Howard’s toagae clove to bls palate. He esuld eoorcely articulate He was laaevest, of course, bat there was hi me th lag la thia man’s manner which made him fear that he might, after all, have had something to do with the tragedy. Yet he was positive that he was asleep on the bed all the time. The Question is, would anybody believe him? He ebook his head pathetically. "I didn’t do It Really. 1 didn’t” “Shut your mouth! You’re lying, and you know you’re lying Wait till the coroner comes We'll fix you.” Again there was silence, and now began a long, tedious wait, both men retaining the same positions, the captain watching his prisoner as a cat watches a mouse. Howard’s mental anguish was almost unendurable. He thought of his poor wife who must be waiting up for him all this time, wondering what had become of him. She would Imagine the worst, and there was no telling what she might do. If only he eould get word to her. Perhaps she would be able to explain things Then he thought of his father. They had quarreled, it was true, but after all it was his own flesh and blood. At such a critical situation as thia, one forgets. His father oould hardly refuse to come to his assistance He must get a lawyer, too, to protect his interest?. This police captain had no right to detain him like this He must get word tt> Annie without delay. Summoning up all his courage, he said boldly: 'You are detaining me here without warrant in law. I know my rights. I am the son of one of the most influential men in the city.” "What’s your name?” growled the captain. “Howard Jeffries ” "Son of Howard Jeffries, the banker?” Howard nodded. "Yes." The captain turned to his sergeant.
Maloney, this feller says he’s the son of Howard Jeffries, the banker.” Maloney leaned over and whispered something in the captain’s ear. The eaptain smiled grimly. "Be you're a bad character, eh’ Father turned you out of doors, eh? Where’s that girl you ran away with’" Sharply he added: “You see I know your record." Tre done nothing I'm ashamed of.” replied Howard calmly. "1 married the girl. Rhe'* waiting my return now. Won’t yeu please Ist ms send hsr a message?” The eaptaln eyed Howard suspiciously for a moment, then he turned to hfs sergsant: “Maloney, telephone this man’s wife. What’s the number?" "Eighty-six Morningside." Ma cney again got busy with the telephone and the wearying wait bo gan once more The clock soon struck two For a whole hour he had been subjected to this gruelling process, and still the lynx-eyed captain sat there watching his quarry. If Capt Clinton had begun to have any doubts when Howard told him who hi* father was, Maloney's Information Immediately put him at his eass. It was all clear to him now. " be youth had never been any good. His own father had kicked him out He was in desperate financial straits. He had come to this man's rooms to make a demand for money. Underwood had refused and there wa* a quarrel, and he shot him. There was probably a dispute over the woman Ah, yes, he remembered now. This girl he married was formerly a sweetheart of Underwood’s. Jealousy was behind it as well. Besides, wasn't he caught red handed, with blood on his hands, trying to escape from the apartment? Oh, they had him dead to rights, all right. Any magistrate would hold him on such evidence. “It's the Tombs for him, all right, all right,” muttered the captain tc himself; "and maybe promotion sot me.” Suddenly there was a commotion at the door. The coroner entered followed by the undertaker. The twe men advanced quickly into the room, and took a look at the body. Aftei making a hasty examination, the coi oner turned to Capt. Clinton. "Well, captain, I guess he’s dead, all right.” “Yes, end we've got our man, too.’’ The coroner turned to look at the prisoner. “Caught him red-handed, eh? Who ie he?" Howard was about to blurt out a re ply, when the captain thundered: “Silence!” To the coroner, the captain ex plained: "He's the scapegrace son of Howard Jeffries, the banker. No goodbad egg. His father turned him out of doors. There la no question about his guilt. Look at his hand*. We caught him trying to get away." The coroner rose. He believed in doing things promptly. "I congratulate you, captain. Quick work like this ought to do your repo tation good. The community owes a debt to the officers of the law If they succeed In apprehending criminals quickly. You've been getting pretty hard knocks lately, but I —— you know your busing** m

"I want to pat a tew qaeeUoas te him first” The coroner smiled ’■You're going to put him through th* ’third degree,' eb ? Every one's heard of your star-chamber ordeals Are they really so dreadful?” "Nonsense!” laughed the captain. "We wouldn't harm a baby, would wa, Maloney?” The sergeant quickly indorsed his chiefs opinion. "No. cap.” Turning to go. the coroner said: “Well, good-night, captain.” "Good night Mr. Coroner." Howard listened to all thia like one transfixed. They seemed to be talk Ing about him. They were dlscueslng some frightful ordeal of which he was to be a victim. What was this 'third d*gree’ they were talking about? Now he remembered. He bad beard irf innocent men being bullied, maltreatod, deprived of food and sleep for days, in order to force them to toll what the police were anxious to And out. He bad heard of secret assaults, of midnight clubbings, of prisoners being choked and brutally kicked by a gang of ruffianly policemen, in order to force them into some damaging admission A chill ran down his npine as he realized his utter helplessiitwn. If he could only get word to a lawyer. Just as the coroner was disappearing through the door, be darted forward and laid a hand on his arm “Mr. Coroner, won’t you lietea to me?” he exclaimed The coroner startled, drew back. "I cannot interfere. ’’ he said coldly. ‘‘Mr. Underwood was a friend of mine," explained Howard. “I came here to borrow money. I fell asleep on that sofa When I woke up be was deed I was frightened. I tried to get away. That s the truth, so help me God!” The coroner looked at him sternly* and made no reply. No one could
ever reproach him with sympathising with eriminals Waving his Land at Capt Clinton, he said: “Good-night, captain." j “Good-night Mr. Coroner." The door slammo! and Capt Cliaton. with a twist of nis powerful arm. yanked his prisoner back into hi* se*n Howard protested "Tou’vo got no right to treat mo like this. You txceed your powers. I demand to be taken before a magistrate at once.” The raptain grinned, sad pointed tc the cloek. "Say. young feller, see what time 11 is? Two-thirty a. m. Our good mag istratee are all eotnfy in their virtuous beds. Well have to wait til) morning " "But what’s the good of sitting her* in this death house?" protested How ard “Take me to the station if I must go. It's intolerable to sit any longer here.” The captain beckoned to Maloney. “Not so fast, young man. Before we go to the station we want to ask you a few questions. Don’t we, Ma loney?” The sergeant came over, and tbe captain whispered something in his ear. Howard shivered. Suddenly turning to his prisoner, the captain shouted in the stern tone of command: "Get up!" Howard did mhe was ordered. He felt he must. There wm so resisting that powerful brute’s tone of authority Pointing to the other side of ths table, the captain went os; “Stand over there where I can look at you!” The two men now faced each other, the small table alone separating them. The powerful elsctrollor overhead cast its light full on Howard's haggard face and on the captain's scowling features. Suddenly Maloney turned off every electric light except the lights in the elect roller, the glare of which was inten--1 silled by the surrounding darkness. The rest of the room was in shadow. One ssw only these two figures Handing vividly out in the strong light—the white-faced prisoner and his stalwart inquisitor. In the dark background stood Policeman Delaney. : Close at hand was Maloney taking notes. “You did ft, and you know you did ft!” thundered the captain, fixing his eyes rm hia trembling victim. “I did not do it,” replied Howard slowly and Ilrmly, returning the policeman’s stare. ‘ You’re lying!” shouted the captain. “I'm not lying," replied Howard 1 calmly The captnin glared at him for a moment and then suddenly tried new tactics. "Why did yop come here?” he demanded. , "I came to borrow money.” “Did you get It?” “No—he said he couldn't give it to me.” “Then you killed him.” “I did not kill him,” replied Howard poelttvely. Thus the searching examination went on, n irellessly, tirelessly. The earns quest! -ns, the same answers, the same accu-.-.tions, the «»mn denials, hour after hew. Ths oantaln was

The prisoner was en the verge of collapse Maloney and Patrolman Delaney were deslng on chairs, but Capt. Clinton, a marvel of iron will and physical strength, never relaxed for a moment Net allowing himself to weaken or show signs of fatigue, ho kept poundlug the unhappy youth with searching qsections. By this Usse Howard’s coadltlcn was pitiable to witness. His face was white as death.

The captain saw he was weakening, and he smiled with Mticfsction He'd soon get a confession out of him. Suddenly bonding forward, eo that hie fleroe. determined stare glared right into Howard’s half closed eyes, be shouted “You did it and you know you did!" "No—l—” replied Howard weakly. ! "These reposted denials are uselees!” shouted the captain. “There’s already enough evidence to send you to the chair!” Howard shook his head helplessly Weakly ho replied: "This constant questioning to m» king me disny. Good God! What's the use of questioning me and quea tinning me? 1 know nothing about it” "Why did you come here*" thux> d»red the captain. "I've told you over and over again. Wc re old friends. I camo to borrow money. He owed me a few hundred dollars when wo were at college to gether, and ! tried to get it I've told you no many time* Ton won’t believe me My brain is tired. I’m thoroughly exhausted. Please let me go. My poor wife won’t know wbat'a tbs matter.” “Never mind about your wife" growled the captain. "We’ve sent for her. How much did you try to borrow’" Howard was silent a moment as if racking his brain, trying to remember. “A thousand —two thousand. I foe get. I think one thousand." ‘Did he Jay he'd lend you the money?" demanded the Inquisitor. “No,” replied the prisoner, with hesh tatiou. He couldn't —he —poor chap— st “Ah” snapped the certain. “He refused—that led to words There was _ I j™ / nnm ■ t —rirns ms li__i “Why Did You Come Here?" a quarrel, and—” Suddenly leaning forward until his face almost touched Howard's, he hissed rather ‘han spoke: "You shot him!” Howard gave an involuntary step backward, as if he realized the trap being laid for him. "No, no!” he cried. Quickly following up his advantage, Capt. Clinton shouted dramatically: I "You He! He was found on ths floor in this room—dead. You went trying to get out of the house without being seen. You hadn’t even stopped to wash the blood off your hands. All you fellers make mistakes. You relied on getting away unseen. You never stopped to think that the blood on your hands would betray yon." Gruffly he added: “Now. come, what's the use of wasting all this time? It won't go so hard with you if you own up. You killed Robert Underwood!” «ss» 'WMBW '•- . —r i—iufL. II V.

Taming to Ms mea. he added: “Mow is that. Mutoaey? DM tee prisoner eay that?" The sergoaat eensaltod his back notes, and repllsd: “Yeo Cap', tests what he euid.” Suddenly Capt Clinton drew from hl* hip poekel the revolver which he bad found os the floor near the dead - man's body The supreme test was | about to be mad* Tbe wily police t captain would uow play his trump card. It wa* not wlfhout reason that hi* enemies charged him with employing unlawful methods in conducting hi* Inquisitorial examinations.

Howard gazed at the shining surIfae of the metal as if fascinated. Ho speke not a word, but bis eyee be-c-a-a riveted on the weapon until his face aMumed a vacant utare. Frctn the scientific standpoint, the act of hTpuotism bad been accomplished. | la his nervous and overfatigued state, 'added to his susceptibility to quick I I hypnosis, be was now direcriy under 1 ' the influence of Capt.

Clinton quickly i tallowed up his advantage: "You committed this crime. Howard Jeffries'" be shouted, fixing him with ; a stare. To his subordinate he shouted: “Didn’t he, Maloney?” 1 "He kH’ed him all right,” echoed Maloney. His eye* still flxed on those of his victim, and approaching his face close to his, the captain shouted: “You did tt, Jeffries! Come on, own np! Let's have the truth! You shot . ■ Robert Underwood with this revolver. You <»d it. and you can't deny tt! You , know you can’t deny it! Speak!” he | thundered. “You did it!" , Howard, hi* ayes still fixed on the shining pistol, repeated, as if recit- : ing a lesson: > "I did it!” Quickly Capt. Clinton signaled to Maloney to approach nearer with hia . note-book. The detective sergeant t«ok his place immediately back of Howard. The captain turned to his prisoner: . “You shot Robert Underwood!” “I shot Robert Underwood,” repeated Howard mechanically. , "You quarreled!” "We quarreled.” "You earns here for money!" "1 came here for money.” "He refused to give it to you!” "Re refused to give it to me," “There wa* a quarrel!” “There was a quarrel.” "You drew that pistol!” “I drew that pistol." “And shot him!" “And shot him." Capt Clinton smiled triumphantly. “That's all." he said. Howard collapsed into a chair Hi* head dropped forward on his breast, ns If he were asleep. Capt Clinton yawned and looked at his watch. Turning to Maloney, he said with a chuckle: "By George; it’* taken five hours to get it out of him!” i Maloney turned out the electric • ghts and went to pull up the window shades, letting the bright daylight stream into the room. Suddenly there was a ring at the front door. Officer Delaney opened, and Dr. Bern stein entered. Advancing into the room, he shook hands with the captain. I m sorry I couldn’t come before, , captain. 1 wan o at when I got the ' eall. Where's the body?” , The captain pointed to the inner room. "’r. there." After glancing curiously at Howard, tbe doctor disappeared into the Inner room. Capt. Clinton turned to Maloney "Well. Maloney. 1 CUPSg our ; ork ~s done here. Wo want to get the prisoner over to the station, then j make out a charge of murder, and prepare the full confession to subm t to the magistrate. Have everything ; ready by nine o'clock. Meantime, I'll I go down and see the newspaper boyr. I guess there's a bunch of them down , there. Os course, lt’ B too late for the morning papers, but it's a bully good story for the afternoon editions. Delaney, you’re responsible for the prisoner.

U not at all sure that Underwood d‘d not do this himself." “Ain't you? Well. 1 am,” replied the captain with a sneer. Pointing Kgaiii to Howard, he said: “This man has just confessed to the shooting.” At that moment the front door opened and Annie Jeffries came In w . corted by an officer. She was pa] e and frightened, and looked timidly at the group of strange and serious looking men present. Then her eyes went round the room In rearch of her husband She saw him seemingly asleep in aa armchair, hl* wrists manacled in front of him. With a frightened exclamation she sprang forward, but Officer Delaney Intercepted her Capt Clinton turned around angrily at the interruption "Keep the woman quiet till she’s wanted!” he growled. • Annie sat timidly on a eha’r In the • background and the captain turned again to the doctor What’s that you were saying, doctor?" i"You tell me the man confessed?" Crossing the room to where Howard sat, Dr. Bernstein looked closely at him. Apparently the prisoner was •sleep. His eyes were closed and his head drooped forward on his chest was ghastly pale The captain grinned. "Yes. air. confessed—l." the presence of three witnesses Eh, sergeant.?" “Yes, sir,” replied Maloney. "You heard him, too, didn't you. Delaney ?“ "Yes. captain." 1 Squaring his huge shoulders, the eaptain said with a self satisfied chuckle: “It took us five hours to get him to own up. but we got it out of him at last” The doctor was still busy with hia examination. "He seems to be asleep. Worn out, I guess Five hours, yes—that's your method, captain.” Shaking his hi ad, he went on: "I don't believe In these all-nlgut examinations snd y--ur 'third degree' mental torture.
