 How do you know he was not a friend sf the young woman with whom ne entered the building?"
 "I asked him if he was acquainted with her. and he said he was. Later that same day she passed him in the hall of the building. noticed that she did not speak to him or recognize him in any way"
 The prosecutor waved hls hand tu the jury as If to say. You see. gentle men and followed on with another question.
 Was the defendants conduct in the building in any other way such as to arouse your suspicion?"
 He'd hardly got located before he began buzzing the telephone girl. ask ing her all kinds of questions about the other tenants in the building. He kept trying to get her to go out to dinner with him."

 "Call Mir. Wick" said the district attorney.
 I leaned forward to listen to every word of Wick's testimony. In fact from the moment he was brought In never took my eyes from him. It would be black enough for me if he merely stated the facts as they ac- tually had happened but l doubted if he would be content with that If, as felt certain, Wick was in the em- ploy of the conspirators, it was more than likely that they would seek to cinch the case against me with his testimony.
 He gave his name, James Wick, and his occupation as superintendent of the GranddecI.
 How long have you been employed there?"
 Ever since the building was opened"
 Where were you employed pre- viouslyY'
 Wick hesltated. I wondered if Cor mans surmise that he had been in prison were true, what he would say.
 Before that" he stammered, a"I was in the employ of Mir. Kent in the West"
 '.Who is Mir. Kent?"
 ''He owns the Granddeek. He had known me for years. He brought me on when he built this building"
 While his answer seemed to satisfy the district attorney, I was convinced from Wick's nervousness that he was concealing something, that further questioning into his past might lead to unexpected developments.
 Are you acquainted with the de fendant?'
 Very slightly"
 "How long have you known him?"
 1 was listening intently. Would he admit knowing that I was a relative of old Rufus Gaston?
 "I don't really know him." Wick ex- plained. i've seen him two or three times. Mir. Gaston, one of my ten ants. told me that he was going away and that he had given the key of his apartment to a young man named Nelson whom he had employed as caretaker. He said that the care taker would arrive at ten o'clock on the Sunday morning that the Gast0ns went away"
 And did the defendant arrive at that time-at the time he was ex- pected?"
 "He did not. What first attracted my attention to him was that he sneaked into the building earlier than he was expected"
 "You say he sneaked in," the dis triet attorneys voice expressed a prop CT horror of such conduct. Please explain to the jury what you mean by that"
 Instead of announcing his arrival, he watched his chance and waited till one of the tenants was coming in. He slipped in beside her and went

CHAPTER XIV.

Impatiently I waited for the recess to be over. l could not understand what was happening. Neither Cor man nor my counsel came near me- Even my mother made no attempt, so far as I could learn, to see me. The one. glimpse had had of Barbara there in the courtroom had fired ne again with wild desires to see her. My feelings were equally divided be- tween hoping she would and hoping she would not make any effort to reach meat least not until my trial was over.
 That something was happening to keep them all away-something per haps vital to my freedom-I was cer- tain. On no other ground could ex- plain the fact of none of them seek ing me for consultation. Yet what 1t might be could not possibly conjec- ture. Eagerly hurried into the court room again as soon as the recess was over, at once turning my eyes to sec If the girl loved was there.
 Quickly I located her still sitting be-  side my mother. Her veil now was boldly thrown back, and as she gazed at me with sparkling eyes and con- fident smile, I felt sure that across the distance she was trying to send some message of good tidings. My mothers face. too, I observed, now wore happier look, and about Cor man and MeGregor both was an air of greater confidence than either had manifested before.
 What had happened? What had they found out? Eagerly I waited de- velopments.
 The telephone girl was recalled tt the stand and her cross-examination resumed.
 Mrs. Moore" began McGregor- and I observed curiously that his voice in addressing her no longer was harsh and sarcastic but merely suave and lmpelling-"you have testified here as a witness against MT. Spal- ding Nelson, accused of having mur dered Daisy Lutan, have you not2"

 had expected that my counsel would offer objections to Wick's tes- timony, especially to his having said that did not appear anxious to "go back" into the apartment, but Me Gregor cOntented himself with two questions.
 Do you not know that Mir. Spal- ding Nelson is grand-nephew of MT. Rufus Gaston? Did not MT. Gaston tell you of this relationship"
 ''He did not" lied Wick calmly.
 How was Mir. Nelson first standing when you got out of the elevator when you first saw him?' recalled my attitude distinctly. I had been standing facing the door, straining my ears to catch any sound in the apartment. When l heard the elevator stopping, had looked around over my shoulder as Wick emerged.
 He was standing" said Wick, of his own accord, speaking direct to the
 jurors, with his back against the door. One hand-his right hand-was behind him. I thought at first he might have a revolver in 1t and drew one I always carry but he had not It looked aseif he had just slipped out of the door and was reaching behind him to close it when I discovered him.
 That will be all." said my counsel to my great disappointment. Through out the mixed medley of truth and lies that Wick had been telling, there had been manifest to me his deliberate purpose to diseredit me and cast sus- pteien on me. I felt certain that an abler lawyer could quickly have rid died his testimony. but McGregor showed no disposition to take advan- tage of his opportunity.

She cor roborated Wicks story of my first ar rival at the Granddeck and bore out his statements about my having chat ted with her and also told of having gone to dinner with me.

TOL0VANA WOMAN
 SEVERELY FROZEN; MAY NOT SURVIVE

According to wireless adyices re- ceived a. Fairbanks this morning from the Tolovana district, Mrs. George Wheeler is in a precarious condition as the result of exposure on the trail during the recent very severe weather. Both of the un- fortunate woman's legs are reported to have been frozen, and it is con- sidered doubtful if she will live until she can be placed under med ical care at Fairbanks, to which place she is now being rushed by dog team.
 Details of the accident are not obtainable at this time, but it is presumed that Mrs. Wheeler was some distance from Brooks when the freezing occurred. The infor- nation states merely that the ac- cident happened on March 25 and that both of the frozen limbs have turned black.
 There is no doctor at Brooks, which accounts for the fact that Mrs. Wheeler is being taken to Fairbanks.
 The frost victim is the wife of George Wheeler, well-known min ing operator of the Tolovana and Fairbanks districts.

ARRIVAL Of PRINCE ST|RS CANAL FORCE

PANAMA, March 31. Earth slides in Culebra cut, which have
 blocked navigation through the Pan- anna canal during the past several
 weeks, are being blasted today to
 permit the passage of the British 'dreadnaught Renown, which is en- route to Australia with the Prince
 of Wales.
 When the work of removing the obstruction started, the slides had formed an island in the cut, fifty feet wide above the water, com pletely blocking the channel. More
 than a score of ships have been
 held up by the slides.
 The Renown left England on
 March fifth and was to have passed through the canal yesterday, but the slides have upset the schedule somewhat. From Colon, the prince will proceed to San Diego, thence to Honolulu, the Fiji islands, and Auckland, being scheduled to reach the last named place on April IT,

 He attributes the state of unpra- paredness 10 the mental and tenn iperamental characteristics of the man at the head of the navy de partment, and to his policy. The
 man at the head of the navy, in tho. opinion of Fiske. should be imbued ; with the spirit of the navy, highly educated. open minded, and ac- quainted with the principles upon which naval preparedness is based Fiske was adviser to Daniels sev- eral years before America entered the war, and resigned after he had had several disputes with the secre- tary on the question of abolishing' wine on warships, ..... ..... Chaos Existed. ."...: Captain Harris Lansing, assistant chief of the bureau of navigation before the war, who also appeared
 before the committee, declared that
 virtual chaos existed in the navy
 department when America entered

 impossible often to get the approval
 of really important policies.
