an air of simplicity. "Why don't you
go after the White Rose?"
This observation will by Itself show
how far this woman's Invincible curi
osity and talent for arranging the af
fairs of other people had carried her
In the space of a few hours. She and
Mary Pollexfen and Sir Anthony sat
together In Sir Anthony's drawing room
after the lift boy was amusing him
self at varying altitudes of the Dev
onshire mansion. Much had passed
since the arrival of the two ladles in
the morning. Mrs. Appleby, not at all
displeased to become acquainted with
a stage celebrity of the first order,
had behaved to Mary Pollexfen with
marked tact. She had moreover been
considerably Impressed by Mary’s
clothes and Mary's manner. And
Mary, on the other hand, was really
thankful to have a Mrs. Appleby pres
ent at the Interview with the baronet
—that baronet whom she had so often
and so coldly rebuffed, but of whom
she despised nothing but his Intelli
gence.
Mary’s narrative of the events of the
previous day, given to Sir Anthony
and Mrs. Appleby in conclave (Mrs.
Appleby had no intention of being kept
out of anything), had stimulated the
baronet's sluggish imagination. He had
passed through the stages of amaze
ment, admiration, envy, and he was
now at the stage of emulation. The
wonderful romantic things thdt Mary
Pollexfen and Philip Masters had done
begot in him a desire to do things
equally wonderful himself. That Mary
had lived for many days In the Corner
house as a man startled him; it star
tled him indeed more than It startled
hls sister, who, like most women of
Irreproachable correctness, was Inca
pable, really, of being shocked; Mrs.
Appleby had not pretended even to be
startled.
Philip’s rash disappearance into
Poplar, and his mysterious capture,
and the strange message, each contrib
uted to throw new light on existence
for Tony. He would have thought such
occurrences Impossible had he merely
read of them; but now, with the bent
platter on hls mantelpiece, he went to
the other extreme and thought them
entirely natural and began to fancy
that life was made up of similar epi
sodes. Despite protests, he had rushed
off with Oxwlch In the motor car to
Poplar before lunch. But he had dis
covered naught, the widow Upottery
having, of course, contrived not to
leave behind her tracks crude enough
to be perceived by the Sir Anthony
of this world. He had also run to earth
the owner of the White Rose, who had
nothing to tell him, save that the yacht
had been chartered by an Individual
named Smythe, whose address was the
general postoffice. He had further
communicated with the police, and the
police had received him coldly and In
credulously, promising without enthu
siasm to examine hls report in due
course. The police being aware that
Philip had turned journalist and not
having gathered much comfort from
hls article In The Morning Courier,
scarcely disposed to put themselves
about because he had vanished, or, as
they hinted, pretended to vanish.
"Go after him, eh?" said Sir An
thony, jumping up from the sofa.
"That's an Idea. Something’s certain
ly got to bo done. What’s the name ot
the lino that runs to the West Indies.
Royal Mail, Isn’t 4t? I’ll ring for
tea, Horace having made friends with
Oxwlch." And he rang. Oxwlch en
tered Instantly, the man was never far
from the door during a crisis. "Ox
wlch, telephone to the Royal Mall line
offices and find out when the next
steamer goes to the West Indies."
have already found out, Sir An
thony," replied Oxwlch. "There Is a
complete list of steamship sailings
clown stairs. Next Saturday week,
sir. A boat left Southampton only the
day before yesterday."
"Thank you.”
Oxwlch withdrew, having added an
other atom to the coral reef of hls
reputation.
"That's nearly a fortnight," said Sir
Anthony, dashed.
"But you can hire a yacht, dear,"
said Mrs. Appleby, imperturbably
smoothing out the flounces of her strik
ing dress.
"Can I?"
"Why, of course, dearest! And In a
yacht you can go where you like.”
"Uah- dn VA1! hlr*» thfi VAPhtS ?”
How do you hire tho yachts?" Tony
demanded, hls imagination getting a
new fillip. . , .
•'1—I don't know,” said Mrs. Appleby.
You Just hire them. I expect It's
quite simple—like hiring n salmon riv
er, or a moor or a special train. I dare
say vou could hire a nice large yacht,
One that nobody would be sea-sick on.
I don't mean one of those sailing things.
I mean a steam yacht, with electric
light, and a cow on board."
Sir Anthony sank once more.
"Oxwlch," he said, "get me Kellys
Directory from somewhere. I want the
names nnd addresses of some yacht
brokers.”
Yes, sir,” Oxwlch agreed, nnd then
after n majestic pause, "Perhaps one
of the yacht newspapers might be more
useful, sir."
•Just so, exactly.” __
That man of yours Is a pearl, Mrs.
Appleby observed.
"He understands me, Tony agreed
nonchalantly.

"It Is precisely what you need, dear
est," said Mrs. Appleby, "If only It
has a pretty name.”
"Miss Pollexfen," Tony bdrst out
suddenly, dropping the paper, "you do
not say anything."
"I—i—what am I to say?” Mary
murmured.
"You see," Mrs. Appleby added
quickly In a manner-of-fact tone, un
able any longer to keep her cards off
the table, "Horace and I. could go with
you, to keep you company. The voyage
would be such a good thing for Horace.
And besides hls health. It would be such
an education for him, wouldn’t It?*'
"Oh!" exclaimed Tony, who found
himself still receiving shocks.
And Mrs. Appleby calmly continued:
"Miss Pollexfen might also go, as our
guest. I am sure you must be very
solicitous, clear Miss Pollexfen, about
the fate of this brave young man who
Is running such risks on your behalf."
Mrs. Appleby's spirit of enterprise
was breath-taking. It brought a blush
to Mary’s cheek, but no words to
Mary’s tongue.
"And there’s another point*” pro
ceeded Mrs. Appleby. "If Miss Pollex
fen stays In England, her whereabouts
are certain to become known, and she
would be worried to death by detectives
and things."
"Miss Pollexfen," Tony asked her,
what do you say?"
"It Is extremely kind of you,” Mary
managed to reply. "I don't know what
to"—
Tony nerved himself. "It depends
you," he said.
"If It depends on me," she answered
In a new firm volet, with a decisive
gesture, "I will go."
Tony rang the bell.
"Oxwlch, put me on to 6969 Gerrard.
When he came back from telephon
ing, Mary Pollexfen was alone In the
drawing room, Mrs. Appleby having
departed to convey delicious posstbill
ties tq her offspring.
"I’m going down to see Boyds at
once," said Tony, flushed with hls own
Importance. The potentialities of a
fortune of 400,000 pounds had been
more fully than ever revealed to the
young man that afternoon. A steam
yacht. It seemed strange to him that
the sublime notion of a steam yacht
had never before crossed hls mind. He
was drunk with the scheme.
Mary stood up. "You are very, very
good," she replied, with deep feeling.
And suddenly the atmosphere changed
for Tony. The fact that Philip Mas
ters was In actual veritable danger be
came somehow Intensely real to him.
"Not at all. You know Phil Is a
great pal of mine."
And supposing you go—we go, what
shall you do when you get out there,
to Grenada?"
"That will depend. We may have to
consult the local police."
"I hope nothing terrible will happen,"
Mary breathed.
"Why do-you Imagine such things?"
"Because I have been thinking there
may be something In that hidden treas
ure story of the negro Coco’s after all.
And if money is concerned—and my
uncle—’’
"Do you know," cried Tony, "that’s
just what I’ve been, thinking—I mean
about the treasure. As for risks. How
can there be any risk? Why Phil
should be cdVrled off to a place like
Grenada, I can’t Imagine. But we’ll
find him. I tell you what—It wouldn't
be a bad plan to get hold of Marse Co
co and hear him talk, eh? He might
be useful."
"I should like to very much," Mary
answered. "He was my poor fathM-’s
friend, the only friend he had, I think."
The voice almost broke.
And Tony, as he called briskly for
hls hat and overcoat, had a dim vague
sense of the grim quality of the whole
adventure. And he perceived Mary as
a tragic and remote figure, far above,
not for him, In a sphere of emotions ut
terly different from hls. Such slm
pie, vain, good-natured men have at
times such glimpses.
there was not a single decent restau
rant—using the word ’’decent” in Phil
ip’s sense—nor a single building that
met hls eye in a friendly manner.
Then the mean JJgljts of Stepney
Station appeared, and Philip was ob
liged to descend again unprotected in
the hostile country. He was geograph
ically so lost-that he knew not east
from west. He had heard of Stepney
chiefly as a district owning a bishop;
he might have been in Strasburg, Staf-
fa or Stornaway.
"How do I go on from here?" he
asked the cabman respectfully.
And the cabman looked down on hint
from hls box. "Any of these trams,"
said the cabman. "I don't know' as
they goes to Cotton street, but they
goes to Poplar."
"Is it much farther?”
"I should say It’s a tidy step."
He boarded a tram which he ought
to have boarded at Aldgate.
The conductor actually knew Cotton
street, and Philip, enheartened, re
garded him as a man and a brother.
The tram was a leisurely apparatus.
The entire population of Stepney and
Poplar seemed to get In and out of It
about three times. It passed churches
and manufactories. It crossed water
by means of bridges, and Philip saw
the masts of ships dimly against the
night sky. He also saw now and then,
when the train stopped, posters on the
walls In languages of which he could
not make out a single character. Then
the tram drew up at another large rail
way station and a couple of hundred
yards farther on the conductor tipped
him a familiar wink.
"'Ere y'are,” said the conductor.
And Philip had to descend, had to
leave hls sole acquaintance in that des
olate region.

CHAPTER XX.
Travels in London.
After quitting Mary Pollexfen In
Kingsway, Philip Masters did not reach
Poplar on the Sunday evening without
a considerable amount of difficulty.
Like many Londoners, he knew not
hls London. He had probably never in
his life been further east than Aldgate;
It Is doubtful If he ever knew the
"Three Nuns." He hailed a hansom
Just north of St. Clement, Dane's, and
remarked airily to the cabman:
"Cotton street, Poplar, No. 7."
The No. 7 was delicious.
"Not me!" said the cabman.
"What’s It worth?’’ Philip Inquired,
trying to look generous.
"It ain’t worth anything," the cab
man replied. "I'm not going to Pop
lar tonight, guv-nor. I’ll drive you to
Aldgate, if you like."
Philip accepted. At Aldgate, w’here
he already felt himself In a foreign
land, or rather In a hostile country
strongly held by an enemy, where he
didn’t know even the exterior of the
churches, where the streets were full
of trams Instead of crawling cabs, It
was with a certain sinking of the heart
that he saw hls own vehicle vanish. He
ought to have been content with a I
tram, but he lacked skill In the lore of
*ondon travel, nnd loitered about for
| another hansom. Fortune favored
' him.
! "Cotton street, Poplar,” he said to the
driver, wisely leaving out the No. 7 on
this occasion.
And to hls surprise and disgust the
1 cabman replied. "Mot me, guv-nor."
"It Isn't far. Is it?" Philip questlon-
•*tl, somewhat wistfully.
It’s further than I'm going this
I blessed night," said the cabman. ’Til
• take you to Ptepney Station If Syou
j like. That’s Just In the radius,"
odor of the tram remained with him
Just as he had heard of Stepney, so
he had heard of Poplar, and he was In
It. Hls own London seemed to be in
another hemisphere. Close by was
curious church, and Its clock struck 12
just as Philip w*as hesitating at the
corner of East India Dock road and
Cotton street.
He remembered that Glralda, too,
had been down there, all alone, and he
whistled In order to create In himself
a feeling of manliness. In less than a
minute he stood In front of No. 7.
far as he could judge In the obscurity
of the badly lit street It was a house
unutterably mean and melancholy. A
light was burning In tho hall, as a light
had been burning In the hall of the
Corner House on Just such an evening.
He wont up the two steps and knocked
loud nnd bold.
A rather short, firmly built man
opened the door.
"I want to see Mrs. Upottery,” Phil
ip said at once. He had no intention
of raising the point whether or not Mrs.
Upottery lived there, or had lived
there.
The man seemed to hesitate.
"Mrs. Upottery?” he murmured in a
thick, heavy voice.
"Yes, Mrs. Upottery."
We don’t want any friends of Mrs.
Upottery here," said the man In a tone
of finality. "A nice time of .night to
come waking people up."
"I'm not a friend of Mrs. Upottery,
mate," Philip protested. "But I've got
to speak s to her."
"Wejl, she ain't In."
"When will she be In."
"She w’on’t be In. At least I hope
not. She turned this house upside
down. She’s made forty times more
mess than she's worth. And she ain’t
paid her bill properly. If my mother
had her here she r d claw her blooming
eyes out for her. that’s what she’d do.
And quick.”
The man was furious against Mrs.
Upottery. He made ns If to close the
door, but Philip put hls foot In It, at
the same time holding out half a crown,
which glinted in the feeble light.
"See here, mate,” said he persua
sively, "If that’s any use to you It's
yours. I'd like to have a bit of a chat
with you. I shan't keep you tw'o mln-
Wlthout waiting for an Invitation, Phil
lp slipped Inside the house. A candle
burned crookedly in a pewter stick on
a deal table. The sides of the passage
were shiny with grease, and the floor
was of no special color, or substance.
Philip’s eyes Interrogated the man’s.
Ho was shabbily dressed, but not ex
tremely so. He wore a cap, and a
leather belt showed under hls waist
coat. Hls face was pale. At first he
gave the Impression of being young,
but this Impression passed; he might
have been almost any age.
"What do you want to know?" he
asked gruffly.
"You say Mrs. Upottery’s been kick
ing up a dust here. What about?"
"How do I know what about? I only
know os she’s going as stewardess, or
something, on a yacht. But If you ask
me, she’s a queer lot. What surprises
me is that the police ain’t been after
her. If she ain’t a Jailbird, then I
never seen one. And I seen a few, too."
"A yacht?"
"Yes. I did hear she was bound for
the West Indies—Grenada—Grand
Etang—-damned If I can reciect tho
names. But the old woman’s been Jab
bering about Grand Etang ever since
she came in tonight."
Philip was Immensely Interested.
"Where Is she now ?"
"She’s gone down to the yacht with
her-bundle."
Where’s the yacht?”
She’s lying off Green’s wharf, If she
hasn’t sailed."
Philip thought a moment.
"Far from here?" he questioned.
"No, not that far."
"If you'll come out and take me there
at once," said Philip, feeling in hf~
pocket, "there’s five shillings for you
"lil do It," said the man promptly.
"Come on.”
They went outside Instantly and the
man banged the door. He led the way
down Cotton street, Philip following.
They crossed Poplar High street, and
soon Philip found himself floundering
over lines of railway amid little groups
of loaded wagons with a red signal here
and there In the distance. The man
walked fast and never looked behind.
The route lay over uneven ground; all

was strange, exotic and full of sinister
romance. Then some sheds loomed up
and a warehouse. The man passed
along an entry lighted by an oil lainjj
"Look out,” he said at last.
Philip saw lights. He stood on ;l
wharf. The vast and heaving Thames
lay astontshlngly before him with the
shipping of the world on its broad
bosom. Two steamers were alongside,
and Into one of them a ateam crane,
with an Incredible thunderous rattle
and screech, was pouring bulky pack
ages. Men cried to one another be
tween the ship and wharf. Philips
guide walked up the wharf to a long,
sloping gangway that gave access to
the other steamer. Philip observed the
name "White Rose" on a dirty gray
life buoy. A thin smoke was oozing
from the funnel. A solitary lantern
showed from the mast. The guide
crossed the gangplank, Philip at his
heels. And as Philip gained the deck
of the mysterious steamer he paused a
moment to take In the scene, with its
wide water, Its tarry, oily odor of ships,
Its gliding, spectral lights, and Its wet id
sounds. The very air smelt of the
sea. This was London. This was the
city of Piccadilly Circus, and the Al
cazar, and the Devonshire Mansion.

cating a companion ladder, but he re
membered nothing else for quite a long
time.

ENROLLMENT INCREASES
IN FACTORY DISTRICT.
8peclni to The Georgian.
Augusta, Ga., Sept. 18.—The total en
rollment of the white pupils In the city
schools yesterday was 2,401, which Is
about 40 more than It was last year.
The Increase will be greater this year,
however, than it was lost year, as there
ore a number of pupils to enroll before
the end of the week. It la strange to
note that both of the schools in the
upper wards have liberal Increases,
while the schools in the lower wards
have decreased. The two upper wards
have a large number of factory chil
dren In them, and It may be possible
that the factory people have been read
ing up on the "child labor laws," and
especially on the "compulsory educa
tional" clause.
