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- Pimples Source of Great Danger May be Means of Absorbing 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.

MEADOYOLECO, Dept^. 130 CHICAGO 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.

CI^ca 1 ^oj 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. (Continued in next issue.) 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. & m t ever MANUEL BELIEVES HE’LL Former King of Portugal Says Despotism Is Ruining the Country LISBON; Portugal, April 10—Former King Manuel, of Portugal, declares: “I foresee that I shall soon return to the throne of Portugal,” in an inter view published today in the newspaper Correio which, however, does not dis close his whereabouts.
