SUNDAY. MARCH 29.
THE DA Y OF DA YS
- PROLOGUE.
"It breaks the speed limit to
smithereens."
That's a candid opinion about
this story. There may have
been swifter tales, but not re
cently. It’s an aeroplane of a
yarn, moving so fast that you
lose your breath while you fol
low it. But you don’t need any
breath, anyway, because you
forget about respiration with
your eyes on reading of this
kind.
Every man has his day of
days. Yours may have come
and you may be swimming in
the full tide of fortune. If so,
read how P. Sybarite found
his. If your own ship is still
in the offing, you will enjoy
learning how the little spunky
red headed bookkeeper won a
fortune and an heiress, foiled
all his enemies and had some
of the most amazing adven
tures ever penned—all in less
time than it takes the hour
hand to round the clock dial
twice.
(Continued from Yesterday)
Disappointment. however, lay In am
bush for him at his nefarious goal. Ev
idently the messenger bad been punc
tilious about his duty. Not even so
much as the tip of a corner of yellow
envelope peeped from under the door.
Reckless In exasperation, P. Sybarite
first wasted time educing a series of
short, sharp barks from the bell—a pe
cullarly Irritating noise, calculated (one
would think) to rouse the dead—then
tried the door and found It fnst: In the
end knelt and bent an ear to the key
hole, listening.
Not a sound; silence of the grave: the
bouse deathly still. He could hear bis
own heart drumming, but from Shay
non’s flat nothing.
Or. no! Was that the creak of a
board beneath a stealthy footstep?
If so. It wasn't repeated.
Again, could it be possible his ears
did actually detect a sound of human
respiration through the keyhole:
Could It be Shaynon. Just the other
side of that inch wide pressed steel
barrier, the flreproof door, cowering In
throes of some paralyzing fright, afraid
to answer the summons?
When at length P. Sybarite rose and
drew away it was with all stealth.
Once more at Peter Kenny's door, his
diffident fingers evoked from the bell
but a single chirp—a sound that would
by no means have gained him admis
sion had Peter not been sitting up In
bed reading to while away the ache of
his wound.
But it was ordered so. Peter was
quick to answer the door.
"Doc says I’m all right if blood
poisoning doesn’t set In. Whnt luck?”
"The worst. Where are my clothes?
I’ve got to change and run.”
Whereupon, while changing his cloth
ing. P. Sybarite delivered himself of
an abbreviated summary of what had
happened at the ball and after.
"But why,” he wound up peevishly,
"why didn't you tell me Bayard Sbay
non lived in the flat below you?”
"Didn't occur to me; and If you ask
me I don’t see why it should Interest
you now.”
"Because," said P. Sybarite quietly.
“I’m going down there and break in ns
soon as I’m dressed fit to go to Jail.”
“In the sacred name of Insanity’’—
“If he's out I’ll steal that telegram
and find out whether It has any bear
ing on the case. If it hasn’t I’-ll sift
every Inch of the room for a suspicion
of a leading clew.”
“But if he’s In’’—
“I’ll take my chances." said P. Syba
rite, with grim brevity.
“Unarmed?”
“Not if I know the nature of the
brute." He stood up. fully dressed
but for his shoes. "Now, my gun
please."
“Top drawer of the buffet there
How are you going—fire escape?”
“Where is It?” P. Sybarite asked ns
he possessed himself of tils weapon.
"Half a minute." Peter Kenny held
out his hand. "Let’s have a look at
that gun. will you?"
“What for?"
“One of those newfangled automath
pistols, isn’t it? I've never seen on<
before.”
"But—you’ve had this here"—
“I know, but I didn’t pay much nt
tention. thinking of other things’
/ "But you’re delaying me.”
"Mean to.” said Peter Kenny pur
posefully. And without giving P. Syb
arite the least hint of Ills intention
suddenly Imprisoned his wrist, grabbed
the weapon by the barrel and took it
to himself, with the greater ease since
the other didn't understand or attemp’
resistance.
"Whnt in blazes”- he inquired, puz
zled. watching Peter turn the weapon
over curiously in his hands. "I should
think’’-
“There!” Peter Interrupted placidly

apartments via the fire escape and It
broad daylight. For by now the llgh
was nothing less In the open.
Yet to his relief he found no mori
than UmpUl twilight In the crampei
and shadowed well down which zigzag
ged the tire escape.
The window was wide open, to forci
whose latch he had thoughtfully pro
vlded himself with a fruit knife from
Peter Kenny's buffet. Within was
gloom and stillness absolute. He step
ped noiselessly in his unshod feet down
through the window, cautiously parted
the drnperies nnd ndvnnced into dark
ness so thick that there might ns well
have been night outside Instead oi
glowing daybreak.
Then, with eyes becoming accustom
ed to the change, he made out shapes
and masses that told him he was In
the dining room.
Over across from the window stood
a door. Its oblong dimly luminous with
light softly shining down the walls of
a private hnll from a point some dis
tance to the left.
Rounding a dining table. P. Sybarlb
stole softly on and paused, listening
Just within the threshold.
From some uncertain quarter, pro
sumably the lighted room, he could
hear a sound, very slight, so slight thnl
it seemed guarded, but none the le*-
nnmistakable—the hiss of carbonate'
water squirting from a siphon into a
glass.
Ceasing, a short wnit followed am
then a faint “A-ah!" of satisfaction
with the thump of a glass set dowi
upon some hard surface.
And at once soft footfalls heenni
audible in the private hall, shufflin'
back toward the dining room.
Instinctively the little man drev
back, regretful now that he had yield
ed to Peter’s prejudices against loadef
pistols, retreating sideways along th
wall until he bad put the bulk of a
massive buffet between him and tin
door.
The footsteps came no farther than
the dining room, then died out foi
what seemed full two minutes, a pause
as Illegible to his understanding as
their manifest stealth.
Suddenly and more confldenl’.v tli
footfalls turned Into the dining room
and without a glance right ot left n
man strode directly to the open win
dow. There for an Instant he delayed
with an eye to the crack between the
curtains, then, reassured, thrust one
aside and stepped Into the embrasure,
there to linger with his head out of the
window. Intently reconnolterlng long
enough to enable P. Sybarite to make
an amazing discovery. The man was
not Bayard Sbnynou! It was Red No
vember.
Whnt P. Sybarite would have done
had he been armed Is problematical.
What he did was to remain moveless,
even ns hp was breathless and power
less but for bis naked hands either for
offense or defense, for that November
was armed was as unquestionable as
his mastery of the long barreled re
volver of blue steel, fnvored by gun
men of the underworld, which he held
at poise all the while he carefully sur
veyed his line of retreat.
At length, releasing the curtain, the
gang leader hopped lightly out upon
the grating and disappeared down the
iron staircase, wntched from above by
P. Sybarite.
Then the little man ran back through
the dining room and down the private
hall, abandoning every effort to avoid
a noise.
No need now for caution if his pre
monition wasn’t worthless—if the
vengeful spirit of Mrs. Inehe bad not
stopped short of embroiling son and
father, but hud gone on to the end.
What he saw from the threshold of
the lighted room was Bayard Shaynon
still In death upon the floor, one tem
ple shattered by a shot fired at close
range from a revolver that lay with
butt close to his right band, carefully
disposed with evident Intent to Indl

murder Out even a most casual
superficial lns|H»ctlnn should sufilce to
convince even one prone to precipitate
conclusions that Ilnynrd Shaynon had
never died by his own band.
The rooms had been most thorough

Sybarite didn't for nn instant doubt,
of evidence as to the relations between
Shayuon and Mrs. Inche calculated to
prove Incriminating at nn Impiest.
though the little man entertained even
loss doubt that lust for loot hail like
wise lieen a potent motive to Influence
November
He found proof enough of this In
the turned out |s>cket* of the murder
ed man: In the abstraction from the
bosom of his shirt of pearl studs which
P. Sybarite had noticed there within
the hour: In the abraded knuckles ol
a finger from which a conspicuous soli
talre diamond In mußslve antique set
ting was missing: In a pigskin bill fold
empty, ripped, turned Inside out and
thrown upou the Hour not far from
the corpse.
Not. however, with any notion of
concerning hitnself with the assassin's
apprehension and punishment did P
Sybarite waste that moment of hasty
survey. His eyes were only keen nnd
eager to descry the yellow Western
Union message, nnd when he had look
ed everywhere else Ills glance dropped
to his feet and found It there, a torn
and crumpled envelope, with its en
closure flattened out and apart from It.
This Inst he snntched up, but the en
velope he didn't touch, hnvtng been
quick to remark the print upon it of a
dirty thumb, the counterpart of which
decorated the fuce of the message as
well.
“And a hundred more of 'em proba
bly” F S.vl mrite surmised ns to the
number of linger marks left by No
vember. “enough to bang him ten
times over, which I hope nnd pray
they don't before I finish with him."

whether ns imputed principal or casual
wltaess after the fact.
The public hnll was empty, dim with
the light of a single electric bulb nnd
still as the chamber of death that lay
behind. Never a shadow moved more
silently or more swiftly than P. Syba
rite when lie had closed the door lip
the steps to Peter Kenny's rooms.
Briefly P. Sybarite told his story.
“Well, but the telegram?" Peter In
sisted. "Does it help—tell you any
thing? It's maddening—to think Ma
rian may be in the power of that blood
thirsty’’—
“Wait. I've had time only to run an
eye through this. Let me get the sense
of it.”
Peter peering over his shoulder, the
two conned the message in silence:
Bayard Bhaynon, Monastery Apartments,
West Forty-third, New York city;
Your wire received; all preparations
made Bend patient in charge ae Indi
cated at convenience. Legal formalities
can wait, as you suggest.
HAYNES' PRIVATE SANATORIUM.
“It’s as plain as the fuce on you, Pe
ter Kenny. Why, all along I’ve had an
Indefinite notion that something of the
sort was what they were brewing!
Don’t you see—’private sanatorium?’
What more proof do you need of a
plot to railroad Marian to a private in
stitution for the Insane? ’Legal for
malities can wait, as you suggest’—of
course! They hadn't had time lb cook
up the necessary papers, to suborn
medical certificates and purchase a
commitment paper of some corrupt
Judge.”
“The dogs!” Peter Kenny growled.
“But consider how they’ve been
served out— thunderbolts—Justice from
the very skies! All except one. And,"
said P. Sybarite solemnly, “God do so
to me and more also If he’s alive or
outside bars before this sun seta!”
“Who?"
“November!”
“What can you do to him?"
“To begin with, beat him to that
asylum. Fetch me the suburban tele
phone directory.”
"Telephone directory?”
“Yes!" P. Sybarite raved. “What
else? Where is It? And where are
your wits?”
“Why, here”—
Turning, Peter took the designated
volume from its hook beneath the
wall instrument at the very elbow of
P. Sybarite.
"I thought," he commented mildly,
“you had all your wlta about you and
could see it.”
“Don’t be Impudent," grumbled P.
Sybarite, rapidly thumbing the pages.
"Westchester,” he muttered, adding:
“Oscahana—H—Ha—H-a-d”—
"Are you dotty?"
"Look at that telegram. It's dated
from Oacahana. That's somewhere In
Westchester, if I’m not mistaken. Yes,
here we are: 11-a-y—Haynes’ Private
Sanatorium—number. Oscuhana one
nine. You call ’em."
“What shall I say?"
“Where’s that cartridge clip you took
away from me? Give it here. And
I want my money."
“But,” Peter protested in a daze,
handing over the clip and watching P.
Sybarite rummage In tbe buffet draw
er wherein he had cached bis winnings
before setting out for the Bizarre—

The Church Attendance, in Augusta,
Better Since the “Go-To-Church
Sunday” Movement
"Go-to-Chiirch" Sunday ban found
great, favor not only In Augusta, hut
In other cities 'here It has been tried
The effects In Augusta and other
cities seem to be of a more permanent
nature than were at. first thought
Mass meetings and advertising are
used to arouse interest in political
campaigns, and It is generally known
that, once you get an Indifferent pa
triot aroused he Is with you to the
end. This seems to he the case in
the campaign now spreading over the
entire country to enlist toe public In
church attendance. It Is not mis
stalng the fact to say that church at
tendance In Augusta has been better
since "00-to-Church” Hunday. The
reports from other cities give assur
ances of a greatly Increased attend
ance. The .lew.-lsh pastors report in
many cases that their Saturday con
gregations have been helped by the
movement Conservative estimates In
cities of the North and West are that
fifteen per cent of tbe non-churched

For the past several week* many cot
loge prayer meetlDßs have been held
In the homes of the member* and a
grout many people have already en

through them.
Mr. Jesse T. Williams, the singing

ly led a meeting in uiw ou.ucn ihrue

The Church-Going
Habit
Habits may tie either good or had.
Rial often good habits have had re*
suits. A man with temperate habits,
refraining from extremes and from
anything that Is likely to stir him from
an equilibrium, may ultimately become
superlatively static, good It Is true,
but nut good for much.
Another may have Intemperate hab
its. lie may drink too much, or dunce
too much or work too much. Some sen
sational episode, such hh a religious
conversion, a swift and sudden twist
Into a new path of activity, such as
social service, may transform the indi
vidual whose former habits were hud
Into a power for real good.
Now, too much church-going may
become ft good habit that resolves It
self Into a state of static nullity. And
thus It Is Just as harmful as too much
dancing. For both here lead not to
salvation but to self-gratlflcutlon and
Indulgence.
Compulaory church-going Is had.
Voluntary church-going counts. Men
need to be convinced, not so much
that they ought to go to church, as
that they need a great and healthful
stimulus for their lives and that the
only place to get It Is the church!

Is In l/mdon and she Is anxious to re

who made It a success. These cities,
it Is said, wi!| select Sundays nearest
to Decoration, Labor, Thanksgiving,
and Washington’s birthday. In ract,
it has been suggested by some of the
church leaders to make “Go-to-
Church” day an annual feature In
church life.
The movement to Increase church
attendance coming Just at this time
has coupled itself with the campaign
to Increase the efficiency of the
churches I’rotestant leaders of all
denomination* are now corresponding
with a view of selecting common Sun
days for both purposes. They wish
to Increase church attendance and
business efficiency In the manage
ment of the churches and missionary
societies.
Few suggestions have met with
such favor its the church efficiency
campaign. Many business men have
long felt that the churches should
adopt modern business methods, and
now that the movement Is on they
are giving themselves unstintedly to
the campaign.
