Underworld"

Underwood"
By this time Annie had recovered
her self-possession. She knew that
the best way to help Howard was to
keep cool and to say nothing which
was likely 20 injure his cause. Boldly,
therefore, she answered:
You've no right to ask me that
question
The captain shifted uneasily III his
seat. He knew she was within her
legal right. He couldn't bully her
into saying anything that would in
criminate her husband
Il merely thought you would like
to assist the authorities, to" he
stammered awkwardly
ITO convict my husband" she said
calmly. Thank you. understand my
position"
You can't do him very much harm.
you know" said the captain with af-
fected POPULARITY. He has confessed
to the shooting"
Il don't believe IT," she said en-
phatically
Trying a different tack, he asked
carelessly:
did you know Mr.. Underworld"
She hesitated before replying, then
indifferently she said:
yes, knew him at one time He
introduced me to my husband"
Where was that?"
I'm New Haven, Conn"
up at the college, Ell? How long
have you known Mr. Underwood"
Annie looked at her inquisitor and
said nothing She wondered what he
was driving at, what Importance the
question had to the case Finally she
said:
L met him once or twice up at New
Haven, but I've never seen him since
my marriage to Mr. Jef7ries. My hus-
band and he were not very good
friends That is"
She stopped, realizing that she had
made mistake. How foolish she had
been! The police, of course, were
anxious to show that there was ill
feeling between the two men. Her
heart misgaye her as she saw the
look of satisfaction in the captains
face.
Ali" he exclaimed Not very
good friends, eh? In 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.
The captain now started of in an
other direction.
Was your husband ever jealous of
Underworld"
By this time Annie had grown sus-
picious of every question She was
on her guard
Jealous? What do you mean?
No, he was not jealous There was
never any reason. l refuse to answer
any more questions
The captain rose and began to pace
the floor
There's one little thing more, Mrs.

Dry Shampoo Better

the action of the alkali in the soap
especially the alkali-tend to make the
