Unable to control herself an) taiger, Annie broke down completely ud burst into tears. When the door pened and she taw her husband led away, pale and trembling, between those two burly policemen, it was aa If all she cared for on earth had gone out of her life forever. Capt. Clinton laid his hand gently on her (boulder. With more sympathy in his lace than was his custom to display, he said: "Now, little woman 'taln't no kind of use carrying on like that! If you want to help your husband and gel aim out of his trouble you want to get busy. Sitting there crying your yes out won't do him any good." Annie threw up her head. Her eyes were red, but they were dry now. Her lace was set and determined. The captain was right. Only foolish wom en weep and wail when misfortune knocks at their door. The right sort of women go bravely out and make a fight for liberty and honor. Howard was Innocent She was convinced ot that, no matter how black things looked against him. She would not leave a stone unturned till she had regained for him his liberty. With renewed hope In her heart and reso lution in her face, she turned to con front the captain. "What has he done?" she demanded. "Killed hia friend, Robert Under wood." Ha watched her face closely to see what effect hia words would have on Her. "Robert Underwood dead!" ex elalmed Annie with more surprise than emotion. "Yes," said the captain sternly, "and your husband, Howard Jeffries, killed him." "That's not true! I'd never believe that," said Annie promptly. "He's made a full confession," went on the captain. "A confession!" she echoed uneasi ly. "What do you mean?" "Just what I say. Your husband has made a full confession in the presence of witnesses, that he came here to Underwood's rooms to ask for money. They quarreled. Your husband drew a pistol and shot him. He has signed a confession which will be presented to the magistrate this I nornlng."' Annie looked staggered for a mo vent, but her faith in her husband waa unshakeable. Almost hysterically ahe cried: ' "I don't believe it. I don't believe ft. You may have tortured him into signing something. Everybody knows your methods, Capt. Clinton. But thank God there la a law in tlu United States which protecta the 1: encent as well as punishes the guilt; 1 shall get the most able lawyers defend him evea if I have to sell my- ,e'.f Into slavery for the rest of my life." . "Bravo, little woman!" said the cap tain mwWInirlr "That's tha V1T tO alk. . I like your spunk, but before you go I'd Uk. to ask you a few que.- iioinT at iiAwn u m . h opposite her. "Now. Mrs. Jeffries," he began en couragingly, "tell me did you ever bear your husband threaten Howard i Underwood?" By this time Annie had recovered ; her self-possession She knew that. the best way to help Howard was to . seep cooi ana 10 say uuiumt nunu was likely to Injure his oause. Boldly, therefore, she answered; "You've no right to ask me that -.41-. It uenuua. The captain shifted uneasily in hi. ..at. He knew she was within her egal right. Hecouldnt bully her into .eying anything that would In - criminate her husband. "I merely thought you would like u assist the authorities, to" he tammered awkwardly. "To convict my husband," she said ealmly. "Thank you, I understand my rositlon." "You can t do him very much harm, you know," said the captain with ar fected-Jocularity. "He has confessed la the .hooting." "I dent believe it," .he .aid em phatically, f ' Trying a different tack, he asked eareleasly: "Did you know Mr. Underwood?" She hesitated before replying, then Indifferently she said: "Yes, I knew him at one time. He introduced me to my husband." "Where was that?" "In New Haven, Conn." "Up at the college, eh? How long have you known Mr. Underwood?" Annie looked at her Inquisitor and said nothing. She wondered what be was driving at, what importance the question bad to the case. Ktnaliy sue said: "I met him once or twice up at New Haven, but I've never seen him since my marriage to Mr. Jeffries. My hus band and be were not very good frlnde. That Is" She stopped, realizing that she bad made a mistake. How foolish she bad bHu! The Dollce. of course, wer. DEGMCE V Y anxious to show that there was ill feeling between the two men. Her heart misgave her as she saw the look of satisfaction in the captain's face. "Ah!" he exclaimed. "Not very good friends, eh? Iu fact, your hus band didn't like him, did he?" "He didn't like him well enough to run after him," she replied hesitat ingly. 1 The captain now started off in an other direction. "Was your husband ever Jealous of Underwood?" By this time Annie bad grown sus picious of every question. She was on her guard. "Jealous? Wrhat do you mean? No, he was not jealous. There was never any reason. 1 refuse to answer any more questions." The captain rose and began to pace the floor. "There's one little thing more, Mrs. Jeffries, and then you can go. You can help your husband by helping us. I want to put one more question to you and be careful to answer truth fully. Did you call at these rooms 1 last night to see Mr. Underwood?" "I!" exclaimed Annie with mingled astonishment and indignation. "Of course not." . "Sure?" demanded the captain, eye ing her narrowly. "Positive," said Annie firmly. The captain looked puzzled. "A woman called here last night to see him," he said thoughtfully, "and I thought that perhaps" Interrupting himself, he went quick ly to the door of the apartment and called to some one who was waiting in the corridor outside. A boy about 18 years of age, in the livery cf an elevator attendant, entered the room The captain pointed to Annie. "Is that .the lady?" The boy looked carefully, and then shook his head. "Don't think so no, sir. The other lady was a great swell." "You're sure, eh?" said the captain. "I think so," answered the boy. "Do you remember the name she gave? "No, sir," replied the boy. "Ever since you asked me " Annie arose and moved toward the door. She had no time to was'e there. Every moment now was pre cious. She must get ltgal assistance at once. Turning to Capt. Clinton, she said: "If you've no further use for me, captain, I think I'll go." "Just one moment, Mrs. Jeffries," he said. The face of the elevstur boy sud denly brlgl:t(iied up. "That's it," he said 'eagerly. "Tl,; t's it Jeffries. I think that waa the name she gave, sir." "Who?" demanded the captain. "Not this lady," uaid the boy. "The other lady. I think she said .le fr'eg, or Jtnklns, or someihlrg like tl at." The captain waved his hand toward the. door. "That's all right go We'll find her all right." The boy went out and the captain turned round to Annie. -It'll be rather a pity If It Isn't you, ne asm, wnu a BiiKBcmiTn' uiw. "How so?" she demanded The captain laughed. "Well, you see, a woman always gets the Jury mlied up. Nothing fools l g J2 yQU WJ ,f ,hey qiiarreIed youy0ur husband would .tana chance." Patronizingly he added, "Come, Mrs. Jeffries, you'd bet ; r tetl the trutl and 1 can advlsi rou who to go to." i Annie drew herself up, and with ' diKDlty Bald' , ,.Tha Jm , fn , ,ail recommended by a . ce ,n , m t(j Rchard j BreWiUr ., the nmn; ,. i0OB et my hu8band out of Tombs." Reflectively, she added: "If my father 1 0ad had Judge Urewster to defend him . ntoad of a legal shark, he'd never ; ,,ave be)n raur0sded to Jail. He'd be 1 Hve to-day." Capt Clini0n ffgwed loudly.

Firstly, he's too expensive. Secondly, he', old man Jeffries' law yer. He wouldn't touch your case with a ten-foot pole. Resides," he sdded in a tone at contempt "llrew iter's no good In a case of this kind. He's a constitution lawyer cn of them International fellers. He don't know nothing" "He', the only lawyer I want," she retorted determinedly. Then she went on: "Howard's folks must come to his rescue. Tbey must stand by him they must" The captain grinned. "From what I hear," he said, "old man Jeffries won't raise a finger to save his scapegrace son from going to the chair. He's done with him tor good and all." Chuckling aloud and talking to blm self rather than to his visa-vis, be muttered: "T'i will convince the lui. They'll argue that the boy can't be 1 ; much good if his own go back on : , him." Annie's e flashed. 1 "Precisely!" she exclaimed, "nut. IDs own won't go back on him. Ill see to It that they don't." Rising and i turning toward the door, she asked: I "Have you anything more to say to ! me, captain?" "No," replied the captain htsttat ingly. "You can go. Of course you'll be called later for the trial. You can see your husband in the Tombs when you wish." No man is so hard that he has not a soft spot somewhere. At heart Capt. Clinton was not an unkind man. Ixing service In the police force and a mistaken notion of the proper method of procedure in treating his prisoners had hardened him and made him brutal. Secretly he felt sorry for this plucky, euergetic little woman who had such unbounded faith in her good-for-nothing husband, and was ready to fight all alone In his defense. Eyeing her with renewed Interest, he demanded:: "What are you going to do now?" Annie reached the door, and draw ing herself up to her full height, turned and said: ' "I'm going to undo all you have done, Capt. Clinton. I'm going to free my husband and prove his Innocence before the whole world. I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I'll do It. I'll fight you, oaptaln, to the last ditch, and I'll rescue my poor husband from your clutches If it takes everything I possess in the world." Quickly she opened the door and disappeared.

MINORITY NARROWLY BEATEH Committees Must File Statements Tan Days Before Voting During D bate Good Says J. Pierpont Morgan Aided Democrats in Iowa. Washington, April 15. The Demo cratic party met its first serious trou ble lu the house of representatives. At the close of a session marked by the activity of Insurgents In the Dem ocratic ranks, by reason of which the. Republicans nerrowly missed scoring a triumph, the house passed the Ruck er bill for publicity of campaign con tributions before election. The fight arose over the extent to which publicity should be applied. Rut for the vigorous and continued, use of the Democratic party whip an. Important Republican amendment ex tending publicity to the Individual re ceipts and expenses of candidates for congress, would have been retained la the hill when It finally passed. As it was, the amendment was adopted over the protest of the Demo cratic lenders, by the support of fifty two Democrats who voted with tha solid Republican strength. Get Rid of Amendment. Resort to a parliamentary move en abled the Democrats later to get rid. of the amendment, but twenty-eight of their number refused to change their attitude, and stuck with the Re publicans in opposing the Democratic majority. Tho Rucker bill passed finally by a unanimous vote, but only after a stormy acene. The amendment of-, fered by Representative Jackson, a new Republican member from Kan sas, required all candidates for con gress to file statement of the source and use of their Individual campaign funds, In both the primary and gen eral election. The amendment met In stnnt support from the Republican side and encountered the opposition, of the Democratic loaders. Tho Rucker bill, as finally passed, makes more stringent the campaign publicity lnw passed In 1I0. That law lequlres publicity of funds after election. The Rucker bill will require publicity of funds by the campaign committee ten days previous to elec- tlon and the filing of supplemental statements every mree nays there after until election day. Kopp Amendment Adopted. The Rucker hill limited publicity at campaign expenditures to sums of tl(K) or over, but Mr. Rucker accepted an amendment. of Kopp (Rep., Wis.), requiring the publicity of all payments In sums of 110 or over for campaign purposes. Throughout the debate.. Perry Relmont, president of the Na-. tlonal Publicity Law association an a former member of the house, occu pied a seat on the floor. Representative Good (la.) caused a small sensation during the debate on the Rucker bill by declaring that tha largest single contributor to the Dem ocratic campaign fund In Iowa was. "confidential man for J. Pierpont Mor gan & Co." He said W. C. ner, a. former resident of Iowa, had made tha contribution. He urged an amendment of the law that would show the tru' source of all contributions. Representative Good said that Keer'a contribution was made to the Demo cratic national committee.
