CHAPTER VII.
The "Flaah-and-Blood.”
Sir Anthony Dldrlng’a Panhard .was
waiting a few yard* up the street, but
, ur h was the crowd and auch the ex
citement of the crowd, that It was
Impossible to atart the car at once. The
multitude refused to acknowledge even
the existence of that murderous vehi
cle.
Fifty people stood In Its path, star
ing at the door of the court house and
violently discussing the sensation of
the day. Just as If the- car had been
Invisible. This was the first Indication
of the immense and unique Interest
which the case of the dead.sea captain
was arousing In the moat blase of
capitals.
The chauffeur, not daring to commit
homicide. Sir Anthony Impatiently sup
planted him, and executed a prolonged
orchestral fantasia upon the horn (he
prided himself upon the power of hlrf
horn, which waa calculated to damage
the ear as effectually as his four Du-
celller lamps could damage the eye),
whereupon a little lane was reluctantly
formed, and the Panhard departed
amid the execration of quidnuncs who
detested the ostentatious arrogance of
excessive wealth.
Philip sprang to Sir Anthony's side,
and the chauffeur tumbled Into the
toneau. The ear slid round the corner
at 30 miles an hour.
"Idiots!" ejaculated the baronet be
tween his teeth, with a glance back
ward at the crowd.
"May I ask the reason of this seduc
tion?" Philip murmured. “Where am
I being taken to?”
"We're going to lunch at the Flesh-
and-Blood." Tony replied, curtly. "But
I can't talk now."
"You'll find yourself talking to a
policeman soon,” said Philip, “If you
keep on at this rate. However, as It
Isn't my car It Isn’t my license"
He nnlaib«d with a gesture to Indicate
that hU life was of minor Importance.
Tony kept on. He was very evident
ly in a high fever of the nervous sys
tem. He crossed Oxford circus at a
speed which ought to have secured hla
expulsion from the Automobile Club
of Great Britain and Ireland, and his
progress thenco to Albemarle street
was an outrage upon decency and an
Incentive to revolution on the part of
the honest working classes. At length
he drew up before the rich bow-win
dowed facade of No. Ill, and flung
himself and Philip onto the pavement
with a vast explosive sigh of relief.
"Ouf,” he breathed. “I'm better!"
and to the rhaufTeur, "Be back at 4.”
The chauffeur touched his hat re
spectfully, but not without a secret
Idea about the advisability of finding
a fresh master.
“I nearly went off my head trying to
get Into that confounded coroner's
court,” said Tony, wiping his face.
"People standing behind the door—It
wouldn't open. Coat me half a crown
to the policeman to keep my blessed
nose at the crack of the door—and
then I couldn't hear properly. You
know how highly strung I am.' It up
set me! You ought to have come
around last night, old chap. I waited
dinner an hour and I didn't sleep a
wink."
Philip gazed at the young, Ingenuous
face.
"What's up?" he Inquired mildly.
“What's the matter?"
Tony whispered, i
footman at the portals:
’‘Glralda Is the matter! Come along
In."
They entered the marble foyer of
the Physique Club, referred to by every
one with the least pretension to social
style as the Flesh-and-Blood. The
Physique was certainly the club of
the moment. It had a vogue second
to none, and though Its subscription
was twenty guineas per annum, the
membership reached over four hundred
women. For It was essential to the
aim and purpose of the Physique that
It should be a "cock-and-hen" af
fair.
It had not escaped the attention of a
number of Intelligences In the aristoc
racy, the plutocracy, and the theatrical
profession—all diligent readers of tho
dally press—that the British race waa
physically deteriorating. Various
causes, It appeared, from the profes
sionalization of football to the Increas
ingly absurd craze for the competitive
examinations, were contributing to the
gradual extinction of a once hardy and
herculean stock, and the watchful pa
triotic Intelligences had decided that
something must be done to arrest this
gradual extinction. They saw that It
was the duty of the aristocracy, the plu
tocracy, and the theatrical profession
to set an example to the rest of the
nation, and the Physique Club was
started. It existed for the cult of the
body. It had swimming baths (In Its
first year the question of mixed bath
ing had nearly wrecked It), and seven
teen other sorts of baths, fencing sa
loons, billiard rooms, a skating rink,
athletic courts, boxing rings, shoot-

The premises were beautiful and lux

part of any proper physical method
that the eye must never bo offended.
There was certainly a reading room,
but It was not quite good form to let
one's self be seen there; the mind was
supposed to get more than sufficient
nourishment at the tape-machine In
the foyer.
Sir Anthony, after writing PhlUs
name In a morocco-bound folio in tL_
foyer, led Philip to the restaurant,
built and decorated in marble like the
foyer, and like the baths. HuSle was
forbidden In the restaurant, lest It
might distract the attention of eaters
from the process—one of the moat
critical passages In the body’s dally
history. The two were met on the
threshold by the famous msttre d'hotel

specially Imported, not for the know!
edge of gourmandlre (which was, how-
ever. Immense), but for hls.manner. For
Dumllatre's manner was ecclesiastical,
nay, ritualistic; It said to each person
entering the restaurant: “Now, let us
nnlty the great
crisis of the day. Let us give all our
brains to the selection of a refined
and suitable meal." It was Inimitable
that manner, and It cowered and awed
even the most careless eaters.
Dumllatre, long and thin, with
long romantic mustache, led his pa
tlents to a quiet corner of the room.
“Quite a simple lunch, Dumllatre,'
said Tony.
“Quite a simple lunch? Bfenl” said
Dumllatre.
And he seemed to retire like a poet
within the mysterious grottoes of his
own brain.
The clients waited breathless.
"Caviar de Sterlet," chanted Dumll
atre at length, gaslng at Tony's eyes.
He knew Tony's fondness for caviar.
'Eggs a la grand Due, Baron de Pauli
lac.” (This dish might have been
peer of the realm, so grmndlsse was
Dumllatre's enunciation.) "Asparagus
Mousseline.'' There a pause, and sud
denly, with a flash of genius, "Parfalt
au Moka.”
He smiled ecstatically, full of con
sciousness that ha was performing with
the finest ability his Important share
In the physical salvation of the Anglo-
Saxon race.
“And the wine,” Tony said. "I'm
run down. A little flas, eh?” "As
Monselur wishes," said Dumllatre, his
tone Indicating that champagne was
not the wine for such a repast
had created.
“What then?"
“Moulon Rothschild, or possibly St,
Jacques.”
"St. Jacques," Tony decided, looking
Philip for approval.
Whereupon Dumllatre retired to give
orders and to recuperate, while two
acolytes prepared the table. The day
was yst young, and not another patient
was In the restaurant.
"Phil,” the baronet began, his mouth
half full of caviar, "you remember me
telling you on Wednesday how I’d sat
In the same stall seventy-five nights
running to see a girl act?"
'•You said seventy-three," Philip
corrected him.
"Did I? Well, seventy-three. I'm
not sure, but I've got It ticked oIf In
Whitaker's almanac at the flat. Well,
It waa Glralda I used to go and aee."
“The deuce It was! Then you know
her?"
"It's like this. I know her and I
don't know her. She wasn't that sort,
you perceive, and although I half bur
led her In flowers, she wouldn't have
anything to do with me. I Imagined
I'd cured myself of the passion—for It
was passion, my boy. But I find
haven't. When I saw her name In the
? ipera last night I nearly went mad,
es, I did. I nearly went mad. Phil,
Glralda has got to be tracked, wher
ever she Is. She may be In danger.
"Was she beautiful?” Philip asked.
"Good heavens, man! You don'i
mean to say you don't know whether
Glralda la beautiful or notl If she
Isn't th* most beautiful woman on the
stage, she's Jolly near It. Why, every
fellow In the parish of Bt. James Is or
has been In love with her. Never seen
her act?"
"No."
"Impossible! She gets a hundred
guineas a week—guineas! Yea thanks,
bring the eggs—and some butter."
"I've not been to the theatre alnce
I reached years of discretion,” Philip
exclaimed. "That's the reason I've no
small talk. Besldea, I waa on duty
every night at the Jiu-Jitsu school."
But her portrait, man!”
What about It?"
Tony directed his friend's attention
to an exceedingly brilliant oil painting
of a young woman In Andalusian cos
tume, that was 1st Into the over
mantel above the great fireplace of
the salle a manger.
'That’s Pettlfer R. A.’s portrait of
her, given by him to the club. What
■ou think of It?"
said
> yoi
Philip gazed a long time.
"If she really has disappeared,'
he, quietly, "she must be found,
woman like that oughtn't to get lost.
It's a sheer waste.”
“I should think so!" the baronet
agreed heartily. "Why, you know,
Com, In Egypt—that's the musical
com. at the Metro.—would have been
without her. I ought to know—I saw
It seventy—seventy-three times.'
"How long has she been befoi
public?" Philip asked.
“Well, she's been before the public
ten years,” said Sir Anthony. "She
began at fifteen In the provinces, and
In the- provinces she stopped for
eight years. Then Talkee-Talkee dis
covered her In a pantomime at
Hanley and brought her to London.
She was the rage Inside of a week—
the rage! There’s a hotel pension In
Bloomsbury called (he ‘Glralda,’ and
I'm told It's always crowded by peo
ple who -like the name. And I can un
derstand It, my boy. What do you
think of that?” and the baronet paus
ed for a reply.
Philip continued to atare at the por
trait.
"That Is fame!” he murmured,-“and
to think that she was the daughter of
that old sailor,” hs murmured.
"Yes, astonishing, Isn't It?” said the
baronet.
"I suppose you wanted to marry
her?" Philip observed.
“Why, of course!" said the baronet.
"I'd marry her tomorrow If she'd give
me the chance."
"And yet you don't know anything
of her?"
“But I'm In love with Iter, you
cuckoo!' protested the baronet
You've never seen her. You don't

Chicago. Sept 5.—When the fall

"To Principals—Please advise
pupils of your school not to purchase

As a consequence, the term started

or she's boon kidnaped, ,,r what?
Something mas - have happened to her.'
"Happened to her!" exclaimed Tony.
■What can. have happened to her?"
"How do I know?" Philip uttered.
They both again looked at the proud
and beautiful face over the flreplac*.
Surely nothing sinister could have oc
curred to that being made for Joy and
delight!
"I shall go to Scotland Yard and
see Varcoe,” said Tony. "Eh?"
“And then?"
“I shall employ means to persuade
him that the discovery of Glralda'
whereabouts Is the moat Important part
of the Pollexfen case. These matters
can always be arranged.'
"And when you’ve found her, you’l
claim your reward In the shape of her
hand, eh?” Philip smiled.
'You don't understand lore,” said
Tony shortly. "Come upstairs and
hare a Leofanl."
Ho paid the bill at the desk, and
Dumllatre dismissed them above with
gesture of benediction. It waa now
o'clock, and there were a number of
peopl* In the restaurant The reading

other expletives of a leaa unobjectlon

Philip approached the window.
“I see nothing In particular," said
Philip.
"Don't you see that woman In a vie

“The lady with a purple hat five
slsea too large for her?"
"Yes, that's Josle."
"Is It really?”
"And I've asked her to lunch here,
and I forgot all about It"
"And who Is Josle?”
"Josephine Fire, my son. The other
star at th* Metro. Immense rivalry
between her and Glralda.”
"You love her also, then?" Philip
questioned.
"Well, you see, when I saw I had no
chance with Glralda—you see I was
obliged—In fact—she's a stunning girl.

The Western Idea
In Advertising-and
Its Progress
Ten years ago more than 60 per cent of American Adver
tising originated within 10 miles of Park Row, New Tork.
Today 60 per cent of American Advertising comes from the
Chicago territory.
T HE development of commercial
supremacy in The West is the
natural result of the development
of western advertising-—commercial
aggressiveness—advertising- activity.
The Western Spirit—Aggressiveness-
backed by facts has built up in Chicago
the largest advertising agency in
America—Lord & Thomas.
We are willing to take our share of
credit for the development of Western
Advertisers.
Our business has grown because we
have made the businesses of our clients
grow. ,
And because we did our share in build
ing up small Western Advertisers—
Eastern Advertisers (great and small)
have come to us until today we have an
annual business of $4,000,000.00 and 700
clients (small and large) from all over
the country.
Fortunately our volume of business
enables us to retain more $5,000, $10,000
and $20,000-a-year brains for the prepa
ration of advertising campaigns than
any other three advertising organiza
tions in the country combined.
Our volume of business has also given
us the most valuable advertising exper
ience which we compile into our Record
of Results.
This Record constitutes the Only Tan
gible Basis upon which to build an
Advertising Campaign with the most
reasonable assurance of success.
The Lord & Thomas Record of Results
is a tabulation of actual results—in
quiries and sales known positively to
have been produced by scores of classi
fications of selling plans and copy,
advertising hundreds of different com
modities in all good newspapers and
other good media.
We are fortunate in being located in
Chicago, because here the Western
Spirit is fully in evidence. And here
we are more closely in touch with every
part of the country than we would be in
any other city in the United States.
The center of population is within 100
miles of Chicago and it is thus the
logical—the actual center of publicity.
We are ready to focus the Spirit of The
West —the Brains —the Record of
Results and the Organization at our
command upon Your Proposition.
One of our representatives is in your
city looking after the interests of some
of our present clients every few days.
That is why we are advertising in this
newspaper—to you—NOW.
A letter, signifying that you will grant
us an interview in your office, will not
obligate you in any way.
We are Issuing a series of small books (doth
bound) covering advertising In all its phases,
which we send free to Interested advertisers.

Moving Better et Casino
There was a good excuse for the
manner of operation of tha Ponce De
Leon Caalno bill on Monday night. The
feature acts of the bill reached At
lanta on delayed trains from New York,
and owing to the great travel of Labor
day, the transfer company waa unable
to handle baggage, and In consequence’
lot of tired out and nerve wrecked
beings tried to entertain without ef
fects and wardrobe that made up much
of the variety of the entertainment.
Everything was put In proper ehape
Tuesday, however, and both perform-
snees at the delightfully pleasant the
ater yesterday were given a real mark
of approval, and the show was enthu
siastically received. And now that
everything Is running smoothly, the bill
Is going to make one of the hits of
the season, and will probably play to
close point to the record for attend
ance.
Vaudeville Is popular, and Just the
sort of bill now at th* Casino has es
tablished this fact. There Is good va
riety in the make-up, and that the bill
Is hlgh-rloss I* a fact that will b* In

who make three complete changes of
