music and l did not care, so when we
came to the diverging roads she told the
driver to turn TO the left. The windows
were OPEN

II cannot repeat exactly what was
said. After we had turned to the left
and had ridden some distance. should
say fifteen or twenty minutes. maybe a
little longer. she was talking about her
desire to become an auth0ress, and said
something about George Eliot During
the conversation she took on her hat

I here were no protestations OF love on
my part. so far as / can recolect. There
was no offer OF love. no artifice: nothing
except ! put my arms around her and
drew her 81 me-"
1T was Without any prosestation OF love
on my part. without any resistance
or protestation on her part. 1t was the
human passion OF man. and such I
was. with willing complaisance on her
part"
Madeline Pollard heard this story with
n curl OF scorn on he lips. Once she half
rose In her chair. and was drawn back
by her attorney, Mr.. Carlisle.

improper demonstrations?

and drove back. and she got out Of the

Miss Pollard Excited
Miss Pollards excitement had been
nearing the hysterical while Colonel
Breckenridge was telling this part of his
story. When he said he had given her
money, she made an effort as though to
rise. Mr. Carlisle said something to her
and she sat down, leaning forward, how
ever, as IL about to spring. 1t was plain
that Miss Pollard was losing control of
herself. and Il took many pats on the
back and whispered words from Mr.. Car
Isle to restore her To composure.

nod from Judge Bradley. the crler ad-
journed the court until tomorrow and cut
short one Of the most sensational periods

minute longer and then left the court
room with Miss Ellis and Mr.. Carlisle.
Tomorrow morning Colonel Breckenridge
will again take the stand. and the whole
day will be occupied with his testimony.
