Through the Wall

Copyright, 1905, by D. Appleton & Co.
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.
