 Il want Dave POIlocll's chauffeur. If possible, have him in court within an hour or two"
 Yes, sr.''
 And Brennan-get the carria ge man at the Hotel Republic, too. The man who was on duty in front of the hotel on the night Pollock was killed. It's important. We must work quickly. There isn't a moment to lose"
 "I1l have them here, sir, don't you fear"
 And, snatching up his hat, Brennan set off down the corridor at a brisk trot, the waiter staring after him and noddlng with pleasure at being able to comprehend the orders that the lawyer had given.
 They can prove all say. sir" he said to Langdon 'T hope it. will help. Shall you put me on the stand at once?"
 Yes" said Langdon; "T'm going to call you the first thing You mustn't be nervous about it, though. It's not really such an ordeal as it sounds"
 II shant be nervous, sir" said the waiter. but his face did pale a little when he saw the crowded room and the judge.
 He acted like a man who had never been in courtroom before.
 He took the oath firmly, however. and his voice, though bit shaky, was clear as he answered Langdon's uues- tions.
 His name, he said, was James Wat son. He was forty-three years old and was employed as a waiter at the Cri- terion Club.

EPISODE XIV,

Phllp's exclamation was shril in it's excitement but before he could ask any questions that rushed to his lips the bailiff rapped at the door, an- nouncing that His Honor was ready to reopen court.
 With a shrug of impatience Lang don gathered up the papers he had flung upon the table.
 T shall have to put you on the stand, and ask the questions l would like to ask now" he said to the waiter. You don't mind, SUD- pose?"
 There was a note of anxiety in his voice.
 That is what I am here for, sir" said the little man with a calmness that was not without dignity. My wife is in the court, sir. waiting to hear me-"
 He spoke rather proudly; the atti- tude of waiter seemed suddenly to leave him.
 He was like a soldier who has hesi- lated, and then, having made up his mind to fight, goes invincibly to bat tie.
 Langdon smiled, and clapped him on the shoulder in a friendly fashion that brought flush of pride to the face of the older man.
 Then he led the way out into the corridor again.
 At the door of the witness room he paused moment and opening it, called to Brennan, the detective, who

 For myself, I felt that she had been a little more obviously nervous than circumstances required. The child's shoes were not muddy.
 As it happened, we got off the car at the same stop and l had to ask my way of her? She answered me very graciously and walked along with me. She was silent for a moment and then spoke out imretuously.

 She paused. "I don't know why I tell you this,' she went on. except that I know I was being judged and felt as if I must defend myself to someone. You understand, don't you?"

TRYING TO GET RELIEF
TO BRITISH PRISONERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - Urgent
representations are being made 10
Turkey by the American government
in an effort 10 secure the forwarding
of relief supplies to British prisoners
of war who were described in a note
received at the state department TO-
day from the British embassy to be
in a most serious condition.
Ambassador Elkus, at CONSTANT
nople, already has sought diligently
but without success permission 10
send TO the men relief frum large
fund which has been placed at his
disposal by the British government.
Both British and state department.
reports indicate that the situation OF
the men is very bad but they give no
details as 10 their number or loca-
ton. Among them. however; are
10000 taken prisoners at the surren-
der at Kut-El-Amara and others who
have ben added from Gallipoli and
minor actions.
Official reports show that early in
The war the Turks treated their pTls-
onerS with the greatest consideration
but that later a decided change has
taken place.
The American ambassador is known
to be under great difficulty in dealing
with Turkey, owing to the many dip
lomatic questions which are pressing
between the two governments. The
situation is most delicate and danger
Gus, because Il break in, relations
would leave nearly all foreign in
terests in Turkey without direct rep
reSentatiOn.
