CONTINUED From Yesterday.D

Silently, intentely the three men
waited, bending owe the dial as the
test proceeded, as the ends of torture
and death swept past in lurid triumph.
The picture machine whirled Of with
droning buzz, the accused sat still, eyes
on the sheet, the red column pulsed
steadily, up and down. up and down,
now a little higher, now a little quicker,
but-for a minute, for two minutes
nothing decisive happened, nothing that
they had hoped for; yet Coquenil felt,
he knew that something was going to
happen. he knew 1t by h agonized
tension of the room, by the atmos-
phere Of pain about them. II Groener
had not spoken, he himself, IN the
~poignancy of his own distress, must
have cried out or stamped on the floor
or broken something, just to end the
silence.
Then, suddenly. the tension snapped,
tearing his arm from the leather sleeve,
he faced his tormentors desperately,
eyes blazing, features confused:
mo, no., mol" he shrieked. You
dogs. You cowards!"
Lights up" ordered Hauteville.
Then to the guard: Put the handouts
on him"
But the prisoner would not be
silenced. What does all this prove?"
he screamed in rage. Nothing! Moth
ing! You make me look at disgusting,
abominable pictures and - why
shouldn't my heart beat? Anybody's
heart would beat-if he had a heart
The Judge paid no attention to this
outburst. but went on in a one as keen
inc cold as a knife: Before you 60

what we charge against you. Your
wife persisted in the Charity Bazaar fire.
She was a very rich woman, probably
an American. who a been married
before and who had a daughter by her.
previous marriage. That daughter is
the girl you call Alice. Her true name
is Mary. She was in the fire with her
mother and was rescued by Martinez,
but the shock of seeing her mother
burned to death and, perhaps, the
shock of seeing you refuse TO save her
mother
TITS a lie!" yelled the prisoner.
A this terror and anguish caused a
violent mental disturbance in the girl
and resulted in a failure Of her mem

It was as Il a curtain had fallen over
her past life, she had lost the sense
of her own personality, she did not
know her own name, she was helpless,
o could do as you pleased with her.
And she was a great heiressl If she
lived, she inherited her mothers for

to you. So shrinking, perhaps, from
the actual killing of this girl, you
destroyed her identity; you gave it out

Groener.

nailed the operator, whereupon the
lights went down and the picture os
Alice and the widow appeared again.
There is the girl whom you have
wronged and defrsuded. Now watch

watch her carefully-carefully," he mo-
toned to the operator and the smooth
young widow faded gradually, while
the face and form of another woman
took her place beside the girl. "Now
we have the picture as it was before
you falsihed It. Do you recognize this
face?"
NO answered the prisoner, but his
heart was pounding.
ut Is your wife. Look.'
Under the picture came the inscrip-
tom: ITO my lear husband Raoul with
the love of Margaret n her little
Mary"

now" whispered Duprat to NJ. Paul.
There are your two victims!" ac-
cused the magistrate. MARY and Mar
garrett How long do you suppose 1t will
take us to identify them among tho
Charity Bazaar unfortunates? 1t is a
matter of a few hours record search
ing. What must we look for? A rich
American lady who married a French
man. Her name is Margaret. She had
a daughter named Mary. The French
mans name is Raoul and he probably
has a title. We have, also, the lady's
photograph and the daughters photo
graph and a specimen of the lady'e
handwriting. Could anything be
simpler? The first authority we meet
on noble fortune-hunters will tell us all
about it. And then, M. Adolf Groener,
we shall know whether it is a marquis
or a duke whose name must be added
to the list of distinguished assassins.'

The guard moved suddenly in the
shadows and called for help,
"Lights!" said the doctor sharply,
and, as the lamps shone out, tho pris-
oner was seen limp and white, sprawl
ing over O chair.
Duprat hurried to him and pressed
an a to his heart.
II has tainted" said the doctor.
Coquenil looked half pityingly at his
stricken adversary. Down and out"
he murmured.
Duprat, meantime, was working over
the prisoner, rubbing his wrists, loosen
ing his shirt and collar.
"Ammonia-quick,' he said to his as
slstant. and a moment later, with the
strong fumes at his nostrils, Groener
stirred and opened his eyes weakly.
Just then a sound was heard in the
distance as of O. galloping horse. The
white-faced prisoner started and lis
tened eagerly. Nearer and nearer
came the rapid hoof beats, echoing
through the deserted streets. Now the
horse was crossing the little bridge
near the hospital, now no was coming
madly down the Boulevard du Palais.
Who was this rider dashing SO furious
ly through the peaceful night?
As they all turned wondering, the
horse drew up suddenly before the pal
ace and a voice was heard in sharp
command. Then the great iron gates
swung open and the horse stamped In.
Hauteville hurried to the open win
dow and stood there listening. Just
below him in the courtyard he made
out Of the flashing helmet and i'm
uniform of a mounted garde de
Faris. And he caught some quick
words tEat made him start.

CHAPTER XVI.
~CoqueniI's Mother.

Nm accordance with orders. Papa Zig
mol appeared at the Villa Montmor-
ency betimes the next morning. 1t
was a perfect summers day and the
old mans heart was light as he walked
up the Avenue des T~illeuls, past vine
! covered walls and smiling gardens.
"Eh. H." he chuckled, Its good to
be alive on n day like this and to know
what / know"
He was thinking, with a delicious
thrill, of the rapid march of events in
the last twenty-four hours, of the keen
pursuit, the tricks and DISCUSSES, the
anxiety and capture and then Of the
great u of the evening. Bon dieu,
what a day!
And now the chase was over! The
murderer was tucked away safely in
a cell at the depot. Ouf. he a given
them some bad moments, this wood
carver! But for NJ. Paul they would
never have caught the slippery devil,
never! All, what a triumph for NJ.
Paul! He would have the whole de-
partment bowling down to him now.
And Gibelinl Eth. ell! Gibelin,
Tignol closed the iron gate carefully
behind him and walked down the
~graveled walk with as little crunching
as possible. He had an idea that Co
duenil might still be sleeping and if
anyone in Paris had earned a long
sleep, it was Paul Coquenil.
To his surprise. however. the detec-
tive was not only up and dressed, but
he was on his knees in the study be-
fore a large leather bag into which he
was hastily throwing various garments
brought down by the faithful Melanie,
whose joy at having her master home
again was evidently clouded by his
prospect Of an imminent departure.
"Ah. Papa Tlgnoll' said M. Paul as
the old man entered, but there was no
h%eartiness in his tone. "Sit down, sit
down"
Tignol sank back in one of the red
leather chairs and waited wondcringly.
This was not the buoyant reception he
had expected,
us anything wrong?" he asked final
ly.
"Why-er-why, yes" nodded Coque-
nil, but he went ON packing and did not
say what vas wrong. And Tignol did
not ask.
"Going away" he ventured after a
silence.
NJ. Paul shut the bag with u jerk and
frightened the side straps, then he
threw himself YEARLY into a chair.
Yes, lin going away"
The detective leaned back and closed
his eyes; he looked worn and gray.
T1gnol watched him anxiously through
a long silence. What could be the
erouble7 What had happened? He had
never seen NJ. Paul like this, SO broken
and-one would say, discouraged. And
this was tho momen of his triumph,
the proudest moment in his career. 1t
must be the reaction from these days
of strain, yes, that was it.
M. Paul opened his eyes and said in a
duh tone. Ibid you take the girl to
Pouseot last night"
Yes, she's all right. The commits
s1ry gay he win look after her as If
she were his own daughter until he
hears from you"

PENALTY OF GENIUS.

Insomnia is tile not uncommon fate
of the brainworker who. after years of
continuous mental strain, retires from
active life.
The reason is that mental activity de-
hands a large supply of blood for the
brain, and the blood-vessels gradually
accommodate themselves to this large
supply. But when the hard work is
over the brain does not always realize
that it needs less nourishment, and
hence the condition Of the excessive
mental activity is what insomnia is.

The smart shops are filled with
the most fascinating combina-

Irish lace still continues to be
first favorite when used for this
purpose. Venise Is also very
stylish, indeed, for both stocks
and jabots, and. besides these,
Chantily, Argentine and Allen

''cote." or upper garment. Chaucer, who
died in 400, when Henry Nv. was king.
frequently uses the word cote. In the
Canterbury Tales" he depicts the ser
geant-at-law as wearing medley
cote,' which no doubt means coat
Of many colors. while the miller he
describes as wearing "a whyte cote"
1t was in the fourteenth century that
the word gown" first came into use.
An anonymous author in no mild
words finds fault with the fashion Of
his days. He writes that 1.-The COM

their lOyns. some in garment reach

AS early as the twelfth century WON

in the first quarter Of the thirteenth
century a bishop moraliZes early on
their vanity for wearing trained cotes
