CHAPTER XVIII.

As Annie entered the room and
caught sight OF Mr.. Jetries. she IN
stinctiyely drew back. Just at that
moment the banker was, perhaps. the
one man in the world whom she was
most anxious TO avoid. Capt. Clinton
no longer had any terror for her. Now
that the missing witness had been
found and the precious suicide let.

woman who wished to do what was
right and had agreed to do SO. but
who, in the privacy of her own apart

and begged Annie to protect her from
the consequences OF her own folly.
Her husband must not know. Annie
had promised that II there was any
way possible the knowledge OF that
clandestine midnight visit to Under.
woods rooms should be kept from
him. Yet there stood the banker.
She ives afraid that II they began
questioning her in his presence she
might be betrayed into saying some
thing that would instantly arouse his
suspicious.
Judge Brewster went quickly for
ward as she came in and led her to q
chair. Capt. Clinton and Mr. JeHriss
eyed her in stolid silence. Looking
around in nervous kind Of way, An.
ME said quietly to the Judge:

Certainly" replied the lawyer.
He was about to draw her aside
when Capt Clinton interfered.
One moment" he said grumy; If
this is all open and above board. as
you say 1t is. Judged like to ask
the young lady a few questions.
Certainly. by all means said the
Judge quickly.
The captain turned and confronted
Annie. Addressing her in his GUS
tomary aggressive manner, he said:
You promised Judge Brewster that
you'd produce the woman who called
at Underwood's apartment the night
Of the shooting?" Annie made no
reply. but looked at the lawyer. The
captain grinned as he added: The
witness wants instructions, Judge"
You can be perfectly frank. Mrs.
Jerries." said the lawyer reassuringly.
We have no desire to conceal any
thing from Capt Clinton"
Annie bowed.
Yea" she said slowly; Il promised
Judge Brewster that she would come
here tonight"
Did she promise TO conner rowled
the captain.
Yes"

Annie hesitated q moment and
glanced at Mr.. JenrIes. Then she
said hesitntingly:

HEPBURN STOOD ALONE.
His "BIoody Shirt Sentiment Found
No Support in the Senate.

Washington. Feb. S--Though dis
claiming any intention of waving the
"bloody shirt" Senator Hepburn of
Idaho made the closing hour of the
senate session very lively yesterday by
denunciation of the Confederacy and
of the men who had fought against
the Union during the Civil war.
In the cause he advocated, however,
he lacked followers, for when the vote
by roll call was taken at the conclu-
sion Of his speech he found that he
alone raised his voice against the
measure under consideration, which
was the loaning of government tents
for the use of Confederate veterans at
their annual reunion in Mobile. Ala.
next April. No senator responded to
Senator Heyburn's denunciatioa. When
he concluded Senator Bankhead of
Alabama said simply:
! 81 am sure the senator from Idaho
feels much better and 1 ask for
vote"
Every senator. Republican as well
as Democrat, save Senator Hepburn.
voted to grant the use of the tents.
During his speech Senator Hepburn
also referred to Virginia's choice of
Robert E. Lee as one of her sons.
whose memory she delighted to honor
by placing his statue in the capitol.
The Idaho senator condemned Vir-
ginias action. expressing the view that
that "exists today as it existed in the
sixties"
He called upon those who had sent
the statue to the capitol "to come and
take it away; it may be dear to you,
but it is not dear to us"

He says that at that moment something
knocked him down and he does not re-

was secured as he lay in she RoSser

At that time he complained of a

New York, Feb s.-The paper
board association. made up of about
forty paper b ard manufacturing cor
porations, which was indicted some
months ago by the federal grand jury
on the charge of being an illegal COM
bination In restraint of trade, pleaded
guilty to the charge. James NJ. Beck,
armed with a power of attorney from
the association, entered the plea of
guilty on behalf of all the defendants
in the United States circuit court.
Judge Hough said the charge was
the same as tat against the fibre and
manila paper association. upon. each
of the members of which ne had i'm
posed fines OF two thousand dollars

impose similar fines in this instance,
namely, $4,000 against each of the de-
PENDANTS. At the request of United
States Attorney Wise that portion of
the Indictment against the individual
defendants was nolle pressed. The
indictment, among other things, stated
that because of this Illegal combina-
tion the association levied an annual
tax of s5,0OO.O00 a year on the people
of the country
