8 The Mischief Maker E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM BOOK U. CHAPTER IV. A STARTLING DISCLOSURE- Julien wan driving. a few afternoons later, with Madame Christopher. She had picked him up In the'Bois. where he had gone for a solitary walk- In her luxurious automobile they passed i smoothly beyond the confines of the park and out into the country. After her brief summons and the few words of Invitation, they relapsed into a some what curious silence. "My friend.” Madame Christopher re marked at length, glancing thoughtfully towards him. “I find a change in you. You are pale and tired and silent. It ’is your duty to amuse me. but you make no eflfort to do so. Yet you have lost that look of complete dejection. You have. Indeed, the appearance of a man who has accomplished something, who has found a new purpose in life.’ Julien to some extent recovered him >©lf. -Dear Madame Christopher.” he ex 'claimed, “it is true! My manners are i shocking. Yet, in away. I have an ex cuse. I have been hard at work for the I last few days. I was writing all night until quite late thia morning. It was because I could not sleep that I ' ram* out to sit under the trees —where I you found me. in fact." "Writing." she repeated. "So you I mw changing your weapons, are you? Yon are going to make a new bld for power?” Julien shook his head "It is not that." he answered. "I have no personal ambitions connected with my present work. It was an idea I—a great idea—but It was not my own. Yet the work has been an immense re lllef.” She looked away, relapsing once more Unto silence. He glanced towards her. The weariness of her expression was more than ever evident to-day. the ■ weariness that was not fretful, that ■ Seemed, indeed, to give an added sweet ness to her face. Yet its pathos was always there- Her eyes, which looked steadily down the road In front of them, were full of the fatigue of unwelcome ‘daya “You men so easily escape." aha murmured. "We women never." Julien was conscious of certain self ishness in all his thoughts connected ‘with his companion. He had been so readv always to accept her society, to accept and profit by the stimulus of her ■intellect. Yet he himself had given so little. had shown so little interest in her or her personal affairs. He sat a • trifle more upright in his place. “Dear. Madame Christopher." he said, darnestly. “you have been so kind to me, you have shown so much interest al ' ways in my dotngs and my troubles. Why not tell me something of your own life? I have felt so much the benefit of your sympathy. Is there nothing in the world I could do for You?” w.' • She sighed. • person in the world,” she de clared. “could help me. certainly not one of your sex. I start with an in stinctive and unchanging hatred towards every one of them.” ‘•But. madam e.” Julien protested, *is that reasonable’" ; “It is the truth." she replied. "I do my best when we are togeother to forget ft so far as you are concerned. I suc ceed because you do not use with me any of the miserable devices of your eex to provide an interest whether they yeally desire it or not. You treat me. Sir Julien, as it pleases me to be treated. It is for that reason. lam sure—lt must be for that reason—that I find some pleas ure in being with you. whereas the so ciety of any other man is a constant Irritation to me.” > Julien hesitated. "You know.” he began, "I am not nat urally a curious person. I have never asked a question of you or about you from the few people with whom I have come in contact over here. At the same time ” ’ “Do you mean." she interrupted, "do you seriously mean that you are ignorant as to who I really am. as to any part of my history?” , "Entirely,” Julien assured her. She was thoughtful for several mo ments. 7 ■ “Well, that is strange." she declared. "You are upsetting one of my pet theo ries. AU the men whom I have ever known have been more curious than wo men. Are you interested in me by any ehance. Sir Julien V’ “Immensely." he replied. "I am glad to hear it. Do you know that is a great concession for me to make, but it is the truth. I like you to be Interested tn me. Yet I must con fess that your ignorance as to who I really am astonishes me. Perhaps." she added gravely, "if you know, you would not be sitting by my side at the present moment." "I cannot believe.” he said, smiting, "that you are such a very terrible per son.” •Terrible? Perhaps that is not the word.” she admitted. "There is <ne thing.” he went on. “con cerning which I have always beer) curi ous.” . . "And that?” The little manicure girl whom I met In the Soho restaurant.” he replied, promptly. “what on earth was her reason for wishing me to come and see you?

Things are changing around us every day. It is pos sible that within a very short time I may find myself in such a position here that I am forced to know exactly who are my friends and who are my ene mies.” "Can you believe,” she asked, “that you would ever find me among the lat ter?” Julien thought for several moments. “I shall not ask you," he proceeded, “not to be offended with me for what I am going to say. It was a chance remark 1 heard—no more. It certainly, however, did suggest some association. There is a man who comes often to Paris, who calls himself a maker <-f toys. He says that he comes from Leipsic and that his name Is Herr Freu denberg.” She sat as still as a statue. Not a line of her features was changed. Ju lien turned a little In his seat. As he watched, he saw that her bosom under neath the lace scarf which she wore was rising and falling quickly. Her teeth came suddenly together. Ho saw the lids droop over her eyes as though she were in pain. “Herr Freudenberg,” she repeated, “what of him?” "I knew him in the days when I counted for something In the world, Julien explained. “Don’t you remem ber that on the night when we'dined to gether at the Maison Leon tl’Or he sent one of his emissaries for me? He was a' man in whom I had always le* the greatest, the most complete inter est. I went to him gladly. Since then, as you will know if you read the pa pers, events have moved rapidly. I am beginning to realise now how com pletely and absolutely that man is the enemy of my country." "It !■ true, that,” she murmured." "For some reason," Julien continued, "he seemed anxious to remove me from Paris. He made me a somewhat singu lar offer. He wanted me to go to soml distant country on a mission—not po litical and yet for Germany.” "And do you goT’ -No," he replied. "I have found other work. I don’t think that I seriously considered It at any time, yet I have always been curious as to why he should have made such an offer to me.” She had the air now of a woman who had completely recovered control of herself. "Sir Julien,” she asked, “I beg of you to tell me this. If you do not know who I am, why have you men tioned Herr Freudenberg’s name to me?" • • “Madame," Julien answered, “because the man who brought me the message from Herr Freudenberg, the man wh» conducted me to him, the man concern ing whom you told me that strange, pa thetic little story—he let fall one word. I asked him no question. I wished for no information except from you. Yet I am only human. I have had impulses of curiosity.” t “Herr Freudenberg la my husband, Madame Chrlstophor declared. Julien looked at her in amazement. For the moment he was speechless. "I sav what is perhaps literally but not actually true.” she went on. ‘Tie was my husband. We are separated. We are not divorced because we were married as Roman Catholics. We are separated. There will never be any thing else between us." Julien remained silent. It was so hard to say anything. The womans tone told him that around her speech hovered a tragedy. "Now you know that Herr Freuden berg is my husband,” she asked, "are you not a little afraid to be sitting here by my aide?" "Why should I be?' "Don’t you know.” she continued, "that he is your enemy?” Julien looked grave. "No, I have scarcely realised that, he answered. "I think, perhaps, when he reads yesterday’s papers he may be feeling like that. At present, so far as he knows, what have I done?” "You.” she said, "were the only man who ever stood up to him, who ever dealt a blow at his political supremacy. At the conference of Berlin you tri umphed. German papers politely, and in a very veiled manner, reminded him of his defeat- It was not a great mat ter. it is true, but none the less the conference of Berlin was the first diplo matic failure In which he had ever been concerned, and you were responsible for it.” ’■You think, then.” Julien remarked, “that he still harbors a grudge against me fipr that?" ••Without a doubt. Now tell me what you mean when you speak of yester day's papers?*’ • \ "I am writing a series of articles. Julien told her. "They commenced yes terday. They will appear in a French paper—Le Grand Journal—and in the English Post. They are written with the sole idea of attacking Herr Freu denberg.’ When he reads the first, he will understand—he will be my enemy.” She held out her hand. ‘Then say good-by to me now, my friend.” she murmured, ‘Tor you will die.” Julien laughed scornfully. ”We do not live in those days,” he THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1912. reminded her. "We fight with the pen. with diplomacy, with all the weapons of statecraft and intrigue, if you will. But this is not now the Paris of Dumas. One floes not assassinate.” "My friend," she said, earnestly, "you don't know Herr Freudenberg. If, in deed, you have become during these last few days his enemy, by this time next week you will surely have passed into some other 'sphere of activity. There are no methods too primitive for him, no methods too subtle or too cruel. He can be the most charming, the most winning, the most generous, the most romantic person who ever breathed; or he can be a Nero, a cruel and brutal butcher, a murderer either of reputa tions or bodies—he cares little which." "Presently,” Julien declared, "I shall begin to feel uncomfortable." » “Oh! you have courage, of course," she admitted, with a scornful little shrug of the shoulders. "No one has ever denied that -to your face. But you have also the unconquerable stupidity which makes heroes and victims of your soldiers.” Julien smiled. "Well, I am at least warned, and foi. that I thank you. Now let me ask you another question. You have told me this very strange thing about yourself and Herr Freudenberg. You have told me of your feelings concerning him. Yet you have not really told me exactly on what terms you are with him at present? For give me if I find this Important." “I do not receive him,” she replied. "I have no interest in his comings or his goings. I have a solemn promise, a promise to which he has subscribed upon his honor, that he shall not seek to cross the threshold of my house. He sent me an ambassador once, quite lately, to make me a certain proposition connected with you.” “With me?” Julien repeated. She nodded. “Hie has great faith in my powers,” she went on, looking him full In the face, “also, apparently, some belief in your susceptibility. Is that unkind of me? Never mind, it is the truth. He imagined, perhaps, that I might help him to rid Paris of your presence. There was just one thing he could offer me which I desired. He came to offer it.” "You refused?” Julien exclaimed. Her eyes rested upon his. Her expres sion was faintly provocative. "How could I accept an offer?” she not belong to me? You have shown no signs at present. Sir Julien, of becoming my abject slave." The car rushed through a straggling asked, "to deal with a thing which did village. All the time she was watch ing him. Then she threw herself back among the cushions with a little laugh. “A week or so ago,” she murmured, "I had a fancy that 'if I had tried—well, that perhaps you were not so different from other men. I should have loathed my conquest, I should probably have loathed you, but I think that I should have expected it. At the present mo ment," she went on, glancing into a lit tle gold mirror which she had picked up from a heap of trifles lying on the table before her, "at the present mo men I am disillusioned. My vanity Is wounded though my relief is great. Nev ertheless, Sir Julien, tell me what has happened to you during the last few days? " “Work," Julien replied, "the sort of work I was craving for.” "Not only that,” she Insisted, setting down the mirror with a sigh. "There is something else.” "If there is," Julien assured her, "I am not# yet conscious of itJ’ They had emerged from The country lane along which they had been traveling and were • returning now to Paris along the broad highroad. They were going at a fair speed when suddenly a huge racing car came flashing by them, cov ered with dust, and with all the indi cations of having come a great distance. Madame Christopher leaned forward in her seat and clutched her companion’s arm. Her eyes were fixed upon the fig ure of the man leeaning back by the side of the driver. “Von see?" she muttered. t'Herr Freudenberg!” Julien gasped She nodded. Already the car had vanished in a cloud of dust. "He is just from Germany or from the frontier. He very seldom comes all the way by rail. The car is always waiting.” "I shall see him, then, tonight,” Ju lien declared. "Already without a doubt, he knows. Already he Is my en emy. What about you, Madame Chris topher?” “My friend," she promised, "you will have nothing to fear from me. So long as I can forget your sex, I rather like you.” "Are you going to answer my ques tion about the little girl who sent me to you?” he asked. "I will tell you, if you like,” she said. "Mademoiselle Senn was once in my service. She occasionally executes commissions for me In London. She knows everybody. It was in obedience to my wishes that she gave you that message.” “But why?" Julien demanded. "What interest had you in me?” "None,” she answered a little coldly —"no personal interest. I sent thai message because I discovered that the Individual who has just passed us In the automobile was framing certain SAPELO ISLAND. OLD HAUNT OF BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE. IS SOLD FOR WINTER HOME H. E, Coffin, of Detroit, Mich., Buys Land Around Which Hang Legends, of Buried Treasure (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) SAVANNAH, Ga., June 15.—Saplo Is land, containing over twenty-five hun dred acres of high lands and marshes, and one of the most historic and beauti ful Islands on the South Atlantic coast, has been purchased by H. E. Coffin, of Detroit, Mich., for a winter home and game preserve, at a cost of more than two hundred thousand dollars. Through thie purchase the Island comes again under one ownership for the first time in one hundred and fifty years. It was once considered the finest plantation in the south. It is the very home of sea island cotton. Mr. Coffin came personally to Savannah to close the deal by which he acquires a veritable paradise. Negotiations have been under way for the past several months. The new owner will not inter fere with the rustic beauties of the place, but will, with the aid of landscape artists put finishing toucches around beautiful plantation home, now located on its sonth end, where he can elaborately entertatin his western friends. Mr. Coffin Is vice president and consulting engineer of the Hudson Motor Car Company, of Detroit, past president of the American Society of Automobile Engineers, and one of the best known men in the motor car indus try. BIG GAME PRESERVE. Mr. Coffin states that it is his inten tion to make the pretty island his winter home. It is his purpose to gradually develop the great natural resources for which the sea islands are famous. He will set aside the north end of the tract, comprising about ten thousand acree, for a game preserve. Until the present the tract has been owned in five large sec tions, and as many smaller sections. Each of the owners have now deeded title in fee simple, thus reuniting the fragments of the once splendid estate that was originally owned by the cele brated Marquis de Montelet. The is land has a complete system of drainage canals, both main and lateral, laid out in accordance with the best engineering practice, and cut at tremendous expen diture of slave labor, it has an eleva tion at places of forty feet above sea level. Sapelo lies five miles off the mainland of Mclntosh county, and about forty miles south of Savannah. It is adjac ent to the government reservation of Blackbeard Island, and it was in the waters of this island that the famous pirate harbored his ships at times. Stories of burled treasure have brought many searching parties to the Island, and the frequent findings of old Spanisfh coins ever and anon revise anew the legends of the old sea rover. Both Sapelo and Blackbeard islands are heavily wooded, and small game and deer are plentiful. The adjacent waters are alive with fish and fowl in season, and the salt waters and creeks abound in oysters. OLD INDIAN RUINS. The Smithsonian institute has spent considerable time '< Investigating the ruins of the old Indian fort on Sapelo, and has opened numerous Indian mounds schemes In connection with you if yod should come to Paris. Politically as well as personally he and I are ene mies. He hates America and the whole Anglo-Saxon race. It has amused me more than once to thwart his schemes. I Intended to set you upon your guard. You see it is very simple. Mademoi selle Senn wrote me at first that she did not know you and that she feared you were Inaccessible. Then she wired me of an accidental meeting and that she had delivered my message. The whole affair Is simpler than it seemed, is it not so? . . . Now listen. I have satisfied your curiosity. You now shall answer a question. Who is Miss Clonarty?” Julien gazed at her in astonishment. “Miss Clonarty?’ he repeated. Madame Chrlstophor nodded. "The name seems to surprise you. A young English woman called on me to day in answer to my advertisement for a secretary who could write and speak English. She said that her name was Miss Anne Clonarty and she referred me to you." “If she is the lady whom I suppose she is,” Julien replied, “you will be perfectly safe in engaging her,” Madame Chrlstophor looked at him from underneath the lids of her eyes. "Do you think that I do not know?” she asked, with a shade of contempt In her tone—"that I do not sometimes read the papers? Do you think that I have not seen that Lady Anne Clonarty, the girl whom you were engaged to marry, disappeared from her home the other day, on the eve of her marriage to another man? It is this girl who comes to me for my situation, is It not so?” Julien was silent. "I knew nothing, of her coming. I did not even know that you wanted a secretary.” .., "I wonder why she came to Paris,” Madame Christopher remarked. "Is she in love with you?” “There was never any question of anything of the sort,” Julien declared fervently. “You have seen ner since she arrived in Paris?” “Entirely by accident. I saw her alight from the train. I was at the Gare du Nord to meet Kendricks.” Madame Christopher leaned back in her seat. "Is it your wish that I engage her?” "Certainly,” Julien replied. "I am sure that you will find her competent. At the same time, I don’t know how long she will keep this thing up.” "As a rule I do not care for hand some women around me,” Madame Christopher said composedly. “Lady Anne is much too good-looking to please me. She has all the freshness and vitality," she added, dropping her voice a little, “which seem to have left me forever." “You have experience,” Julien re minded her. “Experience in Itself is wonderful, even though one has to pay for it.” They were in the streets of Paris now. Madame Christopher shrugged her shoulders and sat up. "It is one of the misfortunes of my sex," she said, a little bitterly, “that without experience we lack charm —In the eyes of you men, that is to say. It is your own folly. . . • Are you coming home with me, my friend, or shall I set you down somewhere?” "As near the Gare du Nord as possi ble, if you please,” Julien begged. "I have wearied you enough for one after noon.” Madame Christopher looked at him thoughtfully. There was a alight frown upon her forehead. "Somwhere near the Gare du Nord!” she repeated. from which have been taken articles and hieroglyphics telling much of the life of the prehistoric people who held the Island before the coming of the In dians. y In 1783 the Creek Indians by treaty with General Oglethorpe ceded lands and Islands to the English, but reserved to themselves the island of Sapelo. In 1760 King George the Third acquired t the Island by purchase from the Rev. r Thomas Bosomworth, a missionary, who had come Into possession of the land e through his wife, Mary, a woman of the 5 Creek Indian tribe. The consideration s paid by the king for this and other islands was over $105,000. Afterwards t there arose a dispute as to the validity c of the sale, and from 1760 to 1775 the v Creek Indians fought in the court of 1 high chancery in England for the re- g covery of Sapelo island. v The Revolutionary war in 1775 put an t end to the litigation and brought about r a partition of the island by grants of j the land by the state of Georgia to set tiers from 1780 to 1790. About this q time the Marquis de Fontelet, a French refugee from the San Domingan revo- c lutlon, acquired the entire island by pur- d chase from the sdttlers, and with his slaves and followers established a { French colony on the north end of the r island. c The Tabby walls of the ruined build- t Ings may yet be seen, although giant g pines and oaks now stand where once t were flowers and gardens. Many of the ( French colony are buried on the Island, and the grave of the marquis, himself, c lies just at the edge of a promontory £ upon which stood his mansion house. r In 1808, because of the relations of £ close friendship existing, the marquis sold the south half of the Island to Thomas Spalding, who built a beautiful t |)ouse of French renaissance type, with f the Interior finished by Italians import ed for the purpose. During the war the f house was badly damaged by gunboats which lay in Doboy sound, but repairs have been made, and the old walls stand " just as they did more than a century ago. An oak grove of more than 100 acres surrounds the house. JONES BADLY BURNED; I AUTO CATCHES FIRE • (Special Dispatch to The Journal.!

MANY NEW INDUSTRIES INCREASE TIFTON’S TRADEI Chamber of Commerce Is Ac tively Engaged in Plans for Development and Upbuilding of Section (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) TIFTON, Ga., June 15.—The plans of the Tifton Chamber of Commerce have resulted in many improvements. As an evidence is the bond election for a $60,000 court house, with only 91 dis senting votes in the entire county. Less than two weeks after the elec tion the contract for a $30,000 cotton compress had been signed, and this week the ground is being laid out pre liminary to the construction of the great stdrage platform 200 by 600 feet, with sidetracks on each side, to facili tate the switching of the three Tifton railroads—the Georgia Southern and Florida, the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic and the Atlantic Coast Line. The press, with its great 90-lnch cylin der, will arrive before the platform is completed and will be installed ImiAe dlately after. Within a few days after the com press contract was signed the dormant movement of a year ago to add another cotton gin to Tifton’s enterprises was taken up and soon $6,000 was raised, and in another week a contract for the gin was signed, and the gin will be in operation by August 15 J. J. Golden, of the Golden Hardware company, and Secretary H. B. Layton, of the chamber of commerce, began re newed plans for raising money for a cotton oil mill. While correspondence was opened with a strong oil company, and the names of prospective contribu tors to the stock, Judge Eve, of the city court, was Interested, and he be gan the work of canvassing the busi ness men and farmers. In a week's time he had a total of $16,000 sub scribed without being nearly at the end of his list. Meanwhile, a proposition was received from the cotton oil com pany to join the local people and add to the capital an amount equal to that raised in Tift county. With $4,000 more subscribed here, a company with a capital of $40,000 is assured, and the amount can be increased to $50,000 without trouble. PLAN CORN ELEVATOR.
