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 ■withdrawing the magazine clip from Its slot in the butt and returning th< now harmless mechanism. "Now run along.

Peter asserted com placently. “For purposes of Intimitis tlon—which Is all you want of It grand! And It can't go off by aeelden and make you an unintentional mur derer." P Sybarite's !nw dropped nnd hi eyes o|M>ned. but after nn Instant h. nodded In entire agreement. "That's a head you hnve on yon shoulders, boy!" said he. "As for mini' I’ve a notion that it lias never real I' Jellied." He turned toward the tiedroom. bu paused. "Only—why not say what you wnnt Why these roundabout ways to you purpose? nave yon by any chant* been educated for the bar?" "That's the explanation." lauglu Peter. “I’m to be admitted to prn. tlce next year Mennwhlle clreumh cutlon's my specialty." "It is!" said P. Sybarite with convlt tlon. “Well—back In five minutes " CHAPTER XIV. Red November’* Work. OF all his weird adventures thi latest pleased P. Sybsirltt least. It's one thing to tuk. chances under cover of nigh when your heart is light, your pocket heavy and wine is buzzing wantolil' within your head, but another thin altogether to burglarize your enemy 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 catena case of suicide rather than oi THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. 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 ly. If hastily, ransacked. In search. P 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." He turned back to the hall door. Ils tenlng an instant, gently opened It. with his handkerchief wrapped uround the brass doorknob to guard against clews calculated to Involve hlmsjar. 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— "but what do you want me to"— (To Be Continued Tomorrow.) “I SAW IT iN THE HERALD” NEWS OF THE AUGUSTA CHURCHES Augusta Church News At a Glance Simultaneous Servlets Begin Today In All the Church**.

They will not stand in jealousy over agilnst each other. They are parts of one great army, and they will work In perfect ac cord and sympathy. The meetings have not had the ad vertising that should have been given them, yet the pastors have done a great amount of work of publicity hv calling attention to the campaign from the pul pits of the different churches, and the newspapers will likely give much space to the services.
