THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA„ TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1913.
The Half-God
by albert dorrinoton.
CHAPTER XI.
He made no stir and for several mo
ments she viewed with a feeling akin
to nausea the tigTit-clenched fists, the
unshaven jaws of the man she had once
sworn to love and honor.
Then her glance wandered to the little
box beside the lamp while her fingers
opened it instinctively. It was filled with
a peculiar dark sticky substance similar
to that wliich oozed over the bowl of
the log-stemmed pipe. She put it down
with a shudder and turned again to
the open-mouthed figure on the bed.
Where was the tobacco pouch? She
removed the glove from his right hand
deliberately -and passed her fingers
softly over his breast pocket. She re-
membe.red seeing him place it there the
night previously when he hurried from
the grounds of Holmwood housq.
Engleheart stirred uneasily at the- al
most imperceptible contact of her fin
gers, then with a long, drawn breath
changed his position on the bed. Ber
nice waited for a period of six heart
beats before venturing again. Her fin
gers had located a bulging surface in
side the breast pocket, but now*, with
Engleheart lying on his right side, its
extraction would be a difficult busi
ness.
In that moment she remembered all
that she had read and heard concerning
the methods adopted by famous pick
pockets.' With Engleheart's whole weight
bearing on his right side she saw no
immediate way of drawing out ^ the
pouch. . To wait until he awoke or
drowsed off the effects of the drug
might imperil her chance of recovering
the Zeu. Also she was obsessed by the
thought of Herr Scholfer’s return.
The broom upstairs made indistinct
noises as it passed from room to room.
There were no other sounds about the
house and Bernice wondered with a pal
pitating heart whether the rest of Schol-
fcr’s boarders were addicted to the
use of opium or spent their mornings
in darkened rooms. What kind of a
house was it?
She half turned to the door and then
looked back quickly at the almost su
pine Engleheart. A crjy of terror es~
caped her. From his breast there glow
ed a violet colored flame that seemed to
twine and writhe about the muscles of
his throat. 'It ilumined his face with
a supernatural brilliance revealing each
drug-ravaged lineament to her affright
ed eyes. She had seen phosphorus
glow in the dark, but never before had
she encountered So terrible an aura of
light coming from the interior of a
man’s clothes. Engleheart’s very bones
and sinews were revealed In Its searen-
ing radiance. She retreated from the
bed, her hands thrust out as though to
shield her face from a destroying power.
Engleheart’s lips moved and twitched;
his face contracted suddenly as though
a fierce pain had penetrated the web
of his opium trance. His eyes opened
in a round terrified stare, the muscles
of his face relaxing and contracting in
acute agony.
A dry whimper of fear broke from
him. Struggling to his elbow he glareu
round the dark room, sweat dripping
from his brow and throat.
“Help * * * My God, I am burn
ing!” His hand went to his side while
his startled glan<*e turned down to the
hole of light that flamed from his
clothes. “For God’s sake give me som*
water!” he shouted. “Something is
burning into my bones. Quick, quick,
* * * water for pity’s sake!”
Bernice bent near, a white fear in her
eyes. “Take off your coat! that ra
dium stuff has penetrated the lining’.*’
With superhuman strength he tores
himself from the coat, casting it across
the room with a suppressed oath. The
hole of flame followed the discarded
garment, shining, radiating with almost
meteoric splendor where it lay.
Engleheart croueheu gasping on the
bed, his hand pressed to his .side, his
livid features contracted in pain.
“I—I want a doctor, Bernice,” he
gasped. “I don’t know why you came
here. Something—something set that in
fernal Zeu alight. It struck me like a
redhot shell. I want a doctor.”
Bernice heard the house door open
suddenly, and then the sound of a
man’s heavy footsteps in the passage
outside. She looked out of the room
and called quickly.
“Mr. Engleheart has met with an ac
cident. Could y’ou. telephone for a
doctor?”
A heavy-shouldered German blundered
forward, gaping at her in profound won
der. He was fifty years of age, and the
flesh under his eyes moved at each step.
He peeped furtively into the dark room
at Engleheart.
“What haf you been doing?” . he
growled. “You vas alride dis morn
ings.”
Engleheart squirmed. “I put some
chemical stuff into my tobacco pouch,”
he choked. “It’s burnt a hole in my
lungs; it’s eating through me. Get a
doctor, quick!”
The German's slow-moping eyes wan
dered from the bed to the coat with the
flaming hole 4 - in its center. His heavy
brows puckered; then he looked somber-'
ly at Bernice while Engleheart writhed.
“Dees is a funny business, madame.
What is der nature ob dot chemical
matter,” he indicated the flaming iri-
• descence with a thick forefinger.
♦ Kneeling beside .it fearfully, and

scarce daring to breathe, she discerned
how the tiny crumb of burning Zeu
h^d penetrated the rubber tobacco
pouch; saw the fluorescent rays strik
ing like a gas flame through the worn
shreds of the coat. It was this million
eyed god of the laboratory which had
killed its violator as swiftly as shot or
knife. Yet in the hands of the radium
specialist it became a salve of Christ-
like potency and power!
Then it came to her that the police
would seize and use it as evidence
against her or the dead man with the
contorted face!
Kneeling beside the coat she probed
the flaming speck of super-radium with
her penknife, and instantly a needle
ray of light quivered along the blade.
She caught her breath quickly and lis
tened. The ‘slow,- heavy footsteps of the
German in the next roorfi were painfully
audible as he padded sullenly up and
down the carpeted floor, his mind run
ning on the lamentable turij of events.
Bernice took out her - gold watch and
opened the .case steadily; then with
the point of her penknife raised the
crumb of Zeu from the open tobacco
pouch. It shone like a star on the steel
point, illumining her beautiful face
with a gnostly brilliance. Slowly, wim
the craft of a jeweler, she deposited
it between the two gold cases and closed
the watch with a snap.
The Zeu rays might penetrate rot
ten * rubber or old weather-worn gar
ments, but it could not strike her
through the gold armor in which it
was now sheathed.
Returning to her chair she took a
small diamond brooch from her collar
and examined it for several moments
critically then with her penknife forced
back the three gold claws which held
the gem in place. Returning to the coat
on the floor, she placed the jewel in the
neck of the tobacco pouch and drew
back.
It had become evident that doctor and
police would miss the grain of Zeu from
the pouch. The diamond would act as
an excellent substitute and while merely
confusing the radium experts, would
not in any way thwart the ends of jus
tice—at least so it seemed to the desper
ately driven Bernice.
Something of the Zeu’s tremendously
active properties had been transmitted,
to the rubber pouch; flashes of ultra-
marine and scarlet surrounded the dia
mond, lighting up its facets with a rosy
nimbus of color.
She gazed for a moment at the brooch
in her hand, then stopping near the fire
place dropped it behind the iron draught
plate.
From the street outside came the slow
grind of traffic, the itinerant calls of
passing hawkers and newsboys. It
seemed ages since she had entered
Scholfer’s house. Her mind had become
numbed, deadened to all sense of fear or
pain. Englehart’s tragic end scarcely
moved her now. She felt her utter help
lessness in the fierce conflict of events.
She could not tell what would happen
next. Like a player among thieves and
sharpers she made desperate bids for Fa
bian’s life. And each fresh deal threat
ened disaster and ruin. Of Imry she
dared not think. Too much reflection
now might push her into the gulf where
insanity and oblivion lay. That might
be welcomed later when she had' done
her work and her shattered nerves cried
for respite against the furious wheels
of Destiny’s ear.
The sun had passed over the low house
roofs where the ugly chimney pots
smeared the air with their murky breath.
Scholfer had long ceased his premenad-
ings in the adjoining room and had gone
upstairs. The door bell rang sharply; it
seemed ages before the fat overworked
servant responded.
Bernice peeped into the passage, and
caught a black and white impression of
two police officers standing in the nar
row hall.
Scholfer’s feet thumped on the stairs
as he hurried down to meet them.
CHAPTER XII.
It was a mild-eyed, gray-haired police
sergeant who confronted Bernice in the
room where Maurice Englehart lay.
Scholfer breathed in his wake empha
sizing by word and gesture his utter in
ability to explain the real cause of his
lodger’s unexpected end.
“He had nodings to eat all der time
he was here. All he wanted was der
leedle lamp beside his bed, and some
black coffee when he woke up.”
The sergeant nodded and coughed sol
emnly, his notebook held to thd win
dow light while his eyes explored Ber
nice’s fashionable clothes and half-
averted face. He coughed again, his^
pencil pressed to his stiff draw lip.
“You say that this lady was the only
one present at the time of Engleheart’s
death?” he questioned mildly.
The German’s eyes kindled. ‘T was
nod in der room, sir. Madame was here
when I came home. She told my servant
dot she was a friend of Mr. Engle
heart.” v
The sergeant made an entry in his
notebook, pinched his lip thoughtfully
as he contemplated the coat lying near
the foot of The bed. Raising it he took
out the tobacco pouch gingerly and
stared in a puzzled way at the flame-
lit diamond within. Scholfer touched
his arm warningly.
“Dot is radium, sir. It haf been der
cause of dis poor fellow's death. Der
doctor explain how it eat into der flesh.
I would nod handle it for a tousand
pounds!"
The sergeant with thirty years’ ex
perience of London criminal society was
not likely to meddle unthinkingly with
fluorescent flesh poisons. Yet he was
intensely attracted by the peculiar ir
idescent glow emanating from the Zeu-
scorched tobacco pouch.
Taking a pair of tongs from the fire
place he deposited the pouch on the
table beside the bed. With his knife
he severed the neck of his pouch, al
lowing the diamond to fall out.
“Not much radium about that!” he
ventured dryly, holding the hard stone
between finger and thumb.
The German stared incredulously at
the scintillating gem and then at the
Zeu-burnt coat pocket. “It ees a funny
business, sir,” he growled. “I can make
noddings of it all.”
It was not evident to the gray-haired
police sergeant how a nimbus of light
could remain in the tobacco pouch-after
the diamond had been extracted. The
presence of the radium in the pouch, he
argued, could not have caused Engle
heart’s death. The solution of the mys
tery, he felt certain, lay in the deadly
phosphorescent glow within the pouch.
The doctor had adduced from the pe
culiar light emission^ the presence of
some pow.erful radio-active substance
within. The circumstance was not for
him to decide. He turned to Bernice.
“Have you known Engleheart long,
madame?” he inquired.
“About seven years. He has been
abroad,” she spoke with scarcely a
tremor in her voice, although her heart
leaped madly in terror of his next
question.
He fumbled awkwardly with his note
book as one striving to bring a com
plicated situation into line. The doctor
had attributed the cause of death to
acute radium-poisoning. After all it
was a case for the coroner to decide.
His business lay witli this quiet spoken
lady who had sat alone with Engleheart
during his last moments. He could not
/affect her detention for that reason until
the case had been thoroughly investi
gated.
He tapped his notebook pensively,
made one or two entries at random,
and then resumed his questions.
“It may be necessary for you to ap
pear at the inquest, madame. I must
request your name and address?”
“Bernice Kromer. 1 live at Holm-
wood house, Chiltonhurst.”
The police sergeant flushed to his hair
roots at her answer. Fabian Kromer’s
name was well known to him, and he
marvelled that the wife of Chilton-
hurst’s wealthiest resident should be
mixed up in a sordid little mystery of
the Engleheart type. While his eyes
explored her covertly his memory went
back to certain occasions when he had
seen her driving with the American mil
lionaire into the city. . . .
To the* waiting Bernice it seemed an
unconscionable time before he had en
tered her name and address in his note
book. Her one thought was to escape
from the house and the lifeless face of
Maurice Engleheart. The voice of the
sergeant reached her through the
echoes of her shouting mind.
“You will be sure to hear from us,
*Mme. Kromer. This affair is quite be
yond me.” He held up her diamond
for an instant’s scrutiny. “How a thing
like this could cause a man’s death
puzzles me,” he added.
“Der .vas der radium rays!” the Ger
man prompted, following him to the
door. “You must not overlook dot, sir.”
The sergeant, after muttering a few
words in the doorway anent the in
sufficiency of evidence, departed has
tily. * Bernice was out in the passage
before he had reached the street gate,
preventing with her outstretched hand
the German closing the door.
“You vas goin’?” he growled, an un
mistakable look in his pale eyes.
“The officer has my address. Why
should 1 stay a moment?*longer?” She
did not remove her gloved hand from
the door. A frantic desire to breathe
the air of the street was upon her. She
did not like Scholfer’s manner; he re
minded her of an ex-brigand some one
had pointed out to her in the streets
of Turin, when traveling with Fabian
once.
His pressure on the door increased;
there was a livid menace in bis un
healthy features. “I haf somecTThgs to
say privately. Mm.e. Kromer. Come
into der room und I will nod keep you
a minute!”
The terror of the dark room and
Mau,rice Engleheart gripped her. Once
the house door closed /she would be at
Scholfer’s mercy. She felt the heavy
pressure of his arm, caught his hot to
bacco laden breath as he forced his
body between her an^ the doo-r. With
a cry^of fear she twisted round his half
stooping form and wrenched free from
the threshold.
She stood panting in the fading sun
light, her face crimson with anger and
shame.
“How dare you!” she choked. “What
right have you to prevent me leaving
The house after the police have gone?”
He glared at her from the step, his
congested features alive with the seri
ousness of his act. One or two passers
halted near the outer gate to stare at
the white-lipped Bernice and the Ger
man.

BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. April 21.—As
the Wilson administration approaches
its first real critical test, that of push
ing the Underwood tariff bill through
the senate, there are evidences that a
master hand is at work in smoothing
out all personal differences of opinion
among the big men of the Democratic
party who are associated with the presi
dent. This effort is being directed at
establishing a perfect understanding,
not alone between the president and his
cabinet advisers, .but also between the
executive and legislative branches of
the government.
The necessity of perfect harmony in
the tariff program and other administra
tion measures which are to be pushed
through to a successful conclusion was
emphasized upon the White House with
the launching of an attack upon the
president and his course of action by
William R. Hearst. The Hearst attack
which was expected, but not so soon,
served to hasten the negotiations for
harmony and to put into motion an am
bitious program calling for “peace at
any cost” between the powerful party
leaders upon whose shoulders rests the
responsibility for the success or failure
of this .administration.
While none of the big men on the in
side of the administration councils will
discuss it, the surface indications all
point to the conclusion that Mr. Hearst
has been set aside, either as a man
who cannot be counted a Democrat or
as one who cannot be “harmonized.”
Whatever the case, the harmony move
ment has been instituted and is being
prosecuted without including the New
Y'ork publisher.
HEARST’S ATTACK RESENTED.
While President Wilson has refused
publicly to discuss the broadside fired
at him by Mr. Hearst. it is generally, un
derstood that the president ddeply re
sented the criticism and felt, above all.
that it revealed, at the very outset of
his administration, a studied purpose on
the part of Mr. Hearst to be antagonis
tic and actively hostile. On high au
thority, it may be tsated. the president
himself vetoed the suggestion that the
olive branch of peae be extended to the
publisher.
The first conspicuous result of the
harmonv program was the bringing to
gether of Secretary of State Bryan and
Speaker Clark. No personal desire on
the part of either Secretary Bryan or
Speaker Clark made the reconciliation
possible. The establishment of a truce
between tell two men and the ending of
their feud was engineered entirely for
the purpose of mending a break in the
Democratic lines that constantly threat
ened great danger to the administration.
It was this aspect .of the case that was
presented to both men when the negotia
tions bringing them together first were
undertaken.
PEACE PROTOCOL SIGNED.
Following close on the peace proctool
as giened by Secretary Bryan and
Speaker Clark is the development that
as the understanding now exists noth
ing is to he permitted to bring about a
break between President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan. Neither the presi
dent nor the secretary would discuss
the report, within the week spread
broadcast over the country, that sharp
differences of opinion existed between
the president and his cabinet premier
and a break between th two was immi
nent. Tjie attitude of both men was
that to make public comment on the
report might cause -ome people to be
lieve there was truth in the stories of
friction.
The intimate friends of Secretary
Bryan are saying they are prouder of
him just now than at any time in his
career. In explanation theysay that
Secretary Bryan has determined to
demonstrate that he is big enough to
sink his personal ambitions “in the in
terests of * u -* country as well as of the
present Democratic administration.”
Up to date one of the marvels of the
present national regime is the manner
in which Secretary Bryan is subordinat
ing himself to the White House. He
does not alone ceem to be doing this
willingly, but every studiously. In
furnishing information concerning the
business of the department of stated Mr.
Bryan is establishing something of a
record for cautiousness. He has
made it a policy to let all announce
ments of importance come from the
White House. Once the president pub
licly gives out any information touch
ing the affairs, of the state depart
ment Secretary Bryan talks freely. But
until the president talks % Secretary
Bryan seals his lips.
BRYAN LOOKS AHEAD.
The fair interpretation of this policy,
however, seems to be that Bryan like
President Wilson and the other leaders
in this administration are looking ahead.
Secretary Bryan still has presidential
ambitions lurking in his bosom. This
he has confided to his intimate
friends since taking office under Presi
dent Wilson. But Secretary Bryan
| realizes, and so stated emphatically as
! far as the Democratic party is con-
| cerned there will be no 1916 or even
1920, unless the Wilson administration
| makes good. And that idea seems to
j be the idea actuating the other Demo-
ractic leaders and is the inspiration for
the general harmony movement.

SMOKING TOBACCO
‘rollings” in each S-cent muslin sack)
‘Bull” Durham has been the.standard smoking tobacco of the world for three
generations! It is the same today as it was 53 years ago—just pure, good, honest
tobacco with the natural tobacco fragrance—rich, mellow and satisfying—unspoiled
by “processes” or doctoring of any kind.
‘Bull” Durham never was and never will be packed in costly painted tins, and
is not sold with “premiums.” “Bull” Durham smokers don’t have to be coaxed
or bribed to smoke this grand old tobacco. They know that the smoker has to pay
but he can't smoke them. They are proud of the plain,
handy old muslin sack that “Bull” Durham

is all in the tobacco—where it belongs !
Get a 5-cent muslin sack at the nearest

over 352,000,000 of these sacks were handed

Strike Is Costing
Belgium $2,000,000
Every Day It Lasts
(By Associated Press.)
BRUSSELS, Belgium, April 21.—
Twelve million dollars is the figure
j compiled in manufacturing circles of
; Belgium’s loss in the first six days of
| the strike for equal political rights,
j which has been joined by about 400,-
! 000 men, half the male working popula-
j tion of the country. »
j Two-thirds of this loss of $2,000,000
i a day falls, according to the Socialist
| trade union leaders, on the employers
j and supporters in existing systems.
The organizers of the strike affirm that
the men by exercising self-derrial can
hold out as long as the capitalists
are willing to endure deprivation of
their dividends for political reason.
All indications are that the strike
will continue for several days.
The printers of the capital struck at
midnight but as the nwespapers were
practically ready for publication at
that hour, all appeared this morning.
Even the men employed on the Social
ist organ, Le Peuple, walked out, but
enough will be permitted to stay to
print a sheet containing strike news.
Some of the evening papers came out
today in reduced form.
The strike also extended to the tai
lors in Brussels and there is a marked
increase in the total of men who have
joined the movement.
EDUCATORS DISCUSSING
REVOLUTIONARY PROPOSAL
Whitfield Demands Abandon
ment of “Effete Classic-
alism” in Voice
RICHMOND, Va., April 18.—Educa
tors assembled here in the national con
ference for education in the south are
discussing today what the conservatives
call revolutionary proposals.
The demand of Dr. II. L. Whitefield,
fur the complete abandonment of “effete
classicalisfn” in the public schools and
the ruthless substitution of vocational
training from the kindergarten up is
the topic. Debate upon it will be re
newed before the “side” conference for
the education of women in the country
late today.
•Equalization of assessments and a
centralized, scientific system of tax col
lection is being worked' upon today
by the conference on taxation.
The general session of the whole con
ference will be devoted again today to
the practical development of Walter H.
Page’s abstract proposition that co-oper
ation and construction are superior to
competition and destruction in educa
tion. •
