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- THE VICTOR SANITARIUM 321-323 Whitehall Street, Atlanta, Ga.

Nothing was omitted tha might help to check corporeal decay The premises were beautiful and lux. 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, you perceive, and although I half bur led 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 1 boy. But I And I haven’t. When I saw her name In the 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.

Tony, lighting ,a cigar, ette, strolled to one of the Targe bow windows and looked down the vista of the street. At the corner of Picca dilly men were selling early editions of the evening papers on ths strength of contents bills about the “Strange Street Sensation.” "Great Scott!” he cried suddenly, and again: "Great Bcolt!" 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 slsea too large for her?" "Yes, that’s Joale.” "Is it really?” "And I’ve asked her to lunch here, and I forgot all about It. 1 "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 Tony V "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.

The sale of seats opened Wednesday morning. 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. Johnson and llnrty are hit makers, and the camerngraph pictures are simply the best of the long series that have been exhibited. There will be performances as usual all week.

The entertainer has a peculiar personal way of wringing out a laugh and he dwells along with the laugh, until he is ready to hand out another, that la even more refreshing than the other. His work In the first part Is a bright spot and his place In the olio Is the happy spot. The specialties with the company are clever. They are certainly of a strong class, and there Is real variety. The acrobatic stunts are as good as one will see with any minstrel show, and there Is music that wakes Interest and holds It.
