precisely what l won't permit"
Annie nodded acquiescence.
Il knew you were going to scold
me-" she smiled.
"Scold you?" he said, kindly. No
it's myself I'm scolding. You did
what you thought was right, and al
lowed you to do what l knew was
wrong"
You made two miserable women
happy, she said. quietly.
The lawyer tried to suppress a
smile.

ground" he said, but it won't work.
l violated my oath as a lawyer, my in
tegrity as man, my honor, my self
respect, all upset. all gone. I've been
very unpleasant companion for my
self lately" Rising impatiently, he
strobe up and down the room. Then
turning on her, he said, angrily: But
I'll have no more lies. That's what
brings me here this morning. The
first move they make against you and
I'll tell the whole truth"
Annie gazed pensively out of the
window without making reply.
Did you hear?" he said, raising his
voice. 4 shall let the world know
that you sacrificed yourself for that
woman"

No. judge" she said, Il do not wish

Howard to bring suit against me /

Judge Brewster was not a patient
man, and if there was anything that
angered him it was rank injustice. He
had no patience with this young wom-
an who allowed herself to be tram
pied on in this outrageous way. Yet
he could not be angry with her. She
had qualities which compelled his ad.
niration and respect, and not the least
Of these was her willingness to shield
others at her own expense.

will. It's unjust, it's unrighteous, it's

As soon as he disappeared she gave
way completely, and sinking into
chair. leaned her head on the table
and sobbed as II her heart would
break. This then, was the end! Sud-
denly there was ring at the bell.
Hastily putting on a clean apron, she
opened the door. Judge Brewster
stood smiling on the threshold. Annie
uttered a cry of pleasure. Greeting

questioningly at her red eyes, but
made no remark.
I'm delighted to see you, judge"
she stammered.
AS he took a seat in the little parlor,
he said:
Your husband passed me on the
stairs and didn't know me-"
The passage is so dark" she ex-
planned, alphabetically.
He looked at her for moment with
out speaking, and for a moment there
was awkward pause. Then he said:

Annie stared in surprise.
