THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1913. The Half-God by albebt doebikotoh. Author of "TUI RADIUM TERRORS," "CHILDREN OF THE CLOVEN HOOF,” Eto. (Continuation Chapter XV.) Bernice replaced her watch and looked back in the direction of the house. Blay- more, her own chauffeur, had drawn up her runabout car near the terrace steps awaiting her orders. She could not see him through the trees, and she knew in stinctively that he was watching her. A sign or c^y would bring him to her side if necessary, but even his strength and loyalty would avail her little against the Japanese doctor’s meditated plan of action. * “You demand from me something which is not in my possession.” she said at last. “It is in the keeping of the operating surgeon—at present in r*y house.” The Japanese doctor had read the morning papers. Fabian Kromer’s critical condition had been commented on by many of the leading journals, to gether with some interesting particulars of the Swiss specialist's use of a new radio-active element during certain stages of the operation. A miracle in modern surgery had been accomplished, and the fame of Rochwarnc had been dashed across Europe and America. Hammersho had gritted at the news. The god of healing had been filched from his very finger tips after his almost supernatural efforts to seize and hold it. The spark of Zen had brought everlasting renown to anothef. Yet there remained one solitary chance. Once his fingers closed over the radin- um-god he would fly to America. Al ready he was the only living person who possessed the details of its manu facture. With the formula and the su per-radium in his keeping he could enter upon his colossal scheme for blackmail ing wealthy incurables, many of whom were already clamoring for the Zeu- treatment. It was Bernice who had shattered his plans, her woman's brains had so far outwitted his own! "I know,” he declared almost fiercely, "that you have utilized the radium- god on Fabian Kramer’s behair. You must return it to me—now!’ It is in Doctor Rochwarne’s keep ing,” Bernice admitted. ‘‘The Zeu will not be given back to me until Fabian is quite out of danger.” Hammersho saw in a flash that he was beating against iron walls, that this soft-eyed Englisnwoman would risk imprisonment, death itself, rather than endanger Fabians life. Yet, while willing to grant her a fews days, re spite, he was determined to possess some guarantee of faith, ne spoke a 'few words in a hoarse whisper, to O’Shani Ma, in the tonneau, then flung round to Bernice. "On one condition will I allow you another three days to hold the Zeu, Madame Kromer.” “I am willing to accept any reason able terms you may impose, Doctor Hammersho. Fabian’s life must not be jeopardized.'* "Give me your check for two thou sand pounds, madame. On the day you return the Zeu to me I will hand you back the check.” In a flash Bernice saw her chance. She could sign a check In her own name and allow him to hold it until Fabian was completely out of danger. Bidding him wait a little, she returned to the house and filled in'a check on Fabian’s bank, then, without haste or perturba tion, returned to her visitor. The Jap doctor took the check, and after a few words of caution in regard to her past and future movements dis appeared with his tumbril-like car through the lodge gates. Bernice hurried to her own car and ordered Blaymore to drive to Twyford, where the ordeal of an inquest awaited her. CHAPTER XVI. Bernice never afterward quite forgot the dismal assembly of coroner and jurors. Through the reeking fumes of tobacco smoke she heard their voices discussing the various points in rela tion to Maurice Engleheart’s mysterious end. Her examination proved a futile affair. While the coroner admitted that death had been caused by the use, acci dental or otherwise, of a powerful ra dio-active substance, the exact manner of its application or use could not be determined. During the intervals and after the inquest had been resumed Bernice trembled secretly lest some prying de tective should seek to interrogate Dr. Rochwarne or his confrere. • She saw with her woman’s instinct that the Swiss* specialist held the one link which might associate her -with Caleret’s mur der. The Zeu was in her keeping, the A Physician Cures His Wife Of Consumption With A Simple Home Treatment* Book Fully Describing The Treat ment Sent Absolutely Free To Any Lung Sufferer. DR. W. H.

Jacksonville, - Fla* priceless child of radium which healed or destroyed as the specialist desired. In the meantime Fabian progressed. Dr. Rochwarne, after specifying the fu ture course of treatment, prepared to return to Interlaken. Bernice saw him in the study, his confrere. Dr. Roni, remaining in the hall. The Swiss sur geon place a tiny platinum bulb on the study table, with meticulous care. "We may safely predict Mr. Kromer’s complete and early recovery,” he said after a pause. "I am leaving the half god In your charge,” he added signifi cantly, "because the authorities at Scotland Yard are offering a heavy re ward for its recovers* - !” Bernice suppressed an exclamation. The old surgeon smoothed his brown gloves delicately without meeting her half-frightened glances. “I have refrained from speaking of the matter to D* Kromer,” he went on, “I have refarined from speaking of the matter to Mr. Kromer,” he went on, "judging that you will reveal it to him of your own accord, madame.” “You are very good, Doctor Roch warne. You have already guessed, no doubt, that I have been driven into desperate plights to help my husband.” "I fear you have compromised your self, madame, with the Japanese scoundrel, Hammersho.” Bernice flushed. "What would you have done, Dr. Rochwarne? It was Fabian’s life against—against one’s scruples!” The old man plucked at his glove ends while his manner became gradu ally colder. "You helped me, Mme. Kromer, to accomplish the operation of my life. For that reason I bear with you. For that reason,” he con tinued with increasing rigor, "I have remained silent. You must know that I have followed the result of the Engle- heart inquiry with some interest. 1 know, too, Mme. Kromer, that if you had spoken the truth at the inquest you would have been arraigned for wilful murder!” He spoke dispassionately without heat or gesture, his voice scarce rising above a monotone. Bernice pondered over his words, her mind growing clearer now with each intake of breath. She knew that his statement was over stringent, yet judged from his viewpoint the accusa tion was justifiable. Engleheart’s death had been caused by his own folly. The fact that she had appropriated the Zeu from his tobacco pouch had in no way contributed to his end. It had' been her good or evil fortune to be present during Maurice’s last moments. More over, she was not anxious to advocate her innocence eveiTTo the man whose skill and patience had saved Fabian’s life. And' so they parted. Bernice sought Fabian in his room. Rochwarne had forbiden him news papers, but with the surgeon’s depart ure there came an almost crying eager ness for news of the outside world. Bernice had never seen him so eager ly alert. He was like one ejected sud denly from a pit of darkness into the maelstrom of life. His face, always pale and inclined to immobility, had grown vivid and clear. A consciousness of returning health and power was man ifest in each gesture and smile. ‘I’ve got to thank Rochwarne for my lifed dear,” he said with his fingers resting on his arm. "I shall send him a check for £10,000, eh, Berny? Do you think my life worth so much?” He kissed her hand on the couch rail, beside him, then looked up in slow won der at her, cold, joyless face. "Hullo, dear! What’s the matter?” Bernice had turned away and was staring blankly at little Imry standing in the doorway. The boy’s unexpected appearance sent a thrill of terror through Bernice. How he had been permitted to wander from the nursery into Fabian’s private apart ment was a circumstance which was 'never afterward explained. A look of interest and amusement crept into Fabian’s eyes as he regarded the dumfounded boy. Always pas sionately fond of pretty children, he waved "nis hand invitingly for Imry to enter. "What is your name, little one?” he asked, with Bernice’s hand still in his own. Imry seemed inclined to cry, but something in Bernice’s frozen glance checked the rising tears. "My name is Imry Ingleheart,” he faltered. "I don’t think I like this country, and these funny English people.” His lips quiv ered strangely. "Imry,. Imry!” Febian repeated the name, his glance wandering over the boy’s rich clothes, and pretty features. “Engleheart is a very good name. Imry,” he vouchsafed at last. “What country do you come from that you do not like the English?” “I come from Tokio. My father was a captain. He had a ship and was al most drowned . . . once!” Imry crept closer into the room toward Ber nice, his fascinated eyes drawing him to the tiger head which surmounted the rug at Fabian’s feet. Bernice took his hand, a sense of suf focation and unutterable misery en shrouding her. She dared not look at Fabian, she dared not lis to him. He, too, had stretched out his hand and was patting the boy’s head. And ‘n that moment of blinding torture and self-reproach she wondered how he could remain so unsuspecting, so free from all knowledge of her terror. "I am glad to hear,” Fabian went on, "that you are the son of a sailor. Imry. It is a noble calling, the sea.” Then leaning back on the couch he turned to Bernice. "How did the little chap come in here? Does he belong to—to ” "Me, Fabian. Imry is my son, mine dear, mine . . . and, oh, please don’t look at m.e like that, not like that, Fabian!” He sat forward on the couch; all the color had gone from his face. It was as though some one had struck him a savage blow. She heard his sharp expulsions of breath, and then worse than all, the sudden slackening of his hand ‘ on her arm, the cold withdrawal that was like the passing from life to dvath. \ She heard his voice through the dizzy, sickening noises in her head, the voice of Fabian, the business man and in jured husband. "You . . . had a whole year to speak the truth, Bernice, a year of hap piness without a single evil day to prove me a tyrant or an unforgiving comrade.” He stared bleakly at the bewildered Imry, his thin, nervous fingers spanning I the couch arm, his chin thrust down, i Bernice sat like death, yet unable to control the wild rush of words that streamed from her .fevered mind. “I thought that Engleheart had gone down with his ship. Perhaps . . . you remember the loss of the Manhat tan in the Sea of Formosa? He con spired with a Japanese doctor, Ham mersho, to deceive me. I believe that Engleheart was drowned with his ship. Even Imry had vanished. I discovered him in Hammersho’s keeping and brought him here while you were ill.’ Fabian’s lips were tight shut and the tiny wrinkles about the mouth seemed to twitch and throb. "So Engleheart is alive?” he declared hoarsely. "Is he in England?” "He died two days ago, in a German boarding house not far from here.” “You met him frequently?” "Once. He came to England with the Japanese doctor, Hammersho. They wanted money and sought me out.” "Why did you not Cuiifide in me?” "That is part of my sin, Fabian. Even now I am not asking forgiveness. I was pushed beyond my powers of re sistance. Everything conspired to drag me down. I could not fight those Asiatic blackmailers. They were like wolves, like wolves!” Her sobbing awoke him from his frozen Contemplation of the little figuro standing with trembling lip near the couch head. A moment «igo tne boy had appeared the very embodiment of cherubic sweetness and love. Bernice’s onfusion had charged the atmosphere with a tragic misery that ate into his soul. Imry, conscious of the sudden thun der cloud which had burst over him, stared at them both with frightened eyes. Bernice held herself bravely. Something in her manner prevented the boy’s outburst of tears. Gently, very gently she took his hand and led him to the door. Fabian sat rigid; his outspanning fin gers had lost their grip on the couch head. To have been hauled from the shadow of death to face a «ltter domes tic tragedy was more than his over wrought mind could stand. He did not call out as she l£ft the room. The sound of her steps reached him together with Imry’s unloosed chat ter as they descended the stairs. Some thing moved him to call out her name, but the imp of perversity gripped, him by the throat. Only for Imry’s presence, he told himself, Bernice’s confession might not have struck as deeply. T-ne more beau tiful the child, the more hateful every thing appeared. If the little fellow hau been less attractive, forgiveness, recon ciliation might have been possible. The boy stood for Engleheart’s dead love and would always stand. He rose form his seat somewhat dizzy and uncertain of movement. The sun streamed into the room and smote his eyes like a naked blade. What soulless perjurers women were, he told himself. Nothing could equal their rapacity of mind and body. He had thought of Bernice as an angel of goodness. She had stood for * every thing which represented truth and the higher ideals of the modern woman. What a pitiful mistake he had made! Only a few days before, when death seemed inevitable, he had assigned all his estates and wealth for her future enjoyment! There had never been the shadow of a suspicion in his mind con cerning the boy Imry. It was incred ible, unthinkable that she could have held her secret so long! Well, it was all done with now. She could go her way and live her life un hampered. Only he must never see her again, or the face of Engleheart’s son. The way was clear as Calvary. And there must be no vaccilations. He must be strong and escape her in fluence while there was yet time. He could allow her five, ten thousand a year to gratify her artistic and social desires. But they must not meet again. In his bitter meditations he forgot to ask himself the cause of Engleheart’s sudden death. The knowledge of his rival’s demise brought him no relief from his pain. The man had lived, had loved Bernice, and. had been loved in return. The servants moved about the house like spectres. Bernice had gone to her apartments to make ready for her de parture, no doubt. He would not stay her. All future communications could be done through her solicitors. He was not sure that he was morally right in abandoning her, he was only conscious that his aesthetic and artistic sensibili ties had been outraged. He had always visioned Bernice as a woman apart from women, just as a flower differs from trees and plants of coarser growth. And while he had intensified her spiri tual qualities, and offered her his wealth and soul, she had been capable of withholding from him the fact of her littlo son’s existence. In the midst of his sullen broodings a servant announced Mr. Coombes. Fa bian appeared glad of the old solici tor’s coming. In the present instance he felt that he needed sympathy and advice. Mr. Coombes'. exhibited his customary cheerfulness in greeting his wealthy client. He was delighted to hear that Dr. Rochwarne had so completely re stored a public benefactor to health, etc., etc. Fabian listened to his pre liminary chatter subconsciously aware that affairs of greater Importance lay beneath the old lawyer’s greetings. Fabian indicated a chair near the window, his American promptness of manner' leading him almost instantly to an open confession of his recent inter view with Bernice. The old lawyer lis tened as one already partly familiar with the subject in hand, yet never once be traying a too intimate knowledge of his rich client’s affairs. "I desire to end my present rela tions with her,” Fabian concluded hotly. • "I will not allow my .fortune to be at the disposal of unprincipled adventurers!” Mr. Coombs looked up quickly from his listening attitude. "Harsh words, Mr. Kromer, applied to one who has surrendered every principle except honor to save the man she loves dearer than life!” "Save . . . What man?” Fabian questioned almost sharply. "There has been ‘nothing to save. Do you infer that Bernice has made sacrifices on my behalf?” he inquired coldly. "If so, I fail to agree with you, sir!” The old lawyer rubbed his glasses Lone Bandit Falls From Train With Two Bullet Wounds Inflicted by Jesse M, Short, Mine Owner, of Joplin, Mo, KANSAS CITY, May 5.—Robbery of the Joplin millionaire, Jesse M. Short, was the primary object of the giant bandit who held up a Kansas City Southern passenger train in the Kansas City suburbs early today, according to the police theory. After a pistol tight with Mr. Short in the Pullman the robber fell oft the train wounded, carrying $1,000 of Short’s money. The mine owner was left lying in his berth with three bullets in his body. Physicians say Short will re cover. According to a telegram sent the po lice today from Grand View, Mo., by C. G. Gibson, conductor of the train, the total amount obtained was $1,100 in money and a diamond. Of this, Gibson said Mr. Short lost $1,000; W.,J. Scafer, Neck City, Mo., $65, and F. A. Seaman, Eureka Springs, Arlt., $35 and a dta- mond stud. Conductor Gibson said the robber must have been wounded seriously, as he left clear trails of blood. Bleeding from wounds he received in a pistol battle with Short, the robber left a trail of blood as, he fled. This enabled officers to follow his tracks until he ar rived at the Blue river, almost a mile from the point wjiere he jumped from the train. Here the trail stopped ab ruptly and his pursuers expressed the belief that he continued his flight in a boat. The train was just pulling out of the depot when a tall man ran out of the darkness of the railroad yards and climbed up the steps of the observation car. He had a handkerchief over the lower part of his face and carried two pistols. Oscar Allen, a negro porter, who saw him board the train, rushed out and or dered him away. The robber covered him with his pis tol and said: USES NEGRO PORTER. "I’m going to put over a trick here. You sit down there and be quiet. I will need you.” After the train had proceeded about three miles the robber ordered Allen to go ahead of him through the train. In the sitting room of the observation car were W. J. Scafe, of Neck City, Mo., and F. A. Seaman, of Eureka Springs, Ark. The robber's voice trembled as he de manded their valuables, but they offered no resistance and gave him money and jewelry amounting to about $200. Preceded by the frightened negro, the robber then entered the chair car, where there were about a dozen passengers, all men. "Hold up your hands,” was the com mand with which the robber greeted them. The passengers readily complied. The bandit passed along collecting their money and jewelry. The robbery of the chair car was ac complished within five minutes and the surprised passengers, obeyed the final in junction of the robber to sit down and remain quiet. The Pullman car was entered next. Art- er robbing two passengers from whom he secured small amounts of money, the robber came to the berth occupied by Short. MILLIONAIRE SHOOTS BANDIT. "Give me your money,” the robber demanded in a whisper as he shook the sleeping man. When awakened suf ficiently to realize tlie import of the command, Short handed over $1,000 and a large diamond stud. As the robber turned to leave, Short seized a revolver and fired through the curtains. The robber returned the fire and both men emptied their weapons, each shooting blindly through the curtains, which were perforated by almost a dozen bullets. One bullet struck Short’s forehead, an- ISF BT U. 5. With President Wilson and Secretary Bryan Away From Capital Recognition Given SPOKANE, Wash., May 5.—Akhay Chinese republic was formally recogniz ed today by the United States. Charge Williams, at Pekin, cabled that he had delivered the formal recognition, as he was authorized to do upon complete or ganization of the new government. Neither President Wilson nor Secre tary of State Bryan are in the capital today. This government’s action has cre ated an interesting international situ ation. It brings to the point the in tentions of the five other powers, par ties to the six-power loan negotiation, from which the United States recently withdrew, announcing its purpose to recognize China and urging the others to do so. It is known that some of them at least required more than a mere or ganization of a national legislature and that they originally were disposed to await installation of a constitutional president. On the other hand, the recent action of Yuan Shi Kai in concluding a loan for $125,000,000 with the five-power group is expected to prove a powerful incentive to these governments to sup port Yuan Shi Kai by joining in Chi na’s recognition. The formal recognition of the Uni ted States was extended when Charge Williams delivered, to President Yuan Shi Kai the following message from President Wilson: "The government and people of the United States (\f America having abun dantly testified, their sympathy with the people of China upon their assump tion of the attributes and powers of self-government, deem it opportune at this time, when the representative na tional assembly has met to discharge the high duty of setting the Seal of full accomplishment upon the aspira tions of Chinese people, that I extend, in the name of my government and of my countrymen, a greeting of welcome to the new China thus entering into the family of nations. “In taking this step I entertain the confident hope and expectation that in perfecting a republican form of gov ernment, the Chinese nation will attain to the highest degree of development and well being and that under the new rule all the established obligations of China which pass to the provisional government will in turn pass to and be observed by the government established by the assembly.” President Yuan Shi Kai responded: "In the name of the republic of Chi na I thank you most heartily for the message of recognition. The expres sion of greeting and welcome which it conveys at once testifies to the American spirit of mutual helpfulness, and adds another brilliant page to the history of seventy years of uninterrupt ed friendly / intercourse between China and the United States. "Though unfamiliar with‘the repub lican form of government, the Chinese people are yet fully convinced of the soundness of the principles which underlies it and which is so luminously represented by your glorious common wealth. The sole aim of the govern ment which they have established therefore is and will be to preserve this form of government and to perfect its workings. HINDU IS ADMITTED TO U. S. CITIZENSHIP Akhay Kumar Mozumdar Isthe First of His Race to Become American Citizen WASHINGTON, May 5.—The new Kumar Mozumdar, a Hindu of high caste, today became a citizen of the United States. He Is the first of his race to whom citizenship has been granted. Two years of litigation to that end was brought to a close when United States District, Judge Rudkin held that Mozumdar was a "free white person,” and entitled to American citi zenship. Mozumdar is a native of Calcutta, India, and a Yogi philosopher. His ap plication for citizenship previously had been denied by judge Rudkin. The case was reopened when the court appointed outside counsel to investi gate. Previous legal rulings were looked into with little avail. Few instances of Hindus applying for citizenship have ever come up before the naturali zation department. Mozumdar’s eligibility to citizenship hinged on the question of whether he Is a "free white person,” as used in the original naturalization act. Judge Rudkin, in his opinion, says: "In the original naturalization act the expression ‘free white persons’ was doubtless primarily intended to in clude the white emigrant from north ern Europe with whom the congress o> that day was familiar, and to exclude Indians and persons of African de scent or nativity. "Beyond this perhaps congress had no definite object In view. It could not have foreseen the vast immigra tion problems with which the govern ment is now confronted, or the difficul ties which might hamper and embar rass the courts in the administration of the law. "But whatever the original intent may have been, it is now settled by the great weight of authority, at least, that it was the intention of congress to confer the privilege of naturalization upon members of the Caucasian race only. "It is likewise true that certain of the natives of India belong to that race, although the line of demarcation between different castes and classes may be dim and difficult of ascertain ment. "I fully appreciate the fact that the lineage of the applicant in these mat ters must rest largely, if not entirely, upon his own testimony, and that the courts may be imposed upon, but they must administer the law as best they can until congress sees fit to prescribe a more definite rule for their guidance. "The testimony in this case satisfies me that the applicant has brought him self within the provisions of the natu ralization acts, and he will be ad mitted to citizenship accordingly, upon the taking of the oath prescribed by law.” 1When you answer this announcement# os I am going to mail you a brand nevfi (pair of my wonderful “Perfect Vision" glasses (known In the spectacle business as “lenses”) absolutely free of charge as fin advertisement.
