1t was as if they had been present at the
murder itsef-as if with their own eyes
they had seen it. Again, in imagination,
they walked along that corridor outside
Mrs. Fishers little private suite, laying
their hands on one door after another
only to have each one locked from within
even as their fingers touched it. Again
once, twice, three times-they seemed to
hear that CHASTITY rapping. Again, as at
last they broke their way in, there had
breathed out to them that "My God, my
God!" as from soul in torture. Again in
memory they found what had seemed at
first to be only an empty apartment, with
every door and window locked, and by
the swimming-pool there lay awaiting
them the body of Mrs. Fisher, dead an
hour or more! That memory would be
with them till they died
"And, Bishy,' said the Doctor, "you
ask if, after all, it mightn't in some way
have been an accident? Then, before we
go further, I'll have to show you this.
He took something from his wallet.
al hadn't intended to bring it out till
later. But guess you'll have to get it
here. picked it up behind the desk in
Mrs. Fishers writing-room."

Behind the Bottled Door?

1t was three-inch square of grayish
bond note-paper, such as is often made
up into memorandum pads. And it bore
a memorandum now. For beneath a
deaths head in red ink, drawn like q
school-boy's caricature, somehow
the more horrible for that,-somebody
had written, with the same pen appar-
emily, the following:
We hare nor reached the point Where ii
must be either murder or suicide.
And beneath that, in black ink and in
another hand:
Couldn't ii be made to look like an acct
dentp
@Do you know the writing below?' the
Doctor asked
"Laney!" He, Judge Bishop, was
strong man. He was soon to be the
Greater City's new District Attorney.
But at that moment he was only the
murdered woman's family lawyer and
confidant; and, "Laney,' he said, aghast.
"it's-it's Mrs. Fishers own!'
a thought so. But you don't know the
writing at the top?'
4No.' Bishops fat round face looked
sick and gray. @But that note proves it
its no accident. It's murder-murder,
even if she believed she was consentiEg.
And the cruel devil seems to have written
without a tremOr!'

The Characters:
JUDGE BISHOP, Mrs. Fishers lawyer.
DocToR LANEHAM, her physician.
Miss DAPHNE HoPE, a lawyer in the
Judges office.
Mr.. WALTER VIKINGS, a settlement
worker and friend of Miss Hope.
McGLoYNE, Chief of Detectives.
WHO murdered Mrs. Fisher? Dr.
Laneham and Judge Bishop, going to
her apartment together, are admitted by
Jimmy, her Cockney butler. Mrs. Fisher,
rich and benevolently inclined, had a
fancy for giving ex-convicts chance in
her service; and both Jimmy and NADIA
lima, the Italian maid, are known to have
4done time" Jimmy leaves the room to
announce them; but, instead of returning,
packs grip and mysterously fees the
house. The two men are left alone in the
gathering darkness of the big living-room.
They grow restless, and finally, calling
Mrs. Fishers name and receiving no re-
Spouse, seek to force an entrance into her
private suite. They reach the first door,
and instantly, as their fingers touch it, the
lock is turned on the inside. They try a
second door, with the same result, and a
third. Obviously some one is inside, but
who? They hear footsteps, accompanied
by an uncanny knocking on the wood
work. And voice, as if in utter agony,

beside two men at the wheel. Every now
and then he would leave them to walk
over to the companionway and bend an
ear to the half opened hood. Suddenly
above the sounds of the ships laboring
and the roar of the wind there came to
him and to the two helmsmen a piercing
cry-a cry that no man in the Pleiades
had ever heard before.
Half an hour afterward, Curt Chase,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-10-03

AS the liners bridge wondered thereat,
a silent, white-faced crew, armed with
knives and axes, was standing about the
overdue ships decks, ready at a word to
slash away straining sheets and halliards.
Yet the pallor of these men was not borne
of fear, but of expectancy. Death had
been among them. Now life perhaps was
coming to abide with them.
Aft stood Corlinnsen, the second mate,

is more to people than just what we see in
the beginning
Toward the end of October, Ragna
smashed the Pleiades through into the
Tasman Sea. A mid-November break O.
day found the ship becalmed to the west
ward of Leeuwin, the promontory in which
the southwestern extremity of the great
island continent of Australia sprawls into
the Indian Ocean. For nearly fortnight
Curt Chase had been about decks, raving
at his blindness and inwardly at the in
surmountable barrier that stood between
him and his wife. He and Ragna might
have been at opposite ends of the world.
From Corlinnsen, racially proud of Ragna,
he had learned of all that she had done the
night of the mutiny and since. But there
was one thing that the Norwegian did not
tell him; and that he assumed, of course,
the husband must know.
@WERE going to get blow out of
this, MIR. Corlinnsen!" exclaimed
Curt, starting suddenly from the chair
against the taffrail, where his wife had
left him a little while before. clay all
gear down for running and"
With a cry, he put hand to his head.
Something's breaking in-my-head.
Oh! OH" He tore the bandage from his
eyes and reeled under the glare of the
rising sun. A moment he stood staring
about him, and then he shouted: "Cor-
linnsen, can see-I can see!"
Staggering over to the companionway,
he called below:
"Ragna, l can see again! l can see!
Comet"
His wife came out of the cabin; and as
he looked down at her mystery was I'M
yelled to Curt Chase, and he understood
many things, but not all.
4Ragna, Ragna!' he cried, starting to
descend. "Why didn't you tell me?'
al am no shore woman!' she answered
fercely; and then, sobbing, she fled and
locked herself in the state-room that so
long had been her lonely castle.
To all his pleadings the only answer she
gave back through the closed door was:
@Let me alone and take your ship"
On December afternoon three weeks
later, a liner two hundred miles west of
Fremantle saw a wild ship under whole
tops'ls fly by on the wings of gale. There
was just time for the steamers folk to
make out the vessels name before she was
swallowed by gray squall of rain. But
they knew they had seen the ship Pleiades,
long overdue and given up for lost.

bare-headed and bare-armed, staggered up
on deck.
4Set your t'gallan's'ls! She'll stand it'll"
AS the second mate started to obey,
Curt Chase lifted his arms in duplication
toward the leaden sky and cried aloud:
"Good Christ, forgive me and let me
make the land by morning!"
THROUGH that night the Pleiades was
driven so that, even to this day, deep
wise men marvel that she held together.
The following day at noon she entered the
Swan River, flying the signal for urgent
medical attendance. Fremantle answered
it. Two constables bore the doctor COM
pany, with warrant for sailor named
johnson, alias Sandstrom, wanted in San
Francisco for the murder of his divorced
wife-a clearinghouse mistress named
Storm.
But the Pleiades' master cared nothing
about the law of which these men spoke,
or its requirements; he fed below, to
wait at his wife's door.
1t was full half hour before that door
opened and the physician, blue-eyed
Scot, confronted Chase. As he put
hand tenderly and Familiarity on the boys
shOulder-he was no more than boy, this
ship-master-he closed the door again.
And at that, with moan, Curt covered
his face and slumped into chair.
ma, ma, laddie. Dinna gle way. Ye
mus ma make it hard for her. But before

Curt uncovered his face. 1Na, ma, it's

And as the wise old Scot closed the door
again, Curt Chase was on his knees at his
wife's bedside, and, with radiant smile,
Ragna was smuggling his bowed head in
her arms as if he too were child of hers.

crying "My God, my God!" Hall-boys
and neighbors rush in; they burst down
the door. Not a sound is heard inside;
but, lying beside the swimmng-pool
which she had built into the apartment,
is the dead body of Mrs. Fisher. No one
is in the apartment, yet there is no way
in which any one could have escaped
from it. Every door is bolted, every win
dow locked.
Mrs. Fisher was known to have certain
azure pearls of great value in her apart
ment. Was it for these she was murdered?
If so, how was the murder committed, and
by whom?
For the first correct solution Of this
mystery we will pay $500, in accordance
with the offer printed at the close of this
instalment
"NOOD! Light up now. And we're
going to stay here, too, for an
Y hour if need be-till our nerves
~ are right again!'
1t was the Doctor who was speaking.
Taking Judge Bishop with him, he had
gone back for the time to his house and
Office in Seventy-second Street. The horror
of the thing was still upon them both.

Land" and while the denial of its ex-
istence does not reflect any upon the
Peary discovery of the pole, yet it
does rather confuse the accepted
story of The expedition. Doctor. Cook
is still abroad in the land, making
an occasional speech and living in
luxury. He promises to go to Wash
ington this winter and push his
claims before congress. The latter
institution lent a listening ear last
spring, but that ear is more likely to
be given to political matters and ext
gencies at the next session.
Huerta and Mexico.
The "old Indian" whom President
Wilson froze out of Mexico has again
been in the limelight. The other day
he made some comment on the Mex
lean situation that is of interest. His
statement, which appeared in Wash
ington dispatch, is as follows:
"Out of some 100000 people in
Mexico today there are 100000
who ask nothing better than to be let
alone. They want peace. The re-
naming 100000 are bandits who are
fighting for the spoils of one of the
richest countries on earth; they are
men who live by plumber and who
would rather fight than work. One
of the great troubles is that the real
conditions in Mexico are not known
outside of the country because not
letter nor a cable leaves the country
without being censored.
There is one very simple reform
that can be carried out and ought to
be insisted upon. 1t is this: Under
existing laws the proprietor of land
that is uncultivated pays no taxes on
it. and there are many men Of great
wealth who keep enormous landed
estates uncultivated purposely, SO as
to avoid paying taxes. The govern
ment ought to tax uncultivated land
high enough to force the owners
either to cultivate or to SELL"
