With two hundred and Vry pounds In hla pocket, he wae conscious of a pow erful desire to postpone the real an nouncement of the reign of economy until the morrow, and to fare very well, Just that night, at the Cafe Royal. But native force of character, aided by his wish to acquaint himself with the In- matea of the house, enabled him', to re- ,1st the horrid temptation. After all, life was earnest. Moreover, he had a career to carve, and Instead of dwelling on the captain's murder, which did not In the least concern him, he must con cern himself with the process of carv ing. He descended to the office and or dered his dinner from Mr. Hllgay, who ticked off his name In one of the ledg ers on tho desk In the office, and gave him a little receipt for tenpence. A gentleman with an adventurous nose and an appearance of prosperity and self-possesnlon was In the office with Mr. Hllgay, and this Individual turned at once to Philip. 'Mr. Masters, I believer’ "Yes," said Philip, gruffly, objecting to the noise. "I am the special commissioner of tfie Evening Record. We are making a special Inquiry Into thls-er-affalr. 1 had the pleasure of seeing you In court this morning, and”— "So glad It pleased you,” said Philip. If I had only been In the dock no doubt your pleasure also would have been special." The special commissioner laughed easily. "I shall be very much obliged,” he continued, "If you will give me a few moments." "I will give you all the time there Is," said Philip: "that Is to say. twen ty-four hours In every day. Take It every bit. I don't ask to share It with you." Anti he left the office and the special commissioner. It Is difficult to Justify his behavior toward this representative of an au gust profession. The fact was, how ever. that the Evening Record had printed a special column In Its best, facetious style on the ducal episode >t the Jlu Jitsu school, and Philip had not been enthusiastic about the tone of the references to himself. He was Just a little late for dinner through having dropped off Into a dose during the process of excogitating upon his future; he had not yet recovered all the sleep lost on the night of the mur der. He descended-to the front base ment, where Mr. Adrian Hllgay's pay ing gnesls refreshed themselves In un challengeable respectability, with a certain nervousness. In the first place, he had prominently figured at the In quest. and the talk would certainly bear upon the Inquest; he might be questioned; he might even be regarded with suspicion. And, In the second place, he was really rather too well dressed for such an assemblage. To est a ten-penny dinner In a frock coat that had cost five guineas only a couple of days before seemed to border upon Imperfect taste. But what was Jc to do? He could not be changing “!* ,ul >> all day. And If he had ’Panged at all at that hour he might. through sheer absent-mindedness, havt changed Into evening dress, which would have been to create a sensation. He foand some thirty out of the six ty clients of Mr. Hllgay seated at their long tables In the refectory. The boys were securing a brown stock soup; a few of the guests were absorbing the soup noiselessly, and a few xvere not. The place and the people looked ex tremely mournful. Philip at once per ceived that nothing can be more tragic than gentility divorced from riches. T"® re were far more gentlemen than ladles, and far more aged than youth; not one woman was young, or had been young recently, and Philip was decld- dely the only man under forty. Clothes were sombre, vague, either too loose or too tight: linen was like snow long fallen. Conversation scarcely existed, and such talk as struggled Into being was stupid and banal. He had ex pected to be greeted by a buzz of chat ter about the Inquest, to hear a vi vacious conflict of theories concerning the Identity of the murderer. But nothing of the kind. Misfortune, dis appointment, failure and solitary life had made Mr. Hllgay's guests egotists of the most ferocious sort. They were swathed In Innumerable thicknesses of their wrongs and their exasperated desires and their foiled hopes. The murder of all the captains of the mer cantile marine would scarcely have dis turbed them from their faklr-like con templation of themselves which Is the characteristic of genteel and lonely poverty. They addressed themselves to their ten-penny meal with an In tensity of purpose that was al most sublime. Philip had taken a place at the end of the table nearest the door; half a dozen empty covers separated him from his next neighbor, a man In a dark gray suit and a fed necktie; not a soul showed more than a passing, faintly hostile Interest In him. The two persons whom it might have amused him to contemplate, Mrs. Upottery and John Meredith, the young man with the scar and the £ leasant voice—were ' not present. loubtless Mrs. Upottery, after her exertlona of the morning, had resumed her bed of sickness. Possibly John Meredith lacked tenpence. And In brief, as Philip sat there, having Im bibed the excellent soup, and await ing the excellent New Zealand mutton,' In that low-celled room with Its four cold electric lights, Its bare furniture. Its collection of forlorn but prim hu manlty, and Its Inhuman boys lmltat Ing, In perfunctory manner, the wait' ers of a fashionable restaurant, a deep sadness took possession of his spirit he wanted to run away and be Joyous; he wanted to pretend that there was no such thing In this world as ugly undignified failure. He swore he would not 'stay In the Corner house another twenty-four hours. Indeed, he had a mind to move straight away, without even tasting the excellent New Zea land mutton, to the Savoy hotel. With two hundred and fifty pounds he could have a hundred days of splendor at the Savoy. Then'Mr. Vascoe came Into the re factory- He was disguised as ons of London's rejected, a -consumptive man with pale hand vend a flushed face and stooping shoulders',-his suitability for And rnno llflH the gruyere—It was a satisfying If unorlg Inal repast. He heard the voice o_ Vascoe now and then, emitting some phrases which he failed to grasp, the next thing was that Vascoe and left. Vascoe, beginning last, finished first. He drank half a glass of water and followed on Vascoe' heels. But when he arrived on ground floor there was not a sign Vascoe. Mr. Hllgay was eating neat ly In his office. He did not question Mr. Hllgay about Vascoe. No doubt Vascoe was present In the house with the privity of .Mr. Hllgay, and Philip felt, therefore, that he could not be too discreet. Besides, he had no right to Invade the office of Mr. Hllgay, whose bearing toward himself, so friendly on the Tuesday night, had somewhat altered since the Inquest. He stood a moment at the front door. The crowd had dispersed. The workmen In tho trench had gone. Tho trench showed Its little warning lamps In Strange street, and without doubt the watchman, Charlie Lad. resumed his nightly vigil In the cabin at the corner. Overhead the sky was beau tifully clear and the moon Just rising. In a gloomy and wavering mood Philip climbed the stairs to get his hat and overcoat; the thirty diners were now straggling upward In ones and twos. It needed physical exercise and In two minutes he was heading along Holborn for Oxford street and the re maining distance to Bayswater. Ncv er, he thought, had anything so de pressed him os the excellent dinner offered by Mr. Halgay to his boarders at ths price of tenpence, or one shilling If not ordered In advance. He said to himself that he would have preferred to consume "two stone steps and a pint eyes. The recognition diverted Phil ip's thoughts, and he was Inclined once more to remain at the Corner house for the mere sake of adventure. Mr. Vas coe strode uncertainly to thh other erid of the room, where a place hap pened to be vacant He gave his little receipt form and commenced his meal without a word, eating raven ously. Once his glance' met the rov ing glance of Philip, and Philip raised ever so slightly his forehead to Indi cate to Mr. Vascoe that hla disguise had not been Impenetrable. In return Mr. Vascoe ever so slightly raised- his forehead, presumably to Indicate to Philip that he relied on Philip’s discre tion. The detective's presence there could mean one thing only—that the detec tive suspected the murderer, or an ac complice of the murderer, to be among the guests of the house. Philip gated up at a notice on the wall, to the efTect that nothing but fil tered water could be served at lunch and dinner, but that guests might themselves Introduce beer Into the house, providing the beer woe bottled. And as he gated the printed notice ap peared to fade and the portrait of Olralda to shine through It. The way In which that portrait haunted him, challenged him, distracted him, was highly disconcerting. It was curious how the vision of It made him dream, made him resent the evidence of Sir Anthony Oldrlng, and even of the mar quis of Nandego. Was she dead? Would her wonderful corpse one day be discovered to the horror of the town? Or did she live, somewhere, In some mystery withdrawn?

Tomorrow hi* career must receive attention, must peruse with diligence and dls crimination the advertisement* In the Dally Telegraph and the Dally Chroni cle, and he muet advertise, he must get testimonials, he must gird up his loin* agaln*t tho world, he must con ceive a plan of campaign. But he could not control his thoughts, not even though he bought a best ci gar at the little tobacco shop on the northeast side of Oxford Circus anil began to emoke It In order to steady his nerves. He could not dismiss that puzzling and distracted portrait from before hi* eyes. He could not refrain from etrlvlng to penetrate the mystery which enshrouded the disappearance of Olralda and the death of her father. He tried to think of a clew, only one little Clew, and the quest seemed ab surdly hopeless. Varcoe's effort seem ed to him equally ridiculous, for al though Philip had the highest opinion of the London police ns mirrors of courtesy, controllers of street traffic and walking directories, he despised them as trackers of a criminal. He could Imagine a detective In Paris or St. Petersburg performing miracles of craft, but London was too matter-of- fact, too blunt, too heavy footed. Had he not, for example, Instantly pene trated Varcoe's disguise? There were sixty persons In the lodging house. Would the police search the entire building? Impossible. The stranger seen by Mrs. Upottery In the Cap tain’s room—how could the police hope to hit on that man? The boy who hail given the false alarm to the watchman —how to distinguish him from all the other boys In London. These persona had vanished. Olralda had vanished. The dead man's brother hod vanished. Tho-blood-marked stono had vanished. The Captain's papers had vanished. And, to cap all, there were the confus ing and contradictory theories of the Russian secret society and the West Indian burled treasure—both of them wild. Incredible, grotesque theorler which honest, credulous, crude un conscious foolishness might ho expect ed to draw acrors the true scent of the murderer. He was still fretting In the maze of multitudinous and useless conjecture when, at the Marble Arch, an Insist ent hawker forced him to buy tho sec ond extra of the Evening Record nt one penny, a hundred per cent above Its face value. He glanced through It under a lamp post. Nearly the whole of Page three of the Record was glvon up to the inquest and to the brilliant futile performance of the Record’s spe cial commissioner. The latter stated briefly that "Mr. Philip Congleton Mas ters” ' (The Record’s passion for leav ing nothing out Is to be noted In the full and accurate revelation of Philips name), "whose connection with a re cent episode at the Jlu Jitsu 8ehool, In Jermyn street, will be remembered, be trayed a strange disinclination to say anything whatever. Doubtless Mr. Philip Congleton Masters hsd reasons for this reticence which seemed suffi cient to him.” The special commis sioner had evidently also been disap pointed by his reception at the wid owed hands of Mr*. Upottery, but chivalry had prevented him from show ing that disappointment too keenly. Philip, feeling that, after all, a spe cial commissioner Is, Just as much as sny other sentient being, an illustra tion and proof of the great Darwinian law of the survival of the Attest, care fully folded up the paper and gave It to the hawker to sell again. Instead of going straight turned abruptly down through the noc turnal groves of Hyde park, crossed Bt. George's place, went along Bird Cage walk and so reached Westminster Bridge. After tarrying on the moonlit and lampllt embankment, he walked to as far as the Temple Station, and then mounted Arundel street and came to Aldwych and Klngsway once more. The Metropolitan theater and Pleasure House, with facade and glorious blue radiance of electricity, was disgorg ing theatrical patrons; the music hall moiety of Its evening's activity was not'yet flnlshed. Three nights sgo, penniless, Philip would have crept by unostentatiously on the side of thr road, but tonight, bulging with bank notes, he pushed with a certain care less deliberate annoyance through the well-clad throng. Every men except Philip seemed to be Intent on getting hlmeelf and hla women folk sent home like parcels, and the openers of cab- doors, official and unofficial, were par ticipating In the prosperity of the Met ropolitan and British empire. Now among the corps of openers was a ne gro, and though all negroes hare the air of being the same negro. Philip by minute Investigation , soon satisfied himself that this particular negro was identical with Maasa Coco—not the Massa Coco of the Inquest In broad cloth and many tears, but a Massa Coco attired In effective tatters for the business of drawing tears from the eyes of wealthy and susceptible females nt eleven fifteen of the night. Philip watched him In the pursuit of coin until the crowd had thinned to a trickle of unhurried persons, and he was Just approaching lo speak to him when, at the next entrance, the, audience of the music hall suddenly burst forth to take such cabs as the theatrical contingent had left. It was after half past eleven when Coro, breathless and apparently satisfied, drew Into the shadow of the Prescriptions Properly Priced It has always been our aim to give our best attention to our prescription department, always having the work done by thor oughly competent men and re quiring absolute accuracy, which has built up our prescription de partment to what It Is.

I told de Judge what I know. I answer do Judge. I not nnswer ebbery 'pertinent p’leecoman dat comes along. Good night, Sah! Good night!

Yes,.sab.” "What! The man you saw In'the hotel In the Waterloo road?” “Yes, sah!” '■You’re .sure?" 'Tadam sure, sah!” "Where?"

The shock of this Information, even though lie 111 * I not unconditionally ac cept It as a fuel, produced a turmoil In Philip's mind which had a curious ef fect. For he suddenly thought of a tri fling Incident which he had utterly for gotten, and the Incident assumed now, for some Inexplicable reason, a strange and formidable linpni tnnee, namely, the swift raising and dropping of a blind In the window of the Corner house at the moment when he was speaking to the on the morning of the dis covery of the corpse. Here, he reflect ed^ was conceivably a clew. hurried up to street. He felt sure that the window was the first floor window nearest the corner of Strange street and Little Glrdler’s alley, and a moment's Inspection of the house served to confirm his msm- ory. That window was now Illumi nated. He went meditatively upstairs, and as he reached the corridor a clock ■truck 12 and all the lights except that In the hall were extinguished, ■topped In the darkness at the corner of the two corridor* op the first floor, and drew from hi* pocket a small elec tric lamp which he usually carried.'By accident he dropped It, and In groping for It, he displaced one of the house painter's planks and made a consider able noise. But he found the lamp, isalng the button, he gaied at the door of the room In which the blind had been so auspiciously llttsd and dropped. There was not a sound In the great house. Then a board cracked, and then the door of the room opened, bruequely, and a man appeared. It was John Meredith, with the scar.

Some Tall Hustling Ahead For Presidency of The Senate. The five-cornered race for the pres idency 6f the next state senate will be renewed with vigor, now that the state convention Is over, and practically all the senators have been nominated. There are only L w o or three dis tricts In which nominees have not been named, and these will be chosen In the general election, Wednesday, October 3. The live candidates for president of the state senate are: Akin, of Bartow; Martin, of Whitfield; Hardman, of Jackson; Flynt, of Spalding, and Feld er, of Bibb. The first two are from North Geor gia, the third from East Georgia, and the last two from the middle section of the state. There le no South Georgia candidate this time, that section having hod this honor In the past senate, presided over by Hon. W. 8. West, of Lowndes. It Is not known whether these gentlemen will follow the precedent set by ex- Speaker Newt Morris In 1003 and Pres ident W. S. West, of the senate In 1905, In making a personal canvass of the nominees at their homes throughout the state. This was a novel departure In state politics and attracted much attention at the time. An active state canvess by the present flv* aspirant! would precipitate another picturesque cam paign for presiding officer of the upper louse. South Georgia can well afford to lay dormant and make no claim for thk office at this time. She has had four presidents of the aenate since recon ■tructlon. They were: The late Rufus E. Lea ter, of Chatham; Hon. Fleming G. du Blgnon, then of Chatham; Judge R. G. Mitchell, of Thomas, father of Repre- ■eptatlve Fondren Mitchell, and Hon. W. 8. West, of Lowndes. Whether the action of the twenty, second senatorial convention In In dorstng Hon. T. S. Felder, of Bibb, tot the presidency of the next senate, will be construed as the administration candidate, remains to be seen, but tht resolutions Indorsing him were offered by Judge A. L. Miller, chairman of the recent state convention In Macon. Those resolutions. were as follows "Resolved first. That th* Hon. Thos. S. Felder, this day nominated by this convention ae the Democratic nominee for senator from the Twenty-eecond senatorial district. Is, by reason of his brilliant service to the state during the past seven years In the house of repre. ■entatlvea, by hie remarkable quallfi. cations as a parliamentarian, by his untiring devotion to the Interests and service of ths people, eminently fitted to fill the high position of the preet dency of the senate. "Resolved second. That thle conven tlon doe* therefore hereby warmly nnd strongly Indorse the candidacy of Mr. Felder for the position of president of the next state senate and respectfully Invoke In his behalf the votes and sup port of his fellow senators for that re* sponsible office." This Is calculated to make th* other candidates sit up straight and do some tall thinking.
