CHAPTER XVIII.
The Platter.
Monday was destined to bo a day of
cumulative surprise for Sir Anthony
Dldrlng. He arose early In an expec
tant and nervous condition, and ho was
consuming grape-nuts In his chamber,
under the relentless gaze *of Oxwtch,
before the morning's post, which is
always rather later on Mondays than
nit other days, had passed through the
various sorting processes of the Devon
shire mansion and reached his room.
When It did come the shocks began. In
the first place he had latterly seen
nothing of Philip, and a great deal too
much of Josephine Fire, and he sent a
messenger to Philip at the Corner
House on the Sunday night, the tele-
phone having proved useless. The
messenger had not found Philip, and
had left a note requesting Philip to
write to Sir Anthony by the midnight
post without fall, making an appoint
ment for Monday. Tony, like all the
rest of London, was In a fever of cu
riosity concerning the latest develop
ments of the Pollexfen affair, and he
felt that Philip had unjustly neglected
him. He had a million questions to
put to Philip, and quite seventy and
seven theories to suggest, and he was
relying absolutely on receiving some
word with his Monday's grape-nuts.
But there was no letter from Philip In
the little pile; there was not even a
postcard. There was a bill for hose, a
prospectus of the Sword Club, a notice
from the Serpentine Swimming Club,
an Invitation to a galanty show at the
Grafton Gallery and another for a lec
ture on Socrates at the Hotel Majestic,
a note from Josephine breaking an
appointment, an emotional epistle from
his tailors saying that they would need
all the help he could give them In the
delicate matter of fitting a dress suit
recently ordered, and a sisterly letter
from his sister, Mrs. Appleby.
On reading the last he Interrupted
the feast to explain to Oxwlch.
“Mrs. Appleby ls coming to lunch."
he murmured In a voice of manly
resignation.
"Certainly, sir. But this Is your
Turkish bath day.”
“I must leave that till tomorrow."
“Certainly, sir. But tomorrow Is
your banjo lesson, the dress suit try-on
and the new chauffeur to choose."
Tony stroked a wayward fragment of
grape-nut from the lapel of his ollvo
silk dressing gown.
"Oxwlch,” he said, with an air of
momentous decision, "I shan't be able
to have my Turkish bath this week—
that's the plain English of It.”
"I tear so, sir."
"My nephew Is coming for lunch,
too," said Tony, apologetically.
"Master Horace, sir?" Oxwlch was
obviously pained.
"Well, I haven't got forty nephews.
Yes. Master Horace."
"Perhaps I had better look up the
cigarettes, sir?"
“Yes. Now about lunch"—
“Yes, sir. Now about lunch."
The Important question about lunch
was on the very point of being dis
cussed when a third shock happened to
Sir Anthony, and this third shock was
so powerful that the important question
of Monday's lunch never was discussed
at all. It was forgotten, shelved, ad
journed sine die, A servant entered
the dining room to say that some
wanted to Bpeak to Sir Anthony.
"Go and see, Oxwlch," Tony ordered.
And the Grand Vizier departed to
Indicate to the visitor the extent of
the visitor's absurdity In wishing to
see Sir Anthony at a quarter to nine In
the morning.
Sir Anthony addressed himself to the
newly Invented descriptive advertise
ments In the Times newspaper, which
at that period were enjoying a greater
success In clubs and mansions than
anything since the lamented death of
De Blowltz.
Oxwlch returned almost Immediately.
"It's a man with a silver salver. Sir
Anthony." ,.
"What do I want with silver salver?"
"It Isn't exactly silver, sir—I should
say It's Britannia ware."
"And If It Is?"
"There’s some writing scratched on
It and he says It’s for you, and he
ain’t going to give It to nobody but
you, as he says, sir. Oxwtch's Imi
tations of popular dialect were apt to
be somewhat stlif.
•Who Is the man?"

“Where do you say you found the
thing?"
"1 say I found It In my boat, sir.”
“And where was your boat?"
"My boat was lying oft Green's wharf.
Poplar, sir."
"Had It been there long?"
“All night, sir."
"Perhaps X had better make a note of
this person's statements, sir," Oxwlch
whispered dramatically, and his mas
ter nodded. Oxwlch carried a note
book like a policeman and like a po
liceman he drew It out. Only the word
"reward" scratched on the platter pre
vented the waterman from violently
protesting.'
"And you went to your boat at halt
past 7 this morning?"
"Yes, sir. At half past 7."
"It was lying In the sternsheets
against the tiller."
“You might ask him what time he
left the boat last night, sir,” Oxwlch
murmured.
"I was Just going to. What time did
you leave the boat last night, my
man?"
■ “I didn't leave It last night. I left It
at 1 o'clock this morning."
"So that some one must have put the
platter In your boat between 1 o'clock
and 7; 30 this morning?”
"You may reckon It out like that,
sir.”
"You have no Idea who put It In?"
"No more than you. sir, or ’im."
And the waterman jerked his head to
ward Oxwlch.
“It might have been dropped In from
the wharf, eh?"
“Or from a passing ship," Oxwlch
whispered.
The waterman smiled.
"Could It have been dropped In from
a passing ship?" asked Tony.
"What! Into a boat tied up to a
wharf? You ain't got to think as a
ship Is a blessed hansom cab as goes
about grazing lamp-posts and corners.
No! There was, howsumever, a ship
a-Iying off the wharf, and my boat
was alongside of her, between her and
the wharf, sir."
“Then, do you think the platter was
dropped off that ship Into your boat?"
“I never think about things as ain't
my affair. It don't pay in the cus
toms. But I don’t say as that platter
wasn’t dropped out o' that boat”
"If I may offer a remark, sir," Ox
wlch put In, "the salver was more prob
ably dropped from the ship than from
the wharf. Assuming the gentleman
who wished the salver to reach you to
have been on the wharf, why should he
htfve chosen to drop It Into a boat? He
was on dry land, and could have done
all sorts of things. Whereas, If he
was on the ship, his choice was limited
—In fact strictly limited."
"Moreover,” said the waterman, "I
don’t say as the portholes o' that there
ship weren't pretty small, and X don’t
say as a man mightn't have bent this
platter, as it is bent, to shove It
through one of them portholes. If he
did he had a fist on 'Im, he 'ad."
“And Mr. Masters was possessed of
exceptional physical force, sir,” added
Oxwlch.
It Is plain," said Tony, astounded
by his own penetration, "that the plat
ter was dropped off the ship Into your
boat.”
Especially as It's a nhlp'o platter."
said the boatman.
"The ship is still there?" Tony re
sumed his examination.
"If she is she's put back," the wa
terman replied. "She cast off at 5
o’clock this morning, accordin' to what
I'm told."
"What kind of a ship was she?"
"She wasn’t no kind of a ship, to
speak of, sir. No class. She was an
old tub as called herself a steam yacht.
Belfast built, about 300 hundred ton.
Been on hire In Westerton's yard for
two year or more.”
What Is her namo?"
The White Rose ilr.”
Then someone has hired her
cently?”
•'Or bought her. There’s fools enough
on Thames’ side. Gawd knows.
You'ilon't know who?"
I don’t know nothing more. sir. And
If It’s all the samo to you, I must be
going, sir. I've got to sign on at noon.
And If the party as Is scribbling wants
my name he can have It, and address.”
He touched his forehead to Tony, an-
tlclpatoriiy.
"Well, my man. here's a sovereign
for your trouble," said the baronet, af
ter the waterman had Imparted the
details of his Identity.
"Thank you, sir," said the water
men, gloomily. "That'll leave me six
teen and eleven, not to mention as
there's my fares back again. Say fif
teen shillings for me when all’s paid.
Well"
Tony was of an extremely generous
disposition. He saw at once that, hav
ing regard to the peculiarity of the
case, he had perhaps not been too lav
ish In this instance; but like most
generous people he was rendered utr
terly hard by an accusation of stingi
ness. He stared at the waterman In
haughty silence.
"Why, the platter s worth that, mut
tered the waterman, disillusioned. "And
a 'sir,' too!"
"Oxwlch,” said Sir Anthony, when
the man had gone, "we must find out
what Grand Etang means."
•'Yes, sir. It is evidently the name or
a place, and sounds French
manager of the Mansion Inform Sir
Anthony where Grand Etang was. The
manager of the Mansion, however,
could not, but he promised vaguely
to move In the matter. Then Oxwlch
returned perusing the Index of the
Atlas as he walked. He triumphed
at the very Instant of re-entering the
room. There were two Grand Etangs
In the index of the Atlas. But the
triumph of Oxwlch was brief, for both
the Grand Etangs proved to be little
inland spots In France—places to which
not even an old tub of three hundred
tons could possibly voyage.
“Oxwlch,” said Sir Anthony finally,
“you must go up to the British Mu.
aeum.”
■'Yee, ilr,” replied Oxwlch In a voice
of desperation.
At the moment Mrs. Appleby and her
aon, Horace, entered. Oxwtch having
been torn from hie duties to the pur
suit of learning, these visitors had been
allowed to come In without any cere
mony or precautions.
"We've come early, bo as to epend.the
day with you, darling," laid Mrs. Ap
pleby.
Sir Anthony stared desolately at the
arrival.
'Where Is Grand Etang, sonny?" he
demanded abruptly of Horace.
“Grand Etang? It's something

ing child without the least hesitation,
thus justifying his mother's estimate of
his erudition. “It's either a mountain
or a valley or a river, or aomethlng
of that kind. We had the West Indies
last week In Jography.”
Sir Anthony precipitated himself
upon the volumes containing G, and
sought Grenada. Yes, surely. Grand
Etang was therel Though given nelth
er as a mountain nor a valley nor a
river, but as an Island lake, It was In
dubltably there! It had lain hidden
In the Encyclopedia Brlttanlca all the
morning, and Its discovery was due to
Horace alone.
Oh. that's It! That’s It right
enough!" said Sir Anthony addressing
Oxwlch. "You remember the talk about
the West Indies at the Inquest! That'i
It.”
Then I needn’t go to the British
Museum, sir?"
"No.”
It was a moment of unique pride for
the mother of the astonishing Horace,
who had made the British Museum un
necessary. Horace pulled peppermint
out of his pocket and ate Jt boldly. He
hart earned the right to do so.
Oxwlch bowed and was departing,
when the door re-opened, and another
visitor was shown In, still without any
of the Oxwlchlan precautions. It was
a veiled wuman. who raised her veil as
she entered. Oxwlch himself blanched.
"You!" Sir Anthony exclaimed, stag
gered.
And Mary Pollexfen nodded. She
then sank Into a chair and went very
pale.
Mrs. Appleby rose.
"Tony," said Mrs. Appleby, "this lady

"No, thanks," said Mary Pollexfen.
"I shall be all right In a few minutes."

With the seating capacity crowded to
the limit, the Ponce DeLeon Avenue
Baptist church waa Sunday morning
formally opened and dedicated.
About two years ago steps were
taken by a number of members of the
First, Second and Jackson Hill Bap
tist churches to arrange for the or
ganization of a Baptist church In the
northern section of the city, and this
resulted In the formation of what Is
now officially known as the Ponce De
Leon Avenue church. Ex-Governor
William J. Northen was elected chair
man of the board of deacons, and
George M. Brown waa appointed chair
man of the building committee. The
matter of securing a suitable house of
worship was Immediately taken up,
with the result that a lot on the corner
of Piedmont and Ponce DeLeon avenue
waa secured and the building com
menced.
In 1905 the Rev. Junius W. Millard
was called to the pastorate from Bal
timore, and under his able guidance the
church has shown almost unexampled
prosperity and growth. With a mem
bership of less than 200, there has been
raised the entire amount of the cost
of the building, about $60,000, so that
when the dedication exercises were
held Sunday morning there was no In
debtedness on the church or lot.
The formal exercises of dedication
were In charge of the pastor and board
of deacons, and the sermon of the
morning was preached by Dr. W. W.
Landrum, of the First Baptist church,
that bolng the congregation from which
a large part of the members had come.
In the evening the services were con
ducted by Rev. John E. White, of the
Second Baptist church, the next largest
number of members having come from
Dr. White’s congregation.
On Monday evening there will be a
service at which will be delivered u
number of congratulatory addresses
from the other pastors In the same
section of the city. During the remain
der of the week and next week sermons
and addresses will be delivered by
prominent Baptist divines from various
sections of the country.

JUDGE BUSSELL'S
PLANS FOR FUTURE
Report Has It That He Will
Help Build Rail- ■
roads.
As Judge R. B. Russell resigned the
Judgeship of the western circuit to make
the recent race fgr»governor, his friends
over the state aro naturally anxious
to know his plans for the future.
When asked by a friend for a state
ment of his plans, his prompt reply
was:
“Whatever I do, I shall not forget the
convictions for which I fought In my
race for governor, and I expect to do
what I can In educating the people
to an understanding of their Impor
tance and In having these convictions
enacted Into laws.”
One rumor says he will be a candi
date for a judgeship on the court of
appeals, but good authority stamps this
as unfounded.
Another rumor has it that he has
been offered a partnership In a promi
nent law Arm In the state, while still
another rumor goes the rounds that he
Is the recipient of an offer from
wealthy South Georgians to form a
partnership for building railroads, the
Idea being to build short lines or con
necting links between main lines in
that part of the state.
It Is understood that Judge Russell
has been guaranteed by friends In At
lanta a good sum to deliver that much-
talked-of lecture here on his expenses
in the recent gubernatorial campaign.
Judging from many favorable remarks,
he would have a large audience to hear
him. I
