tW !prtf' "1j- "r'natt'r MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDPORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1910. .-. .. v Through By CLEVELAND MOFFETT Copyright, 1905, by Xho witness hml reached tho end ot her strength. Sbo vraB twlsUng and untwisting her white Angers plteously, wlillo tho pupils of her eyes widened and contracted In terror. Sho Btagger cd a If she would faint or fall, and the guard was starting toward her whftt, through the anguished silence, a clear, confident volco rang eut: "Alice r It was tho prisoner who had spoken. It was the lover who had conio to tho rescue and whoso loyal cry broke tho spell of horror. Instantly the girl turned to Lloyd with a look of Infinite love and gratitude, and before the out raged clerk of the court had finished his warning to tho young American Alice had conquered her distress. "Tell us iu your own words." said tho judge kindly, "how it was that you nearly lost your life a second time in a fire'." In a low voice, but steadily. Alice began her story. She spoke briefly of her humble life with tho Bounetons, of her work at Notre Dame, of tho oc casional visits of her supposed cousin. . the woodearver, and finally described tho moment when she was thrust into that cruel chamber and left there with M. Coquenll to perish. Women screamed and fainted, men broke down and wept, even the Judges wiped pitying eyes, as Alice told how Paul Coquenll built the last barricade with (ire roaring all about him and then how he dashed among leaping flame? and. barehanded, all but naked, cleared a way to safety. Through the tense silence that fol lowed her recital came tho Judge's Tolce, "And you accuse a certain per son of committing this crime'" "I do." sbo answered firmly. "Whom do you accuse?" The audience literally held its breath as the girl paused before replying. She turned slowly toward the cower ing nobleman and said distinctly, "I accuse the Baron de Heidclmann Brack." All eyes turned to the accused. He struggled to speak, but the words choked his throat If ever a great man was guilty in appearance the Baron de Heldelmann-Bruck was that guilty great man! "I insist on saying," he burst out Anally, but the judge cut him short. "You will bo beard presently, sir. Call tho next witness." The girl withdrew, casting' n last fond look at her lover, and the clerk'8 volco was heard summoning If. Pou geot. Tho commissary appeared forthwith and. with all the authority of his of fice, testified In confirmation of Alice's story. There was no possible doubt that tho girl would have perished in the flames but for the heroism of Paul Coquenll. Pougeot was followed by Dr. Du prat, who gave evidence as to the re turn of Alice's memory. "Call tho next witness," directed the Judge, and the clerk sang eut: "Paul Coquenll!" CHAPTER XXIII. JIBS. LLOYD KITTnEDQE. Ajauiuiuu ui Bjiujiaiuj uuu sur prise ran through the room as the small door opened, Just tin ' der the painting of "Justice." and a gaunt, pallid figure appeared, a tall man, wasted and weakened. .He came forward leaning on a cane, and bis right band was bandaged. The audience was Uko a powder mine waiting for a spark. "What Is your name?" asked tho judge as the witness took the stand. "Paul Coquenll." was the quiet an swer. It was the needed word, the spark to fire the train. Paul Coquenll! Nev er In modern times bad a Paris court room witnessed a scene like that which followed. A Coquenll spoke there went up a great cry from the audience, an Irre sistible tribute to bis splendid bravery It was spontaneous; It was hysterical: it was tremendous. Men and women sprung to their feet, shouting and wav ing and weeping. The crowd, crushed In tho corridor, caught the cry and passed it along. ."Coquenll! Coquenii!" Then down in the courtyard it sound ed, and out Into the street, where a group of students started the old snap py refrain: Oh, oh! II nous Xaut-o! Beau, beau I Beau Cocono-o! When at length the tumult was still ed and tho panting, sobbing audience had tettled back in their seuts, tho pre siding Judgo, lenient at heart to tho disorder, proceeded gravely with bis examination. "Please state what you know about this case," ho said, and again tho au dience waited In deathllko stillness. "There is no need of many words," answered M. Paul. Then, pointing an accusing arm at Do Heldelmann-Bruck, "I know that this man shot Enrico Martinez on tho night of July 4 at the Ansonla hotel." The nobleman sat rigid on his chair; tho Judgo went on with his questions. "You say you know this?" ho de manded sharply, "I know Jt," declared Coquenll, "I havo nbsoluto proof of it here." no drow from his inner coat tho baron's diary uud handed it to tho judgo. 'liYUajys thlsl" askedtho lattery the Wall D. Appleton & Co. "I I WON THE IJA8T TIUCK AJfTnOW." "Hfs own confession; written b"y him self." The Judge turned gravely to De Heldelmann-Bruck. "I have a painful duty to perform, sir. Take this man out, under arrest, and clear tho room." "Astounding!" muttered the Judge. "A great achievement, M. Coquelln." At this moment an awestruck at tendant came to say that tho baron wished a word with M. Paul. "By all means," consented tho Judge. Haltingly, on bis cane, Coquenii made made his way to an adjoining room. As he glanced at the baron, M. Paul saw that once more the man bad demonstrated his extraordinary self control. He was cold and composed as usual. (To Be Continued.)

All that remains to mark tho placo .of ono of tho richest pockot discov eries of gold over mado on tho Pa cific coast Is a shallow depression, about 25 feet in diameter, near tho summit and on tho north slopo of "Gold Hill." a mountain Just across Roguo river east of tho Utj" of Gold IIIIU. This famous pocket yielded au . enormous amount of tho precious metal within a fow months nftor its discovery. An nccurato record of the gold tnken out was not kept, and Is known only by conjecture but ol.l tlmers say that It must Vnvo been 'several hundred thousand dollars, sonic placing it as high as half a mil lion. One of the orlgtn.il owners of I the pocket lives at Trail In tl o person 'of John X. Miller, a votor.m of tho early Indian wars. Tho follorlng ac count of tho ulscovery ot tho great pocket Is taken from tho first Issue of tho Gold Hill Miner, a pr.por print ed by T. K. Roberts nnd dated May 3, 1S95: "In Februar , 1S59, n youth, while I engaged In hunting for horses for the lato Thomas Chr.vner, picked up r. (piece of quartz from tho Gold Hill pocket, which upon examlt ntlon prov- jed to be wired together with gold, 'in casting rbout every pleco proved i to be rich. The youth proceeded to , Chavner's and mado known to him his ifind. j "Chavner's qi Ick eye and his ready, i practical horse sense suggested to him i to rsake a dicker with t o youth. A ibarfln was sotn mado, and Thomas , Chavner was ono of tho principal .owners In what proved to bo ono of itho richest pocket possessions on thej -clflc coast "Notwithstanding Chavner's clr-l cumspectloa and scc-etlveress, tho news reached Jacksonville during tho night or evening of tho discovery. The next morning tho road between Jacksonville and Gold Hill was lined with excited prospectors. Among tho number was George Ish, who in pass ing Willow Springs, where at that time old Undo Dan Fisher was car rying on a blacksmith shop, made known to Fisher tho discovery of tho evening before. Fisher briefly relat ed to Ish li's discovery of a quartz ledge one evening In 1852 and direct ed Ish Just where to find It. Ish pro ceeded as directed and found the ledge as Fisher had described It. Al though Ish had promised In caso the discovery was as Uncle Fisher had pointed out that ho, Fisher, should have an Interest In tho fl?d, ho did not, however, keep his word with tho old man. "At this time Jacksonville was tho metropolis of southern Oregon, and was one of tho most prosperous min ing towns on tho Pacific coast. "Gold Hill was a great producer. Nearly a half million of dollars woro taken from tho mine in a few months. Parlies aro operating on a lower level at pr'ect, and ono of theso bright mornings tho Intelligence will flash over tho wires that Gold Hill is paying richer than ever." Gold Hill News.
