In Coronation Period.

London.-Dealers in antiques in and
around st. James, where ancient ar
ticles of fabulous value repose In the
shop windows, cabinets and store
rooms, are preparing for record sea-
son on account of the coronations
Representatives of all the dealers
are securing the country for articles
of vertu which they think may find a
purchaser among the throngs of Wis
itors who will be In London this sum-
mer. There Is one dealer who is pre-
pared to purchase collections at q
figure as high as $250,000, and he es-
Inmates that antiques Of total value

would not amount to more than $780,
100000 he added, "but this season
we expect exceptionally big prices,
owing to the huge demand for an
tiques, and we can afford to offer a
higher purchase price,"
The articles principally in, demand
are porcelain and China bearing the
imprint of the factories of Chelsea,
Worcester, Plymouth, Derby, Bristol,
Dresden and Sevres.
The fact that the kings name Is

for Georgian antiques. Furniture of
the Georgian era Is expected to COM

among collectors inclines toward that
period now With Americans and
colonials English antiques are more
popular than the foreign antiques

she had heard the terrible word muir
der" but surely there was some mis-
take. Seeing Capt. Clinton turn in
her direction, she darted eagerly for
ward.
May | speak to him, sir? He is
my husband"
mot just now" replied the captain,
not unkindly. Its against the rules.
Wait till we get him to the Tombs.
You can see him all you want there. :
Annie's heart sank Could she have
heard Alright?
''The Tombs!" she faltered. "Is
the charge so serious?"
"Murder-that's ALL" replied the
captain laconically.
Annie nearly swoomed. Had she
not caught the back of chair she
would have fallen.
The captain turned to Maloney and,
in low tone, said:
Quick! Get him over to the sta
ton. We don't want any family
scenes here"
Manacled to officer Deganey and
escorted on the other side by Ma
loney, Howard made his way toward
the door. Just as he reached it he
caught sight of his wife who, with
tears streaming down her cheeks
was watching him as if in dream
To her it seemed like some hideous
nightmare from which both would
soon awaken. Howard recognized
her, yet seemed too dazed to wonder
how she came there. He simply
bllrted out as he passed:
Something's happened, Annie, dear
I-Underwood-I don't quite know
The policemen pushed him through
the door, which closed behind him.

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

She stopped, realizing that she had
made mistake. How foolish she had
been! The police, of course, were
anxious to show that there was i'll
feeling between the two men. Her
heart misgave her as she saw the
look of satisfaction in the captain
face.
"Ah!" he exclaimed mot 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 off in an
other direction.
WAS your husband ever jealous Of

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 refuse to answer
any more questions"
The captain rose and began to pace
the floor.
There's one little thing more, Mrs.
Jeffries, and then you can go. You

ing her narrowly.
Positive" said Annie firmly.
The captain looked puzzled.
"a woman called here last night to
see him. he said thoughtfully, "and

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 boy looked carefully, and then
shook his head
Don't think so-no, sir. The other
lady was great swell"
You're sure, eh?" said the captain.
Il think So" answered the boy
do you remember the name she
gave?"
NO, sir, replied the boy. Eyer

Annie arose and moved toward the
door. She had no time to waste
there. Every moment now was pre-.
cious. She must get legal assistance
at once. Turning to Capt. Clinton, she
said:
