THE GEORGIAN’S MAGAZINE, PAGE “Initials Only” By Anna Katherine Green A Thrilling Mystery Story of Modern Times (Copyright, 1911, Street & Smith.) (Copyright, 1911, by Dodd, Mead & Co.) TODAY’S INSTALLMENT. Sweetwater, who had been so violently •wheeled about in entering that he stood ■with his back to the curtain concealing the ear, answered without hesitation: "You have a device, entirely new so far as T judge, by which this car can leap at once' into space, hold its own in any direction, and alight again upon any given spot without shock to the machine or danger to the people controlling it." “Explain the device.” "I will draw it." "You can?” “As it see it." "As you see it!" “Yes. It’s a brilliant idea. I could never have conceived it." “You believe—” “I know.” “Sit here. Let's see what you know." Sweetwater sat down at the table the other pointed put, and. drawing forward a piece of paper, took up a pencil with an easy air. Brotherson approached and stood at his shoulder. He had taken up Ids pistol again, why he hardly knew, and as Sweetwater began his marks, his fin gers tightened on its butt till they turned white in the murky lamplight. "You see," came in easy tones from the stooping draughtsman, “I have an im agination which only needs a slight fillip from a mind like yours to send it in the desired direction. I shall not draw an exact reproduction of your idea, but I think yon will see that 1 understand it very well. How's that for a start?" Brotherson looked and hastily drew back. He did not want the other to note his surprise.' "But that is a portion you never saw,” he loudly declared. “No, but I saw this," returned Sweet water, working busily on some curves; “and these gave me the fillip 1 mentioned. The rest came easily." '• Brotherson. in dread of his own anger, threw his pistol to the other end of the shed: "You knave! You thief!" he furiously cried "How so?" asked Sweetwater smilingly, rising and looking him calmly in the face. “A thief is one who appropriates an pther man's goods, or, let us say, another man's ideas. I have appropriated nothing —yet. I’ve only shown you how easily 1 could do so. Mr. Brotherson, take me in as your assistant. I will be faithful to you. I swear it. I want to see that machine go up."

"For nobody; not for myself even. This is the first time they have left their hid ing place in my brain." "Can you swear to that?” "I can. and will, if you require it. But you ought to believe my word, sir. lam square as a die in ail matters not con nected well, not connected with my pro fession." he smiled, in a burst of that whimsical humor which not even the se riousness of the moment could quite sup press. "And what surety have I that you do not consider this very matter of mine as coming within the bounds you speak of?” “None. But you must trust me that far.” Brotherson surveyed him with an irony which conveyed a very different message to the detective than any he had intended. Then quickly: "To how many have you spoken, dilat ing upon this device, and publishing abroad my secret?" ‘I have spoken to no one. not even to Mr. Gryce. That shows my honesty as nothing else can." "You have kept my secret intact?" "Entirely so. sir.” "So that no one, here or elsewhere, shares our knowledge of the new points in this mechanism?” “I say so, sir.” "Then if I should kill you," cgme in fe rocious accents, "now —here—" “You would be the only one to own that knowledge. But you won't kill me." “Why?" “Need I go into reasons?" "•Why, I say?” "Because your conscience is already too heavily laden to bear the burden of an other unprovoked crime." Brotherson, starting back, glared with open ferocity upon the man who dared to face him with shell an accusation. "God! Why didn't 1 shoot you on en trance."' he cried. "Your courage is cer tainly colossal." A fine smile, without even the hint of humor now. touched the daring de tective's lip. Brotherson's anger seemed to grow under It. and he loudly repeated: "It's more than colossal; it’s abnormal and”—a moment's pause, tnen with an ironic emphasis— "and quite unnecessary, save as a matter of display, unless you think you need it to sustain you through the ordeal you are courting. You wish to help me finish and prepare for flight?” “I sincerely do." “You consider yourself competent?” “I do." Brotherson's eyes fell and he walked once to the extremity of the oval flooring and back. "Well, well grant that. But that's not all that is necessary. My require ments demand a companion in my first flight. Will you go up in the car with me on Saturday night ?” A quick affirmative was on Sweetwa ter's lips but the glimpse which he got of I the speaker’s face glowering upon him from the shadows into which Brotherson had withdrawn stopped its utterance, and the silence grew heavy. Though it may not have lasted long by the clock, the in stant of breathless contemplation of each other’s features across the intervening space was of incalculable moment to Sweetwater, and possibly to Brotherson. As drowning men are said to live over their whole history between their first plunge and final rise to light and air, so, through the mind of the detective, rushed the memories of his past and the fast fading glories of his future; and rebeling at the subtle peril he saw in that sar donic eye. he vociferated an impulsive: "No! I’ll not—" and paused, caught by a new and irresistible sensation. A breath of wind—the first he had felt j that night—had swept in through some ! crevice in the curving wall, flapping the ; canvas enveloping the great car. It acted ! like a peal to battle. After all. a man ■ must take some risks in his life, and his I heart was in this trial of a redoubtable ! mechanism in which he had full faith. He I could not say noito the prospect of being i the first to share a triumph which would I send his name to the ends of the earth; | and, changing the trend of his sentence, J he repeated with a calmness which had ! the force of a great decision: "I will not fail you in anything. If ; she rises—” here his trembling hand fell lon the curtain shutting off his view of I the ship, "she shall take me with her, i so that when she descends I may be the first to congratulate the proud inventor I of such a marvel.” "So be it!" shot from the other's lips, i his eyes losing their threatening look. 1 and his whole countenance suddenly aglow with the enthusiasm of awakened genius. Coming from the shadows, he laid his hand on the cord regulating the rise and fall of the concealing curtain. "Here she is!" he cried, and drew the sord. The canvas shook, gathered itself into great folds and disappeared in the shad ows from which he had just stepped. The air car stood revealed—a star tling. because wholly unique, vision. Long did Sweetwater survey it, then turning with a beaming face upon the watchful inventor, he uttered a loud "Hur rah!" Next moment, with everything foagot ten between them save the glories of this invention, both dropped simultaneously to the floor and began that minute exam ination of the mechanism necessary to their mutual work. , His Great Hour. Saturday night at 8 o'clock. So the fiat had gone forth, with no con cession to be made on account of weather. As Oswald came from his supper and took a look at the heavens from the small front porch, he was deeply troubled that Orlando had remained so obstinate on this point. For there were ominous clouds rolling up from the east, and the storms in this region of high mountains and abrupt valleys were not light, nor without danger even to those with feet well planted upon mother earth. If the tempest should come up before 8! Mr. Challoner, who, from some myste rious impulse of bravado on the part of Brotherson. was to be allowed to make the third in this small band of specta tors. was equally concerned at this sight, but not for Brotherson. His fears were for Oswald, whose slowly gathering strength could illy bear the strain which this additional anxiety for his brother’s life might Impose upon him. As for Dor is, she was In a state of excitement more connected with the past than with the future. That afternoon she had laid her hand in that of Orlando Brotherson, and wished him well. She! in whose breast still lingered reminiscence* of those old doubts which had beclouded his image for her at their first meeting She had not been able to avoid It. His look was a compelling one. and it had demanded tints much from her; and—a terrible thought to her gentle spirit he might be going to his death To Be Continued in Next Issue. * * An Early Autumn Fashion * * Wk I - * MO| \ V.

Beyond Rule or Reason By Beatrice Fairfax "Love comes to some with smiling eyes, And comes with tears to some; For some Love sings, for some Love sighs. For some Love’s lips are dumb." —Pakenham Beatty. WHO is wise enough to give rule or reason whereby the writer of this letter may tell if her lover really loves her? "I am a young gin of nineteen, and in love with a man t-even years my senior. Now. this gentleman has told me he loves me and no one else, as he lias had only one girl before he met me and she is dead. My conscience, how ever, will not allow me to believe what he says is true, as He sees me only a few hours on Saturday afternoons, and tells me that the rest, of his time is oc cupied. How can I find out the truth, whether he means whai he says in tell ing me he loves ifie. as he distinctly •ells me so?” Facts and figures may be relied on in every other problem, but love is beyond the most precise calculations of the most skilled mathematician. This man sees ills beloved only once a week. At such a time he explains he can not see her oftener. But he devotes the tint..• he is with her to telling her he loves her. It takes very little for love to feed on. In the days they are apart his love lives on memory of the last meeting, and lives again in anticipation of the next. He loved before. The girl died. He has been honest enough to tell his second love al] about it. There are men who would deny they ever loved before. There are others, who. lacking respect for a romance that is ended, would speak slightingly of it. "I was younger then." such a man says. "I did not know my own mind.” Os such a man, beware; but the man who comes honestly with the story of a past romance on his lips, who confesses that the girl to whom he comes Is the second girl loved, merits respect. At least, he does not deserve the HE TURNED AGAIN. Naturally, they were married, for she ordered him about in a most im perious way. The longest lane has its turning, however, and one day, after a particularly violent outbreak on the part of tile lady, the husband attempt ed to reduce the woman’s rights in his own household. "Do you tldnk you rule the uni verse?" he inquired sarcastically, when the moment came for him to edge in a word. "No," came dje prompt reply. “I do not. But I rule the first letter of it!” And once again the mere man real ized that he was indeed the under dog. a. "Speaker” writes: "I am troubled with a tickling sensation after speaking, which is accompanied with a slight cough and hoarseness. Can 1 get relief?"

That he sees her only once a week does not in the least weaken his love. That strange sentiment has away of growing when fed on absence. Often, the skeptics say, it attains a more rapid growth than when one is constantly with the object of one's affections. If business keeps him from her, it is to his credit that he finds his interests there. If she suspects it Is some other woman, then that suspicion is founded solely on jealousy, and can not be taken into serious consideration. There is no way to find if he really loves her. That she doubts him, gives him reason for suspecting that she cares nothing for him. There is no scale, no measuring cup or string, no geometrical rule, for find ing out just the sentiment she has in spired. Why not have a little faith and be lieve him? If she finds she can’t have that, it is better never to see him again. Little doubts, during a courtship, have away of growing into tormenting ones after marriage.
