As soon as he disappeared she gave
way completely, and sinking into q
chair leaned her head on the table
and sobbed as If her heart would
break. This then, was the end! Sud-
denly there was a ring at the bell.
Hastily putting on q clean apron, she
opened the door Judge Brewster
stood smiling on the threshold. Annie
uttered cry of pleasure. Greeting
the old lawyer affectionately, she In
vited him in AS he entered, he looked
questioningly at her red eyes, but
made no remark.
I'm delighted to see you, judge"
she stammered.
AS he took seat in the little parlor,
he said:
"Your husband passed me on the
stairs and didn't know me-"
THE passage is so dark" she ex-
planned, apologetically.
He looked at her for moment with
out speaking, and for moment there
was awkward pause. Then he said:
when does Howard leave you?"
Annie stared in surprise.
How do you know that?" she ex-
claimed
I'VE lawyers know everything" he
smiled Gravely he went on: His ia
theirs attorneys have asked me for all
the evidence have. They want to use

shall go abroad with his father, and
that the proceedings will be begun

lively.
But he Is going away?" persisted
the Judge.
Yes. I want him to go-T am send

The lawyer was silent. He sat and
looked at her as If trying to read her
thoughts. Then quietly he said:
do you know they intend to make
Robert Underwood the ground for the
application for divorce, and to use
your own perjured testimony as a
weapon against you? You see what a

He waited and looked at her curl
ously as If wondering what her an
swer would be. He waited some time
and then slowly she said:
II think-you had better go!"
You don't mean that" he ex-
claimed, in genuine surprise.
She shook her head affirmatively.
Yes, | do" she said; your father
wants you to take your position in
the world, the position you are entitled
to, the position your association with
me prevents you from taking"
Howard drummed his fingers on the
tablecloth and looked out of the win
dow. 1t seemed to her that his voice
no longer had the same candid ring as
he replied:

Annie finished his sentence for him:

Howard. You owe it to yourself, to
your family, and to-" She laughed
as she added: Il was going to say to
millions of anxious readers"
Howard looked at her curiously He
did not know if she was jesting or in
earnest Almost impatiently he ex-
claimed:
Why do you talk in this way against
your own interests? You know I'd
like to be friendly with my family,
and all that. But it wouldn't be fair
to you"
Pm not talking against myself,

willing to pay the penalty. I've evened

me try and square up with you"
"Evened up matters with my fam

do you mean?"
With smile she replied ambigu-
ously:
oh that's little private matter of
my own!" He stared at her, unable
to comprehend, and she went on,
gravely: Howard, you must do
what's best for yourself. I'll pack
your things You can go when you
please"
He stared gloomily out of the win
dow without replying. After all, he
thought to himself, it was perhaps for
the best Shackled as he was now,
he would never be able to accomplish
anything. If they separated, his father
would take him into his business.
Life would begin for him all over
again It. would be better for her,
too. OF course, he would never for

comfort. His father would help him
arrange for that. Lighting a cigar

TIE GREATEST CANALS.

The greatest canals in the world are IN
the north country of America. BY great

economies OF transportation, for these
canals are not the longest or the deepest

ton involve very unusual or spectacular
feats OF engineering. But in point Of ton

influence upon freight rates throughout The
country no artificial waterways ever made

WHAT THE MONEY WOULD DO.

June 90, 1910, for the gigantic task Of build
