THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, DOUBLOONS A THRILLING NOVEL OF MYSTERY, TRAGEDY AND A STOLEN FORTUNE By EDEN PHTLLPOTTS AND ARNOLD BENNETT •Copyright, 1900. by Eden r^uipotu and Aroold t'.naett.i CHAPTER XXIX. Auckengray'a Second Sight. "Hullo, Tony!" paid Philip with an affectation of Imperturbable calm; he atood at the door of the drawing room ■aloon, holding aside the green portiere with one band. Sir Anthony was seat ed at the little Broadwood piano, ab sently engaged In the Infantile game pushing down the keys without making a sound. One of Mrs. Appleby's most emotional songs, "O Dry Those Tears." was open on the music stand. The baronet turned, saw Philip, grasped the fact that It really was Philip, and then vented his first explosion of sur prise In a terrific oath Involving him self, and beginning with the first per son singular of the present tense of an auxiliary verb. Nothing but that par ticular oath would have met the case. He strode half way across the floor, then stopped, and deliberately repeated the oath. Whereupon ■ they met and shook hands. It Is difficult for complex and self observant souls to behave quite natu rally under stress of suoh strange meet ings, but Tony's soul was simple, and he behaved with perfect naturalness. His pleasure nnd satisfaction and curi osity expressed themselves freely and naively, and the greatest of these was perhaps his satisfaction. He forgot Instantly the failure of the day and the list of his stupidities, and saw only that he had traversed half the world to And Philip and had found him. His opinion of himself flew up like a flag, and he honestly thought that Sir An thony was one of the cleverest fellows on earth. ‘‘Well, well, old chap!" he bussed glowingly round Philip. “You see I got your famous salver all right, and came after you at once. And here we are! Well, well! Came straight to you. Scent breast high, upon my word. Now tell me how you got aboard. You gave me a rare start!” , "I want a drink,” said Philip, drop, ping Into a chair. "Of course you do. Oxwlch! ring for Oxwlch." And he rang. The electric bell was out of order, but a sufficiently loud sll outwitting both you and the police also. Tony blushed at mention of the po lice. He had not quite forgotten his hoodwinking of the mom. P° llce have been informed,” said he, awkwardly. “But they would have nothing to do with my expedition. I expect they are still poking about London to find Pollexfen.” "Just like ’em,”' Philip observed. Now, old chap, to business. You’ve decided you won’t give up the Job.” "I’m f 1 ll If T (1A •• Dr, 1.1 DIh A — * l 'I'm d d If I do," said 8lr Anth ony. "I'll see It through. Pollexfen may get his precious treasure, but what'* he going to do with It when he gets It? We'll follow' him everywhere till we can put him in Jail." "Pardon the liberty, sir,” Oxwlch pi.. In. "But do you believe everything that everybody tells you?" "What do you mean?" "I mean, sir, about this treasure store. It seems to me It's rather late In Anno Domini for a smart chap like this Pollexfen to be hunting for treas ure. If he’s really serious he must have slipped by accident Into the neither believe nor disbelieve,' Philip answered. "I know Pollexfen li one of the greatest actors alive. And I admit him to be capable of decelv lng any one about anything. But stll. ncllne to the opinion that he has not deceived me on this point, and that hs Is certainly searching doubloons.” Doubloons!” Sir Anthony repeated ver gong stood on a side table with a lot of bottles and glasses. ' The demeanor of Oxwlch, who, en tering with extreme quietude, saw Phil ip before Philip saw him, was a pleas ing study in self-control. He had the heroism to display no symptom of even the mildest until Philip spoke to him. “Glad to see you again, Oxwlch.” "Very kind of you, sir. I am more than glad to see you, sir.” That was all. He rubbed his hands slowly. "Whisky and soda, eh?" Tony ques tlonsd abrutly. Philip nodded. "Whisky and soda. Yes, sir,” said Oxwlch, going to the side table. He turned his head and Inquired with steady features: "Stiff, Mr. Masters?" "Stiff, Oxwlch." "Mine, too, Oxwlch," said Sir An thony. "I may as well tell you at once,' said Philip, taking the glass ceretnon lously offered by Oxwlch, "I can't stop here. I’ve got to go back. I'm tmly here on leave. I must get away again to tt)e other yacht. Oxwlch, will you reflll my glass? Thanks.” He then succinctly gave the Informa tion which he had already Imparted to Mary. "Why, man, you're mad!” Tony ex claimed. "Am I?” said Philip. "And what would you do In my place? Break your word?" "Another, sir?" Oxwlch mildly asked. "No, thanks." "Do you hear this, Oxwlch?" the baronet cried. "Mr. Masters intends to go back to the scoundrel, and what Is more, he wants us to give up the ex pedition." His accent on the word 'expedition* narrowly escaped the sub lime. "But listen. Oxwlch,” Philip argued, addressing the man Instead of the mas ter. "You know enough of Pollexfen to know how dangerous the thing Is. Sir Anthony has no Idea what he Is going In for." ' "Might I ask, sir, what this Pollex fen Is going In for?" Oxwlch observed. "Treasure,” said Philip. "And he means to get It, and to get all of It.” "In the Immediate district, sir?" "At the Grand—No, I cannot talk about that. I was forgetting my promise." "Just so, sir. You stopped Just In time, didn't you, sir?" "And you must remember, said Philip, glancing at Tony, "that you've got ladles on board." "I.eave 'em ashore here,” Tony re turned. "If t may venture to say so, sir," Ox wlch remarked, "I doubt whether the ladies would consent to be left. But, on the other hand, I do not see the danger. Considering that the Wander er is guaranteed to steam thirteen knots and can really steam twelve, whereas It appears that the White Bose can only steam eight, I do not see the danger, at any rate to those who remain on board the Wanderer. If I have aright the lessons of the last naval manoeuvres, we should always be able to choose our distance." "Yes, of course,” said Sir Anthony. “That's exactly what I was thinking. Nothing can prevent us from keeping Pollexfen In Sight, >nd we run no risk In doing so.” "That depends," said Philip. "What does it depend on?” "It depends on Pollexfen. Pve not spent n fortnight with him for noth ing. Are the police on his track, too? Because I back him to be equal to ■And my notion like Pollexfen Is seriously searching for doubloons and has committed a homicide or so In furtherance of Ms quest doubloons are likely to be about. . . You don't think so, Oxwlch?" "To be frank, sir," said Oxwlch, do not.” "I was of your opinion at first, t wich." He looked at his watch. "Tin up." he said. "But how are you going back? You won't have one of our boats, my son. ~ can promise you," said Sir Anthony. "White Rose's boat waiting alom side.' Goodbyl Good lucki I’m gli you’ve decided not to give up. What ony af fectionately by the shoulder. "I shall be all right. I've made my bed and fancy I can He on It. See one another again when this little affair Is over. Au revolr, Oxwlch." And he shook Oxwlch's unwilling hand. There was a certain amount of feel lng In the air. "I suppose you’ve heard of 'force ma- Jeure,' sir," Oxwlch remarked, tran qullly. "Vaguely." Philip smiled. "Why?" "You are going back to that rascal In the White Rose, sir, if I may sa; so. In pursuance of a promised woi You gave your oath you wouldn't „ anything against him, and you gave your oath to return." "I did." "Well, sir, there's an article In The Encyclopedia Brltanntca that says that an oath of promise given under 'force majeure,' If I may use the term, is not binding, either morally or legal ly." Philip laughed. "That's not good enough, my friends," said. he. * "You have advantage of me as regards the Encyclopedia Brltannl But you know I'm an English man." rather expected you would sa; that, sir,” Oxwlch rejoined. "And _ didn't suppose that sort of an ency- -' 11a argument would appeal to you, he turned to his master, "there’s another sore of force majeure, and another sort of argument, 8lr Anthony, that will appeal to Mr. Masters, even If he’s an Englishman fifty times over. As I am myself, sir." "What's that?" "The brute force argument, sir. If I may say so. Mr. Masters might be irevented from leaving the ; iave given no promise to tl fen person. We owe no explanations to this Pollexfen person. We didn't ask Mr. Masters to come on board—Excuse me, sir. I'm sure I'm delighted you've come." 'By Jove, Oxwlch," Sir Anthony stamped his feet. "That’s Just what I was thinking myself. Why should we let Mr. Masters go? We won't let you go, old man. Consider yourself our prisoner. We'll keep you." It was as If a thunderstorm bad sud denly gathered Its forces around them and was about to break. "Will you?" said Philip queerly. think not." "Oh, nonsense!" the baronet laughed awkwardly. "Come, old man. You'll give up.” And he seised his arm. Loose me,” said Philip, flushing. Loose me! Don’t be a fool. What kind of a nice position are you going to put me In?” "I don’t think that Mr. Masters' feel ings ought to be taken Into considera tion. Sir Anthony. Of course, he must struggle. We recognise that. But you and I, sir, will be too many for him.” The two men closed on Philip, who fought desperately and with swift an ger. struggling?" he exclaimed. "Let me go. It's disgraceful. I've promised, and my promise has got to he kept." "That's It, sir,” said Oxwlch, breath ing hard. "Stick to his arm. We can lock him up in the smoking room, sir." As Oxwlch spoke these words a slight sound came from the smoking room, which comtnunlcated with the drawing room; but the three men were ton deeply absorbed In themselves to hear It. The battle waged holly; two chairs were overturned; a glass was knocked from the table and found dis aster on the carpet. And then Sir Anthony oaught sight of a figure In the doorway at the op posite end of the saloon faom tho smok ing room, and he Instinctively desisted from the attack. Mary Pollexfen stood there, pale In her white dress against the dark background. She was mo tionless; she might have been there a long time. “What are you doing, Sir Anthony V she asked In a faltering. voice, and stepped forward Into the room. Oxwlch collected himself and as sumed the valet's posture, but his cra vat was accusingly untied. "We—we're stopping Phil from run ning off," replied the'baronet. "And docs Mr. Masters want to be stopped ?" "No, I don’t," said Philip with fierce emphasis. "I don't, and I won't be!” iut ' “I may be wrong, Sir Anthony," Mary said, "but I think Mr. Masters ought to decide." She was glorious In that Instant with dilated nostrils, eyes flashing, and arm regully uplifted. “But, Miss Pollexfen, If I may ven ture"—Oxwlch began. "Oxwlch!" his master thundered. "Good-bye," said Philip. "Miss Pol lexfen, I’m obliged to you. Good-bye.” He passed out of the saloon uid up the companion, and the others followed In silence. It was a singular scene, peculiarly illustrative of the English character. The moment the saloon waa empty. Coco came Into the smoking room. Five minutes later those on the deck of the "Wanderer" followed with their eyea a moving train of phosphorescence as It receded mysteriously over the water to the dying flash of oars. The captain and crew had slept through the episode the righteous sleep of honest tars In port. The next morning at 8 o'clock the "Wanderer" was coaling, and Captain Chetwode In a bad temper, as captains Invariably are during such operations. It was observed that the "White Rose" also was coaling, and since she could be satisfied with less coal than the "Wanderer" she had finished first, and she was off westward. "Sir Anthony, his nerves afflicted by the experience of the night, requested Captain Chetwode to keep her in sight much as he might have told the driver of one cab In Piccadilly to follow an other cab In Piccadilly. And Captain Chetwode, ever on tho watch for an Instant, resented the Instructions. What he resented more than tho Instructions was tho air of mystery that surrounded Sir Anthony, Mary and Oxwlch. In spite of his admirable pretence of hav ing no curiosity, he hated tft be kept out of a secret. The boy and the boy’s mother had not yet awakened. Just before weighing anchor a re markable discovery was made. Had It been In the manner In which It was meant to have been made, the result would have been serious. Happily ma rine engineers have a "flair" In regard to their machinery which amounts to the magic of second-sight. Some mys terious impulse prompted Auchengray to send a boat around to Inspect the screw. Why should he have done so? There was no reason save that he was a marine engineer and Auchengray. It then became apparent that some un known had wound a one-inch chain cable round the rudder post and round two blades of the propeller. The trick had been accomplished with malignant Ingenuity, In such manner that one revolution of the engine would certain ly have smashed or fatally twisted the blades of the propeller. But for Au- chengray's "flair" the yacht might have been laid up In Bridgetown for a week or a month. As It was, the delay did not exceed an hour. (Continued In Tomorrow's Georgian.) WIFE OF ENGLISH MAJOR SEEKS DIVORCE TO WED RICH HARRIMAN Mm. Charles Hall, one of the moat beautiful matrons among the New York 400/ and wife of an English major, Is seeking a divorce that she may marry Herbert M. Harrlman, the youngest son of the late Oliver Harrlman and cousin of Edward H. Harrlman, the railway magnate. SHE FOUGHT IN CIVIL WAR GARBED AS A CA VALR YMAN Akron, Ohio, Sept. 26—A woman who served throughout the civil war In the cavalry has been discovered In Summit county, near here. She Is Mrs. Martha Ltndiey, who kept her Identity secret during' the yar, and since then very few Isivo Lsnrtged that ajie was a. sol dier. Had she not served under a fic titious name she would be entitled to a pension. At the outbreak of the war the woman was a bride of only a few months. Her husband answered Lin coln's first call to arms, and Mrs. Lind- ley, young and robust, decided to enlist also and serve by her husband's side.

Ono of the terrors of putting on a new play In New York Is the Inability to secure facilities for rehearsals with scenery and eontumen, the theaters In the Metropolis being used almost constantly day and night. Ordinarily managors are compelled to produce their plays out of town before coming to New York for the reason.that they are then enabled to se cure the use of a stage for full dress re hearsals. Mr. Fitch demands that compa nies appearing In his plays shall rehcarso with scenery for at least two weeks before production, and that at least six perform “WHEN IN THE COUR8E of human events It becomes necessary” to build a house, a home, a hovel, a hut, a barn, a bungalo, a factory, a tene ment, a shelter, a shack, a shed or any place requiring roofing, consult "“vulcanite It la the logical thing to u*c. for reasons too numerous to mention.
