So evident wait the prisoner's emo tion that nautcvllle turned for an ex jrfnnntlon to tho detective, who said something under his breath. "Very strange! Very lmportantl" reflected the magistrate, then to the wccuwhI, "Now I want you to put on tlio things that were In that bag." "Nor he cried hoarsely. "I won't o itl I'll never do itl" Both the judge and Coqucnll gave satisfied nods nt this sign of a break owa, but they rejoiced too soon, for by a maircloua effort of tho will the man recovered his self mastery and calm. "After all," he corrected himself, ""what docs It matter? I'll put the things on." He donned tho boots and .garments of the woodcarvcr. There!" said tho prisoner when tho tWng was done. lint the judge shook his head. "Xou've forgotten the beard and the iris. Suppose you help make up his :fcc." he said to tho detective. M. Paul fell to work zealously at tfcla task, and, using an elaborate col lection of paints, powders and brushes tfeat were in the bag, he presently had accomplished a startling change In the unresisting prisoner. He had lit erally transformed him Into the wood rver. "If you're not Grocner now," said OequenlU surveying bis work with a satisfied smile, "I'll swear you're his twin brother. It's the best disguise I vrcr saw. I'll take my hat off to you that" ExtraordInaryn murmured the 3adge. "Qroener, do you still deny that this dlsgulso belongs to your "I do." Ton haven't a young cousin known as Alice Greener?" No." During these questions the door bad opened silently at a sign from the aaagtatrate, and Alice herself bad en "tared the room. "Turn around!" ordered tho judge atarply. and as the accused obeyed he "came suddenly face to face with the .Ztrl. At tho sight of him Alice started in uprise and fear and cried out, "Oh, Cousin Adolf!" "Ana 1 talking to you with your cousin's Tolce? Pay attention tell me nun I?" asked the prisoner. Alice shook her head in perplexity. '"It's not my cousin's voice," she ad mitted. The prisoner pulled off tho beard and wlg. Now the girl retracted her origi nal Identification. "And it's not your cousin," declared the prisoner. Then he faced the judge. "Is it reasonable that I could have lived with this girl for years in so in timate a way and been wearing a dis sulso all tho time? It's absurd. She has good eyes. She would havo de tected this wig and false beard. Did 3rou ever suspect that your cousin "wore a wig or ' alse beard?" ho asked Alico. "No," she replied. "I never did."- "You see." ho triumphed to tho mag istrate, "she can't Identify mo as her cousin for tho excellent reason that Tm not her cousin. I tell you I'm not Groener." "Who aro you then?" demanded tho Judge. "'You havo no business to ask unless ;you can show that I' have committed m crime, which you haven't done yet" Hero Coqueuil whispered to the Judge. "Certainly," nodded the latter, and, turning to Alice, ho said, "You may go." Tho girl left tho room, followed by M. Paul. Coquenll soon re-entered, followed Tjy tho shrimp photographer, who was evidently much depressed. Tho shrimp turned to the prisoner and started for eword accusingly. "That is tho man," Iio cried. "That is the man who chok ed me." "Ono moment," said tho magistrate. "What is your namo?" 'Alexander Godlu," piped the pho tographer. "On tho night of July 4 you attacked a man passing along tho balcony of 'tlio Hotel des strangers? Is that cor rect?" Tho photographer put forth his thin bands, palms upward, In mild protest. To say that I attacked him Is is a saanner of speaking. Tho fact is he fee" Alexander stroked his neck rue fully. 't understand ho nearly choked you. Tho marks of his nails aro still on jour neck?" "They arc, sir." "Is this prisoner tho man?" T11 swear to it." "Good. Now stand still. Come here, Crooner. Reach out your arms as If you wero going to choke this young man. Put your left hand on bis neck, with the nails of your thumb aud lin gers exactly on theso marks. Thero is the thumb right! Now tho flrst finger good! Now tho third! And now the little finger! Ah!" Tho nails of tho prisoner's left hand corresponded exactly with tho nnll marks on the shrimp photographer's ataxic t CHAPTER XVII. Groener was subjected to a so Tero cross examination, but he asoault on tho photocraphor ami ui tnc stolen ooots of Klttrodgc. He sneered contemptuously nt Hautc vlllo and Coqucnll. The Judge finally had the guard put handcuffs on the prisoner prior to ordering him to the Santc prison. Now the accused show ed furious auger. "Mark my words, Judgo Hauteville," he threatened fiercely, "you have or dered handcuffs put on a prisoner for the last time." "What do you mean?" But almost Instantly Groener had become calm again. "Groener," demanded tho magis trate Impressively, "we aro coming to an unpleasant part of this examina tion. It is unpleasant because it forces a guilty person to betray him self and reveal more or less of the truth that he tries to hide." The prisoner looked up Incredulous ly. "You say It forces him to betray himself?" That's practically what It docs." "Whv?" "Because If you are guilty we shall know It and can go on confidently looking for certain links uow missing In the chain of evidence against you. On the other hand, If you are Inno cent we, shall know that. too. und If you are Innocent, Groener. here Is your chance to prove It. We make the ac cused register his own guilt or his ovn Innocence with his own words." "Whether ho wishes to or not?" The Judge opened a leather portfolio and selected several sheets of paper ruled In squares. Then he took out his watch. (To Bo Continued.)
