The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-10-15

Already the fight for the possession
of the fortune of the late 4. G. Spald-
ing, once a great baseball pitcher and
manager and later owner of sporting
goods stores, has begun. For many
years Mr.. Spalding was a devotee Of
the peculiar Philosophical cult of Mrs
Katherine Tingley in southern Cali
fornia. He and Lyman J. Gage, once
secretary of the treasury, were the
principal millionares who had taken up
Mrs. Tingley's ideas.
Alleging "undue influence on the
part of Mr.. Spalding's second wife,
Elizabeth Churchill Spalding, and
Mrs. Tingley, head of the Universal
Brotherhood and Theosophical society
at Point Iona, Calf, Keith Spalding,
his son, began legal action to break
the will of his father.
Mr.. Spalding died at Point Iona,
| Sept last, and it is alleged in the
| petition of the son that his father was
not in his right mind at the time of his
death and had not been for some time
previously.
The Spalding fortune is estimated at
100000. Mr.. Spalding's second mar
riage took place in 1900.
Young Spalding alleges that at the
time his father married Mrs. Elizabeth
Churchill she was the intimate friend
of Mrs. Katherine Tingley. He says
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-10-15

that the general belief was that Mrs.
Spalding was to be the successor Of
Mrs. Tingley at Point Iona.
1t is alleged that the second Mrs.
Spalding persuaded her husband TO
take up his. residence on the grounds OF
the Philosophical institution The OBJ
ieet, it il alleged, was to ALLEVIATE Mr.
Spaldng from his son.
Under the terms of the will Keith
Spalding was to receive 100000. He

able hiding place. His clothes were
soiled and damp, his hat gone. BY
a hairs breadth he had escaped the
clever trap laid for him. Hargreave
was alive, he had escaped; Bralne was
as certain of this fact as he was OF
his own breathing. He now knew
how to account for the pickering light
in the upper story of the warehouse.
His ancient enemy had been watch
ing him all the time. More than this.
Hargreave and the meddling reporter
were in collision. In the fare OF
lights at the end Of the gun-play he
had caught the profile of the reporter.
Here was a dangerous man, who must
be watched with the utmost care.
He, Braine, had been lured to COM
nit an overt act, and by the rarest
good luck had escaped with nothing
more serious than a cold chill and a
CALLING disappointment.
He crawled along the top OF the
pier, listening, sending his dark-accus-
toned glance hither and thither. The
sky in the east was growing paler aud
paler. In and out among the bales
of wool, bags of coffee and lemon
crates he slowly and cautiously
wormed his way. A Waterman pa.
trolled the office side Of the war
house, and Braine found 1t possible
to creep around the other way, thence
into the street. After that he straight.
ened up, sought a secondhand shop
and purchased a soft hat, which he
pulled down over his eyes
He had half a dozen rooms which
he always kept In readiness for such
adventures as this. He rented them
furnished in small hotels which never
asked questions Of their patrons. To
one OF these he went as fast as his
weary legs could carry him. He al
ways carried the key. Once in his
room he donned fresh wearing ap.
parel, linen. shoes, and shaved. Then
he proceeded downstairs, the second.
hand hat shading his eyes and thu

game Is played you shall be my wife"
He kissed the hands and strobe out
into the hall.
The pima gazed down at her small
white hands and smiled tenderly. (The
tigress has her tender momentsi) He
meant it!
She went into her dressing room and
for an hour or more worked over her
face and hair, till she was certain that
IL the captain OF the ship described her
to anyone else he could not fail TO give
"A fair description OF Florence Har-
greave.
But Norton reached the captain first.
Other reporters had besieged him, but
they had succeeded In gathering the
vaguest kind OF information. They had
no description Of Hargreave, while
Norton had. Before going down to the
boat, however, he had delyed into the
past OF the Princess Olga Perigoff. II
cost him a pocketful OF money, but the
end justified the means. The princess
had no past worth mentioning. By
piecing this and that together he be-
came assured that she had told the
simple truth regarding the relationship
to Florence's mother. A cablegram
had given him all the facts in her his
tory: there were no gaps or discrep
ancies. 1t read clear and frank. Trust
a Russian secret agent to know what
he was talking about.
So Norton's suspicions-and he had
entertained some--were completely
lulled to sleep. And he wouldn't have
doubted her at all except for the fact
that Braine had been with her when
he bad introduced Hargreave. Har-
greave had feared Braine; that much
the reporter had elected from the but
Ter. But there wasn't the slightest
evidence. Braine had been in New
York for nearly six years. The princess
had arrived in the city but a year gone.
And Braine was a member of several
fashionable clubs, never touched cards,
and seldom drank. He was an expert
chess player and a wonderful amateur
billiardist. Perhaps Jones, the taciturn
and inscrutable. had not told him all
he knew regarding his masters past.
Well, well; he had In his time un-
tangled worse snarls. The Office had
turned him loose, a free lance, to
handle the case as he saw fit, to turn
in the story when 1t was complete.
But what a story 1t was going to be
when he cleared 1t up! The more mys-
tifying it was, the greater the zest and
sport for him. Norton was like a
gambler who played for big stakes,
and only big stakes stirred his cray
ings.
