IN THE ALLEY
A WITNESS room, like an ocean
liner. liegets strange friend
ships in 11s enforced inti
k maey, and also Uns this in
common with the great ships, that
those who come on deck only toward
the close of a stormy passage, find
themselves uureasonahly ostracized by
their fellow passengers who have been
daily sharing the excitement of the
voyage. Thus the three newcomers
among the witnesses In the Irin I of
Mary Page were left sitting primly on
a bench close to the door while the in
congruous but friendly group of those
who had already .testified stood near
the window.
The trio themselves were oddly con
glomerate—a burly man in what were
obviously Ids best clothes, with a col
lar a size too small and a buxom wom
an whose flushed face looked out from
under a marvelous purple bonnet. Her
hands were encased in very large
white cotton gloves and she held buck
her skirts aggressively from contact
with the short and elaborate gown o'
the over-dressed, tired-looking woman
whose face was pasty with powder
and hard with rouge.
All of the witnesses, for that matter,
from the little hell-hop to Mrs. l'age
herself, surveyed this last comer with
disapproval: and Amy declared suc
cinctly that If "Mr. I.angdon put
THAT on the witness stand—it would
be GOOD NIGHT!"
Langdon, however, greeted her with
a warmth that more than overbal
anced their chilliness, and his welcome
to the other man and woman was
equally enthusiastic. To him. the pres
ence of these three was a triumph. It
meant that he had succeeded where
the police had failed, and that he had
still another surprise to spring niton
the Jury, in this most astounding trial.
Some hint of all this crept into his
tone lending it a new. almost boyish
note. when, at the Itegiuniug of the
day's proceedings, he rose and said:
"Your Honor, and Gentlemen of the
Jury: Ever since tlie beginning of this
trial one point has remained a mys
tery. The state lias admitted its in
ability to offer evidence on this moot
ed subject, and therefore I crave the
Indulgence of the court to digress from
direct proceedings this morning, to
allow you where and how Mary Page
■pent those hours between tbe death
"That would bo good night!"
j»f James Pollock and her surrender to
the law on the following morning!"
"What!" The startled exclamation
Was wrung involuntarily from the Dis
trict Attorney as tie half rose from ills
chair, but it was drowned in tlie stir
of excitement that swept through the
!«ntire room. For this had indeed lieen
« mooted question and a decidedly
More point with the Prosecutor—the
'whereabouts of Mary during those
'hours immediately following the mur
der.
"Miss Page," continued Langdon
when the Judge's gavel had restored
order.- "did not herself know exactly
what was happening. As always fol
lows an attack of repressed psychosis,
the mind of the sufferer was like that
of a patient coming out of ether—a
flnsh of recollection and a stretch of
blank unconsciousness; therefore, it is
not until now that 1 have succeeded in
piecing together the story of tlmt night,
and I- shall call ns my flrst witness.
Kate O'Neill!"
Kate proved to lie the buxom woman
in tlie purple bonnet who gave her age
as "round about thirty-five" and Iter
occupation as "a cook, and a good one"
to the delighted amusement of the
spectators.
"Miss O'Neill." said Langdon after
the preliminary questions, "you say
you are a cook. Where were you lust
employed?"
"In the boardin'-honse of Mrs. Wat
son." she answered with a strong Hi
bernian accent. "And the very ould
dlvil of a Job It was, too!"
"That is on the same street as the
Hotel Republic, is it not?"
"Sure! and it's but two doors away,
and what wid the dancin' and tbe mu
sic goiu' ou there, and the phouygraph
at the Club back, 'tis never a quiet
moment we had the whole night
through."
"But your duties at (lie hoarding
house kept you up pretty late, anyway,
didn't they?"
"Sure an' they did then. What with
hot bread two days a week, and me
cake-bakin', 1 set up every night till
'most cock-crow."
"Now. Kate." Langdou's voice was
very friendly, almost coaxing, in fact.
"I want you to tell me if you ever went
out into (lie alley or street that ran
back of the boarding-house late at
night."
"Go on wid you!" she retorted, bri
dling. "Didn't I toll you that?"
"I know you told me. but 1 want yon
to tell tlie court. You had a friend
who was watchman for tlie block,
didn't you? Denny by nanie."
"He was not me friend, he was me
finance!" she responded with dignity.
"And some nights when it would he
cold, and I had made mysel' a sup of
hot tea or uiaylie coffee. I would take
a ijit out to Denny. It's weary work
watching houses In tlie dark."
"Of course your mistress knew noth
ing of tills?"
"Sure, and what would 1 tell that
ould snoopin' dlvil for? It weren't
none of her business!"
"On tlie night when James Pollock
was shot in the Hotel Republic, you
had been up lute, bud you not?"
"Yes. sor. I had set tlie dough for
bakin', and seelu' as liow tlie fire was
hot. I thought I'd fix up a bite for Den
ny when lie made Ills rounds."
"Will you tell us please, what you
saw when you went to the hack gate
with the— er— bite for Dennis?"
' "Well. then, it was this way. I
shlipped out and opened the gate. Just
a bit at a time, for sometimes it would
get tlie ould Nick in It ami squeak fer
all the lard we put on it. and I took a
look out fer Denny. There was a man
utandin' in the shadows so near I could
have put my hand on him. but I knows
It wasn't luy man by reason of the nnr
rer shoulders, so I stood waitin' fer
him to move on."
"Did lie seem to be watching for
anyone?"
"Yes. sor. He was starin' up at the
Hotel Republic, and I thought he was
watchiu' a man who was on the flre
escupe. Then I decided it weren't a
man I saw. but just a shudder, and
suddenly a young Indy, all dressed up
In evciiin'-clotheR, climbs out of a win
der and starts down the fire-escape and
the man says. 'Thank Gawd! She was
slow enough!' "
"Were you near enough to recognize
the young lady?"
"Not then, no sir. All I could see
was the shimmer of her dress and the
light on lier face when she passed the
winders. She was walkin' kind of
queer aud unsteady, like as though she
might have been drunk or sick, and
when she reached tbe street she just
stood there dazed. She had no coat
nor bat and she was drawln' her breath
like a bit of.a childer that's been cry
in'."
"Did the roan who was waiting speak
to her?"
"Yes. He said, 'Where in - have
.you lieen? 1 lieen waitin' a good half
hour. Anil believe me. this alley is no
cozy corner to lounge in.' But the girl
didn't answer him. She Just leaned
against a wall and mouned like. At
that he took hold of her arm and shook
it and told her not to git cold feet, that
lie had it all fixed to git away safe.
He culled her Sadie, but she didn't
seem to recognize the name and she i
wouldn't go with him. Then he took j
hold of her and dragged her along |
right past me. so near I could bare J
touched her."
Were you cloe* enough to recognise
her then?"
_________ . I
"Yes. sor."
"Was it the defendant. Mary Page?"
"It was. sor. Though she looked ter
rible sick and different, and there was
an awful lookin' bruise on lier shoulder
like somebody had hurt her bad."
"Could you see where they went?"
"Yes. sor. Sure und I slipped out the
gate and followed them a Dit to see
where they would go. But they stop
ped just beyond me on tlie alley mid
the man gives a whistle. Just three
notes, like i. might have been tlie echo
of the band at the hotel, but somebody
was listenin' for it, and I heard a win
der go up in one of tlie houses across
the way.
"At that the man sings out in a
whisper, i got Sadie down here, let it
down quick.' Then 1 saw something
cornin' down like a bit of white on the
end of a rope, and I could hear it slap,
slappin' tlie side of Hie house ns It hit."
"Could you see what It was?"
"Not then. sor. except that It was
something on the end of a rope."
"Did the man say anything that you
could hear, to the girl—Miss Page?"
"Yes. He said, 'Larry is up there.
He's all right, hut don't blub too much.
m
"Then I looks up and I says nix, hs's a
gumshoe crook."
and don't give him a peep at the shin
ers. Keep close till 1 git back. I won't
be long.' At that the girl seemed to
wake up. as if she was coinin' out of a
dream, and she clutched at his arm
and began to cry, 'James!' she says.
'James Pollock!' And the man he
laughs. 'So that's what's ealin* you, is
it.' he says. 'Well, fergit It. My Gawd,
you ain't guilty just because you was
in the hotel. They can't connect It up
with you. 1 give you my word.' 'Oh.
thank God. thank God!' she whispers,
and begins to cry harder than ever, and
the man shook lier again. 'Cut out the
water works.' he says angrily. 'i|nd get
Into this seat, unless you want the
bulls to pull you in.' "
"What did he mean by 'this seat'?
Could you see?"
"Yes, sor. The ro|ie that the man
had let down hud a sort of a swing at
the end of it. and he made the girl sit
in that, then lie whistled again and the
other man pulled her up and she disap
peared in a winder."
"What did tlie man do?"
"He waited till she was gone, then
he went on down the street and round
the corner. Thon 1 saw Denny cornin'
up the other way and I went to meet
hlm. and I found he'd been wutchin'
too. That was why I couldu't see him
when I come to the gate."
"That is all. thank you. Miss O'Neill,"
said Langdon; but tlie Judge leaned
forward with an arresting gesture.
"And having seen all this," he said
harshly, "didn't you read the papers
the next morning? Didn't you see that
n girl was missing, or connect lier in
any way with the occurrences you had
witnessed?"
"Well, I ain't sayin' but what 1 had
my suspicions." she admitted readily.
"Then why didn't you tell someone?"
"Huh!'' she retorted. "Aud let that
ould dlvil of a Mrs. Watson know 1
was meetin' Denny and maybe givin'
him a bite, and lose me job? 1 guess
not!"
"Theu why," persisted his Honor,
"have yon told now?"
"Sure, and it's me that's bein' mar
ried this week, yer Honor, aud I'm
after lavin' Mrs. Watson last Satur
day," she said amid a stifled gale of
mirth from spectators and jury alike.
Even the prosecutor smiled, waiving
his right to cross examine, for tbe mo
ment at least: and Langdon. with a
cheery aud encouraging nod towards
Mary, called the second of his three
new witnesses:
"Dennis Gallagher."
Denny, whose collar seemed to have
shrunk to even more torturing tight
ness during the interim of waiting,
took his place on the stand with a
face the hue of his fiancee's bonnet,
and cleared his throat noisily between
each sentence as if the linen baud
about his ii,vis were somehow pressing
his vocal chords.
lie was, he admitted, a private watch
man who had most of the block near
the Hotel Republic, and lie usually paid
a visit to the hack gate of tlie Watson
hoarding-house once or twice during
tlie course of his rounds.
lie verified all that the buxom cook
had already told, since lie himself had
watched proceedings from a dark cor
ner a little further along the alley, but
bis account was amplified and more
definite as to detail.
"Did you." asked I-angiloti. "know
who resided in tlu> house into which
the girl was lifted by means of the
rope swing?"
"I did. si r," he answered. "It was
Barker's, tlie gamblin' place, you know,
sor. They kep' it dark in tlie back and
in the front. Imt it was bright enough
Inside, begbrra."
"Were you watchman for tlmt build
ing?''
"No, sor. They had tlieir own man
to keep an eye out for tlie bulls, lint it
was that very night they were pulled.
Tim. Hu- policeman at tlit* corner, had
wised me up to it only an hour before.
"'Stick around. Denny.' says he.
'there II lie Dig ilniu's soon. They're
coin' to raid Barker's.' sez lie. 'and I'll
bet we pull a few big bugs, or in.v name
is nmd.'
"So I was kind of hangln* around
waitin' when I see this other fellow
posted in the alley. First off. 1 sez.
lies a plain clothes man. Then I looks
at Ids feet and I says nix. he's a gum
shoe crook, and then the girl comes
down the tire escape."
'When tlie girl had disappeared Into
Barker's, what did you do?"
"I Joined Katie and says to her. said
t. 'it's goiu' to lie a big night, and that
irl Ims jumped out >>f the fryin' pan
'it" the tire.' And begorra, sor. I'd no
more than said it. then I heard tlie sig
mil blow and saw the blueeoats march
in' up the alley and ne ross the street
at tlie end surroundin' the place.
'Good night to Barker's.' says I; and
we watched 'em hatter in the door and
march up stairs, it was then that I
fell the oilier man tiiggin' at me arm.'
"The other man?" It was more an
exclamation than a question and Den
nis nodded.
"Sure the feller that had been stand
in' soiqe place in the shadows. 'Wot
are the perliee after?' lie says all
hoarse like. 'Who are they lookin' fer
—the girl?' 'Not on your life.' says I,
'they're raidin' Barker's.' 'Barker's?'
ays lie. as if he'd never heat'd of the
place. I- I tbought the trouble was
;n the hotel. I—i—heard a shot."
'Then.' says 1. 'you've got one on me.
fer with nil these nuttyinobilcs hangln'
about, the man that kin tell a bullet
from a tire lias some ears.' 'You're
right.' says he. 'It was probably a tire.'
And he laughs; then he slunk away, as
if he didn't like the perliee even if they
weren't doin' anything but raid a gam
blin' Joint."
"Fan you describe that 111 : 111 ?"
"No. He was kind of Cattish, and
short. He looked like tlie sort of a fel
ler that hits 'em up considerable, but
I didn't take particular notice, sor."
"Did yon aud Miss O'Neill remain In
the alley after he had gone?"
"Yes, fer tin; police, had run up the
shades and we could see right Into
Barker's place. Then 1 seen the girl
again."
"Do you mean Miss Page?"
"Yes, sor; leastwise. I suppose it was
her. She was staudin' with her hands
over lier face, and one of the police
men jerks 'em down and turns to an
other one and says, says lie. Ts this
the girl?' 1 could hear plain even down
In the street, but the other bull seemed
puzzled. 'It looks like it might tie.' he
says, 'especially tlie glad rags, but Rhe
ain't got Maggie's ear marks.' Then
he grabs the girl by the arm and Rays,
'Wot's your name?' But she didn't
answer, just moans, and at that he
laughs aud says. 'Playin' dumb, eh?
Same old game. Now I'm dead sure
you are Maggie Hale that bums around
the restaurants and hooks the suckers.
Well, if you won't talk to us. you can
tell It to tlie judge.' And with Hint he
marches lier away where we couldn't
see her."
".lust a minute. Mr. Gallagher." In
terrupted l.iingdoii. "Let's return to
that fnttlsli man in the alley. Did he
come up the street with tlie police?"
"No. sor. lie whs alongside o' me by
Hint time."
"Then he came from the other end of
the street ?"
Dennis scratched his head.
"Not as I seen, sor." lie admitted.
"Would you have seen him had he
come from the corner beyond tlie Hotel
Republic?" I.nngdoii's voice was vi
brant with eager excitement and the
spirit of It swept through the court
room in a shivering whisper.
"Yes. I'd a seen nnyboily coinin' from
either end of the street. I 11 Hus could
when I stood at the gate with Katie,
fer there's a big arc light they have to
pass under and you can see them plain
-is plain."
"Oue moment." Langdon swung
about to tlie court clerk. "Read out
the testimony of Kale O'Xeill begin
ning with the question. 'Did lie seem to
i>e watching for someone?''*
" 'Question: Did lie seem to Ik- watch
ing for someone?' Answer: 'Yes. sir
fie was staring up at tlie Hotel Itepuh
lie. and I thought lie was watching a
man who was on the tire esc:i|ie. Then
1 decided it wasn't a man that I saw
bat just a shallow, aud suddenly a
. oung lady all dressed up in—' "
"That will do. thank you." interrupt
si Langdon. "Now. Mr. Gallagher, if
that was a man whom Miss O'Neill
saw on tlie fire-escape, would you have
seen him come down?"
"No, sor. I wasn't lookin' at the
hotel."
"But that is the one place lie could
have conic from when he Joined you.

LITTLE HALF WORN SHOES
God bless the little feet that never go
a stray,
For the little shoos are empty, in my
closet laid away;
Sometimes I take one in my liuiid. for
getting till I see
It is 11 little half-worn shoe, not large
enough for me;
And at once 1 feel a sense of bitter ■
loss and pain,
As sharp 11 s when two years ago it cut !
■ my heart in twain,.
Oil, little feet, that wearied not, I wait
for them no more,
For I am drifting on the tide, but they
have reached the shore,
Aud while the blinding teardrops wet
these little shoes so old,
I try to think mv darling's feet are
treading streets of gold.
Ami I lay them down again, hut al
ways turn to say,
God bless the little feet that now so
surely cannot stray.
And while I thus am standing I almost
seem to see
The little form la-side me just as it
used to be;
Dear little fare uplifted, with sweet
and tender eves;
All, me, 1 might have known that look
was horn of Paradise.
I reach my arms out fondly, hut they
grasp tlit- empty air,
There is nothing of my darling hut tlie
shoes he used wear.
Oh, the bitterness of parting can not
lie done away
Till I nieet.my darling walking where
his feet ran never stray;
When I no more am drifted upon tlie
surging tide,
But with him safely landed upon tho
river's side.
Be patient, heart, while waiting to see
the shining \vx*,
For the little feet in the golden street
ran never go astray.
