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,
therefore, she answered:

into saying anything that would in

Good ErIdav.

Be hushed. my heart, remembering
What dole was given for thee.
How pressed on him thy burden, when,
For all the sinful sons of men,
Christ went to Calvary.
The mournful journey that he made,
Each step was taken for thee,
Be hushed. nv heart let clamor cease;
Prepare a chamber white with peace,
His resting place to be.
In solemn shadow OF the cross,
o soul, abide till he
Who tasted death ere thou shouldst kuow
Its bitterness of utmost woe
With strength shall guerdon thee.
It's Via Dolorosa still
Each life OF earth must see,
And in some hour, or soon or late,
Must bend beneath the crushing Wight
OF earth's Qethsemane.
But, heart, In love and prayer look up
Beyond the awesome tree;
The heaven of heavens Is reft today
All angels march the starry way
That leads from Calvary
For conquering the Lord OF life
(His mighty legions free)
Goes forward while the ages roll;
The price of every ransomed soul
Full paid on Calvary.

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;

have you known Mr. Underwood"
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 aim since
my marriage to Mr. Jeffries. My hus-

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 Ill

heart misgave her as she saw the
look of satisfaction in the captain s
face.

band didn't like him, did he?"

Annie arose and moved toward the
door. She had no time to waste

said:
