Mary. She was crying, and packing her grip, and when l asked her what the row was about, she said that she was going to leave right then and there. She said that for the last two or three days she had noticed a decided difference in the attitude of the men towards her, and that at noon one of them had insulted her and she had slapped his face. The worst of it was, she said, the man said that he had been told that she wasn't so particular with others, and was notorious where she came from. Then I told her what the landlady had said to me, but said that I was pretty well wised up as to who was spreading the islander, and l thought it was time we blew the old burg anyhow"
 Did the hotel proprietor make any objections to your going?"
 "Well, yes and no-I haven't come to that yet. When we went downstairs with our suit Leases in our hands the proprietor's wife was giving him an earful of what she had heard about us, of how bad we were and all the rest, and MT. Pollock was sitting there talk ing it all in, but pretending to read. He jumped up when we came in sight, however, and started to speak, but We pushed by him and I walked right up to the proprietor and said, Look here you've been pretty white to us, but somebody is spreading a lot of nasty lies around here, and we're going to quit P. D. C., and we'd like whatever of the long green is coming to us after our room rent is paid The old guy got red as thunder, and his wife veered like weather cock, and hollers out You can't leave like that, there's three drummers comin' this afternoon, and ! tomorrow's market day. If you quit

you don't get a cent At that the pro- prietor started to say something on his own account, but seeing MT. Pollock was listening he said we'd better all go into the dining-room to settle it; but MT. Pollock followed us in, and said that as he was friend of ours. he would like to hear what the trouble was in case he could be of any assist ance."
 Did he seem to have any inkling as to what that trouble was?"
 "Yes. He said that he had heard about Mary's past, and that of course no actress could expect to have any reputation. as everybody knew what road companies were. At that got so mad I fairly flew at him, but he brush- ed me aside and went up and grabbed Mary's hands, saying, I at least care nothing about gossip. Knowing Miss Page, have repeatedly offered to mar ry her and now-now I ask again. Mary, you can kill this islander in a minute by marrying mel That wised me to his game all right, but before I could tell her, she had dragged her hands away from him with a scream and backed against the wall, staring at us as if-as if-she was-crazy. call- ed out Mary! Mary!' but she didn't seem to hear me. She just kept star ing at MT. Pollock"
 Was he much excited?" snapped Langdon.
 "Yes. but he was half drunk, too. He'd been drinking lot all day, and it showed plainly on him. It was that. guess. that made him act like a fool and try to catch her in his arms, cry ing that there was nothing ahead of her but disgrace and disaster unless she married him."
 Did she reply?"
 Amy shuddered and her voice was a long time in coming. as if the horror of something had engulfed her in mute ness: but at last. her eyes resting on Mary as if she had to re-assure herself that she was actually there. she said:
 "No-she didn't answer. She struck at him-twice-then she screamed and ran out-and across the street to the railroad. We've followed as quickly as we could. and then" she choked. and her hand went waveringly to her throat. as if the words would not come -"and then-we saw the man waving his flag and knew the-the train from New York was coming in. I-think Il went crazy myself for minute. Il screamed and screamed and l heard Pollock screaming too. and we ran like

of decency in your poor little soul? If you have you'll beat it-while the going's good.'"
 Did he answer your"
 "Yes. For minute thought he was going to hit me. Then he said, Miss Page Is thoroughly capable of answer ing me herself, Miss Barton, and must ask you not to interfere in what does not concern you Anything that con- cerns Mary concerns me- I retorted, but Mary put her hand on my arm. MT. Pollock she said, and there was queer note in her voice, I thoroughly agree with what Amy has said-you are prosecuting me; you are torturing me-and I cannot bear any more. For Gods sake go away and leave us in peace At that Mr. Pollock flung out his hands and said hoarsely, Mary Mary-you can't mean that. Aren't you tired of this poverty and misery :? Haven't you had enough of this life? One would think to hear you that was some brute pursuing you, when all I ask is to honorably marry you and pro- tect you from hardships.' Honorable!' cried Mary. DO, you call it honorable to assist the others because you knew 1t would leave us stranded and help less? Is it honorable to force yourself upon us in this fashion? Is it honora- ble to persecute me, when I've told you over and over that I'll drudge all my life and wear my fingers to the bone with work before I will marry your Then she burst into tears, and order ed Mr. Pollock out of the room, saying that he'd gotten his answer and he might as well go."
 .'Did he leave?
 "No-but 1t didn't matter because just then the door opened and the good old gink that ran the place came in.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-03-05

'Was the rest of the company still there?"
 "Yes."
 ''Was MT. Pollock with them?"
 'Yes; he was playing leading role and making a speech"
 "Could you hear what he said?"
 "Sure! Of course missed the first part of 1t, but when got to the land ing he was saying, I have always ta- ken a great interest in the theatre, and can thoroughly sympathize with your predicament.' Then he pulled 8 time- table out of his pocket and tapped it, saying, The New York train goes through in six minutes It can be Jagged to take you aboard and I'll pay your fares to New York and settle the claims of the sheriff-for no reason ex- cept that I don't want to see you stranded At that the company set up a cheer and beat it like crazy people for their suit leases, and MT. Pollock pulled out great wad of bills and be- gan peeling them off for everybody, in- cluding the sheriff himself"
 "What did you do then?' T ran back and told Mary, but we could see through his game. It was a case of either accept his help or be stranded and walk the ties"
 What did Miss Page say?" "She said, You go, Amy, because you want to get back, but I'll walk every step of the way and earn my food by scrubbing before I'll accept penny of David Pollock's money or give him a chance to speak to me again." Did you agree to go?" "No. I said that burrs weren't in 1t with me when it came to stickin', and if there was going to be any walking or scrubbing would be on the job to do my share. That Mary and I were
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-03-05

He said he'd heard enough of what was said to realize that we girls needed some help and advice, and suggested that since MT. Pollock seemed deter mined to stay there. that we might go down to his office."
 Did you go?"
 "Yes. Mary quieted down, at the presence of another man. and drying her eyes went with him, saying frank ly that she and wanted some work to pay our board until we could hear from home"
 Did the proprietor offer to help you ?'
 Amy bubbled with laughter. "He did better than that He handed Us each a job as biscuit singers in the dining room. Mary was to administer the ta- ble dhote to the regular and I was to be on the job with the transients-and SOME transients they were, too! Of course Mary made hit right off. She was the cutest thing you ever saw in the get-up of a hash-house Lizzie. Even the dyspeptic old grouch who edited the weekly newspaper smiled at her when she took his order, and the sour-faced old leftover that had been waiting on the table looked as if she wanted to strangle Mary every time she passed her"
 The judge laughed at the picture she conjured up, and Amy, blooming under the knowledge that she was pleasing her audience. turned towards him con- fidentially as she continued:
 Tits good thing, your honor, that they don't leave any cold poison lying around in rube hotels, because the first customer got was David Pollock! I did stick my finger in the oatmeal I was taking him and say, I hope you choke three times, but it didn't work"
 Again her bubbling laugh rippled out, followed by guffaw of delight from the listeners but as if it were a signal, the prosecutor leaped to his feet.
 Your Honor" he stormed. T object to the testimony of this witness being admitted as evidence! Is this a court room or a burlesque show? And Is my learned opponent revealing to us the gay life of Miss Barton or evidence dealing with the murder of David Pol lock?"
 May 1t please the court" retorted Langdon. "the events which took place in Prindleville had a very definite ef- feet upon the relations between David Pollock and the defendant. I crave the patience of your Honor and the gentle men of the jury with the witness-who is-er-not exactly conversant with the legal brevity demanded by law"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-03-05

T think" said his Honor, the ghost of smile still twitching at his lips, that the witness may go on with her story. But" he added, leaning forward with an admonishing gesture towards Amy, you must remember, Miss Bar ton, that you are here not to amuse us, but to answer as briefly as possible the questions put to you by counsel for the defence"
 I'm sorry, your Honor" she said for while" T don't doubt it." said the judge, smiling. Then, as if recollecting where he was, he cleared his throat loudly and sat back with a stern frown as Langdon said: .'How long did you remain at the ho- tel in Prindleville as waitress?" About three weeks" '-Did MT. Pollock remain there during that time?"
 "yes"
 Did he speak to you at any timer" Well, he had to speak to me, but he limited it to, Two boiled eggs and dry l toast or Gimme roast chicken and mashed potatoes,' but with Mary 1t was different. He didn't speak to her, but he never let her get out of his sight"
 Miss Barton, you say that you re- mained at the hotel about three weeks Why did you leave at the end of that timer"
 Because of the behavior of some o1 the men who came to the place."
 What do you mean by their behav- ior?"
 "Their-their-fres she said flushing a little "You see, when we first went to work, they were all very decent, especially to Mary, and every l thing was fine. Then they-they

SYNOPSIS.

Mary Page, actress is accused of the murder of David Pollock and is defended by her lover, Philip Langdon. Pollock was intoxicated. At Marys trial she ad- mits she had the revolver. Her maid testifies that Mary threatened Pollock with it previously, and Mary's leading man duplicates Langdon. How Mary dis appeared from the scene of the crime is 8 mystery Brandon tells of a strange hand print he saw on Marys shoulder. Further evidence shows that horror of drink pro duces temporary insanity in Mary. The defense is "repressed psychosis." Wit nesses describe Mary's flight from her in- toxicated father and her fathers suicide. Nurse Walton describes the Kidnapping of Mary by Pollock and Amy Barton tells of Mary's struggles to become an actress and of Polloclxs pursuit of her.

seemed to change even to me. I had to give a pretty sharp call-down to two or three of the sort of rubes that wear red ties. and shoes that look as if they had their trunk tucked in the toe, and finally something the landlady said put me wise to the fact that our charac- ters weren't worth a two-cent stamp in Prindleville. I didn't want Mary to know, so kept quiet till the day when the guy that always came for lunch got fresh and tried to kiss her."
 will you tell us. as briefly as possi- ble, Miss Barton, the events of that day?"
 Tt was a bad day to begin with" said Amy ruefully. T smashed some crockery in the morning, and the head waitress had had quarrel with her beau the night before, and everybody had a beautiful grouch, and in the midst of it the landlady came out to me. and told me that her regular girls were objecting to work with us, be- cause of our bad characters. Of course 1t made me pretty sore, and Twas just going to say few things about the bunch of biscuit singers they had around, when the door of the dining-room banged open and Mary, taking her apron off as she went, ran past us and up the stairs The landlady called her. but she never even looked around, so started after her. Just as did so a cheap. hashy guy who was regular boarder came out of the dining room, looking sheep ish and with one cheek bright red and the other very pale. I've seen a good smack make that kind of a complexion before, so I kind of waited around to see what he would do."
 Did he leave the hotel?"
 "No He walked out into the office and across to where Dave Pollock was sitting and flung himself into a chair beside him. At that sort of got be- hind some curtains and waited to hear what he said. but needn't have both cred about hiding. for he yelped loud enough to be heard all the way to the kitchen"
 Gan you tell us what he said?"
 "Yes. He ripped out good round damn or two; then he said, Say. look here, from what you told me. that Mary Page is no better than she should be. but crickey. she swung right onto my jaw that jared my brains in there, just because tried to give her kiss"
 Did MT. Pollock reply?"
 "No. First he looked as if he was going to hand the chump one himself, then he laughed as if he was satisfied with something. and I ran up stairs to

pals-and we'd take what was coming together"
 4 li.tle murmur of admiration stir red tits silence of the room, and Mary, lifting her head, smiled at Amy through tear -misted eyes, and for an instant the brisk joyousness forsook the little witt ness. and she dabbed at her own eyes with wisp of handkerchief, sudden ly bursting forth explosively:
 "Well, anybody would have stuck by Mary. She-she's the best ever.'
 "Did MT. Pollock leave with the com- pany?" asked Langdon. warning note in his voice, and with g. little start she turned back to him.
 "No. We thought he had gone, but after the train had pulled out, looked out of the window and saw him coming back to the hotel-grinning."
 Did you tell Miss Pager"
 'tNo. I thought 1t was better for her to think he was gone, so that she would get good nights sleep. Afterwards I wished had told her"
 "Why?"
 Because 1t was such an awful shock to her when he came to our door in the morning."
 twill you tell us the circumstances of that meeting, please?"
 s'Well, Mary and I were both dressed and ready for breakfast and we were talking over the chances of getting some sort of work to do in the town till we could get word home to mother to send us car-farc It costs quite a lot from Prindleville to the big town and we knew it might be days before the old lady could raise it. and we had to eat in the meantime. While we were still talking we heard knock at the door, and thinking it was the cham bermaid or maybe the proprietor Mary sings out, Come in And at that Day- i'd Pollock opened the door"
 'What did Miss Page do?''
 "She screamed and turning. hid her face against my shoulder for 8 mo- ment. Then she stood up and faced him. How dare you como here?' sue asked, and he had the decency to look pretty foolish. I dare because I am worried about you he said. I can't go and leave you stranded here; you've got to let me help you I shall never accept your help!' cried Mary, and I could tell by her voice that she was pretty close to tears. so, I stepped for ward and said, Look here, Dave Pol lock, it's pretty mean trick fox any man to persecute girl the way You're prosecuting Mary.
