“Oh! You had made arrangements
then to meet Mr. Langdon there?"
Again the satiric note crept Into the
harsh voice, and a crimson tide rushed
to Mary's pale cheeks.
‘Tile hoy told me.” she said with dig
nity. "tliut Mr Langdon was waiting
to speak to me. I fboughtdie had come
to take me home."
"The boy—what-boy?" The question
leapt sharply now.
"Wb/, the -bellboy who brought the
message." she said In surprise, and.
turning, pointed toward the group of
witnesses where the small bellhop
cowered, half covering his fhee with
Ids shaklngfhnuds.

was upon him. and some of the hostil

“That Is all, I think." said Langdon

nf the laugh lie had made.
The prosecutor himself was almost
equally discomfited, for it had been his
plan to build up stone by stone a tow
erjng tpmple of evidence to prove that
Mary Page inul in cold blood plotted
and carried out the murder of James
Pollock, and now the hoy's testimony

But before she had reached the door

The mere sight of his graceful ftgnro
and Ids. boyish facet that handsooM
'juvenile expression that wa* his stock

surging over her, and the ■ hocked pity
in his eyes made her realize keenly
the difference that lay between Mary
Page the prisoner—and Mary Page tho
star. I •/. ■
His tesltinony was to a Ifreql extent
a repetition of what bad gone before.
He had liecn at the banquet; had seen
the boy tiring the message to Mi o
Page and had' bidden her g «*d i.i it
when she left. A few inhniics lafcr
the sound of the shot had taken him
down the hall with tjie others and Into
the room where Pollock and Mary lay
