For lovers of green tea CEtEEHTEA WITNESS CHAIR BY REITA WEIMAN Synopsis Stanley Whittaker is found dead in his office. His partner, Julian Trent, is accused of his murder. At the trial the woman who tells the story Is a guest of the Judge. Trent and Whit- taker had quarreled about money mat- ters and Trent knew of his wife’s at- tachments for Whittaker. Henshaw, an accountant, says he saw Trent in the washroom the night of the mur- der scrubbing at a spot on his clothes and that later he found a stained wet towel there. The District Attorney cuts his finger with a knife and then sends the handkerchief with which he had bound the cut out of the room. CHAPTER XII “When did you first see this revol- ver?" District Attorney Peterson con- tinued. “Last July.” “Where did you -see It?” “At the office." Paula’s voice was unsteady now and Mr. Peterson’s next question hung for a second unanswer- ed. “Under what particular circum- stances did you see It?” “Mr. Trent asked me to find a place for his army equipment.” “He brought this gun to the offices of the Whittaker Broadcasting Comp- any and asked you to find a safe place to put it away?” “Mrs. Trent was giving up his apart- ment â€"” she began. “Just a minute. Answer only my question, please. Mr. Trent requested yon to put this gun away for him, did he not?” “Yes," came scarcely above a whis- per. On The Rocks “Did Mr, Trent state whether or not the gun was loaded?” demanded Peterson. BRAND" COEN SYRUP.

MAKE YOUR LIVER Produce its bile Your liver has a big job to do. Make it do what, it Is supposed to. Its job is to produce 18 to 36 fluid ounces of bile every day and send it. through the system. If it falls down on its job you suffer. AND HOW! The most effective stimulant for the liver known to medical science is calomel, which in small doses is of the highest use in conges- tive conditions, especially those due to over- eating, over indulgence in alcohol, lack of ex- ercise, etc, Tanol Tablets contain a certain proportion of calomel, blended with eascara fcnd other medicines. They are mild and harm- less. But your liver understands and takes the hint. For «ale at all druggists, 30c. (B) “No,” admitted Paula de Young. Mi-. Peterson then asked quite am iably: “You stated a moment ago that Mr. Trent was giving up his apartment. This happened after Mrs. Trent had secured her divorce, did it not?” “Yes." “Therefore, as the direct result of Mr. Whittaker’s actions, both Mr. Trent's home and his business were on the rocks when he brought this gun to the office and left it there, were they not?" Oonrick’s immediate Insistence that his opponent’s wording was prejudic- ial to the defense was upheld. Decidedly annoyed, the District At- torney revised his question: “Well, at any rate, hadn’t Mr. Trent’s wife left him at the time he brought this gun to the office?” “Yes," murmured the girl. “And hadn’t his business associa- tion with Mr. Whittaker come to the breaking point when Mr. Trent brought this gun to the Whittaker Broadcasting office and left it there?" Her “yes" was little more than an intake of breath. ITe made her repeat the word. Their Eyes Meet In the pause that followed, Ollie Barnes, sitting next to me, scribbled: “He’s establishing premeditated mur- der,” Ollie didn’t have to tell me. 1 knew, When Mr. Peterson handed her the gun, 1 had known by the sick sensa- tion like the weight of a plummet sinking to my toes. Mr. Peterson reached for the revol- ver. The girl leaned forward and for a second did not straighten. She look- ed as if she might drop in a heap. “Would you like a glass of water?” he asked. “Please." It was then I noticed that Julian Trent no longer liad his head bowed. His gaze was on the witness and for a fleeting instant their eyes met. A brief instant while the Prosecutor had turned to give orders and Paula de Young straightened in the, witness chair. This was the first time I had seen them exchange so much as a soli- tary glance. In spite of Trent’s magni- ficent control throughout the trial, the fear in the girl’s eyes was reflected In his. Then instantly all expression was blotted out and he sat immobile as before. Paula de Young closed her eyes and kept them closed until the water was brought. She drank it like one who travels parched across the desert. Threats Overhead The District Attorney’s next fusil- ade of questions was rapid fire: “Did you see Mr. Trent ând Mr. Whittaker together on October seventeenth?” “I did.” ‘‘Were you present while Mr. Trent was in the room?” “Not always.” “When you were in the adjoining room, could you hear what they were saying?” “1 couldn’t help overhearing." “Did Mr. Whittaker know this?" “Yes. It made no difference, I had been his confidential secretary too long.” “On October seventeenth, of what nature were the interviews between Mr. Trent and Mr. Whittaker?" “They had to do with final arrange- ments In the dissolution of their part- nership.” “Were angry words exchanged?” “At times.” “Were there threats on Mr. Trent’s part ?" “No. The threats were from Mr. Whittaker.” Siding; : dog tearntf# sleighing, hockey i and skatingâ€"every- thing in Winter out-» door-life.

Mr. Trent had discovered Mr. Whittaker’s manipulation of moneys invested by people who had faith in them both.” “What was the nature of his threats against Mr. Trent?” interposed Mr. Peterson hastily. The Absolute Truth “Mr. Trent said Mr. Whittaker would have to make good every -cent he. had stolen. Mr. Whittaker laughed and said, ‘The money is gone and you can’t do a thing about it. Your hands are tied, old man. If I go to jail, you go with me.’ ” “And what did Mr. Trent answer?” "Mr/ Trent didn’t answer at all.” “What was the next statement from either of them?” “Mr. Whittaker said, “Well, that’ll make you hold your horses, won’t it?’ There was no answer, Mr. Trent left the room. 1 heard the door close.” “At what time was this?” “Toward five-thirty in the after- noon.”' ‘‘Now, Miss de Young, you stated in your testimony that Mr. Whittaker mis-applied the funds of his company. Did he take you into his confidence as to alleged secreted moneys which had rightfully belonged to stockholders?" “He did. Most of the money was put in his son’s name as part of a legacy left by Mrs. Whittaker to her children. The balance was used to pay the gambling debts of his daughter, Mr. Whittaker is sole executor of his wife’s estate and his son does not re- ceive the principal until he is thirty." “If what you say is true â€"” “It is the truth,” insisted the girl and suddenly her eyes flamed as if a torch had been lighted behind them. “It is the absolute truth.” (To be continued) Issue No. 10â€"’38 B The children, a boy aged 16 and his 14-year-old sister, were being sued by a showman who had obtain- ed a contract for their services.

Tides and winds pile up and lower the water from time to time. Before the crossing was dredged out for the present thirty-five feet deep channel, it was possible to cross by stepping from sand bar to sand bar when the winds and tides combined to lower the water level.
