(Continuation of Chapter XIII.) 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.

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.

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 brought to the firing line by open com- ARE THEY WEAK OR PAINFUL } Do your lungs ever bleed ? Do you have night sweats? Have you pains in chest and sides ?

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. NEW CUBAN PRESIDENT SELECTS HIS CABINET (By Associated Press.)
