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.

Belgium, April 14.—• Bill boards all over this city were cov ered today with red posters on which v/as printed the Socialist call to the workmen to strike for manhood suf frage and the equal vote by laying down their to^Js on Monday, when it is expected that more than 300,000 men will quit work in Belgium. The placards added: “This is a strike of folded arms and not of raised fists. Respect the lib erty of those who wish to work and the authorities will also respect the free dom of those who wish to cease work.” Complete passiveness is urged upon the strikers by the Socialist unions, which tell them that “injury done to our opponents is injury done to our cause.” Government posters have been hung by the side of the Socialist placards and these quote in full article 310 of the penal code, respecting those inter fering with the right to work. Cotton Mill to Pulpit, Atlanta Man’s Record MISSISSIPPI BEGINS FALLING AT MEMPHIS Facts in Nature Fall of Nearly Two Feet Is Registered Over Night at Tennessee City NEW YORK, April 14.—From a child 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 of that congregation tomorrow. He succeeds the Rev. Ezra T. Sanford, who died last summer. Mr. Gunn is described as “a fitting ex ample of what an American boy can do through perseverance.” He was born in Atlanta, Ga. His parents ’had been well 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.

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 und shelter,” he stated hoarsely. “I did not know he was a confirmed opium smoker or he 'would not have entered my house.” Bernice perceived instantly that she had plunged into a fresh quagmire of difficulties. She dared not think" that 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 leaden-hued eyes staring vacuously at the ceiling. In her trepidation she opened the window and raised the blinds allowing a current of air to circulate through the stuffy apartment. The Ger man breathed heavily, a strain pf men tal excitement in his slow movements as he stood guard in the passage out- (By Associated Press.) 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. COTTON MILL OWNERS FIGHT TRUSTEE’S SUITS GRIFFIN, Ga.. April 12.—The stock- Hooks and Wiggins.

Many thousand dollars are involved in this county alone. 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. (Continued in Next issue.)

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.

MOODY LADY NOT MOODY For Five Years, Misd Davis, oi Moody, Was in Terrible Plight, But She is Now , in Fine Spirits Efforts Are, Made to Harmon ize Street Car Officials and Striking Workers (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 fering' women and girls.’’ We do not a^s.. you to acoept our statement as to the merit of Cardui, th« woman’s tonic.
