CHAPTER FORTY-EiGHT.
(Continued)

I've looked over the old records
here. of that time, and find that
Benson held MOI a single unencumber-
ed piece of property; but within a
few weeks OF the transaction with
Switzerland he began 10 clear things
or and from that time on. the rec
ords are thick with transfers Of real
estate to him. venture TO say, that
but for that money he wouldn be
worth a hundred thousand dollars to-
day or course. I'm outside the
strictly legal aspects Of the case, but
want 10 know my ground, and you
and |, stephen are bound to consider
the matter with dash OF sentiment
thrown in. or course We can realize
just how great a temptation had pre-,
scented itself 10 him Your aunt had
no one, she trusted him absolutely;
your father was in the army. he was
not a man of any wide business ex-
perience and there was nothing TO
fear from him. Benson had con-
vinced your aunt that the land was
worthless, and that she had better get
out of II what she could. The game
played itself, and he had the strong
est motives for dishonesty. Such an
opportunity could not have come at
a time when he would have been more
likely 10 use il TO his own advantage
How do YOU know all this de-
manded Stephen. astonished al the
array of facts Wade had gathered
The old records at the courthouse,
what your aunt remembers. and then
my father learned his trade in the old
Benson shops, and knows good deal
about your grandfather's failure: and
I've picked up a good deal in talk
about town"
In spite OF himself conviction was
fastening itself upon stephen, just as
Wade intended 1t should. These facts
many OF them outside the cog
nizance OF the law, as he knew-Hen
had gathered solely for his benefit.
To Stephen the situation took on
tragic and awful possibilities. The
justice thst--his aunt demanded,
found an echo In his own heart. But
there was Benson. the man who had
done everything for him, who had
denied him nothing, who had been a
father 70 him. He would have liked
10 escape from the whole miserable
ldHBle, Dul tHtfe WAS HO ebcdpe IOT
him. and II was apparent to him that
he would either have TO sacrifice his
aunt or Benson.
He quilted his chair and fell to pac-
ing the floor and as he tramped 10
and fro. Wade's relentless logic, the
logic OF stubborn facts and figures,
poured In a steady stream into his
ears
Then Wade went into the purely
legal aspects OF the case. He told
Stephen just what he hoped 10 do.
and how he hoped to do 1t. Perhaps
this was not entirely discreet. but the
case he saw, with it's spectacular and
dramatic possibilities, was like wine
to him, it Ioosed his tongue and made
him reckless.
At last Stephen paused in his walk
to say:
But you don't ina CINE, do you. that
Mr.. Benson will remain inactive
Suppose he comes forward with facts
that offset your facts"
Wade shook his head
He can't do it, Steve We've run
him to earth, and he knows II. The
game played itself fov hiti. and now
It's playing itself for us

ATLANTA BIDS FOR
1874 ROADS MEET
Many Concessions Necessary to
Defeat Other Cities in Race
for Convention.

Details of the proposition Atlanta
will make to the executive committee
of the American Good Roads Con-
gress to induce the organization to
hold it's 1914 convention here will he
determined at a meeting of toe board
of directors of the Atlanta Convention
Bureau at 8 o'clock Thursday night at
the Piedmont Hotel.
The congress, being an organiza
ton without revenue, imposes certain
conditions upon cities which ask for
its conventions, and the city that
makes the most concessions usually
gets the meeting, In Detroit, where
the 1913 meeting was held, the con-
gress was given a meeting place free
of charge, a street was closed up and
turned over to the body for the dis
play of heavy road building ma
chimes, and the Detroit Chamber uf
Commerce purchased and donated the
convention badges.
In all probability Atlanta will offer
the free use of the Auditorium, va
cant lot for the machinery display and
either free badges of a days outing
at Stone Mountain or some other 10
cal point OF interest
Several cities are competing for the
next meeting, among them Denver,
New Orleans and Peoria.

SUIT BRINGS ECHO
OF OLD ELOPEMENT:
Husband Seeks Second Divorce
Decree From Wife Who Left
With His Brother.

An echo of domestic troubles which
created wide discussion in Atlanta
several years ago was heard in the
divorce court Thursday morning when
John Oscar Simpson appeared in q
plea for a second verdict for divorce
from his wife, who, it Is alleged.
eloped with his brother. The case
was scheduled to be heard Thursday
afternoon.
Mrs. Simpson. according to the
story, with Diah Simpson, a brother
of her husband, left home about five
years ago. One child, Elizabeth, was
taken by the mother but was later
recovered by Simpson, who now has
her custody.
A letter, alleged to have been writ =
ten by Mrs Simpson to her husband,
in which she states that she did no
wrong; that she would live solely for
her child, with the possibility of some
day returning to her husband when
both should be hungry" is in the
hands of w. M. Smith, attorney for
Simpson, and will probably be exhib-
tied in the court.

WEIGH YOUR SELF BEFORE USING

Weigh yourself before commenc-
ing to use Samose, the great flesh
forming food. The wonderful sale
on this preparation since first In
troduced In Atlanta and the remark
able results following its use have
made Jacobs Pharmacy such en-
thusiastic believers in the great val
ne of Samose that they give their
personal guarantee to refund the
money If Samose will not make thin
people fat and restore strength and
health to those who use it.
This is a strong guarantee, but
Jacobs Pharmacy have seen so
many of their customers who a few
weeks ago looked like walking skel-
etons become plump and well,
through the use OF Samose. that they
feel they can not say too much to
induce people to try 1t.
This marvellous flesh forming food
is assimilated as soon as II is taken
into the stomach, makes good rich
blood, tones up the weakened sys-
tenn, helps to assimilate the food
and makes the user plump, well and
rosy.
