Sir Anthony Impatiently sup planted him. nnd executed a prolonged orchestral fantasia upon the horn (he prided himself upon' the power of his horn, which was calculated to damage the ear as effectually as his four Du- celller lamps could damage the eye), whereupon a little lane was reluctantly formed, and the Panhard departed amid the execration of quidnuncs who detested the ostentatious arrogance of excessive' wealth. and tbs clmufffur 'tumbl toneau. The car slid round the corner at 3b miles an hour. "Idiots!" ejaculated the .baronet be tween his teeth,'-with a glance back ward at the crowd. “May I ask the reason of this seduc tion?" Philip-murmured. "Where any I being taken to?" - - "Were going In lunch at the ITesh- and-Blnod," Torn- replied, curtly, "But I can't tall; now." "You’ll find v-cc.-sclf ipiklng to a policeman soon." said Phl||*\ "If you keep on at this .rate. However., as It Isn't mv rpr It'.'ant.my license" , He finished with a gesture to Indicate that his life was.of minor Importance. Tony kept on. He was very evident- !y in a high fever of the nervous sys tem. He crossed'Oxford circus at a speed which ought to have secured his expulsion from the Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland, and his progress thence to Albemarle street was an outrage upon decency and an Incentive to revolution on the part of the honest working classes. At length he drew up before the rich bow-wln- dowed facade of No. Ill, and flung himself and Philip onto the pavement with a vast explosive sigh of relief. "Ouf,” he breathed. "I’m better!” and to the chauffeur, "Be back at 4.” The chauffeur touched his hat re spectfully, but not without a secret Idea about the advisability of finding a fresh master. “I nearly went off my head trying to get - Into that confounded coroner’s court," said Tony, wiping his face. "People standing behind the door—It wouldn’t open. Cost me, half a crown to the policeman to keep my blessed nose at the crack of the door—and then I couldn’t hear properly. You know how highly strung I am. It up set me! You ought to have come around last night, old chap. I waited dinner an hour and I didn't sleep a wink." Philip gazed at the young, Ingenuous face. "What's up?" he Inquired mildly. “What's the matter?" Tony whispered, with an eye on the footman at the portals: “Glratda Is the matter! Come along in.” They entered the marble foyer of the Physique Club, referred to by every one with the least pretension to social style,' as the Flesh-and-Blood. The Physique was certainly the club . of the moment. It had a vogue second to none, and though Its subscription was twenty guineas per annum, the membership reached over four hundred women. For it was essential to, the aim and purpose of the Physique that it should be a "cock-and-hen" af fair. It had not escaped the attention of a number of Intelligences In the aristoc racy, the plutocracy, and the theatrical profession—all diligent readers of the dally press—that the British race was physically deteriorating. Various causes. It appeared, from the profes sionalization of football to the Increas ingly absurd craze for the competitive examinations, were contributing to the gradual extinction of a once hardy and herculean stock, and the watchful pa triotic Intelligences had decided that something must be done to arrest this gradual extinction. They saw that It ,vns the duty of the aristocracy, the plu tocracy. nnd the theatrical profession to set an example' to the rest of the nation, and the Physique Club was started. It existed for the cult of the body. It had swimming baths (In Its first year the question of mixed bath ing had nearly wrecked it), and seven teen other sorts 6f‘ baths, fencing sa il,nils, billiard rooms, a skating rink, nthletlc .courts, boxing rings, shoot ing galleries, a ball room, and several bridge rooms (for repose): also manl cure, pedicure, massage, tonsorial, com gush dentists: also cricket, football and hockey fields at Wembley park: golf links at Wimbledon, and a pack of har. tiers at Woburn Sands; also a restau In London. Nothing might help to check corporeal decay. The premises were beautiful and lux urlous to the last degree, because It part of any proper physical method that the eye must never bo offepdod, but It was not quite good form to let one's self be Been there; the mind w supposed to get more than sufficient nourishment at the tape-machine the foyer. Sir Anthony, after writing Phlllp'i name in a morocco-bound folio In the foyer, led Philip to the restaurant, built and decorated In marble like the foyer, and like the baths. Music was forbidden In the restaurant, lest might distract the attention of eaters from the process—one of the most critical passages In the body's dally history. The two were met on the threshold by the famoub maltre d'hotel Dumllatre from Cero's at Monte Carlo, specially Imported, not for the know! edge of gourmandlre (which was, how ever, Immense), but for his manner. For Dumllatre's manner was ecclesiastical, nay, ritualistic; It said to each person entering the restaurant; "Now, let us approach with due solemnity the great crisis of the day. Let us give all our brains to the selection of a refined and suitable meal." It was Inimitable that manner, and It cowered and awed even the most careless eaters. Dumllatre, long and thin, with long romantic mustache, led his pa tlents to a quiet corner of the room. "Quite a simple lunch, Dumllatre,' said Tony. "Quite a simple lunch? Blen!" said Dumllatre. And he seemed to retire like a poet within the mysterious grottoes of his own brain. The clients waited breathless. "Caviar de Sterlet," chanted Dumll atre at length, gaxlng at Tony's eyes, He knew Tony's fondness for caviar. "Eggs a la grand Due. Baron de Pauli lac." (This dish might have been peer of the realm, so grandlsse was Dumllatre’s enunciation.) “Asparagus Mousseline." There a pause, and sud denly, with a flash of genius. “Parfalt au Moka." He smiled ecstatically, full of con aclousness that he was performing with the finest ability hla important share' In the physical salvation of the Anglo Saxon race. "And the wine,” Tony said.. "I'm run down. A little fizz, eh?" "As Mpnselur wishes,” said Dumllatre, his ‘or such a repast as he had created. What then T’ (, "Mouton Rothschild, or possibly St. Jacques."

Dumllatre retired to give orders and to recuperate, while two acolytes prepared the table. The day was yet young, and. not another patient was In the restaurant. "Phil." the baronet began, his mouth half full of caviar, "you remember me telling you on Wednesday how I'd sat In the same stall seventy-five nights running to see a girl act?” "You said seventy-three," Philip corrected him. "Did I? Well, seventy-three. I'm not sure, but I’ve got It ticked off In Whitaker’s almanac at the flat. Well, It was Gtralda I used to go and see. "The deuce It was! Then you know her?” "It’s like this. I know her and don't know her. She wasn't that sort, you perceive, and although I half bur ied her In flowers, she wouldn't have anything to do with me. I Imagined I’d cured myself of the passion—for it was passion, my boy. But I find haven't. When I saw her name In the papers last night I nearly went mad Yes, I did. 1 nearly went mad. Phil, Glralda has got to be tracked, wher ever she Is. She may be In danger/' "Was she beautiful?" Philip asked. “Good heavens, man! You don' mean to say you don't know whether Glralda Is beautiful or not! It she Isn't the most beautiful woman on the stage, she’s Jolly near It Why, every fellow In the parish of St. James Is or has been In love with her. Never seen her act?" •No." "Impossible! She gets a hundred guineas a week—guineas! Yes, thanks, bring the eggs—and some butter.” . "I’ve not been to the theatre since I reached years of discretion,” Philip exclaimed. ‘That's the reason I've no small talk. Besides. I was on duty every night at the Jiu-Jitsu school." "But her portrait, man!” "What about It?" Tony directed hts friend’s attention of a young woman In Andalusian tume, that was let Into the over mantel above the great fireplace of That’s Pettlf her, given by him to the club, ou think of It?” o yo Phil he, quietly, “she must woman like that oughtn't to get lost. It’s a sheer waste/' "I should think so!” the baronet agreed heartily. "Why, you know, Com In Egypt—that's the musical com. at the Metro.—would have been without her. I ought to know—I How long has she been before the public?” Philip asked. "Well, she's been before the public ten years,” said Sir Anthony. "She began at fifteen In the provinces, and In the provinces she stopped for eight years. Then Talkee-Talkee dis covered her In a pantomime Hanley and brought her to London. She was the rage Inside of a week— the rage! There’s a hotel pension In Bloomsbury called the 'Glralda,'. snd I'm told It's always crowded by peo ple who like the name. And I can un derstand It, my boy. What do you think of that?” and the baronet paus ed for a reply. Philip continued to stare at the por trait. •That Is fame!" he murmured, "and to think that she was the daughter of that old sailor,” he murmured. "Yes. astonishing, Isn’t It?” said the baronet. "I suppose you wanted to marry her?" Philip observed. "Why, of course!" said the baronet. "I’d marry her tomorrow If she'd give me. the chance." "And yet you don't know anything of her?" "But I’m In love with her, you cuckoo!’ protested the baronet. You've never seen.her. You don’t PUPILS IN CHICAGO DON'T HAVE TO REA By rrlvate Leased Wire. Chicago, Sept. 5.—When the fall and winter term of the public schools opened the board of education served the following notice on the principals “To Principals—Please advise pupils of your school not to purchase any text-books on reading until further notice." As a consequence, the term started off with one of the three "R's” missing. The order was due to a complication which has arisen over the effort to sub stltute a new set of readers in schools. The board made the change nnd then was Informed that the reader which It had adopted was sold In In dlana for 56 cents less than It had been offered to the public schools of this city. There will be no readers In the echools until the matter is straightened out. GREATER AUGUSTA IS NOW PROPOSED Special to The Georxlsn. Augusta, Ga., Sept 6.—"One of my first official acts when I take the seat of mayor of Augusta will bs to have committee appointed from the city council to confer with the village Summerville relative to the annexing of the village to Augusta,” said Judge William Dunbar, mayor-elect of Au gusta. It has been the desire of Judge Dunbar for some time to have Sum merville annexed to Augusta, but when he first proposed the Idea, about two years ago, he received strong opposition from some of the large property own ers. ATLANTIC FLEET SAILS FROM REVIEWING GROUND. By Private Leased Wire.

The fleet was divided Into squadrons, and proceeded In various directions. know what love Is. You always were like something between an Ice and an Icicle. Walter, bring the Parfalt au Moka." "Indeed!" said Philip. "And how do you propose to begin finding your Gl ralda? Do you suppose she's hiding, or she’s been kidnaped, or what Something may have happened to her. "Happened to her!" exclaimed Tony. "What can have happened to her?" "How do I know?" Philip uttered. They both again looked at the proud and beautiful face over the fireplace. Surely nothing sinister could have oc curred to that being made for Joy and delight! "I shall go to Scotland Yard and a VoPAM " aalri T’nnv *'ETl 7” - see Varcoe, said Tony. "And then?” "I shall employ 'means to persuade him that the discovery of Glralda’a whereabouts Is the most Important part of the Pollexfen case. These matters can always be arranged." "And when you’ve found her, you' claim your reward In the shape of her hand, eh?" Philip smiled. "You don't understand love,” said Tony shortly. "Come upstairs and have a Leofanl" He paid the bill at the desk, and Dumllatre dismissed them above with gesture c< benediction. It was now o'clock, and there were a number of people In the restaurant. The reading room upstairs was empty, as usual, ex who, after explaining In a rather shamefaced manner that he was only mansions to be let or soli hurried away. Tony, lighting a cigar ette, strolled to one of the Targe bo' windows and looked down the vista of the street At the comer of Picca dilly men were selling early editions of contents bill* about the "Strange Street Sensation." Great Scott!” he cried. suddenly, and again: "Great Scott!" followed by other expletives of a less unobjectlon able nature. Philip approached the window. “I see nothing in particular,” said Philip. "Don't you see that woman In a vie torla coming up? ' 'The lady with a purple hat five sizes too large for her?” “Yes, that's Joste.” "Is It really?" “And I've asked her to lunch here, and I forgot all about It.” "And who Is Josle?" "Josephine Fire, my son. The other star at the Metro. Immense rivalry between her and Glralda." You love her also, then?” Philip questioned. “Welt, you see, when I saw I had no chance with Glralda—you see I was obliged—In fact—she's a stunning girl, Is Josle. Truth Is, I fancy I've made her believe It was she that I went to see seventy-three nights running." her, too And would you marry Tony?” "We won’t discuss that now," said the baronet. "You must Join us at lunch. I Insist. I can't stand it alone. I’m too unnerved.” "Why, surely!” said Philip. "One lunch more or less." He threw up his hands. 'We’ve Just got to lunch again. her, can I? Come along. And look here, of course, I mustn't mention Gl ralda to her. It wouldn't be quite nice. She already haa her suspicions of me. But you can.

The Western Idea In Advertising-and Its Progress Ten years ago more than 60 per cent of American Adver tising originated within 10 miles of Park Row, New York, Today 60 per cent of American Advertising comes from the Chicago territory.

The Westerji Spirit—Aggressiveness- backed by'facts has built up in Chicago the largest advertising agency in America—Lord & Thomas. ng credit for the development of Western Advertisers. Our business has grown because we have made the businesses of our clients grow. And because we did our share in build* ing up small Western Advertisers— Eastern Advertisers (great and small) have come to us until today we have an annual business of $4,000,000.00 and 700 clients (small and large) from all over the country. Fortunately our volume of business enables us to retain more $5,000, $10,000 and $20,000-a-year brains for the prepa ration of advertising campaigns than any other three advertising organiza tions in the country combined. Our volume of business has also given us the most valuable advertising exper ience which we compile into our Record of Results. This Record constitutes the Only Tan gible Basis upon which to build an The Lord & Thomas Record of Results is a tabulation of actual results—in quiries and sales known positively to have been produced by scores of classi fications of selling plans and copy, advertising hundreds of different com modities in all good newspapers and other good media. We are fortunate in being located in Chicago, because here the Western Spirit is fully in evidence. And here we are more closely in touch with every part of the country than we would be in any other city in the United States. The center of population is within 100 miles of Chicago and it is thus the logical—the actual center of publicity. We are ready to focus the Spirit of The West —the Brains —the Record of Results and the Organization at our command upon Your Proposition. One of our representatives is in your city looking after the interests of some of our present clients every fow days. That is why we are advertising in this newspaper—to you—NOW.

The feature acts of the bill reached . At lanta on delayed trains from New York, and owing to the great travel of Labor day, the transfer company Was unable to handle baggage, and In consequence lot of tired out and nerve wrecked beings tried to entertain without ef fects and wardrobe that made up much of the variety of the entertainment. Everything was put In proper shape Tuesday, however, and both perform ances at the delightfully pleasant the ater yesterday were given a real mark of approval, and the show was enthu siastically received. And now that everything Is running smoothly, the bill Is going to make one of the hits of the season, and will probably play to close point to the record for attend ance. Vaudeville la popular, and Just the sort of bill now at the Casino has es tablished this fact. There Is good va riety In the make-up, and that the bill Is high-class Is a fact that will be in dorsed after an Inspection. The three Coates are clever, and will soon leave vaudeville for a tour with one of the Klaw-Erlanger musical comedy combinations. Baby Coates has won the Juvenile hit of the sea son and Is already a pet with the mati nee audiences. This little funmaker has a great future. All of the other acts are good. A novelty Is Introduced Misses Roattlno and Stevens, who use a stage setting of their own, and who make three complete changes of costume, presenting character songs d dances, and, by the way. the dancer the cleverest yet seen at the Casino.
