then the Judge, with careless eye.
frowned, and his quick ~rereading showed
that a spark of something had flashed
from that scrap of paper.
The presiding Judge leaned quickly
toward his associate on the right and
whispered earnestly. then toward his
associate on the left. and. one after
another. the three MAGISTRATES studied
this startling communication, nodding
learned heads and lowering judicial eye
brows. The public prosecutor blazed
through his peroration to an inattentive
bench.
No sooner had the speaker finished
h the clerk of the court announced
a brief recess, during which the judges
withdrew for deliberation and the audi
ence buzzed their wonder During this
interval the Baron de Heidelmann-
Bruck looked frankly bored.
On the return OF the three. an an
noulicement was made by the presiding
judge that important new evidence in
the case had been received, evidence of
so unusual a character that the judges
had unanimously decided to interrupt
proceedings for a public hearing of the
evidence in question. 1t was further or
dered that NJ one be allowed to leave
tho courtroom under n circumstances.
Cali the first witness ordered the
judge. and amidst the excitement caused
by these ominous words a small door
opened n a woman entered leaning on
a guard. She was dressed simply in
black and heavily yelled, but her girlish
figure showed that she was young. As
she appeared kittredge started vio-
lently.
The clerk of the court cleared his
throat and called out something in in
comprehensive singsong.
The woman came forward to the wit
ness stand and lifted her veil, As she
did so, three distinct things happened:
the audience murmured its admiration
at a vision of strange beauty, Kittredge
stared in a daz of joy. and De Hetdel-
mann-Bruck felt the cold hand of death
clutchins at his heart.
1t was Alice come to her lovers need!

In spite Of all that he had been
through n all that he was facing,
Kittredge looked surprisingly well. A
little pale, perhaps, but game to the
end. and ready always with his good
natured smile. All the ladies liked hin

they vowed. and smiled and stared
their encouragement.
A close observer would have noticed,
however, that Lloyd's eyes were anx-
ious as they swept the spread Of faces
before him; they were searching.
searching for one fac that they could
not find. Where was Alice? Why had
she sent him no word? Was she i'll?
Had any harm befallen her? Where
a Alice?
SO absorbed was Kittredge in these
reflections that he scarcely heard the
laundering denunciations hurled at him
by the public prosecutor in his fierce
and ina demand that blood be the
price of blood and that the extreme
penalty of the law be melted out to this
young monster of wickedness and dis
stimulation.

whispered eager tongues. and straight
way the awe-inspiring name was passed
from mouth to mouth. The Baron de
Heidelmann-Bruck He had dropped in
in a dilettante spirit to hear the spirit
ed debate, and the judges were greatly
honored.
Alas for the baron, 1t was surely
some sinister prompting that brought
him here today, so coldly complacent
as he nodded to the presiding judge. so
quietly Indifferent as he glanced at the
prisoner through his single eyeglass.
The gods had given Coquenil a spectac-
clar setting for his triumph,
And. now, suddenly. the blow fell. As
the prosecuting officer scared along in
his oratorial flight, a note was passed
unobtrusively to the presiding judge, a
modest little note folded on itself with
out even an envelope to hold it. For
several minutes the note lay unnoticed;

These are the queries that have been
and are being ~propounded by hundreds
of earnest women, who are daily look
ing for the sign boards of the royal

Whether the idea that a few people
possess the secret of success is true
or not, every practical business woman
knows hat there are well defined rules
that govern success. and that the ex-
ercise of careful Judgment is more to
be relied upon than luck.
AT a casual glance it often does seem
that an element of luck enters more or
less into every success, but on Il closer
examination we find almost invariably

The climax came when she tried Cynthia. Cynthia

had her own peculiar system of doing things, which her
