"That was hard luck nothing but hard luck. You're not going to make me responsible for that, are you? Why, I was only eight years old when that happened. Could I have pre vented it?" Recklessly she went on: "Well, blarae It on me if you want to, but don't hold It up against Howard He didn't know it when he married me. He never would have known It but for the detectives employed by you to dig up my family history, and the newspapers did the rest. God! what they didn't say! I never real ized I was of so much Importance. They printed It fn scare-head Hues. It made a Cue sensation for the plllc, but It destroyed my peace of miad." "A convict's daughter:" said Mr. Jeffries contemptuously. "lie was a good man at that:" she answered hotly. "He kept the squarest poolroom in Manhattan, but he re fused to pay police blackmail, acd be was railroaded to prison." Indig nantly she went on: "If my father's shingle had been up fn Wall street, and he'd made CO dishonest millions, you'd forget H next morniEg, and you'd welcome me with open arms.

"I've completely cut tim off from the family. It s as If he were dead." She approached nearer and laid her hand gently on lb banker's arm. "Don't say that. Mr. Jeffries.

Sarcastically, be said: "And you took advantage of the fact and married tim?" For a moment she made no reply. She felt the reproach was not unmer ited, but why should they blame her for seeking happiness? Was she cot entitled to It as much as any other woman? She had not married How ard for his social position or his money. In fact she had been worse off since her marriage than she was before. She married him because she loved him, and because she thought ehe could redeem him, acd she was ready to go through any amount of j suffering to prove her disinterested devotion. Quietly, she said: "Yes, I know I did wrong. But I I love him, Mr. Jeffries. Believe me cr not I love bira. It's my only ex cuse. I thought I could take care of him. He needed some one to look aft er him, he's too easily l:;3uer.ced. You know his character is not so strong as It might be. He toid me that his fellow students at college used to hyp notize him and nrake him do ail kinds of things to amuse the other boys. He says that somehow he's never been the same since. I I Just loved him because I was strong and be was weak. I thought I could protect tim. But now this terrible thing fcas hap pened, and I find I am powerless. It's too much for me. I can't Eght this battle alone. Won't you help me. Mr. Jeffries?" ehe added pleadingly. "Won't yoe help me?" The banker was thoughtful a min ute, then suddenly he turned on her. "Will you consent to a divorce If I agree to help him?" She looked at him with dismay. There was tragic tenseness In this dramatic situation a father Cghting for bis son, a woman Cghting for her husband. "A divorce?" ehe stammered. "Why, I never thought of such a thing as that." "It's the only way to save lirn," said the banker coldly. "The only way?" she faltered. "The only way," said Mr. Jeffries firmly. "Do you consent?" he asked. Annie threw up her bead. Her pale face wis fH cf tit-tena. nation, as she replied resignedly, catching her breath as she spoke: "Yes, if It must be. I will consent to a divorce to save him!" "You will leave the country and go abroad to live?" continued the banker coldly. She listened as in a dream. That she would be confronted by such an alternative as this bad never entered her mind. She wondered why the world was so crutd and heartless. Yet if the sacrifice rouet be made to save Howard she was ready to make It "You will have America and never return Is that understood?" repeated the banker. "Yea. sir," he replied, filterlngly. Mr. Jeffries paced cervously up and down the room. For the Srtt time be seemed to take an Interebt In the Interview. Patronizingly he said: "You will receive a yearly allow ance through my lawyer." Annie tossed up her chin defiantly. She would thaw the aristocrat that she couid be as proud as he was. Thanks," L exclaimed. "I don't f v ac-cj-t charity. Tm used to rB!af tr.y ewa !:vi:"..g."

' Not even to say good-by?" sh sobbed. "No." rerlid Mr. Jeffries firmly. "Not even to say good by." "But what will he say? What will he think?" she cried. "He will see It Is for the best" an swered the banker. "He timself will thar.k you for your action." There was a lor.g silence, broke-a only by the sound of the giil'a scb bing. Finally she said: "Very well. sir. Ill do as yu say." She locked up. Her eyes were dry. the lines about her mouth set and de termined. "N'ow," she said, "what are you going to do for fcim?" The banker made a gesture of Im patience, as If such considerations were cot important "I don't kcow yet," he said, haught ily. "I shail think the matter over carefully." Annie was fast losing patience. Bhe was willing to sacriSce herself and give up everything she held dear la life to save the man she loved, but tie cold, deliberate, calculating atti tude of this unnatural father exas perated her. "But I want to know," she said, boldly. "I want to consider the mat ter carefully, too." "Your sneered Mr. Jeffries. "Yes, sir," she retorted. "I'm pay ing dearly for It with my with all I have. I want to know just what you're going to give him for It" He wss lost In r2ect!on for a mo ment then he said, pompously: "I shall furnish the money for tha employment of such legal talent as may be necessary. That's as far as I wish to go In the case. It must not bo known I cannot allow It to be known that I am helping h!m." "Must cot be known?" cried Annie, in astonishment "You mean you won't stand by him? YouU only Just pay for the lawyer?" The banker r.cdded: "That is ail I can promise." She laughed hysterically. "Why," she exclaimed. "T I could do that myself if Ii tried hard enough." "I can promise nothing more," re plied Mr. Jeffries, coldly. "But that Is not enough," she pro tested. "I wast you to come fcrward and publicly declare your belief la your son's Innocence. I want you to put your arms around him and say to the world: 'My boy la Innocent! I know ft acd I'm going to stand by him.' You won't do that?" Mr. Jeffries shook tig head. "It Is In-possible." The wife's pent-up feelings cow gave way. The utter Indifference of this aristocratic father aroused her Indignation to such a pitch that she became reckless of the consequences. They .wanted ber to desert him, JuBt as ttey deserted him. but she wouldn't She would show them the kind of woman 6he was. "So:" she cried la an outburst cf mingled anger and grief. "So his fam ily muht desert him and his wife must leave him! The poor boy must stand absolutely alone In ths world, and face a trial for t!s life! la that the Idea?" The banker made no reply. Snap ping her fingers, she went on: "Well, It Isn't mine. Mr. Jeffries! I wont consent to a divorce! I won't leave America! -And I'll see him just as often as I can, even If I hava to sit In the Tombs prison !1 day. As for tis defence, I'll find some one. I'll go to Judge Brewster again and If b still refuses, I'll go to some one el-. There mutt be some good, big hearted lawyer In this great city who'll Inks up his cape." Trembling with emotion, she read justed ber veil and with her handker chief dried ber tear-stained face. Go ing toward the door, the said: "You needn't trouble yourself any mora, Mr. Jeffries. We shan't need your help. Thank you very much for the interview. It was very klmf of you to listen so patluiitly. Good afrer nocm, sir." Before the astonished banker could stop her, she tad thrown back th tapestry sinl disappeared through t!j ooor.
