For, he. too, | had had an allnight vigil, seeking | some ruse or legal technicality that | would keep the events of the day be fore out of the records of the case He knew only too well that any jury | having seen Mary's seizure, would be | readily convinced that she might have | suffered in the same fashion on the | night when David Pollock was kilicd. and that if they were convinced of that, proving Mray's guilt was going to be the hardest struggle he had cver known. He was savage with weari- ness and doubly angry because, try as he would, he could not himself shake off the tenacious memory of that white, shrinking shoulder with its dread scars marring the flesh. In consequence the opening hours | of court were marked by a series of | bitter wrangles during which even his | honor lost his temper, and the rest- | lessness of the spectators became open | disorder. But for his acidity- of wit and skill at argument it was a losing | fight that the District Attorney waged. | He was consclous of that himself. | Therefore it came as no surprise when 1t was at last brought summarily to an end by the judge, who ordered the | testimony of the policeman as to | Mary's madness entered as evidence. With a long breath of relief Lang- don turned back toward his seat, sud- | denly becoming conscious that he was | holding a crumpled scrap of paper which the bailiff had thrust into his | hand some moments before. He re- | membered now that the court officer | had said something when he gave it | to him, but he hadn't caught the | words, and It was with entire indiffar- | ence that he opened the note and read hastily scrawled words. But at sight of them indifference gave place(o ex- citement. Crumpling the paper up in his hand, he turned sharply fo the bailiff. “Call George Brennan!" he said, there was triumph in his fone: Brennan was the same voung detective who had told disappearance of Daniels question asked him revealed what been in the note. “Mr. Brennan, I have just received message which savs that vou have found Mr, Daniels.

He hesitated quite a while before he rang the bell of his apartment, but as soon as he'd pushed ! it he got impatient and kept calling, ‘Hello!" up the speaking tube, and when someone answered he said ‘Open the door quick! Tt’s me-—your father.” When the latch clicked he went in, but he made no effort to close the door after him, so T followed. Both Mrs. Daniels and the daughter were in the doorway of the apartment to ! meet him, and while they wers kissing and hugging him I walked In.” “Did Daniels seem startled at the sight of you?"” “No.. He seemed sort of stupld as if he was sleepy, but when Mrs. Danfels told him T was a detective and that he was wanted as a witnes In the Page trfal he woke up fast enough and got very excited.
