The doctor says Whittaker must; have died about ten a.m. To him the witness stand obvious- xfiered rare opportunity for dis- if his charms. He spoke with mellifluous intonation. He •iat he had been on duty of October seventeenth, :n Trent and Whittaker to door, His was the only eleva- ■nf.in.tc at that:,hour. He 1 I -.noticed the timé because ...nomary for these gentlemen gentlemen to come to the office at night. ; He replied smoothly to questions until Max Conrick took him. to hand. Mr. Conrick asked Casually whether he was on duty every night. When he answered that he was not, the attorney sprang on him: "Then your statement that it; was not customary for Mr. Trent and Mr. Whittaker to go to their offices at night is nothing more than a guess." This slightly disturbed the youth's composure. He replied hastily that 'his information came from the other hoys. But hearsay was not admissible as evidence. Had there been other visitors to the building between nine and midnight? midnight? demanded Conrick. On an affirmative affirmative answer, he asked their names. Levino coughed. He squirmed a bit.

"At what time did you take Mr. Henshaw down?" Levine looked doubtf td. "About ten-fortyl" he said finally. "You're not sure ""tj> the minute?" "No sir." Levino's cocky smile had vanished. Just then I noticed ; a peculiar thing. A t mention of the hour of Hen- Nshaw's departure, Julian Trent's eyes balanced thr'fc»« -fin the stand as. a pair of scales might have weighted evidence for or against him. Bui he a Max Conrick abruptly halted hiS; cross • examination, Levino left the witness chair, The Prosecution then called: "Constance Trent." Julian Trent's stony expression gave way to blank amazement, He turned to his senior counsel, speaking speaking rapidly, excitedly. Whatever its significance, the news of his ex- wife's presence came to him as a complete surprise. He watched the beautiful woman who had been his wife enter and sweep to the witness stand. Gardenia Gardenia scent circled round her. She suggested suggested a gardenia, flawless cream skin and costumed entirely in green, the tint of that flower's artificiallooking artificiallooking leaves. Her blue eyes wore accented with shadowy pencil. Her lips, pursed, almost to a pout, were moist red. A sable scarf the brown of her hair draped over her shoulders. She had the gliding effortless walk of a woman who knows how to dispose dispose her limbs without the slightest self-consciousness.... Julian Trent watched her eyew- inch of el-,, "v..y. ji. was as if his mind marched at her side and . took its place beside her in the witness chair. She did not; look at him.

So is every other man he.*?, except Trent. Even my old It-icnd, the honorable honorable Judge." The black robed figure of Judge MacKenzie had turned in the lady's direction so that not a move, not an item of her delectable perfection escaped escaped him. Under Prosecutor Peter- • soifs guidance, she told the jury she had married Julian Trent five and a half years - before.: Their marriage marriage had not been happy. Trent's attorney immediately objected objected on the ground that the status of his client's: marriage was immaterial. immaterial. His objection was sustained but several jurors glanced with astonishment. astonishment. at the man lucky enough to possess the woman before them, yet so stupid or careless or brutal as to lose her. The Mask Is Off Mrs, Trent testified that she had been granted a divorce in Reno the spring before. The suit, conducted quietly with no more notice than a brief announcement in the papers, had been uncontested. Would Mrs. Trent kindly inform ithe jury, urged Mr. Peterson, on what grounds the divorce had Been granted ? Again and vehemently Max Conrick Conrick objected. This time the Prosecution Prosecution stood firm. The matter had a direct bearing on the case. After a verbal battle in which Conrick moved moved for a mistrial which was denied, the lovely woman on the stand was permitted to inform the jury that "mental cruelty" had been the basis of her suit. When asked to elucidate, she explained this mental cruelty as the result of Julian Trent's inorevn- atc jealousy. Often his temper gave vent to blind rage in which she was actually afraid for her life. Max Conrick shouted his objection against this last statement. Over the Prosecution's protest it was struck from the record and Judge MacKenzie MacKenzie leaned down to inform Constance Trent that; she must deal; in facts and not in her fears. While the public down to the last person in the room centered attention attention on her, I stole a sidelong glance at Trent. The mask was off. 1 have seldom seen such bitter hate in a man's face. His fingers twitched as "if they demanded to spring at her' neck. (To be continued.) Household Science „ By -\N FLETCHER e cocking, sti con- ' "ned. j )>;, 3on- ' ' irf <?
