CHAPTER III.
Across the Aisle.
No Folution offering itself, I went
hack to my berth. Tht snorer across
had apparently strangled, or turned
over, and so after a time I dropped
asleep, to be awakened by the morn
ing sunlight across my face.
I felt for my watch, yawning pro
digiously. I reached under the pillow
and failed to find it, but something
scratched the back of my hand. I sat
up irritably and nursed the wound,
which was bleeding a little. Still
drowsy. I felt more cautiously for
what I supposed had been my scarf
pin. but there was nothing there.
Wide awake now, I reached for my
traveling bag. on the chance that I
had put my watch in there. I had
drawn the satchel to me and had my
hand on the lock berore I realized
that it was not my own!
Mice was of alligator hide. I had
killed the beast in Florida, after the
expenditure of enough money to have
bought a house and enough energy to
have built one. The bag I held in my
hand was a black one, sealskin, I
think. The staggering thought of
what the loss of my bag meant to me
put my finger on the bell and kept it
there until the porter came.
"Did you ring, sir?" he asked, pok
ing his head through the curtains ob
sequiously. McKnight objects that
nobody can poke his head throught
a curtain and be obsequious. But Pull
man porters can and do.
"No," I snapped. "It rang Itself.
What in thunder do you mean by ex
changing my valise for this one?
You'll have to find it if you waken the
entire car to do It. There are Impor
tant papers In that grip."
"Porter," called a feminine voice
from an upper berth near by. "Porter,
am I to dangle here all day?"
"Let her dangle." I said savagely.
"You find that bag of mine."
The porter frowned. Then he
looked at me with injured dignity. "I
brought In your overcoat, sir. You
carried your own valise."
The fellow was right! In an excess
or caution I had refused to relinquish
my alligator bag. and had turned over
my other traps to the porter. It was
clear enough then. I was simply a
victim of the usual sleeping car rob
bery. I was in a lather of perspira
tion by that time: The lady down the
car was still dangling and talking
about it; still nearer a feminine voice
v as giving quick orders in French,
presumably to a maid. The porter
was on his knees, looking under the
berth.
"Not there, sir." he said, dusting his
knees. He was visibly more cheerful,
having been absolved of responsibili
ty. "Reckon it was taken while you
was wanderin" around the car last
night."
"I'll give you $a0 if you find it," I
said. "A hundred. Reach up my
shoes and I'll "
1 stopped abruptly. My eyes were
fixed in stupefied amazement on a
coat that hung from a hook at the
foot of my berth. From the coat they
traveled, dazed, o the soft-bosomed
shirt beside It, and from there to the
collar and cravat in the net hammock
across the windows.
"A hundred!" the porter repeated,
showing his teeth. But I caught him
by the arm and pointed to the foot of
the berth.
"What what color's that coat?" I
asked unsteadily.
"Gray, sir." His tone was one of
gentle reproof
"And the trousers?"
He reached over and held up one
creased leg. "Gray, too." he grinned.
"Gray!" 1 could not believe even his
corroboration of my own eyes. "But
my clothes were blue!" The porter
was amused; he dived under the cur
tains and brought up a pair of shoes.
"Your shoes, sir," he said with a
nourish. "Reckon you've been dream
ing, sir."
Now. there are two things I always
avoid in my dress possibly an idio
syncracy of my bachelor existence.
These tabooed articles are red neck
ties and tan shoes. And not only were
the shoes the porter lifted from the
lloor of a gorgeous shade of yellow,
but the scarf which was run through
the turned over collar was a gaudy
red. It took a full minute for the real
import of things to penetrate my
dazed intelligence. Then I gave a
vindictive kick at the offending en
temble. "They're not mine, any of them," I
snarled. "They are some other fel
low's. I'll" sit here until I take root
before I put them on."
"They're nice lookin clothes." the
porter put in, eying the red tie with
appreciation. "Ain't everybody would 1
have left you anything."
"Call the conductor," I said short
ly. Then a possible explanation oc
curred to me. "Oh. porter what's
the number of this berth?"
"Seven, sir. If you cain't wear
those shoes "
"Seven!" In my relief I almost
shouted It "Why, then, it's simple
enough. I'm in the wrong berth,
that's all. My berth is nine. Only
where the deuce is the man who be
longs here?"
"Likely In nine, sir." The darky
was enjoying himself. "You and the
other gentleman just got mixed in the

night. That's all, sir." It was clear
that he thought I had been drinking.
I drew a long breath. Of course,
that was the explanation. This was
number seven's berth, that was bis
soft hat, this his umbrella, his coat,
his bag. My rage turned to irritation
at myself.
The porter went to the next berth
and I could hear his softly insinuat
ing voice. "Time to get up, sir. Are
you awake? Time to get up."
There was no response from num
ber nine. I guessed that he had
opened the curtains and was looking
in. Then he came back.
"Number nine's empty," he said.
"Empty! Do you mean my clothes
aren't there?" I demanded. "My va
lise? Why don't you answer me?"
"You doan' give me time," he retort
ed. "There ain't nothln' there. But
it's been slept in."
The disappointment was the greater
for my few moments of hope. I sat
up in a white fury and put on the
clothes that had been left me. Then,
still raging, I sat on the edge of the
berth and put on the obnoxious tan
shoes. The porter, called to his du
ties, made little excursions back to
me, to offer assistance and to chuckle
at my discomfiture. He stood by, out
wardly decorous, but with little irri
tating grins of amusement around his
mouth, when I finally emerged with
the red tie In my hand.
"Bet the owner of those clothes did
not become them any more than you
do," he said, as he plied the ubiquitous
whisk broom.
"When I get the owner of these
clothes," I retorted grimly, "he will
need a shroud. Where's the con
ductor?" The conductor was coming, he as
sured me; also that there was no bag
answering the description of mine on
the car. I slammed my way to the
dressing room, washed, choked my
fifteen and a half neck into a fifteen
collar, and was back again in less
than five minutes. The car, as well as
its occupants, was gradually taking
on a daylight appearance. I hobbled
in, for one of the shoes was abomin
ably tight, and found myself facing a
young woman in blue with an unfor
getable face. ("Three women already."
McKnlght says: "That's going some,
even if you don't count the Gilmore
nurse.") She stood, half -turned to
ward me. one hand Idly drooping, the
iwir

other steadying her as she gazed out
at the flying landscape. I had an in
stant impression that I had met her
somewhere, under different circum
stances, more cheerful ones. I thought,
for the girl's dejection now was evi
dent. Beside her. sitting down, a small
dark woman, considerably older, was
talking in a rapid undertone. The
girl nodded indifferently now and then.
I fancied, although I was not sure,
that my appearance brought a startled
look into the young woman's face. I
sat down. and. hands thrust deep into
the other man's pockets, stared rue
fully at the other man's shoes.
The stage was set In a moment
the curtain was going up on the first
act of the play. And for a while we
would all say our little speeches and
sing our little songs, and I, the vil
lain, would hold center stage while the
gallery hissed.
The porter was standing beside low
er ten. He had reached in and was
knocking valiantly. But his efforts
met with no response. He winked at
me over his shoulder; then he unfast
ened the curtains and bent forward.
Behind him. I saw him stiffen, heard
his muttered exclamation, saw the
bluish pallor that spread over his
face and neck. As he retreated a
step the interior of lower ten lay open
to the day.
The man in it was on his back, the
early morning sun striking full on
his upturned face. But the light did
not disturb him. A small stain of red
dyed the front of his night clothes
and trailed across the sheet: his half
open eyes were fixed, without seeing,
on the shining wood above.
I grasped the porter's shaking shoul
T.G.
ders and stared down to where the
train' imparted to the body a grisly
suggestion of motion. "Good Lord." I
gasped, "the man's been murdered!"
CHAPTER IV.
Numbers Seven and Nint.
Afterward, when I tried to recall our
discovery of the body in lower ten, I
found that my most vivid impression
was not that made by the revelation
of the opened curtain. I had an in
stantaneous picture of a slender blue
gowned girl who seemed to sense my
words rather than hear them, of' two
small hands that clutched desperately
at the seat beside them. The girl in
the aisle stood, bent toward us, per
plexity and alarm fighting In her face.
With twitching hands the porter at
tempted to draw the curtains togeth
er. Then in a paralysis of shock, he
collapsed on the edge of my berth and
sat there swaying. In my excitement
I shook him.
"For heaven's sake, keep your
nerve, man," I said bruskly. "You'll
have every woman in the car in hys
terics. And if you do, you'll wish
you could change places with the man
in there." He rolled his eyes.
A man near, who had been read
ing last night's paper, dropped It
quickly and tiptoed toward us. He
peered between the partly open cur
tains, closed them quietly and went
back, ostentatiously solemn, to his
seat. The very crackle with which he
opened his paper added to the burst
ing curoslty of the car. For the pas
sengers knew that something was
amiss: I was conscious of a sudden
tension.
With the curtains closed the por
ter was more himself; he wiped his
lips with a handkerchief and stood
erect.
"It's my last trip In this car." he re
marked heavily. "There's something
wrong with that berth. Last trip the
woman in it took an overdose of some
sleeping stuff, and we found her, jes'
like that, dead! And it ain't more'n
three months now since there was
twins born in that very spot. No sir,
it ain't natural."
At that moment a thin man with
prominent eyes and a spare grayish
goatee creaked up the aisle and
paused beside me.
"Porter sick?" be Inquired, taking In
with a professional eye the porter's
horror-struck face, my own excite
ment and the slightly gaping curtains
of lower ten. He reached for the
darky's pulse and pulled out an old
fashioned gold watch.
"Hm! Only fifty! What's the mat
ter? Had a shock?" he asked
shrewdly.
"Yes," I answered for the porter.
"We've both had one. If you are a
doctor. I wish you would look at the
man in the berth across, lower ten.
I'm afraid it's too late, but I'm not ex
perienced in such matters."
Together we opened the curtains,
and the doctor, bending down, gave a
comprehensive glance that took in the
rolling head, the relaxed jaw, the ugly
stain on the sheet. The examination
needed only a moment. D-ath was
written in the clear white of the nos
trils, the colorless lips, the smooth
ing away of the sinister lines of the
night before. With Its new dignity
the face was not unhandsome; the
gray hair was still plentiful, the feat
urer. strong and well cut.
The doctor straightened himself and
turned to me. "Dead for some time,"
be said, running a professional finger
over the stains. These are dry and
darkened, you see, and rigor mortis
is well established. A friend of
yours?"
"I don't know him at all," I replied.
"Never saw him but ones before."
'Then you don't know If he Is trav
eling alone?"
"No, he was not that Is, I don't
know anything about him." I correct
ed myself. It was my first blunder;
the doctor glanced up at me aulcklv
and then turned his attention agaia to
the body. Like a flash there had come
to me the vision of the woman wit
the bronze hair and the tragic face,
whom I had surprised in the vesti
bule between the cars, somewhere im
the small hours of the morning. I had
acted on my first impulse the mascu
line one of shielding a woman.
The doctor had unfastened the coat
of the striped pajamas and exposed
the dead man's chest. On the left
side was a small punctured wound of
insignificant size.
"Very neatly done," the doctor said
with appreciation. "Couldn't have
done it better myself. Right through
the intercostal space; no time even
to grunt."
"Isn't the heart around there some
where?" I asked. The medical man
turned toward me and smiled au
sterely. 'That's where it belongs, just under
that puncture, when it Isn't gadding
around In a man's throat or his boots."
I had a new respect for the doctor,
for any one indeed who could crack
even a feeble joke under such circum
stances, or who could run an imper
sonal finger over that wound and
those stains. Odd how a healthy, nor
mal man holds the medical profession
in half contemptuous regard until he
gets sick, or an emergency like this
arises, and then turns meekly to the
man who knows the ins and outs of
his mortal tenement, takes his pills
or his patronage, ties to him like
rudderless ship in a gale.
"Suicide. Is it, doctor?" I asked.
He stood erect, after drawing the
bed-clothing over the face, and, ta
king off his glasses, he wiped them
slowly.
"No, it Is not suicide," he announced
decisively. "It is murder."
Of course, I had expected that, but
the word itself brought a shiver. I
was just a bit dizzy. Curious faces
through the car were turned toward
us, and I could hear the porter behind
me breathing audibly. A stout wom
an in negligee came down the aisle
and querulously confronted the por
ter. She wore a pink dressing-jacket
and carried portions of her clothing.
"Porter," she began, in the voice of
the lady who had "dangled." "Is there
a rule of this company that will al
low a woman to occupy the dressing
room for one hour and curl her hair
with an alcohol lamp while respect
able people haven't a place where
they can hook their "
She stopped suddenly and stared In
to lower ten. Her shining pink cheeks
grew pasty, her jaw felt I remember
trying to think of something to say,
and of saying nothing at alL Then
she had burled her eyes in the non
descript garments that hung from her
arm and tottered back the way she
had come. Slowly a little knot of men
gathered around us. silent for the most
part The doctor was making a
search of the berth when the conduct
or elbowed his way through, followed
by the inquisitive man, who had evi
dently summoned him. I had lost
sight, for a time, of the girl in blue.
"Do it himself?" the conductor
queried after a business-like glance at
the body.
"No, he didn't," the doctor assert
ed. 'There's no weapon here, and the
window is closed. He couldn't have
thrown it out. and he didn't swallow
it. What on earth are you looking
for, man?"

NEAT SCHEME OF REVENGE
Will Made by Maiden Lady Wilt Cause
Her to Be Long if Not Grate
fully Remembered.
An extraordinary will has been left
by an elderly unmarried lady who re
cently died in Vienna. Her property,
amounting to about $250,000. is ap
pointed to be divided between her
three nephews, now aged 24. 2? and
29. and her three nieces, aged 19. 21
and 22. In equal parts on the follow
ing conditions:
The six nephews and nieces must
all live in the house formerly inhab
ited by their aunt, with the executor,
a lawyer, whose business it will be to
see that the conditions of the will
are strictly observed. None of the
nephews is to marry before reaching
his fortieth year, nor the nieces be
fore their thirtieth, under the penalty
that the share of the one so marrying
will be divided among the others.
Further, the six legatees are ad
monished never to quarrel among
themselves. If one should do souper
sistently the executor is empowered
to turn him or her out of the house
and divide the share as in the case of
marriage.
The executor Is himself forbidden to
marry or to reside elsewhere than in
the house with the legatees as long
as he holds his office, to which a
handsome remuneration Is attached.
The old maid is said to have made
this peculiar will because her nephews
and nieces continually worried her
during her life by asking her to give
them money to enable them to marry
requests she always refused.
Teetotaler Had Last Word.
On the shore at one of the narrow
est parts of that dangerous waterway
known as "The Inside Route" to
Alaska there rests the hull of a
wrecked ship. It is an object that
immediately attracts the eyes of all
who voyage that way. A whisky
manufacturer decided that there was
an excellent opportunity to advertise
bis bottled goods. So he had painted
in huge letters on the side of the
wrecked ship:
USE REDNOSE WHISKY.
And it was here that a teetotaler
saw his opportunity for a short but
vivid sermon. A few weeks later the
side of the wrecked ship blossomed
forth with these two additional words
in equally big letters:

Vast Sum Which We Spend on Peanuts
THE person who buys a nickel's
worth of peanuts to munch at the
ball game, to feed the squirrels in the
park or to gladden the hearts of chil

he has contributed to an industry that
last year formed a million-dollar crop,
and which placed on the market In
various forms, reached the enormous
sum of $36,000,000. But It Is a fact,

WASHINGTON. Added to his al

Wilson, the secretary of agriculture.
Is now made by congress the chief bug
Inspector of the United States. It
came about with the passage of a
law Identical with the pure food and
drug act, but covering all insecticides
and fungicides. The enforcement of
the law, as In the pure food law, Is
vested In a commission consisting of
the secretary of the treasury, the sec
retary of commerce and labor and the
secretary of agriculture. But the two
cabinet officers first named are sort of
commissioners emeritus. The real
work comes down to the secretary of
agriculture.
The bug commission has appointed
the legal officers of the three depart
ments, R. E. Cabell, commissioner of
internal revenue; Charles Early, so
licitor of the department of com
merce and labor, and George P. Mc

feat. Their latest estimate credits
her with "not above 70.000.000 years,
or below 55,000.000 years." This esti
mate, given official sanction through
publication by the Smithsonian insti
tution in Washington, is the result of
studies by Frank WIgglesworth
Clarke and George F. Becker of the
United States geological survey, who
have followed the subject with consid
erable interest.
Prof. Clarke, in a paper entitled "A
Preliminary Study of Chemical De
nudation." presents a review of all the
available data not only for the United
States, but for the world of tho propo
sition from a chemical point of view.
Mr. Becker, on the other hand, dis
cusses the question in a paper on "The

personality of the new chief of staff
will have on the army Is a matter of
much moment to the officers who
know something of his strenuous ca
roots of the plant, which furnishes
nitrogen to it from the sir.
The result of all this is that scien
tists claim that the peanut, which in
the past was not very highly regard
ed, Is the only food staple that will
at once nourish man, beast, bird and
fields. It Is the most nutritious of the

and fat They average about 350 to
a pound at a cost of ten cents, the
edible portion is 73.6. waste 26.4, and

The farming of peanuts during the
past five years not longer than this
has become an established Industry
of this country. At present about five
sixths of the crop comes from Vir
ginia and most of the balance from
Tennessee, Georgia, West Virginia
and the Carollnas, although most of
the southern states contribute some.

so has the use of all nuts grown
mightily as an article of food during
the last decade, and the entire fam

of the diet of the physical culturlst

Now the Bug Man
Insect might be repelled or destroyed,
they did not see bow they could pre
vent an Insect or mitigate him.
The law is specific in declaring
against misbranding insecticides. If a
well-meaning citizen of the United
States puts up a compound that he
says will rid a house of, say, bugs,
within a specified length of time,
there seems no way to determine
whether the compound Is mlsbrand
ed, unless the secretary of agriculture
goes to the premises and holds a
stop-watch on the roaches, to see
whether they mitigate or vacate with
in the time limit
The biological survey has issued an
informal statement already.saylng that
the law Is remiss In that it does not
include rats among the Insects to
be prevented. An effort is being made
to see whether the law officers are
willing to consider rats as Insects.
Dr. Henshaw of the Diological sur
vey and Prof. Crittenden of the bu

Her Age
. ecf the Earth" from a more philo
sophical point of view.
The age of the earth always has
been a subject for discussion among
men of science and largely without
any definite agreement among the
representatives of the different
branches of studies on account of the
different points of attack.
Briefly, the more recent discussions
as to the earth's age have placed the
time as follows:
Lord Kelvin, in 1863, estimated the
earth's age at 20.000,000 to 40.000.000
and perhaps 98,000.000 years.
Clarence King and Carl Bams, in
1833. placed the age at 24.000.000
years.
Lord Kelvin in 1897 revised his fig
ures from 20.000.000 to 40.000.000
years.
De Lapparent. In 1890. said It was
67,000.000 to 90,000.000 years.
Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the
Smithsonian institution, in 1893, placed
the maximum age at 70.000,000 years.
J. Joly, in 1899, estimated the age
or the ocean at 80.000.000 to 90.000.000
years.
W. J. Sollas, In 1909. placed the
age of the ocean at 80.000.000 to 150,
000,000 years.
Stir Up the Army
reer.
It is expected he will under-
take most actively a number of re
forms which might not meet with the
approval of the army at large.
One of the questions which will be
taken up by General Wood Is the
physical test of officers. Since Presi
dent Roosevelt inaugurated this sys
tem, many officers have been hoping
that it would be modified. General
Wood Is one of the foremost of phys
ical culture enthusiasts.
Instead of being made milder, it is
not unlikely that the tests will be
made harder than ever. The detail
of troops to the Philippines is an
other matter that will be disposed of
by General Wood very soon. He has
also a number of Ideas regarding co
operation between the regular army
and the militia which he will prob
ably attempt to put Into practise.
General Carter, who has been act
ing chief of staff, will take his place
as assistant chief. General Bliss,
whom he succeeds, will go to San
Francisco to relieve General Barry,
who takes command of West Point
