1t really looked as though Jack had been
telling the truth We drove away down
the boulevard Ramleh, Jack sitting up
straight and smoking a fat cigar, and then
we went on down the beach to San Stefano
where all the rich nobs live in fancy villas
facing the sea. 1t was a most romantic
place, can tell you, and it seemed to act
like charm on old Jack, who took me by
the arm and led me toward the beach. Very
soon he gives a whistle, and a woman
comes out of one of the verandas behind
big house and brings up alongside of us

TT WAS the custom of Capt. Hend-
erson of the Andusia to invite
M two or three of his passengers to
his room after dinner for cigar
and conversation. Nor were these
favored beings always drawn from
the distinguished diners at the cap
tain's table. The commander was a
vigorous and portly gentleman, far
from old and very much in charge of
the ship. AS the voyage progressed
he made his own selection of friends,
and a signal mark of regard was his
postprandial invitation to step up
to the bridge and enter the strictly
private region Capt. Henderson
spent most of his time. Sometimes
the doctor was one of the party, and
it was pleasant to observe the easy

Eyes, I've sent a wire after them
They will not be difficult to trace, as
they changed cars at the junction.
You saw or heard nothing unusual in
the car last night?"
Nothing except the snoring which
has already been mentioned
The conductor turned again to

"See here, conductor" Paul Rey
nolds broke in angrily, aren't you
going too far? Why is 1t necessary
for a little young thing like Miss
MenendeZ. friendless enough in a
strange land, to look at a corpse?

ductor now spoke for the first time.
/ you may place yourself in an un-
fortunate light by raising objections.
The young lady is perfectly safe with
us. Now then, miss, it won't take but
a minute"
Timidly. trembling from head to
foot, Carolita drew herself reluctantly
from her berth and allowed her gaze
to rest upon the face of the dead man.
One single instant only, an instant
charged with terrible foreboding. and
then, white as a sheet, she turned
and flung herself into. the first refuge
available, refuge which happened
to be the arms Of Paul Reynolds, who
lowered over her.
"Oh. no, no. she cried wildly. mo.

liquor as we supposed. Apparently he
had not been able to undress himself. y
NO, but he may have been robbed.
Something of value has been torn
from chain about his neck, If you'll
notice.
The adjutant stepped back, answer
ing firmly:
I'VE do not care to look again. No
doubt you know best We are very
sorry for the trouble it has caused
you and this young girl. Quite nat
urally it is within our province to
care for her. as she needs protection
You may consider us responsible for
her safety upon this train
Well" said the conductor, you
understand that there will be an in
quest and all that sort of thing, and
I'll have to detain you until the au-
thorities get your addresses in Los
Angeles. + don't set out to make any
trouble for anybody I'm only doing
my duty
We are quite sure Of that"
This girl thinks she'll be met in
Los Angeles, but if she's not Well be
glad to put her in your care for the
present. l suppose you're going to
one of your institutions there?"
I'VE are on an errand of mercy. l
will give you our address before we
reach the end of our Journey"
Just one thing more. You saw that
couple in the drawing room, the pair
this girl was playing cards with last
night?"
II noticed that the drawing room
was occupied"
Had you ever seen those people
before?'
Adjt. Gabrielle shook her head
did nof see them Clncoly Tbox,
did not speak to us or we to them"
And you saw or heard nothing I'M
usual ip the car at any time last
nighta".
II heard heavy breathing in the
early part of the night, one might al
most say snoring
But you say you saw nOthing?'
"No. We are excellent sleepers.'
During the conversation the porter
had been making up the adjoining
empty berth, lower three, and now
he threw in his comment:
Some one sure did lot of snoring,
boss, OATS de truf"
at seems to me-" said Paul Rev
nolds, who had remained standing in
the aisle during this interview and
was now examining the body of the
traveller, that this man has died
from natural causes, or possibly doped
liquor. He might have taken absinthe
without leaving noticeable traces, and
as far as the broken chain goes, might
he not have torn that off in trying
to loosen his collar?'
Then what was on the end of the
chain? We have searched the berth
thoroughly and found nothing. How
ever, that may be left for further in
vestigation, l have a few more ques-
tons to ask. Why does this young
lady call you Mr.. Reynolds? Your
ticket bears the name of Mark Day"

''He was on the boat with me? On
the Orizaba?" Carolita repeated won
deringly. What do you mean? l was
quite alone
Her question went unnoticed as two
Salvation Army laSSes emerged from
section and joined the group. while
at the same time the train conductor
entered and took his place beside his
brother official.
What has happened?" the taller of
the two lasses asked. Can we be Of
service?"
She was a slim, woman of about 40,
with a clear, pale skin. and delicate
features. her eyes being more or less
obscured by heavy shellerim glasses
Of a shaded cast, while black veil
covered her bonnet. concealing her
forehead and giving her face a curl
ously shortened appearance.
Most unfortunately, ma'am, a
death has occurred here in the car

Dear me-" the tall lass echoed in
shocked tones. looking paler and more
frail as she gave vent to her feelings,
dear me, Adjt. Joseph, this is sad,
indeed
The other lass. thus appealed to,
murmured something about God rest

tunity to question them.
You two women are travelling to-
gether to Los Angeles?'
Yes
Where did you start FROM"
Our headquarters are in the East.
We are upon an errand of mercy, and
Ii happens that we have come all the
way from New York in the same ear
with this young girl. Her lonely stu
alton has interested us deeply. We
are eager to care for her safety. We
heard YOU questioning her just now.
Is there no consideration for her youth
and friendlinesS?" Her tone was
critical, even severe, and the con-
ductor looked surprised.
There is no consideration for any
thing at a time like this, ma am" he
said. Everybody in the car must be
questioned. Your name is--?''
'Adjt: Gabrielle, and my companion
is adjt. Joseph
ITO what branch do you belong?"
ITO silent missionary branch"
Adit. Barbriella answered. I'VE are
workers for a great cause"
The conductor considered.
You say YOU have been travelling

I'm the same train with her. yes"

you make of it?"

II cannot say. Across the aisle, I
think
I'm sorry, but I shall have to ask
you to look at this man. You did not
speak to him."
Certainly not
You noticed nothing unusual about
him."
The woman hesitated, turning ques-
tioning eyes upon her companion, who
merely raised her eyebrows, saying:

very quietly, 1T is not for those in
our work TO gossip about strangers,
but as you tell US this man is dead, we
realize that you are but doing your
duty, and we shall add this much to
your knowledge of him. He came into
the car in an extremely intoxicated
condition. He swayed in the aisle and
fell heavily upon Adjt. Joseph. 1t
was most embarrassing to us
He did. Porter why didn't you
mention that"
Didn't see it, Sah"'

LET US BE FAIR WITH

When I judge the merits Of a

And that is the only way to judge
movie melodrama-by its own

In the old days when me could
get into the roost Of a legitimate
theater for a couple OF thin dimes
plus a jitIley, melodrama was much
in demand. At one time, as far as
the road was concerned, melodrama
set the pace.
And as I looked at. THE Midnight
Flyer" an old melodramatic theme

thought of those good old melo-
drama days of the past.
The fact is, IL you do not care for
melodrama, you don't, and there Is
no middle ground. l consider melo-
require that it must be well done
and have a sufficient amount OF
realism to lift it to the realm of big
theatre.
A train wreck does not force a
movie into that class. 1t depends
on the way that the suspense IS
worked up. 1.-THE Midnight Flyer"
