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.

HOW GOLD. HILL
GOT ITS NAME
Famous Pockot Was Discovered In
1859 by Boy Hunting Horses He
Stumbled on Rich Pieces of Sur
face Quartz.
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
