CHAPTER VH “No â€" no, please don’t.” Her eyes clung to me suddenly. ‘‘Please don’t go, I haven’t talked to anyone in so long.” She took a gulp of the scalding tea, all the while looking at me with that strained look in her eyes. “They told me not to see or speak to any- body. But I can’t stand it. I’ve spent nights talking to myself like â€" like a crazy person. Today in court. I wanted to â€" ” she broke off. “That woman lied today. She lied on the witness stand. Mr. Whittaker wasn’t going to marry her. He was through with her.” “Did she threaten him â€" ever?” “I don’t know. I only know he want- ed to get rid of her and couldn’t. He used to tell me: ‘if that woman ever tries to see me at the off ice keep , her away until I get out of the place,’ ” “She claimed he was due::, at her apartment the night he was kiln'd.” “Perhaps he promised, hut he was not going there. He was running away. To Europe. Sailing at midnight on the seventeenth.” “Why don’t you get on the stand and tell that to the jury?” I was so eager my voice stumbled. “Tell, them she was lying about her engagement to Whittaker. Tell them lie was quit- ting the country." “What good would that do?” she asked. My excitement went suddenly cold. I bad! been thinking of Julian Trent. I had forgotten what Ollie Barnes had said â€" that this girl was to be star witness for the Prosecution. “I see,” I said sharply. “You are afraid such evidence might clear Mr. Trent,” “Afraid? Afraid I might clear him ? Why, I â€"” her teeth drove into her '• Remedy SCIATIC PAINS There is little doubt nowadays that the best way to tackle Sciatica, Lumbago, .Rheu- matic Pains, etc., is from within. You can’t rub out Uric Acid, you must rinse it out. Fynnon Salt is an ideal interna! rinse. A half teaspoonful in water makes a pleasant, non-fizzy saline, laden with Sodium, Potassium, Lithium, and other remedial elements that gently rinse the system of the dogging deposits formed by Uric Add.

He and I were the only ones who knew where.” “What does it matter who puts me on the stand?” she said huskily. “And what does the form matter or who it is that questions me first? Nothing matters except that they want to send him to the chair and everyhing’s con- spiring against him. Even I â€"” she broke off again. “I seem to bo help- ing them do it.” Her eyes were suddenly dark pools down which I; searched to a depth un- fathomable. 1 saw what held those eyes to Julian Trent all day in court, what kept her hour after hour follow- ing every move he made, even past the door that shut him off from her. I reached across, the table and took her two hands. They were like wet glasses. She was shaking. “Look here, go and see Max Conrick tonight and tell him everything that you’ve told me.” “I did tell him. But they won’t use it. They'can’t. Because Whittaker was running away from the consequences of his love affair with Julian Trent’s wife. Because he was escaping with other people’s money and leaving Jul- ian Trent to go to jail for his sins. That’s the terrible part of it. The truth that ought to free only makes things worse. If you were on the jury, wouldn't you say Mr. Trent had mot- ive enough to try to stop him from getting away, no matter how?” “But under the circumstances I can not see how a jury can do anything but acquit.” I keep saying, over and over, like a prayer. ‘They’ll let him off. They’ve got to let, him off. They can't find him guilty.’ But I don’t believe it. I am afraid â€" horribly afraid.” “Have you loved him for a long time ?” Basked. “Long before he and Mr. Whittaker formed a partnership; when he used to come into our office at Continental Broadcasting. He never said very much to me in those days, but the sound of his voice, the sincerity and friendliness, they meant so much. He came to me of his own accord when I had pneumonia and was alone. Mr. Whittaker sent flowers but Mr. Trent sent his doctor and a trained nurse. And he dropped in every other day or so. That was two and a half years ago.” “Did you know then about his wife and Whittaker?” “I guessed it. Mr. Whittaker often kept me late at the office and she’d phone after hours.” I asked quickly. “Does he care, too ? Then added “I shouldn’t ask that. Do not answer.” “I can’t. I don’t know. Sometimes I think â€" “she pulled her hands from mine and pressed them against her forehead. “Sometimes I think if I did know I could stand all this and come through somehow. He’s so â€" so stoïiy, as if he doesn’t care whether he lives or dies. He’s got to live. He mustn’t die. If I could only give him the will to go on.” “If he knows you love him, lie’ll want to go oil. There’ll be a reason.” “He does know. Please don’t ask I can’t tell you, but lie does eiB ç* « - «g v Tfhen don’t be afraid of the truth.
