A THRILLING NOVEL OF MYSTERY,
TRAGEDY AND A STOLEN FORTUNE

CHAPTER XI.
In the Fourth Estate.
The next day was Saturday, a day
usually rather flat and uninteresting,
as regards It* morning, In Central Lon.
don, and rather vivacious, aa regards
It* afternoon, even In the primmest
suburb*. But that particular Satur.
day morning waa not anywhere dee-
tlned to dullness. Clerks who strolled
ac ross bridges and out of termini with
the sole Intention of drawing a week's
salary and gdlng 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. So other morning paper had
"got" 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 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
' i ho earliest possible Instant, expe
rienced Londoner* felt that here was
something genuine In the way
senaatlon. The voices of the newsboys
a a they cried The Courier had that
"take-|t orleave-lt" accent which on
the lips of a newsboy always Indicates
that there Is no deception. The Olral-
da affair had been great before; It waa
now unique. It was the one thing that
existed In London, and the accommo
dation question on the district railway;
even bridge waa played less than usual
that day.
In the Corner house life had become
wry difficult Indeed. Not later than II
o'clock the siege of the vicinity had
nlrondy been resumed by the vast leis
ured claaa that exclusively occupied
the main thoroughfare of the town. The
< rowds 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;
nor Is the modern journalist, especially
w hen he Is attached to a Sunday paper
and It happens to be Saturday morn
ing, the sgrt of person that can be kept
out of any house by nny authority,
natural or supernatural, should he de-
Slre to enter It. The modern journal
ist, at a sMary 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 Corner house had
the right to call Itself fully and strict
ly Invested. Chief and yet most mys
terious among the strangers within Its
antes 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
kind. 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 aaw him:
he was simply known to be “on the
Job." And that he waa on the job, that
he hnd designed to quit hla lair In
order to come to the Job, rendered the
Job sublime In the eyes of those who
could differentiate between Jobs He
Interviewed Philip; Philip's leading Im
pression of him waa that he waa a very
good‘listener- He also Interviewed Mr.
illlgay. Shortly after this Mr. Hllgay
took to hla bed and sent for a doctor.
The situation had become too vast and
tired, defeated If not disgraced, et|
pertlng brain fever.
Philip, after what waa colled break
fast, but what that morning had been
little more than a picnic, remained with
several other boarder* In the basement
refectory, and employed his time stead
ily In refusing to talk either to Jour
nalists or to his fellow lodgers. He
wanted to do sundry things that he
could not do; to And a situation—he
could not even flx hla 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
w ould have difficulty In getting nut of
ihn street—It puxsled him how the
Journalists went to and fro. No one,
unless It might have been the criminal
himself, waa 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 a dog. They
• ertalnly prevented him from even be
ginning to carve hla career.
A gray mustached 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 like lo have the
pleasure of an Interview with you, sir.'
The genteel lodgers pricked up their
ears.
"He Is—er—Lord Naslng," the com
mlssloner explained. "His Lordship
told me to aay that he thought he could
be useful to you.”
"Where Is her
"At his office."
"Where's thatr
"In Stewart square. I have a cab
waiting, air.”
"Ahd can we get out?'
"Yes, sir. Up Little dinner's alley,
and through the yard of the Cup and
Ball."
PhUlp 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 Naslng was
famous for something or other, but he
could not recollect what; and he did
not rare to ask the commissionaire.
His Ignorance of the latest creations
In peerage was deplorable.
Arrived at Stewart square, that
humming renter of Journalism between
Fleet street and the Embankment, the
cab slopped 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 was not
the least Important. It was 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 first floor were the
compositors engaged at linotype
machines In setting up the flying aq(J
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

out of town. He was

not leave his charge until, after a life
and a long corridor, he had deposited
him at ? door marked "Mr. Brent,"
with the nnmc crossed out and "Lord
Naslng" written over It. Philip re
membered then who Lord Naslng waa
The commissionaire had knocked and
received a 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 pleasure 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, Its Beauvais tapes
tries, and even the famous round table
whose top la a single piece of mahog
any.
At the round table, which was cov
ered with letters and slip proofs, ant a
palo, puffy man of forty-live with the
ear-pieces 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. "01-
raids. O, «* In gin, I, r as In roller, a, 1,
d as In donkey, a. Oot It? Good!” He
looked up. "Mr. Masters? Will you
sit down a moment? I'm Just 'phoning
to Paris."
He finished what was apparently part
of a paragraph for ths Paris edition of
The Record, and then he rang off, re
leased himself from the ear pieces, and
turned to Philip. A messenger had
come and gone. The two women si
lently departed.
"Good morning, Mr. Masters. Won't
you have this chair near the table?"
"Thanks," said Philip. "Are you
Lord Naslng?”
"I am. You know I've Just bought
the Dally Courier?"
"I did not," said Philip.
"And yet I have spent twenty thou,
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," said Philip.
"How would you like to come on the
staff 7“ 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 esn't either. And look at
me! I can hire writers for a couple
of pounds a week."
"But what do you want me to do?"
"I 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
I Bvenwood, the special of The Record,
1 has been able to make nothing of you.
His description of you, and—er—what
we know—In short—"
"And the screw?" 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 Naslng paused. "I will give It
to you. But you know the rules of the
house?"
"No," said Philip.
"No notice given or required. I have
over four hundred start contributor*
and secretaries In this place. Every
one can walk out when he pleases, and
I can shoot ’em out when I please; that
Is fair, Isn't It?"
"Perfectly." said Philip. "Life must
be quite Interesting here."
Lord Naslng laughed. "It Is, he
said 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
to 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 my silence. I'm worth money
In Fleet street. What you can't get
In one way you usually get In another.
That's why you succeed, Lord Naslng.
You think you've got the most valuable
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 the 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 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 man, I yield. But you will
sign your articles."
“I will sign everything I write," Phil
lp agreed. "You want me to begin
right off, I Imagine?"
"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
Bcotland Yard hss got Itself Into?"
Lord Naslng sat down again.
“To my mind," said Philip, "the ex
planation Is perfectly simple. The late
Varcoe—"
"You think he's dead?”
T 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. I am pretty
sure that he hod 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
os he was 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
Lord 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 And It?"
"Who knows?" said Philip. "Hadn't
better be going?"
"Yes," agreed Lord Naslng.
"What about expenses?"
“Carte blanche,” said his lordship.
"I .assume when you say carte
blanche you mean—"
"Carte blanche," his lordship repeat
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 mean 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 spprehenalon concerning John
Meredith affrighted him; and the por
trait of Glralda 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 hts
career.

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
the 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 said:
"I cannot understand how any Amer
ican cltixen who has 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 civilization only as
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 deedney. 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
Yazoo City, Miss., Bept. 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 aa 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 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
Special to The Georgian.
Douglasvllle, Oa., Sept. 10.—Sam
James, a young planter, living near
here, fearing the safety of banks, bur
led oyer $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 arid
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 lo! the crafty wood lice had de
stroyed the box, and the Jar which had
contained the valued treaftire 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
treasury department In Washington.
After a thorough Investigation and
having weighed each parasite the au.
thorttles decided that Sam's money
was still in Its strong box even though
not In Its original form. He received
a check from that department for $560,
reimbursing him for the full amount.
Important Change of Sched
ule on Seaboard Air
Line Railway.
Effective Sunday, September 9th,
Important change of schedule will be
made on the Seaboard Air Line. Par
ticular attention la called to the fact
that train No. 38, which now leaves

September 9tb, leave Atlanta at 8:00
p. m.. Central time.
Special to The (leorglsn.
Nashville, Tcnn., Sept. 10.—The In
terstate Life Insurance Company, with
a capital of a half million dollars, the
funds to be supplied by the physicians
of the South, was chartered here Sat
urday. The promoters figure that the
bulk of losses occur In bad risks
and for that reason they will enlist
the support of the medical profession.
They claim further that the cost of In
surance can be greatly reduced by cut
ting out official extravagant agencies;
that $60,000,000 Is annually paid out In
the South In premiums and only $24,-
000,000 In losses, thereby making $36,-
000,000 to leave the South each year.
BRYAN WILL SPEAK
IN CHARLOTTE, N. C.
Special to The (leorglsn.
Chariots, N. O, Sept. 10.—News was
received .Saturday In the form of a
telegram from Josephus Daniels,
Democratic commlteeman from this
state, that William Jennings Bryan
will speak In Charlotte on his trip
through the state later In the fall, the
exact date being September 11.
It was hoped to secure this eminent
man for the Chautauqua, which will be
held In this city all of next week when
other prominent men will be heard. In
cluding Senator B. R. Tillman and oth
ers; but Mr. Bryan was unable to grant
the request at that time. His coming
has created much satisfaction here
among the many admirers .of the Ne
bras kin.
