CHAPTER VII.
The "Flesh-and-Blood.”
sir Anthony Dldrlng's Panhard was
waiting a few yards up the street, but
, uc h was the crowd and such the ex-
Citement of the crowd, that It was
Impossible to start the car at once. The
multitude refused to acknowledge even
the existence of that murderous vehl-
cle.
Fifty people stood In Its path, ster
na at the door of the court house and
iolently discussing the sensation of
the day. just as if the car had been
Invisible. This was the first Indication
of the immense and unique interest
which the case of the dead sea captain
was arousing in the most blase of
capitals.
The chauffeur* not daring to commit
homicide, Sir Anthony Impatiently sup
planted him, and 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.
Philip sprang to Sir Anthony’s side,
and the chauffeur tumbled Into the
toneau. The car slid round the corner
at 30 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 am
I being taken to?"
"Were going to lunch at the Flesh-
and-BIood," Tony replied, curtly. "But
I can’t talk now."
"You’ll find yourself talking to a
policeman soon,” said Philip, "If you
keep nn at this rate. However, as It
isn’t my car it Isn’t my license"—
He finished with a gesture to Indicate
that his life was of minor Importance*
Tony kept on. He‘was very evident
ly 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-win
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:
"Giralda Is the matterl 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
was the duty of the aristocracy, the plu
tocracy, and the theatrical profession
to set an example to the rest of the
nation, ar.d 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 of baths, fencing sa
loons, billiard rooms, a skating rink,
athletic courts, boxing rings, shoot-

urloua to the last degree, because It Is
part of any proper physical method
that the eye must never be offended.
There was certainly a reading room,
but It was not quite good form to let
one's self be seen there; the mind was
supposed to get more than sufficient
nourishment at the' tape-machine In
the foyer.
Sir Anthony, after writing Philip's
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 daily
history. The two were met on the
threshold by the famous maltre d'hotel
Dumllatre from Cero's at Monte Carlo,
specially Imported, not for the knowl
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 a
long romantic mustache, led his pa
tients 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. f
The clients waited breathless. 1
"Caviar de Sterlet,” chanted Dumll
atre at length, gazing at Tony's eyes.
He knew Tony's fondness for caviar.
"Eggs a la grand Dut, Baron de Paull-
lac.” (This dish might have been a
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
sciousness that he was performing with
the flneat ability his Important share
in the physical salvation of the Anglo-
Saxon race.
And the wine," Tony said. "I'm
run down. A little flex, eh?" "As
Monselur wishes," said Dumllatre, his
tone Indicating that champagne was
not the wine for such a repast as he
had created.
What then?"
Moulon Rothschild, or possibly St.
Jacques.”
'St. Jacques," Tony decided, looking
at Philip for approval.
Whereupon 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 ofr In
Whitaker's almanac at the flat. Well,
It was Olralda I used to go and see. 1
"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,

PUPILS IN CHICAGO
DON'T HAVE TO READ
By rrlvnte 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 the
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 eub-
stltute a new set of readers In the
schools. The board made the change
and then was Informed that the reader
which It had adopted was sold In In
diana for 58 cents less thah It had been
red to the public schools of this
city. There will be no readers In the
schools until ths matter Is straightened
out. •
GREATER AUGUSTA
IS NOW PROPOSED
Special to The Georgian.
Augusta, Ga., Sept. 5.—“One of my
first official acts when I take the seat
of mayor of Augusta will he to have a
committee appointed from the city
council to confer with the village of
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 I,rased Wire.
Oyster Bay, Sept. 6.—After having
been reviewed by the president, the
United States Atlantic fleet, under
command of Rear Admiral Evans, got
under way yesterday. The fleet was
divided Into squadrons, and proceeded
In various directions.
'es, I did. I nearly went mad. Phil,
Giralda has got to be tracked, wher
ever she Is. She may bo In danger.'
"Was she bsautlful?” Philip asked.
“Good heavens, man! You don’t
mean to say you don't know whether
Giralda Is beautiful or not! If 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
ever)' night at the Jiu-Jitsu school.’’
“But her portrait, man!”
"What about It?”
Tony directed his friend’s attention
an exceedingly brilliant oil i '
of a young woman In Andalusl
fume, that was let Into the over
mantel above the great fireplace of
i aalle
That's
her, given by him to the c)ub. What
do you think of It?”
Philip gnsed a long time.
"If she really has disappeared,” said
he, quietly, "she must be found. A
woman like that oughtn't to get lost.
It's a sheer waste."
I should think so!” the baronet
agreed heartily. "Why, you know,
Corn In Egypt—that’s the musical
com. at the Metro.—would have been
without her. I ought to know—I saw
seventy—seventy-three times.’
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 at
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 ’Giralda.' and
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 ehe’d give
me the chance.”
And yet you don't know anything
of her?"
But I’m In love with her. you
cuckfto!’ protested the baronet.
You've never seen her. You don’t
know what love Is. You alwaya were
like something between an Ice and an
Icicle. Walter, bring the Pdrfalt au
Moka."
"Indeed!’’ said Philip. "And how do
you propose to begin finding your Gi
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 7”
“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!
”1 shall go to Scotland Yard and
see Varcoe," said Tony. "Eh?”
"And then?"
”1 shall employ means to persuade
him that the discovery of Glralda’s
whereabouts Is the most Important part
of the Pollexfen case. These matters
can always be arranged."
"And when you’ve found her, you’ll
claim your reward In the shape of her
hand, eh?” Philip smiled.
You don't understand love," said
Tony shortly; ’’Com*' upstairs and
have a Leofnnl.”
He paid the bill at the desk, and
Dumllatre dismissed them above with
gesture of 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
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 f New York.
Today 60 per cent of American Advertising comes from the
Chicago territory.
T HE development of commercial
supremacy In The West is the
natural result of the development
of western advertising—commercial
aggressiveness—advertising activity.
The Western Spirit—Aggressiveness-
backed by facts has built up in Chicago
the largest advertising agency in
America—Lord & Thomas.
We are willing to take our share of
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 advert" ,ing 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
Advertising Campaign with the most
reasonable assurance of success.
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 few days.
That is why we are advertising in this
newspaper—to you—NOW.
A letter, signifying that you will grant
us an interview in your office, will not
obligate you in any way.
We are Issuing a series of small books (cloth
bound) covering advertising in all its phases,
which we send free to interested advertisers.

"And who Is Josle?"
“Josephine Fire, my son. The other
star at the Metro. Immense rivalry
between her and Giralda."
"You love her also, then?" Philip
questioned.
“Well, you see, when I saw I had no
chanco with Giralda—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 sevenfy-three nights running.”
"And would you marry her, too

"We won’t discuss that now,”
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,
can’t go and tell Josle I’ve forgotten
her, can I? Come along. And look
here, of course, I mustn't mention Gl
raids to her. It wouldn't be quite nice.
She already has her suspicions of me.
But you can. You must bring the
conversation round to Giralda. Josle's
certain to know a lot of useful things
about her. You must be very Inter
ested In Giralda. Understand?”
"Yes, you! Now, then! Her carriage
has stopped. Quick!”

Moving Better at Casino.
There was a good excuse for the
manner of operation of the Ponce De.
Leon Casino bill on Monday night. 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
a close point to the record for attend
ance.
Vaudeville Is 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 snd 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
by Misses Roattlno and Stevens, who
use a stage setting of their own, and
who make three complete changes of
ebstume, presenting character songs
and dances, and, by the way, the dancer
Is the cleverest yet seen at the Casino.
