is SEEKING PROOF
Detroit Doctor Digging in Wye
River Bed for a Shake
= sperean Proof.
SHOW BACON REAL AUTHOR
Duke Of Beaufort Interested in the
Search and Early Discoveries
Are Encouraging.

General attention has once more been
called TO the ever green Bacon-Shake-
speare controversy by the news that
Dr.. OrvfiIe Owen Of Detroit has begun
extensive digging In the bed Of the riy-
ler Wye. at Chepstow, England.
DR. Owen is not digging for treas
ures- Besides himself and the Duke
OF Beaufort, whom he has succeeded
in interesting in his search, no one
knows exactly the nature of his mys-
terfous quest.
The doctor has declared, however.
that he hopes TO discover nothing less
than fndisputable proofs that Francis
Bacon is the real author of the Shake
spearean works.
II is asserted by some Baconians
that Francis Bacon was the son of
Queen Elizabeth and rightfui heir to
the throne and that he published
works which be dared not publish un-
der his own name, hiding them by the
means Of cipher in his plays, which
were issued under the name of Shake
speare.
1t Is this cipher which Dr. Owen
tourneyed from Detroit TO England to
ind. He has been laying his plans for
over q year and has now succeeded In
Obtaining leave to make extensive ex-
cavat1ons in the mud of the Wye, the
property Of the Duke Of Beaufort
DISCOVERIES ENHANCE INTEREST.
The work can be accomplished only
at low tide, and the strenuous efforts
OF q dozen diggers have already pro
duced results which the American doc
tor considers justify his search A
few logs of oak and piece of cement
have been raised from one OF the
numerous holes dug in the river bed.
One clew was given him By line in
the hrst folio edition 1929 of Shake
speare opposite his portrait, ''It was
for gentle Shakespeare cut" which
can be transformed into Seek, SIR,
for a true angle at Chepstow."
According to a London correspond
ent, DIR. Owen showed him the source
of his information, which enabled him
TO locate the precise spot of the hid
den manuscripts. 1t is contained in
a long scroll thirty-fve feet in length
and a yard wide. which at FIRST glance
appears nothing more than an sgglom-
Grafton Of printed letters and utterly
meaningless.

him at five O'Clock at the club.

What will you do, Rug?"
"Sleep," said the Westerner serene
ly; "Tm nearly as happy in London
as am in Philadelphia. It's four
o'clock now and can't sleep more
than four hours anyway. Let's have
real wild time, Dannie.'
Dan looked at him doubtfully, but
Ruggles' eyes were keen.
What kind of a time do you
mean?"
Let's ask the Gaiety girl for din
ner-for supper after the theater."
Lefty Lane? She wouldn't 60"
why not?"
"She is awfully delicate; it is all
she can do to keep her contracts"
He knows that, Ruggles thought.
Lets ask her and see.'' He went
over to the table and drew out the
paper. Come on and write anc ask
her to go out with us to supper"
"See here, Rug, what's this for?"
What's strange in it? She is from
our state, and if you don't hustle and
ask her 1 am going to ask her all
alone"
Dan was puzzled as he sat down to
the table, rejecting that it was per-
fectly possible that old Ruggles had
fallen prey to the charms of an
actress. She wouldn't come, of course
He wrote a formal invitation without
thinking very much of what he said
or how, folded and addressed his note.
What did you say?" Ruggles asked
eagerly.
why, that two boys from home
wanted to give her supper"
WELL" said Ruggles, "if the an
swer comes while you are at the club
I'll open it and give the orders. Think
she'll Gomez
81 do not,s responded Dan rather
brutally. shes got others to take
her out to supper, you bet your life"
well, there's none of them as rich
as you are, / reckon, DAN
And the boy turned on him vio-
lently.
See here, Josh, if you speak to me
again Of my money, when there's a
woman in the question"
He did not finish his threat, but
snatched up his coat and hat and
gloves and went out CT the door, slam
ming it after him.
Mr.. Ruggles' profound and happy
snore was cut short by the page boy,
who fetched in note, with the Savoy
stamping on the back. Ruggles opened
it not without emotion
Dear boy" it ran. 81 haven't yet
thanked you for the primroses; they
were perfectly sweet. There is not
one of them in any of my rooms, and
I'll tell you why tonight. 1 am crazy

fusal, and closed with, I'm coming,
but don't come after me at the Gaiety,
please. I'll meet you at the Carlton

boy? L. L."
The "other boy read the note with
much difficulty, fer it was badly writ
ten. He'll have to stop sending her
flowers and going every night to the
theater unless he wants a row with
the Duchess" he said dryly. And with
a certain interest in his role, Ruggles
rang for the head waiter, and with the
mans help ordered his first midnight
supper for an actress.

lives in three rooms with his whole

London had gone mad over Lefty
Lane, whose traits and contour were
the admiration of the world at large
and well-known even to the news
boys, and whose likeness was nearly
as familiar as that of the Madonnas
of old. Her face was oval and per-
fectly formed, with the reddest of
mouths-the most delicious and soft
est of mouths-the line of her brows
clear and straight, and her gray eyes
large and as innocent and appealing
as a child's; under their long lashes
they opened up like flowers. 1t was
said that no man could withstand their
appeal; that she had but to look to
make a man her slave; and as more
than once she turned to Dan, smiling
and gracious, Ruggles watched her,
mutely thinking of what he had heard
this day, for after her letter came
accepting their invitation he had
taken pains to find out the things he
wanted to know. 1t had not been
difficult. AS her face and form were
public, on every postcard and in
every photographers shop, so the &C
tress' reputation was the property of
the public
AS Ruggles repeated these things to
himself, he watched her beside the
son of his old friend. They were talk
ing-rather she was-and behind the
orchids and the ferns her voice was
sweet and enthrallilg. Ruggies tried
to appreciate his bill of fare while the
two appreciated each other. 1t was
strange to Dan to have her so near
and so approachable. His sights of
her off the stage had been SO slight
and fleeing. On the boards she had
seemed to be an unreal creation made
for the public alone. Her dress, cut
fearlessly low, displayed her lovely
young bosom-soft, bloomy, white as
a shetland her head and ears were
as delicate as the petals of white
rose. Low in the nape of her neck,
her golden hair lay lightly, and from
it's soft masses fragrance came to him.
Ruggles could hear her say: Roach
came to the house and told my people
that l had fortune in my voice. l
was living with my uncle and my
step-aunt and working in the store.
And that same day your father sent
down a check for five hundred dollars.
He said it was for the little girl with
the sweet voice. and it gives me lot
of pleasure to think that l began my
lessons on that money"
The son Of old Dan Blair said earn
estly: Pm darned glad you did-Tm
darned glad you did"
Lefty Lane nodded. $50 am l.
But" with some sharpness, Il don't
see why you speak that way. I've

voice and grace. Higgins knelt down
by Lefty Lanes side, quiet, capable,
going about the business of resuscitat-

singers bodice and shoes. eff you

At the door where he paused, Dan
saw the girl lifted up, saw her lean
on Higgins shoulder, and assured
then that she was not lifeless in good
truth, he went out to do as Higgins
had asked him. In quarter of an
hour the curtain rose and within half
an hour Dan, from his box, saw the
actress dance to the rajah her charm
ing polka to the strains of the Hun

CHAPTER XII.
Ruggles Gives a Dinner.

The bright tide of worldly London
the various restaurants and supper
rooms, and as we'll through the CORR
doris and halls of the Carlton. At one
of the small tables bearing a great ex-
pensive bunch of orchids and soft
ferns, Josh Ruggles, in a new evening
dress, sat waiting for his party. Dan
had dined with Lord Galorey, and the
two men had gone out together after
ward, and Ruggles had not seen the
boy to give him Lefty Lanes note.
Got it with you?" Blair asked when
he came in, and Ruggles responded
that he didn't carry love letters
around in his dress clothes.
They could tell by the interest in
the room when the actress was COM
ing, and both men rose as Lefty Lane
floated in at food tide with a crowd
of last arrivals.
She was not dressed this evening
with the intention that her dark SIM
plicity of attire should be conspicu-
Gus. The cloak which Dan took from
her shed the perfume of orris and re-
vealed the woman in blaze of spark
ling paillettes. She seemed made
out of sparkle, and her blond head,
from which bright ornament shook,
was the most brilliant thing about
her, though her dress from hem to
throat glistened with discs of gold like
moonshine on a starry sea. The ac-
tress' look of surprise when she saw
Ruggles Indicated that she had not
expected boy Of his age.
THE other boy?" she asked "Well,
this is the incest supper party ever:
And you are awfully good to invite
me-"
Ruggles patted his shirt front and
adjusted his cravat
MY idea,' he told her, "all the
blame on me, Miss Lane. Charge it
UP to me! Dan here had cold feet
from the first. He said you wouldn't
come"
She laughed denciously.
HE did? Hasn't much faith, mas
he?"
MISS Lane drew her long gloves on,
touched the orchids with her little
hands, on which the ever present
rings flashed, and went on talking to
Ruggles, to whom she seemed to want
to address her conversation.
I'm simply crazy over these flow.

joke
Miss Lane beamed on him. Al
though he was unconscious of it, she
was not fully at ease: he was not the
kind of man she had expected to see.
Accustomed to young fellows like the
boy and their mad devotion, accus-
toned to men with whom she could
be herself, the big, bluff, middle-aged
gentleman with his painfully correct
tie, his rumpled iron-gray hair, and his
difference to her, though an unusual
diversion, was little embarrassing.
"Oh, l know your dinner is ripping,
Mr.. Ruggles. I'm on a diet of milk
and eggs myself, and l expect your
order didn't take in those" But at his
fallen countenance she hurried to say
"Oh, I wouldn't have told you that if
/ hadn't been intending to break
through"
And with childlike anticipation she
clapped her hands and said: Were
going to have lots of fun Just think,
they don't know what that means here
in London They say heaps of sport,
yeu know" She initiated the accent
maliciously IT'S just we Americans
who know what lots of fun is, isn't
it?"
Near her Dan Blairs young eyes
were drinking in the spectacle of
delicate beauty beautifully gowned, of
soft skin, glorious hair, and he gazed
like a child at pantomime Under
his breath he exclaimed now, with eff
fusion, "You bet your life we are go
ing to have lots of fun!" And turning
to him, Miss Lane said:
six chocolate sodas running?"
ooh, DON'T" he begged, mot that
kind of jag"
She shook with laughter.
''Are you from Blairtown, Mr.. Rug
giles? 1 don't think l ever saw you
there"
And the Westerner returned: We'll,
from what Dan tells me, you're not
much of fixture yourself Miss Lane.
You were just about born and then
kidnapped
Her gay expression faded. And she
repeated his word, kidnapped? That's
a good word for it, Mr.. Ruggles."
She picked up between her fingers
a strand of the green fern, and looked
at it's delicate tracery as it lay on the
palm of her hand.
