IL drums, Braxmar heard best
above a continued noise, and
as the express pounded its way to-
ward Chicago he became more and
more sensible to some one weeping
In an agony of distress.
The sound came from the berth
above him and he pushed his bell
for the porter.
George" he called, as an ebon
face was thrust through the cur
tains, "is there woman in the up
per berth?"
''Yessir," shouted the porter. "She
done got on at Albany"
"She's in trouble" he announced.
"Can't you hear her crying?"
The porter listened intently, then
shook his head. II doan' hear nuth-
in" he reported.
II do" persister BraxmaT. "See
II she needs anything"
He sank back against the pillow
and presently heard the porter
climbing the stepladder. Then the
black head was thrust between his
curtains again and the man shouted:
"She says she's sorry, but she
didn't think anyone could hear her
in this noise. and she just had to
cry"
''Is there anything she needs?" he
called back.
''she says there amt nothin' we
kin do"
Braxmar could sleep leaning
against a post, and soon he dropped
off again. He was one of the first
up In the morning, and as the sleeper
was the last car on the train he
went out on the rear platform for a
smoke in the bracing air.
Tho car had been made up and
had resumed it's daytime aspect when
he returned. The other half of his
section was occupied by a slender,
girlish figure. She started as he
dropped into the seat opposite.
"Are you the gentleman whom l
disturbed last night" she asked
leaning forward.
"You didn't disturb me-" he cor
rected. ~ heard you crying and
thought perhaps that you needed
help. You see, hear best when
there's a noise, and 1 knew that no
one else was probably aware of your
trouble. You might have been in

smile, "but not such as ones fellow

The girl started.
"How did you know?" she gasped.

She sank back In her place. "In

SAY HERR PLEASE, WHEN
TALKING IN GERMANY

BERLIN, May 14.-Excepting their
passion for Dreadnaughts. modern
Germans have no prediction more
strongly developed than their in
satiable love for titles. THE very latest
phenomenon in this line is the proposal
that male patients in the Berlin munic-
ipal hospital shall hereafter be ad-

seemed to draw more tightly about
her brother
The Arntons arranged with a Chi
cago detective agency to send half a
dozen men to work on the case and
freely declared their intention of
forcing Findlay to pay the penalty
of his crime.
Braxmar had dropped out of sight
after that first day. He had warned
Helen that he would not remain In
town, but that she need not feel any
uneasiness on that account, and con-
cluded that he had assumed some
disguise for the purpose of working

for month.
1t was the general opinion that
the postponement would do little
more than extend Findlay's life by
four weeks and, as the matter pro-
gressed, even Helen seemed to lose
hope.

"And you have given up the case?"
she cried despairingly.

"Do you think there is anything

spoke, demanding to know his busi-

Once or twice letter, mailed in
the railway post, assured her of
progress, and she took heart of grace,
though the detectives were building
up a mass of evidence that seemed
destined to crush Findlay beneath
its weight. Not stone was being
