By CRITTENDEN MARRIOTT CoftvrirfK. W. G. Chapaaa 4 ARCHMAN SYNOPSIS.—Thrown from bls auto in a New York village, a man is carried unconscious into the home of a Miss Edith Grant A doctor discovers he has been shot, fatally. Consciousness returning, he babbles of “millions. ’ He begs that Henry Archman. millionaire resident of the vicinity. be sent for. declaring he baa important papers for him. , CHAPTER I—Continued “Telephone?" The man had grown suddenly calm. He seemed to have recovered gomplete possession of h|s senses. 'Good! Good I Telephone to him at one that Morbach —•" “Morbach’’’ The girl echoed the I name. “Yes. tell hlni that Morbach Is here. : Tell him to come quick. Quick ! You t understand?” “Yes. i understand." The girl went to the telephone, and lifted her hand to the receiver. Then she hesitated ' and turned. “Is It Mr. Henry Archman or his son Harry that you wish 1 to see?" she asked. “Henry! Henry! What have 1 to jdo with boys? Tell Henry to come—quick !” The girl spoke Into the telephone. Morbach lay feverishly listening while she got the desired connection. “Is i Mr. Archrqan there?" she asked. Then: “Mr. Henry Archman Isn’t at home.” she said. “Not a. borne! Oh! Is any one i there who Is In his confidence? Any one who has the brains?" Th4* girl spoke once more into the telephone. “There's a woman at the phone now." she said, a moment later. : "It's his daughter. Can you tell her something about your business with Mr. Archman?" “My business!" The man laughed gaspingly. “Tell him that I have Information that is worth millions: Tell him that J die. Tell him what you please. Only tell him to come." Again Edith spoke into the tele--1 phone; .hen she turned. “Miss Archtuan says that she will send her father’s secretary, Mr. Akin, here at once.” she explained, “and that she will try and reach her father and send him here also. Mr. Archmau’s house is two miles away, and it will 1 take setae time fur either of them to get here." “He had better come quick.” The ' man sobbed, the words. a “Doctor. you will keep me alive till he comes. I must not die till he cornea" “Hl do my best." The doctor bent over him and held a teaspoonfut of some potent concoction to his lipa "Take this and He as still as you ”can and save your The tnan swallowed the liquor and lay still. An insuintlater the doctor left him and went to the telephone and called up the police station. Harrison heard him and seemed galvanized to action. Quickly he turned to Miss Grant. “1 must go," he said. “I suppose this Mr. Akin will be here as he promised. Do you know him?" The girl shook her head. “No." she - said. The dorter heard the words and came over. Harrison spoke to him. “1 was Just wondering whether Mr. Akin could be relied upon." he said. “I’ve got a and buggy out here and perhaps I might meet him and hurry him up. Good-night!" and he turned toward the door. “Good-night.” The girl spoke softly. “Let me thank you for what you have done.” “No thanks are necessary," responded- Harrison hastily. “If they are due to any one, they are to you. But I guess there are.no thanks coming to either of us. Good-night." He opened the door and went out A moment later the doctor looked up. “Tiiiit gentleman hasn't gone, has he?" he 'demanded. « Edith nodded. - “He said he was In a hurry and that there didn’t seem anything more to do." The doctor frowned. “Did he give you hid name and address?” he asked. Edith hesitated. “He gave me his name." she said. “It Is Henry Harrfe son. But he gave no address." “That’s bad!" The doctor frowned. “This Is a case of murder, yon know. His testimony will certainly be wanted. However. 1 suppose he can be found." '* “His buggy was struck In the collision. Perhaps It was damaged. Maybe he hasn’t gone ye*. Shall I seeF : wThe girl went out through the din-ing-room. closing the door between ths ! two rooms as she passed through R. She was gone a lon« time—or ae tt seemed to the doctor. When she came back she shook her head. “He’s gone." she said. “The night to too dark to let one see much. He’S out of sight. Gracious .*” The doorbell had rung with startling suddenness "I suppose that I* Mr. Akin." the girt said, as she turned toward the halt X A man of medium height, muffled to his ears against the October chill, stood on the threshold of the dimly lighted hall "Is this Mrs. Grant’sF he asked. “My name is Akin. Somebody telephoned me that a man named Morbach wanted to see me." Edith stood aside. “Come tn. Mr. Akin." she invited. “It was I who phoned, rm glad you've come. Mr. Morbach was hurt In an accident and is very anxious to see Mr. Archman or his representative. The doctor thinks he cwn’t live more than a Tew minutes longer. Will you take off your coatF "No, thank you." The pewcomer shrank deep into his capacious collar. -Where is the manF -In here.” The nefeecmer watered the floor indicated and sat down in a chair that the doettw hastily placed for him beside the wounded man. Then he bent forward. “I am Mr. Akin. Mr. Arcbi man’s secretary." he said. “You have < meteig/for Mr. Arcbman, I believe.”

: Morbach’s eyes popped open. "You ! have come 1” he cried “Good —we’ll 1 beat them yet.” He hesitated, his eyes ■ roving over the faces of the others. "If I could only see Henry!" he groaned. “You are his man and you are all right, but it means so much, so much. Come here, all of you—you, doctor; you. young lady; all of you listen!" The man lay still for a moment, gathering strength. When he spoke his voice was very faint. “Tell Henry that he Is dying—be whom I have served so long, and that he wants to see ner—her, you understand I cabled Henry a week ago. Then I i come, too, for I fear that the cable ' might leak. And I think it did le,ak. ' yes—for when 1 landed In New York I they were waiting for me. I try to dodge—yes—l get an auto and start. It is no use. They attach me. But i they do not get the proofs, for I do not bring them. He would not let me bring them. He will give them only ’ into her own hands. Henry must bring her and get them. She will be rich—oh, yes! She will have millions to fight them with. And she will need them. But she must come at once. Henry must bring her by the way he knows, or by the way told in these papers—” The dying man raised the] packet feebly. “It Is by—by—” I The other leaned forward "Yes. yes!" he cried eagerly. “The way is jby—" “It’s all told here!” Again Morbach raised the paper. “But let him beware!" he cried “Let him beware!" J®! W|: < Nellie Had Turned Around. “Mr. t Carr!” She Exclaimed, In Tones as Wondering as Those of the Man. A shudder shook his frame. “They got me and —and—” Again his voice died away. “The papers—tell all,” he said, with a last expiring effort. “I understand*” The man took the packet and slipped It into his pocket. “I’ll tell Mr. Archman.” he promised. “Yes, yes; tell him all. Tell him—" Tl(e front doorbell rang shajrpiy, cutting across Morbach’s words, and he fell back on the lounge. Edith, turning away, went hurriedly Into the hall, closing the parlor door gently behind Iter as she did so. CHAPTER II A Clew Wanted. When Edith opened the door she ! found standing on the steps a sweetfaced young woman, apparently little I more than a girl. Behind her glimmered the twin lamps of an automobile. | Quickly Edith stepped back and opened the door wider. “Come in!" she Invited. The newcomer stepped In timidly. “Is this Miss Grant? 1 ? she asked. “I am Nellie Archman. You telephoned jfor my father —” | “Yes? lam so glad you have come. Your father’s secretary is with Mr. • Morbach now." “Mr. Akin?" For an Instant Nellie * looked puzzled. Then her face cleared. | “1 suppose he couldn’t find father and thought It best to come hltnself." she murmured. "1 telephoned you that he would comet you know, but later we decided that he should go to look for father and that I should come here direct I don’t see bow be managed to outstrip me. but I am glad he did." Edith n odded and turned toward the closed door of the parlor. “WIU you see Mr. Morbach?” ahe asked. Bbt Nellie declined. "I had rather not," she said. “If Mr. Akin is here, he Will do everything. I only came In case—" The door opened behind her and some me came tn hastily. "I got your phone message," said a man’s voice, “and came over at once. I—Miss Archman!" Neilly had turned around. "Mr. Carr!" she exclaimed. In tones as wondering as those of the man.

Annuities Issued in Early Babylonian* Tinies

Historically annuities antedate life insurance by far. It is thought that the great development of banking fticUities tn Assyria and Babylonia must have provided annuities. The first definite mention of them, however, was 40 B. C. In Rome, and is of such a character as to Justify a belief that they had been long in use. In the Middle ages, kingdoms, monieipalities and bankers obtained mnney by selling annuities for life or terms of years. It Is said that England's national existence during the wars of William of Orange was largely maintained through the money obbv nixies. At first; the values of such contracts were determined witbout scientific ealculn*

The tv. > faced each other. BoH. seemed at a loss for words. The man. especlaLj, seemed abashed. Nellie was the first to recover herself. "I didn’t know that you lived out here,” she said. The man seemed to recover himself. He smiled ruefully. “Discovered!” he said. “I’ve made an awful mess of things. I’m afraid. I—oh! Well! I*ve got to confess now.” He turned to the other woman. Edith!” he began.’ “Let me—" A sudden sharp outcry behind the closed door cut across Carr’s words, and he broke off. Simultaneously Edith threw open the door and hastened through It. As Nellie started to follow, the man stopped her. “You’ll come with your father to the ship tomorrow, won’t you?” he begged. “I can’t explain now. There’s no time. I’ve begn a fool, but it was because —Good Lord! I can’t tell you now. Promise me you’ll come!” Nellie nodded. “Yes, TH come," she said slowly. In a tired, hard voice. Inside the parlor the doctor was standing over the couch, straightening the injured man’s arms. As the others entered he looked up. “It’s all over,” he said. "The man Is dead. However, he told his story first. It sounds vague, but 1 suppose Mr. Archman will understand. Mr. Akin — Where Is Mr. Akin 7” He looked about him inquiringly. Edith loqked surprised. “I don’t know,” she said. “He didn’t come into the front hall. He must have gone into the dining-room.” She turned. “This Is Miss Archman. doctor,” she said. She did not introduce Carr, and Nellie, as she bowed gravely; noted that he had not entered the room. The doctor’s face cleared. “Tm glad you have come. Miss Archman.” he said. "Your father’s secretary was here a moment ago, but he has disappeared mysteriously. I suppose he’ll turn up soon. I wish the police would come. Here they are now!” Another ring had sounded at the door. It was not the police, however. The open door disclosed two men. one old and the other young. The elder man’s face was drawn and pale. “Morbach 1” he exclaimed. "Where is he?” Then as no one spoke he went on impatiently. “You telephoned me,’’ he rasped. “I am Mr. Archman.’’ “Yes, I know you, Mr. Arcnman." Edith stepped forward. “I’m sorry, but Mr. Morbach is dead. He died ten minutes ago. This is he!” Archman stepped to the side of the couch and stared at the dead man’s face. “I’ve known him forty years,” he said. “And now he’s dead and I’m left. -How did it happen F He looked up questioningly and saw his daughter. “Nellie!” he exclaimed. “You here? I thought I recognized the auto. How did this happenF Nellie glanced at the doctor, who made haste to answer. “Auto accident," he said tersely. “But that didn’t kill him. He was murdered—shot through the body." “Murdered!" Arcbman’s lips tightened. “Good G—d! It must have been—” He clutched at the doctor's arm. “Did he leave any message—any word? They didn’t get his papers, did theyF “No! No!” The doctor shook his head consolingly. “No; your secretary got here in time. Mr. Morbach gave him papers and a message. It’s all right. Your secretary has everything.” "My secretary? What fool talk is this? This is my secretary"—he indicated the younger man—"l got your message after be started, and I caught up with him at your gate.” The doctor’s eyes widened. “I don’t understand.” he muttered. "Mr. Akin was here a moment ago. This gentleman can’t be he." “It is he. Don’t you suppose I know my own secretary? If any one else is here, he’s an Impostor. If any one— Where is he? Let me see him!” "He’s gone I" The doctor’s voice was hoarse. “Gone! Gone! But he didn't get Morbach’s papers!" The doctor nodded.' "Yes! He got them. Ee said he was Mr. Akin. None of us knew—" “Nellie knew." Archman whirled on bls daughter. “What does this mean. Nellie?” he cried. The girl shook her bead. "I didn’t see hlni. father." she said. “He was with Mr. Morbach when I came and—” The doctor Interposed. "None of us J new him and none of us doubted him. loriMch gave him the papers. Were—were they very important F “Important! Important 1" Archman’s face grew so red that it was almost black. “What did he say. man? What did he say? Didst you hearF The doctor nodded. “Yes; we heard.” be answered. "He asked us to listen. He said that some one whom you would know was dying and wanted to see ‘her.’ He bad cabled and then had come himself, apparently tearing that the message might have been intercepted—" “It was.

as a basis, and later the Carlisle table, but both these bases were far too favorable to the annuities. Several British companies took advantage of the very low price at which their government granted annuities and purchased many on the lives of sturdy farmers, but payable to their corporate selves, and thus made large profits In 1819 an English actuary warned the government that, it was losing £B.OOO a month, but he was not heeded until 1827. wbea another actuary announced that the government was losing £4,000 a week, and then the sale of annuities was stopped after an estimated total loss of 000.—World’s Work. d^uoteT udth M *** ”
