and this time, at sight of it.
Connery started violently, If Dorne
had rung, he must have moved; a 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, stiffly 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 it myself.”
He dismissed the negro and walted
until he had gone. He looked about
and assured himself that the car, ex:
cept 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, inertly,
and resumed Its former position and
hung as white and lifeless as beTore,
No response to the apology came from
behind the curtains: the man in the
berth had not roused. Connery rushed
back to the curtains and touched the
hand with his fingers. It was cold!
He seized the hand and felt it all
ever; then, gasping, he parted the cur
mains and looked into the berth. He
stared; his breath whistled out; his
———
shoulders jerked, and he drew back,
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 It had been crushed in by a vio
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, recolled 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 examina
tion; then he carefully drew the cur
tains together again, and hurried
the forward end of the car, where
had left the porter.

Avery pushed past him, and leaped
forward as he looked past the sur
geon. “What has happened to Mr.
Dorne?
“You see him as we found him, sir.”
Connery stared down nervously beside
him.
Avery leaned Inside the curtains
and recolled. “He's been murdered!”
“It 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,

of the reply; then, having finished his
list, he rejoined the surgeon.
Sinclair was still bending over the
naked torso, It had been a strong,
healthy body ; Sinclair guessed its age
at fifty. As a boy, the man might
have been an athlete-—a college track-
runner or oarsman--and he had kept
himself in condition through middle
age. There was no mark or bruise
upon the body, except that on the
right side and just below the ribs
there now showed a scar about an
inch and a half long and of peculiar
crescent shape. It was evidently a
surgieal sear and had completely
healed,
