"You're under another accusation now. Jean Forette, to call you by your latest alias, you're under arrest, charged with the murder, by poison, of Horace Carwell, and I think we'll come pretty near convicting you by the testimony of Mazi. Ah, would you not quite!" He struck down the hand the prisoner had raised to his mouth, and there rolled over the floor a little capsule.
He had spent much of the money on Mazi, whom he induced to go through a secret marriage ceremony with him. Then Jean, like a cornered rat, and crazy from the drug he had filled himself with, conceived the idea of poisoning Mr. Carwell. That would prevent arrest and exposure, he reasoned.
The door opened, and, handcuffed to a stalwart officer, in slunk Jean of the many names. Mazi sprang to her feet, her face livid. She would have leaped at the prisoner, but the colonel held her back. But he could not hold back the flood of voluble French that poured from her lips. "Liar! Dog!" she hissed at him. "And so you have deceived me as you deceived others!
You will believe Father Capoti, won't you?" and he laid beside the girl a letter which she read eagerly. This time she said nothing about lies, but her face turned deadly pale. "And this is the last exhibit," went on the colonel, as he laid a photograph before Mazi.
"All lies! What do I care?" sneered Mazi, again shrugging her shoulders. "Well, now let's get along. After our friend Jean found he was tired of his wife he shamed her into leaving him and she went well, that isn't pleasant to dwell on, either. Except that he's the villain responsible for her going to the dogs. He sent her there just as he would have sent you, Mazi, except for what has happened."
Been paid off, too, I believe, for he was sporting a roll of bills." "And he is to see Mazi when?" "This evening." "Very good. Now I don't want you to let him out of your sight. Stick to him like a life insurance agent on the trail of a prospect. Don't let him suspect, of course, but follow him when he goes to see the pretty little French girl to-night, and stay within call." "Very good.
All the words and system of language were wholly changed as for example, Poko poko wingi bongo, means "we do not understand"; Mazi, "fire"; Pi, "water"; Pe, "there is none"; Bugra, "cow." In sound, the language of these people resembles that of the Tibet Tartars.
"And now, my French auto friend, I've come to take you into custody on a charge of " "I didn't do it! I didn't do it!" cried the man. "I swear I didn't do it. I was going to throw the glass away but he grabbed it from me, and " "I arrest you on a charge of bigamy," went on the calm voice of Colonel Ashley. And then, as he saw Mazi stagger as though about to fall, he added: "All right, Jack.
"What do I care for all these lies?" sneered the girl, impatiently tapping her foot on the floor. "Why do you bore me? I am not interested! I should like to see Jean. Ha! Where have you put him?" "You'll see him soon enough, Mazi. I've got just a few more records to show you, and then I'm done.
He fell in love with a pretty girl she wasn't as pretty as you, Mazi, I'll say that but he fell in love with her and married her or pretended to. However, it was a fake ceremony, and she couldn't prove anything when he had spent all her money and tossed her aside. So there wasn't anything we could do to him that time." "More lies," said Mazi, calmly or at least with the appearance of calmness.
