CHAPTER XI.
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.-

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

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

Secondly, he', old man Jeffries' law

sdded in a tone at contempt "llrew

He's a constitution lawyer cn of

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.

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.
