THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, JULY 23. 13*7. analyzed N W+E In every section of the United States, in Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas, Coca-Cola has been conscientiously analyzed by the most proficient chemists in their respective sections, and the verdict rendered has universally been that “Coca-Cola is as harmless as tea or coffee,” a fact which accounts for the wonderful popularity of this most delicious and refreshing of beverages. K. R..Miller, Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, at Alabama Polytech- nical Institute, says: “As a result of careful examination of Coca-Cola, I was not able to separate and identify any cocaine or other deleterious substances.” B. B. Ross, State Chemist of Afabama, says: “I indorse and concur in this report of Professor Miller.” i R. W. Webster, Director Chemical Department of the CHICAGO LABORA TORY, found after analysis that there was “Nothing harmful in this preparation. A cup of strong coffee contains as much caffeine as from two to four bottles of Coca-Cola.” THE BRACEBRIDGE DIAMONDS A Thrilling Story of Mystery and Adventure 8YNOPSI3. ok (Ihe hero) nnd niglnsld Brsce- • (cousins) meet * nmnrclously bcau- wotutn on til* plait* at Saratoga.

Reginald, upon That Itegln his Inheritance until he was thirty years of age. That Frank, as sole executor and trustee, endowed with plenary power, was to pay him as little or us much as In his discretion he thought neces sary during this long period of proba- tlon. For his services In this respect Frank was to receive a legacy of *60,000. By a further clause In the will, if Reginald should die without Issue the whole estate of probably *20,000,000 was to revert to Frank. Reginald llatened open-mouthed ns Frank road, and then sprang from his Cl ' alr ' CHAPTER VI. A Setback. "Oh. here, I say I" he shouted. "This Is too ridiculous. I won't stand this." "I am afraid you will havs to put up with It," returned Frank curtly: and then, having dismissed the servants, he added: "Your manner. Reginald, shocks me beyond measure. Have you no sense of decency that you talk of rushing away to card parties with your fathers body hardly covered from sight?" "What does it matter?" Reginald an swered. "Where doei a sense of de cency come In? The governor Is dead. No good to howl over It, Is there? It won't bring him back, will It? And now, why the deuce did you let him make such a rotten will? It can be up set, can't It?" . . Frank's patience was nearly at an end. He smiled sardonically. "By whom? Not you, certainly. The presumption of the iaw Is that a sane man can deal with his property In any way he may think Ut as In the present Instance, and you know. BejIWlM, tha* your father had good reason for mak- ing hla will in the tray he did. "Reason!" shouted Reginald. So, he hadn't, either. He hadnt an ounce of good red blood In hla body and he hadn't any sympathy with anybody who" had. ’ I had some scrapes, of course But. great Caesar, can t a boy have his fling? Why Jhould ha have taken ottenio pt such trifles? He was a surly old curmudgeon, that • all, and he has treated me Infamously." Then he changed hts tone and came close to Frank. . Frank’’ Mr,.

"You wllf get no $500 from mo to- lay ” he said, In his steniest manner. J2r * ntiA afnffle dollar. For of all the rrr.e wXiJS 1 he snarled. "You have had my father' ear, you have played the toady, the goody-goody; you have been the sane, .safe young man, the young man who never dissipated, who always attended strictly to business, who was always at hand to soothe and advise his uncle. "Ah! I suppose you commiserated with him many times over (be wicked ness of his only son. I can see you now with your devilishly solemn air and your cureed sympathetic face advising my father to keep a Arm hand on me. "This scheme was never my father's. I see now; It was yours, all yours, to get the property Into your hands so that you could rob me at your leisure. Fifty thousand dollars you get for your pteclous work. I’ll wager you that you line your pockets with nearer live million by tho tlmo I get to be thirty years old." "Reginald," hie cousin Interrupted, "do not dare to say another tVord lllto that. You are beside yourself." “Beside myself, yes,” almost shrieked Reginald. “What man wouldn't be be- side himself, with such a men as this? Here I am 21 years old and must wait nine years before I come Into my own. "And all these years I must wnlk softly at tho behest of a whining, snlv. cling, psalm-slnglng toady who has schemed for years to oust me from my rightful place. ' "Oh. you needn't clinch your lists and S ind your teeth that way," Reginald unted, having worked himself up to an Insane fury. "You would like to floor me where 1 stand, but you don’t want to make a scene before the eerv' ants. "But I don’t care a linker's dam for the servants or for anybody else In the world. I’ve been defrauded of my rights by you, and then In your in- sorence you stand there and refute to give me oven a paltry stipend of what Is rightly mine. "I know what you are up to. my lino fellow. You are thinking of that last clause which says that when I die you will have It alt. .1 shall take precious care, my dear Cousin Frank, not to get you. Twenty mill worth while for e— save the mark—criminal lawyer to do a little trick with arsenic or ground glass.” "Reginald, are you mad?" his cousin demanded. '1 have, borne much from r ou, but I warn you If you do not stop shall call officers and have an Inquiry mad* Into your sanity." Reginald started at that, then strode to the door and'opened It •T am going now.” he said drama,] catly. "and may I be killed like a dog and my body thrust like a dog's Into a box if I ever voluntarily see you again.** He flung himself forth Into the night, and Frank shuddered as bn thought of the uncurbed passions, the misguided manhood of his young cousin. Tho word* of the curso Reginald had self- invoked rang In hla ears. Months lifter- wards they came back to blm with vivid reality. CHAPTER VII, The Great Secret. Just one week elapsed from the time Reginald Bracebrldge flung himself,out of his father's house with a curse kntll rank heard from him again. Then an attorney whom Reginald had engaged camo to Frank to- talk over tho matter of an allowance. . Frank asked that he bo furnished with a full account of Reginald’s debts, both gambling and otherwise, which ho said he would pay. and told tho attor ney that ho would make Reginald a liberal allowance, to bo Increased each year upon good behavior, until Regi nald's thirtieth birthday, when he would come Into possession of the whole prop Nj K He warned Reginald through the at torney, however, that no further debts would be liquidated, and that tho boy must live within his allowance.' The attorney nromlsed to use his Influence with Reginald and went away. The list of debts which arrived short ly was a formidable one. and Frank paid them with a feeling of shame that his uncle's son should so trifle with his father's good business name as to con tract those liabilities. The debts paid nnd the question of an allowance settled, Frank turned his attention to the letter which ho knew must bo somewhere among his uncle's effects. At Inst It- found It In n scen t drawer of his uncle's private desk. He drew It out with a feeling of se cret awo. He hod known part of the secret of the Bracebrldges slnco he was 21. and his father upon his death bed. with tears and sobs, had begged his eon's forgiveness for bartering bis In heritance for a mess of pottage. The boy had not understood what his fa ther meant. Later his uncle had taken him aside, and after lamenting that Reginald was not to bo trusted had shown him one portion of a queer look ing map which had been cut into four pieces nnd a velvet box with a great golden seel. ' Not To Be Trusted. 'These should bo Reginald's," the old mah 1 said, "together with the secret which goes with them, but he Is pot to be trusted. Besides, boy, you have been cheated out of your share of the secret. "Your father, before he married your njother, fell In love and married a girl oh the coast of Mai no, when he was sailing near there. She was uncouth and Illiterate, but she had a great In fluence over him, and she codxed from him not only the secret of the Brace- bridges, with his portion of the map, but the wrestling trick, which only the sons should know. "I can not give these to Reginald, the old man went on, "so they are to be yours. Take them now, for after my death you might not be allowed legally to do *o. Guard them with your life. Do not open the box until after my death. "Then find the letter which I Bhall leave you and learn the whole secret of the Bracebrldges.- I could not leave It In worthier hands. You will under stand msny things then. Including the reason why I have always urged you ort with your inventton." ; Frank could almost' hear the tone of his dead uncle's voice, ao vividly was It Impressed on Ms mind, os ho drew forth from the secret recess the letter and took from his pocket the velvet case which had never left his may since his uncle gave It to him. "What can be In this box?" he mused. The setting Is beautiful enough to hold costly Jewels, but I know that father and uncle both landed In America with, out a cent, and I know that undo brought this with him, so It can not be anything of great Intrinsic value. He broke the great golden seal aa his uncle had instructed him to do and threw open the box. A cry of surprise and admiration broko from his lips, succeeded by a look almost of tarror. There before him was the most mag. nlflcent necklace of diamonds he had ever seen In his life. Superb, flawless, they lay In their velvet bed and smiled mockingly, elu- elvely up at him. The smallest stone of tho necklace was larger than any other diamond Frank had over seen. Frank lifted the necklace out from Its case. Then a cry of dismay broke from his lips. Three of the diamonds were missing. In their places were huge unsightly pebbles. Ho turned to the letter, broke the seal and read It through. “My God!” he gasped when he had finished. • The secret of tho Bracebrldges lay before him. and It was so great, so appalling a tusk that was laid upon him that ho shrank almost in terror, from It.
