sweat shop workers, sporty looking
men, negroes and flashy looking wo-
men. Ali seemed callous and indif-
ferent, as if quite at home amid the
sinister surroundings of prison. One
or two others appeared to belong to a
more respectable class, their sober
manner and careworn faces reflecting
silently the humiliation and shame
they felt at their kinsman's disgrace.
The small barred windows did not
permit of much ventilation and, as
the day was warm, the odor was sick
ening. Annie looked around fearfully
and humbly took her place at the end
of the long line which slowly worked
its way to the narrow inner grating,
where credentials were closely scruti-
nized. The horror Of the place seized
upon her. She wondered who all these
poor people were and what the pris.
oners whom they came to see had
done to offend the majesty of the law.
The prison was filled with policemen
and keepers and running in and out

Career Of Young Burden.
I. Townsend Burden, Jr, is one Of
the favored sons OF New York society.
His parents have been leaders of fash
Ion for many years. with place in
the golden horseshoe at the opera and
a villa at Newport. The Burdens
town house is at No. q East Ninety
second street. Andrew Carnegie lives
on the corner below. Young Burden
Is member Of the Knickerbocker,
Racquet. Rockaway Hunt and Baltus-
rol Golf clubs in New York and ia. a
Harvard graduate of '97.
The Burden fortune, like that Of
Phipps, came from iron. The elder
Burden, having bent for inventions,
perfected machine for making horse
shoes. It turned them out at the rate
OF one every second. His genius added
a railroad spike machine to the family
inventions, and together they have
been kept SO busy that the Burden
fortune is probably as great as
Sheedy's.
Young Phipps. to whom life looks
mighty dreary just now, is the son Of
Lawrence Phipps. formerly of Pitts
burg. The elder Phipps himself was
recently married the third time. The
first Mrs. Phipps died years ago.
Young Larry was her son. The second
Mrs. Phipps was Genevieve Chandler.
He was divorced from her in 1894 after
many stormy threats, reconciliation
or two and the kidnapping of their two
little daughters. The last Mrs. Phipps
was Margaret Rogers, daughter of =
former mayor of Denver.

vices of an able lawyer. There was
no doubt Of Howard's innocence, but
she recalled with a shiver that even
innocent persons have suffered capt.
tai punishment because they were un-
able to establish their innocence, so
overwhelming were the appearances
against them. He must have the best
lawyer to be had, regardless of ex-
pense. Only one name occurred to
her. the name of a man Of interna-
.tional reputation, the mere mention
of whose name in courtroom filed
the hearts of the innocent with hope
and the guilty with dread. That man
was Judge Brewster. She hurried
downtown to his Office and waited an
hour before he could see her. Then
he told her, politely but coldly, that
he must decline to take her case. He
knew we'll who she was and he eyed
her with some curiosity. but his man
ner was frigid and disconraging.
There were plenty of lawyers in New
York. he said. She must go else
where. Politely he bowed her out.
Half Of precious day was already
lost. Judge Brewster refused the
case. To whom could she turn now?
In despair. almost desperate, she
drove uptown to Riverside drive and
forced an entrance into the Jeffries
home. Here, again. she was met with
rebuff. Still not discouraged. she
returned to Judge Brewster's office.
He was out and she sat there an hour
waiting to see him. Night came and
he did not return. Almost prostrated
with nervous exhaustion, she returned
to their deserted little fiat in Harlem.
1t was going to be a hard fight, she
saw that. But she would keep right
on. no matter at what cost. Howard
could not be left alone to perish with
out hand to save him. Judge Brew
ster must come to his rescue. He
could not refuse. She would return
again to his Office this afternoon and
sit there all day long, If necessary,
until he promised to take the case.
He alone could save him. She would
go to the lawyer and beg him on her
knees II necessary, but first she must
see Howard and bid him take courage.

Hypnotlsm and WIN power

People used to think that persons
who could be hypnotized were def.
cient in will power. that 1t was some
thing of a stigma on their mental
equipment. The experts know better
now. A writer in the Woman's Home
Companion goes so far as to say that
thu more will power a person has the
more readily he can be hypnotized.

that he could not hypnotize more than

asylum with which he was connected.

Denver. Florence Sheedy, who saw
her sister Marie start on her honey
moon in mid-February, had love
secret Of her own, declares a writer
in the Chicago 1nter-Ocean.
She is to become the wife of Isaac
Townsend Burden, Jr. The formal
announcement Of the engagement is
already in the mails. There were
negative head shakes when society
first began to whisper, but the maid
and tho man bided their time. In the
meantime the young scion Of fashion
in New York found the atmosphere of

pestered with suitors ever since she
wore ribbons in her hair and her
frocks touched her shoe tops. She
grew up most attractive girl, full Of
breeze and life. Many a Denver cap
was set for her. but she danced them
all on the string of fancy and never
became serious until
Until Larry" Phipps came along.
And the strange part Of It is that she
didn't become serious with Phipps, but
with young Burden. 1t was choiSe
