"Who?”
Cocoleu hesitated, and hix feature be
trayed a fearful anguish of mind Final

“Hois** Hois Bolacoran." The name was
received with murmur* of indignation
“Do vou know, my bov. what you say?”
asked M Galpin sternly.
”1 ain telling the truth,” stammered
Oocoleu.
"How was he dressed?” asked the
magistrate.
"He had light trousers on. dark brown
shooting jacket and a big straw* hat. His
trousers were stuffed in his boots.”
“What did he do afte* lie had kindled
the? fire?” went on M. Galpin.
“He hid behind the woodpile,- loaded
his gun and, when master came out shot
him.” 4
“Will you have the kindness,” said the
magistrate to the count, “to give me the
nature of your relations with M. tie
Boiscoran?”
“My acquaintance with M. de Brisco
ran is neither good nor bad. I never
leave Valpinson—and he spends nine
months of the year in Paris. He never
calls at my house—and I have never been
in his. M. de Boiscoran is an honoabLe
man."
“You have had no trouble with him?”
“None of importance. There is an un
lucky brook between our estates which
has been the *ause of constant trouble.”
/Toil have had altercations together?”
"Yes. Al. de Boiscoran has tlvo wretch
ed dbgs who were constantly breaking
into my estate. One day I met him and
warned him that I would shoot his dogs
if they did not stop destroying my gan.*?.
We were both excited.”
“You were both armed and threaten
ed each other?”
“Yes, i believe so—but it amounted to
nothing."
And now' other witnesses began to be
brought in for examination by Al. Galpin.
Ihe first was the son of a well-to-do
farmer of Brechy who testified that the
night before at about eight o’clock, he
had been passing through the swamps
behind the Chateau Valpinson when he
! encountered AL de Boiscoran. "He had
bis gun with him—and as he waded
through the swamp he tucked his trous
ers into the top of his boots. He said he
was going to Brechy and was shooting
water fowl,” said the boy. Then he de
scribed the dress of Boiscoran exactly
as Cocolen h/d described it.
The next witness was an old man of
had fepu t^tion—called Father Gaudry.
tie testified that, as he was going along
through one of the little paths in the
forest of Kochepommier, at eleven o’clock
the previous night he heard footsteps
coming and hid in a thicket. As he lay
hidden he saw M de Boisconran come
by. He described him as to dress as had
the other witnesses a'nd said that he hid
Itis gun with him and asemed to h' in
a towering rage, as he talked to him
self and tore off little twigs and threw
them about as he passed.
The third witness was-an old woman,
Madame t ourteis, whose little farm lav
on the further side of the forest of Roche
pommier. Shawas coming home from the
miller s with a sack of flour at about
ten o’clock the previous night, when, just
at the edge of the forest. her ass
stumbled and the sack fell off She saw
a man come out of the wood close by
and called to him. He came and helped
her put the sack back upon the ass.
It was M. de Boisconran. She thankfd
turn and they parted.
The magistrate dismissed the Witnesses
and sent away the peasant and summed
up the case as follow». “M. de Boiscon

TORMENT ME WITH WILD
JEALOUSY.
“Getting after Certeis and his whole
Bolshevik gang suits me, ma'am, and if
it’s your idea. I’ll go to it this after
noon,” Tommy announced and he seemed
as relieved as I was to omit further per
sonalities. And so he departed to re
port my discoveries and suspicions to the
proper authorities. And I was left alone
to mediate upon Bob and Ids mental
condition and what had caused it.
Of course Daddy Loriiner would put
Dr. Certeis in charge of Bob's case as
soon as he could obtain Bob’s discharge
from the army. They were such great
friends —and Certefe made brain diseases
his specialty. But in the event that he
handled Bob's case, ray husband. I was
sure, never would regain his sanity!
By just so much as Certeis loved me.
he hated Bob; as long as Gerteis clung to
arty hope of possessing me, he would try
to destroy Bob; what Certeis had plan
ned for Kloise, his enemy, would happen
to Bob—he would he interned, eventual
ly, in a private asylum—without hope of
a cure!
But my chance to crush him had cotrfe.
I relied upon the success of Tommy's
mission to end forever my dream of hor
ror. However, the secret service men
might delay the arresk of Certeis; if so,
how could I save my husband from him?
I walked the hotel parlors restlessly,
knowing that it was very foolish for me
to try to make plans until I should have
heard from Tommy.
It was equally foolish for rne to brood
over the girl-acquaintance Bob met
in I’aris and to wonder what had happen
ed while Bob was there. It was pure
nervous waste, but I couldn't help it.
Jealousy is the one thing I never can
cast aside. I suppose fate holds me to
the universal sin of my sex.
In telling me about Bob's new symp

called the girl “Miss Manning." But
Tommy had mistaken the name, I felt
sure—in my jealous mood. Only ono
woman in the world, except the Lori
mers, km w that Bub had forgotten his
marriage. That was the girl who had
nursed Vim in the foreign hospital. Kath
erine* Miller had been in the shell-shock
wjard—and Katherine Miller was the girl
who had gone to Europe when she heard
of Bob’s engagement lo me!
Katherine Miller had always had every
thing she wanted, all oi‘ her life, except
ing Air. Robert Atwood Lorimer. L>oubt
less it was sheer jealously of me which
had made her fling my name so reck
lessly into the conversation with Bob
that day in Paris. And with what tragic
results to her. own ambitions!
I had not thought of Katherine Miller
for months and months, but as so often
happens, once her name took hold of ir,e,
I came upon it everywhere. Wlpm I
opened a newspaper, as I waited for
Tommy, there was a story of .what ,h •
rich, young and beautiful society girl,
Katherine Aliller, had done for our sol
diers abroad!
It was a New York interview. Afisn
Aliller had just landed, she was on her
way home and like many another ricli
girl who had undertaken war work.
Miss Miller was unwilling to return to
