Scholfer quiverefl in fear and appre
hension. “I—I beg your pardon, ma-
dame!” he declared huskily. “My foot
flipped and prevented me opening der
door quickly. I trust you will accept
my apology?”
Without answering she hurried from
the street and into her waiting car that
stood at the corner of an adjoining
road. Her one thought now was to
ring up Rochwarne, and inform him
that she had acquired the Zeu. If he
questioned how it came into her pos
session she would tell him the truth.
At the lodge gate she dismissed her
chauffeur and walked leisurely up to
the house. It was long past noon.
Everything about the hall and rooms
spoke of the stricken master lying on
his couch awaiting her return.
Fabian had taken no food during her
absence. His faint look of surprise as
she entered the room gave way to a
sigh of welcome.
“I have been left alone with my ugly
dreams,” he smiled. “A good sleeping
draught will be required tonight.”
“I should have been back earlier
OI She sat beside his couch, his limp hand
clasped in hers. She hated to frame
apologies, but since her desperate task
had been accomplished there would be
no need for further prevarications.
He stretched himself suddenly, turn
ing his lustreless eyes to her own. “I
have been counting each minute. Ber
nice, since dayoreak. Dying men ac
quire the habit in common. . . • you
see it leads to the end, to the last gate,
so to speak.”
The hot blood flowed from her heart
at his confession. The mad story of
her recent exploit almost burst from
her, to be checked only by the knowl
edge .of her power to help him. Be
tween the gold plates of her watch
shone the last divine effort of science
to eradicate disease and premature
death. Rochwarne was due now.
Even as she moved about the room she
detected the sound of new voices in the
lower apartments. The nurses had
come. From the window she saw the
auto which had brought them from
town moving slowly from the grounds.
Fabian seemed inclined to talk, and
his half heard sentences flowed upon
their past life, of the few things he had
accomplished and of the many prom
ises unfulfilled.
“If another ten years had been
granted me, Berny I could have sur
rendered with better grace. At twenty-
eight one puts down the cup of life
with a thirsty grin.”
“Fabian, I am going to promise you
another goblet to drain!” She held his
wrist almost fiercely as one imbued with
the powers of life and death. “Will you
wait, dear, until Rochwarne has Seen
you?”
“Is he. coming again?” There was a
gleam of mild surprise in his manner.
“The old chap wished me quite a formal
good-by! .All the same, dear, you’d bet
ter not promise any fresh goblets of
life. My chance went by the day Caleret
was robbed and assassinated.”
Bernice felt that she fiad said enough.
To suggest, by the merest hint, her re
cent experiences in the house of Dr.
Hammersho or the German, Scholfer,
would defeat her purpose. Fabian was
well aware that it was Caleret’s mur
derers who had been in possession of the
Zeu. How, then, could she explain her
recovery of it without owning up the sto
ry of her meeting with’ Maurice Engle-
heart?
Mr. Coombes had r.ot called, and it
was evident to Bernice that the old so
licitor preferred to maintain a discreet
silence in regard to her confession over
night.
In the hall she met .Rockwarne. The
old specialist was accompanied by a
younger man, whom he introduced to her
as Dr. Roni. Bernice’s mind flew back
to a conversation she had once heard
among hej* guests, when the name of Dr.
Roni had been mentioned in connection
with the illness of the French president.
Roni was the famous anaesthetist, whose
whole career had been dedicated to the
science of anaesthetics. He was a hand
some, lithe man, clean shaved, and con
trasting with the iron gray Rochwarne
as a finely tempered blade with a weapon
of heavier steel.
Rochware chatted like an officer buoy
ing up a forlorn hope. Bernice listened
while Roni nodded, uttering a few words
in French, from time to time. After a
while Rochwarne drew Bernice into the
study.
“I need not ask whether you have the
Zeu, iMme. Kromer. There ape indica
tions of a powerful radio-active agent
on your rings. Look!”
. Guiding her to a corner of the study,
where the blinds kept out the sunlight,
be touched her jeweled hand suggestive
ly. The white skin gave out a phosphor
escent nimbus of light that startled her.
He smiled reassuringly.
“Where is it?” he asked. “We must
be very careful, Mme. Kromer. It is
like playing with,” he paused to wrinkle
his brows, “the powers of darkness,” he
added somberly.
Bernice drew out her watch trem
blingly while the great surgeon peered
curiously at the imprisoned star of su
per-radium inside the gold case. A
mutter of astonishment escaped him as
he took the watch in his hand.
“It was to produce this that poor
Caleret spent the best and last years of
his life! You had some difficulty in re
covering it from the thieves, madame?"
he inquired under his breath.
Bernice waived his question. “The
thieves will come to justice one by
one,” she predicted. “In the mean
time. Dr. Rochwarne, my husband is
slowly succumbing to his ailment. I
have brought you this god of life and
death, this child of the crucible and
slayer of pain . . . now," she held
his hand almost fiercely, “will you do
your best for Fabian?”
Dr. Rochwarne took V silver pronged
magnet from his pocket, pressed it to
the flashing star of light between the
gold cases, and held it suspended in the
air. Filaments of purple and red dart
ed and circled round the magnet. For
a brief moment the face and eyes of the
surgeon became enveloped in a series of
color storms that ceased only when he
had sheathed the magnet in a silver
case.
“Those gamma rays are distinctively
impressive!” he said under his breath.
“Caleret produced a god from his iron
and pitch. Poor fellow!”
Bernice watched him with thrills of
terror as he placed the encased magnet
and Zeu in his pocket. She could not
banish the livid features of Maurice
Engleheart from her, mind or the radi
um-burnt clothes that spoke of the
death which came so swiftly.
Dr. Rochwarne Joined his confrere in
the hall, where the waiting nurses
stood ready Jo follow them upstairs.
Bernice watered the two specialists
Beni, the anaesthetist, bent forward, left
Beni, the anaesthist bent forward, left
hand on hip, swaying almost rhythmic
ally to each syllable uttered by the fa-
fous Swiss surgeon.
Fabian had received only a hint of
the impending operation. It was one of
Rochwarne’s principles that a patient
should not be too readily forewarned
or held in suspense. Celerity and de
spatch were his. watchwords during
critical moments.* A confidential whis
per, a few chosen words of encourage
ment to a patient, and presto! the op
eration was in progress.
He spoke quietly to Bernice; told her
she might expect a word from Fabian’s
room within the shortest possible time
limit. He ascended the stairs, with
Beni, and the nurses preceding them
leisurely, leaving Bernice alone with the
crying voices in her heart.
CHAPTER XIII.
In her' state of preoccupation Bernice
had overlooked a rather dirty looking
envelope lying in the hall rack. It was
addressed to her, and had come by the
late morning post. Something in the
big crooked handwriting sent a chill
through her overwrought senses. The
letters were almost Chinese in their
irregularity and conveyed an impression
of haste or - anger on the part of the
sender. It was from Dr. Hammersho.
“Mme Kromer, Maurice Engleheart
left my house last night after an at
tempt on my life. I confess there was
no need for me to put my head in an oak
.drawer or for him to attempt the feat of
squeezing my neck to a pulp . . . You
have guessed by this that Imry is in
my house, and you will not see him
again unless my wishes are obeyed to
the letter. Engleheart has stolen the
Zeu! You must recover it and return it
to me. I leave you to find a way to
persuade your one-time lawful husband
to comply with your wishes. In the
meantime my hand is on the pulse of
your little son. We are so poor that we
can only allow him two small biscuits a
day. Tomorrow he will be reduced to
one; the next day none at all. Your
sending money to me will make no dif
ference in Imry’s diet. I -want Caleret’s
Zeu. Understand, you choose between
it and the boy’s life. Hurry!
“Hiogi Hammersho.”
Bernice turned into her private room
and elosed the door. If her strength
had held she might have locked it to
keep out the prying eyed maids from
viewing her miserable tears. The jug
gling hand of Destiny had cast her
high and low before, but until now she
had not realized how futile were here
efforts to stop the game.
The Jap doctor had caused the spirit
ing of Imry from Miss Allingham’s
kindergarten, and wmuld use the boy
to compel her obedience. That Ham
mersho would stop at nothing to gain
his ends she was well aware. Each
hour delayed meant a stroke of torture
for the kidnaped Imry. She had seen
children slowly starved in the east—in
Tokio during the rice famine, in
Madras when the crops failed—and the
byways were thronged with living skel
etons of babes and women.
Two biscuits a day for a boy of Im-
rj/’a years! And less to follow. The
thought turned her white and cold.
She must wait and see Rochwarne and
hear how Fabian was progressing. If
the operation were successful the Swiss
specialist might return the Zeu to her
at once. She would only have to wait
a little while.
Listening, she heard soft footfalls up
stairs in the direction of Fabian's
rooms, followed by the swishing of
skirts and the nerve-alarming note of
an electric bell.
Unable to control herself she crept
out into the hall. Rochwarne had just
emerged from a room on the right and
was drying his hands on a towel held
by a waiting nurse. Dr. Roni was
an exciting game of cards.
Rochwarne met her half way up
the stairs; his face was slightly
flushed, the gray white hair disarranged
over his forehead. “The Zeu is god
and devil, Mme. Kromer!” he half
whispered. “What a discovery! What
a curative weapon!”
“Do—do you call a curative salve a
weapon?” she faltered.
“The knife is a weapon and its ef
fects are often more curative than the
whole pharmacopeia of drugs and med
icines. Fabian is doing well! ’
The news caused a flashing sensation
in her head. She did not dare to ask
whether a knife had been used during
the operation. It was the tiny crumb
of super-radium that she wanted to
hear about. What had become of it?
How was she to get it back?
“Of course, Mr. Kromer is not out
of danger,” Rochwarne went on. “The
operation was purely experimental, a
leap in the dark, as my friend Roni
puts it. Still,” h e coughed and wiped
his white mustache deliberately, “we
shall judge better toward evening.”
“You are taking the Zeu with you?”
The question almost choked her. in
her wild confusion she was aware of
Dr. Roni peering at her frdm the land
ing in a kind of apathetic curiosity.
Rochwarne sucked his lips. "I shall
stay here until 9 or 10 this evening,
i’ou must not alarm yourself, Mme Kro
mer. Your husband's life is in good
hands.”
“You have been very swift and skil
ful, Dr. Rochwarne. Fabian will re
cover; I feel that only an accident will
prevent it!” She was breathing harsh
ly, like a swimmer flung to the .crest
of a down-sweeping wave. ‘When
. . . . the time comes «|ay—may i
ask you to give me back the Zeu?”
Rochwarne stabbed her wUh his eyes.
“A week hence, a month maybe; it ail
depends on the radio-active qualities of
the element. We must apply it con
stantly. Dr. Roni stays here for that
reason. Oh, yes, my dear madame.
the Zeu will be returned in good
time!” ,
With this assurance Bernice felt that
she must be satisfied. Fabian’s life
was as precious to her as Imry’s. She
could not save both, yet there re
mained in her an overwhelming desire
to snatch her little son from Ham-
mersho’s tigerish clasp.
A hurried glance at the Jap doctor’s
letter showed her that he had not
changed his address, and that hi s lust
for the ill-gotten Zeu put him above
the fear of police or their agents.
Rochwarne advised ner not to see
Fabian until evening. He was still
restless and feverish after his opera
tion. No good purpose would be serv
ed by her entry into the room. She
was glad that the Swiss surgeon and
his colleague had decided to remain on
hand until th£ crisis was over. It re
lieved her of many dread possibilities
and gave her momentary leisure to
face Hammersho’s grim proposition.
And each moment threatened a visit
from the police in connection with En-
gleheart’s death in the house of the
German boarding house keeper Schol
fer.
The events of the last few hours had
been charged with matters of life and
death. One desire remained fixed in
her feverish brain—she must prevent
the overlapping of incidents. Fabian
was in good hands, but there were me
police, who might arrest her on a
charge of being connected with Engle-
heart’s death, or with complicity in the
assassination of Prof. Caleret. Sucn
things were not forgotten at Scotland
Yard. Hammersho was suspected, and
she had been seen in the Jap doctor’s
house and in the house of Scholfer. She
wondered vaguely whether the official
mind connected these incidents, or
whether, through laxity of information
or system, they were overlopked.
The Criminal Investigation Depart
ment was not omniscient. Its over
sights in the past had caused endless
comment and inquiry on the part of
public and press. There lingered in
Bernice a wild hope that the sergeant
who had taken her name and address
at Scholfer’s was not connected with
the officer who had interrogated her
outside Hammersho’s cottage the room
ing she had brought Imry away.
Imrs% Imry! The boy’s name struck
a chord of fear and pain within' her.
She could not take shelter in silence
while the Jap doctor starved him in
sheer vindictiveness and hate. Neither
could she bring the law to her assist
ance without risking the, boy’s life, for
she. felt that Hammersho would not
hesitate to kill the little fellow at the
first sign of police interference.
She must go alone and quickly. In
the few moments of preparation for
her visit to Hammersho’s she remem
bered a certain pistol which Fabian hau
given her almost a year before. Fabian
had explained its use very clearly and
concisely at the time. It was loaded
with chemical matter which, when fired
in the face of a footpad or burglar,
caused temporary unconsciousness with
out inflicting serious injury.
She found the pistol in the drawer ot
her writing desk together with a small
box of chemical ammunition. Bernice
read the printed instructions carefully,
despite the throbbings or her over
wrought mind, and, with some diffi
culty, succeeded in charging the slim-
barrelled weapon according to the di
rections.

_ (By Associated Press.)
W ASHINGTON, April 24.—The tariff
debate began Wednesday in the house.
Many members of all three parties,
Democratic, Republican and Progres
sive, had indicated a desire to make
short speeches and Chairman Under
wood, of the ways and means commit
tee and Democratic leader, had mar
shalled an array for the opening of the
fight for revision.
Representative Garrett, of Tennessee,
to wnom Speaker Clark has referred as
one of the best parliamentarians in
the country, will preside throughout the
debate while the bill is technically be
fore the house, as a “committee of the
whole house.”
» _ ^ r - Underwood reiterated today his
view that five days of general debate and
a week more for the reading of the
bill with the privilege d five-minute
speeches to each member would be suf
ficient in the house. He has been con
ferring with senators and has indicated
that he believes the bill will'go through
the senate with very little change from
the form in which it has run the gaunt
let of the house caucus.
_ Representatives Payne, Moore and
Fordney will make the principal
speeches for the minority of the ways
and means committee, the former favor
ing Republican substitutes for the
woolen and cotton schedules, and the
other two making the fight against the
bill as a whole.
UNDERWOOD NOT GUESSING
“Will you hazard a guess as to when
the tariff bill is likely to become a
law?” Representative Underwood was
asked today.
“Oh, no,” he replied. “It is impossi
ble for any man to guess that accu
rately now.”
Democratic members of the finance
committee met with a number of Dem
ocratic senators from western states
who object to the abolition of all tariff
from wool and sugar.
Republican members of the committee
spent the day at work over the bill.
The canvass of the senate by Demo
cratic Leader Kern, Chairman Simmons,
Kjf the finance committee and others,
has convinced Democratic leaders that
the tariff bill can be passed through the
senate without change when the finance
committee finally determines upon its
form.
Republican ranks are not united upon
the measure however. Senators LaFol-
lette, Bristow, Cummins and others are
working upon particular features of the
law and are not expected to support
the view of the Republican leaders upon
all points.
Senator LaFollette has been author
ized to employ an expert to assist him
In preparation of substitutes for many
schedules of the bill which will offer
on the floor of the senate when the
measure comes up*
When the house convened Mr. Un
derwood asked unanimous consent that
the general debate close when the house
adjourned Monday evening.
The Republican leaders and Represen
tative Murdock, tjie Progressive leader,
argued for some time over the division
of the minority time between the Re
publicans and the Progressives. It was
finally agreed to give the Progressives
five hours of the minority time. Alto
gether about fifty hours of general dis
cussion in the house will be allowed.
Other parlimentary mixups delayed
things, and it was some time before
Mr. Underwood began his speech.
“The enactment of this Dill into law
will mark the end of an era in the
fiscal administration of this country and
the beginning of a new one,” he began,
while the Democrats applauded. Mr. Un
derwood discussed the origin of the
present ‘high tariff system,’ declaring
that it was instituted as an emergency
measure during the Civil war.
“These unjust war taxes,” he said,
“have ben maintained ever since, and
those who had amassed fortunes under
it have controlled the government ex
cept for one brief interval.”
In his discussion he followed closely
the arguments outlined in the report of
the Democratic majority of the ways
and means committee.
“Our great responsibility,” declared
Mr. Underwood, ‘is the interest and
rights of the great mass of consumers
amongi the American people. From our
viewpoint industry must be considered
as secondary to the rights of the con
sumer.”
Referring to the increase in the cost
of living, Mr. Underwood said:
“A great proportion of this increase
was caused by the abnormally high pro
tection given to the great manufactur
ing inteersts o fthe country under the
Republican tariff.”
Mr. Underwood said, however, that the
passage of the Democratic bill would
not immediately be followed by reduc
tions in the cost of living.
‘ But I believe,” he added, ‘that with
in a reasonable time, after the mer
chants have disposed of the goods
bought under high protective tariff, the
people of this country will find the cost
of living decreased.”
Mr. Underwood vigorously attacked
the theory of founding a protective tar
iff on the difference in cost of produc
tion at home and abroad.
PROOF ON REPUBLICANS.
“A duty which will equalize the aver
age differences in cost bf production
between two countries,” he said, “pro
tects no one, since it is more than is
needed by the most efficient producer
and less than is needed by the less ef
ficient producer. You Republicans can
not write a successful tariff bill on
that basis and the prpof of it is you
never have.” The Democrats applauded.
“I do not contend” Mr. Underwood
continued, “that in this bill we have
been able to wipe out at one fell swoop
all the Inequities, injustices and rank
favoritism that you Republicans have
engrafted on the body politic for the
last five decades. But we have played
favorites with no one. We have had no
favored manufacturers dictating oi*r
rates.
“But we have not gone at this tariff
wall with an ave. There are many in
dustries that have been built up en
tirely on the basis of your protective
system and whereverc it has been pos
sible with substantial justice to the
great body of consumers we have low
ered this tariff well with a jack screw
and not with an axe.”
GERMANY’S PROTEST.
Germany through its ambassador has
protested against two administrative
features of the pending tariff bill. On e
concerns the proposed examination of
books of German exporting houses for
the purpose of ascertaining domestic
sales prices to guard against underval
uation of exports.
The other protest is against the pro
vision that German goods imported in
American boats shall enjoy a differ
ential of 5 per cent in duty. It is de
clared to be in violation of treaties with

SMOKING TOBACCO
• (Forty “rollings 9 * in each S-cent muslin sack)
“Bull” Durham has been the standard smoking tobacco of the world for thret
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
for tins and “premiums”—but he can't smoke them. They are proud of the plain,
handy old muslin sack that “Bull” Durham
comes in, because they know that the quality
is all in the tobacco—where it belongs !
Get a 5-cent muslin sack at the nearest
dealer’s today, and pack some in your pipe or
roll a cigarette. Then you’ll understand why

Germany which guarantee vessels of
that country equality of treatment
with American vessels in the matter of
duties and charges.
Most of the embassies and legation^
in Washington have temporarily re
frained from making representations on
the same point. The Austrian govern
ment is about to follow the lead of
Germany, and others are preparing to
do so, all pointing out that the pro
posed legislation will destroy existing
trade and commerce treaties with the
United States.
Secretary Bryan, by direction of thte
president, has refrained from answering
any of these arguments, but has prom
ised to transmit the protest to congress
so that it may alter the pending leg
islation if it desires to do so before
the law finally is enacted.
Mr. Underwood did not take up the
income tax feature of the bill in de
tail, declaring Representative Hull, of
Tennessee, was responsible for fram
ing the provision and would explain it
later.
HONEST REVISION.
“I believe this is an honest revision
of the tariff downward,” Mr. Underwood
said in conclusion. “I believe that it
will not in any way jeopardize legiti
mate industry—and by legitimate in
dustry I do not mean the mills that
have gorged themselves on dividends
and allowed floors and machinery to
rot. Legitimate American industry

As Mr. Underwobd concluded Demo
crats of the house after a burst of ap
plause rushed to the well of the house
to congratulate the majority leader.
Representative Gardner took the floor
to open the Republican side of the de
bate. He gave two reasons for dismis
sal of the Republican party from power,
one that it “obstinately resisted reason
able reforms,” and another the fact that
“the country desires a revision of the
tariff piuch farther reaching than the
Payne law.”
He paid a tribute to Representative
Payne, of New York, with the statement
that the cotton and wool schedules had
been written into the law over his pro
test.
THREE ARRESTED FOR
AUGUSTA CAR MURDER
(By Associated Press.)
AUGUSTA, Ga., April 21.—Chief of
Police George P. f Elliott has commit
ted to jail W. E., alias “Bud” Kennedy,
Ed Coursey and W. E. Trumpler, charg
ing them with being principals in the
famous “street car murder mystery.”
In January, after working on the
case several months, a national de
tective agency had a man by the name
of W. E. Kennedy, not the same man
arrested by the chief, J. Gary Johnson
and Lester R. Young arrested on the
charge of murder, as perpetrators of
the murder, which occurred during the
trolley strike in 1911. when Motorman
Frank Lichtenstein, alias Kelley, was
shot to death through the back, and
Conductor Allen Brooks was fatally
wounded.
The detective’s star witness, Maggie
Bryant, turned on them, issued a state
ment contradicting all she had told
the detectives and had testified to and
declared in a sworn statement that her
testimony had been fixed by the de
tective.
She also declared the detective worked
a dictagraph on Johnson in a Macon
hotel, when he had her to accuse John
son of the murder unsuccessfully.
Chief Elliott took the case up for
the first time when the detectives were
discussed several weeks ago and says
he is positive his case is absolute. The
men arrested by the detectives are out
on bond and, it is understood, their
cases will never be tried.
