"Tve b-been trying Ito ketch u-up
with you for S-Some time, Miss Bonn"
he stammered. I'D thank you ito let
mime have them papers you j-jest
stuck in your dress and that locket
Don your neck"
She recoiled.
What do you meant Who are
your"
1T. o. Adams Of Monks Corner.
Nebraska. ma'am; that's NINE. Let
mime have them, please" He spoke
peremptorily.
She turned, but before she could es-
cape he caught and pinioned her
wrists, Snatching the packet from her
bosom and tearing the locket from the
chain. Whereupon he released her and
bowed to her profusely.
Thanks, Miss Bonn" he Knocked.
Though outraged and frightened,
curiosity was uppermoSt In her ap-
praisal Of him. He was a tall, we'll
set-up young fellow In common, though
not ill-ttting clothes, which were soIled
and torn In several places. His face,
partly shaded by a SLOUGH hat, bore
the marks OF bruises and was red as
from sunburn or overdrinking. His
features for an ordinary man were
well cut. In a clearer light Bertha
thought that he might be very good
looking.
Bolstering her courage, she ventured
the all-important question: "Where is
my Photograph
what Photograph
"The photograph that was taken
from the locket."
''The photograph that was taken
from the locket?"
"Yes!"
"You g-got me-" He eyed her curl
ously.
She grew irrttated. "As you must
well know its return was assured me
by-by Mr.. Payne"
"Oh" He became very alert. THAT
photograph! I'm sorry to s-say l
haven't got 1t with NINE, Miss Bonn.
Let-me-see, where d-did l leave
Payne's photy" He scratched his
head and looked In the direction Of the
body Of the person whose name had
passed between them.
mot Payne's! Major Brent's |"
She advanced a pace or two. Don't
trifle with me! You're either very
stupid or a mighty poor bluffer!"
The man was staring strangely, for
the moment forgetful Of the packet
and locket. With a quick movement
she knocked both out of his hand.
Then the first Of several uncanny
things happened. He tumbled in q
heap as If stricken by an invisible
force.
She grabbed the lantern and
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1917-01-19

who, dismayed to find herself mixed
up with Payne, had delayed her de-
parture for the PaSO del Norte with
the packet and lOcket pending further
developments. Nor did Bertha know
that the girl, to marry whom Major
Brent sought to silence her, occupied
the drawing room In the coach ahead.
Otherwise In her agitated frame Of
mind she might have gone and told
her everything about the major. She
spent most OF the night studying time
tables and wondering what secret the
packet in her travelling case contained.
Pearl sat alone In her unmade berth
until a very late hour, unable to re-
strain a natural curiosity concerning
the import Of the message she carried
from the president to the dlsgraced ex-
officer.
She was In q sense glad for the
train ride for 1t gave her an 'oppor-
tunity to relax. She found herself
taking a passing interest In scenes and
Incidents noticeable from the car win
dow. Her mind began to grow slug
gish and her eyes to droop and she
was on the point of calling the vesti-
bule porter to prepare her bed.
Then to the swiftly-speedlng flyer
came a series Of terrific shocks, hurl-
ing her to the floor just as the lights
went out and the car began to pitch
and roll.
A portion Of the top berth fell bare
ly missing where she half lay, half
crouched, stunned, and as all the
world seemed to stand still, she heard
the crash Of glass, steel demolishing
steel, an explosion or two and an out
burst Of human cries. A little later
she climbed out of the debris Of her
coach and leaped unframed to the
railroad tracks below.
Below her appalled, gaze lay the
gnarled, twisted and ~telescoped ruins
Of the luxurious train. Fires were
breaking out and in the rising steam
she caught glimpses of dlsfigured dead,
dying and wounded travellers and part
ly clad people running about wildly.
She realized that she was in the
midst of a f1ghtful railroad catas-
trophe.
Immediately she thought Of both
Payne and Toxic and began a frantic
search for the former, blindly follow
ing the lead of trainmen with Ian
terms.
A thunderstorm which had been pre-
vailing now ceased, but the night re-
manned inky black, illumined only by
the conflagration Of the wreck. After
a fruitless hour the bodies of first one
and then the other Of Payne's guards
were found lying fully a cars length
apart. At this point Pearl discovered
a woman seated ON some broken
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1917-01-19

trucks. Her clothing was torn; her
hair was streaming; and she was act
ing queerly. In one hand she held
something taken out of a small trav-
cling case. Pearl saw her stuff 1t into
the bosom Of her shirtwaist and
caught the CLEAN Of a gold locket
dangling at her neck.
It was Bertha Bonn. Pearl won
dered where she had seen this person
before.
Then In the avalanche of junk be-
hind the woman, Pearl, a man with a
lantern hitherto unnoticed, and Toxic,
who suddenly appeared from some
where, simultaneously saw q huddled-
up form In army clothes. Pearl ut
tered a little cry. Toxic muttered
something unintelllgible. The woman
rose and following their stares, stifed
a choking sound. Pearl, drawing near
to the still figure seeing in it the only
too familiar outlines, gave a little
shudder.
The stranger with the lantern stern
ly waved her back, but too late. In
the fitful light she observed a hideous-
ly crushed and unacceptable bearded
face.
She stopped trembling and examined
the mans clothing, jerking a slip Of
paper from the coat pocket.
Her eyes filled, for the penciled
scrawl she read with the lanterns aid
was in the unmistakeable handwriting
Of Ralph Payne. And Its signature
was genuine.
TO MY EXECUTORS:
I die innocent of the crime of which I
have been made the victim Of others I'M
known to me. I leave my entire fortune
to Pearl Dare as sole trustee, to use in
unearthing the criminals for whose dis
covery and punishment ! make my last
prayer.
A solemn silence fell upon the
tragic scene.
"Too late" breathed the stricken
girl. Her eyes met Toko's for the first
time. Hes dead"
II have already telephone Colonel
Dare to come for you," he said gently.
Together they moved away.
The man with the lantern nov gave
Bertha Bonn a great start

INDIGO In Southern India.

A primitive but effective method Of
obtaining indigo in southern India Is
practiced by the natives. The plant Is
tightly packed the day 1t Is cut, in a
large vat, into which water Is run, and
boards are then placed over the top
and are kept in position by heavy
crossbeams. The plant Is allowed 70
soak for ten or twelve hours, during
which time a heavy fermentation takes
place. The liquid Is then drained off
into another vat, after which coolies

searched the spot at her feet where
the locket and pocket had fallen. They
had disappeared! She darted a sus-
picious eye upon Adams. He had not
moved a muscle and was indeed quite
unconscious. Her eyes swept the VI
cinity and could not detect sight or
sound of any human presence. Again
she examined the ground, using her
hands as well as her eyes. Pinned
under the boot Of the dead soldier she
found q crumpled note.
She tore 1t open with trembling
fingers. Her eyes popped. 1t was the
lost l0cket receipt Of the Hotel Will
ton!
Bertha experienced a sensation new
to her-fear Of the dead. She forgot
Adams, she forgot the lost objects
which had been intrusted to her by
Payne, eve for the moment she for
got Major Brent. She fed in u panic.
Her n thought was to get away
from the scene and back to the Wilton
to investigate.
At that moment Adams recovered
consciousness and staggered to his
feet, watching her go. There was
something half humorous, half pathet-

and broke into mirthless laughter,
Struggling his shoulders. Then hear

men carrying a stretcher appeared.
They had come for Payne's remains.
Adams strobe away.
Temporary shelter had been provid-
ed for the wreck survivors In q track
gangs cabin, for the nearest habita-
ton was several miles to the north.
Hither Adams proceeded gazing into
the sleeping silence Of the countryside
as he walked wrapped in impenetrable
thoughts.
The night was magnificent The
southern sky was Respondent with a
million soft stars. From the earth
into which the abundant rain had
filtered, a fresh dark odor rose. Over
yonder somewhere q wood owl hooted
at the moon.
