Committee of Lawyers Ap
pears Before Spccinl Ju
diciary Committee.
The etat# needs a rearrangement of
Its Judicial circuits, said Judge Joel
A. Sweat, of Waycrots, Thursday af
ternoon before the epectal Judiciary
committee of the house, of which lion.
Bob Rlackbum Is chairman. Further
more, he contended that there should
be an Increase of Judges.
Judge Sweat, Attorney Miller, of
Weycross, and Judge T. A. Parker, of
the Brunswick circuit, were before the
committee to urge the passage of the
bill to divide the ten counties of that
circuit Into two. five or which were to
remain and constitute the Brunswick
circuit, the other five to be designated
the Waycrof* circuit.
This bill was prepared by a commit
tee of lawyers of the circuit, who held
a convention In Brunswick to devise
some plan whereby the congested dock
eta In that circuit might be relieved
and the burden of He overworked Judge
lightened.
Judge Parker nt the earned solicita
tion of this committee of lawyer! ad
dressed the houso committee and urged
a division of tho circuit, ns under the
growing pressure of litigation he could
not give that etudy and consideration
to the questions brought before him
that their Importance desorved.
It was rotated before tho commttteo
that one Caeo alone from that circuit.
Involving 170 land lota, valued at over
2160,000, the record of which could
scarcely be carted In n wheelbarrow,
was now before tho supreme court,
and that Judge Pnrker had only a few
hours In which to consider tho caee,
whereas It would take him at least two
weeks to read the record alone.
Bald one attorney: ‘IVe Just pushed
It up to him, to be knocked back to us,
to be shoved on to the supreme rourt.”
The striking feature of the discus
■Ion, however, was Judge flweat'e dec.
■oration that a rearrangement of all
the circuits and more Judgee were sad
ly needed In Georgia.

CHAPTER XXIV (Continued.)
They had started down the street,
•to In arm, the young man puehlng
Juigls along, half dazed. Jurgls waa
jrylog to think what to do—he know

•hatcha eay? Good! Call a cabl"
And then, gripping Jurgls tight with
_ hand, the young fellow began
■arching his pockets with the other.

How’! that, hey?"

run away from school, b'God, It he
don’t sen' me some."
After thl* fashion th* young gentle
man continued to prattle on—and
meantime Jurgls was trembling with
excitement. He might grab that wad
of bills and be out of right In the dark
ness before the other could collect his
wfl*. Should he do It? What better
had he to hope for, If he waited longer?
But Jurgls had never committed a
crime In his life, and now he hesitated
half a second too long. “Freddie" got
one bill loose abd then stuffed the rest
back Into his trousers pockst.
"Here, ole man,” he said, "you take
It." H* held It out fluttering. They
were In front of a saloon; and by the
light of the window Jurgls saw that
It was a hundred dollar bill!
You take It," the other repeated.
"Pay the cabbie and keep the change—
I've got—Me—no head for business!
Guv'ner says so htsself, in' the guv'ner

A cab was driving by; and Jurgls
sprang and called, and It swung round
to the curb. Master Freddie clambered
in with some difficulty, and Jurgls had
started to follow, when the driver

shouted: "HI, there! Git out—you!
Jurgls hesitated, and waa halt obey
ing; but his companion broko out:
"Whuxzat? Whuzamatter with you,
hey?"
And the cabbie subsided, and Jurgle
climbed In. Then Freddie gave a num
ber on the Lake Shore Drive, and the
carriage started away. The youngster
leansd back and snuggled up to Jurgls,
murmuring contentedly; In half a min
ute he was sound asleep. Jurgls sat
shlviring, speculating as to whether he
might not still be able to get hold of
the roll of bills. He was afraid to try
to go through hi* companion's pock
ets, however; and, besides, the cabbie
might be on the watch. He had the
hundred safe, and he would have to do
with that
At the end of half on hour or so the
cab stopped. They were out on the
water front, and from the east a freez
ing gale waa blowing off the Ice.bound
lake. "Her* we are,” called the cab
bie. and Jurgls awakened hla com-
panton.
Master Freddie sat up with a atari.
"Hello!" he laid. "Where are we?
Whusxls? Who ere you, hey? Oh,
yea, sure nuff! Mos' forgot you—hlc—
ole chappie. Home, ere weT Leaeeet
Br-r-r—lt'e cold! Yes—*'ome long—
we're home—be It ever eo—hlc—hum
ble!"
Before them there loomed an enorm
ous granite pile, eet far back from the
street, and occupying a whole block.
By the light of ths driveway lamps
Jurgls could see that It had towers and
huge gables, like a medieval caatle. He
thought that the young fellow must
have made a mistake—It waa Incon
ceivable to him that any person could
have a home like a hotel or the city
hall. But he followed In alienee, and
then went up th* long flight of atepa
arm In arm.
“There’s a button here, ole sport,”
■aid Matter Freddie. "Hols my arm
while 1 find her! Steady, now—oh, ye*,
here she is. Saved!"
A bell hrag and In a few seconds the
door was opened. A man in blue liv
ery stood holding It and gazing before
him. silent, as a statue.
They stood for a moment blinking In
the light. Then Jurgls felt hls com
panion pulling, and he stepped In, and
the blue automaton doted the door.
Jurgls' heart was beating wildly; It was
a bold thing for him to do—Ipto what
strange unearthly place he was ventur
ing he had no Idea. Aladdin entering
hls car* could not have been mo: i ex
cited.
Th* place where he stood waa dimly
lighted; but he could ae« a vast hall,
with pillars fading Into tbe end of
darkness above, and a great staircase
opening at the far end of it. The floor
was tessellated marble, smooth as
gloss, and from th* walls strange
shapes loomed out, woven Into hugo
portieres In rich, harmonious colors, or
gleaming from paintings, wonderful and
mysterious looking In the half-light,
purple and red and golden. Ilk* sunset
glimmers In a shadowy forest.
,. The man In livery had moved silent
ly toward them; Master Freddie took
off hls hat and handed It to him, nnd
then, letting go of Jurgls* nnn, tried to
get out of hls overcoat. Aftor two or
three attempt! he accomplish.-,i this,
with a lackey's help; and innuruim. a
second man had approached, a tall and
portly personage, solemn as an execu
tioner. He bore straight down upon
Jurgls, who shrank away nervously; he
seized him by the arm without a word,
and started toward the door with him.
Then suddenly came Master Freddie's
voice, "Hamilton! My fren' will r*
main wls me."
■ The man paused and half released
Jurgls. “Come 'long, ole chaplpe,” said
the other, and Jurgls started toward
him.
"Master Freddie,” exclaimed the man.
"See.that the cabbie—hlc—Is paid,"
wai th*other's response; and he linked
hla arm In Jurgls'. Jurgls was about
to say. “I have the money fpr him,”
but he restrained himself. Ths stout
man In uniform signaled to the other,
who went out to the cab, while he fol
lowed Jurgls and hls young master.
They went down the great hall, and
then turned. Before them were two
huge door*.
"Hamilton," said blaster Freddie.
"Well, sir?” said the other.
"Whuxsarastler wtxae dinin’ room

"Nothing Is th* matter, air."
"Then why dontcha openumT"
Ths man rolled them back; another
vista lost Itself In the darkness.
'Lights," commanded Master Freddie,
and the butler preseed a button and a
flood of brilliant Incandescence stream
ed from above, half blinding Jurgls. Ha
stared, and little by little he made out
the great apartment, with a domed
celling from which the light poured,
and walla that were one enormous
painting—nymphs and dryads dancing
In a flower atrewn glade, Diana, with
Willi
III U liunri nurnii fliaur, assisting w mi
her hounds and horses, dashing head
long through a mountain streamlet; a
group of maidens bathing In a forest
pool, all life-six* and so real that Jurats
thought that It waa soma work of en
chantment, that he waa In a dream
R lace. Then bis eye passed to th*
ig table In th* center of the hall, a
table Mack as ebony and gleaming with
wrought ellver and gold. In the cen
ter of It waa a hug* carven bowl, with
the glistening gleam of ferns and th*
red and purple of rare orchids, glowing

"This’s the dinin’ room,” observed
Mrfster Fredlde. "How you like It, hey,
ole sport?"
He always Insisted on having an an
swer to hls remarks, lennlng over Jur

liked It.
"Rummy ole place to feel In all 'lone,

Jurgls had started Involuntarily; the
other, whoa* sharp eyes missed noth

Heard of him?”.
And Jurgls managed to stammer out:
"I have worked for him In th* yarda."
"What!" cried Maater Freddie, with
a yell. "You! In th* yarda? Ho, hot

Maater Freddie pointed an eager An

And 2tsster Frederick drew himself
up to a stately height. "My father's
orders were left to me—hlc—an’ not to
you," he said. Then, clasping Jurgls
tightly by th* neck, he staggered out
of th* room; on the way another Idea
occurred to him, and he asked; "Any—
hlc—cable message for me, Hamilton?"
"No, sir,” said the butler.
They went up the great staircase one
step at a time; at th* top of It there
gleamed at them out of the shadows
th* figure of a nymph crouching by a
fountain, a figure ravlshlngly beautiful,
tha flesh warm and glowing with tbe
hue* of life. Above waa a huge court,
with domed roof, th* various apart
ment* opening Into It. Th* butler had
paused below but a few minutes to
give orders, and then followed them!
now he pressed a button, and th* hall
biased with light. Ha opened a door
before them, end then pressed another
button, as they staggered Into the
apartment.
It was fitted up a* a study. In the
center waa a mahogany table, covered
with hooka and smokers' Implements:
tbs walls were decorated with college
trophies and colors, flags, posters, pho
tographs and knlcktmaclu, tennis rac
quets, esnoo paddles, golf clubs and
polo stick*. An enormous moos* head,
with horns six feet across, faced a buf
falo bead ore tha opposlts wall, while
bear and tiger skins covered the pol
ished floor. There were lounging
chairs and sofas, window seat* covered
with soft cushions of fantastic designs;
there was one corner fitted In Persian
fashion, with a huge canopy and a
Jewelled lamp beneath. Beyond a door
opened upon a bedroom and beyond
that was a swimming pool of the pur
est marble, that had cost about forty
thousand dollars.
Master Freddie stood for a moment
laltl
or two gazing about him; then out of
the next room a dog emerged, u nw»n-

The apeaker sank Into one of tho
big arm chairs, and Admiral Dew«-v
crouched beneath It; he did not nnarl
again, but he never took hie ©>*« ■ off
Jurgls. He was perfectly sober, was
the Admiral.
The butler had closed the door, and
he stood by It, watching Jurgls «*vory
second. Now there came footsteps out
side, and, as he opened the door a man
In livery entered, carrying h folding
table, and behind him two men with
covered trays. They stood like statues
while the first spread the table and eet
out the contents of the trays upon It.
There were cold pates, and thin slices
of meat, tiny bread and butter sand-
