Concord, N. H., Aug. 2.—Members
and trlends of (he Christian Science
church here are Industriously spread
ing the report that the "next friends"
are ready to‘abandon the suit to oblalr
an accounting of Mrs. Eddy’s property
If they can find way of escape.
The rumor Is given color by the un
announced visit paid the office of the
attorneys for the defenfe by ex-Sena-
tor Chandler, senior counsel for the
plaintiff. Chandler, however, explained
his visit was for arranging the taking
of depositions regarding Mrs. Eddy's
competency.
THREE IN RACE
FOR EASON’S PLACE
As the result of a petition signed by
a large number of the citizens of De-
Kalb county and members of the leg
islature, Captain R. H. Milledge, of
Decatur, has determined to enter the
race for prison commissioner, to suc
ceed Commissioner Tom Eason, who
will not be a candidate.
This brings three announced candi
dates Into the field, with the entries
far from being closed. Chief of Police
Wiley Williams, of Columbus, was the
first to announce. He was at the capl-
tol Thursday and said he would win
the race easily.
Representative Davidson, of Greene,
is also a candidate. It Is hardly prob
able that Senator Brock will enter the
race, but many believe that Senator
Hawes will do so.
Unless the legislature allows the
military department of the state $42»-
211.06, additional to the regular ap
propriation of $25,000 per annum for
maintenance. In order to conform to
the Dick law by January 21, 1908, Geor
gia will lose the $51,000 allowed by the
national government.
At a meeting of the house appropria
tions committee Wednesday afternoon,
Adjutant General A. J. Scott appeared
and clearly set forth the needs of his
department.
He asked for the regular mainte
nance fund of $25,000 for the years
1907 and 1908, $5,000 for expense In
cident to the Atlanta and Macon riots,
and $42,211.06 for the equipment fund
This is $6,000 less than allowed for this
special purpose last year. The total
amount asked for for the two years of
1907 and 1908 Is $97,211.06.
No action was taken on the matter
by the committee Wednesday, but an
other meeting will' be held Thursday
afternoon. Unless the $42,211 Is al
lowed It means that the national guard
of Georgia will be no longer a part of
the national guard of the United States.
“The preservation of the national
guard of Georgia absolutely depends
on the granting of this special appro
priation," said General Scott. “We
will lose the $51,000 allowed by the
government to aid In the equipment,
and also our place In the national
organization. I hope and believe we
will secure what we ask for."

Stow these In your pockets,” he
commanded Reginald sharply, handing
him the food,and wine.
He slipped out of the room again and
Into hla own bedroom, where he caught
up a couple of blankets and a pillow,
coming out again Into the sitting
room.
"What does all this mean, Frank?”
gasped Reginald.
"Will you please keep quiet?" ordered
Frank curtly. “There is no time to
lose,”
On one side of the room In which
they stood was an Immense painting,
covering almost the entire wall. It
wasnn heirloom and the pride of
Frank's heart. The city boasted few
pointings of greater value than this,
and It was worth many thousands of
dollars.
Frank stepped to the side of the
painting and fumbled with Its frame,
while Reginald gazed In aatonluhn'V't.
The next Instant the painting turned
on Its frame and revealed an open dark
space behind It.
Frank motioned for Reginald to
crawl Int? this hole.
"Take the blankets and pillow, Reg,
spread yourself a bed and go to sleep.
You will need all your strength for
what Is before you, and It Is absolute
ly necessary that you get some sleep.
You will be os safe here, In fact safer,
than anywhere else In the world for
the present.
"Husband your food supplies, though
take only what you absolutely need,
for you may have to stay In there for
some time.
Every home of the Bracebrldgea fifr
generations has had a refuge like this,”
he explained to Reginald. "A legend
of the family says that every Brace-
bridge of the clenched hand will need
It some time. I meant you should know
about It, Reginald, when you were thir
ty and came Intot your Inheritance.
Your father did not wish that you
should know It before. It la useless to
tell you why now."
The doorbell pealed again more loud
ly. Evidently the officers were growing
Impatient.
“Keep up your courage. Reginald/*
said Frank, kindly, "Don’t scream or
call out, no matter what you hear or
how long you have to etay in there.
Don't be frightened, either. If you
should hcv some one crawling Into
that closet from behind you. It will
only be I. But do not attempt to get
out by yourself.”
Frank closed the painting agalnet
the wall. For the moment Reginald
was safe from observation.
Katie,” he said solemnly, turning to
the wide-eyed, trembling maid, who
had witnessed Reginald's Incarceration
In dumb wonder, "do you know what
an oath Is?"
Oh, yea," she stammered. 'T’ve
heard my father say them often."
"I don't mean that kind of an oath,
Katie,” said Frnnk, the susplchm of a
smile crossing hirv face. "I me»n an
oath such as Is token In court where
you sweat” to tell the truth.”

"Never mind that now, but listen, for
I must let those o(fleers In In a min
ute."
Katie's face blanched With fear when
the officer* were mentioned, but Frank’s
calm tones setmed to give her courage
and she listened closely.
"I want you to take an oath that
you will never tell anybody what you
lave seen and heard In this room to
day. This secret passage of the Brace-
bridges Is a secret of the family. No
one else Is supposed to know of It. Now,

alacrity.
"Now say this after me: ‘I swear
before God that I will never tell any
body what I saw or heard In this room
today unless Frank Bracebrldge tells
me to do so.’ ”
Katie repeated the words, adding a
fervent "Amen" at the end.
"Now, Katie, sit down In that chair
over there and keep perfectly qnlet.
When the officers come In here. If they
question you say that you came to me
with the messngo that Sir. Reginald's
wife was dead. If they ask you where
Mr. Reginald Is, say you do not know,
and that you have not seen him since
he left his wife’s body a few moments
after she died. Can you stick to that
story?”
"I'll do my best, sir,” said Katie.
"That's right," smiled Frank, and
hastened downstairs to admit the two
detectives, who were evidently making
preparations to break the door down.
CHAPTER XIV.
Wanted for Murder.
Frank greeted the two men calmly.
"Good evening, Bltttnger. How are
you, Loftus? What's in the air?
"We're sorry to trouble you, Mr.
Bracebrldge," said Detective Rlttlnger,
"but you probably Jnnw as well os we

murder of his wife,"

the murder of his wife! Nonsense!
The boy was devoted to her."
"I am sorry, Mr. Bracebrldge," said
Blttlnger, firmly. "I may have my
opinion as to whether you know about
It or not, but the fact remains that hla
wife Is dead and the physician who at
tended her has refused to sign a death
certificate, affirming that she died of
poison, which he believes was admlnla

"Impossible,” said Frank, angrily.
"Who la this physician? "Where Is h«?
Let me see him and I'll anon prove how
ridiculous his charges are.”
"Dr. Schmidt Is going back to Cleve
land, I understand," replied Detective
Loftus. "He was located here only
temporarily. He has made his state
ment to the coroner, however, and has
offered to return whenever his testi
mony Is needed.”
“How did he have n right to practice

'And you generally do what you are
told, Blttlnger," returned Frank. "I'll
give you credit for that.”
Rlttlnger .mlled hi. thanks for the
compliment.
"Wo try to do our duty,” he replied,
although I am particularly sorry that
It brings me here on this errand, be
cause you have been a good friend of
mine, Mr. Bracebrldge. But the tout!)
Is, Loftus and Kane have been warch-
Ing the house for two or three hoars,
Loftus In the front and Kane at the
rear. Kane Is still at Ills post.”
Loftus saw a young fellow answering
your cousin', description come In here
about un hour ago. Neither Loftus nor
Kane have eeen him go away. They
waited for me to cotne with a warrant
before coming In.”
"Very well,” said Frank coolly, “I
know what that means. I suppose you
will not, take my word for it when I
aay that he Isn’t here?"
"Personally, I would, Mr. Brace
brldge," said Blttlnger, "but business Is
business, you know. 1 have got to

"As you please," returned Frank.
"Go anywhere you want to.”
Detectives Blttlnger nnd Loftus were
recognized as the most thorough ofll-
In the New York police depart
ment. When they searched a houz*
there was no hook or cranny In It left
unnoticed. Through all the lower floor
they went, Frnnk accompanying them.
Through tho servants’ quarters they
made their'way, where the butler and
the maids took their coming os though
they were accustomed to having police
invasions every day.
Down Into the basement, through the
laundry, the wine cellars and fruit
cellar* tho officers went, followed
everywhere by the master of the house.
“There Is no one here." commented
Blttlnger briefly. "Now for the cham
ber*."
Front led the way up*talr», the de
tectives following closely at hi. heel..
They went Into every bed room on the
second and third stories, Frank pur
posely leaving his own library till the
last.
Finally, having met with no more
success In their search of the upper
floors than they had had below, they
came Into the room where Katie aat,
wild-eyed and trembling.
Loftus strode across the room to hor.
"What Is your name, young lady?"
he asked kindly, with the confidential
manner thnt had enabled him to draw
many secrets from criminals.
"Katie Mahoney, Jt you please, sir,”
answered the girl"
"You have Just come In from the
outside, haven’t you?” said Loftus.
"Where did you come from?"
"I lust came to Mr. Bracebrldge with
a message telling hint that his cousin's
wife was dead,” replied Katie.
"What did Mr. Reginald say when
you told his cousin his wife was dead?"
The simple girl fell into the trap of
the clever detective readily enough.
"He lust groaned," she answered.
"Oh, he was here, then?” he said
quietly. Then, sternly: "Now, my girl,
tell us where Mr. Reginald went from
this room?”
But Katie had recovered her pres
ence of mind.
"Oh, Mr, Reginald wasn't here, sir,"
she said guilelessly. “I didn't under
stand, I thought you asked me what
Mr. Reginald gald when he learned hla
wife was dead.”
Loftus saw that It was of no use to
question her further lust then. He got
up and made the round of the room
with Blttlngor, scrutinizing every crev
ice and corner. Finally he stopped In
front of the painting.
He looked It over carefully. Then he
beckoned to Blttlnger.
"We’ll have to take this painting
down from the wall,” he said In a law
voice. •
Frank waa standing near Katie and
heard a little gasp as she looked at the
detectives In dismay. He seized her
by the arm almost brutally.
"T will kill you If you scream or
faint," ho whlepered hoarsely.

GREAT MOVEMENTS LED BY NEWSPAPERS-
Always it is the newspaper that blazes the trail which is great. It is the newspaper manager who first senses the unspoken
of the masses of the
want of the masses of the people who succeeds.
There came Joseph Pulitzer and William R. Hearst with new ideas. Revolutionists, of course, but success is the measure
of merit; perhaps a bad measure, yet the only one a newspaper publisher knows, or the world knows. “Yellow” journalism has
won as a business.
There are others. Ervin Wardman of the New York Press, a dyed in the wool Republican organ, saw the coming wave of
radicalism three years ago. He sprang to the top of the wave and today he is the leading Republican editor of the state of New
York.
Now comes The Atlanta Georgian and News. A year ago it was started. F. L. Seely, th6 president of the company, and
John Temple Graves, the editor, saw the coming wave* of prohibition sentiment which today is sweeping over all the Southern
states. They flung out the flag of prohibition for Georgia and grasped the leadership of the movement.
The eyes of millions are turning to them.
