Frank runs home. Ho went over to the table where the electric lamp wan still burning and looked at his watch. It was Just 2 o’clock. Then he lighted the -other lights and threw the window curtains baik, admitting a flood of glorious moonlight. "I am In for It now—and a hideous mess It Is, too;” he said as he dressed as rapidly as possible. "Something must' be done, and at once. To think that 1 have got the body of, some foreigner in the,house who may come tapping here'at the door presently for All I know—and whom I have got to bury In the family vault In any cnao—should he really prove to be dead this time! What am I going to do? "How am I going to get out of the mers without creating a hideous scan- dnl? The Lord only knows; I don't, and I don't know whether he Is renlly dead or not. I must make sure about that, nt all events." Ily this time Prank whs dressed, and, going quietly down the atalrs, he en tered the library and turned on the light. Then he went to the telephone and rang up Dick—within live mlnutea the call wad answered. "Is thnt you, Dick?" "Yes. sir." "Welt; dress as quickly as possible and bring the trap round to the door. I want to pend you Into the village with a very Important message.” "All right, sir." Then ho sat down and wrote a note to the leading local practitioner. “He won't know the difference," Frank said with a grim smile, as he sealed the letter. Before Dick arrived he had recover ed sufficient nerve to re-enter the death chamber and replace the 11(1 In Its prop, er place upon the coffin. Then he un barred the front door quietly and walk ed down the steps as the trap drove up. Surprise was writ very largo upon Dick's face, but he gave no expression to It In words. "I want you to take this note to Dr. Jenkins, Dick, and bring him back with you. Don't spare the mare; it Is Important.” "All right, sir. Sorry I didn't catch that young woman with the red para sol last night. I got on her track, but she did me by five minutes. Left for the north on the 9:45 train." "I nm sorry for that.” Dick showed all his tfletli. "Ain't I Just.” said he as he drove away. Prank closed the door Hoftly nnd rebolted It—then went back to the li brary and had recourse to his pipe. "This thing must be thought out at encc,” he said to himself. "Yes, at once. It Is useless to ask how and why I have got Into this accursed hole, and what I have done to deserve it. I am In It, and that Is all about It. Now, what Is to be done?" A' knock at the door Interrupted his meditations. Come In!" he shouted, nnd as If In answer to a prayer Detective Loftus entered the room. ■The very man!" Frank exclaimed, springing to his feet and wringing thej detective's hand warmly. "I am in a deuce of a flx." “Will It wait till 1 tell you my news?" said Loftus. "1 have found the dia mond necklace.” "What!" Frank gasped. "Yes," said Loftus. "It Is at Law rence’s. the big Jewelry establishment on Fifth avenue.” “How did It get there?" asked-Frank In amazement. "A girl who used to be maid to the baroness took It there yesterday, have been shadowing her, and after I saw her enter the door I went In and asked a few questions. I— "But I will take you to Lawrence’s and there you can hear the rest of the story yourself. "Good heavens, Loftus!" returned Frank. "let me tell you what I have on hand." He then relatea'hts grewsome discov ery of the man alive or dead, he did not know which, who was not Regi nald. Loftua listened, his face grow ing grave. "I'll tell you.” he said.at last, "there, only one thing to be done. If this Dr. Jenkins says the man Is dead, go on with the funeral Just tht same. Then when you can get hold of Reginald's body bury It also In the family vault; first getting depositions from every body who saw the two bodies. It’s a cinch that this Suzanne will confess everything when wt get hold of her. If she has tho diamond necklace she knew about the placing of Reginald's body In a trunk. When you get her confession we shall hnve everything we want for the establishment of Regi nald's Identity.' CHAPTER XCVIII. Tho Funeral. Dr, Jenkins was announced at that moment, and the little party went down to the place where the body lay. Blbl Indeed was dead at last. Dr. Jenkins made a most thorough In- veatlgatlon and declared life to be ex tinct. The funeral services were held and the supposed body of Reginald Bracebridge placed In the family vault.

S3 Peachtree St. 87 Whitehall St. Chicago, Oct. 14.—Driven to despair by his Inability to rouse the stockhold ers ft the Illinois Central railroad to their danger, which he says threatens the property, should Edward H. Harrl- man continue to dominate It, Stuy- vecant Fish Is preparing to make an appeal to tile courts. All of yesterday he remained closeted with his attorneys, P. L. Burmelstcr and II. A. Leeman, preparing a petition asking the courts to enjoin any person or corporation from voting any stock In the coming annual meeting which may be owned or controlled by the Union Paclflc. In anticipation, of this action William Nelson Cromwell, one of the most noted corporation lawyers In the country, Is hastening toward Chicago, where he will arrive today and take chargo of the Harrlman Interests. J. B. Dill, a no less noted corporation attorney than Mr. Cromwell, has been summoned to New York to take charge of the I'Tsh events In the courts here. Unless there Is *ome change In the pro gram It Is likely that court proceedings will be commenced today or tomorrow. It Is understood to be Mr. Fish's pur. pose to lay before the court all mis inanngement which has come with the Harrlman administration. The proceed ing will come ugder an Illinois statute which prevents one corporation from Frank and Detective Loftus went Into the city. Arrived at the famous Lawrence establishment, Frank produced his card and asked to see the senior member of the Arm. Within three minutes' they were seated In hie presence. "This visit Is most apropott Mr. Bracebridge," said he. "Indeed, you And me In the very act of writing to you with the request that you would do me the favor to call here tomorrow." "Oh. Indeed!" Frank added. “You then have heard the news. You knew my cousin, Reginald Bracebrldgo, very well, I believe. An excellent customer of yours, wasn't he?” Trailing Suzanne. The proprietor shrugged hts shoul ders ever so slightly and smiled half apologetically. "Well. I know to what you are al ludlng. Mr. Bracebridge." said he. "But these things are always happening with us. In the present Instance we knew two things at least—that our money was perfectly secure, and that per sonally these transactions will be ar il, quite so, of course. Is It much?" “Well, I am not quite certain as to a hundred or two. It Is a matter of about 120,000, I should say; hut there Is no hurry about that whatever, was not writing to you upon this sub ject at all, but, with relation to jeci ni an, dui , wun relation ti certain suspicious circumstance”— "The visit of the young woman yes terday; That Is exactly what brought me here.' The merchant adjusted his spectacles and stared at Frank hard. “How on earth, sir," he began, when Bracebridge Interrupted him again, and pointed to Detective Loftus. "Detective Loftus saw the young woman, whom he had been shadowing, enter your store yesterday." Frank said. "I want to know her business here, If you will tell me.” "Well,” said he "to cut matters short, she wanted to sell me the most magnificent diamond necklace I have ever seen, and you may Imagine that I have seen some valuable gems In my time." Frank bowed assent. "I had seen the necklace once be fore. Your cousin brought It In and asked to have three of the stones put In It. It was very curious. Three of the gems were missing and their places were taken by huge unsightly pebbles.” Frank vraened arm ''flunttv " Frank grasped Loftus' arm. "Steady,' said that astute Individual. "We ransacked New York and Paris and London, but we could not And any stones to match those In slse. Finally we were obliged to make careful Imi tations, and we returned the stones and necklace to Mr. Reginald with that ex planation." "You saved the case?" Inquired Frank huskily, thinking of the two stones he had carefully hidden In the lining. "Oh. yes," said the proprietor. “Noth- llshment like this. You never know what Is going to be wanted.’" An Appointment, He continued; "So you con Imagine that when this young woman, evidently a maid, came Into the shop with that necklace and offered to sell It for $15,000 our sus picions were aroused. "Her explanations were far from satisfactory; my flrat Impulse was to detain her and send for the police. But. upon reflection* I thought It bet ter to be polite to her nnd say that If she would leave the necklace with me I would examine It, make a careful estimate os to Its value, and pay her the same In gold or notes, as she might prefer, at noon tomorrow. The unflnlshed letter before me was to ac quaint you with these facts and re. uest you to be present If you thought t when the young lady called." ' You have acted most admirably In this matter," Frank returned warmly. "I have reasons for believing that you have done me nn exceedingly great service, and I thank you heartily. Punc tually upon the stroke of noon I shall be here tomorrow.” Frank and Loftus left the Jewelry es. tabllshment In high spirits. •'We will be at the bottom of this thing tomorrow at this time.” eald Lof tus. Frank left the detective after ar ranging to meet him the next day at noon at Lawrence's, and went to his office. He had traced Mueller to hie hiding place; he knew that Suzanne and Muel. ler were In each other's confidence; he expected to have Susanna's confes sion the next day. There were two things missing—Reginald's child and Vera Slavlnsky. He might expect news of the child through Suzanne, perhaps, but the beautiful woman who had so enthralled him, whom he had doubted, around whom there still hung a veil of mys tery, where was she? His office boy entered, curiosity writ ten upon his Inquisitive features. "A lady to see you, sir," he said. Frank took the dainty bit of card board the lad handed,him and turned pale with excitement ae he read this name; ; Madame La Karonne Vera Slavlnsky ; Continued in Tomorrow’s Georgian. Are You Figuring A Life Insurance proposition? While you are, take time to get the best This is your right if you are a healthy risk. The principles that control in other lines apply with equal force in Life Insurance. It is management that counts. Extravagance and extra hazardous risks never produce good div idends in any business. Don’t be confused by mean ingless ratios. Look into the question of manage ment and ask to see the statements of returns made to individual policy-holders. Then ask a Northwestern man for a similar record and you will see how good management reduces net cost. “GET RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET WRITTEN’’ R. J.

The Harrlman lawyers declare that the Illinois Central, by reason of Its special charter, would be exempt from the operation of this law.
