vain for some Of the 1aunty assurance
that had marked him In the earlier
hours of the day. He had thought no
would be a little hero after his testi-
mony and that he would enjoy the
fleeting publicity: but he was ashamed
of the laugh no had made.
The prosecutor himself was almost
equally discounted. for It had been his
plan to build up stone by stone a
towering temple Of evidence to prove
TINT Mary Page had in cold blood
plotted and carried out tho murder OF
David Pollock, and now the boys testi-
mony had in u minute undermined the
whole structure. 1t forced him to play
his trump card at what he feared was
tho wrong moment. but except for
harassed frown he showed little signs
Of his disappointment as he again
called Mary to the witness-stand.
She came more willingly this time;
Il seemed somehow less of an ordeal,
for she sensed that things had gone
In her favor for a moment and she
did not even finch when. with o -four
ish, the District Attorney took up the
revolver dying with the other exhibits
OF the case before the jury and,
thrusting it toward her. asked sharply:
'Have you ever seen this revolver
before, Miss Pager
yves. 1t belonged to Mr.. Pollock"
was 1t in his possession on the night
when he was murdered?"

Judge this time, stern aud tmplacable,
and the boy In the witness-box cGInged
and burst into tears,
"They--they--n- never asked mo Wot
the message was was talln to hcr.
IL didn't think II mattcrcd,"
With an exclamation of transportation
the, prosecutor sat down, turning the
small witness over to Laugdon. into
whose tired face fresh hope had now
come. His voice, as he spoke to the
boy. was gentle and friendly, and the
snuilling lad wlping his eyes with the
back Of his hand answered him eagerly.
He soomcd glad to find someone who
didn't brighten him.
"Joe.' said LanEdon. his voice full Of
Kindness. "that night wasn't the flrst
time you had seen MIR. Pollock, was it?'
"No. sir" said the hoy III his shrill
young voice. Everybody knew Dave
Pollock at tho Republic He came
there n lot--hlm and Mr. slade."
"And he was pretty generous in his
tips, wasn't hep The question was
quiet, and tho District Attorney. who
had made a move TO interrupt, sank
back without speaking as tho boy an
swered:
"oh, so so! He could afford to be-"
AND so. on the night when hc asked
you to take that message to Miss

to speak to me. Thought he had come
to take me home"
"The boy-what boy?" Tho question
leapt sharply now.
why, the bell-boy who brought the
message," she said In surprise. and.
turning, pointed toward the group OF
Witnesses where the small bell-hop
covered. half-covering his face with
his Shaking hands.
For the moment at least every eye
was upon him., and some Of the hostility
vanished from those watching faces as
"a wave Of surprised comment slipped
from lip to lip. For after all, II Mary
Pago had indeed gone into that room
expecting Langdon, and not Pollock.
1t robbed the murder Of tho infamy OF
cool deIiberation.
Mary herself was both surprised and
confused by the sudden turn Of events.
and, dismissed from the wltness-box.
returned to her own seat bewildered
at the seeming Importance attached to
what had heretofore appeared so small
a detail.
But IL was anything but small in the
eyes of the District Attorney and
Langdon, and there was CLEAN Of
triumph in the latter's eyes MS the
Whispering boy from the hotel took
tho oath. Before he went into the
witness box, however, the Judge leaned
forward and frowned down at him.
do you understand, joe" he said,
iawhly, "that what you have just
taken ii an oath? And that the law
can put you into prison for perjury II
you do not tell the exact truth after
taking that oath?"
"Y-yes, sir!" stammered the boy.
eTll tell the truth. s'help me Gawd!"
Light laughter ran through the room;
but the court attendant Immediately
called for order.
"Tell us exactly what message you
carried to Miss Page In the banquet
room. said the District Attorney. when
quiet reigned. ut was Miss Page you
took the message to. wasn't IT.
"yes,. sir. 1t was her. And the gent
in the gray suite he says. Tell Miss
Page Mr.. Langdon wants to see her
here az once" FIX
"And you delivered the message Just
that way to Miss Page?"

as simply and clearly as possible the
questions she was asked. Els calm
gave her back some measure OF her
own serenity. and her voice was low
but clear as she took the oath and,
stepping up into the witness stand,
looked down upon that sea Of faces.
For a moment they swan before her
eyes, and with q catch in her throat
she remembered the last time she had
looked down upon crowded faces;
looked down across the footlights upon
thousands Of smiling lips and friendly
eyes above a snow storm OF applaud
Ing white gloves. Flow long ago 1t
seemed, and yet how short time!
And now the faces that stared up at
her were avid with curiosity: some
hostile, some sympathetic.
Then her eyes,, travelling beyond
them, met the tear dimmed ones OF
her mother, leaning forward yearn-
ingly from the witness-bench; and be-
cause Of the suffering on that face
Mary smiled. Fer first answers to
the questions Of the District Attorney
were spoken with quiet dignity.
"Miss Page, isn't 1t true that David
Pollock wished to marry you3"
Yes" The answer was lower now.
and a hot hush crept for q moment
into Mary's pale cheeks.
"And you found his attentions un-'
welcome?"
Som ething IN the tone brought her
head up sharply.
II had told Mr. Pollock that could
not marry him. she said firmly.
Abruptly the prosecutor changed his
train of questioning.
NOW, Miss Page" he said harshly,
"pleasc tel the court exactly what
happened Just previous to the time
when the revolvsr-shot was heard and
Mr. Langdon- found you unconscious
