Ask No Questions
By Beldon Duff

Annassa flushed to the roots Of her
copper-colored hair.
There is some one-1 mean have
| found man."
John Diamond spoke in a voice edged
with sarcasm.
IT see now, Miss West, why I have
not been able to persuade you to leave
Brides House"
Terhune turned with a threatening
scowl.
Annassa West raised her hand.
Mr.. Diamond Is right. This man Is
the reason why cannot leave Brides
House."
Ami" Terhune fell back aghast.
But only because he Is in trouble
and needs my help
Terhune began to look worried again
Ann, you love this man."
Nonsense! I've only seen him twice
I've scarcely had dozen words with
him."
Just the same. you love him"
A noise In the hall outside inter-
rupted her protestations-a voice speak
ing hurriedly, in painting breaths, as
though its owner had been running or
was beside himself with fear-possibly
both.
Noah Peabody, accompanied by an
indignant footman, burst into the room
prietor of the Ark stood before them
without hat or coat. Mr. Diamond,
Seth Toby sent me to tell yer that the
men of Hales Crossing an a lot of
farmers from the outlying districts are
on their way to Brides House to git the
man that's hidin' there. He wants you
to go over and talk to them-to see if
yer can't hold them till he brings help
from Danbury. They're a bad bunch,
| ~ HBxyA AfF =
'em crazy. If that fellar resists, they'll
lynch him, sure as God made little APP
Piles. And when they git through with
that part of the party they'll burn the
house down and ride the West female
out Of town on q rail. /" For the
first time he became aware of Miss
Vests presence. "Oh, I didn't know
she was here. Excuse me-"
| Let them burn Brides House down
II they want to. It's about time that
spot was cleaned OF the map, anyway"
said Diamond.
But the man" cried Ann. David.
Didn't you hear what Mr.. Peabody said.
They mean to kill him. And he's inno-
cent-innocent, tell you. Go to them.
Do what the chief Of police wants you
to do. Withdraw the reward. Tell them
you've changed your mind-that the
murderer's already been caught-any-
thing at all, only stop them before it's
too late"
Diamond betrayed conflicting emo
tions-rage, fear and a disturbingly IA
miliar usefulness.
why should run the risk Of being
stoned by these hoodlums? Why should
put myself in danger for the sake of
a convict-a man whose death would
in all probability be a benefit to the
world? why
Miss West had stepped back. The
wonder of a great discovery-the dawn
ing certainty of the truth-had swept
the anxiety from her face.
| When she answered the millionaire S
question, 1t was with a new assurance
You must save this man." she said
gently. You have no other choice. He
Is your SON."

FOR CANCER CLINIC.
San Franciscans Support
Work of Co. DISCOVERIES
of Cure Process.

BY the Associated PreSS.
DEL MONTE, Calf, May 1.-The
California Medical Association has en-
tered the controversy concerning the
Coffey-Humber cancer treatment by
passing a resolution commencing the
co-discoverers of the process, DR.. John
D. Humber and DR.. Walter B. Coffey,
both of San Francisco.
With the passage here yesterday Of
the resolution of commentator, formal
announcement also was made that three
wealthy San Franciscans had raised
$500, 900 to support the work OF the
Coffey-Humber Cancer Clinic In San
Francisco. The financial hackers are
Herbert Fleishhacker, banker; Stanley
Shoup, president of the Southern Pa
cif1c Railroad.
Adoption of the laudatory resolution
was greeted by prolonged cheers on the
convention floor. It was construed as
a retort to an editorial by DR.. Motifs
Fishbein in the current issue OF the
Journal of the American Medical
Association expressing disappointment
with both the clinical and pathological
results" Of the treatment:
The resolution set forth that Corey
and Humber had said their work still
was in the research stage and that no
scientific or definite pronouncement can,
or should, now be made of the results
thereof"
DR.. Coffey yesterday issued a state
ment accusing DR.. Fishbein of taking
an unjust and unethical" attitude to-
ward the work of the San Francisco
clinic. DR.. Coffey likened the methods
of DR.. Fishbein, who is editor of the
Journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION, to those of secret medieval
tribunal"

Wike, SIS, of Sharon, have been held
under guard in a hotel since their ar
rest Immediately after the Smith
brothers were found shot to death.
Seeley and Wike were associated with
the Smiths in the bankrupt New Mil
ford, Conn, Security Co. The prison.
ers occupied a room adjoining the quar-
tiers of the Smith brothers. Both have
denied the charges.
Authorities frankly were uncertain as
to whether the hearing would shed any
light upon the puzzling questions pro-
duced by the double Staying. Whether
the motive was robbery, as Wike has
related in his story, or whether the mo-
tive was a hidden one still was riddle
today.
The four men came West in David
Smiths automobile on combined bust
ness and pleasure trip. They were in
specting investments of the defunct Sc
curity Co. in Southwestern States and
looking after individual business inter-
eStS.
All four men were widely known in
Connecticut. The Smith brothers had
served terms in the State Legislature
and Seeley, the wealthiest of the four,
was prominent as a capitalist. Wike was
a prosperous retired farmer.
Sheriff Fred Hamilton is Of the opin-
