never uncertain at first 1t is only
after we have got involved in the

Hicks lost no time in adjusting the
application Of his talents to the new
situation lie began in a way that
astounded owen handing him a re-
ceipt in fun for all that the secre-
tarN owed him Owen was not too
surprised to be able TO promptly put
the paper in his pocket.
That's right" said Hicks. You
and | are going to be SO rich before
long that a matter of a thousand or
two wouldn't be worth talking about
between friends"
Owen turned a puzzled and worried
gaze upon his companion. Hicks OBJ
served him closely, read the misgiv-
ings in Owens mind, and, drawing
close, whispered something in the lat
ter's ear
But Owens drug saturated nerves
trembed at the thought. He pushed
Hicks aside and walked rapidly out OF
the room, calling over his shoulder:
Il won't have anything to do with
YOU. | don't want you to come near
me or speak TO me again. I'm done
with you"
when you want me YOU know
where to flnd me" was Hicks part
ing answer.
Hicks felt sure that he would not
have to wait very long before he
heard from the secretary who though
deprived Of his expected legacy was
now trustee Of half the immense es-
tate of the dead motor magnate. and

mainder Of her spinsterhood

ages Harry and Pauline, followed
by owen, entered and at that mo-
ment Marvin threw off his paralysis.
CHAPTER III.
On the floor lay the green crystal
vial which had fallen out Of the mum
my case. The odor which emanated
from 1t recalled Pauline's dreams OF
similar odors. A stone scarab had
also fallen out Of the case. Pauline,
in her dreams. had seen an old man,
with a long, thin beard, lay such an
object over her heart. to keep it
quiet" II seemed that there was
much in common between Pauline
and the mummified Egyptian Prin-
cess.
Old Marvin was growing weaker,
and seemed apprehensive. He called
in the secretary and told him of the
marrying Harry, was to have year
of Independence
During that year, Raymond" he
said, Il am going to put Pauline in
your care. You are older and more
prudent than either Polly or Harry,
and will see that she comes to no
harm. Take her anywhere she wants
to go-around the world, II she
likes-to do anything within reason.
Do you agree?"
They agreed. Then the old man
began feverishly to search in the
mummy case for something. He
found 1.-THE bracelet of linked
scarabs
'She told me TO give It to Polly" "
he said, in much excitement. Polly,
wear it-wear it promise"
Pauline promised, and put the an
cient bracelet on her wrist.
In a few hours old Marvin real
lied that he was dying-the excite
ment of these strange happenings
had FASTENED his end. He lived long
enough however, to sign a new will,
which DR.. Stevens wrote from his die
tation on a prescription blank. This
was the new will;
Il bequeath all my estate to my
son, Harry. the remainder to my
adopted daughter, Pauline to be held
in trust until her marriage by my
secretary, Raymond owen"
Having assured himself that the
new will was valid, the rasCally sec
retary's disappointment at being left
out Of 1t was somewhat lessened by
the thought that he could now shake
off the blackmailing Hicks.

The withdrawal OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church South from all
connection with Vanderbilt Univer-
sity and the removal Of the Meth
odist publishing house, mission and
Sunday school headquarters and
other correctional interests from
Nashville as is threatened because
of the university decision, adverse TO
the church control OF Vanderbilt, by
the Tennessee Supreme Court, may
make it probable for Atlanta and
Georgia to get these Institutions.
Bishop Gambler, one Of the rank
ing members Of the College Of Bish-
ops, as a member of the North Geor-
gia Methodist Conference and resi-
dent Of Atlanta, is in a position to
throw strong support to this city
should II make n bid for the big
Methodist headquarters.
Atlanta Is the largest city in popu-
lation and probably in Methodist
membership IN the territory where
the church is really strong, and geo
graphically Is nearer the center Of
membership than probably any other
large CITY
North Georgia Biggest Conference.
The North Georgia Conference, em-
bracing Atlanta, is the largest and
strongest Of the whole church.
The largest and one OF the Oldest
male colleges and the oldest female
school of the denomination are in
Georgia Emory at oxford 40 miles
east of Atlanta. and Wesleyan at
Macon.
The suggestion was made by At
lsnta Methodists Monday that EN-
ory College be enlarged into a uni
versity and the theological and other
departments to be withdrawn by the
church from Vanderbilt be trans
ferred there.
Emory already has a substantial
endowment, a well equipped plant
capable of accommodating probably
800 students, a fun academic depart
ment conferring the A. B. degree and
a theological department qualifying
graduates for important pastorates.
Bishop an Emory Man.
1t Is the nearest college to a city
OF prominence that the church now
owns and controls.
1t would no doubt be particularly
pleading to Bishop Gambler to see
Emory the great educational institu-
tion OF the Methodist Church. since
he Is a graduate OF that college and
fer ten years or longer was Its presi-
dent, leaving that office when he was
elected a bishop in 1898.
Asa G. Gambler Is one OF the trus
tees OF Emory and has contributed
largely to its support financially and
otherwise.

Inc received for her story in
The Cosmopolitan Magazine,
and the Egyptian mummy which her
multi-millionaire foster father added
to his collection of curiosities, formed
the first cause" which set the eX-
traordinary affair in motion-as you
will see
Fate had already rendered the GEN
eral conditions favorable. In acquir-
ing his millions, old Stanford Marvin.
president of the Marvin Motors Com
pany. had also acquired premature
age and a dangerous weakness of the
heart. Any sudden shock would be
likely to end his earthly career.
Further, the one man whom old
Marvin implicitly trusted Raymond
owen, his confidential seCretary-had
become an undiscovered rascal and
morphine fiend, deep in the tolls of an
| ingenious blaCkmailer named Mont
gomerv Hicks And both of them
knew how substantially the secretary
was remembered in his employer S
will.
Further still, young Harry Marvin
was so desperately in love with his
foster sister. Pauline. that he could
think of nothing but immediate mar
riage-and to this old Marvin had no
objection whatever. But Pauline had
very decided objection to being
married in this off hand fashion.
Pauline, you love Harry. don't
you? said the old man--it was on the
day that the mummy case was deliv-
cred and placed In the library of the
magnificent Marvin mansion on the
Hudson. and when the motor mag
mates weak heart was giving him
fresh and significant warnings
Yes father" the girl answered.
Perhaps some time | shall marry
Harry, but not for a year or two"
Pressed for particulars, then out
came Pauline's secret-the check for
he's first magazine story, her literary
aspirations, her desire to travel and
see life" first. 4 husband would be
out OF the picture" utterly.

They had been drowned in an acci-

and the man or millions had imme-
diately adopted the engaging little
orphan.
Unable to make any reasonable OBJ

or two Of Independence, old Marvin
tottered into the library and shut
himself in with the mummy. From

SUBURBAN DAYS
GETTING BETTER
WEEK BY WEEK

The second Suburban Day was
attended by even greater success than
the first, and merchants entering
into the fare-refunding plan declare
that it should be continued. One
merchant said that the people are
becoming interested in the plan, and
that they make an especial effort to
do their shopping in Perth Amboy on
Wednesday. One big dealer said
that Suburban Day had brought bust
ness to his store on Wednesday SUCH
as never before. He declared that
Wednesday and Thursday were al
ways the dullest days of the week
previous to the inauguration of
Suburban Day.
Albert Leon, when seen this morn
ing, was highly pleased with yester-
days business, resulting from Subur-
ban Day, and urged that the idea be
continued. He said: 1--WE had very
good results yesterday, even better
than the previous Suburban Day. We
had a number of customers from
around Spotswood and Jamesburg
who arrived early, coming on the
train that reaches this city about 9
O'Clock in the morning. We had the
biggest Wednesday in a long time"
Reports from the store of J. ii.
Foster show that dry goods and
women's furnishings store had an un-
usual trade yesterday, both from To-
cal patrons and out of town shop
pers. One customer came from as
far as Westfield.
Thomas West & Company report
better business than the first Su-
burban Day. They report that their
customers are taking an interest in
the plan and that a number make 1t
a point to shop on Suburban Day.
Reynolds Brothers report a lucra-
tive trade. much better than the
usual Wednesday. Mr.. Stern said
that practically all the customers yes
terday were from out OF town.
