1T IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT

While state commissions and other
DUdies are trying to find method for

Prof. James w. Glover of the Uni

about $50 year on his premiums If
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated. tuberculosis alone causes
loss to such policy holder of from
$3.50 at twenty TO $3.50 at the age
OF sixty. At age of twenty, with the
present high death rate from tubercu-

CHAPTER XIX.

The Jeffries case suddenly entered
into an entirely new phase, and once
more was deemed of sufficient public
interest to warrant column after col
| umn of spicy comment in the news
papers. The town awoke one morn
ing to learn that the long-sought-for
| witness, the mysterious woman on
whose testimony everything hinged,
had not only been found, but proved
to be the prisoners own wife, who
had been so active in his defense.
This announcement was Supplying
enough to overshadow all other news
of the day, and satisfied the most
jaded palate for sensationalism.
The first question asked on all sides
was: Why had not the wife come for
ward before? The reason, as glibly
explained by an evening journal of
somewhat yellow proclivities, was log
ical enough. The telling of her mid
night visit to a single mans rooms
involved a shameful admission which
any woman might well hesitate to
make unless forced to it as a last
extremity. Confronted, however. with
the alternative of either seeing her
husband suffer for a crime of which
he was innocent or making public &C
acknowledgement of her own frailty, she
had chosen the latter course. Nat
urally, il meant divorce from the bank
er's son, and undoubtedly this was the
solution most wished for by the family.
The whole unsavory affair conveyed a
good lesson to reckless young men of
wealth to avoid entangling them
selves il undesirable matrimonial ad-
ventures. But it was no less certain,
went on this journalistic mentor, that
this wife, unfaithful as she had proved
herself to be, had really rendered her
husband a signal service in her pres
ent scrape. The letter she had pro-
duced, written to her by Underwood
the day before his death, in which he
stated his determination to kill him
self. was, of course, complete vindi-
cation for the man awaiting trial His
liberation now depended only on how
quickly the ponderous machinery Of
the law could take cognizance of this
new and most important evidence
The new turn of affairs was nat
urally most distasteful to the police.
If there was one thing more than
another which angered Capt. Clinton it
was to take the trouble to build up a
case only to have it suddenly demol-
ished. He scoffed at the suicide let
ter" safely committed to Judge Brew
ster's custody, and openly branded 1t
as forgery concocted by an immoral
woman for the purpose of defeating
the ends of justice. He kept Annie a
prisoner and defied the counsel for
the defense to do their worst. Judge
Brewster. who loved the fray, accept
ed the challenge. He acted promptly.
He secured Annie's release on habeas
corpus proceedings and, his civil suit
against the city having already begun
in the courts, he suddenly called Capt.
Clinton to the stand and gave him
a grilling which more than atoled for
any which the police tyrant had pre-
yiously made his victims suffer. In
the limelight of sensational trial, in
which pubun servants were charged
with abusing positions Of trust, he
showed Capt. Clinton up as bully and
