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 outs his finger with a knife and then sends the handkerchief with which he had bound the cut out of the room. CHAPTER XIII “If this should be the truth,” said he District Attorney, “and you vere aware of what he had done, iow did Mr. Whittaker expect to es- ape examination by investigators of ds business affairs?” It must have been half a minute â-ºefore Paula de Young answered. iVhen she spoke, her reply sank blan- ceted in the absorbing stillness. “Mr. Whittaker was not going to >e here for any examination. He ex- pected to sail for Italy at midnight m October seventeenth.” The exietement that stirred specta- ;ors was like the splash of the sea m the beach. A growing noise in which the pounding of the gavel was Irowned. “Did he tell you this?” asked the District Attorney. “No. He expected to get away se- cretly." 10c a day buys a new guaranteed REMINGTON PORTABLE TYPEWRITER with all essential features free- carrying CASE TOUCH TYPING INSTRUCTOR writeâ€" Remington Rand Limited Toronto /"'•HILDREIN of all ages ^ thrive on “CROWN BRAND’!

The man who delivered it asked me to sign the receipt for a steamship tic- ket and passport. I opened the pack- age to make sure the contents were correct. The ticket was for the Rex sailing that night.” “Did you deliver it to Mr. Whit- taker?” “Not then. He was closeted with Mr. Trent. I went to the filing room.” I saw the prisoner’s hands clench. He bent close to Senator Bart. He spoke desperately. He was agitated to the point of frenzy. But the eyes of the court-room were on Paula de Young. “Why did you do that?” “I wanted to be alone, to think what was best to do.” “How long were you there ?” “I don’t know exactly. An hour perhaps.” “Did you return to your office then ?” “Yes.” “Was Mr. Trent still with Mr. Whittaker?” No Voices The bag slid from Paula de Young’s hands to the floor. She hung on to the chair arms. She moistened her lips and her terrified eyes travelled just once toward the prisoner. Then she tore them away and faced the District Attorney. “No, he was not there,” she said. “How do you know?” demanded Mr. Patterson. “There were no voices. I waited a moment. Then I went into Mr. Whittaker’s offices.” The-Prosecutor’s next precipitate question probably echoed the ques- tion in all our minds. “Was Mr. Whittaker alive or dead?” “Mr. Whittaker was alive. He was alone. He was sitting at his desk mopping up with a blotter some red ink that had spilled from a tipped over inkstand.” “Where was Mr. Trent?” “I did not see him at all.” “What happened then?” The room was in a furore as Julian Trent sprang up and turning to the Bench said hoarsely: “Your Honor, don’t let her say another word. She doesn’t know what she’s doing.” “Yes, I know,” came clear from the girl. “I know what I’m doing. I’m telling the truth.” And in turn she addressed the Bench. “Please let The CANADA STARCH COMPANY limited ÃŽ55 WEAK, NERVOUS? pOR young girls growing into womanhood,# for women in middle life going through the “change,” or those who suffer from headache. backache and nervous- ness associated with functional disturbances, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite reliable vegetable tonic.

Wheth- er you lay claim to Irish blood or be- lieve in banshees and the little peo- ple or not, the parties you will be giving about this time are apt to have a touch of Old Ireland in the menus and decorations. Here then, are some suggestions in the way of menus which will help you to give a charming party without too much trouble. That is a very important point to remember in plan- ning a party because the hostess must be able to enjoy it herself and she can’t if she is worrying about last me give you the truth. I’ve held it back too long.” Judge MacKenzie’s gavel came came down with a bang. “Let the witness proceed.” Typewritten Confession “Mr. Whittaker was surprised. He thought 1 had gone home. 1 told him the parcel had come and I had wait- ed to give it to him personally. He reached out for it. I locked' the door and instead of giving Mm. the parcel, laid the typewritten confession be- fore him.” Here Max Conrick, at the demand of Trench, approached the Bench and spoke in a rapid low tone inaudible to the straining listeners. The Judge bent down and evidently informed the witness she need not proceed with- out advice of counsel. But she shook her head and repeated quite audibly: “1 want to tell the truth. May I go on without interruption?” He wanted to give her time, I could see that. He must have felt that on second thought this girl on the stand might halt the story she had recklessly started. But she went on with calm that was more heart- breaking than tears. “He asked what 1 meant and I said I must have his signature to the con- fession before he got out of that room. He looked at me as if he be- lieved I’d suddenly gone crazy. I told him I knew exactly what I was doing and he was to sign immediate- ly. He took his pen and signed.” “Wait a minute!” interrupted the Prosecutor. "He signed without a protest because you demanded it?” "He had to. I had a gun pointed at him.” Again Trent was on his feet but the Judge would not permit him to speak. “It Was Too Late” “He signed,” repeated Paula de Young. “And then he stood up and said: ‘Drop that damned thing!’ I said I would when he backed away from the desk so that I could get hold of the confession. He did. I kept him covered while I picked up the paper. Then I backed from, the desk and toward the door. I said to him: ‘I’m going to lock the door on the outside. Your phone is disconnected at the switchboard, so there’s no use trying to get anybody. When I leave, I’ll put the key on my side of that window’.” “What window?” asked the District Attorney, . “The little communicating window between our rooms. He said: ‘Where is my passport?’ And I told him: ‘You’re not going to get your pass- port. You’ll stay and face the music.’ Then he came at me. He tried to force the gun out of my hand.” She stopped short. Her mouth worked and her teeth bit into the lower lip until blood trickled down her chin. She mopped it with her handkerchief and the white linen came away red. “Then I heardâ€"-I saw what had Happened. I saw Mm catch at his vest with one hand and the other trying to hold to the desk «back of him. But he went down. He dropped like a bundle of rags. I knew I ought to call for help. But I couldn’t. It wouldn’t have done any good anyway. It was too late.” (To be Continued) DO YOU FEEL SLUGGISH?
