"Yes. It's true. Pave was mad because
you had been called In by Miss Page to
look over the contract. He said you were
butting In where Miss Page was con
cerned, and ho wanted me to keep you
away from the theater."
Langdon flushed and frowned.
"Please remember. Mr. Daniels," he
said harshly, "that you are addressing
the court and not me personally. I re
quest, your honor, that the name 'Mr.
Iangdon' be substituted for the word
'you.' as used by the witness."
"Your request Is granted." said the
Judge, who was atlll narrowly studying
Daniels. The witness' nervousness was
growing worse, and he waa choosing hla
words with obvious care.
"Waa that first day the only time you
and Mr. Pollock quarreled about finan
cial support for the play In case Miss
Page left the company T" The question
waa quietly asked, but pregnant with a
meaning that brought tho blood Into
Daniel's face.
"No, It wasn't." he snapped. "When I
found how dead set Miss Ps-ga waa
against him, I knew he wasn't going to
win out in thst game. I tried to makj

with the words, 'was there anyone In the
hallway when you looked back? "
There waa a slight rustling of papers,
whm the clear voice of the stenographer
rang out :
"Question: Was there anyone in the
hallway when you looked back? Atswer
Yes. The fat man who had been at the
banquet, the one they called Mr. Ianlls.
question: What waa he doing? Answer:
Ho was standing close to the door of the

range thing so that yoti-t mean Mr.

theater."
When did you have the last quarrel
on that subject with Mr. Pollock? "
'On the day that '.The Seeker'
opened.''
With an abrupt gesture Iangdon caught
up the sheet of paper on whloh were,
pasted the torn scraps of the note to
Pollock and held It up before the wit
ness. "Mr. Danlela, did you write that letter
to Mr. rollock?"
"My Ood! Where did you get that?"
The cry waa a confession, but t-angdon
repeated his qliestlon. and this time
Daniels said with sudden sullenness:
"Yes. I wrote It."
"When?"
The day 'The Seekera' opened. There
had been a scene In Mlsa Page'a dress

show -would be queered .If Pollock didn't
let the girl alone."
"WTiy didn't you finish It?"
"Recauso" Daniels hesitated and moist
ened his dry lips with a nervous tongue,
"because I I thought It sounded pretty
raw, and I'd better let things go tl'l I
saw Dave that night."
Again the ominous little murmur that
meant suspicion crept through the room.

"That will do, thank you," cried I.ang
don sharply. "And now, Mr. Daniels,
will you tell us whst you did when you
overheard the voices of Miss Pago and
Mr. Pollock talking In the gray suite and
why you were so agitated when you met

"Pecause," the voice of the manager
rose to a sudden scream, "because I
