Impatiently l 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 ! could learn, to see me. The
one glimpse l had had OF Barbara
there in the courtroom had fred me
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

That something was happening to

haps vital to my freedom-I was Ger

plain the fact of zone OF them seek

might be l could not possibly conjec-
ture. Eagerly l hurried into the court
room again as soon as the recess was
over, at once turning my eyes to see
II the girl l loved was there.
Quickly l 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-
f1dent smile, / felt sure that across

l had expected that my counsel
would offer objections to Wick's tes-
timony. especially to his having said
that l did not appear anxious to ''go
back" into the apartment, but Nc
Gregor contented himself with two
questions.
do you not know that Mr.. Spal-
ding Nelson Is a granddaughter Of Mr..
Rufus CASTOR? Did not Mr.. CASTOR
tell you of this relationship"
HE did not" lied Wick calmly.
"How was Mr.. Nelson first standing
when you got out Of the elevator
when you first saw him?"
l recalled my attitude distinctly. l
had been standing facing the door.
straining my ears to catch any sound
In the apartment. When l heard the
elevator stopping, l had looked around
over my shoulder as Wick emerged.
HE was standing" said Wick, Of
his WI accord, speaking direct to the
jurors, with his back against the
door. One hand-his right hand-was
behind him. l thought at first he
might have a revolver in 1t and drew
one I always carry, but he had not.
It looked as IL he had just slipped out
Of the door and was reaching behind
him to close 1t when / 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 dlscredit me and cast sus-
pici0n on me. felt certain that an
ADLER lawyer could quickly have rid
died his testimony, but McGregor
showed no disposition to take advan-
tage Of his opportunity.
Nellie Kelly was called. Briefly
she told Of her job-switchboard op-
orator at the G%randdeck. She cor
roborated Wick's story of my first ar
rival at the Granddeck and bore out
his statements about my having chat
ted with her and alsor-told Of having
gone to dinner with me. When I had
begun questioning her about other
tenants, she said. she excused herself
and went to the telephone and called
up the Granddeck for advice as to
how she should answer For some
reason. she said. when she returned
after phoning, the defendant had not
questioned her further but had seem
ed anxious to get away from the res
taurant.
"You say" said McGregor, as he
began her cr0ss-examination, that
your name IL Nellie Kelly. Is that
your real name?"
My c0unsel's unexpected question
came as q thunderbolt to the opposi-
ton. The whole courtroom seemed
to EMS that something crucial was
about to be brought out. The Jurors
to . man leaned forward to listen for
her answer. The district attorney,
plainly puzzled. half rose In his seat
and then subsidized. Wick's face went
white. and the girl herself started and
her eyes turned helplessly to Wick, as

CHRISTMAS BUYING

People ought now to take UP the
matter of their Christmas purchases.
The old custom of everybody rushing
into stores just before Christmas, buy
ing goods right and left, then clog
ging the mails and express by mount
aims of small packages, is contrary to
all reason. Thoughtful people keep
their eyes open all the year for APP
prppriate gifts.
Store clerks, mail and express en-
ployes dread the holiday season. A
period supposed to bring gladness,
which is celebrated to make people
happy, brings hurried days and nights
over-work and sometimes breakdown
to hundreds and thousands of people.
1t should be possible to celebrate the
birth of Christ without making lot
of people almost sick.
Many persons complain that they
can't buy Christmas stuff in advance
because they never have money "a
head That reason may, be genuine in
many cases, yet often the people who
make it are throwing money away in
silly purchases all the year.
1t is impossible for merchants to
serve the people efficiently when they
all rush into the stores within short
period and buy as much in a week as
ordinarily they would in two months
One reason why so many foolish pur-
chases used to be made at Christmas
was that people could get very little
attention in the crowded stores and
grabbed for whatever they could get
Goods sent off few days before
Christmas do not usually reach their
destination until after the holiday.
Not much use to send it unless you
can be more prompt. Christmas gifts
should be more bought and sent.

have the warm thanks of all in retail
trade and in postal and express ser
vice.
