‘he did! He gave me a 'sovereign.” No surprise came into his face. In- stead, he suddenly made a movement toward his coat, which hung on a nail close by. He began shuffing nto it “Look here!" he said. “T've got to &0 out—business! Over that!" He pointed to the scrap of paper, which he had erumpled up and flung away on the floor. “Some hours T've got to be out—can't help it You. say you were looking for a job? Stop here and give an eye to things till I_come back—tonight itll be. Tl give you another quid—and there's nothing to do.” What is there to do? ‘an T do it?" = “There's nothing to do—but_stick here,” he responded quickly. “Keep- ing an eye on things. 1f anybody comes for any of this old stuff, let ‘em have what they want and take their names and what they've got. 1f anybody orders coal, write it down in that book. I'll Le vack about six or seven, and you shall have your money. T hesitated a bare second—after all, the extra sovereign was worth a few hours of that sort of thing. All right,” 1 said. “I'll stop till ou ome back. But there's one thing. “Well? said he, ward the door in tience. What ?"* “Dinner™ said 1 “That's all right,” man brings mine at 1 sharp—take that. You'll find it'll do you. Well, then, till this evening." “I'll see to things,” I assured him. He made for the door without an- other word—but before he went through it and into the street he looked cautiously round the door- posts, up and down: there was that in his action which assured me that he was keenly anxious. Then he shot off, and 1, too, looked out to see whither he went. It was not raining. but he slunk rapidly along the side of the wall, close to it, as if rain had been coming down cats-and-dogs, and with his head bent, his slouch hat pulled over his eyes and his whole attitude that of a man who is run- ning away. suddenly he shot into one of those narrow alle: of which there are so many thereabouts, and so I saw him no longer. But 1 had seen enough to convince me that if the sender of the mysterious message wds & state of high nervousness its recipient was in another of something very like fright, and 1 wondered why. What had happened that morning in the affairs of these two men to make both hasten off somewhere in desperately hurried fashion? Some- thing. evidently—but all the specu- lation in the world would not tell me what, Meanwhile there 1 was, in charge of an ancient rubbish store, the afternoon to get over and another sovereign to anticipate. That, any- way, odd as the adventure seemed, was' preferable to hanging about Portsmouth wondering what I was to do when my first sovereign was spent. Tt was now past noon, and between then and 1 o'clock nothing whatever happened. I sat down in the little office and read the newspaper. No customers came—nobody came. But at precisely 1 o'clock in walked an individual who was obviously the potman of some adjacent hostelry. He carried a tray. whereon, beneath a cloth, were sundry disheg, covered with tin plates, a half loaf of crusty bread, and a jug of foaming ale. A good smell came from his tray, and 1 silently blessed it and him. He stared at me in surprise. and I hastened to relieve hix anxietfes, “Mr. Holliment's away for this aft- ernoon,” 1 said. “He's left me in charge, and I'm o have his dinne “That's all right” he answered, and set his tray on a neighboring table, “and a good un it is, and here's wisn. ing vou a proper appetite.” “Same to you,” I responded politely. He grinned ' understandingly and went off. and I had the cloth and the tin cover whipped away before the sound of his big feet had died out on the pavement. Clearly, T thought, Mr. Holliment had a very comfort- able notion of a homely dinner! There was roast loin of pork, with apple. spuce, potatoes and greens; there was plum pie and custard: | there was a mighty wedge of good cheese. And there was the ale—a whole jug of prime stuff with a head on fit. 1 felt like a new man when I had made an end of Holliment's dinner. After all. the adventure was turn- ing out well for me. 1 had not fared S0 sumptuously for many a day, and 1 had a sovereign in my pockef and another in prospect. I should be able to sleep in a decent lodging that night, and next day to journey on- i ward' to London by rail Instead of tramping the highway. Everything, in fact, looked quite rosy just then, and, finding a box of very decent cigars on the office desk, 1 lighted one and prepared to face the busi- ness requirements of the afternoon with complacency and patience, By the time I had finished that cigar I was beginning to think that for all practical purposes Holliment might just as well have locked up his place of business as to have left me or any one else in charge of it. It | was then past 2 o'clock, and not a sou! had crossed the threshold since Holliment stepped over it—always saving the welcome potman. I was beginning to get bored. And in order to amuse myself 1 took a cast round the place, examining it and its con- tents.
