Two flights up the detec- tive found himself in spacious cor ridor off which opened seven doors i leading to the offices of seven judges. Seven! Strange this resemblance to the fatal corridor at the Ansonia! And stranger still that Judge I.auteville's office should be No. 6!
 Judge Vaudeville presently arrived.
 You look serious this morning." he said, remarking Coquenil's pale face.
 ''Yes," nodded NJ. Paul. that's how I feel" and. settling himself in a chair, he proceeded to relate the events of i the night

Papa Tignol had started out to search for Kittredge's lodgings. since the American, when questioned by Gibeln at the prison, had obsti- nately refused to tell where he lived. and an examination of his quarters was matter of immediate impor- tance. It was not Papa Tignol, how ever, who was to furnish this infor- nation, but the discounted Gibelin, whose presence in the outer office was at this moment announced. A moment later CoqueniPs fat, red haired rival entered with smile of triumph.
 "Ah, you have news for us!' ex- claimed the judge.

We all know how Miss Crosman sue

of the charming Nell Gwinn comedies.
Then, under the joint management of
her husband and David Belasco, she
played that delightful romance, Sweet
Kitty Bellairs" From those days
and they were not very long ago-her
position on the stage has been well
established.
1t would seem that Miss Crosman has
had such a stern life on the stage and
her success came after such a long
apprenticeship her ardor for her
profession might be cooled. 1t is not

be tired but 1 8 minutes in society fin
ishes me. Those society women ask
such silly questions. Some of them
you can't possibly answer Horrors"
But there was still better test of
her devotion to the stage. The new
play which Miss Miriam Nicholson. the
novelist, has written for Miss Crosman
came UP for discussion.
Immediately the actress was all fire
and life. She forgot her early trials
and her present journeyings. With the
fire of an enthusiast she went into the
merits of the drama of the Flanders
woman VINO, through the love Ol d hinS,
rose from the washtubs of the Dutch
to the vicinity of the throne of Spain
as Duchess Barbara-'the duchess of
suds" With the zeal of newly made
star describing her gowns, Miss Cros-
man entered into the fun she antici-
pated in her new role--the professional
fun, the JOY of the workman at new
task She recited a stirring line or
two; she described the humorous situa-
tion at the Spanish court where this
Flanders woman lived in savage and
tumultuous dignity after the death of
the king whose mistress she had been;
she told of the fine conflicts that come
in the play and of the brave ending of
the drama.
One could feel that to this new role
Miss Crosman will bring all the tricks
