The nan whose interest in the pas
senger In Section Three of the las
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, hac
seen the hand which hung out into
he aisle from between the curtains
but the only definite thought that
came to him was that Dorne was q
sound sleeper.
Nearly all the passengers had now
breakfasted. Connery, therefore. took
a seat in the diner, br~eakfasted lei
surely and after finishing, walked
back through the train. Dorne by
BOW must be up. and might wish TO
see the conductor.
AS Connery entered the last sleeper
nis 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 81 was pointing down.
Dorne 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 Mushroom.

asked.

porter answered.

As the negro started to obey. Con

He could see over the negro's shout
der the hand sticking out into the
aisle. and this time, at sight of IT,
Connery started violently. If Dorne
had rung, he must have moved a man
who is awake Toes 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. stiffiy separated q

instinctively 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 VIC
lent blow from some heavy weapon
which, too blunt to cut the skin and
bring blood, had fractured the cheek
bone and b~ludgeoned 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

had left the porter.

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

requested. "and see II there isn't q
