1 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 19CS. DOUBLOONS A THRILLING NOVEL OF MYSTERY, TRAGEDY AND A-STOLEN FORTUNE Bv EDEN PHILLPOTTS AND ARNOLD BENNETT (Copyright. 1308, by Eden Phlllpotts and Arnold Bennett.) CHAPTER XII. The Bank Note. The police, even aided by the mon arch of Scotland Yard, made no uaeful dlM-overy that day. They had no point from which to bfgln. If Mr. Varcoe had only given the leant and vagueat hint to hla assistants, the enquiry per haps might hav.< bean more success ful. He had choaen otherwlae, how ever, and ha waa now paying. If he had not already paid, the penalty of vain, glorious pride. An for the Journalists, they did no better than the police; but then they were hampered by the police, whereas the police were not hampered by them. Philip, as the newly appoint e<l representative of The Courier, moved with hla satellites regally up and down the house. He had conceived a preliminary and extremely compre henslve plan, and he began at once to carry It out, though he did not hope for Immediate results; he had forty hours before the next ordinary edition went to press, and If any unusual luck happened to him within twenty hours there would still be time for the spe cial Sunday edition suggested by Lord Nosing. Hla photographer and I ’ tame grammarian, who was also stenographer, he regarded as two beau tiful new toys. In knocked at John Meredith' hour was noon. "Who’s there?" cried the wonderful voice of Meredith, and Philip nottcedl In It a tone of almost excessive atnrm. "It's Masters," Philip replied.! ■ want to have a talk with you. If you can spare the time." No reply came and Philip knocked I again. "Did yog hear?" he questioned.! I “I—I can’t talk Just noW," Meredith replied, and Philip seemed to detect| tenrs In the voice. "Shall you be In for lunch, may I ask?" Another pause and then an agltated| response! *T don’t think so; I may be^H Philip walked to the head of thel stairs, undecided what to do. He had ret his mind on an Interview with John Meredith, not necessarily for reproduc tion in The Courier, but for. hla own enlightenment. The young man's sing ular demeanor on the previous night, at nwntlon of Captain Pollexfen’s brother, had remained In Philip's mind with special clearness. And the matter or the blind presented features of the most extraordinary Interest. Moreover, he still felt strongly that Meredith waa In need of assistance, and he wished to I render that assistance, ■ I Aa he stood In the shadow at thel head of the stalra he heerd a door very cautiously opened, and then a aoft, tepid step along the corridor. Meredith appeared In hat and overcoat, and Mer- "dlth had evldantly not expected to And Philip In the path. He gave Philip one furtive look of pathetle dismay, hesitated, and then ruahed paat him down the stairs without a word. Philip, dumfounded, descended after him to the street. Meredith had has tened out, turned to the right and up the alley, half running. At a discreet distance he waa followed by a man who detached himself from the staring c rowd without hindrance from the po- he c- and whom Philip knew for a detec tive. Difficulties with his private photog rapher afforded some distraction to l'hlllp'a mind. Meredith did not come to lunch. But Mr*. Upottery, to tjie surprise of all the world, did come to lunch. She was In profound mourning, as at the Inquest, and she ate a satis factory meal wllb Infinite gravity, re fusing, however, the tapioca pudding —perhaps on account of Ita flippancy. Bile' spoke to none of the remnant of ie,..p!e gt the tables, and none dared to ceddreee her. She was sterner here even than at the Inquest, and men mar veled anew that eueh frigid and antique rharms hod bewitched Captain Pol- Ic-xfen, who was a Bailor and probably therefore a connoisseur In charms of] all countries. Philip, who had eaten nothing, mark ed Mrs. Upottery for his lawful prey.I He had never In such brief part of his life as had been devoted to silken dal liance, achieved astounding victories] ever tha young, but among elderly la dles he had always been a favorite. There waa something In his eyes that appealed to elderly ladles, and he had an Idea that that something would not In vain appeal to Mra. Upottery. He waited for her to rise, meaning to fol low her out, but she did not rlie. In stead of rising sho took a small book from her pocket and began to read; It was a prayer book of the Church of England. One by one the guests de parted, and at length Mra. Upottery and the young man who meant that hla eyes should appeal to her were left alone together. Her eyes wandered frgjn the prayer book and were acci dentally caught by hla. She was In his net. "Mrs. Upottery!" ho addressed her curnsstly, with a serious smile. "Young man!" Her lone was deep and formidable, but not unfriendly. Tm lure you've been fearfully both ered and worried by all sorts of peo ple this morning, but I'm charged with a special mission of Inquiry by a big dally paper, and I wondered If you ould " He stopped H-lmt V* Her voice faltered, and she hid her face In tha black-bordsred handlcer chief. "Certainly," said Philip. "Certainly. I wasn't aware—" "It’s at B—Brompton,” sobbed Mrs. Upottery. He assured her that he would attend the funeral, and he waa about to ex cuse himself from troubling her fur ther when ahe astonished him by say. Ing, as she wiped her eyes; "What do you want me to tell you?" He replied eagerly, "I want you to begin at the beginning and tell me everything. I'm sure we shall come across something that may lead to clew." "Here?" ahe queried, looking around, and. not waiting for hla answer, she said, "Yes. Come and alt near me. I m rather deaf." "Now, how did you first become ac 3 unintfid with the Captain?* Philip emended, obeying her, and trying to "If I would what?" she positively smiled In her turn. "If you would mind telling me the whole history of your relations with the late Captain Pollexfen." "I have been bothered and worried." said Mrs. Upottery. “And tomorrow Is his funeral. I hope you will go to It, as a mark of respect.” feel aa much like a Journalist as he could. She turned on her chair to face him her llpa trembled In the effort to ar ticulate; a terrlflc sob escaped her, and she fell against him, seaming partly to lose consciousness. Then, as If ashamed of this weakness, she some how found her feet and sank back on her chair. "Brandy," she whispered, "(Jet me some brandy, young man." She wae breathing heavily, Philip, vastly disconcerted, raced from the room and called a boy, and, after some delay, brandy was obtain ed and administered, and he assisted Mrs. Upottery upstairs, finding her very henvy and unwieldy, especially on the basement steps. "Thank you, young man," she said. ‘You nre the first person who has been kind to me, since his—his—'■ "Don't talk,” said Philip, "If It up- seta you." "I cannot talk of It," she answered, ■But I ran write It all down and I will do It. It will calm me. I will do It to night, this very night." He thanked her. "And may I u what you write In my paper?” "Yea." said Mrs. Upottery. "It’s .. very rich and successful paper. Isn't "Very,” Philip agreed. ""’ell." the lady said meekly, "they must give me a hundred guineas for what I write. It will be worth that" Philip waa thunderstruck. "A hun dred guineas!” he muttered. "Yes," said Mrs. Upottery. "Of course not for myself, young man. I shall give It to the Sailors’ Home at Southampton, where once my poor— my poor—" Tears silenced her. Philip consented. He had carte blanche. At 7 o'clock precisely he re-entered the Brent building. "Which floor Is Lord Naslng’s room on?” he demanded of the lift-boy. "You enn't see ’Is lordship," ths boy answered. He was a tall, loutish lift-boy, grad uating In the Brant school of manners, to which Philip was not accustomed. He therefore took the boy’s ear be tween Ms fingers and thumb and press ed the eecond finger Into a particular spot behind tha ear. In five seconds :ne lift waa wafting him upward. "Now show me Lord Naslng’a door," said Philip. "I’m not very good at ge ography." “I dam’t leave the lift,” the boy pro tested. •’Come.” said Philip. The boy came. And now knock at' the door for me." The boy knocked. ’And now run away to your lift, and remember to know me next time I come.” There waa no reply to the knock. However, as he had a definite appoint ment, Philip entered. The room was empty. One electrle light burned over the great round table. By way of II SAY RED ROCK' SAY IT PLAIN good .enough to ask me to dine with him at the Savoy." "If you don’t mind,” Philip added, "we'll go to the grill room, aa I am not dressed." He was strangely enthusiastic In his new profession. He reckoned that he was succeeding. And certainly his exit In company with Lord Naslng from the Brent building gave currency to a rumor among the Innumerable, staff that he waa.. The reception of the pair In the grill room of the Savoy, where Lord Naslng was well known, amounted to a triumph. Philip ordered the wine, and drank moat of the first bottle be fore the peer could begin. "And now," said he over the soup. ’HI tell you what I’ve done. Well, I’ve spent about ft hundred and eighty! pounds." Lord Naslng arrested his spoon. ••You’re a costly luxury," said his lordship. "No wonder you ask me to dinner.” “Not at all. . I’m cheap. In return for that trifling sum l'va secured a long algned article by Mrs. Upottery— It will be delivered tomorrow—giving the entire hlatory of her relations with the dead man. and also his Interviews with signed statements from thirty- one out of the sixty boarders In the house. I’ve also secured a long article from myself of unique Interest. And look here!” He tumbled a heap of rough pho tographic prints from his pocket. "Here are photographs -of the house; | the sewer; the captain's room, where the murder was probably committed; the atalrs; a group of boarders at lunch; the crowds In the street; sep arate portraits of forty boarders.

COX CROWDS ATTEND GENTRY'S SHOWS Performance Is Best of its Sort Ever Seen Here. Children and grown-ups find peren nlal delight In the tented performance, and In the doings of educated animals humanity finds keen delight. Ample testimony for corroboration of this fact was found Monday In two crowds that tested the capacity of Gentry Bros.' tent at Jackson and Old Wheat streets, aft ernoon and night. At the afternoon performance hun dreds were turned away because room could not be found for another person without seriously hampering the work of the animal pertormers. The presa agent's promise of “bigger, better and grander than ever” waa verified to the satisfaction of everyone. Gentry Bros, have accomplished mar. vels In training horses, dogs, elephants and monkeys. No one can watch the wonderful work of these dumb crea tures without marveling both at the Intelligence displayed and the infinite patience of the trainers In bringing about such perfection. There are many new features this year. The bell ringing horses, who pro. duce "Home, Sweet Home.” the marvel ous grouping and evolutions of the beautiful Shetland ponies, the ponder ous tricks of the elephants, the work of the canine family—all add to the ileasure of the performance. The fam- ly of Japanese acrobats, father and three aons, the youngest a tiny chap, are the best ever seen here. Two performances Tuesday will close the engagement In Atlanta.
