Hadley stayed nights with her and
her two children.
Mrs. Hammer said she prayed God
that if her husband would not reform
that some way might be found by
which she might be permitted to re-
turn to her parents who live in Ken

The widow testified that on the

an affectionate kiss for her and the
children, going to a point about two
miles away to gamble. He returned
about 9 O'Clock in very ugly mood

implored him not to take it, but he
succeeded in carrying it away. He
did not tell her what the trouble was
Never Prayed for Death.
A pistol was found near the body OF
Hammer, but neither the State MOI
the defense offered the weapon in
evidence
Mrs. Hammer denied the sworn
statement of Mrs. J. N. Vines that
she had prayed that her husband
might die, enc that another, by Mrs,
Vines, that after the killing of her
husband that her prayer had beef

the Baptist church at Minden, testi-
fed that on one occasion when a:
the depot in Minden, on his way tc
Shreveport, he met Mrs. Hammer
and she requested him to call ane
see her husband at the hospital.
Nearly all the character witnesses
testified that the relations OF mrs
Hammer and Mack Hadley were look
ed upon as improper. Almost all
others had never heard her charactc
discussed. Therefore, they could no
testify about her general reputation
in the neighborhod.
Curious Pack Courtroom.
The theory of the State is tina
Monroe Hadley, brother of Mack Had.
ley, who is shown to have been II
love with Mrs. Hammer, was induce
to fire the fatal shots.
The courtroom was crowded al,
day by an eager, silent crowd tryin
to follow the proceedings.
Able counsel appeared on each side
Judge Lynn K. Watkins represented
1.-THE Hadleys and contested every
with great vigor. Attorney w. 4

guarded her interests at every point

some he stated that she would be his
wife in less than six months.
Others he told that he was going
to get POSITION in Kentucky, OF
Chicago, and that he would take her
with him.
l.. Dyer, a storekeeIer for whom
Hadley worked several months, testl-
fed that Mrs. Hammer often came to
the store, a. mile from her home,
sometimes as often as two or three
times day. Dyer declared the at
titude of Hadlet and Mrs. Hammer
towards each other seemed to be that
of lovers, and that he reproved Had
lev for such conduct. The young
man became indignant and informed
both Hammer and his wife of what
Over had said. This was followed by
a quarrel between Dyer and Hammer
Hammer ceased to buy goods from
Dyer thereafter.
Two Shots Were Fired.
One witness, Reese Hudson, living
near the Hadleys, heard two gun
shots at s o'clock on the night o.
Nov. %. In this he was positive.

CHAPTER x.

1t was high noon when O'Rourke
drove up before the Palace of the
Governor-General. Weary. dusty and
travel-stained as he was, he hesitated
no instant about sending in his name
and requesting an interview with the
representative of Frances sovereign
power.
Disappointment awaited him at the
very outset; disappointment in the
shape Of word that his excellency was
away. But the name of O'Rourke was
one we'll and favorably known In the
province, and secured him an invita-
ton to ascend to the Governors office
and state his business-if he cared
to do Soto the gubernatorial secre-
tary.
Upon consideration he accepted, and
a little later was seated in a broad,
low, cool room in the old Moorish
palace, the affable secretary a
young, lively and engaging French
man-solicitously sounding him as to
his errand.
1t was obviously the office of man
of great affairs, presenting an eminent.

that he was being played with resolv

His uneasy conjectures were inter
rupted when the vicomte appeared tc
welcome his guest. Suave, dressed
properly for the occasion, showing
traces neither of fatigue nor of his
antipathy for O'Rourke, blandly ignor
ing the peculiarities of the situation
which his own inexplicable invitation
had created. he presented himself in
the guise of gracious host.

offer his hand), "overpowers me with

glance at the bulge of the adventur.

"T1s habit find 1t hard to break

Tactfully the vicomte depressed
from the unpleasant topic. II have
asked you here, monsieur" he said
with an air of depreciation, "to confer
with me on business after we have
dined. l trust the arrangement suits
your convenience"
I'm content, monsieur"
II regret that circumstances pre-.
vent me from receiving you under
my own roof-tree The Villa d'Orleans
is the property Of dear friend,
merely loaned me during my stay in
Algiers."
"Ye're fortunate in your choice of
friends"

that O'Rourke failed to fathom. Mon

him."

The v1comte caught the eye Of {

he said. DO me the honor to &C
company me to the table"
In the course Of time, as the vicomte
had predicted, the Honorable BERTHE
joined them; and on sight O'Rourke
diagnosed the "indisposition" as plair
intoxication. The Englishman was
deep In his cups. far too deep to ape
the urbanity Of his hest He favored
O'Rourke with curt nod and surly
look, then slumped Imply into a chair
and called for champagne, which he
drank greedily and with a sullen air,
avoiding the vicomte's eye. Before
dessert was served he passed into a
black humor, and sat mutely glover
ing at his glass (what time he was
not unsteadily filling it, without re.
gard for either Of his companions.
When the cloth was cleared and
the servants had withdrawn, Des Ire

cigarette between his lips, he lounged

eyes that never left his guests while

faced his first words.
