8 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1913. The Half-God BY ALBERT DORRHTGTOW. Author of “THE RADIUM TERRORS," "CHILDREN OF THE CLOVEN HOOF,” Eto. - (Continuation of Chapter XIX.) "Slip Into the taxicab standing: direct ly behind my Darracq. Blaymore has engaged it for you. The driver knows where to go.” "And you?" she almost gasped. "I will meet you later with Imry. Hur- iry, dear! I fancy that Scotland Yard car is coming into the street!” Bernice tripped down the stairs, look ing neither to right nor left, as she : passed the little crowd of fashionable loiterers in the entrance. Walking to the taxi, drawing up behind Fabian's Darracq, she took her seat. The driver moved the car forward in a half cirfcle to avoid a low-seated auto which swept toward the hotel entrance. ! Eight second later the taxi was running leisurely in the direction of the city. Fabian remained at the stairhead until the detective appeared within the hotel entrance. Descending, he came face to face with the almost breathless officer of the law. "You are looking for me?" Fabian questioned, his mouth twitching slightly. The detective Angered his chin while his glance wandered up the long flight' of stairs. *'I regret to say that a warrant has been issued for Mrs. Kromer’s arrest. Under the circumstances it is my duty to put it into force.” He moved toward the stairs, halted a moment, and looked up curiously into Fabian's smiling face. “It would be better, Mr. Kromer, if you accompanied me into her room. I shall be glad to get the matter over with as little fuss as possible." Fabian lit a cigarette. “I think you have come too late,” hfe said slowly. “Mrs. Kromer has left the hotel!” CHAPTER XX. Fabian had expected an outburst of anger from Detective Garson. Instead the man from Scotland Yard appeared calm an dexceedingly Referential. It may have been part of his business to assume a certain nonchalance at the unexpected disappearance of Bernice. Yet Fabian was too much a man of the world to be deceived by the polite sub terfuges of a mere police officer. Garson lingered on the stairs as though unwilling to leave the hotel. A casual survey of the man inspired Fabi an with an idea that something more than Bernice’s disappearance was amiss. Under ordinary circumstances a detec tive would have rushed into Bernice’s apartments, would have searched the hotel, probably, to satisfy himself that she had really gone. Yet Garson, with a search warrant in his pocket, took Fabian’s word for grant ed. Moreover, he appeared secretly glad to be relieved of a very disagreeable duty; and the more Fabian considered him, the greater his own bewilderment became. He turned toward the stair head to Join Imry. *‘I repeat: that you are at liberty to Search my wife’s apartments in this hotel. Afterwards, I trust we may go our separate ways!” The detective inclined his head. “Thank you, sir; I take your- word that Mrs. Kromer has left this estab lishment. At present, I would regard it as a favor to remain here with you until my chief arrives.” “Your chief!”' "Sir Edward Cressleigh. He followed close on my car. Wait . . . one moment, Mr. Kromer-” Garson slipped from the stairs to the lounge entrance at the moment a small runabout car shot up to the hotel front. A stiff, gray-haired man in light brown dust coat and gloves alighted and, after a hurried conference with Garson, en tered the hotel. Fabian, more puzzled than interested, awaited them with some reserve and caution. Garson turned with a glance in the American’s direction. “This is Sir Edward Cressleigh, Mr. Kromer,’ he volunteered in an under breath, for the arrival of the chief su perintendent of police had caused a slight stir among the hotel porters and attendants. Sir Edward bowed politely. "It would come as a favor, Mr. Kromer, if you would grant me a few moments of your valuable time.” Fabian agreed smilingly and led the way to Bernice’s rooms. Garson re mained below. Once inside the private sitting room Sir Edward relaxed some thing of his official stiffness and as sumed, with almost startling sudden- Mother’s Friend . in Every Home Comfort and Safety Assured Before the Arrival of the Stork.

"I have almost to apologize, Mr. Kromer, for the issuance <Jf that war rant. But after you have heard my rea sons you will agree that my action was well advised.” This was a strange confession from the chief of the C. I. D., Fabian thought. He made no direct response, feeling in stinctively that silence was an invul nerable shield. Sir Edward appeared too preoccupied with his mission to note the other’s reticence of speech. "I have been interested from the very beginning,” he resumed, "in the series, of events which culminated in the death of Maurice Engleheart. The depart ment's worries began with the assassi nation of Prof. Caleret,. and the theft of that wonderful chemical discovery— Zeu. You will agree with me, Mr. Kro mer,” he added with a shrewd glance at the American, "that it was a marvelous discovery even for a scientist of Caler- et’s standing?” "I have every reason to be grateful to the dead savant,” Fabian vouchsafed. Sir Edward Cressleigh coughed as though a nervous irritation had seized his throat. Then, after a breath-giving pause, he resumed. "The department is in communication with Dr. Rochwarne. He has been in terrogated in regard to the wonderful element of Zeu, which we understand, was used in the operation upon yourself, Mr. Kromer.” Fabian, still doubting the nature of Sir Edward’s confidence, nodded as sent. For th« life of him he could not divine the reason of so unexpetced a proceeding. Something more than the mere death of Maurice Engleheart lay beneath the old chief’s mission to the Hotel Mont Dore, he felt certain. Without waiting an Invitation Sir Edward had seated himself comfortably near the window overlooking the street, and had proffered his cigar case ,to the American. "Let us be at our leisure, Mr. Kro mer. To be frank with you,” he went on with an unaccustomed smile, "one does not enjoy hunting a lady across this world on a murder charge!” "You have preferred such a charge against my wife!” Fabian retorted, ig noring the chief’s proffered cigar. "Not in the face of the new evidence submitted, Mr. Kromer. If we were disposed to take a serious view of the case I fear Mrs. Kromer would have a difficult task to prove her innocence!” “Innocence of what, Sir Edward?” "Of complicity in the Caleret murder, in the theft of the Zeu from the profes sor’s laboratory, in the edath of Stef an Scholfer!” The chief of police tick ed off each crime with a forefinger, his square-cut face half concealed in cigar smoke. "We have pieced together enough legal evidence to incriminate Mrs. Kromer,” he went on. "At the same time we feel that she has been unwittingly drawn into the confidence of a Japanese doctor named Hiogi Ham- mersho.” “Why don’t you arrest him? I can supply you with the rascal’s address!” Fabian exclaimed, It angered him to think that the police temporized with the real assassin of Professor Calvert while Bernice was being hunted from place to place. Sir Edward Cressleigh considered for a space before replying, and it was evi dent to Fabian that he was forcing an awkward query upon the chief of police. "There have been, up to the present, Mr. Kromer, many cogent reasons why Hammersho’s aprehension was not ef fected.” Sir Edward replied at last. "Insufficient legal evidence in the first place, and secondly a desire on my part to watch the effects of the Zeu on the operation performed on you by Dr. Roch warne.” "Why?” Fabian stared in open amaze ment at the slow speaking chief. "Because upon your case depended a situation of extreme delicacy, Mr. Kro mer. From the moment it was known that Dr. Rochwarne had accomplished your cure wq became aware that Cal- eret’s Zeu had been used in the opera tion. Rochwarne admits the fact. Now,” Sir Edward leaned back in his chair, his cigar held up to the level of his eyes, "we are forced to make a confiden tial statement. The super-radium is either in your wife’s possession or in Hammersho’s. Will you give your word that it is not in Mrs. Kromer’s keep ing?” "Absolutely! It was handed to Ham- mersho the day Rochwarne left my house!” Sir Edward’s jaw hung slightly at the announcement. His vivacity of manner was superseded by a bleak silence in which Fabian had leisure to speculate upon the chief’s next move in regard to the wily little Japanese adventurer. Then his thoughts wandered back to the ciwrious policy pursued by the police in preventing Bernice leaving England. And his thoughts shaped themselves In words before Sir Edward had recovered his self-possession. “Why did your officers hot arrest my wife, Sir Edward, when they found her on board the Havelock, yesterday? And why was Detective Garson so anxious to apprehend her this morning? Does it not appear to you, sir, that the law is being trifled with?” Sir Edward looked up and his eyes appeared to stare vacantly at Fabian’s swaying figure in the chair. "You—you have asked me a great question, Mr. Kromer, one that is best answered when I say we are fighting for the medical world to save the superradium intact.” He paused with brows close knit, his fingers on Fa bian’s arm. "Another factor "has ap pealed to our sympathies, Mr. Kromer, the life of, shall I say, a certain well- beloved prince!” Fabian sat very still. Imagination flared her torch in his brain, and the reflected fire in his eyes was Sir Ed ward’s answer. For weeks past the world had known that a prince of the royal household was seriously ill. The dread malaise which had fastened upon Fabian was slowly preying on his life energy. The prince’s illness, synchronizing as it did with Fabian’s case, had In vested the Rochwarne-Kromer opera tion with an interest unprecedented in medical history. It had seized the pub lic imagination. If, by the aid of a certain radio-active substance called Zeu, a Swiss specialist could operate successfully, in the case of an Ameri can millionaire, how came it, they asked, that a son of. a king was per mitted to die? Only within the last few hours had the royal physicians deemed it expedi ent to communicate with the great Swiss surgeon. Rochwarne had replied that the Zeu, upon which the success of Rochwarne’s cure depended, had passed from his keeping, and that with out its aid any attempt to operate on the royal patient would end in failure and disappointment. Fabian’s sympathies were easily awakened. The sons of plebeans or i kings were equal in the scales of life | and death. Yet, American in sentiment 1 and principle, he was swayed by the ! domestic tragedy which threatened the | royal household, and he could easily understand the old police veteran’s pe culiar position. The C. I. D. had been invested with almost new powers. Their business, for once, had not been first to catch and punish certain criminals, but rath er to recover, at all hazards, the price less grain of Zeu which held a prom ise of life to suffering thousands. Fabian regarded the bent head of the old chief with new found interest. It occurred to him that Sir Edward had played with his own reputation and AMERICAN VESSEL-IS SEIZED BY CANADIANS VANCOUVER, B. C., May'15.—Seized for poaching in Canadian waters the American halibut schooner Valiant, Cap tain John Courage, of Seattle, was towed Into Vancouver harbor last night by the government patrol boat, William Jolliffe. Captain Newcombe, of the pa trol, says he sighted the American ves sel lying a little over a mile inside the three mile limit. He immediately gave chase and after a run covering six miles the Valiant heaved to Captain Courage and his four seamen were brought to Vancouver. He is alleged to have denied that he had fish on board, but when the holds w-cre torn open live halibut were found. The vessel now is lying in English bay awaiting proceedings for confiscation. The Valiant is an eighteen-ton gaso line schooner, carrying two dories. She is owned by the Pacific Coast Net and Twine company. The Valiant is the fourth American fishing- vessel seized for poaching by Canadian fishing pa trols in recent years. principles in the hope of recovering the Zeu and the formula of its manufac ture intact. “Why don’t you seize Hammersho?” he almost pleaded. "The thing looks easy.” Sir Edward straightened his bent shoulders like a steer under the lash. "Dr. Hammersho cannot move out of London without my knowledge, Mr. Kromer. His house is practically sur rounded by plain clothes police. The one thing that remains is to rush the place.” “Why not at once?” The gray white face looked up at Fabian slowly, the grim lines relaxing about his tight shut mouth. “Your wife overcame Hammersho with one of those patent chemical pistols. Our chances of entering the house unchal lenged are not so good. The Jap doc tor and his friend are armed with Browning revolvers. You know what happened a few years ago. Mr. Kromer, when some of our fellows attempted to rush a criminal den in the East End. We were shot down without attaining our object. Besides, the public are ner vous of such militant methods. And I don’t want to mess things by caus ing these fatalistic Japs to suicide!” "You think he might destroy the Zeu?” "He would do it in sheer hatred of us and our people. We have held back In the hope that it was still in Mrs. Kromer’s possession.” "Is it worth while appealing to Ham mersho? He might come to terms.” “We cannot make terms with sup posed murderers, Mr. Kromer.” "Then permit me t to interview Ham mersho! If he’s after the dollars J’ll make him an offer for the Zeu. Every Jap has his price!” Sir Edward turned quickly in his chair. “Your proposition is quite Amer ican, Mr. Kromer. Of course,” he went on with a slight flush, "we should not throw obstacles in your way if you care to visit Hammersho. I must warn yuo, however, that we take no responsibility in the matter.’ Fabian looked at his watch hurriedly. "I will see Hammersho at midday and make him an offer for the Zeu. If we come to terms th super-radium will be handed to you this after. Before go ing,” he met the old chief’s .inquiring stare with a smile, "I must explain to a certain Hindu lady in this hotel the reason I borrowed her shawl.” "To shelter Mrs. Kromer from obser vation, eh?” Sir Edward rose and put his hand cordially. "Godd-bye, Mr. Kromer, for the present. If you can strike a bargain with the Jap you will earn the nation’s gratitude.” "And you, Sir Edward, will hang Hammersho when the Zeu is In your keeping?” Sir Edward’s manner became suddenly non-commital. "We have yet to prove our theories, Mr. Kromer. In any case he may rely on getting justice. Good- joined Bernice at the appointed meeting place. The nut brown complexion stain merely accentuated the Titian-like charm of her features, he told her Imry had been sent to Holmwood to await their return. And, in the few hurried moments which he had allowed himself to be with her, he spoke jubilantly of the days to come. But beyond his gay prophecies lurked the shadow of impending tragedy. He refrained from any suggestion of his in tended visit to the Japanese doctor. It was with difficulty he persuaded her to return to Holmwood without him. The complexion stain must be removed be fore she could show herself to the serv ants.. It was decided finally that a visit to a certain New Bond street complexion spe cialist would solve the difficulty without delay. And so between laughter and scarcely repressed tears, Bernice drove bye, and don’t worry about Mrs. Kro mer,” he added 1n a whisper. "If we handle Hammersho with diplomacy the truth will out at last!” CHAPTER XXI. It was near midday when Fabian to New Bond street, while Fabian pre pared for his meeting with Hiogi Ham mersho. As the car picked its way through the dense traffic his eye caught by the newspaper headings which an nounced the critical condition of an English prince. More than once during the journey he asked himself why he was acting as an agent on behalf of the police. Was it to prevail upon the Jap doctor to sur render the precious grain of Zeu so that Scotland Yard might allow Bernice to drop out of further inquiries? Fabian did not relish that aspect of the case; | he preferred to view it from another point. Hammersho had *in his keeping the most dazzling curative agent known to science. Its destruction by accident or design would prove an irreparable tragedy. No one could predict what Dr. Hammersho would do if provoked or molested by the police. At any moment, he might, in a spirit of frenzy or malice, destroy the tiny platinum tube containg the Zeu, and with it the formula of its man ufacturer. , By its aid Rochwarne had plucked him from the shadow of death. Its very pres ence In an operating theater invested the surgeon with invincible powers. It could give back to life men and women already condemned. • The newspaper headings made clear to Fabian that the passing of the young prince was merely a question of days. He sat back in his seat his mind in a strange ferment. It was not for Ber nice, nor an alien prince, the present task had been undertaken. All his life he had held to the doctrine of philan thropic enterprise when the sick and perishing called. Only once in anger had he turned from Bernice; but the provocation had been greater than he could bear. A question of her faith and honesty had suddenly confronted him. and his quick wrath and mortification had caused a temporary breach, that was all. It would never hapen again. The day was insufferably warm. A few white clouds dotted the windless blue above. The stir and din of Lon don left behind, the car entered the long dusty road which led to Hammersho’s house. A smell from the near fields came in refreshing breaths after the hot, stifling streets of the city. Blaymore had not forgotten the weed haunted gar den, the few unwatered plants and shrubs which lent an air of desultude to the Jap’s house. (Continued in Next Issue.) SWEPT BY FLIES; Early Morning Fire Damages Main Sleeping Quarters to Extent of $3,000 Before Firemen Arrive-None Injured (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON, Ga., May 15.—Fire that is supposed to have originated from a de fective wire damaged the main dormi tory of Mercer university to the extent of about $3,000 this morning at 2:30 o’clock before the fire department could reach the building.

Frank Houston, of Kentucky, a Panama canal worker who shot and killed his friend, Harry Stern, of Hot Springs, at Gatun, on February 8, because of jealousy aris ing from correspondence which passed between Stern and Mrs. Houston. The request for a postponement was based upon the fact that under the canal zone act, trial by jury in the zone is denied. Inasmuc ha Houston was convicted on May i and sentenced on May 8 to ten years’ imprisonment, the request was made too late for notice of appeal to the supreme court to be given.
