MEDITORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, QRISQON, FRIDAY, MxlY 20, 19.10. m u- V ,r Through the Wall By CLEVELAND MOFFETT Copyright, 1905, by D. Appleton & Co. -ton aro lying, Greener," accused the Judge. "Thcrel" Ho signaled the lantern operator, and there leaped forth on the sheet tho head of Mar tluuz, tho murdered, mutilated head, with shnttered eyo and painted checks and the greenish death pallor showing underneath, a ghastly, leering cadaver photographed at tho morgue. "Who Is It?" demanded tho judge. "1 don't know," declared tho ac cused. Again the picture changed. "Who Is this?' "Queen Victoria." Dere suddenly, at the view of Eng land's peaceful sovereign, Grocncr seemed thrown Into frightful agita tion. Dp and down In mad excite ment leaped tho red column as If the frightened heart were trying to burst the .tube with Its spurting red Jet The doctor put his mouth closo to Co queull's ear and whispered, "it's the chock showing now, tho shock that ho held back after the body." "There! Do you know these faces? As he spoke there appeared the fako photograph that CoqucnII had found In Brussels-"-Alleo at tho age of twelve with tho smooth young widow. "Look at tho girl In this falso pic ture which you had cunningly mado In Brussels!" cried the Judge. " "Who la she? There Is the reason for your Vllllug Martinez!" , Now tho prisoner's pulse was run sing wild, faster and faster. "Martlnex knew tho truth." ho went on; "Martinez held your secret. How tad Martinez come upon It? Tho -whole aim of this Investigation has been to gctthe secret, and we have got itl Groener, you have written this secret for us In words of terror. We know what Martlnex knew when you took bis life; we know the story of the medal that ho wore." "1 know nothing about this man or Ids medal," flung back tho prisoner. "No? ' Then yon will bo glad to hear the story. It was a medal of solid Sold awarded Martinez by the city of Parts for conspicuous bravery in sav ing lives at the terrible charity ba zaar fire. Have yon forgotten the de tails of the chnrlty bazaar flro?" "I am not interested In the subject." answered the accused. "Ah, but you are. or you ought to be. Hundreds burned to death think of that! Cowardly men trampling wo men and children! Duchesses burned to death! Itlcb women burned to death! Think of It, Groener, and" ho signaled the operator, "and look at itr As he spoke the awful tragedy be gan In one of those extraordinary mov ing pictures that the French make after a catastrophe. Here before them leaped redder flames than ever crac kled through tho real charity bazaar: here were women and children perish ing In more savage torture than the actnal victims endured; here were hor rors piled on horrors. CoqucnII had seen this plcturo In one of the boule vard theaters, and straightway after the precious nine second clew of the word test be had sent Papa Tlgnol off for It posthaste. If tho mero words "charity bazaar" had struck this man dumb with fear, what would the thing itself do tho revolting, ghastly thing? Then suddenly tho tension snapped; the prisoner sprang to bis feet, and. tenrlug his arm from the leather Bleeve, ho faced bis tormentors des perately. "No. no. no!" ho shrieked. "You dogs! You cowards!" "Put the handcuffs on him." ordered XIautevIIle. "What does nil this prove?" the pris oner screamed In rage. "Nothing! "Nothing! You make me look at dis rupting, abomlnablo pictures, and why shouldn't my heart beat? Anybody's heart would beat If he had a heart" The judge weut on In a tone as keen and cold ns n knife: "Peforo you go to your cell. Groener, you shall hear ivhitt .we chargo ngalnBt you. Your wife perished in tho charity bazaar flro. She was a very rich woman, probably an American, who had been married before and who had a daugh ter by her previous marriage. That daughter la the girl you call Allco Her truo name is Mary. She was In the flro with her mother and was res cued by Martinez, but tho shock of seeing her mother burned to death and perhaps the shock of teeing you re fuse to save her mother" "It's a lie!" yelled tho prisoner. "All this terror and augulsh caused a violent mental disturbance In the Slrl and resulted In a failure of her memory. When she enmo out of the flro suo did not know her own name. She was helpless. And she was a great Wresst It she lived sho inherited her mother's fortuno; if she died this for tune roverted to you. So you destroy ed her identity; you gave it out that the, too, had perished in the flames, and you proceeded to enjoy her stolen fortune, while sho sold candles in Notre Dame church." "You havo no proof of ltl" "No? What is this?" and ho !g. nnled tho operator, whereupon tho lights went down and the plcturo of Alice and the widow appeared again. "Now watch tho woman, your Urus els accomplice; watch her carefully." The smooth young widow faded grad ually, while the face and form of an- otner woman took her place. "Now we have tho picture us It was before ou falsified It Do you recognize this face?" "No," answered tho prisoner, but his heart was pounding. "It is your wife. Ixwkf Under tho picture came the Inscrip tion, "To my dear husband Hcoul. with the love of Mnrgnret and her little Mary." The prisoner was seen limp and white, sprawling over a chair. "He has fnluted." said the doctor. Uniitevllle hurried to tho open window, there listening. Just below him In the courtyard he made out the flashing helmet of a mounted garde de Parts. Aud he caught some quick words that made hltu start "A messenger from the prime minis ter." muttered the Judge, "on urgent business icin me."
