THE THIRD DEGREE—Gontlnun< "Honor cuts mighty little ice IS this matter. There's no use talking 1 shall place her under arrest.” “I will not permit such a disgraceful proceeding!” cried the lawyer. “With all due respect, judge,” retorted the policeman Impudently, "you won’t be consulted. You have declared yourself counsel for the man who has been indicted for murder —I didn't ask you to take me into your confidence—you Invited me here, treated me to a lecture on psychology, for which I thank you very much, but I don't feel that I need any furthet instruction If this woman ever doei get here, the moment she leaves th* house Maloney has instructions to ivwest her. but 1 guess we needn't worry. She has probably forgotten her appointment Some people arc very careless in that respect” Moving toward the door, he added: "Well, it it's all the same to you, I’ll wait down stairs. Good-night” He went out his hat impudently tilted back on his head, a sneer on his lips. The banker turned to the judge. "I told you how would be." he said scornfully. “A flash in the pan!” The lawyer looked askance at An ale. “You are sure she will come?” he asked. “Yes. I am sure!" With concern she added: "But the disgrace of arrest! It will kill her! Oh. judge, don't let them arrest her!” “Tell me who she is!” commanded the lawyer sternly. It was the first time he had spoken to her harshly and Annie, to her dismay, thought she detected a note of doubt In his voice. Looking toward the banker, she replied: “I can't tell you just now—she’ll be here soon—” “Tell me now—l insist," said the lawyer with growing impatience. "Please—please don’t ask me!" she pleaded. Mr. Jeffries made an angry gesture “As I told you, Brewster, her whole story Is a fabrication trumped up for some purpose—God kpows what object she has in deceiving us! I only know that I warned you what you always may expect from people of her class.” The judge said nothing for a momenL Then quietly he whispered to the banker: “Go into my study for a few moments, will you. Jeffries?” The banker made a gesture, as if utterly disgusted with the whole business. “I am going home,” he said testily. *Tve had a most painful evening—most painful. Let me know the result of your investigation as soon as possible. Good night. Don’t disturb me to-night, Brewster. To-morrow will do.” He left the room in high dudgeon, banging the door behind him. Annie burst into a laugh. “Don't disturb him!” she mimicked. “He’s going to get all that's coming to him.” Shocked at her levity, the lawyer turned on her severely. “Do you want me to lose all faith in you?” he asked sternly. "No, indeed.”- «he answered contritely. "Then tell me,” he demanded, “why do you conceal this woman's name from me?” “Because I don’t want to be the one to expose her. She shall tell you herself.” "That's all very well,” he replied, “but meantime you are directing susWf lY .. Jfc The Captain Rose and Drew Himselt Up to His Full Height picion against yourself. Your father-in-law believes you are the woman; so does Capt. Clinton."

The “. to she laughed. "It’s »** * suspect A. long aS ( d “ t nSt " that I visited Underwood that night— The judge shook hl* bead •* •* P UI "Candidly. I don’t know what to think." Seriously, he added. I want to think the very best J* you, Annie, but you won't let me. She hesitated a moment and then, quickly, she »aid: i "1 suppose I'd better tell you and have done with It—but I don't like At that moment a servant entered and handed the lawyer a card. ? “The lady wants to see you at once, sir.” , . •To nee me,” asked the lawyer In surprise: "are you sure she hasn’t come for Mr. Jeffries’ "No, str: she asked for you." Annie sprang forward. "Is it Mrs. Jeffries?” she asked. “Yes," he replied. "Let me see her, judge,” she exclaimed eagerly; "I'll tell her who ft Is and she can tell you—she’s a woman —and I'd rather. Let me speak to her, please!" Addressing the servant, the lawyer saM: "Ask Mrs. Jetrnes to come up.” ; Turtilrg to his client, be went on: "I see no objection to your speaking to Mrs. Jeffries After all, she is your husband's stepmother. But I am free to onfesk that I don’t understand you. 1 am more than disappointed in your failure to keep your word You promised definitely that you would bring the witness here to-night On the strength of that promise I made state ments to Capt. Clinton which I have not been able to substantiate. The whole story looks like an invention on your part.” She held out her hands entreat- • ingly. "It's not an invention! Really, judge! Just a little while longer! You've been so kitd, so patient!” i There was a trace of anger in the lawyer's voice as he went on: | “I believed you Implicitly. You were so positive this woman would come forward." “She will —she will. Give me only j a few minutes more!” she cried. The lawyer looked at her as if puzzled. “A few minutes?” he said. Again he looked at her and then shook hl* head resignedly. “Well, it's certainly infectious!” he exclaimed. “I believe you again.” The door opened and Alicia appeared. The lawyer advanced politely to greet her. “Good evening, Mrs. Jeffries." Alicia shook hands with him, at the tame time looking inquiringly at Annie, who, by a quick gesture, told her I that the judge knew nothing of her ' secret. The lawyer went on: ; “Mrs. Jeffries, Jr., wishes to speak ,to you. I said I thought there’d be no objection: you don’t mind. May she?” “Yes," murmured Alicia "Your husband was here," said the ; judge. > - "My husband!” she cried, startled. Again she glanced Inquiringly at Annie and tried to force a smile. "Yes," said the lawyer; “hell be glad to know you're here. 11l tell j him.*’Turning to Annie, ho said: i When you're ready, ; lease Bend and —” I J “Very well, judge." The lawyer went out and Alicia turned round breathlessly. "My husband was here?” she exclaimed. “Yes.” Yov’ve Md Mr. Brewster nothing?” Annie shook her head. | “I couldn't!" she said. “I tried to, ; but I couldn’t. It seems so hard, doesn't ' it?" Alicia laughed bitterly and Annie went on: was afraid you weren’t I coming!" The train was late!” exclaimed Alicia evasively, "I went up to g tam . ford to say good-by to my mother.” “To say good-by?” echoed her companion in surprise. 5 es, ’ said the other tearfully T have said good-by to her—l have said good by to everybody—to everything—- | to myself—l must give them I must give myself Oh it isn't as bad as that surely f Alicia shook her head sadly. “Yes,' she said; reckoned it all up.

Annie paced the floor nervously. “Oh. this Is awful" she exclaimed “What are we to do" She looked toward Alicia, as if a . meeting some suggestion from her, but her companion was too mnra one whelmed to take any Initiative. "It does stun one. doesn't Its west on Annie. “You can't think when it comes all of a sudden like this, ffi just the way I felt the morning they showed me Howard’s confession.'' “Prison!
