. 4 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 Author of -THE RADIUM TERRORS,” •CHILDREN OF THE CLOVEN « HOOF,” Etc.’ 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. (Continuation of Chapter XII.)

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. mm m mu imiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiminii No Other Like It e World!. 1 TN the West, as in any other part of the world, grand old “Bull” Durham is the favorite with the millions of men who know good tobacco.

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.
