insolence.
Judge Brewster held up a restrain

dignity.
mo, l guess I'll let him talk. Go
on, captain she said with a smile,
as If thoroughly enjoying the situa-
ton.
Alicia came forward, her face pale,
but on 1t a look of determination. as
If she had quite made up her mind as
to what course to pursue. In her
hand was Underwood's letter. Ad-
dressing Annie, she said, with emo
tion:
"The truth must come out sooner or
later"
Seeing what she was about to do,
Annie quickly put out her hand to
stop her. She expected the bankers
wife to do her duty, she had insisted
that she must, but now she was ready
to do 1t, she realized what it was cost
ing her. Her position, her future hap
piness were at stake. 1t was too great
sacrifice. Perhaps there was some
other way.
mo, no, not yet" she whispered.
But Alicia brushed her aside and,
thrusting the letter into the hand of
the astonished police captain, she
said:
Eyes, nowl Read that, captain!"
Capt. Clinton slowly .unfolded the
letter. Alicia collapsed in a chair.
Annie stood by helpless, but trying to
collect her wits. The judge watched
the scene with amazement, not under
standing. The captain read from the
letter:

I? Do you understand what the let
ter means to me?"
Have pity" cried the banker
wife, almost beside herself. "You can
tell them when I'm out of the coun-
try. Don't ask me to make this sac
rifice now-don't ask me-dont!"'
Annie was beginning to lose pa
tience. The woman's selfishness an
gered her. With irritation, she said
You've lost your nerve. and you
don't know what you're saying How
ards life comes before you-me-or
anybody. You know that"
"Yes-yes." cried Alicia desperate
ly, Il know that. I'm only asking you
to wait. II ought to have left this
morning-that's what l should have
done-gone at once. Now it's toe
late, unless you help me-"
I'll help you all can" replied the
other doggedly, but I've promised
Judge Brewster to clear up this mat
ter tonight"
Suddenly there was a commotion al
the door. Capt. Clinton entered, fol
lowed by Detective Sergeant Maloney
Alicia shrank back in alarm.
II thought Judge Brewster was
here" said the captain, glancing sus
piciously round the room.
III send for him." said Annie
touching a bell.
We'll, where's your mysterious wit

He looked curiously at Alicia.
This is Mrs. Howard Jeffries, Sr.,'

SON"
Then where is she?" he demanded
angrily. Annie made no answer, but
looked for advice to Judge Brewster,
who at that instant entered the room.
The captain glared at her viciously,
and unable to longer contain his
wrath, he beloved:
"Tll tell you where she is! She
right here in this room!" Pointing
his finger at Annie in theatrical fash
ion, he went on furiously: Annie JEFF

don't hesitate to say so. I've said SO
all along, haven't l, Maloney?"
Yes, you told the newspapers so,
retorted Annie dryly.
Taking no notice of her remark, the
captain clustered:
I've got your record, young wom
an! l know all about you and your
folks. You knew the two men when
they were at college. You knew Un

quaintance Of young Jeffries. 1t was

to be courteous when it suited his
purpose. He had heard enough of the
wealthy bankers aristocratic wife to
treat her with respect.
BEG pardon, nm; / wanted to tell

The servant entered.
Tell Judge Brewster that Capt
Clinton is going" said Annie.
Alicia, meantime, was once more
on the verge of collapse. The long
threatened expose was now at hand
In another moment the Judge and per
haps her husband would come in, and
Annie would hand them the letter
which exculpated her husband. There
was a moment of terrible suspense.
Annie stood aloof, her eyes fixed on
the floor. Suddenly, without uttering
a word, she drew Underwood's letter
from her bosom, and quickly approach
ing Alicia, placed it unnoticed in her
hand. The bankers wife flushed and
then turned pale. She understood.
Annie would spare her. Her lips
parted to protest. Even she was taken

A trixf package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills Will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD d
jefferson Sts., Philadelphia. Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail 70
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
MUNYON'S Paw Paw Pills are unlike
ell other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe. they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects y>onstipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. IL
, ] had my way / would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
TO the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead OF impoverish
it; they enable the stomach TO get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These <pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

at does stun one, doesn't it?" went
on Annie. you can't think when it
comes all of sudden like this. It's
just the way felt the morning they
showed me Howards confession"
Prison! Prison." walled Alicia.
Annie tried to console her.
"Not for long," she said soothingly;
'you can get bail. It's only matter
of favor-Judge Brewster would get
you out right away"
Get me OUT" cried Alicia distract
edly. "My God. | can't go to prison!
l can't. That's too much. I've done
nothing! Look-read this!" Handing
over Underwood's letter, she went on:
You can see for yourself. The wretch
frightened me into such a state of
mind that I hardly knew what | was
doing-I went to his rooms to save
him. That's the truth, l swear to
God! But do you suppose anybody
will believe me on oath? They'll
they'll"
Almost hysterical, she no longer
knew what she was saying or doing.
She collapsed utterly, and sinking
down in a chair, gave way to a pas
sionate fit of sobbing. Annie tried to
quiet her:
"Hush!" she said gently, don't go
on like that. Be brave. Perhaps it
won't be as bad as you think" She
unfolded the letter Alicia had given
her and carefully read 1t through.
When she had finished her face lit up
with joy Enthusiastically she cried
This is great for Howard, What
blessing you didn't destroy it! What
wretch, what hound to write you
like that! Poor soul, of course, you
went and begged him not to do It.!
I'd have gone myself, but think I'd
have broken an umbrella over his head
or something Gee! these kind of fel-
lows breed trouble, don't they? Alive
or dead, they breed trouble! What
can we do?"
Alicia rose. Her tears had disap-
peared. There was look of fixed re-
solve in her eyes.
Howard must be cleared" she said,
"and l must face it-alone!"
You'll be alone all right" said An
ME thoughtfully. "Mr. Jeffries will do
as much for you as he did for his
son."
Noticing that her companion seemed
hurt by her frankness, she changed
the topic.
Honest to God!" she exclaimed
good-naturedly, I'm broken-hearted-
I'll do anything to save you from this

means-I've had my dose of 1t. But

trembling hand. she went on: Give

Looking anxiously into her compan-
ions face, she pleaded: You'll trust
