you amt guilty just because you was
in the hotel. They can't connect it up
with you. give you my word oh.
thank God. thank Godv she whispers,
and begins to cry harder than ever and
the man shook her again. Cut out the
water works. he says angrily and get
into this seat, unless you want the
bulls to pull you in"
"What did he mean by this seat?
Could you see?'
Eyes. SCR. The rope that the man
had let down had a sort Of swing at
the end Of it. and he made the girl sit
in that. then he whistled again and the
other nan pulled her up and she disap-
peared in Winder."
What did the man dog
'He waited till she was gone. then
he went on down the street and round
the corner. Then saw Denny comm
up the other way and | went to meet
him. and l found he'd been watchin'
too. That was why l couldn't see him

said Langdon; but the Judge leaned
forward With an arresting gesture.
"And having seen all this" he said
harshly. didn't you read the papers
the next morning? Didn't you see that
girl was missing, or connect her in
any way with the occurrences you had
witnessed?''

my suspicious" she admitted readily.
Then why didn't you tell someone?'
Huh she retorted. "And let that
ould divil Of Mrs. Watson know I
was meetin' Denny and maybe givin'
him bite. and lose me job? guess
not!
'Then why" persisted his Honor.
have you told nOw?"
tSure. and it's me that's bein' mar
ried this week. yer Honor. and I'm
after LAWN Mrs. Watson last Satur-
day." she said amid stifed gale Of
mirth from spectators and jury alike.
Even the prosecutor smiled. waving
his right to cross examine, for the mo-
ment at least; and Langdon. with a
CHEEKY and encouraging nod towards
Mary. called the second Of his three
new witnesses:
Dennis Gallagher
Denny. whose collar seemed to have
shrunk to even more torturing tight
ness during the interim of waiting,
took his place on the stand with a
face the hue of his fiancee's bonnet,
and cleared his throat noisily between
each sentence as if the linen band
about his neck We're somehow pressing
his vocal chords.
He was, he admitted, a private watch
man who had most Of the block near
the Hotel Republic, and he usually paid
visit to the back gate Of the Watson
clearinghouse once or twice during
the course of his rounds.
He verified all that the buxom cook
had already told, since he himself had
watched proceedings from a dark cor
ner little further along the alley, but
his account was amplified and more
definite as to detail.
did YOU asked Langdon, know
who resided in the house into which
| the girl was lifted by means of the
rope swing?'
II did, sor," he answered 1T was
Bankers, the gamb1in' place, you know,
sor. They KEEP it dark in the back and
:: in the front, but it was bright enough
inside, begorra.'
Were you Waterman for that build
ing?" ~
'sNo, sor. They had their own man
to keep an eye out for the bulls, but it
/ was that very night they were pulled.
Tim, the policeman at the corner, had
wised me up to it only an hour before.
Stick around, Denny says he,
'there'll be big doin's soon. They're
goin' to raid Barker's, SEE he, and I'll
bet we pull few big bugs, or my name
is mud
$50 I was kind of hangin' around
waitin' when + see this other fellow
posted in the alley First off, 1 SEE,
he's a plain clothes man. Then 1 looks
at his feet and 1 says nix, he's gum
shoe crook, and then the girl comes
down the fire escape
when the girl had disappeared into
Rarker's. what did YOU do?"
