He passed from the conservatory
slowly, while Bernice remained spell
bound, afrahVto move or cry after him.
She had said too n\ucli already. It
was possible that Maurice, Engleheart
would find a buyer for his grain of
v:eu among the scores of unscrupulous
medical specialists or wealthy scien
tists of the city.
And then . . - what of Fabian?
Roc.hwar;ie had promised him a chance
of life if only an infinitesimal quantity
of Zeu could* be used in the operation.
Surely no woman had ever been faced
wtih so awkward a problem!
The red danger signals flashed from
her heart to brain, filling her with ufi-
mentionable terror. Fabian must be
given a chance. His life was worth
something to humanity. Engleheart Was
merely an opium-shattered wreck a

no move false deals, no losing hazards.
Her nimble brain was surely | match
for his besotted faculties. bhe be
trayed scarcely a sign of breathlessness
or haste as she drew alongside his
shambling figure.
He halted and regarded her m sus
picious wonder. “It's a long time since
any one ran after roe! _he declared
hoarsely. “What sent you?
Bernice viewed his ragged clothes
and rain-soaked appearance with some
thing of compassion.
“You are taking a risk in carrying
that radium extract, Maurice. Few
medical men know how to handle it
properly. When misused,” she went
on gravely, “it becomes a deadly irri
tant. Your tobacco pouch may not
protect you against its poison rays!”
A malicious grin stayed on his lips.
“I’ll chance the poisoning, Bernice.
Good night!”
He slouched forward down the ave
nue, but she was not to be lightly
shaken from her purpose. "Without fear
she caught his sleeve ai}d held him
in the path.
“You have no right to Professor Cal-
eret’s property! You will leave it in
my keeping or I shall telephone for the
police!”
“That might affect us both,” he an
swered steadily. “Your own character
doesn’t stand very well in the affair,”
he added with a sneer. “You are the
person who took Dr. Hammersho into
Caleret’s house!”
The counter threat steadied Bernice.
Nothing was to be gained by harsh
words. It occurred to her in a frac
tion of time that there might be a ten^
der side to his nature. If she appealed
to him it must be by way of the truth.
And in spite of his apparent brusque
ness he appeared willing to listen to
her statements.
“You know,” she went on in a changed
voice, “that Fabian Kromer assisted,
•Professor Caleret in producing the grain
of super-radium. Only his bankers
know to what extent.”
“A thing like that puzzles me.” En-
gl^heart volunteered with a smile.
“Heaping money into a crucible in re
turn for a blamed spectrum of light!”
Bernice caught her breath sharply
as one under the surgeon’s knife. “Fa
bian has probably six weeks to live.
Yesterday a Swiss specialist told him
that his one hope lay in the use of Cal-
eret’s Zeu. Without it his case is in
operable.”
Maurice Engleheart laughed outright.
“I like your way of putting things,
Berny. I fancied this Zeu stuff was a
mystery to the medical profession.
How on earth could any doctor tell
whether it would be of any use in Fa
bian’s case?” he demanded.
“Because this doctor, Rochwarne, was
Caleret’s associate and confidant. The
professor long ago predicted that his
discovery wopld annihilate a certain
group of fatal maladies which at pres
ent baffle the modern surgeon. It was
largely for this reason that Fabian
financed the experiments.”
Maurice seemed taken aback at her
announcement. His deep set eyes shifted
uneasily as one in conflict with a soul-
grappling thought. Bernice’s face was
a mere shadow in the dark avenue. Yet
in that moment of self introspection he
saw how far she was above him. Even
now with the sickly taste of opium in
his brain he could feel his long dead
passion surging to new life. His starved
soul cried out for a woman’s love and
sympathy. Of Jiis wretchedness she
cared nothing, felt less. Her one aim
was the rescuing of Fabian Kromer
from the grave, Fabian, with his mil
lions and his preposterous claims to her
love. Through the mad tumult of ideas
and passions he heard her voice plead
ing steadily—for the millionaire’s life;
and each word uttered on Fabian’s be
half struck like poison into his drug-
shattered nerves.
“You see how his life depends on
that crystal of Zeu! What use can
you make of it, Maurice Engleheart? Its
very presence is a danger to you and
your friends. It may give Fabian life,
health, the power to benefit his fellow
creatures. I do not think,” she went
on passionately, “there is a man or wom
an in the world who bears him malice.
All his life has been dedicated to the
advancement of science, medicine, and
art. Last winter he clothed and fed
half the starving people of Twyford
and Fendon!”
yhe stretched out her hand beseech
ingly, sought to stay his restless move
ments as he turned sullenly toward the
lodge gates. i
“I’ll hand it to the police!” he de- j
dared fiercely. “You have i\o more j
right to it than I!”
“I know, I know!” she almost sobbed.!
“But can’t you understand, Maurice,
that Professor Caleret intended the Zeu
for Fabian? If you hand it to the po
lice our opportunity is gone’”
“You are prepared to give your soul |
for this American husband! What of |
me?” he asked bitterly. “Have you i
( “You have no right to cling to this
Fabian Kromer. Ills dollars attracted
you .... wait, Berny Engleheart! My
time is coming!”
He was gone from the path and was
out of the gates before she realized her
dilemma. For a breath-giving space she
waited, scarce daring to follow until he
had reached the road. Dressed only
in light evening costume, she ran to the
lodge and knocked loudly at the door
It was opened quickly by Baxter, who
appeared to have been an interested ob
serve of the scene in the avenue.
Bernice signed frantically to him.
“A man left the grounds a moment
ago, Baxter. I want you to follow him
at once .... It is very important. And
I shall not overlook your assistance 1ft
the matter,” .-:ho panted.
Baxter had not been a lodgekeeper for
thirty years without comprehending
something of the situation. His mis
tress was in difficulties, and it was his
good fortune to be ready at the call.
He left the lodge with the stealth of an
old gamekeeper, and, following the di
rection given by Bernice, was soon in
the wake of tho nervously striding En
gleheart.
h Bernice returned to tlie house half de
spairingly, her clothes dripping with
Vain. Her one hope now was to keep
Engleheart in view, and, if possible, to
make another effort for trie life-giving
grain of super-radium.
Changing her clothes swiftly, she in
quired of her maid whether Fabian had
retired. The girl informed her that Mr.
Coombes, the family solicitor, was with
Fabian in the study. Bernice sat by
the bedroom fire and listened dully to
the wind-driven rain as it beat against
the w r ide casement. Down the drive she
saw the lodge lamp grow white and dull
through the sheeted mists.
The beauty of Holmwood interested
her no longer. Yesterday she had
bfeathed the scent of its flower-edged
lawns, had viewed with a certain joy of
ownership the priceless works of art
contained in each^room and corridor.
Now she could only think of Imry and
Fabian and count the slow moving
hours which separated her frdrh the
tragic end.
Her maid had gone from the room,
carrying Bernice’s rain-drenched clothes
to the housekeeper’s care. She did not
return hurriedly to her mistress, but
lingered in the hall to whisper a few
words to one of the under maids. The
hall porter approached, card tray in
hand.
“A lady to see Mme. Kromer,” he
stated hurriedly. “You’d better take the
card.”
The maid hurried upstairs, and a.
moment or two later Bernice was star
ing white tipped at the card, which bore
Miss Allingham’s name and address.
She had come to tell her something
concerning Irmy. And at so late an
hour! It was after 10 o'clock!
She found the mistress of the Chil-.
tonhurst kindergarten in a state bor
dering on nervous prostration.
“What is the matter?” Bernice in
quired. “Is Imry ill?”
Miss Allingham was not given to ex
hibitions of emotional hysteria. Ber
nice’s sternness of manner steadied her
somewhat, and brought her to the point.
Her story was soon told. % Imry had
gone to his room three hours before in
charge of a servant, who placed him in
a cot opposite a window with a south
aspect. At 9 Miss Allingham, accom
panied by her sister, had gone the
rounds of the establishment as usual,
to assure herself that her little pupils
were comfortable for the night. A
glance into Imry's cot proved it empty !■
His clothea had gone with him. A
hurried search through the school and
grounds gave no hint of the child’s
whereabouts. He had simply vanished
without a sign!
Bernice listened and froze at each
word. Miss Allingham sat stiff in her
chair as one to whom an unkind word
would mean suffering and pain.
‘*This—this sudden disappearance will
bring/ the police into my school, Mme.
Kromer,” she went on w’ith suppressed
tears. JTt will ruin me and my sister.
All my pupils will be taken away when
it is known that a case of child stealing
has occurred in my kindergarten!”
Bernice clung to her chair desper
ately. “We must leave the police out
of it, Miss Allingham. I ought to have
told you that Imry had been brought
up among foreigners and that^he may
have developed peculiar traits of char
acter.”
“He was hardly strong enough' to get
out of the window!” Miss Allingham
said in a quavering voice. “There is
an eighteen feet drop below. It would
have been quite impossible.”
Bernice was anxious to avoid a -hue
and cry after Imry. It would not ben
efit Miss Allingham or herself. That

laborer in a cotton factory to the pulpit
of the North Baptist church, No. 234
West .Eleventh street, is the story in
brief of the life of the Rev. John R.
Gunn, who begins his duties as pastor

to do, but they lost their money by the
Civil war. The boy was compelled, at
the age of eight years, to go to work
in a cotton factory at wages of $3 a
month.

It was as though he had flung some

connected with the boy’s disappearance
she could not believe—that gentleman
being too preoccupied with his own Im
mediate needs to bother about the boy.
A cup of coffee, offered with many
soothing words of advice, steadied Miss
Allingham. She left the house, prom
ising an early visit next morning. Aft
er she had gone Bernice took out her
waterproof and walked down the ave
nue in the direction of the lodge. The
rain still beat up from the west, but
Bernice was unconscious of its force as
she paused at the lodge wicket. Bax
ter had just returned; his shadow was
visible on the tight drawn blinds.
The sound of her light summons
brought him to the door, cap in hand.
He had thought* fit to await her inquiry
rather than approach her personally at
the house, he explained; then he
launched ihto an account of his pur-*
suit of Engleheart.
The sea captain, after leaving the
grounds of Holmwood house, had
turned instinctively in the direction of
Chiltonhurst town with the purpose of
obtaining accommodation for the night.
Baxter had followed cautiously and
had waited while Engleheart entered a
chemist’s shop to complete a purchase.
I rom thence the shadowed man wan
dered about the town until he was at
tracted by a notice outside a boarding
house kept by a German named Schol-
fer.
After some deliberation Engleheart
had gone in and the door was closed be
hind him by a fat, Dutch-faced birl in
a servant’s garb. Baxter had waited
until he felt assured that his man had
disappeared for the night; indeed, he
had lingered in the vicinity until the
ia-st light in the boarding house was
extinguished. Whether the sea captain
wouW stay a week or a day ip the
boarding house was a matter of con
jecture.
Bernice hinted hurriedly at the mys
terious substance which Engleheart had
concealed in his tobacco pouch. She
omitted, however, all mention of the
startling incidents which put the super-
radium in Engleheart’s possession. It
occurred to her, as she spoke, that the
German was profoundly interested in
her explanations. His slow eyes wan
dered from her face to Engleheart’s and
again to the flame spot in the center of
the discarded coat.
“Himmel! It ees remarkable!” he
grunted under his breath. “Dot'* flame
was like an X-ray!”
He stepped into the room and took
hold of Engleheart’s wrist. “Vat is
der matter mid you? Vere is de pain
you gomblains off!”
Engleheart was now speechless. He
had fallen back on the pillow, clutching
his breast convulsively with both hands.
His face had grown death white as if
the torment of the light-rays had driven
the blood from his heart and brain.
The German coughed nervously. “De
man is dying!” he predicted. “Und be
fore der doctor comes we moost clear
away dese tings!” ,
He swept away the tell-tale opium
lamp and pipe together with the long
“cooking” needles and box containing
the drug. Then he steppped into the pas
sage and shouted hoarsely to the serv
ant. The girl came with a clatter down
the stairs: and Bernice listened with a
scarcely beating heart as he hurried her
away in quest of a medical practitioner.
Her thoughts ran as swift as a mill
race now. She mqst stay until the doc
tor arrived and see what was to be
done. It was questionable whether the
German would allow her to depart even
though she desired. The doctor would
ask questions, and she must answer
tfiem. She stole fearfully to the bed
side and looked into the cold gray face
of Maurice Engleheart, and again her
bewildered gaze went put to the flaming
spot in the breast of the discarded coat.
“Maurice!” She touched his wrist and
found it. cold, pulseless.
The German shambled into the room,
his eyes exploring Bernice and the
crouched up figure on the bed.
M Dot man had no right mit a deadly
chemical so near his heart,” he pro
tested gruffly. “He was a stranger to
me ondil last night. I know nodings of
his business.” He paused to clutch
Engleheart’s wrist with his own shak
ing fingers, his heavy face bent near as
if expecting to indicate the missing
pulse with his ear. He dropped the
hand almost angrily and looked askance
ai Bernice.
“Mr. Engleheart came here for rest

Maurice Engleheart had succumbed to
the effects of radium poisoning. Yet
she knew that doctors and scientists
had perished after incredible agonies
through careless handling of radio-active
substances.
He was lying quite still now, his

MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 14.—Great
er relief was given today to the flood
fighters behind the levees by the re
ports of lower stages from Luxoi^i,
eighty miles from Memphis, to a point
below Graves bayou, about twenty-
five miles south of this city.
At Memphis the gauge read 44.7, a
fall of 1.8 in the past twenty-four
hours. As Osceola the river receded
between four and five inches and at
Luxora the fall was reported at about
two inches. At St. Louis the river
was reported stationary at 26.8, while
Cairo reported a slight recession.
Official reports today indicate that
the crest of the flood is about off Bar-
field Point, about 107 miles north of
Memphis, but the two breaks near Wil
son and th e crevasse at Graves bayou
has relieved the pressure on the levees
in this stretch of the river to such an
extent that little further trouble is an
ticipated.
EASTERN ARKANSAS OVERFLOWED
According to officials of the St.
Francis levee board the water from
the breaks at Wilson already has pen
etrated farther into the interior tnan
last year, indicating that the eritire
eastern part of Arkansas from the riv
er inland to Gilmore, thirty miles dis
tant, will be overflowed.
Terrell also reports the overflow
near that town.
Cool, sunny weather today brought
additional labor to the levees through-
o t th e district and also aided in the
rescue work. Government steamers
and private craft have gone from Mem
phis to the stricken territory to bring
off flood sufferers and live stock.
Officials agree that the gravest dan
ger now lies below Memphis, when the
waters from the breaks in the Arkan
sas levees and the swollen flood from
e western rains pours into the Mis
sissippi through the St. Francis and
Arkansas rivers. South of Helena,
Ark., work on the levees is being
rushed with the hope of having the
lines of embankments from two to
three feet above the highest stages of
last year.
Engineer Covington, of the St. Fran
cis levee board, stated- today that the
situation at Wyanoke, where they had a
hard fight, had so far cleared that he
was sending a quarter-boat with 100
state convicts and live stock to the offi
cials of the White river district. It is
believed this force is needed at Madco,
where a break developed last year and
which is said to be in serious condition
now.
A consignment of 50,000 rations, was
loaded here today on the government
steamer Wyanoke and barges to be ta
ken to Roaedale, Miss., for use in that
territory.
Traffic conditions west of Memphis
had so far improved today due to the
fall in the river, that announcement was
made that service would be resumed to
day and tonight on all lines operating
out of Memphis to the west. The water
ha,s receded from the tracks between
the levee and Bridge Junction.
The St. Louis and San Francisco rail
road has been the only line operating
throughout the past two days.
Hundreds of refugees continue to ar
rive here from the flooded region in
Arkansas. • Mbre than 1,800 now are be
ing cared for at Camp Crump. It was
reported that about 2,000 persons are
held on levees and other small sections
of high ground as a result of the two
breaks at Wilson and arrangements are
being made for relief boats to go to
their rescue.
The falling water has brought great
relief to the flooded sections north of
Memphis and scores of families today
were marking arrangements to move back
into their homes. It was stated that
the gas plant would resume operations
by next Monday at the latest.

side listening, with a blank fear in his
eyes, to every passing sound.
The doctor came at last, and as he
entered the room Bernice noted a quick,
ominous flash in his spectacled eyes. He
looked once at the crouched up figure on
the bed, listened a few moments, his
finger on Engleheart’s wrist, and then
turned to the German.
“The man is dead!” he declared. “How
long has he been here?”
Bernice explained, after a breath-giv
ing pause, during which the doctor bent
near Engleheart, examining him more
closely. She referred again to the ra
dio-active element which the unhappy
man had secreted in his pocket.
Her statement brought the doctor
round from the bed, his face alive with
curiosity and interest. He raised the
coat from the floor with meticulous care,
muttering inaudibly under his breath.
“Quite a phenomenal occurrence!” he
vouchsafed, the garment held at arm’s
length. “Rut surely, surely,” he went
on, “this dazzling effulgence is—er—not
radium, or even ultra-violet rays. It
i$ too red, too fiery!”
With the coat still held at arm’s
length he told Bernice that it would be
premature for him to discuss the cause
of Engleheart’s death. At another time
and place he would submit his evidence,
fiut not before.

SENATE FILLS IN LINE
ON SWEETS AND FLEECE
Democrats of Finance Com
mittee Agree to Free Wool
and One Cent Sugar
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 14.—The sen
ate’s attitude toward President Wilson
and the new tariff bill became fairly
well defined yesterday afternoon after
another meeting of the Democratic
members cf the finance committee.
Briefly, the senate committee will
agree to accept the view of the presi
dent and the house as to free wool and
one-cent sugar, with the free in three
years ;;.ttachment, but it will exercise
its right to amend other schedules and
provisions of the bill as it thinks
best.
The conference with the president
brought a working agreement, under
are leaders have yielded certain
which both the executive and the sen-
points. The senate Democrats do not
propose to make any general increase
in the rates of the tariff bill or to
make the senate liable to the charge of
having impeded the efforts of the pres
ident and the house toward tariff re
form.
Changes will be made in many
schedules, however, the work having
been started today, with a considera
tion of the first schedule in the bill.
Some of the changes regarded as nec
essary by the senate leaders may
be carried o^er to the house and put
into the bill in the Democratic caucus
still in progress here.
The senate leaders reserve the right
to make changes after the bill reaches
the senate where they consider them
necessary to n-j^ke the tariff revision
more equitable and scientific. The de
cision to stand with the president upon
the woe i and sugar tariff issues lias
brought the various force: of Demo
cratic control into practical unity, it
is claimed. Should the president and
the house majority- refuse to accept
any change in the wool and sugar
schedule it is understood the senate
committee will lend its support to
the same program.

(3y Associated Press.)
BUFFALO, N. Y., April 14.—With
street cars running under military
guard over only ten miles of the Inter
national Railway company’s 300 miles
of track, and a general strike of all
union labor in the city threatened,
strong influences were brought to bear
today upon the corporation and its
striking car men to reach an arbitration
agreement.
Mayor Fuhrmann sought to reopen the
negotiations deadlocked last night, and
the state board of mediation began an
investigation of the whole strike situa
tion.
Moody, Texas.—In an interesting let.
ter from this plaoe, Miss Cora Davis, of
R. F. D. No. 6, Box 20, writes as follows:
“I had been taking different medicines
fer the past five years, without any
relief, and last Spring my system was so
completely run -own, and I felt so tired
and nervous all the time, hardly felt like
staying out of bed.
Friends advised me try Cardui, the
woman’s tonic, and after taking six bot
tles, I felt like an entirely different per
son. /
X was relieved of my nervousness, and
bad headaches, and could sleep soundly
all night,—something I hadn’t done for
years.
I also gained 18 pounds in weight after
taking Cardui, and am in better spirits,
and feei better, than 1 have felt for five
years.
I cannot say enough in behalf of Car
dui. It is the grandest medicine ever
discovered, and a God-sehd to all suf
