Mr Brews:* r. you're a great •ii.nal lawyer—the greatest in this n'ry—and 1 take off my hat to > but l dent think criminal law I is In your line " Judge Brewster pursed his lips and his »>es Sashed as he retorted quickly: ! don t think it's constitutional to taV* a man s mind away from him -t i s: 1st rule your own. Capt. Cltn | ton ” V. : at <!;i you meanV demanded the chief '1 mean that instead of bringing out ' man his c.wn true thoughts of it r '.nr-. >cu haTe forced iDto his sues# your own false thoughts of his guilt ” The judge spoke slowly and dellb maklCE each word tell. The ji .ic ta!!y squirmed uneasily on his chair “I don't follow you. Judge Better tick to international law This police court work is beneath you." “Perhaps it is." replied the lawyer quickly without losing his temper. Then he asked "Captain, will you an swer a few questions?” “It all depends." replied the other insolently. i: you don't,” cried the judge sharp ly. I’ll ask them through the me d: am of your own weapon—the press »nly tcy press will not consist of the ! one or two yellow journals you in pm but the Independent, dignified press of the United States." The captain reddened. “1 don't like the insinuation, judge." “I don't Insinuate. Capt. Clinton.” went on the lawyer se\ erely. "I accuse you of giving an untruthful version of 'hi: matter to two sensational news papers in this city These scurrilous beets have tried this young man in 'heir columns and found him guilty, thus prejudicing the whole community against him before be comes to trial. It no other country In the civilised world would this be tolerated, except is a country overburdened with free dom." Capt Canton laughed tx terously. The early bird catches tue worm." he grinned “They asked me for in formation and got lb" Judge Brewster went on: • You have so prejudiced the com munity against him that there is scarcely a man who doesn't believe him guilty. If this matter ever comes I to trial how can we pick an unpreju j diced jury' Added to this foul lnjus ; tire you have branded this young man's wife with every stigma that can be put on w omanhood. You have hint ed that she Is the mysterious female who visited Underwood on the night at the shooting and openly suggested that she is the cause of the crime." "Well. It's Just possible.'' said the ;tollceinaa with effrontery. Judge Brewster was fast losing his temper. The man's fnsolent demean or was intolerable Half rising from I his chair and pointing his finger at him. be continued: "You hare besmirched her character with stories of scandal. You have linked her name with that of Under wood The whole country rings with ; falsities about her. In my opinion, i ('apt Clinton, your direct object is to destroy the value of any evidence she I may give in her husband's favor." i The chief looked aggrieved. -Why. I haven't said a word." [ Turning to his sergeant, he asked: ! "Have I. Maloney?" “But these sensation - mongers j have?" cried the judge angrily. “Yon are the only source from whom they could obtain the information " “Bat what do I gain?" demanded the «-a|W»iw with affected innocence. -Advertisement—promotion." re plied the judge sternly. Theae same papers speak of you as the greatest living chief—the greatest public of ficial—oh. you know the political value : of that sort of thing as well as I do.” The captain shrugged his shoulders. "I can’t help what they say about me,” he grow led They might add that you are also the richest,” added the judge quickly, , 'but I won't go into that.” Again Capt. Clinton reddened and shifted restlessly on his chair. He did not relish the trend of the conversa tion. "I don't like all this. Judge Brew ster— tain’t fair—I ain't on trial.” Judge Brewster picked up some pa pers from his desk and read from one of them “Captain, in the case of the People against Creedon—after plying the de fendant with questions for six hours you obtained a confession from him?” “Yes. he told me he set the place I on fire.” “Exactly—but it afterward de veloped that he was never near the I place." “Well, he told me." ; “Yes. He told you. but it turned out that he was mistaken." “Yes.” admitted the captain reluc I tantly. The judge took another document, 1 and read: “In the case of the People against j Bentley.” “That was Bentley's own fault—1 didn't ask him." interrupted the cap tain. "He owned up himself." Turn ing to the sergeant, he said: “You were there. Maloney.” “But you believed him guilty,” In terposed Judge Brewster quicktv “Yes.” "You thought him guilty and after a five-hour session you impressed this I thought on his mind and he—he con : fessed.” “I didn't impress anything—I just simply—" “You just simply convinced him that he was guilty—though as it turned | out he was in prison at the time he was supposed to have committed the i burglary—” “It wasn’t burglary." corrected the : captain sullenly. Judge Brewster again consulted the ! papers In his hand. "You're quite right, captain—my | mistake—it was homicide, but—it was ! an untrue confession.” “Yes." * - " uiiug iu uir lahan case," went on the judge, pick ing up another document. "In the case of the People against Tuthill—and— | Cosgrove—Tuthill confessed and died ! in prison, and Cosgrove afterward ac knowledged that he and not Tuthill | was the guilty man.” "Well.” growled the captain, “mis ; takes sometimes happen." Judge Brewster stopped and laid down his eyeglasses. "Ah, that is precisely the point of view we take in this matter: Now, captain, in the present case, on the night of the confession did you show young Mr. Jeffries the pistol with which he was supposed to have shot Robert Underwood?" Capt. Clinton screwed up his eyes as if thinking hard. Then, turning to his sergeant, he said: “Yes. I think 1 did. Didn’t I. Ma loney?” "Your word is sufficient,” said the j judge quickly. "Did you hold It up?” j “Think I did.” ’’Do you know If there was - light ! shining on it?” asked the judge j quickly. At this point. Dr. Bernstein, who had been an attentive listener, bent eagerly forward. Much depended on Capt Clinton's answer—perhaps a man's life. “Don’t know—might have Bteen.” re plied the chief carelessly. Judge Brewster turned to Dr. Bern stein. * “Were there electric Ughta on the wall?” “Yea.” "What di'Terence does that make?" demanded the policeman "Quite a little." replied the judge quietly. "The barrel of the revolver was bright—shining steel. Frora the moment that Howard Jeffries eyes rested on the shinine steel barrel of that revolver he was no longer a con scious personality. As he himself said to his wife: ‘They said I did it—and 1 knew I didn't, but after I looked at that shining pistol 1 don’t know what ! said or did—everything became a blur and a blank.' Now. j may tell you, captain, that this conditicn fits in every detail the clinical experiences of nerve specialists and the medical experiences of the psychologists Aft er five hours' constant cross-question ing while in a semi-dazed condition, you impressed on him your own ideas —you extracred ftom him not the thoughts that were in his own con sciousness. but those that were ia yours. Is that the scientific fact, doc tor?” "Yes," replied Dr. Bernstein, “the optical captivation of Howard Jef fries' attention makes the whole case complete and clear to the physician.” Capt. Clinton laughed loudly. "Optical captivation is good!" Turn ing to his sergeant he asked: “What do you think of that. Maloney?” Serg* Maloney ch;: titled “It's a new one. ch?" "No. captain—it's a very old one," interrupted the lawyer sternly, “but ■ it’s new to us. We're barely on the threshold of the discovery It cer tainly explains these other cases, doesn't it?” ’ “1 don t know that it does.” object ed the captain, shaking his head. “I don't acknowledge—" Judge Brewster sat down. Booking the policeman squarely in the tace, - he said slowly and deliberately: "Capt Clinton, whether you ae ; knowledge it or not. I can prove that ; you 0b'aiDod these confessions by 1 moans of hypnotic suggestion, and ! that is a greater crime against society than any the state punishes or pave j you to prevent.” " The captain laughed and shrugged ! his shoulders. Indifferently he said: j “I guess the boys up at Albany can | deal with 'hat question.” j "The boys up at Albany.” retorted the lawyer, "know as little about the I laws of psychology as yon do. This i will be dealt with at Washington!” The captain yawned. "I didn't come here to hear about t that—you were going to produce the woman who called on Underwood the night of the murder—that was w hat I came here for—not to bear my meth ods criticised—where is she?" “One thing at a time," replied the judge "First. 1 wanted to show voi that we know Howard Jeffries' con fession is untrue. Now well take uj the other question." Striking a bell on his desk, he added: “This wemar can prove that Robert Underwooc committed suicide." "She can. eh?” exclaimed the cap tain sarcastically. "Maybe she did it ; herself. Some one did it. that's sure!’ The library door opened and the 1 butler entered "Yes. some one did it!” retorted the judge; "we agree there!" To the servant he said: "Ask Mrs Jeffries Jr., to come here.” The servant left the room and the ; captain turned to the judge with s i laugh: "Is she the one? Ha! ha!—that'* j easy—" l ne Judge nodded. "She has promised to produce the missing witness to-night." "She has. eh?” exclaimed the cap tain Rising quickly from his chair, be crossed the room and talked in an undertone with his sergeant This new turn in the case seemed to inter est him. Meantime Mr. Jeffries, whc had followed every phase of the ques tioning with close attention, left his seat and went over to Judge Brewster "Is it possible.” he exclaimed, "is it possible that Underwood shot him self? I never dreamed of doubt ing Howard's confession!" More cordially he went on: “Brewster, if this U true, 1 owe yeu a debt of gratitude— you’ve done splendid work—I—I'm afraid I’ve been just a trifle obstinate.’ "Just a trifle," said the judge dryly. Sergeant Maloney took his bat. “Hurry up!” said the captain, "you can telephone from the corner drug store.” “All right, cap." Dr. Bernstein also rose to depart. “1 must go. Mr. Brewster; 1 have an appointment at the hospital.” The judge grasped his hand warmly. “Thank you. doctor!" he exclaimed; *T don’t know what I should have done without you." “Thank you, sir!” chimed in the banker; “I am greatly indebted to you." “Don’t mention it,” replied tha psychologist almost ironically. He went out and the banker im patiently took out bis watch. “It’s getting late!” be exclaimed; “where is this girl. I have no faith in her promises!" As he spoke the library door opened and Annie appeared. (TO BE CONTINUED.! Had No Opinion. An attorney said to an Irishman, his client: “Why don’t you pay me that money.

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA CAJKE FROM TEETHING "When my little girl was about eight months old. she was taken with a very irritating breaking out. which came on her face, neck and back. When she first came down with it. it came in little watery-iike festers under her eyes, and on her chin, then after a few days it would dry down in scaly, white scabs. In the daytime she was quite worrisome and would dig and scratch her face nearly all the time. “I consulted our physician and found 6he was suffering from eczema, which he said came from her teething. ! used the ointment he gave me and without any relief at all.

Left Him Far Behind. Childish standards of greatness are interesting—perhaps because they are at once so like yet so unlike the standards of grown folk.
