It is just as well that Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, was not present, for Dr. Breck sald many sarcastic things about that gentle- man. He said that Josephus ‘has got on the nerves of the navy and on the rerves of the Navy league,” And he propounded a gonundrum (o his hearers. “Do you know,' he asked, “what is the difference between Pomtius Pllate and Josephus Danfels?™ And when every- body had given it up he gave the answer thus: “Pontius Pllate crucified the Jews, v n and g-.,lh Danlels juicified the FOR THEFT |creve.

I-I didn’t think it mattered.” With an exclamation of exasperation [the prosecutor sat down, turning the | #mall witness over to Langdon, into whos: tired face fresh hope had now come. His voice, as he spoke to the boy, was gentle and friendly, and the snuffling lad, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand, an- #wered him eagerly. He seemed glad to find someone who didn’t frighten him, “Joe,"” sald Langdon, his voice full of kindness, “that night wasn't the first time you had seen Mr. Pollock, was it?"’ “No, sir," ssld the boy in his shrill “Hverybody knew Dave Pollock at the Republic, He came there t—him and Mr. Slade.” nd he was pretty generous in his Just tips, wasn't he?’ The question was quiet, and the district attorney, who had made a move to interrupt, sank back without speaking as the boy an- swered “Oh, so-so! He could afford to be.” “And #o, on the night when he asked you to ‘take that message to Miss Page, he gave you a good big tip, didn’t he?' “Yes,”” said the boy, beginning to whim- Per egaln. ““But I didn't do it for that. 1 didn’t think there was any harm in the megsage.

He had thought he would be a little hero after hig testimony und that he would enjoy the fleeting public- ity; but he was ashamed of the laugh he had made. The prosecutor himself was almost equally dlscomfited, for it had been his plan to bulld up stone by stone a tower- ing temple of evidence to prove that Mary Page had in cold blood plotted and carried out the murder of David Pollock, and now the boy's testimony had in a minute undermined the whole structure.
