When Mrs. Martin was taken into

softly. She clutched at the arm Of
her counsel, Samuel Kalisch, until
he arose and addressed the court.
"The defendant at bar" he said,

 Her memory was defective. She could not seem to take in what the doctor told her. But he tried her again. Once more he spoke of illness as the cause of Adelaide's absence. Her attention wandered while he spoke of it.

CHAPTER XIV.

BREAK IN THE GLASS"
 T was some time before I learn
 ed the particulars of Carmels
 awakening. It had occurred at
 sunset. With the exception of the doctor and possibly the nurse, only those interested in her as a wit ness in the most perplexing case on the police annals were grouped in si- lent watchfulness about the room of mystery.
 It came suddenly, as all great changes come. One moment her lids were down, her face calm, her whole figure quiet in its statue-like repose; the next her big violet eyes had fash ed open upon the world, and lips and limbs were moving feebly but cer- tainly in their suddenly recovered freedom. She murmured, half petu- lantly:
 'Why do you look at me so? Oh, remember. I remember! Whats the matter? I cannot move as I used to do. I feel-I feel''-
 "You have been ill.," came soothingly from the doctor. You have been in bed many days. Now you are better and will soon be we'll. This is your nurse." He said nothing of the others, who were so placed behind screens as to be invisible to her.
 She continued to gaze first at one then at the other. AS she did so tho flush faded and gave way to an anxious, troubled expression-not just the expression anticipated by those who believed that with returning con- sciousness would come returning mem ory of the mysterious scene which had taken place between herself and heI sister or between her sister and heI brother prior to Adelaide's departure for the Whispering Pines.

"Let me see with my own eyes what I have now to ex- pect from every one who looks at me. I want to know before Lila comes in. Why, isn't she here? Is she .with-with''- Then In the shrill tones which will not be denied she demand ed again, 'The mirror.' Nurse Unwin brought it. Carmel was still for long time, during which the nurse carried off the glass.
 '1-I don't like it, Carmel acknowl- edged quaintly to the doctor as he leaned over her with compassionate words. "I shall have to get acquaint- ed with myself all over again. And so I have been ill! shouldn't have thought a little burn like that would make me ill. How Adelaide must have worriedr'

 "Well, it is hard to accuse a man of a direct lie. But he cannot be telling the truth when he says that he crossed the links immediately to Cuthbert road, thus cutting out the ride home of which we have such extraordinary proof''
 Under the fear of betraying my thoughts I hurriedly closed my eyes. I was in an extra ordinary position my self. What seemed falsehood to them struck me as the absolute truth.

MARSHAL KILLED
BY BANK ROBBERS
Two Dead, One Dying in At
tack by Armed Posse.

Patton, Iowa, May Marshal Busby, of
this city, was killed, one bank robber was
shot to death, and a second is seriously
injured as a result of fight between the
officer 9f the law and a gang of bandits
at an early hour this morning, two miles
from here.
The safe of the post-office was blown
at o'clock this morning and several hun
dred dollars in stamps and money was
secured. The concussion shattered near
by windows and aroused the villagers. A
posse was formed, and under the leader
ship of Marshal Busby, and at a school
house two miles from the city, which was
approached by Busby and his posse the
marshal went 10 the door and was met
with a volley of pistol shots from within
and dropped dead. Later the robbers
dragged the body into the building and
used ii as a shield so as to direct their
fire against the Others
Sheriff Williams prevented what might
have been a disastrous affair for other
members of the posse. He commanded
the men to surrender. and when they did
not reply, poured a cross-fire into the
building.
One of the robbers was badly injured
and came out into the yard stating that
he would surrender, but that his pal
would fight to the last breath.
LIE lone man who held the fort behind
the body of Marshal Busby was killed
by the terrific eross-fire rained upon him
from both sides of the building AS the
body of the dead marshal dropped from
the window the besiegers rushed in to
find the robber dead with a revolver in
each hand and the body of the dead mar
shall at his ieet.

tiOnerS in Court Room.

An enthusiastic meeting of nearly 200
boys under probation by the Juvenile
Court was held yesterday afternoon in
the court rooms at 1916 F street north
west. Judge William H. De Lacy ad-
dressed the youngsters at some length,
congratulating those who had kept their
promises to be good, and who had tried
to correct their ways and live better
lives
Save your money. boys said Judge
De Lacy. keep your promises made to
this court, and endeavor to do the right
thing, no matter what temptation may
beset your paths, and in the end you
will be useful citizens of the community"
John R. Dillon. probation officer, told
at some length of his work and expert
ence among probationers, describing how
those who had deliberately broken their
pledges had made sorrow for their par
ents and misery for themselves. and con-
trasting such with the lads who had re-
solved on a better and manlier course.
At the conclusion of the meeting, maga-
zines and books were distributed to all
who desired them, and the male audience
left feeling their time had been we'll
spent.
1t is Judge De Lacy's plan to have the
boys meet at least once every two weeks
to encourage them in their efforts toward
good citizenship.

DEAD MANS LETTERS
SHOW LOVE OF GIRL

Special TO The Washington Herald
Philadelphia, May IA series of most
amazing love letters, written by Anna
Mcmahon to George Leary, the wealthy
real estate broker, slain by Miss McMa-
hons father, was made public by Leary's
relatives to-day. Their purpose is to
show that Miss Mcmahon sought the
man now dead rather than that he sought
her. Some of the letters follow:
Dearest of Sweethearts-Thought I
would write to let you know that I ar
rived home safe and sound. 1t seemed
like too good opportunity to be lost

loveliest and most patient of men. If
you were not you would have taken me
by the ears and shook the venom out of

unhappy when 1 really should have been
the happiest of mOrtals. But you know,
sweetheart, the old saying There is no
joy unmiXed with pain and though it
may sound silly and unreasonable, still,
sometimes it is true. AS you say your
self, it all goes under the vagaries lis

men get them, too). You see, honey,

You said once, when we were talking
about il, that it was impossible for me to

must repeat, that ii is impossible for me
or any one else to love you more.

soon as you can. Yours, forever,

MY Darling Sweetheart-No doubt you
will be very much surprised to receive
this hastily written note, but I could
not rest until / had written to ask you to
forgive me for being so disgruntled this
morning. What an ungrateful little beast
1 must seem to you, when you have done
anything and everything to make me
happy and contented.

trusting that you will tell me so. I am,
"A REPENTANT SINNER
Leary's relatives allege that he was
asked to pay a large sum of money. At
council of attorneys to-day 1t was de-
termined to swear out a warrant for the
arrest of Mcmahon, who was dismissed
under the ''unwritten law" by Coroner
Ford.

pleasure seekers who will flock to the

none will attract more attention than the
Washington representatives who will take
an active part in the social state func-
tons to mark the coronation ceremonies

ton, the well-known mining engineer, who
goes to the coronation as the special rep

known as he is in the United States He
will be accompanied by Mrs. Greedy and
