Judge Brewster looked skeptical
but made no further comment. The
banker rose and Alicia followed suit
AS he moved toward the door, he
turned and said

Brewster. Mrs Jeffries will be de

Alicia smiled graciously. do come

The lawyer bent low over her hand
as he said good-by. Mr. Jeffries had
already reached the door. when he
turned again and said:
Are you sure very liberal offer
wouldn't induce her to drop the
name?"
The lawyer shook his head doubt.
fully.
We'll. see what you can do" cried
the banker. To his wife he said:
Are you coming, Alicia?"
Just moment, DEAR" she replied.
Il want to say word to the Judge"
"All right" replied the banker. "Tll
be outside" He opened the door. and
as he did so he turned to the lawyer:
"If there are any new developments
let me know at once"
He left the Office and Alicia breathed
Il sigh of relief She did not love her
husband, but she feared him. He
was not only 20 years her senior, but
his cold. aristocratic manner intimi-
dated her. Her first impulse had been
to tell him everything, but she dare
not. His manner discouraged her. He
would begin to ask questions, ques-
tions which she could not answer
without seriously discriminating her
self. But her conscience would not
allow her to stand entirely aloof from
the tragedy in which her husbands
scapegrace son was involved. She
felt strange, unaccountable desire to
meet this girl Howard had married.
In a quick undertone to the lawyer.
she said:
Il must see that woman, judge. l
think l can persuade her to change
her course of action. In any case /
must see her. 1 must Looking at
him questioningly, she said: "You
don't think 1t inadvisable, do you?"
The Judge smiled grimly.

said. Suppose you come back a lit
tie later. It's more than probable that
she'll be here this afternoon. I'll
see her and arrange for an interview. .
There was knock at the door, and
Alicia started guiltily, thinking her
husband might have overheard their
conversation. The head clerk entered
and whispered something to the Judge
after which he retired. The lawyer
turned to Alicia with smile.
Its just as thought" he said
pleasantly, she's out there now
You'd better go and leave her to me-
The door opened again unceremon

head:

CHAPTER XIV.

Annie entered the presence of the
famous lawyer pale and ilf at ease.
This sudden summons to Judge
Brewster's private Office was so unex-
pected that it came like shock For
days she had haunted the premises,
sitting in the outer Office for hours at
time exposed to the stare and
covert smiles of thoughtless clerks
and office boys. Her requests for an
interview had been met with curt re-
fusals. They either said the Judge
was out of town or else that he was
too busy to be SEEN At last, evil
IDENTIFY acting upon orders. they fat
ly refused to even send in her namey
and she had about abandoned hope
when. all at once. a clerk approached
her and addressing her more politely
than usual, said that the judge would
see her in few minutes.
Her heart gave great throb. AL
most speechless from surprise, she
stammered faint thanks and braced
herself for the interview on which so
much depended. For the first time
since the terrible affair had happened,
there was faint glimmer of hope
ahead. If only she could rush over
to the Tombs and tell Howard the
joyful news so he might keep up cour-
age! 1t was eight days now since
Howard's arrest, and the trial would
take place in six weeks. There was
still time to prepare strong defense
If the judge would only consent to
take the case. She was more sure
than ever that clever lawyer would
have no difficulty in convincing a jury
that Howard's alleged confession
was untrue and improperly obtained.
In the intervals of waiting to see
the lawyer. she had consulted every
one she knew, and among others she
had talked with DR.. Bernstein, the
noted psychologist. whom she had
seen once at Yale. He received her
kindly and listened attentively to her
story. When she had finished he had
evinced the greatest interest. He
told her that he happened to be the
physician called in on the night Of the
tragedy, and at that time he had
grave doubts as to it being case OF
murder. He believed It was suicide,
and he had told Capt. Clinton SO, but
the police captain had made up his
mind. and that was the end Of it.
Howard's confession" he went on.
really meant nothing. II called to the

said. he would gladly come to her
aid.

The banker threw up his hands with
fmpatience.

With a mocking laugh he went on:
Sentimentality doesn't appeal to me.
The whole thing Is distasteful and
hideous to me. My Instructions to you
