Mil" exclaimed Ilnutcvllle. "It Is
. .1.. flint 1-1111 tnrtlnnr"
also the pistol that killed Martinez.1
"Now," contluued the Judge, "you
pny you havo Jiorcr been In the tdlcy
way that wo showed you fit the Anso
Mia. Look nt these boots. Do you rec
ognize them?"
In opposition to tho ndvlco of Ills
counsel Kittredge now admitted the
ownership of the boots that had made
the accusing footprints, but he denied
to Uautevllle thnt ho had ever quar
reled with Martinez. At this Ilnute
Tllle produced the letter Klttredgo had
written Mrs. Wlltuott regarding Marti
nez. There was a quarrel, and you did
threaten hlra?"
"l ndviso my client not to nnswer
that question," Interposed the lawyer,
and the American was silent.
"As you please." said Hnutevllle, and
bo went on grimly: "Kittredge, you
bnvo so far refused to speak of tho
lady to whom you wrote this letter. ,
Bho was your mistress. Do you deny
that?"
""Yes," cried tho American.
"Ah!" shrugged tho Judge, and, turn
ing to his secretary, "Ask the lady to
come In."
Then In a moment of sickening mis
ery Kittredge saw the door open and
a black figure enter with an ashen
white face and frightened eyes. It
was Tussy Wllmott treading the hard
way of the transgressor, with her halr
done most becomingly and breathing a
delicate violet fragrance.
Take" him Into the outer room." di
rected tho Judge, "until I ring."
little by little he dragged from her
the story of her relations with Kit
tredge. going back to their first ac
quaintance. This was In New York
about n year before. Mr. Wllmott bad
not accompanied her on this trip, and.
being much alone, as' most of her
friends were In tho country, she had
seen a good deal of M. Kittredge.
Bho had met him through mutual
friends, for ho wns well connected so
cially In New York, and had soon
grown fond of him. Before she real
ized It be was seriously infatuated,
and tho end of It was when she re
turned to Paris bo followed her on
another steamer, an extremely foolish
proceeding, as It Involved bis giving
up a fine position and getting into
trouble with bis family.
"Did ho ever give you presents?"
"Yc-cs. He gave mo a gold bag that
I happened to admire one day at Tif
fany's." Pussy (lushed under the
Judge's searching look. "I wouldn't
havo accepted it but this happened
lust as I was sailing for France. He
cent it to tho steamer."
"Ah! Have you any Idea how mncb
M. Kittredge paid for that gold bag7
"Yes, for I asked at Tiffany's here,
and they said tho bag cost about $400."
Tho Judge said impressively, "Mad
am, you may be surprised to hear
that M. Klttredgo returned to France
on the same, steamer that carried you
"No. no," she declared. "I saw all
tb s passengers, and he was not among
them."
"Ho was not among tho first cabin
passengcra."
"You mean to say he went in tho
second cabin? I don't believe It"
"No," answered Hnutevllle, with a
trim smile, "be didn't go in tho second
cabin; bo went In tho steerage!"
"In tho steerage!" sho murmured,
aghast
"And during the flvo or six months
here in Paris while he was dancing at
tendance on you he was practically
without resources."
"I know better," sho Insisted. "He
took me out all tho time and spent
money freely."
The Judge Bbook his head. "Ho
Bpent on you what be got by pawning
bis Jewelry, by gambling and some
times by not eating. We have tho
facts."
"Mon DIcu!" sho shuddered. "And
1 never knew It! I never suspected
It!"
"This is to make quite clear that be
loved you as very few women have
been loved. Now I want to know
why. you quarreled with him six
months ago?"
"I don't know. Really I don't
know," she insisted, with a weary
gesture.
"Then I must do what I can to make
you know." ho replied Impatiently,
and, reaching forward, bo pressed the
electric bell.
"Bring back tho prisoner," ho or
dered as tho guard appeared, and a
moment later Klttredgo was again in
bis place.
"Now," began nautevllle, address
ing both Lloyd and Mrs. Wllmott "I
como to an important point I havo
kero a packet of letters written by
you, Kittredge, to this lady. You have
already identified tho handwriting as
your own, and you, madam, will not
deny that these letters wero addressed
to you. You admit that, do you not?"
"Yes," answered Pussy weakly.
Tho Judge turned over tho letters
and selected one, from which ho read
an admiring pussage.
Ue took out his watch and laid It on
the desk before him. "Madam, I will
glvo you five minutes. Unless you ad
mit within that timo what is perfectly
evide.ut namely, that you wero fond j
9t this toon I shall continue the .read-
the Wall
D. Appleton & Co.
ins of .these letters before your uus-
band.
"You're taking n cowardly advantage
of n woman:' she burst out
"No." answered Uautevllle sternly:
"1 nui Investigating n cowardly mur
der." lie glanced nt his wntch. "Four
minutes!"
Then to Kittredge. "And unless you
admit this thing I shall summon tho
girl from Notre Dame and let her say
what she thinks of this correspond
ence." Lloyd staggered under the blow.
"Two minutes!" said Uautevllle cold
ly. Then he turned to Mrs. Wllmott.
"Your husband Is now at his club.
One of our men Is Uiero also, awalt-
ing my orders. He will get them by
telephone and will bring your husband
1 here In a swift automobile. You havo
'one minute left." Now his Arm finger
! advanced toward the white button,
' Then sho yielded. "Stop!" came her
low cry. "I did love him!"
That is better," said tho Judge.
And tho scratching of the groillcr's
pen recorded unalterably Mrs. Wll
mott's avowal.
"I don't suppose you will contradict
tho lady," said nautevllle, turning to
Kittredge. "I take your silence as con
sent and. after all, tho lady's confes
sion is sufficient You wero in love
with her. And the evidence shows that
you committed, a crime based on pas
sionate jealousy and hatred of a rival.
We have the motive for the murder
and the evidence that you committed
tho murder. What have you to say for
yourself?"
"I threatened to punch his head.
That is very different from killing
him."
"And the pistol? And tho foot
prints?' "I don't know: I can't explain it, but
I know I nm innocent You say I had
a motive for this crime. You're mis
taken! i bad no motive."
"Didn't you follow her to Europe in
the steerage because of your Infatua
tion? Didn't you bear sufferings and
privations To be near her? Shall I go
over the details of what you did, aa I
have them here, in order to refresh
your memory?"
"No," said Kittredge hoarsely, and
his eyo was beginning to flame. "My
memory needs no refreshing. I am
fighting for my life, and now that she
has admitted this thing," ho eyed the
woman scornfully. "I nm freo to tell
tho truth all of It"
"That Is what wo want" said Haute
ville. v
"I thought I loved her with a fine,
true love, but she showed me it was
only a base imitation. I offered ber
my life, my future, and she would
have taken them and broken them
and scattered them In my face and
and laughed at me. I well, never
mind, but you can bet all your pretty
French philosophy I didn't go about
Paris looking for billiard players to
Vlll on her account"
