material witness-the most important
one the State has. l don't intend that
she shall get away"
ARREST heri oh. Judge. don't let

may.
Judge Brewster grew red In the
face. Wrathfully he said:
"She is coming to my house Of her
own free will She has trusted to my
honor"
"Yes-yesI" cried Annie. "She
trusts to your honor, Judge"
Capt. Clinton grinned.
Honor cuts mighty little Ice in
this matter. There's no use talking.

torted the policeman impudently, you
won't be consulted. You have de-
clared yourself counsel for the man
who has been indicted for murder-I
didn't ask you to take me into your
confldence-you invited me here,
treated me to lecture on psychology,
for which thank you very much, but
don't feel that / need any further
instruction. II this woman ever does
get here, the moment she leaves the
house Maloney has instructions to
arrest her, but / guess we needn't
worry. She has probably forgotten
her appointment. Some people are
very careless in that respect" Moving
toward the door, he added: well, If
it's all the same to you. I'll walt down

He went out, his hat impudently
tilted back on his head, a sneer on his
lips. The banker turned to the Judge.

the lawyer sternly.
1t was the first time he had spoken
to her harshly and Annie, to her dis
may, thought she detected note Of
doubt in his voice. Looking toward
the banker, she replied:
Il can't tell you Just now-she'n be
here soon"
"Tell me now-I insist" said the
lawyer with growing impotence.
"Please-please don't ask mel" she
pleaded.
Mr.. Jeffries made an angry gesture
"As l told you, Brewster. her whole
story is a fabrication trumped UP TO
a. some purpose-God knows what oh
ject she has in deceiving usl l onl,
r know that warned you what you al
ways may expect from people OF he
