THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. DOUBLOONS A THRILLING NOVEL OF MYSTERY, TRAGEDY AND A STOLEN FORTUNE By EDEN PHELLPOTTS AND ARNOLD BENNETT (Copyright, ISM,, hy Eilea rhlllpotta and Arnold Bennett.l 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 A Traveler’s Story. Mr A waa called out of town suddenly. He was not a Belt tele phone subscriber— communication with hla house waa Indirect and unsatisfactory. H* was worked about the folks at home. IN THE MEANTIME Mr. B was also called out of town. He was able to attend to busi ness with an easy mind. He called up his house on the Bell telephone and had a personal talk with the folks. It you are Mr. A— Gill Gmtract Dept.

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. Continued In Tomorrow's Georgian. 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.

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.
