CHAPTER xI.

Unable to control herself any
longer, Annie broke down completely
and burst into tears. When the door
opened and she saw her husband led
away, pale and trembling, between
those two burly policemen, it was as
if all she cared for on earth had
gone out of her life forever. Capt.
Clinton laid his hand gently on her
shoulder. With more sympathy in his
face than was his custom to display,
he said:
Now, little woman-'tain't no kind
of use carrying on like that! If you
want to help your husband and get
him out Of his trouble you want to
get busy. Sitting there crying your
eyes out won't do him any good"
Annie threw up her head. Her eyes
were red, but they we're dry now. Her
face was set and determined. The
captain was right. Only foolish WON

Clinton turned to look at Annie, who
had been waiting patiently IN the
background. Her anguish on seeing
Towards condition was unspeakable.
1t was only with difficulty that she re-
strained herself from crying out n
rushing to his side. But these stern,
uniformed men intimidated her. 1t
seemed to her that Howard was on
trial-a prisoner-perhaps his life was
In danger. What could he have done?
OF course, he was innocent, whatever
the charge was. He wouldn't harm a
fly. She was sure of that. But every
n looked so grave, and there was a
big crowd gathered in front of the
hotel when she came up. She thought
she had heard the terrible word "mur-
der" but surely there was some mis-
take. Seeing Capt. Clinton turn in
her direction, she darted eagerly for
ward.

would have fallen.

To Be Agreeable.

1t requires tact and Judgment, as We
all know, to decide when it is best to
talk and when to listen. In the pres
ence of men and women Of superior
talents and accomplishments, or Of
wide experience of the world, we must
be wary and not let III vanity run
away with us. To such persons we
may not be able to afford intellectual
stimulus, and therefore it will be well
to avoid giving giving our opinions at
length, unless these are called for.
With men and women OF small talent
and accomplishment we must also
be on our guard, lest they find us d.
dactic and wearisome. It Is with ouI
intellectual equals, or with persons oil
a generous disposition who like to
draw out the talents Of others, that
we feel the greatest freedom and at
tain the happiest results.-Harper'I
Bazaar.

looked against him. She would not
leave a stone unturned till she had
regained for him his liberty. With
renewed hope in her heart and reso-
luton in her face, she turned to con-

What has he done?" she demanded.

He watched her face closely to see
what effect his words would have on
her.

| claimed Annie with more surprise
than emotion.
"Yes," said the captain sternly,
and your husband, Howard JeffrieS,
killed him."
That's not true! I'd W. believe
that" said Annie promptly.
Hes made a full confession" went
on the captain.
"A confession!" she echoed uneasi-
ly. "What do you mean?"
Just what l say. Your husband
has made a full confession in the
presence of witnesses, that he came
here to Underwood's rooms to ask
for money. They quarreled. Your
husband drew a pistol and shot him.
He has signed a confession which will
be presented to the magistrate this
morning"
Annie looked staggered for a mo-
ment, but her faith in her husband
was unshakeable. Almost Historically
she cried:
81 don't believe it. l don't believe
it. You may have tortured him into
signing something. Everybody knows
your methods, Capt. Clinton. But

BY this time Annie had recovere
her self-possession. She knew tina
the best way to help Howard was t
y keep cool and to say nothing whic
y was likely to injure his cause. Boldly
therefore, she answered:

The captain shifted ~uneasily in hi

Where was that?"

up at the college, Ell? How long
have you known Mr.. Underworld"
Annie looked at her inquisitor and
said nothing, She wondered what he
vas driving at, what Importance the
question had to the case. Finally she
said:
81 met him once or twice up at New
Haven, but I've never seen him since
my marriage to MI. Jeffries. My hus'
band and he were not very good
friends. That is"
She stopped, realizing that she had
made a mistake. How foolish she had
been! The police, Of course, were
anxious to show that there vas Ill
feeling between the two men. Her
heart misgave her as she saw the
look of satisfaction in the captains
face.
"Ah!" he exclaimed. Not very

COMMERCIAL CLUBBUSY
Considering Many Matters That Will
Tend to Develop the Commercial
Life of st. Johnsbury.

An unusually Interesting meeting
of the executive committee of the
Commercial Club was held at its
rooms in the Y. M. G. A. last Satur-
day. While no definite action was
taken several methods for advertis-
ing st. Johnsbury were discussed
and it seems likely that plan for an
attractive folder will soon be worked
out.
A report was also made to the
committee that interested parties
from the outside were still anxious
that something be done regarding
the construction of modern hotel
here and the committee having the
matter N charge was instructed to
attempt to get the proposition into
tangible shape.
The matter of having the streets
oiled was also discussed. 1t was
learned that the village trustees are
planning to oil portion of Main
street in the near future. So the
matter will not be agitated further
until the experiment has been tried.
Railroad Men Express Themselves.
