establishment and Indignation. "of
course not"
"Sure?" demanded the captain. eye
ing her narrowly.
Positive" said Annie firmly.
The captain looked puzzled.
"A oma called here last night to
see him." he said ~thoughtfully. and
l 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

elevator attendant. entered the room.
The captain pointed to Annie.

Annie arose and moved toward the
door. She had no time to waste
there. Every moment now was pre-

said:
IF you've no further use for me.

Just one moment. Mrs. Jeffries.'
he said.
The face OF the elevator boy sud
denly frightened up.
That's It," he said eagerly. That's
it-Jeffries. 1 think that was the
name she gave, sir"
"Who?" demanded the captain.

other lady. / think she said Jeffries,
or Jenkins, or something like that"
The captain waved his hand toward
the door

The boy went out AND the captain
turned round II Annie.

about you-your husband would stand
some chance" Patronizingly he
added. Come. Mrs. Jeffries. you'd bet
you who to go to-"
Annie drew herself up. and with
dignity said:
Thanks, I'm going to the best law
yer l can get. Not one of those court
room politicians recommended by .
police captain. l am going to Richard
Brewster. He's the mar He'll soon

Refiectively she added: "If my father
had had Judge Brewster to defend him
instead Of a legal shark, he'd never
have been %railroaded to Jail. He'd be
alive today"
Capt. Clinton guffawed loudly. The
idea of ex-Judge Brewster taking the
case seemed to amuse him hugely.

ly. You'd never be able to get
Brewster. Firstly, he's too expensive.
Secondly. he's old man Jeffries' law

turning toward the door, she asked:
