This observation will by Itself show how far this woman's Invincible curi osity and talent for arranging the af fairs of other people had carried her In the space of a few hours. She and Mary Pollexfen and Sir Anthony sat together In Sir Anthony's drawing room after the lift boy was amusing him self at varying altitudes of the Dev onshire mansion. Much had passed since the arrival of the two ladles in the morning. Mrs. Appleby, not at all displeased to become acquainted with a stage celebrity of the first order, had behaved to Mary Pollexfen with marked tact. She had moreover been considerably Impressed by Mary’s clothes and Mary's manner. And Mary, on the other hand, was really thankful to have a Mrs. Appleby pres ent at the Interview with the baronet —that baronet whom she had so often and so coldly rebuffed, but of whom she despised nothing but his Intelli gence. Mary’s narrative of the events of the previous day, given to Sir Anthony and Mrs. Appleby in conclave (Mrs. Appleby had no intention of being kept out of anything), had stimulated the baronet's sluggish imagination. He had passed through the stages of amaze ment, admiration, envy, and he was now at the stage of emulation. The wonderful romantic things thdt Mary Pollexfen and Philip Masters had done begot in him a desire to do things equally wonderful himself. That Mary had lived for many days In the Corner house as a man startled him; it star tled him indeed more than It startled hls sister, who, like most women of Irreproachable correctness, was Inca pable, really, of being shocked; Mrs. Appleby had not pretended even to be startled. Philip’s rash disappearance into Poplar, and his mysterious capture, and the strange message, each contrib uted to throw new light on existence for Tony. He would have thought such occurrences Impossible had he merely read of them; but now, with the bent platter on hls mantelpiece, he went to the other extreme and thought them entirely natural and began to fancy that life was made up of similar epi sodes. Despite protests, he had rushed off with Oxwlch In the motor car to Poplar before lunch. But he had dis covered naught, the widow Upottery having, of course, contrived not to leave behind her tracks crude enough to be perceived by the Sir Anthony of this world. He had also run to earth the owner of the White Rose, who had nothing to tell him, save that the yacht had been chartered by an Individual named Smythe, whose address was the general postoffice. He had further communicated with the police, and the police had received him coldly and In credulously, promising without enthu siasm to examine hls report in due course. The police being aware that Philip had turned journalist and not having gathered much comfort from hls article In The Morning Courier, scarcely disposed to put themselves about because he had vanished, or, as they hinted, pretended to vanish. "Go after him, eh?" said Sir An thony, jumping up from the sofa. "That's an Idea. Something’s certain ly got to bo done. What’s the name ot the lino that runs to the West Indies. Royal Mail, Isn’t 4t? I’ll ring for tea, Horace having made friends with Oxwlch." And he rang. Oxwlch en tered Instantly, the man was never far from the door during a crisis. "Ox wlch, telephone to the Royal Mall line offices and find out when the next steamer goes to the West Indies." have already found out, Sir An thony," replied Oxwlch. "There Is a complete list of steamship sailings clown stairs. Next Saturday week, sir. A boat left Southampton only the day before yesterday." "Thank you.” Oxwlch withdrew, having added an other atom to the coral reef of hls reputation. "That's nearly a fortnight," said Sir Anthony, dashed. "But you can hire a yacht, dear," said Mrs. Appleby, imperturbably smoothing out the flounces of her strik ing dress. "Can I?" "Why, of course, dearest! And In a yacht you can go where you like.” "Uah- dn VA1! hlr*» thfi VAPhtS ?” How do you hire tho yachts?" Tony demanded, hls imagination getting a new fillip. . , . •'1—I don't know,” said Mrs. Appleby. You Just hire them. I expect It's quite simple—like hiring n salmon riv er, or a moor or a special train. I dare say vou could hire a nice large yacht, One that nobody would be sea-sick on. I don't mean one of those sailing things. I mean a steam yacht, with electric light, and a cow on board." Sir Anthony sank once more. "Oxwlch," he said, "get me Kellys Directory from somewhere. I want the names nnd addresses of some yacht brokers.” Yes, sir,” Oxwlch agreed, nnd then after n majestic pause, "Perhaps one of the yacht newspapers might be more useful, sir." •Just so, exactly.” __ That man of yours Is a pearl, Mrs. Appleby observed. "He understands me, Tony agreed nonchalantly. And presently the baronet wax read ing aloud from the Yachting World: Six hundred and fifty ton (about) Mar*, and three sons, Tom Penn. nunm ™ /"{Sq_ to r lovd's 5/M'ntlrello; F.,U Penn, of El Paso, steel steam yacht, built 189 to Lloyds P *»"> " f Memphis. hlg a h m e. , j C | a.s. t Len ru hW.

"It Is precisely what you need, dear est," said Mrs. Appleby, "If only It has a pretty name.” "Miss Pollexfen," Tony bdrst out suddenly, dropping the paper, "you do not say anything." "I—i—what am I to say?” Mary murmured. "You see," Mrs. Appleby added quickly In a manner-of-fact tone, un able any longer to keep her cards off the table, "Horace and I. could go with you, to keep you company. The voyage would be such a good thing for Horace. And besides hls health. It would be such an education for him, wouldn’t It?*' "Oh!" exclaimed Tony, who found himself still receiving shocks. And Mrs. Appleby calmly continued: "Miss Pollexfen might also go, as our guest. I am sure you must be very solicitous, clear Miss Pollexfen, about the fate of this brave young man who Is running such risks on your behalf." Mrs. Appleby's spirit of enterprise was breath-taking. It brought a blush to Mary’s cheek, but no words to Mary’s tongue. "And there’s another point*” pro ceeded Mrs. Appleby. "If Miss Pollex fen stays In England, her whereabouts are certain to become known, and she would be worried to death by detectives and things." "Miss Pollexfen," Tony asked her, what do you say?" "It Is extremely kind of you,” Mary managed to reply. "I don't know what to"— Tony nerved himself. "It depends you," he said. "If It depends on me," she answered In a new firm volet, with a decisive gesture, "I will go." Tony rang the bell. "Oxwlch, put me on to 6969 Gerrard. When he came back from telephon ing, Mary Pollexfen was alone In the drawing room, Mrs. Appleby having departed to convey delicious posstbill ties tq her offspring. "I’m going down to see Boyds at once," said Tony, flushed with hls own Importance. The potentialities of a fortune of 400,000 pounds had been more fully than ever revealed to the young man that afternoon. A steam yacht. It seemed strange to him that the sublime notion of a steam yacht had never before crossed hls mind. He was drunk with the scheme. Mary stood up. "You are very, very good," she replied, with deep feeling. And suddenly the atmosphere changed for Tony. The fact that Philip Mas ters was In actual veritable danger be came somehow Intensely real to him. "Not at all. You know Phil Is a great pal of mine." And supposing you go—we go, what shall you do when you get out there, to Grenada?" "That will depend. We may have to consult the local police." "I hope nothing terrible will happen," Mary breathed. "Why do-you Imagine such things?" "Because I have been thinking there may be something In that hidden treas ure story of the negro Coco’s after all. And if money is concerned—and my uncle—’’ "Do you know," cried Tony, "that’s just what I’ve been, thinking—I mean about the treasure. As for risks. How can there be any risk? Why Phil should be cdVrled off to a place like Grenada, I can’t Imagine. But we’ll find him. I tell you what—It wouldn't be a bad plan to get hold of Marse Co co and hear him talk, eh? He might be useful." "I should like to very much," Mary answered. "He was my poor fathM-’s friend, the only friend he had, I think." The voice almost broke. And Tony, as he called briskly for hls hat and overcoat, had a dim vague sense of the grim quality of the whole adventure. And he perceived Mary as a tragic and remote figure, far above, not for him, In a sphere of emotions ut terly different from hls. Such slm pie, vain, good-natured men have at times such glimpses. there was not a single decent restau rant—using the word ’’decent” in Phil ip’s sense—nor a single building that met hls eye in a friendly manner. Then the mean JJgljts of Stepney Station appeared, and Philip was ob liged to descend again unprotected in the hostile country. He was geograph ically so lost-that he knew not east from west. He had heard of Stepney chiefly as a district owning a bishop; he might have been in Strasburg, Staf- fa or Stornaway. "How do I go on from here?" he asked the cabman respectfully. And the cabman looked down on hint from hls box. "Any of these trams," said the cabman. "I don't know' as they goes to Cotton street, but they goes to Poplar." "Is it much farther?” "I should say It’s a tidy step." He boarded a tram which he ought to have boarded at Aldgate. The conductor actually knew Cotton street, and Philip, enheartened, re garded him as a man and a brother. The tram was a leisurely apparatus. The entire population of Stepney and Poplar seemed to get In and out of It about three times. It passed churches and manufactories. It crossed water by means of bridges, and Philip saw the masts of ships dimly against the night sky. He also saw now and then, when the train stopped, posters on the walls In languages of which he could not make out a single character. Then the tram drew up at another large rail way station and a couple of hundred yards farther on the conductor tipped him a familiar wink. "'Ere y'are,” said the conductor. And Philip had to descend, had to leave hls sole acquaintance in that des olate region. ANSLEY PARK AUCTION SALE POSTPONED ON ACCOUNT OF RAIN UNTIL Monday, Sept. 24th, 2:30 P.

F. E. PURSE TH E PRINTER." CHAPTER XX. Travels in London. After quitting Mary Pollexfen In Kingsway, Philip Masters did not reach Poplar on the Sunday evening without a considerable amount of difficulty. Like many Londoners, he knew not hls London. He had probably never in his life been further east than Aldgate; It Is doubtful If he ever knew the "Three Nuns." He hailed a hansom Just north of St. Clement, Dane's, and remarked airily to the cabman: "Cotton street, Poplar, No. 7." The No. 7 was delicious. "Not me!" said the cabman. "What’s It worth?’’ Philip Inquired, trying to look generous. "It ain’t worth anything," the cab man replied. "I'm not going to Pop lar tonight, guv-nor. I’ll drive you to Aldgate, if you like." Philip accepted. At Aldgate, w’here he already felt himself In a foreign land, or rather In a hostile country strongly held by an enemy, where he didn’t know even the exterior of the churches, where the streets were full of trams Instead of crawling cabs, It was with a certain sinking of the heart that he saw hls own vehicle vanish. He ought to have been content with a I tram, but he lacked skill In the lore of *ondon travel, nnd loitered about for | another hansom. Fortune favored ' him. ! "Cotton street, Poplar,” he said to the driver, wisely leaving out the No. 7 on this occasion. And to hls surprise and disgust the 1 cabman replied. "Mot me, guv-nor." "It Isn't far. Is it?" Philip questlon- •*tl, somewhat wistfully. It’s further than I'm going this I blessed night," said the cabman. ’Til • take you to Ptepney Station If Syou j like. That’s Just In the radius," odor of the tram remained with him Just as he had heard of Stepney, so he had heard of Poplar, and he was In It. Hls own London seemed to be in another hemisphere. Close by was curious church, and Its clock struck 12 just as Philip w*as hesitating at the corner of East India Dock road and Cotton street. He remembered that Glralda, too, had been down there, all alone, and he whistled In order to create In himself a feeling of manliness. In less than a minute he stood In front of No. 7. far as he could judge In the obscurity of the badly lit street It was a house unutterably mean and melancholy. A light was burning In tho hall, as a light had been burning In the hall of the Corner House on Just such an evening. He wont up the two steps and knocked loud nnd bold. A rather short, firmly built man opened the door. "I want to see Mrs. Upottery,” Phil ip said at once. He had no intention of raising the point whether or not Mrs. Upottery lived there, or had lived there. The man seemed to hesitate. "Mrs. Upottery?” he murmured in a thick, heavy voice. "Yes, Mrs. Upottery." We don’t want any friends of Mrs. Upottery here," said the man In a tone of finality. "A nice time of .night to come waking people up." "I'm not a friend of Mrs. Upottery, mate," Philip protested. "But I've got to speak s to her." "Wejl, she ain't In." "When will she be In." "She w’on’t be In. At least I hope not. She turned this house upside down. She’s made forty times more mess than she's worth. And she ain’t paid her bill properly. If my mother had her here she r d claw her blooming eyes out for her. that’s what she’d do. And quick.” The man was furious against Mrs. Upottery. He made ns If to close the door, but Philip put hls foot In It, at the same time holding out half a crown, which glinted in the feeble light. "See here, mate,” said he persua sively, "If that’s any use to you It's yours. I'd like to have a bit of a chat with you. I shan't keep you tw'o mln- Wlthout waiting for an Invitation, Phil lp slipped Inside the house. A candle burned crookedly in a pewter stick on a deal table. The sides of the passage were shiny with grease, and the floor was of no special color, or substance. Philip’s eyes Interrogated the man’s. Ho was shabbily dressed, but not ex tremely so. He wore a cap, and a leather belt showed under hls waist coat. Hls face was pale. At first he gave the Impression of being young, but this Impression passed; he might have been almost any age. "What do you want to know?" he asked gruffly. "You say Mrs. Upottery’s been kick ing up a dust here. What about?" "How do I know what about? I only know os she’s going as stewardess, or something, on a yacht. But If you ask me, she’s a queer lot. What surprises me is that the police ain’t been after her. If she ain’t a Jailbird, then I never seen one. And I seen a few, too." "A yacht?" "Yes. I did hear she was bound for the West Indies—Grenada—Grand Etang—-damned If I can reciect tho names. But the old woman’s been Jab bering about Grand Etang ever since she came in tonight." Philip was Immensely Interested. "Where Is she now ?" "She’s gone down to the yacht with her-bundle." Where’s the yacht?” She’s lying off Green’s wharf, If she hasn’t sailed." Philip thought a moment. "Far from here?" he questioned. "No, not that far." "If you'll come out and take me there at once," said Philip, feeling in hf~ pocket, "there’s five shillings for you "lil do It," said the man promptly. "Come on.” They went outside Instantly and the man banged the door. He led the way down Cotton street, Philip following. They crossed Poplar High street, and soon Philip found himself floundering over lines of railway amid little groups of loaded wagons with a red signal here and there In the distance. The man walked fast and never looked behind. The route lay over uneven ground; all The Prudential Insurance Company of America Home Office, Newark, N. J.

Then some sheds loomed up and a warehouse. The man passed along an entry lighted by an oil lainjj "Look out,” he said at last. Philip saw lights. He stood on ;l wharf. The vast and heaving Thames lay astontshlngly before him with the shipping of the world on its broad bosom. Two steamers were alongside, and Into one of them a ateam crane, with an Incredible thunderous rattle and screech, was pouring bulky pack ages. Men cried to one another be tween the ship and wharf. Philips guide walked up the wharf to a long, sloping gangway that gave access to the other steamer. Philip observed the name "White Rose" on a dirty gray life buoy. A thin smoke was oozing from the funnel. A solitary lantern showed from the mast. The guide crossed the gangplank, Philip at his heels. And as Philip gained the deck of the mysterious steamer he paused a moment to take In the scene, with its wide water, Its tarry, oily odor of ships, Its gliding, spectral lights, and Its wet id sounds. The very air smelt of the sea. This was London. This was the city of Piccadilly Circus, and the Al cazar, and the Devonshire Mansion. "Down here," the man called, Indi cating a companion ladder, but he re membered nothing else for quite a long time. (Continued In Tomorrow's Georgian.) WALTER BALLARD OP TICAL CO.

Augusta, Ga., Sept. 18.—The total en rollment of the white pupils In the city schools yesterday was 2,401, which Is about 40 more than It was last year. The Increase will be greater this year, however, than it was lost year, as there ore a number of pupils to enroll before the end of the week. It la strange to note that both of the schools in the upper wards have liberal Increases, while the schools in the lower wards have decreased. The two upper wards have a large number of factory chil dren In them, and It may be possible that the factory people have been read ing up on the "child labor laws," and especially on the "compulsory educa tional" clause.
