THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1TO DOUBLOONS A THRILLING NOVEL OF MYSTERY, TRAGEDY AND A STOLEN FORTUNE =n By EDEN PHTLLPOTTS AND ARNOLD BENNETT (Copyright. 1906. by Eden I’hlllpott* and Arnold Bennett.) CHAPTER XI. In the Fourth Estate. The next day was Saturday, a day usually rather flat and uninteresting, as regarda Ita morning. In Central Lon. don, and rather vivacious, as regarda Its afternoon,' even In the primmest suburbs. But that particular Satur day morning was not anywhere des- tlned 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 Daily Courier which con tained an artistically, breathless de scription of the night at the. Corner house. No other morning paper had ' K >t" the most startling episode in the annals The Courier's poster announced thus: ’’Corner House Mystery; Scot land Yard Defled; Detective Varcoe Spirited Away; Is He Dead?” The evening papers had not yet had time to come out, so that The Courier hod 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 ofl sensation. The voices of the newsboys] as they cried The Courier had that ' tuke-lt or leave-lt” accent which on the llpe of a newsboy always Indicated that there Is no deception. The Glrftl da affair had been great before; It was now unique. It was (he 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 n o'clock the siege of the vicinity had /'I ready been resumed by the vast Jels. it red class that exclusively occupied the main thoroughfare of the town. The ■ rowds were kept at bay on the con fine* of Strange street by a force of policemen, but policemen could not be set to keep policemen out of the house; nor Is the modern journalist, especially when he is attached to a Sunday paper and It happens to be Snturdny morn ing, the sort of person that can he kept Out of any house by any authority, natural or supernatural, should he de sire to enter It. The modern Journal ist, at a salary of 50 shillings a week and cab fares, knows the power behind him. And what with police In and out of uniform, and Journalists weekday and Sunday, and the general leisured public surging and staring at the ends of the street, the Comer house had the right te call Itself fully and strict ly Invested. Chief and yet most mys terious among the strangers within Its gates waa a being from Scotland Yard gronter than Varcoe; o personage. In deed, than which Scotland Yard could produce pone higher; the king of his klml. Policemen did not refer to him by name; they said 'o or 'lm. In nn • Impressed whisper, with Jerks of the head In the direction of the particular room where this formidable being was suppaaad to be. Few persons saw him; he was simply known to be ’’on the job.” And that he was on the Job, that he. had designed to quit h|s lair In order to come to the Job, rendered the Job sublime In the eyes of those who could differentiate between Jobs, lie Interviewed Philip; Philip's leading lm presstsn of him was that he was a very good listener. He also Interviewed Mr. Jlllg.iy. Shortly after this Mr. Hltgay took to his bed and sent for a doctor. The situation had become too vast and complicated for Mr. Hllgny, and he re tired, defeated If not disgraced, ex. pel ting brain fever. Philip, after what was called break, fast, but what that morning had been little more than A picnic, remained with several other boarders In the basement refectory, and employed his time stead, liy In refusing to talk either to Jour nalists nr to his fellow lodgers. He wanted to do sundry things that he could not do; to find a situation—he could not even fix hla mind on this Important matter; to have an exhauat. Ive conversation with John Meredith— John Meredith waa not on view; or, In default, to chat with Sir Anthony—he w,,uld have difficulty In getting nut of the street—It puxxled him how the Journalists went to and fro. No one, imlesa It might have been the criminal himself, was more Interested In the Comer house crimes than Philip was at that moment. He seemed to have stepped right Into the middle of them; they absorbed him like a dog. They < frtnlnly prevented him from even be ginning to carve his career. A gray muatached commissioner In the sober uniform of hts corps entered the refectory. "Mr. Masters?” he looked around In quiringly. "Well?" Philip replied curtly. The commissioner handed a visiting card to Philip, and the card bore the legend: "The Right Honorable Lord Naslng.” "Hla Lordship would Ilka to have the pleasure of an Interview with you, air." The genteel lodgers pricked up their ears. “He Is—er—Lord Naslng." the com mlssloner explained. "His Lordship fold me.to say that he thought he could be useful to you." "Where Is he?" "At his office." "Where's that?" "In Stewart square. I have a cab waiting, sir." '•And can we get out?” "Yes, sir. Up Little GlrdleFz alley, and through the yard of the Cup and Ball." Philip saw no reason why he should decline Ihe adventure. It offered him, at least an escape from Inaction. "I will come .with you," he said. He felt sure that Lord Naslng was famous tor something or other, but he could not recollect what; and he did not care to ask the commissionaire. His Ignorance of the latest creations In peerage was deplorable. Arrived at Stewart square, that humming center of Journalism between Fleet street and the Kmbankment, 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 was a one-man company. Nicholas Brent, Its founder, had been the only son of his father, and he had never taken a partner nor a wife. It showed annual profits of over a quarter of a million, and It's 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 edl tlon (nominally the second) of The Evening Record, at the rate of a hun dred and twenty thousands copies an hour. On the first floor were the compositors engaged at linotype machines In setting up the flying at)i 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 ceaseiess activity of the Brent brain, that sardonic brain which had Invented the celebrated newspaper maxim: "We spin you a yarn today. We give you the news next week." The commissionaire, with the cour age of an old soldier, plunged himself A Traveler’s Story. Mr A wan called out of town nuddonly. Ho waa not a Bell tele phone subscriber— communication with his house waa Indirect and unsatisfactory. He waa worried about the folks at home. IN THE MEANTIME Mr. B waa also called out of town. He waa able to attend to busi ness with an easy mind. He called up hla house on the Bell telephone and had a personal talk with the folks. If you are Mr. A— Call Contract Dept. M. 1300 heart of the Brent dally battle, and dl not leave his charge until, after a life 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 Naslng was Tho commissionaire had knocked and received a favorable answer, and Philip entered. The Interior whs' vast and noble, tho caprice of a millionaire who spent the whole of hts waking hours In the suc cessful pursuit of pleasure by means of business, and who believed In comfort with splendor. Hts olllce was an exact reproduction of Napoleon's council chamber at Fontainebleau, with It* celling by Boucher, Its Beauvais tapes tries, and even the famous round table whoso top la a single piece of mahog any. At the round table, which was coV' crod with letters and slip proofs, sat t pale, puffy man of forty-flvo with the enr.pleees of a telephone strapped round his dark head. Two young wo men were writing In remote comers of the room. "No,” the man was saying with care ful distinctness Into the telephone. "Gl raldo. G, as In gin. I, r as In roller, a. L d as In donkey, a. dot It? Good!” He looked up. "Mr. Masters? Will you sit down a moment? I'm Just 'phoning to Paris," He flnlshed, what was apparently part of a paragraph for the Paris edition.of The Record, and then ho rang off, re leased himself from tho ear pieces, and turned to Philip. A messenger had come and gone. The two women el lently departed. "Good morning, Mr. Maaters. Won' you have this chair near the table?" Thunka," said Philip. "Are you rd Naslng?” I am. You know I’ve Just bought the Dally Courier?" I did 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, and henceforth It's produced In this building. You are after a situation, aren't you?" "Yes," aatd Philip. "How would you like to come on the staff?" The tones were even, placid, cold. "But I’m not a Journalist." "That's all the better. I want new blood. Journalists always think grooves." "I can't write.” "That’s not necessary, said Lord Naslng; "I can't either. And look at me! I can hire writers for a couple pounds a week.” "But what do you want me to do?" "1 want you to go round and get stuff for The Courier." "What sort of stuff?" . "Bright stuff. Interesting stuff. Ex clusive stuff." * "And why do you pick out me?” "For various reasons. Chiefly because Evenwood, the speclat of The Record, has been able to make nothing of you. HI* description of you, and—er—what we know—In short—" "And the screwF’ 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 calmly, drumming on the table. Lord Naslng paused. "I will give It to you. But you know the rule* of the house?" "No." said Philip. ' "No notice given or required. I have over four hundred staff contributor* and secretaries In this place. Every one can walk out when he pleases, nnd I can shoot ’em out when I please; that is fair, isn't It?" "Perfectly." said Philip.. "Life must asset in London for a paltry twefity pound* a week." ■'And haven’t I?" "Yes,” said Philip. "Provided you give me a month's engagement cer tain." “Impossible, Mr. Masters. I cannot break the rule of a lifetime." “As you please," Philip rejoined. "Bui suppose the mystery was cleared up to morrow, I reckon I should be 'shot out' tomorrow. And It's not good enough.” Lord Naslng rose. "I admire you,” he said. "The admiration Is mutual," said Philip. "Good morning, my Lord.” "Not at all," said Lord Naslng. "I yield, young map, I yield. But you will sign your articles." 1 will sign everything X write,” Phil ip agreed. "You want me to beflrj right off, I Imagine 7" Certainly. 1 shall expect you here tonight at 7 o’clock, with results, In cluding, naturally, your own story In 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 Nosing sat down again. 'To my mind," said Philip, "the ex' RELIGIOUS DENOMINA TIONS SHOULD WORK TOGETHER, SA YSPRESIDENTROOSEVELT Oyster Bay, N. Y„ Sept. 10—President Roosevelt believes that the various re ligious denominations can best serve ths cause of Christianity by working shoulder to shoulder and that the tend ency of the creeds is to come together. President Roosevelt expressed this sen timent Saturday In a talk at the two hundredth anniversary of the founda tion of the Christ Episcopal church here. The chief executive aald: “I cannot understand how any Amer ican citizen who haa the faintest feel ing of patriotism can fall to appreciate how absolutely essential religion Is to the welfare of the country. We should build our material civilisation only foundation for the spiritual. “The various denomination* 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 a* a republic to rise to the level of great ness unless that grehtness be based upon and conditioned by the teaching* of the New Testlmsnt and the gospels. JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS TAKES ISSUE WITH BRYAN be quite Interesting here.' Lord Naslng laughed. "It la.” he sab! shortly. "Of course. I understand your mo tives," Philip remarked. "My motives?" Lord Naslng repeat ed, with a gesture almost threatening. •'Yes,” said Philip. “You're going to tell me to work up the Corner House affair. Now It seems to me that, next the murderer, I know more about It than anybody In London. I’m In It I’m of It. I've refused to talk to re porters, and The Record Is cross with me for bny silence. I'm worth money In Fleet street. What you can't get in one way you usually get In another. Thai's why you succeed. Lord Naslng. You think you've got the most valuable arcoe—" ■'You think he's dead V "I do. The late Varcoe fancied him self too much. He 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 than he was, and that somebody Is the criminal. He told me so. 1 am pretty sure that he had discovered everything. But he confided In nobody. That was his mistake. Nobody at Scotland Yard was to have a ha-porth of credit but Varcoe. And so. In getting rid of Varcoe, the criminal was just as safe as he waa before Varcoe started his Inquiries. I suppose there’s jealousy at Scotland Yard as there Is every where. But they'll never admit It." ‘•Excellent! Excellent!" murmured Isird Naslng. “You go and write that theory up. But, look here. If Varcoe Is dead, where Is his corpse?" "I expect It's In the Corner 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?" Carte blanche,” said his lordship. 'I assume when you say carte blanche ymr mean—" 'Carte blanche," his lordship repeal ed. •Right," said Philip, getting up. "Well, in addition to carte blanche with the cashier, I shall want a—a tame grammarian and a photographer." 'You moon to take photographs?” I mean to show you what my notion of Journalism Is,” said Philip. He departed, with his scrip and the staff (consisting of the photographer and a youth who could write), very Joyous In his 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 Qtratda was always before hla eyes like a lure. It seemed to him, howiever, that he had sharpened the knife by which he should recommence the carving of hla career. _ Continued in Tomorrow's Georgian.

Yasoo City, Mla*„ Sept. 10.—Replying to 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 us not magnify Democratic differ ences. There are so many things we are agreed upon—let us magnify 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 th* South. Let us strong ly regulate railroad rates, but net op erate railroads.” WOOD LICE FEAST ON HIDDEN MONEY AND UNCLE SAM PAYS FOR LUNCH Special to The Georgian. Douglasvllle, Oa., Sept. 10.—Sam James, a young planter, living near here, fearing the safety of banks, bur- led over $500 near his home last Oc tober. The money was placed In a fruit jar which was carefully sealed and this placed In a wooden box and deeply burled. Through the dreary winter months Sam chuckled with glee when he thought of how smoothly he had elud ed defaulting bank presidents, fires and storms. Early In the spring he dug up his treasure and finding It In perfect order made another deposit, making $550 all told. Several days ago the wiry Sam found need for a few feet of the long green and reverted to his strong box. But lot (he crafty wood lice had de stroyed the box, and the Jar which had contained the valued treasure now held only a few fragments of bills. Sam wa* 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 treasury department In Washington. After a thorough Investigation and having weighed each parasite the au thorities decided that Snm's money was still In Its strong box even though not In Ita original form. He received a check from that department for $550, reimbursing him for the full amount. SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES. SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.

Clerk Johnson says there were only 84 fertiliser factories doing business In Georgia when he went with the de partment six years ago.
