up to the rear of the train; the end

She shook her head. "If we have to

there some way we can get out for

There's the top of the cars. Miss
Dorne." Eaton suggested. IF we
could get up these, we'd get a fairly
decent walk and see everything"
Good =" the girl applauded. How
do we get up?"
'Tll see the conductor about IT."
Eaton offered: and before Avery could
discuss it, he started hack through the

You see him as we found him, sir"
Connery stared down nervously beside
him.
Avery leaned inside the curtains
and recoiled. ."He's been murdered :"
1T looks so. Mr.. Avery. Yes; If
he's dead, he's certainly been mur-
dered," Connery agreed. "You can
tell"-Connery avoided mention of
President Jarvis name-"tell anyone
who asks you, Mr.. Avery, that you
saw him just as he was found"
He looked down again at the form
in the berth, and Avery's gaze fol-
lowed his; then, abruptly. it turned
away. Avery stood clinging to the
curtain, his eyes darting from one to
another of the three men.
"Will you start your examination

CHAPTER V
The Hand in the Aisle.

The man whose interest In the pas
senger in Section Three of the last
sleeper was most definite and under
standable and. therefore, most openly
acute, was Conductor Connery. Con-
merry had passed through the Pullman
several times during the morning, had
seen the hand which hung out into
the aisle from between the curtains !:
but the only definite thought that
came to him was that Dorne was a
sound sleeper.
Nearly all the passengers had now
breakfasted. Connery, therefore. took
seat In the diner. breakfasted lei
surely and after finishing walked
back through the train. Dorne by
now must be up, and might wish to
see the conductor.
AS Connery entered the last sleeper
his gaze fell on the dial of pointers
which. communicating with the push
buttons in the different berths, tell
the porter which section is calling him.
and he saw that while all the other
arrows were pointing upward. the ar
row marked "3" was pointing down.
Dotne was up. then-for this was the
arrow denoting his berth-or at least
was awake and had recently rung his
bell.
Connery looked in upon the porter,
who was cleaning up the washroOm
"Section Three's getting up?" he
asked.
mo. Mistah Connery-not yet" the
porter answered.
"What did he ring for?" Connery
looked to the dial. and the porter
came out of the washroom and looked
at it also.

Answer it. then" Connery directed.
AS the negro started to obey. Con
merry followed him into the open car
He could see over the negro's shoul-
der the hand sticking out into the
aisle, and this time. at sight of 1t,
Connery started violently. If Dorne
had rung, he must have moved man
who is awake does not let his hand
hang out in the aisle. Yet the hand
had not moved The long, sensitive
fingers fell in precisely the same posi-
tion as before, stifily separated a
little one from another; they had not
changed their position at ALL
"Wait!'' Connery seized the porter
by the arm. "I'll answer 1t myself"
He dismissed the negro and waited
until he had gone. He looked about
and assured himself that the car, ex.
rept for himself and the man lying
behind the curtains of Section Three.
was empty. Walking briskly as
though he were carelessly passing up
the aisle. he brushed hard against the
hand and looked back. exclaiming an
apology for his carelessness.
The hand fell back heavily, inertIy.
and resumed its former position and
hung as white and lifeless as before.
No response to the apology came from
behind the curtains; the man in the
berth had not reused. Connery rushed
back to the curtains and touched the
hand with his fingers. 1t was cold

anything unusual. 1t was selfevident
that, whatever had been the motives
of the attack. robbery was not one !;
whoever had struck had done no more
than reach In and deliver his muir
derous blow; then he had gone on.
Sinclair made first an examination

buttoned the paJamas upon the chest.
loosened them ct the waist and pre-
pared to make his examination Of the
body.
How long has he been dead?" Con-
merry asked.
He is not dead yet. Life Is still
present." Sinclair answered guardedly.
whether he will live or ever regain
consciousness is another question"
zone you can't answer?'
''The blow. as you can see'-Sin-
clair touched the mans face with his
deft finger-tips-"fell mostly on the
cheek and temple. The cheekhone Is
fractured. He is In complete state
OF coma and there may be some frac-
ture Of the skull. OF course. there is
some concussion of the brain"
Any inference TO be drawn from this
as TO the seriousness of the injuries
was plainly beyond Connery. How
long ago was he struck7' he asked.
"Some hours. Since midnight, GER
talnly; and longer ago than FIVE
O'Clock this morning"
Gould he have revived half an hour
ago-say within the hour-enough to
have pressed the button and rung the
bell from his berth?'
Sinclair Strengthened and gazed at
the conductor curiously. "NO, GER
tainly not" he replied. "That is com
pletely impossible Why did You ask?"
Connery avoided answer. But Avery
pushed forward. "What Is that?
What's thatg" he demanded.
"Will you go on with your exami-
nation, DoctorI" Connery urged.
"You said the bell from this berth
rang recently" Avery accused Con-
merry.
The pointer In the washroom, in
dicatlng a signal from this berth. was
turned down a minute ago" Connery
had to reply. "A few moments ear
ller all pointers had been set in the
position indicating no call"
THAT was before you found the
body?"
THAT was why l went TO the berth
yes" Connery replied; that was
before l found the body"
Then you mean you did not find
the body" Avery charged Someone
passing through this car minute or
so before you, must have found him ="
Connery attended without replying.
And evidently that man dared not
report it and could not wait longer
to know whether Mr.-Mr Dorne was
really dead; so he rang the bell!"
"Ought we keep Doctor Sinclair any
longer from the examination, slr?"
Connery now seized Avery's arm in
appeal The first thing for us to
know is whether Mr.. Dorne is dying.
Isn't"
Connery checked himself; he had
won his appeal. Eaton, standing qui-
etly watchful, observed that Avery S
eagerness TO accuse now had been
replaced by another interest which
the conductors words had recalled
Whether the man in the berth was to
live or ,die-evidently that was mo-
mentously to affect Donald Avery one
way or the other.
"Of course, by all means proceed
with your examination, Doctor"
Avery directed.
AS Sinclair again bent over the
body Avery leaned over also; Eaton
gazed down, and Connery-a little
paler than before and with lips tight
ly set.

shoulders jerked. and he drew back.
lnstinctively pressing his two clenched
hands against his chest and the pocket
which held President Jarvis order.
The man In the berth was lying on
his right side facing the aisle: the left
side of his face was thus exposed :
and II had been crushed in by a rio-
lent blow from some heavy weapon
which, too blunt TO cut the skin and
bring blood. had fractured the cheek
bone and bludgeoned the temple. The
proof of murderous violence was so
plain that the conductor, as he saw
the face in the light, recoiled with
staring eyes, white with horror.
He looked up and down the aisle
to assure himself that no one had
entered the car during his exanIna-
ton; then he carefully drew the cur
tains together again. and hurried to
the forward end of the car, where he
had left the porter.
Lock the rear door of the car" he
commanded. "Then come back here"
He gave the negro the keys. and
himself waited TO prevent anyone
from entering the car at his end.
Looking through the glass Of the door.
he saw the young man Eaton standing
In the vestibule OF the car next ahead.
Connery hesItated: then he opened
the door and beckoned Eaton to him
"Wnl you go forward, please" he
requested, "and see If there isn't II

That's the one"
Eaton started of without asking
any questions. The porter. having
locked the rear door OF the car, re-
turned and gave Connery back the
keys. Connery still waited. until Ea-
ton returned with the red-haired man.
He let them In and locked the door
behind them.
"You are a doctorT Connery ques-
toned the red-halred man.

HE is in the observation car" Ea-
ton answered.
'Will you go and get him? The car
door is locked The porter will let
you in and out. Something serious
has happened hereto Mr.. Dorne.
Get Mr.. Avery. If you can. without
alarming Mr.. Dornes daughter"
Eaton nodded understanding and
followed the porter. who, taking the
keys again from the conductor, let
him out at the rear door of the car
and reclosed the door behind him.
Eaton went on into the observation
car.
Without alarming Harriet Dorne. he
got Avery away and out OF the car.

October, was the subject discussed
before the Federal grand jury here
Thursday, when Clarke, who had

been charged that Garvey, as Pro

visited Clarke and proposed a union
of his forces with those of the Ku

little light on the matter that helped
the federal officials who are endeav-
