fniiirsfiay, f WASHINGTON i#tl. By Archibald Henderson It is a curious fact that none of, Washington's many biographers has con sidered in more than a few pages the ex tended trip Washington, made through the Southern states in 1791. : In fact, two of the best known. Woodrow Wil son and Henry Cabot. Lodge, hare dis missed it without a word- Tet Wash ington mnde such a trip, and judging from his Journal, he considered it of great importance. The present book—the material for wijich wait obtained, after years of re search, from rare and inaeeesible let ters, documents, speeches, etc., and from Washington's Journal—is the detailed l I made it myself " You acknowledge, modestly, a compliment on your cooking, but of course you feel proud.

Washington’s purpose in making this! trip was twofold: he wanted to see with • his own eyes the economic condition of 1 the Southern states, and to estimate for himself the prosperity and the loyal ty of their citizem.

HiC * BEGIN HERE TODAY Sir Charles Abingdon engages Paul Harley, criminal Investigator, to find out why Sir Charles is kept under surveillance by persons un known to him. Harley dines at the Abingdon home. Sir Charles falls from his chair in a dying condition. Abingdon's last words are VXicol Brlnn" and “Fire-Tongue.” Dr. Me- Murdoch pronounces death due to heart-failure. Harley claims that Str’Charles was poisoned and calls oh Nlcol Brlnn to ask him the mean ing of "Fire-Tongue." Brlnn re fuses to tell the secret. Phil Abingdon, daughter of Sir Charles, makes friends with Harley. Harley is disturbed when he learns that Phil is friendly with a hand some and wealthy Oriental named Ormus Khan. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Phil Abingdon repeated the weary sigh and turned her bead aside, glancing down to where with one small shoe she was restlessly tap ping the floor of the cab. They were both silent for some moments. “Don’t you trust me?” she asked, suddenly. “Or don’t you think I am clever enough to share your confi dence?” “I both trust you and respect your Intelligence,” he answered, quietly. “If I withhold anything from you. • I am prompted by very different motive from the one you suggest.” „ She did not answer him, but stared abstractedly out of the cab window; and Harley did not break this silence, much as he would have liked to dp so. He was mentally reviewing his labors of the preceding day when. In the character of a Colonial visitor with much time on his hands, he had haunted the Savoy for hours In the hope of obtaining a glimpse of Ormuz Khan. His vigil had been fruitless. “Here we are,” said Phil Abing don.’ She alighted, and Harley. dis missed the cabman and followed the girl into Doctor McMurdoch’s house. Here he made the acquaintance of Mrs. McMurdoch, who, as experi ence had taught him to anticipate, was as plump and merry and viva cious as her husband was lean, gloomy and taciturn. “We were waiting for you, dear,” she said when the formality of pre senting Harley was over. “Are you quite sure that you want to go?” Phil Abingdon nodded pathetically. She had raised her veil, and Harley could see that her eyes wdre full of tears. “I should like to see the flowers, * She was staying. at the McMur doch’s house, and as the object at present in view was that of a visit to her old home, from which' the funeral of Sir Charles Abingdon wag to take place on the morrow, Harlefl became suddenly conscious of th® fact that his presence was inoppor tune. But Phil Abingdon had her own views on the matter. She steppqd up beside him and linked her arm in his. As a result he found himself a few minutes later entering the hall of the late Sir Charles' house. The first thing that had struck Harley on entering the house had been an overpowering perfume of hyacinths. Now he saw whence it arose; for, conspicuous amid the wreaths and crosses, was an enor mous device formed of hyacinths. Its proportions dwarfted those of all the others. "It’s wonderful," said the girl, moving forward and drawing Harley along with her. She glanced from the card up to his face, which was set in a rather grim expression. 1 "Ormuz Khan has been so good,” she said. “He sent his secretary to see if -he could be of any assistance yesterday, but I certainly had not expected this." Presently the party returned to the neighboring house of the physl- hart struggled so arduously to help create, and as the emblem of the loyalty they •owed it. The contents of this book show how successfully lie achieved his purpose. The shrewd, wise comments he made in letters aud in his Journal give a elear cut picture of the South as it was at the end. of the century; and the let ters, speeches, and state proclamations of bis southern scats indicate how com pletely the first Executive captured the loyalty and fired the imagination of the people. ■Washington started from Mount Ver non April 7th, in his own splendid coach, with postilions, outriders, aud a baggage train, and after making his first stop at Fredericksburg, visited Richmond ami Petersburg. Virginia, and then passed into North Carolina, traveling .by Halifax. Tarborougli. Greenville, New jßern, Trenton, and Wilmington. He then proceeded to Georgetown and Charleston, South Carolina, Savannah : and August in Georgia, and returned by way of Columbia, S. C., Salisbury, nnd Salem, N. C. Views of these cities, as well as portraits of many of the people Washington met, are included in the sixty illustrations, many of these ex ceedingly rare, many not hitherto repro duced. which the book contains. / I The narrative as a whole is of great iirteres* and importance, both as a new and hitherto unrecorded chapter in Washington’s life, and as a faithful, viv id picture of the South in post-Revolu tionar.v days. f Washington’s Southern Tour is is sued In a single royal octavo volume of about .185 pages, bound in gray paner stamped in gold.

Almost befqre they were seated in the doctor's drawing room he Voiced his disapproval. ‘'Phil,” he said, ignoring a silent appeal from his wife, "this is, mayhap, no time to speak of the matter, but I'm no: glad to see the hyacinths.", • Mrs. McMurdoch s glance became positively bese chlng. but the physi cian ignored It. "As vour father's oldest friend.” he continued. “1 feel called upon to remark that It Isn't usual for strangers to thrust their attentions upon a bereuved family.” "Oh," said Phil Abingdon vrlth animation, “do I understand ihst this Is also your opinion, Mr. Ilor ley?” "As a, man of the world." declared Doctor McMurdoch. gloomily, "it cannot fail to be.” Tears began to trickle down Phil Abingdon’s cheeks. "Oh. my dear, my dear!” cr'ed little Mrs. McMurdoch, running to her side. But the girl sprang up. escaping from the encircling arm of the moth erly old lady. She shook her head disdainfully, as If to banish tears and weakness, and glanced rapidly around from face to face. "I think THE CALLER PROVED I TO BE INSPECTOR WESSEX. you are all perfectly cruel and hor rible,” she said in a choking voice, and ran out. CHAPTER IX Two Reports ON returning to fils "otnee* Paul Karley found awaiting him the report of the man to whom he had entrusted the study of the movements of Nicol Brlnn. (Miss Smith, the typist, had gone, for It was after six o’clock, and Innes alone was on duty. He came In as Harley, placing his hat and cane upon the big writing table, sat down to study the report. "Inspector Wessex rang up, Mr, Harley, about an hour ago. He said he would be at the Yard until six.” “Has he obtained any Informa tion?” asked Paul Harley, wearily, glancing at his little table clock. "He said he had had Insufficient time to do much in the matter, but that there were one or two outstand ing facts which might interest you." “Ah!” murmured Harley. He took up the telephone. “City 400,” he said. . . . “Is that the Commis sioner’s Office, New Scotland Yard? . . . Paul Harley speaking. Would you please inquire if Detective In spector Wessex has gone?” •While awaiting a reply he looked up at Innes. “Is there anything else?” he asked. “Only the letters, Mr. Harley.” “Leave the letters, then; I will see to them. You need not wait.” A moment later, as his secretary bade i him good-night and went out of tho office: An act of the time of Henry Vll agninst unlawful games, forbade the working-classes playing cards except at Christmas.

Resting his chin to his hands, he s began to read from vNj Typewritten H pages before him. His assistant’s re- f=-. port was conceived as follows: Re Mr. N’icol Brinn of Raleigh I§ House. Piccadilly. \V. I. Mr. Nicol Brinn Is an American ?§ citizen, born at Cincinnati, Ohio, | February 15, 1884. He is the son of =i John Nicolas Brinn of the same city. g founder of the firm of J. Nicolas f| Brinn, Incorporated, later reconstl- §g tuted under the style of Brian's Uni- jfj versai Electric ' Supply Corporation. Nicol Brinn Is a graduate of Har- s vard. He has traveled extensively g in nearly all parts of the world and gj has access to the best society of Eu- g rope and America, lie has a reputa- l| tlrm for eccentricity, has won numer- -g ous sporting events as a gentleman p| rider; was the first airman to fly 3 over the Rockies; took part in the £ Uruguay rebellion of 1904. and held g the rank of lieutenant colonel of field -3 artillery with the American forces 13 during the Great War. He has puhlished a work on big 5 game and hos contributed numerous § travel articles to American period- §| icals. On the death of Mr. Brinn, =5 senior, In ISI4, he Inherited an enor- |F. mous fortune and a preponderating g influence in the B. U. B. S. C. He g I has never, taken any active part in JS j conduct of the concern, but has lived gj | a restless and wandering life in va- S j rious parts of the world. lij Mr. Nicol Brinn Is a confirmed S t bachelor. I have been unable to find j|i that he, has ever taken She slightest §§', | Interest in any woman other then his j mother throughout his career. Mrs. 3': j J. Nicolas Brinn Is still living in j Cincinnati, and there is said to be a g strong bond of affection between S . mother and son. His movements on sf yesterday, 4th June, 1931, were as s follows: g J He came out of Tils chambers at §§ eight o’clock and rode for an hour g In the park, when he returned and g remained indoors until midday. He jgl then drove to the Carlton, where he g lunched with ths Foreign Secretary, gj with whom he remained engaged in gg earnest conversation until ten min- S utes to three. The Rt. Hon. gentle- B man proceeded to the House of jS Commons and Mr. Brinn to an auc- § tlon at Christie’s. He bought two § oil paintings. He then returned to' §g his chambers and did not reappear g again until seven o'clock. He dined fg alone at a small and unfashionable § restaurant In Soho, went on to his g J box at Covent Garden, where he re- S mained for an hour, also alone, and S then went home. He had no callers g throughout the day. Deliberately Paul Harley bad read || the report, only removing hla hand 9 from his chin to turn over the g pages. Now from the cabinet at hta § elbow he took out his tin of tobacco g and, filling and lighting a pipe, lay g back, eyes half closed, considering J what he had learned respecting S Nicol Brinn. He found himself helplessly tied. 5 In which direction should he move a and to what end? As was his ous- M tom, he took a pencil and wrote 3 upon a little block: •‘Find means to force Brinn to g speak.” He lay back In his chair again, deep -1 in thought, and presently added the jS note; "Obtain interview with Ormuz 2 Khan.” . Just as be replaced the pencil on 3 the table, his telephone bell rang. g The caller proved to be his friend, 3 Inspector Wessex. "Hello, Mr. Harley,” said the In- £5 spector. “I had occasion to return § to the Yard, and they told me you § had rung up. I don’t know why you g are Interested In this Ormuz IThan, g unless you want to raise a loan." 8 Paul Harley laughed. "I gather | that he Is a man of extensive II means,” he replied, "hut hitherto be fl , has remained outside my radius of S , observation.” (Continued in Our Next Issue) p To Meet Thursday.
