"You don't say so?" exclaimed An
ME, irritated at the mans intolerable
insolence.
Judge Brewster held up restrain
ing hand.
Please say nothing" he said with
dignity.

as if thoroughly enjoying the situa-
ton.

but on it look of determination, as
If she had quite made up her mind as
to what course to pursue. In her
hand was Underwood's letter. Ad-
dressing Annie, she said, with emo
ton:
'The truth must come out sooner or
later"
Seeing what she was about to do,
Annie quickly put out her hand to
stop her.. She expected the bankers
wife to do her duty, she had insisted
that she must, but now she was ready
to do it, she realized what it was cost
| ing her. Her position. her future hap
piness were at stake. It was too great
| sacrifice. Perhaps there was some
other way.
mo, no, not yet" she whispered.
| But Alicia brushed her aside and,
thrusting the letter into the hand Of
the astonished police captain, she
said:
Yes. now! Read that captain!"
Capt. Clinton slowly unfolded the
letter. Alicia collapsed In q chair.
Annie stood by helpless. but trying to
collect her wits. The Judge watched
the scene with amazement, not under
standing. The captain read from the

purpose He had heard enough of the
wealthy bankers aristocratic wife to
treat her with respect.
BEG pardon, MN; I wanted to tell
the judge I was going"
The servant entered.
Tell Judge Brewster that Capt.
Clinton is going" said Annie.
Alicia, meantime, was once more
on the verge of collapse. The long
threatened expose was now at hand.
In another moment the judge and per-
haps her husband would come in, and
Annie would hand them the letter
which exculpated her husband. There
was a moment of terrible suspense.
Annie stood aloof, her eyes fixed on
the floor. Suddenly, without uttering
a word, she drew Underwood's letter
from her bosom, and quickly approach
ing Alicia, placed it unnoticed in her
hand. The bankers wife flushed and
then turned pale. She understood.
Annie would spare her. Her lips
parted to protest Even she was taken
back by such an exhibition of unself-
ishness as this. She began to STAN

I? Do you understand what the let
ter means to me?"
"Have PITY" cried the bankers
wife, almost beside herself. "You can
tell them when I'm outSOf the cOun-
try. Don't ask me to make this sac
rifice now-don't ask me-don't!"
Annie was beginning to lose pa
thence. The woman's selfishness an
gered her. With irritation, she said:
you've lost your nerve, and you
don't know what you're saying. How
ards life comes before you-me-or
anybody. You know that"
"Yes-yes," cried Alicia desperate
ly, Il know that. I'm only asking you
to wait. IL ought to have left this
morning what should have
done-gone at once. Now it's too
late, unless you help me"
'1ll help you all I can," replied the
other doggedly, "but I've promised
Judge Brewster to clear up this mat
ter tonight"
Suddenly there was commotion at
the door, Capt. Clinton entered, fol
lowed by Detective Sergeant Maloney.
Alicia shrank back in alarm.
II thought Judge Brewster was
here" said the captain, glancing sus-
piciously round the room.
'I'll send for him." said Annie,
touching bell.
"Well, where's your mysterious wit
ness?" demanded the captain sarcas-
tically.
He looked curiously at Alicia.
"This is Mrs. Howard Jeffries, ST., "
said Annie, my husbands STEP

Because, begging your pardon for
doubling your word, there's no such
person"
Begging your pardon for disputing
your word, captain" she retorted,
mimicking him, there is such a per-
son.
"Then where is she?" he demanded
angrily. Annie made no answer, but
looked for advice to Judge Brewster,
who at that instant entered the room.
The captain glared at her viciously,
and unable to longer contain his
wrath, he beloved:
I'll tell you where she is! She's
right here in this room!" Pointing
his finger at Annie in theatrical fash
ion, he went on furiously: annie jeff
ries, you're the woman who visited
Underwood the night of his death! l
don't hesitate to say so. I've said SO

retorted Annie dryly.
Taking no notice of her remark. the
