! quiet reigned. 1T was Miss Page you
took the message to. wasn't it9'
Yes. sir. II was her And the gent In
the gray suite he says Tell Miss Pag,
Mr.. Langdon wants TO see her here at

And you delivered the message just
that way to Miss Pager"

why didn't you testify TO this at the
coroner's inquest7" II was the Judge
this time, stern and implacable, and the
boy In the witness box cringed and burst
into tears
"They-they-n-never asked me wot the
message was I was takin TO her. II
didn't think Il mattered."
With an exclamation Of evaporation
the prosecutor sat down, turning the
small witness over to Langdon, into whose
tired face fresh hope had now come. His
voice, as he spoke to the boy. was gentle
and friendly. and the snuffling lad, wiping
HIS eyes with the back OF his hand, an
swered him eagerly. He seemed glad to
find someone who didn't brighten him.

young voice Everybody knew Dave

And he was pretty generous in his
tips, wasn't he?" The question was
quiet and the district attorney, who
had made a move 10 interrupt, sank
back without speaking as the boy an
swered:
"Oh. so-sol He could afford to be-"
Ard so. on the night when he asked
you to take that message to Miss Page,
he gave you a good big tip, didn't he?"
Yes said the boy. beginning TO whim-
per again But 1 didn't do IL for that

the m%esage. He says to me, says he

That is all. think" said IAngdon
with satisfaction, and the boy crsrr
back to the witness-bench. striving in
vain for some of the jaunty assurance
that had marked him in the earlier ho'I.s
OF the day. He had thought he would
be little hero after his testimony and
that he would enjoy the fleeting public
ity; but he was ashamed of the laugh
he had made
The prosecutor himself was almost
equally discounted. for It had been his
plan TO build up stone by stone a tower
ing temple OF evidence to prove that
Mary Page had in cold blood plotted and
carried out the murder OF David Pollock,
ana now the boys testimony had in a
minute undermined the whole structure.
II forced him to play his trump card
at what he feared was the wrong mo-
ment, but except for a harassed frown
he showed little signs Of his disappoint-
ment as he again called Mary to the wit
ness stand.

roads asked that the rate be increased

was favorable TO the railroads to the
extent that an increase OF four-tenths OF
a cent per mile was fixed. The commits
sion ordered that the increase be applied
on all Interstate business but not upon
intrastate.
The order OF the commission applied
20 the Union Pacific the same ms TO
