may tug at and not move; but press
your foot on a certain stone, the whole
dial swings round on a concealed turn
table such as they have in garages,
you know. You will have no difficulty
in finding the right stone, because an
Inscription runs round the dial: Mas
vale tarde que nunca' and the stone
is directly opposite 'nunca. When you
have moved away your dial you will
see a gently inclining tunnel, high
enough for man to walk in without
STOPPING, wide enough for two and
much better ventilated than the New
York subway. That tunnel leads to a
secret door opening directly into the
cellar, so skillfully contrived that it
looks like an air-shaft. This door is
only a few feet from the shaft to the
patio. We have found a bolt and put
it on this entrance, but there wasn't
any before; nor did any one in the
house know of the secret passage"
The colonel went on to say that on
questioning the architect he averred
that he had never mentioned the
secret passage to his lInowledge-eX.
cept that very recently, only a few
days before, at a dinner, he had barely
alluded to it.; and one of the gentle
men present, an easterner, had asked
him where he got a man to make such
a contrivance-it must take skill. He
had mentioned the name of the work
man. The colonel had hunted up the
artisan mentioned, only to find that
he had left town to take job some
where; no one seemed to know where.
OF course he had inquired of every
body. The name of the easterner was
Atkins.
Atkins" cried Warnebold, at this
turn of the narrative, "Keatcham' S
secretary? Why, he's the boldest and
slyest scoundrel in the United States!
He started leak in Keatcham's office
that made him a couple of hundred
thousands and lost us a million and
might have lost us more If Mercer
hadn't got on to him. Keatcham
wouldn't believe he had been done to
the extent he was at first-you know
/ the old man hates to own to any ones
getting the better of him; it's the one
streak of vanity I've ever been able to
discover in him. Otherwise, he's cold
and keen as a razor on a frosty morn
ing He was convinced enough, how
ever, to discharge Atkins; the next
news had, he was trying to send him
to the pen. Gave us instructions how
to get the evidence. No allusion to his
past confidence in the fellow, simply
the orders-as if we knew all the
preliminaries. Wonderful man, Mr..
Keatcham. Col. Winter"
Very" agreed the colonel, dryly.
BY this time the warrior and the
man of finance were on easy terms.
Warnebold remained three days. Be
fore he left the patient had been pro
nounced out of danger and had re-
vived enough to give some succinct
business directions. Mercer had been
sent to look out for the cement deal;
and Keatcham appeared a little re-
lieved and brighter when he was told
that Mercer was on his way.
"He will put it through if it can be
put" he said said weakly to Warne-

Solicitor General Hartrdge and Gov
ernor Smith on Savannah Situation.
Savannah, Ga, Jan. 9.-Solicitor- g.
General Walker c. Hartridge went last
night to Atlanta for the purpose of
sconferring with Governor Smith on the
way Savannah enforces the Georpia
prohibition lay. It is freely predict
ed by many Sayannahians that unless
the governor can he assured that re-
ports Of the omen violation Of the law
are not wholly true that he will take
drastic measures to see that it is en-
forced.
8Ir. Hartridge has been in Office but
a week Before leaving for Atlanta he
refused TO make any statement. either
OF the purpose Of his visit or what he
would say should he confer with Gov
ernor Smith. or what the nature of his
report to the governor would be. I'm
doubtedly the accusations made
against the city by other sections of
the state are having the effect of
rousing Savannah. The whole city is
waiting for some official announcement
from the capital.
