Continuation of Chapter XX.)
“SoYne women pin *heir faith in sink
ing ships, others trust to chance.” He
stood some distance from the conserva
tory, an opium bleached ruin of a man
with one faltering purpose in life.
‘‘You took that yarn about the wreck
of the Manhattan for granted,” he went
on placidly. “Some women are cool.”
There was laughter in his voice‘that
hurt more than strength of speech or
bitter denunciations. H e had changed
almost beyond recognition; his face
was Asiatic in tone and color. He had
acquired^ the habits of a coolie and was
obviously unfit for decent society. She
looked at him again and was mitten
to silence.
He took courage at her unresponsive
ness and drew nearer. “Dr. Hammer-
sho fed you on lies about that ship
wreck, Berny. Of course you’re go
ing to blame me for not getting
drowned. Maybe,” he paused while his
shoulders shook a little.^ “maybe I’ll
oblige you by doing it in earnest one
of these days—in that artificial lake
of yours among the trees over there!”
His laugh had an edge that cut and
irritated.
Bernice remained in the doorway of
the conservatory until the spinning
sensation had left her. Of one fact
she was certain. Maurice Engleheart,
although sickly in frame and health,
\vas alive and threatening her. Of
course he wanted money. The world
was full of somnolent blackguards
who would never come to life only for
money. She saw his past and present
in the turn of an eye, the opium rav
aged lineaments, the hollow neck and
cheeks, the palsied fingers. . . .
She walked forward and stood before
him, and she noted that he flinched at
her appearance.
“How much?” she asked, stonily. “I
must ask you to be brief.”
A red spot flamed on his cheek. It
seemed to her that he was fighting his
own wrath and fears.
“I want fifty pounds now, or not
later than midday tomorrow!”
“Give me your address. I will send it
by check tonight.”
‘‘I’ve no money to find lodging; my
address is the open ditches, Mrs.*
Kro.ner!”
Bernice paled at sound of the name
she had so long considered her own. He
laughed harshly.
“Hammersho did his best to put me
off the scent. He said you were em-

Disease Germs in Most
Unexpected Manner.
Bid Farewell to All Blood and Skin
Diseases.
The research laboratory of The S6ift
Specific Co. has collected a vast amount
cf information regarding the spread of
blood diseases. In thousands of instances
the most virulent types have been the re
sult of coming in contact with disease
germs in public places, and the apparent
ly insignificant pimple has been the
cause. It Spreads with astonishing ra
pidity, often infecting the entire system
in a few days.
It is fortunate, however, that there is
a remedy to cope quickly and thoroughly
with such a condition, and thanks to the
energy of its producers the famous
S. S. S. may now be had at almost any
drug store in the civilized world.
This preparation stands alone among
specific remedies as a blood purifier. It
i3 somewhat revolutionary in its compo
sition, since it accomplishes all that was
ever claimed for mercury, iodides, arsenic
aijd 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. These facts are
brought out in a highly interesting book
compiled by the medical department of
The Swift Specific Co., 127 Swift Bldg.,
Atlanta, Ga. It is mailed free, together
with a special letter of advice to all who
are struggling with a blood disease.

ployed as lady secretary to a rich Amer
ican named Kromer.” He jerked his
cigarette in the direction of Chilton-
hurst. “I found out over there that my
old Bernice was not playing the lady
secretary card!” •
“They told you at Chiltonhurst?”
“You can’t stop money talking, Ber
nice. You have impressed your pretty
personality upon the good old poor of
the village,” he added with a sneer. “I
j should never have found you if Ham
mersho hadn't given me the Ivromer
keyword!”
“I am not going to discuss my pres
ent position, Maurice Engleheart. Why
have^you left Hammersho’s?”
“We had a row. ... I fancy he
got hurt.”
“Why did you quarrel?” she de
manded.
“About something that couldn't inter
est you, Mrs. Kromer.” His big,
loose frame bent and swayed uncertain
ly. Bernice’s eyes kindled with rising
anger.
"I must insist. Maurice Engleheart.
Dr. Hammersho threatened to come
here tomorrow for his hundred pounds.
There is a limit to my income. What
of hammersho?”
“He won’t bother you; I give you my
word.”
“Have you disabled, killed him?” She
watched the cigarette slip from his
nerveless fingers to the wet grass. Of
Dr. Hammersho’s welfare she cared not
a straw, yet some unfathomable im
pulse goaded her to press home her
question. Her life and future lay in
the keeping of Engleheart and the Jap
anese doctor. She must know why they
had quarreled.
“Since you are here to demand mon
ey,” she went on passionately, “I must
ascertain the cause of your parting with
Hammersho. If not I shall place my
affairs in the hands of the police!”
He shook himself savagely. “There
will be no need,” he snapped out. “You
were in Hammersho’s confidence; you
gained him admission into Caleret’s
house. Will you confide that to the
police?”
“They know already. Now will you
please state the reason you left Ham
mersho?”
“Yes; he accused me of shooting
Caleret- I couldn't tolerate that.”
“You were with him, then, at the time
of the shooting?”
“It doesn’t matter. I was dragged
into the rotten business, but I swear
it was not my hand that shot Caleret.
I couldn’t hit a cow at ten paces. You
know I’m a bad shot. Hammersho is
a dead marksman!”
Engleheart paused, glancing right
and left across the wide, park-like in
closure as one in fear of pursuit. “It
was Hammersho who stole Caleret’s
Zeu stuff. Off course you know the bee
trick?”
“Bee trick!” Her mind flashed back
to the scene in the garden at the rear
of the Jap doctor’s house, when O
Shani Ma had stood watching the
swarm of dead bees lying around the
hive. # What had those innocent look
ing bees to do with the murder of
Prof. Caleret?”
.Engleheart fidgeted. The last few
hours had imposed a tremendous strain
on his nerves. He must tell her all or
nothing. And she could never seek to
deprive him of the precious grain of
super-radium in his empty tobacco
pouch. Of what use would it be to
ner?”
“It’s such an infernally unbelievable
thing!” he broke out at last, his tongue
almost forcing the words from his
parched throat. “A scheme hatched
in the brain of a half-mad Jap doctor.
You know Hammersho trained a big
bee to carry things—grains of sugar,
bits of paste stuck on a piece
of paper the size of a postage stamp.
I used to see him in the garden with
that fellow O Shani Ma . . . patient
as the devil until the be learned the
homing trick like a pigeon!” He al
most babbled the latter part of the
story, his fingers tight shut about his
buttoned-up coat.
Bernice gasped in surprise. “I saw
that heap of dead bees,” she cried.
“And I think you are mad, and that
Dr. Hammersho is a criminal degen
erate!”
Captain Engleheart shivered. His
flash of courage threatened to desert
him now, leaving him whimpering before
her, begging money for a little shelter
and opium.
“I can’t help what you think, he
faltered. “You know how Hammersho
got into the laboratory—you took him
there! I know how the bee came
home!”
“You know!”
“I was half asleep when it came buzz
ing into the room. It annoyed me.
“You killed it?” \
“Swiped it with a newspaper. Cale
ret’s' radium stuff was folded in a bit
of cigarette paper and hitched to the
bee with a thread of silk. Simple as
the devil when you see it done!”
Engleheart shivered in the rain which
now descended in slopes above the
trees. Bernice caught his arm fiercely
and drew him into the conservatory.
“You have forgotten to tell me some
thing, Maurice Engleheart. I must
hear it!” she insisted. “You fought
Hammersho for possession of Calaret’s
radium! He is no stronger than a boy!”
Engleheart’s face was livid in the
dark. The sob of the rain above made
indistinct his flurried explanations.
“He threatened my life and swore I’d
shot Calaret!”
“And you killed him?”
“I squeezed his black neck
that’s all. You can’t kill those Japs.
They’re tenacious as cats . . . and
such liars!”
He leaned against the conservatory
bench breathing heavily, his left hand
moving covertly to his side pocket.
Bernice followed his wandering fingers
as they searched within.
Some blind instinct held her speech
less as one sharing a stupendous dis
covery. Engleheart drew an old to
bacco pouch from his pocket and then
very gently opened the rubber neck
and peered inside.
A stream of violet light enshrined his
face and fingers. It lit up the row of
scarlet bulbs and tropic flowers above
his head with a supernatural brilliance.
Bernice retreated from the dazzling
arcana of light emissions, a dizzy
i thought surging through her mind.
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
DOUGLAS, Ga., April 10—After care
ful study and observation of the pres
ent system of working the Georgia con
victs on the public roads of the coun
ties of the state, I have reached the con
clusion that the present convict system
of the state is an absolute failure, and
if it is permitted to continue as it is
for the next ten years, practically every
county in the state of Georgia will have
to levy a ? tax up to the constitutional
limit, and within ten years practically
all the counties will be bankrupt. Geor
gia needs immediate relief from the
present system. The writer is not ex
pressing an opinion without careful
thought and study.
During the present system of working
the convicts on the public roads of the
counties of the state, the writer served
in the capacity of county attorney in
a south Georgia county, and had occa
sion in that capacity to become thor
oughly conversant with the entire sys
tem. In addition to this experience, I
have been making diligent inquiry for
the past few months from various other
counties, and find their conditions prac
tically the same as my own county.
The object in changing from the old
system to the new system was in good
faith by the legislators and the gen
eral public, through their sympathy at
the time the new system was enacted,
but the new system is not practical,
and cannot stand much longer. In the
change from the old convict lease sys
tem to the new system, and the demands
leading up to this change, there was
such a sentiment created through the
press and otherwise, that the general
public, As a rule, entertains the idea
that all convicts should be treated with
a similar tender consideration that
would be due to a wealthy citizen in
a firstclass sanitarium, and at the time
the new law was enacted, the public de
manded such stringent rules and regu
lations of the convicts of the state, that
it is absolutely impossible under these
rules for any of the counties to work
convicts on the roads and get enough
work out of them to pay for the actual
expense of maintaining the convicts.
The rules governing convicts require
that they be kept in camp until sunrise,
and that they be returned to camp by
sundown, and in building roads it is im
possible to keep the camps up with the
work without moving the camps practi
cally every day, and in addition to these
restrictions, during certains seasons of
the year the rules require the convicts
to be given two hours for noon. So if
the convict gang should work three or
four miles from the camp, about one-
third of £he time is lost in going to
and from the camps and at noon.
The restrictions of whipping the con
victs and making them work have been
closely drawn, and the result is that the
character of work you get out of con
victs is about half what the average la
borer would be expected to do.
The counties are required to provide
certain designated foods, medical at
tention and medicine, to pay for t»he
wardens and guards, and in addition to
this, it has become necessary, in order
that a gang might be properly equipped
for building roads, to buy expensive road
machinery, high priced mules, wagons,
and by the time we- figure all these ex
penses, together with the feed for the
teams and the convicts, wardens; and
guards, the expense becomes enormous.
The work obtained, in proportion to the
expense is very little.
Most all of the counties so far have
been engaged in working on the public
roads between county cities, and the
roads in the other sections of the coun
ties are practically impassable. The
expenses have been continually running
up, most all counties have had to levy
additional taxes, and the people, gen
erally, are complaining, and rightly so.
Most all of the counties of the state
are already deeply in debt, and are bow
rowing money to pay current expenses,
with taxes being raised every year.
This condition cannot last, and the
sooner the legislators devise some plan
of relief, the better it will be for the
general public.
I am not in a position to suggest just
how adequate relief can be effected, or
what laws it will be necessary to en
act to effect this object. My object in
writing this letter is to call attention
publicly to the tendency of the present
system, with the hope that a change may
be made before it is too late.
Yours very truly,
L. E. HEATH.

Engleheart closed the pouch suddenly
and replaced it in his pocket. ‘1 don’t
know what’s in the stuff to set the
world on fire as it s done,” he declared,
feebly. “I’ve no right to it, maybe;
neither had Hammersho.”
All Bernice’s pain and misery seem
ed to vanish at this simple confession.
Scientists stood aghast at the infamous
way Prof. Calaret had been robbed of
his life’s work and murdered. Yet here
was a faltering, semi-starved sea cap
tain carrying the most precious of
known chemical substances in an evil
smelling tobacco pouch. Dr. Rochwarne
had declared that Fabian’s one chance
lay in the instant application of the
Zeu formula to his life-destroying ma
laise. This God-given remedy was in
Maurice’s keeping. What did he intend
doing with it? Was it for sale?
She turned to him while the mad
beatings of her heart threatened to suf
focate her. “I would like to help you,”
she said, faintly. “But . . . you
must promise to go from here.”
“Give me what money you have in
your purse,” he answered huskily. “I
must have shelter from this beastly
weather. I’m a martyr to nerve pains.
Life in the east never quite agreed
with me, as you know.”
She considered him for a moment be
fore putting her next question. Physi
cally he was no stronger than a well-
grown boy. Hi sface was drawn and
hollow, his whole physical being seemed
to depend on drugs and freedom from
hardships and toil. She must not let
him wander away with the Zeu in his
keeping. There was surely a way . .
“You are very foolish to carry the
evidence of Caleret’s murder in your
pocket,” she hazarded. “The police
are watching Dr. Hammersho’s house.
They may even have shadowed you
here.”
He shrugged his lean shoulders and
drew his wet coat about him.
j “I must chance it. Besides,” he :
j turned to the conservatory door and
| stared shiveringly at the downpouring
J rain. “Those Scotland Yard men art
a fuddle-headed crowd. And I’m prac
tically unknown to them.”
She followed him to the floor, white-
lipped and alert. “I r m anxious for your
life, Maurice Can’t you understand?
That radium stuff you are carrying
abiut will implicate you in that lab
oratory crime You ought not to
carry it! Are you listening?”
He was, and his wavering eyes caught
something of her burning eagerness.
“Give me some money,” he said
slowly; “all you have about you.”
She emptied her purse into his shak
ing hand. She would have spilled
Fabian’s wealth at his feet to gain her
purpose. He counted the cash delib
erately.
“Four pounds, eighteen, and some
coppers, Berny!” He regarded her
askance.
She drew a couple of bank notes from
a pocket in the purse and thrust them
into his hand. “I think you had better
leave your tobacco pouch with me un
til—”
“Until when?” He buttoned up his
coat with the air of one about to de
part.

WASHINGTON, April 9.—President
Wilson let it be known today that the
federal government would not interfere
with pending legislation in California
by which aliens who have not declared
their intention of becoming naturalized
as American citizens, are prohibited
from owning land or property. He com
municated this decision informally to
Representative Raker.
Though the measure is aimed pri
marily at the Japanese, the fact that it
makes no discrimination of race in its
contents, as well as the desire of the
president not to interfere with the sov
ereignty of the state, has precluded any
action by the federal government at
this time.
The president was told by Mr. Raker
that the people of California would en
act the law through the initiative and
referendum if the legislature refused.
He declared the sentiment was five to
one in favor of the law.
The president’s position had been
merely that of an inquirer for informa
tion, after protests by the Japanese gov
ernment.
Representative Raker had shown the
president a telegram from J. B. Sanford,
a leader in the senate of California, re
questing that the federal government
should not interfere with local affairs.
The president’s decision today, Mr.
Raker said, would find approval in Cal
ifornia.
President Wilson told Mr. Raker the
whole question touched the sovereignty
of the state and that he left it to Cali
fornia to make such legislation as it
deemed advisable for itself, with the
hope, however, that no law would be
passed which was in conflict with any
treaty obligations of the federal govern
ment. It is believed that the protest of
the Japanese government will be held
in the state department until the legis
lation is actually passed. Then the con
stitutionality of the measure may be
tested in the United States courts by
Japanese residents in California.
