"Peter Johnson!** sbs repeated, slowly. 'So, I was right. Hs was in the plot. Ho bad something to do with Uncle Robert's disappearance). Ha waa the one who broke the amyl pearls on board the yacht." It was my turn now to start. Of what was this young woman talking? "Amyl pearls 1" Waa I mad. or was aha? She aaw my perplexity, and hasten? ed to enlighten me. -Oh. dear, Philip!" she exclaimed. "I forgot again. There Is so much to tell you. Really, I hardly know where to begin, atlas Clement has been of ssaeh aid to us! She Is what they call an 'independent missionary.' That Is, aha has no affiliation with any of the church societies or reform associa? tions, for fifteen years she has been working In Chinatown among the I white women, and aha knows the place and the people as if she were Indeed one of them. I had her out at Cragbott for a dar and Pre aeon her four or fire tlmea here In town, and I have told her everything, and she has explained, or at least given quite rea? sonable surmises, concerning many of the incidents that aeemed to ua Inex? plicable Did you evtr hear of amyl pearls r Of course I had hoard something of amyl pearls, and I said so. Thsy are glass oapeuree," I added, **aad contain a liquid which smells like bananas They nee them, I be Hera, hi heart attacks, by crushing ?hem hi a handkerchief and Inhaling the drag." But it waa not the same drug, Eve? lyn explained. MliS Clement had told 1 her all about it. She doubted that It ? was an amyl. at all. though It was put ' up In the same fashion, and released 1 In the same way, and it was like an amyl, la that It was extremely vola tu*. I "Mtta Clement has never seen one ?rf tbem," Evelyn continued, "but aome of the Chinese have told her of th?m. and of the wonders that they perform She says the chemical, whatever it la. Is very expensive and so they are seldom used, but that in China, especially In secret govern? ment enterprises, they are employed on occasion. The effect Is seemingly to mske invisible the person who ' uaea them. Really, they don't do any? thing of the tort; for they are noth? ing more nor less than capsules, filled with a peculiarly-acting anesthetic? 1 aa anesthetic so quick and powerful hi Its action that the victim falls into Insensibility without warning, and ?merges, sfter an Interval of ten or twelve minutes, without knowing that ne lost consciousness or that more than a single second has elapsed." "The Idea se*ms ingenious," I re- I turned. 1 waa Interested, surely, but eary far from convinced. "But," I objected, "how Is It that the anaes thettser Is no/, anaesthetised himself?" "Oh. he doesn't break the pearU un? der his own nose," Evelyn explained. "He casts them. The slightest con? cussion fractures the shel', and every one within a certain radlu* drops in? stantly Into a temporary trance." "And the swine before whim the pearls are cast, do they drop to the ground to rise again when tae ten or twelve minutes are concluded?" I ridiculed. "Oh, not at all. Vour muscles are not relaxed. You stand or sit as If turned suddenly to stone. If your arm la extended, for Instance, It remains la that position uutll the effect . ceases* She was very muc\ In earli? est, and tried to persuade me that, aldV.'d by these pearls, it would be a eery easy matter to commit all three of the depredato-y acts which had so am-:?(I and .-.'nocked us. I am the last man to regard any? thing as Impossible In this day of won? ders, yet I was by no means willing to accept such a solution merely on the hearsay evidence of a woman who had apent a decade and a half amongst the Chines* of New York City. -Yes. Evelyn." I said, tolerantly, "It la worth considering, and at the first opportunity I shall look Into It. Put just now there must he more Impor? tant mat'ers for you nnd me to dls cuss.

Did you ever hear of euch im? pertinence? I wanted Miss Clement to take me to him that I might tell him what I thought of hin outrageous conduct, but she refused. She says he stands very high amongst his peo? ple, and that It is not well to antag? onise hlin." I smiled at her indignation. "After all," I said, "he isn't so much to blame. I must have cut a rather undig? nified figure chasing Mr. Johnson through Doyers street, and then fall? ing down cellar stairs. When I am able to get out again, I shall go to Mr. Tup and apologise." But before I was able to get out again, I changed my mind. To be Quite definite I changed It that same evening, when, In reading the reports of O'Hara, the detective who for near? ly two weeks had been shadowing the red giant, Phlletus Murphy, I came upon this entry: ". . . At 6:27 he entered the Mott street store of the Yup Sing Com? pany, remaining until 6:42, when he came out with a tall, thin, well-dressed Chinaman, said to be Tup Sing, him? self. Together they went to Chlng Wung's restaurant on Doyers street From there a Chinaman known as Muk Choen returned with Murphy to Cos Cob." And the date of this occurrence was the day following my Chinatown mis? adventure. CHAPTER XVI. A Slump In Crystal Consolidated. The week of my convalescence was not eventful. Evelyn and Mrs. Lan- , caster called dally, and the reports from O'Hara came each morning with unvarying regularity and equally un varying lack of Import. The artist, after his visit to Tup Sing, had re turnefl to his Cos Cob hermitage, ac? companied by a successor to K? for? mer unfortunate Chlceee servant, and now rarely left his own grounds, j Gravid with suggestion as his appear? ance in Chinatown had seemed st first, I soon came to realise that it might possibly bear no more vital signifi? cance than that altogether common? place proceeding, the Quest of a cook. And In ths absence of any continue- j tory evidence to the contrary, and ' with the knowledge gleaned from Miss Clement that Tup Stag, on occasions, i added to his regul?r business of mer- , chandislng that of an employment . agent, I saw no reason to attach an undue Importance to the Incident Nevertheless 1 relinquished none of my suspicions regarding Murphy, but continued the detective's surveillance with a fresh Injunction to vigilance. And 1 did not apologise to Tup Sing. , Miss Clement, to whom I bflicve I owe my life, visited me at my request, j How I whelmed her with my gratitude la no more material than how she en- , deavored to make light of her service to me, declaring that such offices were a part of her day's work in her chosen field, and that her day's work was her passion. And yet It was this part of our interview which gave me my strongest Insight Into her exceptional- ! ly worthy character. Absolutely un? selfish, she Joyed in a life that even a religious fanatic might well have quailed before; finding flowers in muck heaps and Jewels amid tinsel. , In five minutes, too, I glimpsed her abounding magnetism, the moving , agent In that rare efficiency which was part and parcel of her. Later, I learned of the weight of her Influence among the dwellers In the Chinese colony; not from any direct narrative of what the had accomplished?for she was chary of speaking of herself?but by deduction, purely. Moreover, my watch, a few trinkets and a little money, taken from me that night in Doyers street, had all been returned through Miss Clement's good offices; and if. thus far, she had afforded U3 no real clew in our absorbing exi? gency, I felt that ultimately her knowl? edge, coupled with he4 resourceful? ness, would prove to us of unbounded value. And, as events shaped them? selves, I was not wrong. It was now nearly four weeks since Cameron's disappearance, and a fear that he had met dea;h In some fiend? ish form at the hands of his abductors had come to be with me very nearly an obsession. The care I exercised in hiding my real state of mlud from Evelyn could not well bo exaggerated. When I appeared to her most hopeful I was actually most despairing. With Miss Clement, however, I hac no rea? son to dissemble. With all frankness I told her of my despair; and when, instead of trying to comfort me with empty words of encouragemen*. she agreed with me that the chancts of our ever seeing Cameron again wore at a minimum, I liked her the better for "being straightforward. "I sometimes feel," I said to her, making full confession, "that we mads a terrible: mistake in not at once noti? fying the authorities. Even now I am inclined to lay the matter before them, Anything would be better than un<?r talnty. A few arrests and the third degree mtfht work wonders." "Where WOtlld you start?" she Raked In a blunt, logical way that reminded me of aTvelya'l faculty of going to the mot of things. "You tee, you know i > little. The story about the portrait and the mirror, the police would re? gard as more amusing than convinc? ing. And besides, you haven't any ptOOf. Yup Sine, you tell ine, has the only original letter, and by this time ho may have lost it or have forgotten thai be SVer bad it. If you had seen as much of Iba Chinese as 1 have, yog would appreciate how wily they are. My belief is that the police would con . lade thai Mr. Cameron fell overboard from his yacht and was drowned, In* deed It WOUld be fortunate if they did not take the view that be Jumped overboard and committed suicide, or. \ ores stillt {t would not be beyond them, Mr Clyde, to charge that you pushed him over. The yellow papers would almost certainly Intimate such a possibility." Had some one else ' voiced this suggestion I should prob? ably have resented It, but I under? stood Miss Clement. She was as kind as her eyes indicated; and that is speaking very strongly. "Nevertheless," I said, with growing determination, "I shall make the case public. It is my duty, and I am will? ing to run all the risks you point out. I shall start by making a complaint againBt Peter Johnson. We'll have hira arrested, get his record, and fol? low along that trail until we turn up the other conspirators. If poor Cam? eron's shares fall in the market, they'll hava to fall. If the notoriety precipi? tates a delayed fatality of which Cam? eron Is the victim, it cannot be helped. I simply will not longer shoulder the responsibility of silence." The way she had of silent delibera? tion was almost masculine. I can see h*.% even now, as she sat there that afternoon, her hair the same shade I of gray as her cloth gown, her fresh, | clear complexion lined In thought, her kindly eyes half closed. For the better part of a minute she pondered, j Then, suddenly, her face awok?, arid i she asked me: j "Will you wait three days longer? That is all. I have channels of lnfor- j mation that are closed to the police, j even. There are men in Chinatown, ' and women too, who would lay down j .heir lives for me. I think some of them would even betra> their friends, which la still a greater sacrifice. Wait three days, Mr. Clyde, and if at the end of that time I have not learned for you what you want to know, go on ! with your publicity idea." It was now my turn to be thought? ful. Evelyn believed In the woman's ability to aid. She had said as much to me. And I myself possessed a cer? tain degree of faith In feminine intui? tion. Aside from that, though, Miss Clement had demonstrated that she wielded a certain power in her baili? wick?waa not my watch, at that mo? ment, in my pocket??and her whole personality proclaimed inherent ca? pacity for accomplishment "Very well. Miss Clement," I agreed. "I will wait three days. It Is now Sat? urday, November 14. If by this time Tuesday afternoon we are not, at least, on the track of something tan? gible, I shall bo on my way to Mul? berry street." Sunday was with me a day of Im? patience. I fretted now at confine? ment, for my ankle was quite strong agsln, and I was perfectly well in other respects, too. But my physician had set Monday for my first day out, and he refused to concede even a twenty-four-hour change of plan. P>ut I chafed more even at .he inactivity to which I had agreed concerning Ca.- Ton than at the confinement. All at once, I had become Imbued with a necessity for prompt and strenuous measures. Some awful thing, I knew not what, r^med ominously Immi? nent, and remorse tore at me torment lngly. Early Monday, I telephoned Mies Clement for tidings of her progress, bat she could only implore me to wait. She had nothing to report, but she was encouraged. With my hands thus tied diversion was my only refuge, and an accumulation of office work into Walch I plunged served, In part at ? least, this purpose. Evelyn and Mrs. Lancaster had come in from Greenwich and opened the Cameron town house, a great white granite Renaissance affair, on Upper Fifth avenue, facing the park; | and because the girl had made mo promise, I lunched there; but I went ! with less graoe than ever before, un- . certain as I was of my self-control. | Evelyn's faith in Miss Clement, how? ever, was contagious. She spoke of little else, and when I came away it was with Strengthened hope of speedy results. It is my habit to glance over the earlier editions of all the evening pa- 1 pers before leaving my office, and lat? er, either on the train to Greenwich ; or, when in town, at my club, to read more carefully the later issues of the News and Star. On this particular day, however, a succession of matters of more Importance prevented my looking at so much as a headline, un- , til, seated at dinner, in the club res- i taurant, I saw on a window ledge be eido me one of the more sensational of the afternoon dailies, and appro? priated it In lieu of better companion? ship, j It was one of those journals which, in catering to the tastes of the prole? tariat, conceive it wise to minimize their references to Wall street, save only when a marked slump or a panic pointR the moral of the unscrupulous capitalist and hie heinous crimes. When, therefore, long, bold-face type attracted my eye with the announce? ment, "Fall in Crystal Consolidated," I smarted to -cad the subjoined ar h ie. confident enough that some director or directors had been Ppitted for bar? becue. And before 1 had read live II ii< r 1 came upon the name of Robert Cameron. If I was to helievo this introductory paragraph, my friend was tt. Crystal Consolidated whal John D, Rockefel? ler was to Standard Oil, >e? in the months )f our intimacy he had made no reference to this connection; and, though I 'aus thoroughly familiar with the "errat glass trust," BS it was Called, and With the name of its multi? millionaire master, strangely enough I had never connected the Cameron I kn< w with this Cameron, the Captain of Industry. "I tun," h?> had sanl. in nil modesty, "largely Interested in a certain line of Industrial enterprises." That was till. I suppoae i ?houTd have known; a i l yet, "no prophet is without honor, save in his oa n country." The newspaper article I now r^ad, however, left no room for doubt on the subject; and, Incidentally in a single sentence, revealed the secret of how Cameron had succeeded In escaping that general recognition which Is usu? ally the penalty of greatness. "He has never sat for a photograph." But, while this part of the article interested, that which followed startled and perplexed me: "Crystal Consolidated fell to 103 today," it went on, "because of a per? sistent rumor that Robert Cameron is seriously 111, in a New England sani? tarium. The greatest secrecy has been maintained as to his malady and his whereabouts by those who are in a position to know. It has been ascer? tained, however, that after spending a quiet summer at his country place, Cragholt, on Long Island sound, near Greenwich, he started on October 21, on his fast st. u yacht Sibylla for a cruise along tht New England coast. Ten days later the Sibylla returned, but Mr. Cameron was not on board. "It Is known that he has been in ill health for months, and there are those who now declare that he has sought the seclusion of an institution for the treatment of nervous diseases, near Boston, his condition being criti? cal. "Inquiry, today, at his Fifth avenue home in this city, and at his Connecti? cut country seat, was fruitless. Mr. Cameron was at neither place, and the servants expressed ignorance concern? ing his present address. "At the offices of the Crystal Con? solidated Manufacturing company and at those of the missing financier's brokers, Hatch & Hastings, evasion was the keynote of the answers to all questions. UU BE CONTINUED) MEDAL FOB AMUNDSEN. Geographic Society Honors South Pole Discoverer at Annual Banquet. Washington. Jan. 11.?Capt. Roald Amundsen, the noted Norwegian ex? plorer, was formally recognized for the first time in the United States to? night as the discoverer of the South Pole and honored for his achievement with a special gold medal by the Na? tional Geographic Society at Its an? nual banquet, where he was guest of honor. Beside Capt. Amundsen sat Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary, U. S. N., retired to whom the society two years ago gave a similar medal, recog? nizing him as the discoverer of the North Pole. The Amundsen medal bears the inscription: "This special medal awarded by the National Geographic; Society to Capt. Roald Amundsen for his Antarctic achievements resulting in f.he attain? ment of the South Pole, December 14th, 1911." On the other side is a chart of the south pole region surrounded by a wreath of laurels with the emblem of the National Geogra] hie Society at Its base. A distinguished company attended the banquet to honor the distinguish? ed foreigner, who a year and a month ago, lacking a few days, reached the goal which many noble explorers be? fore him had striven for. Capt. Amundsen in replying to the speech of the presentation, modestly tried to minimize his own great accomplish? ment and g ive Strong words of praise to those who ha<i preceded him in the Antarctic fields. When Capt. Amund? sen arose to accept the medal a great salvo of applause greeted him, am? bassadors, ministers, scientists, nun prominent in many walks of life, who were present, joining in it. A smile overspread the strong face of the explorer as he bowed slightly and waited Tor the applause to cease. Then he expressed his apepreclation of the honor conferred Upon him, thank? ing the society for its recognition. WILL CALL REV. L, B. McCORl). Manning Presbyterians Seek Pastor from Loui-N ill**. Ky. Manning. Jan. 12.?At a Congre? gational meeting of the Presbyterian Church, held this morning, for the purpose of considering the election of a pastor to succeed the Rev. A. R.

The proper steps will be taken at once to prosecute the call through the regular Presbyterial c hannels. The Rev.

Commissioner Watson Suggests That state Operate Its own Phosphate Reds With Convict Labor and itc clalm the Soil. After pointing out th.it the farmers Of South Carolina expending practi? cally $28,000,000 a year for commer ?iai fertilizers Commissioner Watson in his annual report to the general as? sembly recommends that the state work its own phosphate beds on ih< oast with COnviCtS and sell the ground lock to the farmers at cost. He says the recommendation "will bring forth a Strong lobby, and a vigorous light." The report says: "The annual enormous expenditure by the farmers of the State of practi? cally $28,000,000. as estimated by competent authority, for commercial fertilize) s and fertilizing material is a drain upon our financial resource! that porte nds disaster unless some? thing be done. Sails are being treated today as if conditions of soil exist as they did when tne use of commer? cial fertilizers was lirst introduced. < ontinual use has rendered them .acid to a high degree, and conditions to? day are far different. Ignorance of intelligent use of fertilizing ingre? dients is so general that it has been the cloak behind which fancy mix? tures have been put on the markets in neat packages with ready purchasers at handsome profits to the manufac? turers. 1 believe the time has come to take some decisive action towards stopping this great expenditure and financial drain upon the farmer and Inevitable ultimate exhaustion of the soil. "What I shall say here is not in? tended as an attack upon the intelli? gent and not too general use of com? mercial fertilizers nor certainly not upon the tax that the State derives from the tonnage of fertilizers an? nually consumed. That tax should be kept on every ton of all fertilizer that goes into consumption, for inspection is vitally important in the matter of fertilizering material and can not be successfully and effectively conducted otherwise. Furthermore, the income from the tax is being applied to work of most vital concern to the produc? ing population of the State?a work which should be increased rather than diminished, and this suggestion, car? ried out, would mean more revenue and less complaint about the tax, which is now paid plus unjustifiable profits to manufacturers. The inspec? tion of fertilizers should be kept where it now is and the income applied as it now is?for the fullest benefit of those who pay the tax and of their sons. "This suggestion, however, is di? rected at the great and useless waste of money by the consumer, depleting \ his finances f<>r the profits of shrewd manufacturers and bringing sure deterioration of soil fertility. If the cost of fertilizers amounts to more than the harvest then farmers must emigrate. Already it amounts to al? most as much as the value of the en- j tire corn crop id* the State, the crop that is second only in value to cotton, j The time has come to stop the buying and feeding to the land of patent mad Ictne-mlxed fertilisers, and instead I give the sick soil pure food. "All soils in South Carolina today are extremely deficient in one of the chief elements of animal food?-car? bonate of lime. Cntil very recently the great necessity for ground lime? stone rock to be applied to the soils of the State to cure, the sourness and acidity had not dawned upon the peo? ple. Now the need f??r It is apparent to many. Circulars have been issued by those realising the imperative need for this material in natural forms.

The railroads, I Understand, are hauling the material, also, at cost. State convicts are used for the work, and the whole thing ll operated by the department of agri? culture of the State. The deposits were bought outright by the State. The companies who have been farm? ing the farmer by selling him expen? sive "medicine" for his land because he knew n< better than to buy, very naturally v 11 try to stop the cutting c iwn of enormous profits by injunc? tion, but no one seems to fear the result. "This plan should and ought to be adopted by the state of South Caro? lina, where conditions both as to volume of present-day expenditures for mixed fertilizers and as to soil retrogression cry more loudly for such relief than Virginia ha,s ever even approached ' I would go further inasmuch as it is well-nigh Impossible to buy ground rock phosphate, because it is quickly gobbled for treatment and mixing for higher market prices, and in view of the fact that the State owns perhaps as valuable beds as can be found, and urge that the State with her convicts operate her own phosphate beds on the coast and sell ground rock to the farmers on the same basis as the ground limestone, i. e., the cost of production.
