< * THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. MONDAY, HBPTISAIUKU 1«, lXg DOUBLOONS A THRILLING NOVEL OF MYSTERY, TRAGEDY AND A STOLEN FORTUNE Bv EDEN PHILLPOTTS AND ARNOLD BENNETT (Copyright. 1906. by Bdeu PhlllpoUs Bod Arnold Bennett.) CHAPTER XI. In the Fourth Estate. The next day was Saturday, a day usually rather flat and uninteresting, as regards Us morning. In Central Lon- * don, and rather vivacious, as regards Its afternoon, even In the primmest suburbs. But that particular Satur day morning was not anywhere des tined to dullness. Clerks who strolled across bridges and out of termini with the sole Intention of drawing a week’s salary and going home again, were, met by the'posters of a special second edi tion of The Dally Courier which con tained an artistically breathless de scription of the night at the Corner house. No other morning paper had • got" the most startling episode In the annals The Courier's poster announced thus: "Corner House Mystery; Scot land Yard Defied; Detective Varcae Spirited Away; Is He Dead?" The evening papers hsd not yet had time to come out. so thst The Courier had a monopoly for quite two hours. And In spite of the fact that The Courier had just recently changed hands, tone and politics, and was therefore bound, mor ally or Immorally, to stir London up at the earliest possible Instant, expe rienced Londoners felt that here was something genuine in the way of a sensation. The voices of the newsboys as ■ they cried The Courier had that “take-lt or leave-lt" accent which on the lips of a newsboy always Indicates that there Is no deception. The (Brai ds slfalr bad been great before; It was now unique. It was the one thing that existed In London, and the accommo dation question on the district railway; even bridge was played less than usual that day. In the Corner house life had become very difficult Indeed. Not later than 9 o'clock the siege of the vicinity had already been resumed by the vast leis ured class that exclusively occupied the main thoroughfare of the town. The crowds were kept at bay on the con fines of Strange street by a force of policemen, but policemen could not be set to keep policemen out of the house: not is the modern Journalist, especially when he Is attached to n Sunday paper and It happens to be Saturday morn ing, the sort of person that ran be kept out of any house by any authority, natural or supernatural, should he de- i-Ire to enter It. The modern Journal ist, at a salary of 60 shillings a week and cab fares, knows the power behind him. And what with police In and nut of uniform, and Journalists weekday and Sunday, and the general leisured public surging and staring at the ends of the street, the Corner house had the right to call Itself fully and strict ly invested. Chief and yet most mys terious among ths strangers within Its gates was a being from Scotland Yard greater than Varcoe; a personage, In deed, than which Scotland Yard could produce none higher; the king of his SI ml. Policemen did not refer to him by name; they said 'e or 'lm, In an Impressed whisper, with Jerks of the head In the direction of the particular room where this formidable being waa supposed to be. Few persona saw him: hr was simply known to be "on the Job." And that he was on the Job, that he had designed to quit his lair In order to come to the Job, rendered the Job sublime In the eyes of thoss who could differentiate between jobs. He Interviewed Philip; Philip's leading Im- rre.-lon of him waa that he was a very *,">d listener. He also Interviewed Mr. Hllgay. 8hortly after this Mr. Hllgay took to his bed and sent for a doctor. The situation had become too vast and complicated for Mr. Hllgay, and he re tired,. defeated If not disgraced, ex pecting brain fever, Philip, after what was called break fast, but what that morning had been little more than a picnic, remained with several other 1 boarders In the basement refectory, and employed hta time stead ily In refusing to talk either to Jour nalists nr to his fellow lodgers. He vnnted to do sundry things that he could not do; to find a situation—he could not even llx his mind on this Important matter; to have an exhaust ive conversation with John Meredith— John Meredith was not on view; or, In default, to chat with Sir Anthony—he would hare difficulty In getting out of the street—It puxxletl him how the Journalists went to and fro. No one, unless It might have been the criminal himself, was more Interested In the Corner house crimes than Philip was at that moment. He seemed to have stepped right Into the middle of them; they absorbed him like n dog. They certainly prevented him from even be ginning to carve his career. A gray muatarhrd commissioner In the sober uniform of his corps entered the refectory. "Mr. Masters?" he looked around In- pleaaure of an Interview with you, sir." The genteel lodgers pricked up their ears. "He la—er—Lord Naslng,” the com mlssloner explained. "His Lordship told ms to say that he thought he could be useful to you.” "Where la her’ "At hla office." "Where's lhat?" "In Stewart square. I have a cab waiting, air." “And can we get out?" "Yes, sir. Up Little QlrdleTs alley, and through the yard of the Cup and Ball.” Philip saw no reason why he should decline the adventure. It offered him at least an escape from Inaction. "I will come with you," he said. He felt sure that Lord Naalng was famous for something or other, but he could not recollect what; and he did not care to ask the commissionaire. H<s Ignorance of the latest creations In peerage was deplorable. Arrived at Stewart square, that humming center of Journalism between Fleet street and the Embankment, the cab stopped In front of the glassy and monumental Brent building, where three dallies and twenty-nine weeklies and three monthlies had their home. Of the four great journalistic houses In London, the Brent Company waa not the least Important. It w,aa a one-man company. Nicholas Brent, Its founder, had been the only son of hla father, and he had never taken a partner nor wife. It showed annual profits of over a quarter of a million, and Its dividend Increased each year. Its three lower stories were faced with glass, so that the world might see the operations that went forward within. On the ground floor were the Victory printing machines, which were even then throwing off copies of the first edi tion (nominally the second) of The Evening Record, at the rate of a hun dred and twenty thousands copies an hour. On the flrst floor were the compositors engaged at linotype machines In setting up the flying and Influential words of the descriptive re porters and writers on the second floor. These stories were occupied and busy day and night—a symbol and sign of the ceaseless activity of the Brent brain, that sardonic brain which had Invented the celebrated newspaper maxim: "We spin you a yam Today. We give you the news next week." The commissionaire, with the cour age of an old soldier, plunged himself nnd Philip straight Into the seething heart of the Brent dally battle, and did not leave his charge until, after a Ufa and a long corridor, he had deposited him at a door marked "Mr. Brent," with the name crossed out and "Lord Naslng" written over It. Philip re membered then who Lord Naalng waa Ths commissionaire bad knocked and received u favorable answer, and Philip entered. The Interior was vast and noble, the caprice of a millionaire who spent the whole of his waking hours In the suc cessful pursuit of pleasnre by means of business, and who believed in comfort with splendor. His office was an exact reproduction of Napoleon’s council chamber at Fontainebleau, with Its celling by Boucher, Us Beauvais tapes- trice, and even the famous round table whose top Is a single piece of mahog any. At the round table, which was cov ered with letters and slip proofs, sat a pale, puffy man of forty-live with the ear-pieces of a telephone strapped round his dark head. Two young wo- men were wilting In remote corners of the room. "No," the man was saying with care- ful distinctness Into the telephone. “01- ralda. O, as In gin, I, r as In roller, a. I, d as In donkey, a. dot It? Qood!" He looked up. "Mr. Masters? Will you sit down a moment? I’m Just 'phoning to Paris." He finished what was apparently part asset In London for a paltry twenty pounds a week.” ■'And haven't IT’ "Yes," said Philip, "Provided you give me a month's engagement cer tain.” "Impossible, Mr. Masters. I cannot break (he rule of a lifetime." "As you please," Philip rejoined. "But suppose the mystery was cleared up to morrow, I reckon I should be ‘shot out* tomorrow. And It's not good enough/ Lord Naalng rose. "I admire you," he said. 'The admiration la mutual," said Philip. "Qood morning, my Lord.' "Not at all," said Lord Naslng. "I ylejd, young man, I yield. But you will sign your articles." "I will sign everything I write," Phil Ip agreed. "You want me to begin right off, I Imagine?" “Certainly. I shall expect you here tonight at 7 o'clock, with results. In' eluding, naturally, your own story ln full. If necessary, I mean to Issue a special edition of the Courier tomor row. Tell me, what do you think Is the real explanation of this mess that Scotland Yard has-got Itself Into?" Lord Naslng sat down again. "To my mind," said Philip, "the ex- inatlon arcos—” ■’You think h6'a dead?” “I do. The late Varcoe fancied him self too much. Ho fancied he was go ing to do the trick all alone, and he very nearly did, but not quite. Some body else was just a shade cleverer then he was. and that somebody is the criminal. He told me so. I am pretty sure that he had discovered everything. But he confided In nobody. That was hie mistake. Nobody at Scotland" Yard was to Have a ha-porth of credit but Varcoe. And ao. In getting rid of Varcoe, the criminal was just as safe as hs waa before Varcoe started his Inquiries. I suppose there's jenlouty at Scotland Yard as there Is every where. But they’ll never admit It.” 'Excellent! Excellent I” murmured Lord Naslng. “You go and write that theory up. But, look here. If Varcoe Is dead, where Is his corpse?" T expect It’s In the Comer House." “Do you think you can find It?" “Who knows?" said Philip. "Hadn’t I better be going?" "Yes,” agreed Lord Naslng. ■'What about expenses 7” "Carte blanche," said his lordship. T assume when you say carte blanche you mean—” 'Carte blanche," his lordship repeat qulrlngly. "Well?" Philip replied curtly. P PhlllL The commissioner hnnded a visiting card to Philip, and the card bore the legend: 'The Right Honorable Lord "Hie Lordship would like to have the A Traveler’s Story. Mr A was palled out of town suddenly. He was not a Bell tele phone subscriber— communication with his house was Indirect and unsatisfactory. He was worried about the folks at home. IN THE MEANTIME Mr. B was also called out of town. He waa able to attend to bust- ness with an easy mind. He called up his house on the Bell telephone and had a personal talk with the folks.

A meseenger had come and gone. The two women si lently departed. "flood morning, Mr. Masters. Won’t you have this chair near the table?" "Thanks,” said rhlllp. “Are you Lord Naslng?" "I am. You know I’ve just bought the Daily Courier?” "I illd not,” said Philip. "And yet I have spent twenty thous and In advertising the fact. It Just shows that one can never advertise enough. Well, I’ve bought The Courier, nnd henceforth It's produced In thte building. You ore after a situation, aren't you?" "Yes,” said Philip. "How would you tfk« to com* on the ■Raff?" The tones were even, placid, cold. "But I'm not a Journalist" "That's nil the better, t want new blood. Journalists always think grooves." "I can't write." "That'a not necessary, said Lord Naslng; "I can't either. And. look at me! 1 can hire wrltera for a couple of pounds a week." "But what do you want me to do? "I want you to go round nnd get stuff for The Courier." "What sort of stuff?" "Bright stuff. Interesting stuff. Ex elusive stuff” "And why do you pick out me?" "For various reasons. Chiefly because Evenwood. the special of The Record, has been able to make nothing of you. ills description of you, nnd—er—what we know—In short—*’ "And the screw V Philip demanded, smiling. "What do you ask?" Philip, having been thus requested to open his mouth, decided that he ought to open It extremely wide. 'Twenty pounds a week," he said calmly, drumming on the table. Lord Naalng paused. "I will give It to you. But you know the rulea of the house?" •No," said Philip. "No notice given or required. 1 have over four hundred staff contributors and secretaries In this place. Every one can walk out when he pleases, and I esn shoot ’em out when I please; that Is fair, Isn't It?” “Perfectly." said Philip. "Ufe must be quite Interesting here." Lord Naslng laughed. “It ta,” he sahl shortly. rtf course, I understand your mo- es," Philip remarked. My motives?" Lord Nanlng repeat ed, with u gesture almost threatening. "Yes." said Philip. "You’re going to tell me to work up the Comer House affair. Now It seems to me that, next to the murderer. I know more about It than anybody in London. I'm In It. I'm «f It. I've refused to talk to re porter* and The Record Is cross with me for my silence. I'm worth money In Heel street. What you can’t get In one way you usually get In another. That'a why you succeed.

"You mean to take photographs?” "I mean to show you what my notion of Journalism Is,” said Philip. He departed, with his sprlp and the staff (consisting of the photographer and a youth who could write), very Joyous tn hit new profession, and withal gloomy as a man. The thought of Varcoe dead, touched his heart; a nameless apprehension concerning John Meredith affrighted him; and the por trait of Qtralda was always before his eyes like a lure. It seemed to him, however, that he had sharpened the knife by which he should recommence the carving of his career, _ . _ , Continued In Tomorrow’s Georgian.

RELIGIOUS DENOMIN.A TIONS SHOULD WORK TOGETHER, SA VS PRESIDENTROOSEVELT Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 10—President Roosevelt believes that the various re ligious denomination!* can beat serve the cause of Christianity by work!rig shoulder to shoulder and that the tend- ency of the creeds la to come together. President Roosevelt expressed thla sen timent Saturday in a talk at the two hundredth anniversary of the founda tion of the Christ Episcopal church here. The chief executive said: "I cannot understand how any Amer ican citizen who has the faintest feel ing of patriotism can fail to appreciate how absolutely essential religion Is to the welfare of the country. We should build our material civilization only as a foundation for the spiritual. "The various denominations can best serve the Lord by working hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder In the great war for decency, honest, clean living and righteousness." The president concluded by declaring that our country could not continue as a republic to rise to the level of great ness unless that greatness be based upon and conditioned by the teachings of the New* Testlment and the gospels. JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS TAKES ISSUE WITH BRYAN Yaxoo City, Miss., Sept. 10.—Replying a request from a Richmond, Va., paper for an expression of his views on Mr. Bryan's Idea of government own ership of railroads, Hon. John Sharp Williams, of this city, the minority leader In congress, has sent the fol lowing answer; ' “I am opposed to government owner ship of railroads, Irrevocably, now and forever. In theory and In practice—a question concerning which Mr. Bryan and I agree to disagree. But I see no good to be attained In my rushing Into print on the subject We will simply vote It down If offered as a plank of the Democratic platform. Meanwhile let ub not magnify Democratic differ ences. There are so many’ things we arc agreed upon—let us magnlfj them. Push them to the front If we can. Bryan Is not Infallible, and does not pretend to be. He Is right about so many things, eloquently and greatly right, but absolutely and altogether wrong about this one thing, especially from the standpoint of racial peace and quiet In the South. Let us strong ly regulate railroad rates, but not op erate railroads." WOOD LICE FEAST ON HIDDEN MONEY AND UNCLE SAM PAYS FOR LUNCH SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.

The money was placed In a fruit Jar which was carefully sealed and this placed In a wooden box and deeply buried. Through the dreary winter months Sam chuckled with glee when he thought of how smoothly he had elud ed defaulting bank presidents, flres and storms. Early In the spring he dug up his treasure and finding It In perfect order made another deposit, making 8660 all told. . Beveral days ago the wiry Sam found need tor a tew feet of the long But lot the crafty wood lice had de slroyed the box, and the Jar which had contained tha valued treasure now held only a few fragments of bills. Sam was down-hearted and heart broken for the savings of several years had been fed to wood lice. But each crafty parasite upon entering -the Jar had Imprisoned himself and the Jar be sides containing the fragment bills held also each guilty louse. After mature consideration and plenty of advice Sam sent the Jar and contents with his tale of woe to the treaeury department In Washington. After a thorough investigation and having weighed each parasite the au thoritles decided that 8am's money was still In Its strong box even though not In its original form. He received a check from that department for 8660, green and reverted to his strong box.
