Clinton turned to look at Annie, who
background. Her anguish on seeing
Howard's condition was unspeakable
1t was only. with difficulty that she re-
strained herself from crying out and
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
one 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.
May I speak to him, sir? He is
my husband"
not unkindly. It's against the rules.
Wait till we get him to the Tombs.
You can see him all you want there" T"
Annie's heart sank. Could she have
heard Alright?
"The Tombs!" she faltered. "Is
the charge so serious?"
"Murder-thats ALL" replied the
captain laconically.
Annie nearly swoomed. Had she
not caught the back of a 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 Delaney 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 a 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
blurted 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.

The impossible.

Andrew Carnegie, at a recent din
ner in New York, said of certain
labor trouble:
1T is silly of employers to pretend
in these troubles that they are always
in the right. Employers are often
In the wrong; often unreasonable.
They often-like Mrs. Smith-Jones-
ask impossible things:
Mrs. Smith-Jones, taking a villa
at Palm Beach, engaged for butler a
stately old colored deacon.
Now, Clay she said to the old
fellow, there are two things l must
insist upon-truthfulness and obedi-
ence.'

$4,000 IN ONE YEAR
THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
SuRPASSES ALL RECORD.

The returns recently issued by the
Canadian immigration Branch shows
that upwards of 325,000 persons ar
rived in Canada during the past
twelve months, declaring their inten-
tion OF becoming settlers in that coun-
try. or this number about 13O, 900
were from the United States, the bal
ance being from the British Isles and
Northern Europe. 1t will thus be seen
that the sturdy farming element that
has gone forward from the United
States is being splendidly supplement-
ed by an equally sturdy settlement
from across the seas. The lure OF
Canadian wheat, oats, barley and fax
grown op the rich prairie of Western
Canada is constantly attracting more
and more, and year by year the tide
or immigrants to the Western Canada
plains increases; there is no ebb to
this tide. The Canadian authorities
are not surprised at the number from
the United States being as large as it
is but they did not look for so large an
immigration from the old countries.
Still, they will not be found unpre-
pared. Reception halls are in readi-
ness at all important points In Mani
toba. Saskatchewan and Alberta, sur
veyors were at work during the past
season opening up new districts on
which to place those seeking free
homesteads of 160 acres each, rail-
ways have been projecting laterals
from their main lines, and every pro-
vision has been taken to accommo-
date the newcomer. A recent dis
patch from Antwerp reads: THE d.
version OF European emigration from
the United States to Canada is said
to be seriously affecting the Atlantic
steamship lines. The Red Star today
gives up to the AmericaC Canada line
two of the best special emigrant
steamers afioat, the Gothland and the
Samland. These vessels heretofore
in the Antwerp-New York service are
now to be operated from Rotterdam to
Canadian ports"
On the date Of the above dispatch
word came to the Immigration branch
that the Vanguard of the 1911 army
Of United States settlers reached Win
nipeg at 1880 o'clock this morning.
There was a solid train load of ef-
fects, comprising Al carloads and two
colonist sleepers attached to the train.
which contained the members of %
families. Every man Jack in the
party is skilled farmer, and all have
come north prepared to go right on
the land, which was purchased last
year. They are equipped with every.
thing that experience has shown ia
necessary to make a start on virgin
prairie. In addition to machinery and
household effects there were a large
number of horses and cattle. Some of
the farmers had also brought along
gas tractors, which will be put rigLf
to work on ground breaking"
One Of the agents of the Canadian
government advises that it would APP
pear as if each month of the present
year would show large increase over
the past year. The demand for the
literature of the department, describ-
ing the country and its resources, is
greater than 1t ever has been.

CHAPTER x.-Continued.

Annie sat timidiy on chair in the
background and the captain turned
again to the doctor

tori"
You tell me the man confessed?"
Crossing the room to where Howard
sat, DR.. Bernstein looked closely at
him. Apparently the prisoner was
asleep. His eyes were closed and his
head dropped forward on his chest.
'He was CHASTITY pale.
The captain grinned
Yes, sir, confessed-in the pres
ence of three witnesses. Eth, SER
geant.? ?"
"Yes, sir" replied Maloney.
You heard him, too, didn't you, De-
laney?"
Yes, captain"
Squaring his huge shoulders. the
captain said with a selfsatisfied
chuckle:
1T took us five hours to get him to
own up, but we got it out of him at
last"
The doctor was still busy with his
examination.
He seems to be asleep. Worn out,
l guess. Five hours, yes-thats your
method, captain" Shaking his head,
he went on: II don't believe In these
all-night examinations and your third
degree mental torture. 1t is bar
barous. When a man is nervous and
frightened his brain gets so benumbed

know, captain, that after a certain
time the law of suggestion commences

The captain turned to his sergeant
and laughed:
"The law of suggestion? Ha, ha!
That's good one! You know, doctor,
them theories OF yours make a hit
with college students and amateur
professors, but they don't go with us.
You can't make a man say yes when
he wants to say no"
DR.. Bernstein smiled.
81 don't agree with you," he said.
You can make him say anything, or
believe anything-or do anything if
he is unable to resist your will"
The captain burst into a hearty peal
of laughter.
"Ha, ha! What's the use of
chinnin'? We've got him to rights. /

say that my precinct amt cleaned up.

4 faint smile lowered about the
doctors face.
Il know your reputation" he said
sarcastically.
The captain thought the doctor was
fattering him, so he rubbed his hands
with satisfaction, as he replied:
That's right. I'm after results.
None of them Psyche themes for
mine" Striding over to the armchair
where sat Howard. he laid a rough
hand on his shoulder.
Hey, Jeffries, wake up"
Howard opened his eyes and stared
stupidity about him. The captain took
him by the collar OF his coat.
"Come-stand up. Brace up now!"
Turning to Sergeant Maloney, he
added, Take him over to the station.
Write out that confession and make
him sign 1t before breakfast. I'll be
right over"
Howard struggled to his feet and
Maloney helped him arrange his COL
lar and tie. officer Delaney clapped
his hat on his head. DR.. Bernstein
turned to go.
"Good-morning, captain. I'll make

A conscientious, hard-working and
successful clergyman writes: Il am
glad to bear testimony to the pleasure
and increased measure OF efficiency
and health that have come to me from
adopting Grape-Nuts food as one Of
my articles of diet.
For several years l was much dis
tressed during the early part Of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast
seemed to turn sour and failed to di-
gest. After dinner the headache and
other symptoms following the break
fast would wear away, only to return,
however, next morning.
Having heard of Grape-Nuts food, I
finally concluded to give it a trial. 1
made my breakfasts of Grape-Nuts

and total absence Of the distress that
had, for so long time, followed the

satisfactory, the headaches ceased, and
the old feeling of energy returned.

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-
front the captain.
What has he done?" she demanded.

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,
''and your husband, Howard Jeffries,
killed him. .
That's not true! I'd never believe
that" said Annie promptly
He's made a full confession" went
on the captain.

opposite her.

BY this time Annie had a.<covered
her self-possession. She Knew that
the best way to help Howard was to
keep cool and to say nothing which
was likely 20 injure his cause. Boldly,
therefore, she answered:
You've no right to ask me that

into saying anything that would in

"In New Haven, Conn"
up at the college. eh? How long
have you known Mr.. Underworld"
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:
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, 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 s
face
"Ah!" he exclaimed. Not very

band didn't like him, did he?"
He didn't like him well enough to
run after him." she replied hesitat-
ingly.

other direction.

picious of every question. She was
on her guard.

No, he was not jealous. There was
