6 MEDffORP MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 39X0. Through the Wall By CLEVELAND MOFFETT Copyright, 1905, by D. Apploton & Co. IA FOURTH "Were TClttrctlgo and Martinez good frlctidar -Oh. yes." "Never had any quarrel?" 'Wuy er no," she replied in some confusion. M don't vrant to distress you, made- Rioiselle," said Coquenll gravely, "but aren't you keeping something back?" "No, no," she Insisted. "1 Just thought of of n little thing that made BXf nhappy, but it has nothing to do Trttn tnw case, you believe me, uon you?" "Of course I believe you," Re smiled. "Now I am going to give yon somo of this tea. I'm afraid it's getting cold. Now we'll BCttie"dqwn comfortably. and you can tell mo what brought you acre tell me all about It" So Alice began and told him about the mysterious lady. "This" Is very important," ho eald gravely. "What a pity you couldn ret her namcl" He reflected that for the second time this woman bad ca ts pot 1 him. "Does she speak with an accent?" ae asked. "She speaks fluently, like a foreigner who has lived n long timo In Paris, Itat she has a slight accent." "Ahl Now give mo her messago again. Aro you sure you remember It exactly?" "Quite sure. Besides, she made me write It down so as not to miss word. Here "It is," and, producing the torn page, she read: Tell M. Klttrcdgo that the lady who called for him In the carriage knows now that the per son she thought guilty last night is sot guilty. She knows this absolute ly, so sbo will be able to appear and testify In favor of M. Kittrcdge if it becomes necessary. But she hopes it TWtll not be necessary. Sho begs M Klttredge to use this, money for a good lawyer." "She didn't say who this person Is that she thought guilty last night?" "No." "Did she say why she thought him fcallty or what changed her mind? Did she drop any hint? Try to re- asember." Alice shook her head negatively, "What can we do?" murmured Alice, twining her fingers piteously.. "We must get at the truth; wo must JSnd this woman who came to see joxu One quickest way to do that Is through Xlttredgo himself. He knows all about feer. It we can make him speak. So tar be has refused to say a word, but Mere Is one person who ought to un seal his Hps that is the girl he loves." "Oh, yes," exclaimed Alice, her face lighting with new hope, "I think -could, I am sure I could, only will they let me see htm?" "That k the point It is against &e prison rale for a person au secret to see any ono except his lawyer, but l know the director of the Sante prls eu, and I think" Alice shivered at the word. "Yes," ho murmured, "and what were you aaylngi" "I say that I know the director of the Sante, and I think, if I send you to him with a strong note, ho will saake an exception I think so." Coquenll sat down and quickly ad- tressed an urgent appeal to M. Dedet director of the Sante, asking him to grant the bearer a request and assur lag him that by so doing ho would confer upon Paul Coquenll a deeply appreciated favor. "There," he said, handing her the Bote. "Now listen. You aro to find ut certain things from your lover. can't tell you how to find them out that Is your affair but you must do It Ton must And them out even if be doesn't wish to tell you. Ills safety and your happiness may depend on It lou now write down what I must know. Then I want to know about the lady's husband. Is ho dark or fair, tall or short? Does Klttredge know him? nas ho ever had words with him or any trouble? Got that?" "Yes." "Then do you know whether M. Klttrcdgo plays tennis?" Allco looked up in surprise. "Why, yes, he does. I remember heating him say be likes It better than golf." "Ahl Now I want to know if M. Kit trcdge uses both bands in playing ten sis or only the ono hand. And I want to know which band be uses chiefly that is, the right or the left 7" ."Why do you want to know that?" in quired Alice, ,wltb a woman's curiosity. "Nover mind why; Just remember Ifa important Another thing Is to aak AI. Klttredge about a chest of drawers In his room at tbo Hotel des Strangers. It Is a piece of old oak, rather worm eaten, but it has good bronzes for the drawer handles, two fega fighting on either side -of tlio lock plates." Alice listened in astonishment "I didn't Bupposo you knew whero M. Klttredge lived." "Nor did I until this morning," he nailed. "SInco then I well, as my friend GIbellu says, I haven't wasted my time." "Your friend Gibclin?" repeated Al ice, not understanding. Coquenll. smiled grimly. "Ho is an amiable person for whom I am prepar ing a a little surprise." "Oal And what about the chest of draw, em?" "It's about ono particular drawer, the small upper ono on tho right hand side. Better write that down." "The small upper drawer on the right hand side," repented Alice. "I And that M. Klttredge always kept this drawer locked. Ho seems to bo a methodical person,'and I want to know If he remembers opening it a few days ago and finding it unlocked. Havo you got that?" "Yes." "Goodl Oh. one thing more. Find out If M. Klttredge ever suffers from rheumatism or gout" The girl smiled. "Of course he does not. He Is only twenty-eight." Tlease do not take this lightly, mademoiselle," tho detective chldcd gently. "It is perhaps the most im portant point of nil. His release from prison may depend oh it" It was after G when Alice .left the circular railway at tho Montrouge sta tion. She came to nn open place where she recognized Bartholin's famous Bel fort Hon. Then she knew her way, and. hurrying along the Boulevard Arago, she came presently to the gloomy mass of the' Sante prison, which, with Its diverging wings and galleries, spreads out like n great gray spider in the triangular space between the Hue Humboldt, the Kuc de la Sante and the Boulevard Arago. No sooner had the guard heard that she came with a note from M. Paul Coquenll than he showed her politely to a small waiting room, A door open ed, and a hard faced, low browed man CIIYWRLD?
