You're quite right! I'm going to

Annie felt herself giving way. 1t

was too niue. for her nerves. All she
could gasp was:

Judge Brewster shook his head.
"No-no-nothing of the kind"

The Judge struck the table another

She turned away her head to hide

books of its kind, but 1t goes a step
farther For instance. a page is d.

with the name of the animal printed
beneath. Thus far it is like the old

night must come Howard might still
be the murderer, Underwood might
not have committed suicide, but her
visit to his rooms at midnight would
become known. Judge Brewster was
not the man to be deferred by diff
culties once he took up case. He
would see the Importance of finding
the mysterious woman who went Sc
cretly to Underwood's rooms that
night of the tragedy.
HE consulted only his own feel
ings," went on Annie. "He believes in
Howard. and he's going to defend

Alicia looked at her anxiously as II
trying to read what might be in her
mind. Indifferently she went on:
"The papers say there was a quar-
rel about you, that you and Mr.. I'm
derwood were too friendly They i'm
piled that Howard was jealous. Is
this true?"
TITS all talk" cried Annie indig-
nantly-"nothing but scandal-lies!
There's not a word of truth in 1t.
Howard never had Jealous thought
of me-and as for me-why-Fve al
ways worshiped the ground he walked
on. Didn't he sacrifice everything for
my sake? Didn't he quarrel with his
father for me? Didn't he marry me
Didn't he try to educate and make a
lady of me? My God!-do you sup
pose I'd give a man like that cause
for jealousy? What do the newspa-

they had a spark of humanity in them.

Alicia turned to look out of the win
dow. Her face still averted she said:
What is there to do? Howard has
acknowledged his guilt. What sac

Annie eyed her companion with con-
