8 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1913. The Half-God BY ALBERT DttRRUCGTON. Author of “THE RADIUM TERRORS,” “CHILDREN OF THE CLOVEN HOOF,” Etc. (Cotinuation of Chapter II.) He removed his glove to light a cigarette, and she saw that the sleeve of his coat was frayed and shabby. There were grease stains on tUs vest and shirt cuffs. The car in which he sat was an old taxi, weather-rotted and very dilapidated. In her brief, hurried glance his circumstances and purpose seemed clear. “How long has Captain Engleheart been in England?’' she questioned, her brain alert now to catch some flaw in his almost incredible statement. He shrugged disparagingly. “A month only. ..The loss of the Manhat tan has eaten up his courage and nerve. He shouts In his sleep about boats and the shffting cargo that sent the Man hattan out of business. Captain Engle heart is now a very deplorable object!” “Where do you live, Doctor Hamer- sho?” “About a mile from here, madame. Follow me in your car and you shall look up Engleheart!” Hammfensho’s voice never changed. She shrank from his outstretched hand as though it held a whip. “You must allow me time to con sider, Doctor Hammersho. The news you have brought is rather sudden. You must wait” “How long?” “Until tomorrow. I will meet you here about this time.” He leaned from the mu<T-spattered taxi, his restless eyes searching her 'closely. “Your marriage with Kromer is un fortunate, madame; but there is no need for it to disturb your peace so long as Captain Engleheart is with me.” His fingers searched among his pock ets until a ‘‘greasy card bearing his name and address was produced. “To morrow, then, at this time and place.” He handed her the card, and then with a slight nod drove his car down the narrow road in the direction of Twyford town. She watched him depart, and the fumes of his petrol stayed like poison in her throat. The whole sum of her past was now In the reckoning. The sea had de ceived her, as it had deceived thou sands of others. It had flung into being the ma? who had once appeared to her as the ideal of all there was good and noble. She had met Maurice Engleheart at the house of a relative in Calcutta, at a time when her father was away with his regiment at Um- balla. Engleheart at that time was engaged in the Hoogli pilot service. But after their secret marriage he had accepted command of a 2,000-ton steamer plying between Calcutta and Japan. Bernice had accompanied him joyously on his second voyage to the beautiful home he had prepared for her on the outskirts of N^rasaki. It was a small bungalow furnished in native fashion and overlooking the temple of Shoninaw. For a time Ber nice imagined that her Japanese gar- ARE THEY WEAK OR PAINFUL? Do your lung* ever bleed ?

Maurice was absent for a long period and at each homecoming she detected subtle changes in his manner. From the young nimble-footed officer he be came dull-eyed and slow moving, his temper ^title and uncertain. Bernic4 bad not lived ten years in the east without attaining to some knowledge of everyday facts. Even in -India a sailor of twenty-seven, witn the raw edge of youth unimpaired, does not in a single year, sink into senility and sloth. There must be a cause. She found it one night in the little jade green opium-lamp and pipe con cealed under the thatched roof of the garden house. The discovery turned her cold and sick. As weil argue with a famished wolf as try to wean her sick-souled husband from the drug. Only at intervals did he evince the slightest interest in his surroundings, for a while Imry, the-months’ old baby, appealed to the little manhood left in him. Yet, i n spite of her pity and affection, Bernice was forced to decide upon her future course of life as Maurice’s opium habit Increased. His one friend Nagasaki was the husky-voiced student of medicine. HiogI Hammersho. They were ' Inseparable while Maurice’s ship was in port. The cause of their friendship was made manifest later. It lay in the fact that Hiogi was dependent on Maurice for secret supplies of Indian opium, smug gled ashore under the noses of cus toms officers. Hiogi Hammersho. be sides owning a lucrative medical prac tice, added to his income by renting certain hasheesh houses in the foreign quarter of Nagasaki. She had appealed, in the name of her child, to the little Japanese doctor to assist her in reclaiming Maurice En gleheart from the soul-destroying habit. Hiogi very courteously pointed out that an Englishman had a right to form any habit he chose, providing it did not interfere with his calling or profession. The opium tendency, he declared, was not so debasing as the al cohol habit, which maddens men’s minds and turned them eventually in to howling monsters. “Go,” he said, “into the perfumed seclusion of a modern opium divan and look at what the cultured Euro pean is pleased to call the Chinaman’s dementalizing excesses. Contrast the opium smoker’s quiescent state with the brutality, ill health, the crime, and poverty which spring from alcoholic excesses!” Bernice made no further appeals to Hiogi Hammersho, but decided to re turn to England with Imry at the ear liest opportunity. Her runaway mar riage had estranged her from her father. She dared not look to him for help. In the mean time Maurice had become sullenly aware of her inten tions. And in his sane hours, before the opium fever assailed him in the evening, he pleaded that Imry be left in Nagasaki with his native nurse un til she thought fit to return to Japan. In this plea he was supported by Dr. Hammersho, who pointed out that in Japan a father was entitled to the guardianship of his children. More over, he intimated that any attempt on her part to deprive Maurice Engle heart of his child would bring upon her the wrath of the Nagasakian authori ties. Bernice conceived a plan whereby she could leave the country with Imry, un molested. At the last moment she en gaged her passage to London on an outgoing steamer, and with the assist ance of Nagiswara, her Japanese maid, smuggled Imry into her cabin unnotic ed. Then she went on deck ambng the crowds of Europeans and natives wish ing each other good-by. At the last stroke of the bell- warn ing all non-passengers ashore, she ob served a *tout Japanese dame hurry ing down the gangway carrying some thing inside her large kimono. Only as the gangway drew up did a suspicion of the terrible truth leap upon her. Her flying feet took her below to her cabin to find Imry gone! She reached the deck sick and fainting, the sound of the steamer’s propeller in her ears. A wild glance over the rail showed her that they were moving rap idly from the wharf. The captain, a German of irascible temper, batly refused to believe her story or .even consider seriously her proposi tion to put back to the wharf. The next point of call was Singapo. Here a let ter from Maurice, conveyed by one of the fast Indo-Japanese mail packets, awaited her, explaining that Imry was quite well, but that on no account would he permit her to take him from the country. “You have chosen to leave me,” the letter went on. “So be it. At any time the child is yours to have and keep con ditionally that you return to your home here.—M. E.” Lack of funds prevented Bernice re turning instantly to Nagasaki. Seven pounds was the sum total of her world ly wealth, scarcely enough to purchase her return steerage passage among the crowds of Mohammedan and Chinese coolies who usually invade the for’ard part of eastern-bound vessels. At the last moment she vfas driven to WHEN A LAXATIVE IS Salts, Calomel and Cathartic Pills Act on Bowels as Pep per Acts in Nostrils Take a Cascarct tonight and thor oughly cleanse your Liver, Stomach nnd Bowels, and you will surely feel great by morning. You men and women who have headache, coated tongue, can’t sleep, are bilious, nervous and upset, bothered with a sick, gassy, disordered stomach, or have backache and feel all worn out. Are you keeping your bowels clean with Cascarets—or merely forcing a pass ageway every few days with, salts, ca thartic pills or castor oil? This is im portant. Cascarets Immediately cleanse and reg ulate the stomach, remove the sour, un digested and fermenting food and foul gases; take the excess bile from the liver and carry off the constipated waste matter and poison from the in testines and bowels. Remember, a Cascaret tonight will straighten you out by morning. A 10- cent box from your dr.uggist means healthy bowel action; a clear head and cheerfulness for months. Son’t forget the children.—(Advt.) accept the inevitable. On arriving in England she hoped to gain^the assist ance of her father’s people before claim ing Imry from the man she had aban doned. Providence disposed otherwise. On the steamer was Mme. Brunner, a matron belonging to the Rochwarne In stitute of Interlaken.* Interested in Ber nice’s pitiful experiences a friendship sprang between the two which ripened into a closer bond before Hamburg was reached. Madame had been on a visit to Japan to study the new methods of nursing adopted by many of the military colleges and private hospitals. At the last moment Mme. Brunner prevailed upon Bernice to accompany her to Interlaken, where she promised to use her influence with the famous Dr. Rgch- warne in obtaining a position of trust in the household. As the daughter of a prominent British army surgeon the instinct of nutsing was almost inherent in Bernice. Indeed, while accompanying her father through the various hill -stations of northern India, it fell to her upon more than one occasion to take her place in the hos pital ward and field tent. At Rochwarne’s Institute, with Mme, Brunner as head matron, her services were soon required for the most serious and delicate work. Her'salary was fixed at a rate which made possible her return to Japan within eighteen months, at least. It was not a long time to wait. And the thought of again meeting her little son added zeal and nerve to her lightest undertakings. In a very short time the great physi cian and specialist, Rochwarne, decided that Mme. Brunner had provided him with an invaluable assistant whose serv ices could not be overestimated. It was about this time that news of the Manhattan's wreck reached her, together with the story of Captain Engleheart’s drowning along with forty passengers and thirty of the crew. A week later she received a letter from Nora Engleheart, Maurice^ sister in Calcutta, informing her that Irmy was in her keeping and would remain until something definite could me . arranged. The boy’s health was excellent, Nora concluded They had both returned to Calcutta after a visit to Simla. Bernice found relief from her over strained nerves in work, incessant work. The great Rochwarne protested smilingly one day against her repeated attempts to fulfil the duties of six ordi nary nurses. When F"abian came to the institute she was detailed, during his period of convalescence, to attend him until his departure. Free to begin life again Bernice had accepted the young American’s offer of marriage with some hesitation. Of her past life with Maurice she held nothing back. It was Irmy who weak ened her honesty of purpose. Some dread instinct warned her that the oversensitive, Fabian would revolt at the admission of the child’s existence. The omission brought its own punish ment. Surrounded by modern luxuries, undreamed of in her wildest fancies, she had endured five years of inesca pable torture. Irmy could never look upon her again. He would pass his life with Nora Engleheart, Inhaling the fetid ordors of a tropical city, to die, probably, at the end of some hot sum mer, unloved and neglected. She had endured this self-imposed tor ment unavailingly. Maurice Engleheart had drawn his enfeebled body from the waves when stronger men had drowned. The future faced x her like a flaming sword. * * * * • Fabian returned from his visit to Caleret’s laboratory, a strange elasticity in his gait and manner. He found Bernice in the library, an open book in her hand, her head bent sligjitly for ward. He had brought her some flowers 'from town. Scarlet and yellow Iceland poppies, interlaced with arctic moss. She inhaled the cold fragrance feverish- Send u$ a trial.order NOW for HAYNER BOTTLED-IN-BOND WHISKEY T HIS is the ideal whiskey for the home —rich, pure, delicious—guaranteed to please in every way—or your money back.

He’s besieged night and day with callers, medical cranks from every part of Europe. They want his^half-god. or some of It, the fools. And they talked and gesticulated as if he stored it in casks.” Her mind strove to follow his words. All interest in Jean Caleret’s wonder ful discovery had evaporated. ■ Her thoughts centered again on Imry and the sailor husband whom the sea had refused to drown. Fabian was too full of his theme to note ll£r mental pre occupation. His mind was aflare with the events of the day. The French sci entist had showed him the tiny bulb containing the sen. the miraculous ex tract of a radium which, even in its imperfect state, pointed to the extermi nation bf the most dreaded of human scourges. Bernice sighed as she contemplated Fabian’s illumined eyes. How inter ested he was In the welfare of human ity, she thought. Oc was it that his own past sufferings had keened his sympathies, causing him to pour his stream of gold into the various labora tories of phyesical research? Her mind was slowly recovering the shock of her meeting with the Japan ese doctor. Numbed and ’shaken, at first, by the sudden tragedy of her po sition, her thoughts grew clearer with each passing hour. After all. she had only the doctor's word that Engleheart had escaped. And Hiogi Hammersho’s past ad<J^d little weight to any state ment lie might make. She must see Engleheart herself* she must look at the man who alone had escaped the quick death which had overtaken the Manhattan. Two of Fabian’s friends called i n the evening. There was a late supper in the mairf hall of Holmwood house, where Fabian discussed the po tentialities of zen with a ferver that threatened to test the patience of his traiwi Atlanic guests. / Continued in Vest XflSue.)

August Schieber, of Memphis, Slain in Apartment of Another Woman MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 11.—August Schieber, president of a lumber com pany of this city, last night, was shot and died shortly aftrewards, and a yoiyig woman who gave her in the same apartment in a downtown flat building, was slightly wounded. Mrs. Schieber was arrested charged with the shooting. She refused to make any statement. One of the five bullets fired struck Schieber near the right -temple and passed through his head. Another wounded the young woman in the arm. Mrs Schieber was arrested at her home in a fashionable residence section short ly after the shooting. According to the arresting officer, she did not appear per turbed and, after inquiring whether “she” was dead, turned over to him a pistol with five empty shells in it. When told that her husband'would die, she is said to have replied: “Then it was for nothing, after all.” Schieber, who was reputed to be wealthy, ca'ine to Memphis several years ago from Mount Vernon, Ind. He was about thirty-five years of age. Mrs. Schieber gave her age as thirty-five. Mrs. Howell is said to have formerly lived in Vincennes, Ind.
