MED.1T0UD MALL T.RXBUNE, MEDIfORD, OKIMON. THURSDAY, MAY 12, 11)10. J3 ' ' " ' " ' " ' ........ .r Through the Wall By CLEVELAND MOFFETT Copyright, 1905, by D. Appleton & Co. "Docs ho know?" Tlio girl's hands closed convulsively. She stammered these singular words: "lie knows everything." "Is ho planning something?" For n moment Alice hesitated, biting her red lips. Then, with n quick lm pulse, sho lifted her dark eyes to Co cuenIL "I must tell you. I have no one else to tell, and I am so distressed, bo so afraid." She caught his hands pleadingly In hers, and he felt that they were icy cold. "lie's planning to take me away away from Paris. I overheard him Just now telling Mother Bonneton to pack my trunk. If he takes mo away I I may never come back." "See here you trust me?" asked the detective. "Oh. yes!" "You'll do exactly what I tell you?" "1 will." she declared. "Now, listen." And, speaking slow It and distinctly, the detective gave Alice precise Instructions; then he "went over them again, point by point. "Are you sure you understand?" he asked Anally. "Yes. I understand, and I will do what you tell me, but" She shook her head anxiously. "You don't know, you can't understand, what a" she stopped as If searching for a word "what a wicked man he is." "I understand a little." answered Coquenll gravely. It wa3 about 2 o'clock, and under a dazzling sun the trees and buildings of the square were outlined on the as phalt In sharp black shadows. Co quenll took out his watch and proceed ed to wind It slowly, at which a beg gar dragged himself lazily out of his cool coruer and limped across the street. "A little charity, kind gentleman," be whined as he came nearer. And a moment later Coquenll and the beggar, who was Papa Tlgnol. were talking earnestly near the door keeper's lodge. Meantime Alice, with new life In her heart, was putting on her best dress and hat, as Groener had bidden her. and presently she joined her cous in in the salon, where he sat smoking a cheap cigar and finishing his talk with Mother Bonneton. "What time Is it?' she asked Groe ner. Ho looked at his watch. "Twenty minutes to 3." "Would you mind very much if we didn't start until five or ten minutes past 3? I've been troubled about dif ferent things lately, so I spoke to Fa ther Anselui yesterday, and he said I might come to him today at a quarter to 3 for confession." "Will it make you feel happier?" "Oh, yes. much happier!" "All right" ho nodded. "I'll wait" "Thank you. I'll hurry right back. I'll be here by ten minutes past 3." lie eyed her keenly. "You needn't trouble to come back. I'll go to the church with you." There was nothing more to Bay, and a few minutes later Alice, anxious eyed, entered Notre Dame, followed by the woodcarver. "Will you wait here, cousin, by my llttlo table?" sho asked sweetly. "You seem anxious to get rid of me." ho smiled. "No, no," she protested. "I thought this chair would he moro comforta ble." "Any chair will do for me," ho said dryly. "Where is your confessional?" "On the other side." and she led the way. and presently as they came to a confessional box In the space near the sacristy Alice pointed to the name, "Father Ansel m." "Cousin Adolf," she whispered, "if you go along there back of the choir and down a little stairway you 'will come to the treasure room. It might Interest you." tie looked at her in frank amuse ment. "I'm Interested already. I'll get alotig very nicely here." The gin entered the confessional. Groener Beated himself on one of the llttlo chairs and leaned back, with a tatlsfied chuckle. Glancing up, lie saw Mntthleu polishing tho carved stalls. Ten minutes passed. Groener roso and paced buck and forth nervously. What n time the girl was taking! Then the door of the confessional box opened, and u black robed priest came out and moved solemnly away. Still Alice lingered. Groener looked at his watch again. Twenty minutes past 3! It was ridiculous. , "Alice!" ho called. There was no auswer. Groener drew aside the curtain. Tlio confessional box was empty. Alice was gone! Tho confessional box was one not In use owing to repairs In the wall be hind it. These repairs had necessi tated tho removal of several large atones, replaced temporarily by leugths of supporting timbers, be tween which n person might easily pass. Coquenll hud taken advantage of it to effect Alice's escape. Tho girl had entered tho confessional and had then slipped out through tho open wall. And tho priest was Tlgnol! "I scored on him that time," chuc kled Coquenll, rubbing away at the woodwork. "M. Mntthleu!" called Groener "Would you mind coming hero a mo ment? A most unfortuuato thing has happened. Look at that!" And he opened the door of the confessional. "She has gone run away!" Mntthleu stared in blank surprise. "Not your cousin?" Groener nodded. "Yes. my cousin has run away. It makes me sad. Will you join me In a glass at the tavern?" His companion agreed to this, and a few moments later the two men were seated under the awning of the Three Wise Men. "Now," began Groener, "I'll explain MAGNATE WAR CUTS PRICE TO CIRCUS Sclls-Floto Conies With Many New Attractions ami With Prices Cut In Two Big Road Shows at War Animal Insurance Wo Insure Horses and Cattlo Against Death From Accident, DIs cast or Flro.

Inquired Mntthleu. with sympathy. "Why. she married an American, who was the less we say about him the better. The point is, Alice Is half , American, and she is crazy about American men. That's why I had to send her to Paris tlve years ago." "You don't say!" "And now It's a man in prison. As soon ns Mother Bonneton wrote me about It I saw I'd have to take the girl away again. I told her this morn ing she must pack up her things nnd go back to Brussels with me. nnd that made the trouble. She knew 1 bad my eye on her, so sho got this priest to help her." "You mean that Father Anselm helped her to run away?" gasped Mat thlcu. "Of course he did. You saw him come out of the confessional, didn't you?"
