CHAPTER VI.
The Narae's Story.
"1-1 felt that 1 ought to know what
he looked like that 1 might make no
mistake, so I went down tno hall towards
the reception room. As I reached the
door, however, it was opened and Mr.
Pollock stepped out. At sight of me he
paused, then asked me If I was Miss
Page's nurse. I said 1 was, and he
motioned me to come Into the reception
room with him."
She was speaking slowly, as one who
must choose her words with extreme
care, lest she be misinterpreted. The law
would not let her explain the thoughts
and Impulses that had inspired her
seemingly Inexplicable conduct. Langdon
had told her that, and so she must, she
felt, tell with a caution that was un
natural of the events of that long-ago
day.
"When we were in the reception room,
Mr. Pollock told me that he wns the
flnant.!e of Miss Page, and that Mr.
Langdon was taking advantage of Miss
Page's nervous condition to influence her
against him. He told me that that he
would make it well worth my while to
help him remove her to another sana
torium which had been selected by her
mother, and polned out the fact that
Mrs. Page had not come with her
daughter as indicating dissatisfaction
with Dr. Foster's hospital."
"Did you agree to help him?"
A hot flush dyed her cheeks, and her
fingers nervously fumbled her gloves
as she answered softly.
"Yes."
"What Instructions did he give you?"
"He he told me to give Miss Page a
sleeping draught that night, and said
that when the hospital was quiet he
would have his automobile outside and
If I would let htm In, he would carry
Miss Page to it, and take her to the
other sanatorium. He also asked me It
I would take the case,' as a private
nurse, and when I said yes, he wrote
the name down on- a piece of pa
per for me."
"Do you mean," Interrupted the Judge,
"that you were ready to throw up your
position with Dr. Foster, and allow one
of his patients to be stolen from his
sanatorium without ' investigating the
truth of the man's statements?"
You mean about Mr. Langdon?" she
stammered. "Oh 1 I knew that was not
true. I I agreed because of of a ccr- I
tain plan I had in mind."
His honor sat back with the shrug of
one who dismisses the possibility of un
derstanding the other sex, as Longdon
asked:' -
"Did Mr. Pollock Ueave Immediately
after giving you the address of he.new
sanatorium?" , "
No. He heard Dr. Foster and Mr.
Langdon speaking and slipped through
one of the French windows and stood
on the-veranda till they had passed the
door of the reception room: then he came
back and told , me to administer the
sleeping powder at 10, ss he would ba
there at 11. Then he led me to expect
that be would pay me well and left."
M!ss Walton, do you recall the name
of the sanatorium to which Mr. Pollock
wished Jo take Miss Page?"
Yes. It was Prof. Zellar a sanato
rium at OrtonvlUe."
Did you carry out your plans for that
night?"
No. The plan I had formed miscar
ried, because of the watchfulness of Mr.
Langdon, who unwittingly hindered me."
Will you tell the court. Miss Walton,
Just what did happen that night?"
Again she hesitated, and her nervous
fingers pulled at her gloves, but at last
like a diver taking a plunge she said
quickly;
I gave Miss Page a sleeping-draught
at 10 o'clock and then put on my own
hat and laid my cloak ready. At 11 I
went down to the reception room and
unlocked one of the French windows
which were almost Immediately opened by
Mr. Pollock. He followed me back to
the bedroom, and picking up Miss Page
whom I had carefully wrapped in
blankets he carried her out to his au
tomobile. As soon as he was on the
veranda I closed the window and started
to run to the front of the house, but I
was stopped by Mr. Langdon,' who was
spending the night at the sanatorium and
had already discovered Miss Page's ah
sence. He he caught me by the arm
and demanded to know where she was.
I tried to get away because because
moments were precious Just then, but
he wouldn't let go and finally I told
him that Mr, Pollock had Just carried

of the house and down the drive, and
sprang onto the running board of Mr.
Pollock's motor, which was Just start
ing up. Mr. Pollock struck at him, but
he hung on, and kept on fighting till
the notor swung around the curve and
Into the main road, and then the force
of the turn flung Mr. Langdon off. By
that time the detectives were In the road
and fired after the car, but It didn't
stop"
"Detectives! What detectives?" Ijng
don's question snapped like a whip lash.
"Why why" she stammered, confused
by the sudden interruption, "The ones
I sent for. I wanted Mr, Pollock caught
In the art of kidnapping Miss Pajre, but
Mr. 1-anndon held me back too long and
prevented my giving the signal agreed
upon."
A wave of sound that was the com
posite exclamation of those tn the room
swept like a breath of wind through the
court and faded to silence, and Langdon
asked:
"You had a special reason for want
Ing David Pollock caught by the police,
had you not, Mlsa Walton?"
"YesI" she cried, and her voice took
on a sudden fierce note of suffering and
linger. "I wanted him punished, and I
thanked God for the chtnee that had
been put into my hands!"
"Why?"
"Because he ruined my little sister,
and left her to die of shame and heart
break!" "Your honor!" It was the prosecutor's
voice. "I object to that question and
answer. It defames the character of a
dead man and has bearing upon this
case. What Is mote, it cannot be
proved!"
"You are perfectly right," said the
Judjje sternly. "Let the evidence of the
witness be stricken out from the words
'signal agreed upon." "
Langdon bowed his head submissively,
but there was a gleam of triumph in his
eyes, for he knew that .though the words
might be stricken out of the record,
they could not so easily be erased from
the minds of those who had heard them.
They had, in fact, laid bare another
tragedy, and the words of MIsS Walton
earlier In the day, "I began by nursing
my sister through a terrible illness when
she seemed likely to lose her reason,"
gained a poignant meaning, that made
more than one Juryman move reslessly,
and brought a whisper of sympathy
from the spectators.
The court clerk monotonously read the
corrected evidence and then Langdon,
after a moment's thought, said:
"Miss Walton, when your plan miscar
ried and Mr. Pollock succeeded in car
rying off Mliss Page, what did you do?"
' "I ran back to the hospital veranda
where Dr. Foster was standing, having
been drawn out by the sound of shots.
and told him as quickly as I could what
had occurred, and where they had taken
Miss Page."
"Did he make any comment upon the
address you gave him?"
"Yes. He gave a sharp exclamation
when I handed It to him and said,
'Great heavens! I've heard of that place
and what I've heard was anything but
good.' At that one of the detectives took
It and when he had read it he whistled
and said, 'Zellar's! My God, we'd bet
ter follow pretty quick, If you want to
rescue the girl. We've had our eye on
that Joint for some time.' 'At that Dr,
Foster said, 'We will follow quickly, for
my car can be here In a minute.' He
then told me to get my cloak, and put
ting on his own hat and overcoat he
led the way out to the garage, and we
started for OrtonvlUe,"
"Had you any plans as' to what you
were going to do when you arrived at
Zellar's?"
"Yes. It was arranged that I was to
go right In, announcing that I had some
by Mr. Pollock's orders to take charge
of Miss Psge, and then when I hs4 lo
cated her room I was to signal the
others, who would be waiting outside,
and later let them Into the house. We
we all felt that Miss Page had suffered
enough publicity and trouble, and It was
sgreed to make no arrests, but Just to
cet.her away."
"Will you tell the court, please, exactly
what happened when you reached the
sanatorium?" ' '
"Dr. Foster stopped the automobile
at some distance down the road and
put out the lights. Then we all slipped
Into the grounds as quietly as possible

while I went boldly up to the door and
rang the bell. I asked to see either
Dr. Keltara or Mr. Pollock, and was
taken Into an office, where both men
were sitting. Mr. Tollock seemed re
llevrd to see me, as he said Mlsa Page
was very much excited and had been
sobbing and screaming, but he was
obviously auspicious of me. I -t told
him, however, that I had had a fierce
battle with Tngdon to hold him back
from pursuing them, and that It was
he who had fired the shots; so at last
he seemed convinced and took me tip to
Miss Page's room. She was hysterical
and feverish and clung to me desper
ately. She was sitting on the edge of
her bed. In a narrow room whoso win
dows were heavily barred, while the
door had not only a lock, but two bolts
as well." i
"Was Miss Tage lorked In when you
got to her room?"
"Yes. and Mr. Tollock would have
locked us both in, had It not been that
I protested, saying that if MIsh Tage
grew violent In the night I must be free
to get out and call for help. But even
though he left the door unlocked he
lingered Just outside for a long time, and
I was unable either to soothe Miss Page
or give the signal, for fear of arousing
his suspicions. At last I heard him go
downstairs, and I told Misa Page that
Dr. Foster and Mr. Langdon were out
side, and when she hand sunk back cry
ing with relief 1 carried the lamp to the
window and gave the signal. Then I
started down stairs to let the men In."
"Were the hnlls deserttd?"
"Yes, both deserted and dark. But Just ss
I was slipping back the bolts of the front
door, the door to the office as opened
by an attendant and in the light that
streamed out he could see me plainly. I
tried to slip the last bolt lwfor he could
reach me, hut It was stiff and I couldn't
move it. With an oath he grabbed me
by the arm and draifged me into the
office. Both Dr. Zellnr and Mr. Pollock
were there, and he told them what I
had been doing. At that Mr. Pollock
grabbed me and shook me 'and demanded
to know what I was tin to. He hurt me
and frightened me so, I couldn't think of
anything to say and Just screamed, think
ing that those outside would hear me
and break In. They did hear me, for they
began to hammer on the door and de
mand entrance, and I screamed strain.
But at that Mr. Pollock clapped his
hand over mv mouth mid Dr. Zellar
caught my wrist and between them
they dragged me Into a little room be-,
yond the office and flung me Into a chair.
Then I saw that Dr. Zellar had a revol
ver In his hnnd and he t'.-rupt It Into my
face, promising to 'do for me' If t innde
any noise. They went out and locked the
door, but as soon as they were gone 1
ran to It and listened, and I heard the
doctor tell his assistant (the one who
caught me st the door) to go upstairs
and watch 'the girl.' Then he nnd Mr.
Pollock had a conference and decided to
let Dr. Foster anch Mr. Langdon in, but
to deny thnt Miss Page was there. "I'll
go upstairs and wait till yon get rid of
them.' said Mr, Pollock. Then I heard
a door close and everything was quiet."
"How long did that silence last?"
"Only a few moments." Soon I heard
Dr. Foster's voice saying, 'Miss Tage has
been forcibly dragged from my sana
torium and brought here. I demand her
Instant release, and I have my car out
side to take her bnck to the hospital.'
At that Dr. Zellar laughed sneerlngly
and said, 'Is it your usual method of
getting patients to run about at night
and kidnap them from rival Sana
torlums? I could hear Dr. Foster give a
little muttered oath of anger, but Mr.
Langdon broke tn sharply, saying, 'This
la no time for listening to any tomfool
insults from you, Zellar what we want
Is Miss Page, end, by. heaven, I'll get
her out of here. If I have to kill you nnd
break down every door In the place'
'Even that wouldn't get her,' said Dr.
Zellar, 'for this Miss Page, as you call
her, is not here.' 'You tie! shouted Lang
don, 'we know she Is. The nur.e has
already signalled us to thst effect.' 'I'm
afraid your friend has been drinking a
Utile too much,' sneered Zellar, speaking,
apparently, to Dr. Foster, for it was the
latter who answered: 'I 'suppose,' he
said dryly, 'that you will deny also that
a woman screamed to us for help a few
minutes ago.' 'One of the patients had
a nightmare,' said Zellar, but he spoke
uneasily, and suddenly Mr. Langdon
shouted, 'Nurse Walton! Nurse Walton!'
And In answer I beat upon the door and
cried, 'In here! In here!' Almost in
stantly It seemed I heard the sound of
running feet, and the door was unlocked
snd I. stumbled out almost Into Mr.
Langdon's arms. But before we could
either of us move swsy from the spot
?ellsr said grimly, 'Stand where you are,
all three of you" And we saw that he
was covering us with a revolver,' "
"How long did Dr. Zellar hold you In
this fashion?"
"Not more thsn a minute, for while we
pall stood motionless sivl startled by the
sudden turn of events, there came a most
terrific cry from upstairs the long
scream of a woman either half erased or
In deadly fear. Kven Zellar was horri
fied by It, and his arm wavered a little
ss he turned hlshead. At that Mr. Irfn
don sprang upon him, and bore him back
sgsliiKt the table. They fought desper
ately, both Dr. Foster and I trying to
help, and at length Mr. Langdon suc
ceeded In twisting the arm of Dr. Zellnr
so that his fingers went limp and the re
volver fell to ti.e floor. Dr. Foster
snatched It tip and Mr. I.snRi1m cried,
"Keep that beast covered till I get Msry.'
and went runhiiig out of the room and
up the stalts. It was then that 1 re
mcmhered the two detectives and real
ised that we had help outside, so 1 hur
tled to the door and flung It open. They
were right theie. half craity with anxiety,
nnd when I shouted, Tpstalrs.' they went
up two at a time, with mo close behind."
