CHAPTER XII.

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, 1t 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! II 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 were dry now Her
face was set and determined The
captain was right. Only foolish wom-
en- weep and wall when misfortune
knocks at their door. The right sort
of women go bravely out and make
fight for liberty and honor. Howard
was innocent. She was convinced OF
that, no matter how black things
looked against him. She would not
leave 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-
front the captain.
What has he done?" she demanded
KILLED his friend, Robert Under
wood"
He watched her face closely to see
what effect his words would have on
her.
Robert Underwood dead!" ex-
claimed Annie with more surprise
than emotion.
YES" said the captain sternly,
land your husband. Howard Jeffries,
killed him.
That's not true I'd never believe
that" said Annie promptly
Hes made full confession" went
on the captain.
"A confession" she echoed uneasi-
ly What do you mean?"
Gust what | 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 confession which will
be presented to the magistrate this
morning"
Annie looked staggered for mo-
ment. but her faith in her husband
was unshakeable. Almost Historically
she cried:

you go I'd like to ask you few ques-

He waved her to chair and he sat
opposite her.

couragingly. tell me-did you ever
hear your husband threaten Howard

BY this time Annie had recovered
her self-possession. She knew that
the best way to help Howard was to
keep cool and to say nothing which
was likely to injure his cause. Boldly.

The captain shifted uneasily in his
seat. He knew she was within her
legal right. He couldn't bully her
into saying anything that would in
criminate her husband.

to assist the authorities, to-" he
stammered awkwardly.

calmly. Thank you, understand my

you know" said the captain with af-
fected POPULARITY. He has confessed
to the shooting"
Il don't believe it," she said en-
phatically.
Trying different tack. he asked
carelessly
did you know Mr.. Underworld"
She hesltated before replying. then
indifferently she said:
Yes, l knew him at one time. He
introduced me to my husband"
Where was that?"
In New Haven. Conn"
Up at the college, Ell? How long
have you known Mr.. Underwood
Annie looked at her inquisitor and
said nothing. She wondered what he
question had to the case. Finally she
said:
Il met him once or twice up at New
Haven, but I've never seen him since
my marriage to Mr.. Jeffries. My hus-
band and he were not very good
friends. That is"
She stopped, realizing that she had
made mistake. How foolish she had
been! The police. of course, we're
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 s
face.
All" he exclaimed Not very
good friends, Ell? 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
Underworld"
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. l refuse to answer

Crossing the room to where Howard
sat, Dr. Bernstein looked closely at
him. Apparently the prisoner was
