Capt. Clinton's prognathous Jaw
napped to with a click, and he
squared his massive shoulders, as he
tFiially did when preparing for hog
tilities: ..
"Now, Mrs Jeffries," he said sharp
ly, 'Til trouble you to go with me to
headquarters."
Annie and Alicia both stood up.
Judge Brewslsr quickly objected.
"Mrs. Jeffries will not go with you,"
be said quietly. "She has made no at
tempt to leave the state."
"She's wanted at police headquar
ters," said the captain doggedly.
"She'll be there to-morrow morn
ing." "She'll be there to-night."
He looked steadily at the Judge, and
the latter calmly returned his stare.
There followed an awkward pause,
nd then the captain turned on his
heel to depart.
"The moment she attempts to leave
the house," he growled, "I shall ar
rest her. Good-night, Judge."
"Good-night, captain!" cried Annie
mockingly.
"I'll see you later," he muttered.
"Come on, Maloney."
The door banged to. They were
alone.
"What a sweet disposition!" laugh
ed Annie.
Judge Brewster looked sternly at
hex. Holding up the letter, he said:
"What Is the meaning of this? You
fare not the woman to whom this let
ter is addressed?"
"No," stammered Annie, "that is"
The Judge Interrupted her. Sternly
lie asked: .
"Is it your Intention to go on the
witness stand and commit perjury?"
"I don't know. I never thought ot
that," she faltered.
The Judge turned to Alicia.
"Are you going to allow her to do
so, Mrs. Jeffries?"
"No. no," cried Alicia, quickly; "1
iifrver thought of such a thing."
"Then I repeat is it your Intention
1o perjure yourself?" Annie was si
lent, and he went on: "I assume it
in, but let me ask you: Do you ex
pect me, as your counsel, to become
partlceps criminls to this tissue of
lies? Am I expected to build up a
false structure for you to swear to?
Am I?"
"I don't know; I haven't thought of
it.," replied Annie. "If it can be done,
way not?. I'm gladjrou suggested it."
"I suggest It?" exclaimed the law
yer, scandalized.
"Yes," cried Annlt with growing
exaltation; "it never occurred to me
tfll you spoke. Everybody says I'm
the woman who called on Robert Un
derwood that night. Well, that's all
right Let them continue to think so.
What difference does it make so long
as Howard is set free?" Going to
ward the door, she said: "Good-night,
Mrsv Jeffries!"
Tfce' Judge tried to bar her way.
"Don't go," , ho said; "Capt. Clin
ton's men are waiting outside."
"That doesn't matter!" she cried.
"But you must not go!" tixclalmed
the tewyer In a tone of command. "I
won't allow it They'll arrest you!
Mrs. Jeffries, you'll please remain
here."
But Annie was already at the door.
"I wouldn't keep Capt. Clinton
ent scrape, me letter sue naa ,".v
ducpd, written to her by Underwood
the day before his death. In which he
stated his determination to kill him'
self, was, ot course, a complete vtndl
cation for the man awaiting trial. His
liberation now depended only on how
quickly the ponderous machinery of
the law could take cognizance of this
new and most important evidence.
: The new turn of affairs was nat
urally most distasteful to the police.
If there was one thing more than
another which angered Capt. Clinton it
was to take the trouble to build up a
case only to have It suddenly demol
lshed. He scoffed at the "suicide let
ter," safely committed to Judge Brew
ster's custody, and openly branded it
as a forgery concocted by an Immoral
woman for the purpose of defeating
the ends of justice. He kept Annie a
prisoner and defied the counsel for
the defense to do their worst. Judge
Brewster, who loved the fray, accept
cd the challenge. He acted promptly
He secured Annie's release on habeas
orpus proceedings and, his civil suit
against the city having already begun
In the courts', he suddenly called Capt.
Clinton to the stand and gave him
a grilling which more than atoned for
any which the police tyrant had pre
viously made his victims suffer. In
the limelight of a sensational trial, ii
which public servants were charged
with abusing positions of trust, he
(bowed Capt. Clinton up as a bully and
a grafter, a bribe-taker, working hand
and glove with dishonest politicians,
not hesitating even to divide loot with
thieves and dive-keepers in his greed
for wealth. He proved him to be a
consummate liar, a man who would
stop at nothing to gain his own ends.
What' Jury would take the word of
such a man as this? Yet this was the
man who still Insisted that Howard
Jeffries was guilty of the shooting
of Robert Underwood! .
But public opinion was too intelli
gent to be hoodwinked for any length
of time by a brutal and Ignorant po
liceman. There was a clamor for the
prisoner's release. The evidence was
such that further delay was inexcus
able. The district attorney, thus
urged, took an active Interest in the
case, and after going over the new evi
dence with Judge Brewster, went be
fore the court and made formal ap
plication for the dismissal of the com
plaint. A few days later Howard Jef
fries left the Tombs amid the cheers
of a crowd assembled outside. At his
side walked his wife, now smiling
through tears of Joy.
It was a glad home-coming to the
little flat In Harlem. To Howard, aft
er spending so long a time In the
narrow prison quarters. It seemed like
paradise, and Annie walked on air, so
delighted was she to have blra with
her again. Yet there were still anxi
eties to cloud their happiness. The
close confinement, with its attendant
worry, had seriously undermined How
ard's health. He was pale and atten
uated, and so weak that he had sev
eral fainting spells. Much alarmed,
Annie summoned Dr. Bernstein, who
administered a tonic. There was noth
ing to cause anxiety, he said, reas
suringly. It was a natural reaction
after what her husband had under
gone. But It was worry as much
as anything else. Howard worried
Seriously, he went on:-"Mrs. Jeffries,
j our husband needs a change of scene.
He's worrying. That fainting spell the
other day was only a symptom. I'm
a'.rrtld he'll break down unless"
"Unless what?" she demanded, anv
ou.-'y.
He he.-ltated for a moment, as If un
willing to give uttt ranee to words he
knew must inflict pain. Then he
piickly continued:
"Your husband is under a great
mental strain. His inability to sup
port you, his banishment from his
proper sphere In the social world is
mental torture to him. He feels his
position keenly. There is nothing else
to occupy his mind but thoughts of
liU utter and complete failure la U'

I was talking to his father last night
and"
"And what?" she demanded, draw
ing herself up. She suspected what
was coming, and nerved herself to
meet It.
"Now, don't regard me as an enemy,"
said the doctor In a conciliatory
tone. "Mr. Jeffries Inquired after his
on. Believe me, he's very anxious.
He knows he did the boy a great In
justice, and he wants to make up
for it."
"Oh, he does?" she exclaimed, sar
castically.
Dr.Bernsteln hesitated for a moment
before replying. Then he said, lightly :
"Suppose Howard goes abroad for a
few months with his father and
mother?"
"Is that the proposition?" she de-
niLnded.
The doctor nodded.
"I believe Mr. Jeffries ban already
spoken about It to bis son," he said.
Annie choked back a sob and, cros3'
Ing the room to conceal her emotion
stood with her back turned, looking
out of the window. Her voice was
trembling as she said:
"He wants to separate us, I know.
He'd give half his fortune to do It
Perhaps he's not altogether wrong
Things do look pretty black for me
don't they? Everybody believes that
my going to see Underwood that night
bad something to do with his suicide
and led to mjr; husband being falsely
accused. The police built up a fine ro
mance about Mr. Underwood and me
and the newspapers! Every other
day a reporter comes and asks us
when the divorce Is going to take
place and who Is going to institute
the proceedings, Howard or me. If
evervhnriv would nnlv mlud their own

plied. "Oh. I'm all right now," he replied.
Looking anxiously at his wile across
the table, he said: "You're the one
that needs tuning up. I heard you
crying last night. You thought I was
asleep, but I w asn't. I didn't say any
thing because well I felt kind of
blue myself."
Annie sighed and leaned her head
on her hand. Wearily she said:
"I was thinking over all that we've
been through together, and what
they're saying about us "
Howard threw down his newspaper
Impatiently.
"Let them say what they like. Why
should we cars as long as we're
happy?"
His wife smiled sadly.
"Are we happy?" she asked, gently.
'Of course ws are, replied How
ard.
She looked up and smiled. It was
good to hear htm say so, but did he
mean It? Was she doing right to
stand In the way of his career? Would
he not be happier If she left him? He
was too loyal to suggest It, but per
haps In his heart he desired It. Look
ins at him tenderly, she went on:
"I don't question your affection for
me, iiowara. i Deneve you love me,
but I'm afraid that, sooner or later,
you'll ask yourself the question all
your friends are asking now, the ques
tlon everybody seems to be asking."
'What question?" demanded How
ard.
"Yesterday the bell rang and a gen
tleman said he wanted to see you. I
told him you were out, and he said
I'd do just as well. He hunded me it
.rd. On !t was the name of the news
paper he represented."
"Well?"
"He asked me If It were true that
proceedings for a divorce were about
to be Instituted. If so, when? And
could I give him any information on
the subject? I asked him who wanted
the Information ,and he said the read
ers of his paper the people I believe
be said over a million of them. Just
think, Howard! Over a million peo
ple, not counting your father, your
friends and relations, all waiting to
know why you don't get rid of me,
why you don't believe me to be as bad
as they think I am "
Howard raised bis hand for her
to desist.
"Annie please!" he pleaded.
"That's the fact, Isn't it?" she
laughed.
"No."
Ills wife's head dropped on the table.
She was crying now.
"I've made a hard fight, Howard,"
she sobbed, "but I'm going to give up.
I'm through I'm through!"
Howard took hold of her hand and
carried it to his lips.
"Annie, old girl," he said, with some
feeling, "I may be weak, I may be
blind, but nobody on top of God's green
earth can tell me that you're not the
squarest, stralghtest little woman that
ever lived! I don't care a damn what

CHAPTER XIX.
The Jeffries case suddenly entered
Into an entirely new phnHe, and once
more was deemed of sufficient public
Interest to warrant column after col
umn of spicy comment In the news
papers. The town awoke one morn
ing to learn that the long-sought-for
witness, the mysterious woman on
whose testimony everything hinged,
bad not only been found.but proved
lo be the prisoner's ov n wife, who
bad been so active in his defense.
This announcement was stupefying
nough to overshadow all other news
rf ths day, and nails fled the most
Jaded palate for sensationalism.
The first question asked on all sides
was: Why had not the wife come for
ward before? The reason, as jllbly
explained by an evening Journal of
somewhat yellow proclivities, was log
ical enopgh. The telling of her mid
nltrht visit to a single man's rooms
only partially reconciled; he worried
about his future, which was as pre
carious as ever, and most of all he
worried about his wife. He was not
't.ni;ini f the circumstances which
had brought about his release, and
while liberty was sweet to him, It had
been a terrible shock when he first
heard that she was the woman who
I TnlnrtL'nnrl'a Fnntna TTfl
Mali T lOllU 1 v. 1 " ""M . .......... - -
refused to believe her sworn evidence.
How was It possible? Why should she
go to Underwood's rooms knowing he
was there? It was preposterous. Still
the small voice rang in his ears per
haps she's untrue! It haunted him
till one day he asked point-blank for
an explanation. Then she told that
she had perjured herself. She was not
the woman. Who she really was she
cou'.d not say. He must be satisfied
for th" present with the assurance
that It was not his wife. With that
he was content. What did he care for
the opinion of others? He knew that
was enough! In their conversation on
the subject Annls did not even men
tion Alicia's nams. Why should she?"
Weeks passed, and Howard's health
did not Improve. He had tried to And
Involved a shameful admission which) a position, but without success, yet

any woman might
make unless forced to It as a last
extremity. Confronted, however, with
the alternative of either seeing her
husband suffer for a crime of which
he was Innocent or making public ac
knowledgment of her own frailty, she
had chosen the latter course. Nat
urally, It meant divorce from the bank
w s son, and undoubtedly this was the
solution most wished for by the family.
The whole unsavory affair conveyed a
good lesson to reckless young men of
wealth to avoid entangling them
selves In undesirable matrimonial ad
ventures. But It was no less certain,
went on this Journalistic mentor, that
this wife, unfaithful as she had proved
herself to be, had really rendered her
husband a signal service In her prea-
which had to be met. One morning
Annie was bustling about their tiny
dining room preparing the table for
their frugal luncheon. She had Just
placed the rolls and butter on tho
table, and arranged the chairs, when
there came a ring at the front door
bell. Earlv visitors were not bo in
frequent as to cause surprise, so, with
out waiting to remove her apron, she
went to the door and opened it. Dr.
Bernstein entered.
"fJooa morning, Mrs. Jeffries," fie
said, cheerily. Putting down his medi
cal bag, he asked: "How is our pa
tiunt this morning?"
"All right, doctor. He had a splen
did night's rest. I'll call him."
"Never mind. I want to talk to ?ou "
business and let us alone he might
forget Oh, I don't mean you, doctor.
You're my friend. You made short
work of Capt Clinton and his 'confes
sion.' I mean people outsiders
strangers who don't know us, and
don't care whether we're alive or dead;
those are the people I mean. They
buy a one-cent paper and they think
It gives them the right to pry Into
every detail of our lives." She paused
for a moment, and then went on: "So
you think Howard Is worrying? I
think, so, too. At first I thought It
was because of the letter Mr. Under
wood wrote me, but I guess It's what
you say. His old friends won't have
anything to do with him and he's
lonely. Well, I'll talk It over with
him"
"Yes talk It over with him.
"Did you promise his father you'd
ask me?" she demanded.
"No not exactly," he replied, hesl
tatlngly.
Annie looked at him frankly.
"Howard's a pretty good fellow to
stand by me In the face of all that's
being said about my character, Isn't
he, doctor? And I'm not going to
stand In his light even If It doesn't
exactly make me the happiest woman
In the world, but don't let It trickle
into your mind that I'm doing It for
his father's sake."
At that moment Howard entered
from the Inner room. . He was sur
prised to see Dr. Bernstein.
"How do you feci to-day?" asked the
doctor.
"First rate! Oh, I'm all right You
see, I'm just going to sat a bite. Won't
you Join us?" v
He sat down at ths table and picked
up the newspaper, while Annie busied
herself with carrying In the dishes.
"No, thank you," laughed the doctor.
"It's too early for me. I've only Just
bad breakfast. I dropped In to sea
how you were." Taking up his bag,
he said: "Good-hy! Don't get up. I
can let myself out."
But Annie had already opened the
door for him, and smiled a farewell.
When she returned to her seat at the
head of the table, and began to pour
out the coffee, Howard said:
"He's a pretty decent fellow, isn't
he?"
"Yes," she replied, absent-mindedly,
as she passed a cup of coffee.
"He made a monkey of Capt. Clin
ton all right," went on Howard. "What
did he come for?"
claimed. "Yes, I know you believe In
me." She stopped and continued, sad
ly: "But you're only a boy, you know
What of the future, the years to
come?" Howard's face became se
rlous, and she went on: "You see
you've thought about It, too, and you're
trying to hide it from me. But you
can't. Your father wants you to go
abroad with the family."
"Well?"
He waited and looked at her curi
ously as If wondering what her an
swer would be. He waited some time,
and then slowly she said:
"I think you had better go!"
"You don't mean that!" he ex
claimed, In genuine surprise.
She shook her head affirmatively.
"Yes, I do," she said; "your father
wants you to take your position In
the world, the position you are entitled
to, the position your association with
me prevents you from taking"
Howard drummed his fingers on the
tablecloth and looked out of the win
dow. It seemed to her that his voles
no longer had tho same candid ring as
he replied:
"Yes, father has spoken to me about
It. He wants to be friends, and I "
He paused awkwardly, and then add
ed: "I admit I've I've promised to
consider It, but"
Annie finished his sentence for him:
"You're going to accept his offer,
Howard. You owe It to yourself, to
your family, and to" She laughed
as she added: "I was going to say to
millions of anxious readers."
Howard looked at her curiously. Hs
did not know if she was Jesting or In
earnest. Almost Impatiently he ex
jlalmed:
"Why do you talk In this way against
your own Interests? You know I'd
like to be friendly with my family,
and all that. But it wouldn't be fair
to you."
"I'm not talking against myself,
Howard. I want you to be happy, and
you're not happy. You can't be happy
under these conditions. Now be bon
est with me can you?"
"Can you?" he demanded.
"No," she answered, frankly, "not
unless you are." Slowly she went on
"Whatever happiness I've had In life
I owe to you, end God knows you've
had nothing but trouble from me. I
did wrong to marry you, and I'm
willing to pay the penalty. I've evened
tuatteis ugwltu your family-, now let
ana aqusrs up wuu you.
"Evened up matters with my fam
ily?" he exclaimed in surprise. "What
do you mean?"
With h smile she replied auiblsu-
ousiy:
"Oh. that's a little private matter of
my on!" He stared at her, unable
to comprehend, and she went on,
gravely: "Howard, you must do
what's best for yourself. I'll pack
your things. You can go when you
