With the arrival of passenger train
No. l from Portland this morning At
1925 the main line of the Maine
Central railroad between Waterville
and Portland was opened up once
again after having been practically
closed since last Thursday morning

opening the bridge. The false work
that had been washed away on the
eastern end was replaced and the
whole bridge strengthened so as to
permit the usual train service once
more.

CHAPTER xxrv
The Screen OF Gold

Paul Harley raised his aching
head and looked YEARLY about him.
He lay in a small. barely furnished
room. having white dlstempered
walls. wholly moderated. Its few
appointments were Oriental. and the
only window which 1, boosted was set
so high as TO be well out of reach
Moreover. II was iron.barred, and at
the moment admitted no light. wheih.
or because II did not communicate
with the outer world. or because night
was fallen, he was unable to tell.
There were two doors in the room,
one OF very massive construction, and
the other n smaller one. The place
was dlmly lighted by brass lantern
which hung from the ceiling. Harley
stood up, staggered slightly, and then
sat down again.
For few moments no remained
seated. victim OF deadly nausea.
Then, clenching his jaws grimly,
again he stood up, and this time sue.
ceedcd In reaching the heavy door.
AS Ue IaH hupFpStui ~ was Ahhiif

to show him that his unaided effort
could never force It, He turned his
attention to the smaller door. which

room. Neither rooms boosted win.
dows. both being lighted by brass
lanterns.
Harley examined them and their
appointments with tho utmost care.
and then returned again to the outer
room. ono feature OF which, and quite
the most remarkable, he had reserved
for special investigation,
This was a massive screen of gIlded
iron scroll work. which occupied
nearly the whole of one end of the
room. Beyond the screen hung a
violet.colored curtain Of Oriental fab.
rIc; but so closely woven was the
metal design that altho he could
touch this curtain with his finger at
certain points, II proved impossible
for him to move II aside in any way.
