"MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 2D, 1910. Through the Wall By CLEVELAND MOFFETT fiMAKES STUDY OF ENGLISH S Copyright, 1905, by D. Appleton & Co. "Well," sho went on quite- cnnrrulnR ly, "I have done some foolish things In my life, but this Is the most fool ish. I did give Martinez the flvo pound notes. You see, ho was to play a mat' h this week with a Russian, and ho offered to lay the money for me." "Uut the dinner the private room?" Sho shrugged her shoulders. "I went there for a perfectly proper reason. I seeded some ono to help me, and I 1 couldn't ask a man who knew me. o"- "Tacn Martlncs didn't know yout" "Of course not. He was foolish enough to think himself In lore with Be, and well, I found It convenient tnd amusing to utilize him." "For whatr Mrs. Wllmott bit her red Hps and then, with some dignity, replied that Sho did not sec what bearing her pur pose had on the enso since it had not been accomplished. "Why wasn't It accomplished!' ho asked. .l "Because the man was shot" "Who shot hlmr "I don't know." "But you were present In the room? You heard the shot! You saw Mar tinez falir "Yes. but" Now her agitation In creased. No one had entered the room except herself and Martinez and the waiter who served them, she Insisted. Martinez was standing near her when when the shot was fired, and he fell so the door. That was all. CoquenU smiled Indulgently. -What tld you do with the auger" he asked. "The auger?" she gasped. "Yes; it was seen by the cab driver you took when you slipped out of tho hotel In the telephone girl's raincoat." "Yes," she answered weakly. "And you threw It Into the Seine as you crossed the Concorde bridge?" She stared at him In genuine admira tion. "My God, you're the cleverest soan I ever met!" M. Paul smiled. "I can return the compliment by saying that It Isn't ev ery lady who could throw a clumsy thing like an anger from a moving cab ever a wide roadway and a stone wall and land It In a river. I suppose you threw It over on the right hand rtder "Yes." "Dow far across the bridge had you pt when you threw It? This may kelp the divers." "We were a little mere than halfway across." "Who bought thin auger?" "Martinez." "Did you suggest the holes through the wall?" "He did." "But tho holes were bored for you becauso you wanted to see into the Best room?" "Yes," In a low tone. 1 "And why?" She burst out In a flash of feeling. ""Because I knew that a wretched danc ing girl was going to be there with" "Yes?" eagerly. "With my husbandl" "Then your husband was the person you thought guilty that night?" ques tioned Coquenll. "Yes." "You told M. Kittredgo when yon called for him In tho cab that you thought your husband guilty?" "Yes. but afterward I changed my Blind. My husband had nothing to do with it If he had, do you suppose Z would have told you this? Xo doubt ke has misconducted himself, but" "You mean Anita?" It was a chance shot, but It went true. Hho stared at blm in amazement "I believe you aro the devil," she said, and the detective, recalling his talk with M. Grltz, muttered to himself, "The tall blondl Of course!" And now Pussy, feeling that she could gain nothing against Coquenll by ruso or deceit, took refuge in sim ple truth and told quite charmingly how this wholo tragic adventuro bad grown out of a foolish fit of Jealousy. "You see, I found a petit bleu on tny husband's dressing table one morn ing I wish to heaven bo would bo more careful and I I read It It began Mon gros bene,' and was sign ed Ta petite Anita,' and naturally I was furious. I have often been jeal ous of Addison, but ho has always managed to provp that I was in the wrong and that ho was a perfect saint bo now I determined to seo for my self. It was a splendid chance, as tho exact rendezvous was given 0 o'clock Saturday evening, In private room No. 7 at the Ansonla. I couldn't go alone, so I got this man Martinez bo was a perfect fool I got him to take mo because, as I told you, ho didn't know me and, being such a fool, ho would 4o whatever I wished." "What day was It you found tho petit bleu?" put in Coquenll. "It was Thursday, I saw Martinez that afternoon." "And you are sure it was his scheme to boro tho holes?" "Yes; ho said that would bo an musing way of watching Addison Without making a scandal. It was the first clever Idea I ever knew him to have." "Did you look through the holes at all?" he asked. "No; I hadn't time." "Did 'Martinez look through the first hole" after It was-do rear "Yes, but he couldn't see anything, as No. 7 was dark." "Then you have absolutely no Idea who fired tho shot?" "Absolutely none." "Except that you think It wasn't your husband?" "I know It wasn't my husband." "How do you know that?" "Because I asked him. Ah, you need not smile. I made him give me proof. When I got homo that night 1 had a horrible feeling that Addison must havo done It. So I waited until he came home. I could hear him moving about in his room. I went in and ask ed him where he had been. He began to lie in the usual way. And then I told him a murder had been committed at the Ansonla in private room No. 7. I wish you could have seen his face. Ho never said a word. He Just stared at me. Well, It was tho longest time before I could get anything out of him. Then he explained what had happen ed. He had started for the Ansonla with this woman, but she had changed her mind in the cab, and they had gone to the Cafe do Tarls Instead and spent the evening there. I said: 'Addison, put your things right on. We're golne to the Cafe de Paris to settle this busi ness.' The waiters hadn't gone, and they all swore black and blue that Ad dison told the truth." "H'raS" reflected Coquenll. "1 won der why Anita changed her mind?" "I'm not responsible for Anita." an- iwerod Pussy, with a dignified whisk of her shoulders. "You know a great dial about this young man who is In prison," be sug gested. "I know he is innocent" "I hope you can prove It" "Of course I can prove it" she de clared. "M. -Klttredge, an old friend, was arrested becauso be catted for my things, but I asked him to do that If a absurd r (T6 Be Continued.) Chicago Professor Visits Schools Through Great Britain and Is In deed Favorably Impressed by Them. RAISIN DAY, APIUIi SO, 1010. The above date has been set apart as an annual event by the people of California, in which all are asked to join by eating raisins in tho form ot "Raisin Broad" or In any form that may be desired. The object of this special day Is to create a widespread raisin sentiment that will result in a greater demand for that fruit, and to direct the attention of all sod house wives to the excellence ot tho raisin as an article of food. Tho good people of tho northwest are invited by their neighbors to participate in the pleas ant custom and "break" raisin broad on April 30th. w LONDON, April 28. Professor 0. Y. Myers of tho chnir of mnthomnt- h8 in tho department of education nt tho University of Chicago, has bocn studvinc English schools nnd is very favorably impressed with them. Of the free, or so-onllou board schools, ho does, indeed, spenk highly. Their drawback is, however, that tho social stigma attached to attending them is ?o serious that Barents who can I n n .... n n ct.itltttt ftl (WA OVltipU Up Villi CHiUMI,, weekly to pay for their children's at tendance nt privnto institutions will have nothing to do with them. I "Coming to London," says Pro fessor Myers, "I found no great dif ficulty in getting into privnto schools on'tho outlying districts, hut was evi dently not wanted, though I had tho backing of tho local board of educa tion nnd tho London county council nt these in tho heart of tho city. A number of school teachers havo told mo that these schools have not ad vanced in thirty years. This mny explain why they want no visitors. I cannot but suspect thnt n school which will not permit inspection must need it sadly. "The English schools aro divided into three clnsses the free or bonrd schools, which havo government sup port and are subject to government inspection; tho schools which aro not quite strong enough to stand alone, therefore permit occasional inspec tion nnd government representation on their boards, and schools which run independently of thjnuthorities. "T have hrd every opportunity to exnmino into the frco schools meth ods and cannot spenk too highly of them. They excel, and especially in 1 1 11 T 1 , i i me uiimer oi inuiviuuiu instruction, considering the personal needs and limitations of the pupils and includ ing only 25 or less in a class, instead of 50 or GO, as in America. As the children generally leave their studies at 14, the teachers also wisely give them the kind of instruction likely to benefit them on entering the working world." Hasklns for Health.
