am more than disappointed In your
failure to keep your word. You prom

the witness here tonight. On the
strength Of that promise l made state
ments to Capt. Clinton which l have
not been able to substantiate. The
whole story looks like an invention on
your part"
She held out her hands entreat-
ingly.
Its not an invention! Really,
Judge! Just little while longer!
You've been so kind, so PATIENT"
There was trace of anger In the
lawyers voice as he went on:
II believed you implicitly. You were
so positive this woman would come
forward"
"She will-she will. Give me only
few minutes more!" she cried.
The lawyer looked at her as If puz-

"a few minutes?" he said. Again
he looked at her and then shook his
head resignedly. well, it's certainly

The door opened and Alicia appeared.
The lawyer advanced politely to greet
her.
Good evening, Mrs. Jeffries."
Alicia shook hands with him, at the
same time looking inquiringly at An
nile, who, by quick gesture, told her
that the Judge knew nothing of her
secret. The lawyer went on:
Mrs. Jeffries, Jr., wishes to speak
to you. l said l thought there'd be
no objection; you don't mind. May
she?"
YES" murmured Alicia.

judge.

CHAPTER XVIII.

AS Annie entered the room and
caught sight of Mr.. Jeffries, ,she in
stinctively drew back. Just at that
moment the banker was, perhaps, the
one man In the world whom she was
most anxious to avoid Capt. Clinton
no longer had any terror for her. Now
that the missing witness had been
found and the precious suicide let
ter" was as good as in their possession
there was nothing more to fear. 1t
was only a question of time when
Howard would be set free. But
1t was not in this girls nature
to be concerned only with her
self. II she possessed single wom-
anly virture, 1t was supreme unselfish-
ness. There was some one beside her.
self to take into consideration-a
poor, vacillating, weak, miserable
woman who wished to do what was
right and had agreed to do SO, but
who. In the privacy of her own apart
ments, had gone down on her knees
and begged Annie to protect her from
the consequences of her own folly.
Her husband must not know. Annie
had promised that If there was any
way possible the knowledge of that
clandestine midnight visit to Under
woods rooms should be kept from
him. Yet there stood the banker!
She was afraid that II they began
questioning her in his presence she
might be betrayed into saying some
thing that would instantly arouse his
suspicious.
Judge Brewster went quickly for
ward as she came in and led her to a
chair. Capt. Clinton and Mr.. Jeffries
eyed her In stolid silence. Looking
around in nervous kind of way, An
ME said quietly to the Judge:
May l speak to you alone, judge?'
Certainly" replied the lawyer.
He was about to draw her aside
whom Capt Clinton interfered.
"One moment" he said gruf1y; If
this is all open and above board, as
you say 1t is, judge-Td like to ask
the young lady few questions.
Certainly, by all means" said the
Judge quickly.
The captain turned and confronted
Annie. Addressing her in his Gus
tomary aggressive manner. he said;
you promised Judge Brewster that
you'd produce the woman who called
1t Underwood's apartment the night
of the shooting?" Annie made nc
reply, but looked at the lawyer. The
captain grinned as he added: ~The
witness wants instructions. Judge"
you can be perfectly frank, Mrs
Jeffries," said the lawyer reassuringly
I'VE have no desire to conceal any
thing from Capt Clinton"
Annie bowed.
Eyes," she said slowly; Il promised
Judge Brewster that she would come
hare tonight"
