He arose early In an expec tant and nervous condition, and ho was consuming grape-nuts In his chamber, under the relentless gaze *of Oxwtch, before the morning's post, which is always rather later on Mondays than nit other days, had passed through the various sorting processes of the Devon shire mansion and reached his room. When It did come the shocks began. In the first place he had latterly seen nothing of Philip, and a great deal too much of Josephine Fire, and he sent a messenger to Philip at the Corner House on the Sunday night, the tele- phone having proved useless. The messenger had not found Philip, and had left a note requesting Philip to write to Sir Anthony by the midnight post without fall, making an appoint ment for Monday. Tony, like all the rest of London, was In a fever of cu riosity concerning the latest develop ments of the Pollexfen affair, and he felt that Philip had unjustly neglected him. He had a million questions to put to Philip, and quite seventy and seven theories to suggest, and he was relying absolutely on receiving some word with his Monday's grape-nuts. But there was no letter from Philip In the little pile; there was not even a postcard. There was a bill for hose, a prospectus of the Sword Club, a notice from the Serpentine Swimming Club, an Invitation to a galanty show at the Grafton Gallery and another for a lec ture on Socrates at the Hotel Majestic, a note from Josephine breaking an appointment, an emotional epistle from his tailors saying that they would need all the help he could give them In the delicate matter of fitting a dress suit recently ordered, and a sisterly letter from his sister, Mrs. Appleby. On reading the last he Interrupted the feast to explain to Oxwlch. “Mrs. Appleby ls coming to lunch." he murmured In a voice of manly resignation. "Certainly, sir. But this Is your Turkish bath day.” “I must leave that till tomorrow." “Certainly, sir. But tomorrow Is your banjo lesson, the dress suit try-on and the new chauffeur to choose." Tony stroked a wayward fragment of grape-nut from the lapel of his ollvo silk dressing gown. "Oxwlch,” he said, with an air of momentous decision, "I shan't be able to have my Turkish bath this week— that's the plain English of It.” "I tear so, sir." "My nephew Is coming for lunch, too," said Tony, apologetically. "Master Horace, sir?" Oxwlch was obviously pained. "Well, I haven't got forty nephews. Yes. Master Horace." "Perhaps I had better look up the cigarettes, sir?" “Yes. Now about lunch"— “Yes, sir. Now about lunch." The Important question about lunch was on the very point of being dis cussed when a third shock happened to Sir Anthony, and this third shock was so powerful that the important question of Monday's lunch never was discussed at all. It was forgotten, shelved, ad journed sine die, A servant entered the dining room to say that some wanted to Bpeak to Sir Anthony. "Go and see, Oxwlch," Tony ordered. And the Grand Vizier departed to Indicate to the visitor the extent of the visitor's absurdity In wishing to see Sir Anthony at a quarter to nine In the morning. Sir Anthony addressed himself to the newly Invented descriptive advertise ments In the Times newspaper, which at that period were enjoying a greater success In clubs and mansions than anything since the lamented death of De Blowltz. Oxwlch returned almost Immediately. "It's a man with a silver salver. Sir Anthony." ,. "What do I want with silver salver?" "It Isn't exactly silver, sir—I should say It's Britannia ware." "And If It Is?" "There’s some writing scratched on It and he says It’s for you, and he ain’t going to give It to nobody but you, as he says, sir. Oxwtch's Imi tations of popular dialect were apt to be somewhat stlif. •Who Is the man?" ‘Tie’s a waterman, Sir Anthony— something to do with the Thames, I be *‘Devili8h odd, Isn’t it 7” “X should venture respectfully to ad vise you to see him. sir,” n„m,i»h C °The°nmn was brought Into the pres- en }ie was a fat person.

At any the honorable rate, he replied distantly: me, sir." “Where do you say you found the thing?" "1 say I found It In my boat, sir.” “And where was your boat?" "My boat was lying oft Green's wharf. Poplar, sir." "Had It been there long?" “All night, sir." "Perhaps X had better make a note of this person's statements, sir," Oxwlch whispered dramatically, and his mas ter nodded. Oxwlch carried a note book like a policeman and like a po liceman he drew It out. Only the word "reward" scratched on the platter pre vented the waterman from violently protesting.' "And you went to your boat at halt past 7 this morning?" "Yes, sir. At half past 7." "It was lying In the sternsheets against the tiller." “You might ask him what time he left the boat last night, sir,” Oxwlch murmured. "I was Just going to. What time did you leave the boat last night, my man?" ■ “I didn't leave It last night. I left It at 1 o'clock this morning." "So that some one must have put the platter In your boat between 1 o'clock and 7; 30 this morning?” "You may reckon It out like that, sir.” "You have no Idea who put It In?" "No more than you. sir, or ’im." And the waterman jerked his head to ward Oxwlch. “It might have been dropped In from the wharf, eh?" “Or from a passing ship," Oxwlch whispered. The waterman smiled. "Could It have been dropped In from a passing ship?" asked Tony. "What! Into a boat tied up to a wharf? You ain't got to think as a ship Is a blessed hansom cab as goes about grazing lamp-posts and corners. No! There was, howsumever, a ship a-Iying off the wharf, and my boat was alongside of her, between her and the wharf, sir." “Then, do you think the platter was dropped off that ship Into your boat?" “I never think about things as ain't my affair. It don't pay in the cus toms. But I don’t say as that platter wasn’t dropped out o' that boat” "If I may offer a remark, sir," Ox wlch put In, "the salver was more prob ably dropped from the ship than from the wharf. Assuming the gentleman who wished the salver to reach you to have been on the wharf, why should he htfve chosen to drop It Into a boat? He was on dry land, and could have done all sorts of things. Whereas, If he was on the ship, his choice was limited —In fact strictly limited." "Moreover,” said the waterman, "I don’t say as the portholes o' that there ship weren't pretty small, and X don’t say as a man mightn't have bent this platter, as it is bent, to shove It through one of them portholes. If he did he had a fist on 'Im, he 'ad." “And Mr. Masters was possessed of exceptional physical force, sir,” added Oxwlch. It Is plain," said Tony, astounded by his own penetration, "that the plat ter was dropped off the ship Into your boat.” Especially as It's a nhlp'o platter." said the boatman. "The ship is still there?" Tony re sumed his examination. "If she is she's put back," the wa terman replied. "She cast off at 5 o’clock this morning, accordin' to what I'm told." "What kind of a ship was she?" "She wasn’t no kind of a ship, to speak of, sir. No class. She was an old tub as called herself a steam yacht. Belfast built, about 300 hundred ton. Been on hire In Westerton's yard for two year or more.” What Is her namo?" The White Rose ilr.” Then someone has hired her cently?” •'Or bought her. There’s fools enough on Thames’ side. Gawd knows. You'ilon't know who?" I don’t know nothing more. sir. And If It’s all the samo to you, I must be going, sir. I've got to sign on at noon. And If the party as Is scribbling wants my name he can have It, and address.” He touched his forehead to Tony, an- tlclpatoriiy. "Well, my man. here's a sovereign for your trouble," said the baronet, af ter the waterman had Imparted the details of his Identity. "Thank you, sir," said the water men, gloomily. "That'll leave me six teen and eleven, not to mention as there's my fares back again. Say fif teen shillings for me when all’s paid. Well" Tony was of an extremely generous disposition. He saw at once that, hav ing regard to the peculiarity of the case, he had perhaps not been too lav ish In this instance; but like most generous people he was rendered utr terly hard by an accusation of stingi ness. He stared at the waterman In haughty silence. "Why, the platter s worth that, mut tered the waterman, disillusioned. "And a 'sir,' too!" "Oxwlch,” said Sir Anthony, when the man had gone, "we must find out what Grand Etang means." •'Yes, sir. It is evidently the name or a place, and sounds French manager of the Mansion Inform Sir Anthony where Grand Etang was. The manager of the Mansion, however, could not, but he promised vaguely to move In the matter. Then Oxwlch returned perusing the Index of the Atlas as he walked. He triumphed at the very Instant of re-entering the room. There were two Grand Etangs In the index of the Atlas. But the triumph of Oxwlch was brief, for both the Grand Etangs proved to be little inland spots In France—places to which not even an old tub of three hundred tons could possibly voyage. “Oxwlch,” said Sir Anthony finally, “you must go up to the British Mu. aeum.” ■'Yee, ilr,” replied Oxwlch In a voice of desperation. At the moment Mrs. Appleby and her aon, Horace, entered. Oxwtch having been torn from hie duties to the pur suit of learning, these visitors had been allowed to come In without any cere mony or precautions. "We've come early, bo as to epend.the day with you, darling," laid Mrs. Ap pleby. Sir Anthony stared desolately at the arrival. 'Where Is Grand Etang, sonny?" he demanded abruptly of Horace. “Grand Etang? It's something rAnAflii. iinnln " nnAwnrorl thn surr Grand' certainly means great, sir. "Obviously, and I fancy that Etang means a pond or something of that kind, llrlng me the Encyclopaedia Brltannlca. That will tell us every- th ’Tardon me, sir. You forgot. You Instructed me to sell the Encyclopae din Brltannlca some months ago—that day when you were looking up bicy cle and found the mile record given as 3 minutes. YJou said the work was out Grenada, uncle," answered the surpris ing child without the least hesitation, thus justifying his mother's estimate of his erudition. “It's either a mountain or a valley or a river, or aomethlng of that kind. We had the West Indies last week In Jography.” Sir Anthony precipitated himself upon the volumes containing G, and sought Grenada. Yes, surely. Grand Etang was therel Though given nelth er as a mountain nor a valley nor a river, but as an Island lake, It was In dubltably there! It had lain hidden In the Encyclopedia Brlttanlca all the morning, and Its discovery was due to Horace alone. Oh. that's It! That’s It right enough!" said Sir Anthony addressing Oxwlch. "You remember the talk about the West Indies at the Inquest! That'i It.” Then I needn’t go to the British Museum, sir?" "No.” It was a moment of unique pride for the mother of the astonishing Horace, who had made the British Museum un necessary. Horace pulled peppermint out of his pocket and ate Jt boldly. He hart earned the right to do so. Oxwlch bowed and was departing, when the door re-opened, and another visitor was shown In, still without any of the Oxwlchlan precautions. It was a veiled wuman. who raised her veil as she entered. Oxwlch himself blanched. "You!" Sir Anthony exclaimed, stag gered. And Mary Pollexfen nodded. She then sank Into a chair and went very pale. Mrs. Appleby rose. "Tony," said Mrs. Appleby, "this lady seems III. Shall I”— "No, thanks," said Mary Pollexfen. "I shall be all right In a few minutes." "Tony,” said Mrs. Appleby, with meaning.

No doubt you have heard her name.” Mrs. Appleby having thus by acci dent infringed upon the more romantic aide of hor brother's existence, grew fluffier than ever. "Charmed," she said.

BRONZE EAGLE TO ADORN WI8CON8IN MONUMENT. to Th*» Georgian. Americas, Oa.. Sept. 17.—The Clarke monumental works, of Amerfcus, Is now holding in wait a beautiful bronze eagle to adorn the Wisconsin statue which will be unveiled at Andersonvllle short ly, In memory of the Wisconsin dead in thut cemetery. The eagle Is about four feet tall and Is indeed a beautiful piece of work. With the seating capacity crowded to the limit, the Ponce DeLeon Avenue Baptist church waa Sunday morning formally opened and dedicated. About two years ago steps were taken by a number of members of the First, Second and Jackson Hill Bap tist churches to arrange for the or ganization of a Baptist church In the northern section of the city, and this resulted In the formation of what Is now officially known as the Ponce De Leon Avenue church. Ex-Governor William J. Northen was elected chair man of the board of deacons, and George M. Brown waa appointed chair man of the building committee. The matter of securing a suitable house of worship was Immediately taken up, with the result that a lot on the corner of Piedmont and Ponce DeLeon avenue waa secured and the building com menced. In 1905 the Rev. Junius W. Millard was called to the pastorate from Bal timore, and under his able guidance the church has shown almost unexampled prosperity and growth. With a mem bership of less than 200, there has been raised the entire amount of the cost of the building, about $60,000, so that when the dedication exercises were held Sunday morning there was no In debtedness on the church or lot. The formal exercises of dedication were In charge of the pastor and board of deacons, and the sermon of the morning was preached by Dr. W. W. Landrum, of the First Baptist church, that bolng the congregation from which a large part of the members had come. In the evening the services were con ducted by Rev. John E. White, of the Second Baptist church, the next largest number of members having come from Dr. White’s congregation. On Monday evening there will be a service at which will be delivered u number of congratulatory addresses from the other pastors In the same section of the city. During the remain der of the week and next week sermons and addresses will be delivered by prominent Baptist divines from various sections of the country.

JUDGE BUSSELL'S PLANS FOR FUTURE Report Has It That He Will Help Build Rail- ■ roads. As Judge R. B. Russell resigned the Judgeship of the western circuit to make the recent race fgr»governor, his friends over the state aro naturally anxious to know his plans for the future. When asked by a friend for a state ment of his plans, his prompt reply was: “Whatever I do, I shall not forget the convictions for which I fought In my race for governor, and I expect to do what I can In educating the people to an understanding of their Impor tance and In having these convictions enacted Into laws.” One rumor says he will be a candi date for a judgeship on the court of appeals, but good authority stamps this as unfounded. Another rumor has it that he has been offered a partnership In a promi nent law Arm In the state, while still another rumor goes the rounds that he Is the recipient of an offer from wealthy South Georgians to form a partnership for building railroads, the Idea being to build short lines or con necting links between main lines in that part of the state. It Is understood that Judge Russell has been guaranteed by friends In At lanta a good sum to deliver that much- talked-of lecture here on his expenses in the recent gubernatorial campaign. Judging from many favorable remarks, he would have a large audience to hear him.
