CHAPTER VI. JEARLY all the passengers had now breakfasted. Con- | nery, therefore, took a seat fin the diner, breakfasted letmurely and after finisaing, went forward to se@ what mes- sages had been received as to the relieving snow-ploughs. Nothing defi- nite yet had been | ed. Connery walked back through train, Dorne by now must be up, and might wish to see the conductor. Uniess stopped him, however, Connery did not intend to speak to Dorne. As Connery entered the last sleeper, Dis gaze fell on the dial of pointers which, communicating with tae prsh- buttons tn the different berths, tell the porter which section 1s calling him, and he saw that while all the other arrows were pointing upward, the ar- row marked "3" was pointing down. Dorne was up, then—for this was the arrow denoting his berta—or at least wea awake and had recently rung luis bell Connery looked In upon the porter, who was cleaning up the washroom. “Section Three's getting up?” asked “No, Mistah Connery—not yet,” the porter answered, “What did he ring for?" thought Dorne might hav him, “He didn't ring, He ain't moved or stirred this morning.” he Connery asked for “He must have rung Connery looked to the dial, the porter came out of the washroom and looked at it also, “lo! the Jan's sake, I didn't hear no ring, Mistah Connery, It mus’ have been when I was out on the platform." “When was that?" “Jus' now, There ain't been nobody but him in the car for fifteen min- utes, and I done turn the pointers all up when tho las’ passenger went to the diner, It can’t be longer than a few minutes, Mistah Connery,’ Answer it, then,” Connery 4l- rected As the negro started to obey, Con- nery followed him into the open ear, He could seo over the negro’ shoul dor the hand sticking out into the aisle, and this time, at sight of it Connery started If Dorns had rung, he » moved, A man who {3 awake does not let his hand hang out tnto the aisle, Yet Dorne T the hand nad pot moved, Nothing was changed about it since Connery had seen it before. “Walt!” by the arm, He dis Connery seized the porter “I'll answer it myself.” sed the negro and waited until he had gone, Yet he still hest- tated, and retreating a@ little and walking briskly as though he were carelessly passing up the aisle, he brushod hard against the hand ‘and looked back, exclaiming an apology for his carelessness. ‘The hand fell back heavily, inortiy, and resumed its former position, No response ta the apology came from behind the curtains, The man tn 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 over, ‘Then, gasping, he parted the curtains and looked into the berth, The man in the berth was lying on ‘his right side facing the alsie. The left side of his face was exposed and it had been crushed in by a violent blow from some heavy weapon which, too blunt to cut the skin and bring blood, had fractured the cheokbono and bludgeoned the temple. The proof of murderous violence was so plain that the conductor, as he saw the face in the light, recoiled with starting eyes. He looked up and down the aisle to assure himself that no one had ens tered the car during his examinatio he carefully drew the curtains together again and hurried to the for- ward end of the car, where he had left the porter, “Lock the rear door of the car,” he commanded, “Then come back here.” He gave the negro the keys, and himself waited to prevent any one from entering the car at his end, Looking through the glass of the door, he saw the young man Baton standing in the vestibule of the ev xt ahead Connery hesitated, Then the door and beckoned Kato "Will you go forward, | requested, “and wee if there ist doctor" —— “You mean the man with red hatr, in my car?” Eaton inquired, “That's the one.

Avery leaned inside the curtains and recotied, ‘‘Te's dead!" “The doctor hasn't made his exam- ination yet; but there seems no doubt he's dead.” Connery waa very pale but controlled, “He's been murdered!” “It looks so, Mr. Avery, Yea; if h dead, he's certainly been murdered,” Connery agreed. Avery stood clinging to the ourtain, his eyes darting from one to another of the three men, “Will you start your examination now, Dr, Sinclair?” Connery suggest- No--I'll ask you to walt a min- Nolsee were coming to them froin the platforms at both ends of the car, and the doors were being tried and pounded on, as passengers attempt- ed to pass through.
