He was a tall man, but the dig- nity of his carriage, and the way he held his shoulders, lent him an ap- pearance of great height as he took his place in the witness-box and held up his right hand to take the oath. “Dr. Foster, you specialize in d eases of the brain, do you not?"” ‘I do. In both mental and nervous Have you a sanatorium just out- side this city?” “I have.” “Have you ever seen the defendant before?" “I have seen Miss Page on several occasions. The first time was when I saw Mr. Langdon, whom I had known for some vears, drive up with a girl | beside him in the motor. She seemed to be asleep or only partially con- scious. She opened her eves as I came up, and got unsteadilv to her feet, and then I noticed that her heavy veil hid the fact that her face was livid from some great suffering. After we had given her into the charge of Nurse Walton I took Mr. Langdon into my office, where he told me briefly of Miss Page's attack of madness, and the incidents that had led up ta it. » Do vou wish me to re- iterate the story in detail?” he asked. turning toward the judge. “It | is substantially the same as that | which has already been told by Mrs. | Page and the man MacPherson, “I do not think it will be neces- sary.” said His Honor drily, looking interrogatively towards Langdon, and | the latter shook his head. Yot at all,” he said. On the con- trary, we will skip the story, but I have one or two questions to ask re- garding it. At the time of the tell- ing, where were you?" itting at the desk office. 1 was both disturbed and shocked at what Mr. Langdon told me, and I got up and began pacing to and fro, finally taking up my stand by the window. While Mr. Lang- don was still talking I saw an auto- nrobile drive furiously up to my gate and a man leap out. My exclama- tion drew Tangdon to the window and he cried sharply, ‘My God! that's David Pollock.” " “Did you already know wa i in my private who he from pa- ady | ged | something of had I had heard of him various men who had been my tients, and Mr. Langdon had alr told me that Mr. Pollock was eng: to Miss Page, and also how - that engagement brought about.

No, 1 left Mr. Pollock in the recep- tion-room and returned to my office, where I apprised Mr. Langdon of the situation. Together we went to the room assigned to Miss Page. She was in bed, and seemed comfortable and calm. While T was talking to her, however, finding out a little of her nervous condition, Mr. who had been getting near the door, gave a sharp exclamation and darted out into the hall. Miss Walton the nurse went to the door after him, but before she reached it we could all hear the sounds of a loud altercation. When I reached the scene myself, T found Mr. Langdon and Mr. Pollock attempting to force himself past to get to Miss Page's room. He declared it to be his right to be with her and =said that Mr. Langdon was an interloper, a kid- napper, and a great many other things.” “Did vou interfere?” “I did. one thing that we cannot possibly per- mit in a hospital given over to those wihose nerves are shattered .or whose mental balance is in auestio Tt took me some time to quiet Mr. Pol- Jock, but he returned to the recep- tion-room eventually, and Mr, Lang- don and I hurried back to Miss Page | Who was very much excited and crying out that she did see ‘David'—or anvone mother and Mr. Langdon. ed down when we came was not want to except her She o Pot- in. especially i after she had heen reassured that no one would “Did effect 2" “T did disturb her. vou give any orders to that T told Miss Walton to where she could watch the door, and that if David Pollock made any at- tempt to come down the hall she was at once to ring for help and bar him out.” “Did Miss Walton seem to consider the order unusual “Well, not exactly that.

However. as T had always found her trustworthy and a splendid nurse, I paid but little attention to her excitement.” “You say vou paid but little atten- tion to her excitement. Did you have any inkling as to what might have caused that agitation?” “Not at the time, but later when Miss Walton told me what had hap- pened, admitting—" “May it please the court,” inter- rupted the Prosecutor leaping to his feet, “Dr. Foster is retailing hearsay. 1d T object to the question of my rned colleague.” There was a tinge satisfaction in his volce at being to interrupt the famous alienist was said know as much of law as medicine, and the doctor flushed with annoyance.

She even made no comment upon Katie's presence or the undignified ranter between Dicky and the girl. Yet I knew that a short time before she had discharged Katie for her rudeness to Dicky about my de- parture. Dicky sprang up, of amazement and chagrin. He knew that his mother had heard his rail- lery of Katie and the embarrassment ot the knowledge showed in his face. 1 may have flattered myself, but T thought T also read in his eves that he did not exactly relish the presence of even his mother in these fi moments of our reconciliation. his face a study For Your Imsurance and Surety Bonas ‘Avold trouble by having your tnsur- knows e written by a man who Go to WIGHT A.

But to my surprise she simply smiled, and said to me in a tone dis- tinctly cordial: “Thank you. you.” I hurried to the kitchen to find Katie sobbing in a chair in a corner with her apron thrown over her head. 1 pulled the apron from her face and gave her a little shake. “Do stop this nonsense, said firmly.

Miss Herne's o e mother will arrive here from York Sunday to be present at opening performance Monday night and will remain a few davs. Miss Gladys Herne, a sister of the popular leading lady at the Lyceum, will come up from her theatrical duties in the metropolitan city to witness her sis- ter's efforts. Friends of Miss Herne from many parts of New England are planning to be here. Because of the fame of her distinguished fathe James A. Herne, who wrote “Shore Acres,” theatrical people are evinc- ing a great interest in the worl of Miss Herne. If this play is as cessful as many predict it will be, will have a run on Broadway. 511 accounts the play is made up well balanced situations and clever lines. The members of the stock com- pany who are to take part in the pro- duction and who are bu: reheasing every morning are enthus- jastic over its possibilities. That New Britain people are fortunate in getting a chance to see the pl: New Yorkers is manifested by the an- nouncement that a coterie of theatri- cal managers and producers have ar- ranged to be present on Monday nigat When the curtain goes up. The characters of the play as they will first appear have been appor- {ioned by Mr. Weston as follows: Mrs Cortlandt Crandall, Adelaide Hibbard: James, Girard Patterson: Henry Gil- sey, J. Irving White: Edith Gilsey Dora Booth; Irving Barlow, a phys cian, plaver to be announced later: Peter Cortlandt Crandall, Alfred Cros “Katie” Murphy, Julie Herne; Adachi, Philip Sheffield. Miss Herne helped in tae selection of the principles and is of the firm be- lief that the play will not suffer from being mis-cast. She believes one could go a long way and still not get better material with which to enact the char- acters in her play than those who will make heir debut in these parts. Mrs. Hibhard has an exceptionally strong part and one in which she has man 2ood opportunities to show her versa- tility and charm in character acting. J. Irving White has also a sreat chance and as he has not vet falle ndown anything he has undertaken it may expected that he will prove up to the standard. Aside from the parts to be played by Miss Herne and Alfred Cross the aforementioned are two of t principle characters. The part as- signed to Philip Sheffield while not one of the principle parts will still give him an opportunity to display that rare histrionic ability which fast making him a popular stock actor.
