8 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 1913. The Half-God BY ALBERT DOREIKGTON. Author of •‘THE RADIUM TERRORS,” "CHILDREN OF THE CLOVEN HOOF,” Eto. The Jap doctor turned with a sup pressed oath and jerked back the draw er. It seemed for a moment as if the heavy piece of furniture would be drag ged over in his savage impatience to view the Zeu. His sandalled feet slipped on the old w which had dripped from the opium lamp, causing his head and shoulders to pitch into the cavern like drawer. Some devil of malice whipped the young sea captain into lightning activity of thought and action. Stiffening his body against the iron camp bed, he shot out both heels against the head and chin of the prostrate doctor. • It was a deep drawer, capable of holding quantities of clothing and bed linen. The head and neck of Hamme- sho were in a trap, which depended on the strength of Engleheart’s heels to keep it shut. With both hands at ltberty the Jap Sought to shake the two stiff legs apart His body writhed like a cobra’s, while the muscles of his neck looped and twined in his fierce struggle to gain his feet. A corner of brick wall held the camp bed solidly against Kngleheart’s back pressure. In that moment the young sea captain attributed his failure in life to the squirming back and bullet head imprisoned in the drawer. An hour ago he would have fainted under the strain imposed upon his limbs. Now he merely remembered the ill-fated Man hattan and her drowned passengers. It was this wriggling torso, this gyrating body which . had sent him upon that infamous voyage undertaken in the in terests of tho^e unspeakable ship-own ers, Vardi, Gates & Co. Hammersho’s back seemed to cave in suddenly, the legs grew slack and, limp, while the head lolled inside the draw er. Engleheart waited a few seconds and then slipped from the bed. Eadh moment he expected O Shani Ma to appear in the doorway. In this present state he was no match for the muscu lar little man. A conflict must be avoided at all hazards. With his brain reeling from the ef fects of his desperate act, he swayed drunkenly into the dark passage out side. His bare feet made no sound as he groped into the doctor’s room ad joining. Under the pillow of the rough bed his fingers closed on a big revolver of the Browning pattern. There was <l clip of cartridges attached ready for instant use. Returning to his own room he paused Pimples Source of Great Danger May be Means of Absorbing Disease Germs in Most Unexpected Manner. Bid Farewell to All Blood and Skin Diseases.

It is somewhat revolutionary in its compo sition, since it accomplishes all that was ever claimed for mercury, iodides, arsenic and other destructive mineral drugs, and yet it is absolutely a purely vegetable product. There are more cases of artic ular rheumatism, locomotor ataxia, pa resis, neuritis and similar diseases result ant, from the use of minerals than from disease germs direct.

Seitz, i m 70, Chlcage breathlessly over the Jap doctor’s su pine figure and touched the swollen face. He was still breathing sterto- riously, but gave no sign of conscious ness as Engleheart turned with a final backward glance from the room. That the house was under police sur veillance the captain was pretty cer tain. Any noise or sound of firearms would bring the officers of the law with a rush into the passage below. He descended the narrow stairs as one caressing each moment of his life. O Shani Ma was seated at the table, his bqll neck and head silhouetted against the white-shaded oil lamp. Something in Engleheart’s approaching footsteps swung him round in the chair, a sullen curiosity in his eyes.. He looked unmoved at the uplift-., arm and the slanting pistol. "I won't worry y-u, O Shani”— foot—“unless you start piling yourself on top of me.” “What you want?” O Shani asaed stonily. He was like a pocket tiger in deep meditation. Eugleheart breathed not too easily; he had never quit© gauged the Japan ese spirit and powers of restraint. Also he was oppressed by the thought of having to make a noise. His opium- shattered nerves were in no condition to control the deadliest of modern weapons. “I want to pass peacefully from this house, O Shani Ma. I can't waste time scuffling and sparring for garrote holds with you. Are you ready to sit down and see me go out?” O Shani faced the slanting pistol with a grin of 'gcorn, yet he was aware that the bullet would get him long be fore his strangling arms could reach the stooping shouldered white man on the stairs. “Don't forget the police outside,” Engleheart cautioned. “There’s enough evidence in this house t° hang us both!” The Jap took breath like a swimmer in distress. “Where is Dr. Hammer- sh'o?” lie asked. “He has a long time been upstairs.” “Had a fit or something. Too much blood in the head. You know how hasty he is! Now you’d better let me pass, O Shani. I’m full up of your blackguard society!” Captain Engleheart moved past the Jap’s bunched up figure, his eye noting ^ach inflection of breath, each stir of the shut hand on the table. Ten back ward steps took him into the garden, the pistol covering O Shani as he step ped from the house. Outside the night was pitch dark. Masses of rain cloud blew in from the southwest, obscuring the few stars overhead. Engleheart crouched low among the bushes as he crept to the low fence at the garden end. The palings proved rotten and gave way to his first wrench, allowing him to crawl through to the blackness beyond. * le saw the shadow of O Sham Ma silhouetted on the chintz blind. Now ... if the police had been keeping a sharp lookout they might have noted the little scene en acted in the kitchen a few moments •before, h e argued. He listened before advancing a step, expecting to be chal lenged the moment he attempted to make away. Afar off he discerned the dull furnace glow of. the kilns, heard the hoot, hoot of a motor as it flashed round a bend in the distant road. Half crawling and stumbling at times into clay holes and ditches he reached a sloping bank that separated the common from the high* road. His limbs ached now from the effects of his un accustomed exertions. Yet he dared not pause to rest even for a brief in terval. Some drops of rain fell on his upturned face. Clambering down the bank, he gained the road and turned in the di rection of Chiltonhurst. In his to bacco pouch was Caleret’s priceless grain of Zeu. With discretion and some finesse it could be disposed of for a large sum. At present he was without a single coin. Doctor Ham- mersho had hitherto supplied his wants. But now ... he must find Bernice at once. Fifty pounds would keep him for three months. Bernice would help him he felt sure. It BITS FREE THAI We ship on approval without a cent • d «P°*£ Prepaid.

Bernice arrived home to find that Fabian had left unaccountably early for town. Then she remembered hia appointment with Rockwarne. Occu pied with her own cares her thoughts had deflected Momentarily from the grim shadow which overhung his life. He had gone to the city to receive sentence of death perhaps. She dared not think of his return, for what con solations could be offered if the greatest of living surgeons pronounced his case hopeless? Fabian was Vjery much in love, with life. In his homo at Chiltonhurst he had gathered many of the richest Eu ropean art treasures around him, had created for himself an earthly Paradise among even the wealthiest of his class. Of real happiness she had known little until Fabian had come into her life. It was his presence which had turned horror to joy, despair to forgetfulness. Now his life was threatened by an ail ment the nature of which she knew lit tle, save that its presence had always been synonymous with suffering and death. Jeah Caleret was one of many scien tists who had labored to produce a remedy. For ten years he had sought to wrest from certain elements that undefined curative agent whose pres ence was believed, £y modern scientists, to exist in polonium, helium and the sister elements to radium. At the mo ment of success she had been the in strument of Caleret’s destruction. She had led into his house a man capable of the most dastardly crimes. Her whole future was now in the keeping of that one man, and she cou»a not resist nor cry out against his criminal ac tivities. She passed the day alone in the grounds. The flower-scented lawn of fered some respite from the Incessant millwheels of thought. But each mo tor sound from the distant road awoke her to a sense of the ordeal to come. It was 4 o’clock when Fabian re turned. She was in the library when he entered the house. His valet passed In-the picture here you see a boy riding a motorcycle.

A feeling of instant ter ror seized her. An ominous stillness fell upon the house. The servants* went about with no more sound than phantoms. In the doorway she met Fabian. He was pale and out of breath after his slow ascent of the terrace steps. She took his hand and they walked together Into the library. “Rockwarme has not been too kind, dear,” she ventured with a desperate effort to check her rising tears. “What did he say?” \ Fabian essayed a laugh, then dropped into a chair, his hand searching rather wildly for his cigarette case. “Doesn’t hold out a scrap of hope. The devil of carcinoma gess to work pretty suddenly after the sixth week!” “Did he tell you so much, dear?” “I begged him to be frank, Berny. What’s the use trying to evade the inevitable? It’s one of these calamities a man can’t buy vut of.” He bent for ward in the chair suddenly pressing his right hand over his chest. ‘‘Get’s one by the heart and brain until,” he paused wiping the moisture from his brow, “until everything swims In black ness and you’re half suffocated!” She sat beside hi mher cool cheek pressed to his lest the sight of her pain might weary him. Recovering himself slightly he sat back with one of her hands held close to his heart. “You are going to be a good little wife, Berny. There’s no earthly reason for you to sink into a hopeless frame of mind because something is prevent ing me from drifting into a senile old age. Are you listening?” “Yes, dear, but we must not take Rochwarne too seriously. Ten per cent of his predictions are always unful filled.” “Ten per cent is a small loophole, Berny, when you’re one of the doomed ninety. Of course, I didn't go to Roch warne with any hope whatever. He only verified what I felt to be the truth.” The effort of speech wearied him. He seemed content to lie still in the wide chair With Bernice’s face drawn near his own. A great soundless void leaped between them out of which came the faint throbbings of the far- off city. Until tonight ease and lux ury had been theirs. Fabian had in herited a huge fortune to lavish upon this sweet-voiced woman who had given him love and comradeship in re turn. To Bernice it seemed incredible that Fabian should be standing at the grave edge. She had seen men, in Roch- warne’s institute, suffering acute agonies and constant relapses, yet the great spe cialist invariably held out hope of their ultimate recovery. Here was Fabian, his mind bright and responsible, able to enter and leave his car without as sistance—and yet withal these favor able rhanifestations he* must succumb and pass away! He stirred uneasily as though about to rise. “Funny how things happen,” his voice was keyed to a whisper. “You know I helped Caleret to produce that superrradium in the hope that it would prove a blessing to humanity. Today Rochewarne reiterated frankly that in the stolen radium lay my one chance of life. With it he could have operated with a big chance of suc cess!” In the sharp silence that followed his whispered statement there came to her the slow unctuous voice of the Japanese miscreant she had taken into the pro fessor’s house. She dared not /speak now. Her confession would be too tragic, too lamentable and foolish. “The man who stole Caleret’s grain of super-radium,” Fabian went on weari ly, “cut my life line, dear. I do not know who he may be—some medical charlatan, probably—but . t . if he would come to me and bargain, if he would only come—” His head sank to her shoulder and she counted the heavy pauses in his breathing as a mother watching the final efforts of a loved one before the end. She knew that the verdict of Doctor Rochwarne had unnerved him. and she waited without speaking until the fit of blind inertia had passed. Her mind reeled over the events of the past few days, beginning with the theft of the Zeu-bulb and ending with Cal eret’s assassination. She knew instinc tively that the Japanese doctor had some how blundered in his desperate attempt to transmit- the priceless grain of super radium from the French professor’s lab oratory. Something had miscarried, she knew not what, and the murder and rob bery had ended in blank and pitiful fail ure. Hammersho could not help them even though she placed Fabian’s last dol lar at his feet. Bernice’s maid entered the library an nouncing in a whisper that dinner was ready. A single look sent lier from the apartment wondering at Fabian and her mistress’s preoccupied manner. Once or twice during the long evening visitors ar rived, but Bernice shook her head at the pensive browed ,footmaq who brought in the cards. A glass of wine brought color to Fa bian’s cheeks. He rose from the chair and expressed a desire to leave her for a little while. She knew instinctively, that his solicitor would be sent for and that the rest of the night would be spent in arranging his multitudinous affairs. They parted in the hall. Bernice, her mind running on the second tragedy which had entered her life, passed in stinctively to {he sweeter air of the outer conservatories where the electric instal lation had permitted the spending of many an hour among Fabian’s beautiful collection of awers and plants. A stretch of lawn separated the nearest conservatory from the house. The cool night air touched her cheek as she cross ed the grassy space. Heavy rain clouds were massing overhead; a fe*w splashes fell heavily on the glass roof. Far down the avenue she heard the first‘sound of the wind among the elms, and again the loud patter on the glass roof above. She paused with her hand on the elec- tic switch undecidedly. Sootsteps, slow and irregular, sounded in the avenue. She listened and wondered. It was not usual for the servants to come in by the main entrance and her visitors never ar rived on foot at that hour. The rain be gan to pelt the glass roofs now. Instinct ively she drew inside the doorway and waited. A man came slowly into view, halted quite close, and began a calm survey or the thirteenth century house and back ground. His outline conveyed an impress sion of slovenly attire—the sagging coat , and knee-bagged trousers, the cheap cloth cap pressed down about his ears*. It was six years since she had parted |with Maurice Engleheart at Nagasaki. jNow . . . the sky seemed to spin earth ward at sight of him. . . . The man who had been drowned in that For mosan typhoon, buried beneath oceans of brine and forgotten! She had seen him in his opium stupor at Hammer sho’s only a little while before. But . . . now he had r.wakened, had come to seek her out. She looked again until her eyes grew sick and sight failed her. There was not sense in hiding from him. Dr. Ham mersho had sent him, no doubt. She must face It out. Stepping from the conservatory she called once, twice. Engleheart looked around quickly and advanced, rolling a cigarette as he walked; he was think ing hard. There were signs of mud and sand on his clothes where he had crawled from the Japanese doctor’s house. A week’s growth of beard completed his tramp-like appearance. (Continued In next Issue.) OLD FILERS El MEET AND'TAKE FIDDLES HOME Thursday Night's Fiddling “Wound It Up” With Flour ish - Prizes Are Given There may be heartburns about the way those prizes were awhrded, and there may be folks disposed to take issue with the judges' at the Old Fid dlers’ convention—-but the clouds were fiddled away Friday morning as though nobody had been disappointed and every body had won firsf prize. For the fid dlers had scattered to their native heaths by then, and fiddlers are not the hind whom troubles pesters. The big contest, which began *at the auditorium Tuesday night and contin ued Wednesday night, ended Thursday night with the distribution of prizes. Fiddlers from far and near, from town and backwoods, had gathered there to test their, merit in rendition of the old- time tunes on the old-time fiddles. Bet ter music has not been heard here. If you doubt it, take a vote. Even the most modern of city men could not help but enjoy it and be thrilled by it, if he had the blood of old American stock in his veins. For fiddling music is the essence of typical American harmony. It expresses the spirit of the settlers. The crowds that Atlanta sent to the auditorium betokened the welcome that the old fiddlers got here. Tuesday’s au dience was fine. Wednesday’s audience, big in spite of the weather, was quite large endugh for an old fiddlers’ con vention, which is never pretentious. Thursday afternoon the fiddlers or ganized formally into the Georgia Fid dlers’ association, which hereafter will hold, a convention each year. Timsey Warren, of Rockdale, was elected pres ident; A. V. Poole, of Oxford, vice president; P A. Ludwig, Marietta, sec ond vice president, and Homer J. Wea ver, of Atlanta, secretary. Th© ex ecutive committee was chosen to con sist of R. M. Stanley, Dacula; John Block, Lawrenceville; R. M. Simonton, Logansville; E. S. Cown, Hogansville; John M. Carlton, Cartersville.

WASHINGTON, Apfil 7.—Members re turned to Washington in large numbers for the opening of the special session of the new congress Monday noon. Repub lican members of the house had been ad vised to reach the city to participate in a party caucus tonight, at which it is expected Representative Mann, of Illi nois, would again be named for party leader in the house. Activity at both the house and senate ends of the capital centers now about the preparation for tariff revision work. Senator John W. Kern, Democratic lead er of the senate, will call the Demo crats in caucus early next week to con sider property cnanges in the rules to more thoroughly distribute the control of committees and legislation. The date of the Democratic house caucus to pass upon the details of the tariff revision bill had not been deter mined upon early today. General legis lative subjects that may come before the special session are being held back by party leaders of the two houses and by President Wilsoh, in the hope that no other subjects will draw attention from tariff revision during the early days of the session. Hundreds of minor appropriations are expected to reach the senate Monday when that body convenes. President Wilson has announced only a few recess appointments, but it was understood that scores of routing appointments had been determined upon and would be sent to the senate early in the week.

SCANDAL INVOLVING WESTERNER MAY BE AIRED IN U. S. SENATE After U. S, District Attorney , Wilson Dropped Charges Against Senator involving Moral Conduct, Charges Are Made to Senate Clerk (By RALPH SMITH.) WASHINGTON, D. C., April 5.—Al though United States District Attorney W T ilson has found “no justification for laying any complaint against any Uni ted States Senator before the grand jury,” it is reported tonight that friends of the “woman in the case,” ate de termined to expose the whole alleged scandal of the affair. Copies of the charges against “the well known western” have been filed wim Vice-President Marshall, and un less he lays them before the senate on Monday it is understood that a sen ator will rise in his place, and read the statement to the open senate. The nature of the charges and thd prominence of the parties concerned, more e&«-ecially the senator, have fur nished to Washington the spicest mor sel of gossip in many a day. The woman, who is the wife of a prominent constituent of a senator in question, charges that the statesman offered certain indignities to her, when she sought his aid in behalf of her husband, who is an applicant for a federal office. The senator claims that he is the victom of a blackmailing scheme, and that the charges were manufactured out of the whole cloth. District Attorney Wilson, of this city, investigated the chargee at length, heard from the woman herself and one or two witnesses. After his inquiry and a conference with Attorney General Mc- Reynolds, he issued a statement today | declining to proceed further. In the meantime, friends of the woman presented copies of the charges | to the vice-president. $3.50 Recipe Free For Weak Men HUERTA HAS NOT YET AGREED TO RESIGN MEXICO CITY, April 7.— No confir mation could be obtained here today of the report from El Paso that General Huerta had agreed to retire from the presidency and that Pedro Lascurain would assume that office temporarily.
