A Taste for Good Books.

If were to pray for taste which
should stand me in stead under every
variety of circumstances, and be a
source Of happiness and cheerfulness
to me through life and a shield
against its ills. however things might
go amiss and the world frown upon
me. 1t would be a taste for reading.
I speak of 1t, Of course, only as a
worldly advantage. and not in the
slightest degree as superseding or
derogating from the higher office and
surer and stronger panoply of re-
ligious principles-but as a taste an
instrument. and mode Of pleasurahla
qualification. Give a man this taate
and the means Of gratifying It. and
you can hardly fail of making a hannv
man, unless, indeed. you put into h,s
hands a most perverse selection of
books.-Sir John Herschel.

CHAPTER XVII.

The news that Judge Brewster
would appear for the defendant at the
approaching trial of Howard Jeffries
went through the town like wildfire,
and caused an immediate revival in
the public interest, which was begin
ming to slacken for want of hourly
stimulation. Rumor said that there
had been a complete reconciliation in
the Jeffries family. that the banker
was now convinced of his sons inno-
cence, and was determined to spend
fortune, If necessary. to save him.
This and other reports of similar
nature were all untrue, but the judge
let them pass without contradiction.
They were harmless, he chuckled, and
if anything, helped Towards cause.
Meantime he himself had not been
idle. When once he made up his
mind to do a thing ne was not con-
tent with half measures. Night and
day he worked on the case, preparing
evidence, seeing witnesses and ex-
perts, until he had gradually built
up a bulwark of defense which the
police would find difficult to tear

down. Yet he was not wholly reas-
sured as to the outcome until Annie.
the day following the interview in his
office, informed him breathlessly that
she had found the mysterious woman.
The Judge was duly elated; now 1t
was plain sailing, indeed! There had
always been the possibility that How
ards confession to the police was
true, that he had really killed Under
wood. But now they had found the
one important witness, the mysteri-
Gus woman who was In the apart
ment few minutes before the shoot
ing and who was in possession of
letter in which Underwood declared
his intention of shooting himself,
doubt was no longer possible. Acquit-
tai was a foregone conclusion. SO
pleased was the judge at Annie's find
that he did not insist on knowing the
woman's name. He saw that Annie
preferred, for some reason, not to give
it-even to her legal adviser-and he
let her have her way, exacting only
that the woman should be produced
the instant he needed her. The young
woman readily assented. Of course,
there remained the confession" but
that had been obtained unfairly, H.
legally, fraudulently. The next impor-
tant step was to arrange meeting at
the judges house at which DR.. Bern
stein, the hypnotic expert, would be
present and to which should be invi
ted both Capt. Clinton and Towards
father. In front of all these witnesses
the Judge would accuse the police cap
tain of browbeating his prisoner into
making an untrue confession. Per-
haps the captain could be argued into
admitting the possibility of mistake
having been made. If, further, he could
be convinced of the existence of doc
umentary evidence showing that I'm
derwood really committed suicide he
might be willing to recede from his
position In order to protect himself.
At any rate it was worth trying. The
judge insisted, also, that to this meet
ing the mysterious woman witness
should also come, to be produced at
such moment as the lawyer might
consider opportune. Annie merely de-
manded few hours time so she could
make the appointment and soon re-
turned with a solemn promise that
the woman would attend the meet
ing and come forward at whatever
moment called upon.
Three evenings later there was an
impressive gathering at Judge Brew
sters residence. In the handsomely
appointed library on the second floor
were seated DR.. Bernstein, Mr.. JEFF
fries and the judge. Each was alb
sorbed in his own thoughts. DR.. Bern
stein was putting at big black cigar;
the banker stared vacantly into space
The Judge, at his desk, examined some
legal papers. Not word was spo-

"Who has given you this informa'

"Howard's wife," answered the
judge quietly. The banker started and
the lawyer went on: "She knows who
the woman is, and has promised to
bring her here tonight with docu

sneered.

"She has more at stake than any oil

on this case. 1t was she who aroused

The banker frowned.
"She is the cause of the whole mis-

The door opened and the butler, en-

"Ahl I begin to understand. You
knew Robert Underwood? Howard
knows your voice-he heard you-talk-
ing to him Oh, Mrs. Jeffries! Are
you the woman who visited his apart
ments that night?"
The bankers wife bowed her head
and collapsed on a chair.
YES" she murmured in a low tone.
Annie looked at her in amazement.
why didn't you come forward at
once?" she cried. Think of the pain
which you might have spared us!"
Alicia covered her face with her
handkerchief. She was crying now.
The disgrace-the disgrace!" she
moaned.
"Disgrace!" echoed Annie, stupe-
fed. Indignantly, she went on: dis
grace-to you? But what Of me and
Howard?"
Cant you realize what 1t means to
be associated with such a crime?" she
walled.
"Disgrace!" cried Annie contemptu-
ously. What is disgrace when hui

If I'd known-if I'd suspected what

puts me in?"
A new light shone in Annie's eyes.
What was this woman's misery to
her? Her duty was to the poor fell
low who was counting the hours until
she could set him free. His stepmoth-
or deserved no mercy. Utterly self
ish, devoid Of a spark of humanity,
she would have left them both to
perish in order to protect herself from
shame and ridicule. Her face was set
and determined as she said calmly:
1T must be done now"
"Yes," murmured Alicia In a low
tone that sounded like sob, ut must
he done now! Oh, If I'd only done 1t
before-if I'd only told Mr.. Jeffries
