CHAPTER XIX.
"V. VV.y
The Jeffries case suddenly entered
Into an entirely new phase, and once
more was deemed of sufficient public
interest to warrant column after col
umn of spicy comment in the news
papers. The town awoke one morn
ing to learn that the long-sought-for
witness, the mysterious woman on
whose testimony everything hinged,
had not only been found,but proved
to be the prisoner's own wife, who
had been so active in his defense.
This announcement was stupefying
enough to overshadow all other news
of the day, and satisfied the most
jaded palate for sensationalism.
The first question asked on all sides
was: Why had not the wife come for
ward before? The reason, as glibly
explained by an evening journal of
somewhat yellow proclivities, was log
ical enough. The telling of her mid
night visit to a single man's rooms
involved a shameful admission which
any woman might well hesitate to
make unless forced to it as a last
extremity. Confronted, however, with
the alternative of either seeing her
husband suffer for a crime of which
he was innocent or making public ac
knowledgment of her own frailty, she
had chosen the latter course. Nat
urally, it meant divorce from the bank
er's son, and undoubtedly this was the
solution most wished for by the family.
The whole unsavory affair conveyed a
good lesson to reckless young men of
wealth to avoid entangling them
selves In undesirable matrimonial ad
ventures. But it was no less certain,
went on this journalistic mentor, that
this wife, unfaithful as she had proved
herself to be, had really rendered her
The new turn of affairs was nat
urally most distasteful to the police.
If there was one thing more than
another which angered Capt. Clinton it
was to take the trouble to build up a
case only to hare It suddenly demol
ished. He scoffed at the "suicide let
ter," safely committed to Judge Brew
ster's custody, and openly branded it
as a forgery concocted by an immoral
woman for the purpose of defeating
the ends of justice. He kept Annie a
prisoner and defied the counsel for
the defense to do their worst. Judge
Brewster, who loved the fray, accept
ed the challenge. He acted promptly.
He secured Annie's release on habeas
corpus proceedings and, his civil suit
•gainst the city having already begun
in the courts, he suddenly called Capt.
Clinton to the stand and gave him
grilling which more than atoned for
*ny which the police tyrant had pre
viously made his victims suffer. In
the limelight of a sensational trial, in
which public servants were charged
with abusing positions Of trust, he
•howed Capt. Clinton up as a bully and
a grafter, a bribe-taker, working hand
and glove with dishonest politicians,
not hesitating even to divide loot with
thieves and dive-keepers in his greed
(or wealth. He proved him to be a
consummate liar, a man who would
Btop at nothing to gain his own ends.
What jury would take the word of
such a man as this? Yet this was .the
man who still insisted that Howard
Jeffries was guilty of the shooting
of Robert Underwood!
But public opinion was too intelll
Cent to be hoodwinked for any length
or time by a brutal and ignorant po
liceman. There was a clamor for the
prisoner's release. The evidence was
such that further delay was inexcus
able. The district attorney, thus
urged, took an active interest in the
case, and after going over the new evi
dence with Judge Brewster, went be
fore the court and made formal, ap
plication for the dismissal of the com
plaint. A few days later Howard Jef
fries left the Tombs amid the cheers
of a crowd assembled outside. At his
side walked his wife, now smiling
through tears of joy.
It was a glad home-coming to the
little flat in Harlem. To Howard, aft
er spending so long a time In the
narrow prison quarters, it seemed like
paradise, and Annie walked ton air, so
delighted was she to have him with
her again. Yet there were still anxi-1 —and the newspapers!

Weeks passed, and Howard's health
did not improve. He had tried to find
a position, but without success, yet
every day brought its obligations
which had to be met. One morning

their frugal luncheon. She had Just

went to the door and opened it. Dr.

said, cheerily. Putting down his medi

"All right, doctor. He had a splen

"Never mind, I want to talk to you."
Seriously, he went on: "Mrs. Jeffries,
your husband needs a change of scene.
He's worrying. That fainting spell the
other day was only a symptom. I'm
afraid he'll break down unless—"
"Unless what?" she demanded, anx
iously.
He hesitated for a moment, as if un
willing to give utterance to words he
knew must inflict pain. Then he
quickly continued:
"Your husband Is under a great
mental strain. His inability to sup

proper sphere in the social world is

after what her husband had under

as anything else. Howard worried

I was talking to his father last ni^ht,
and—"
"And what?" she demanded, draw
ing herself up. She suspected what
was coming, and nerved herself to
meet It.
"Now, don't regard me as an enemy,"
said the doctor in a conciliatory
tone. "Mr. Jeffries inquired after hiB
son. Believe me, he's very anxious.
He knows he did the boy. a great in
justice, and he wants to make up
for It."
"Oh, ha does?" she exclaimed, sar
castically.
Dr.Bernsteln hesitated for a moment
before replying. Then he said, lightly:
"Suppose Howard goes abroad for a
few months with his father and
mother?"
"Is that the proposition?" sha de
manded.
The doctor nodded.
"I believe Mr. Jeffries has already
spoken about it to his son," he said.
Annie choked back a sob and, cross
ing the room to conceal her emotion,
stood with her back turned, looking
out of tha window. Her voice was
trembling as she said:
I "He wants to separate us, I know.

for a moment, and then went on: "So

think, so, too. At first I thought It
was because of tbe latter. Mr. Under

stand in his light, even if it doesn't
exactly make me the happiest woman
in the world, but don't let it trickle
Into your mind that I'm doing it for
his father's sake."
At that moment Howard entered
from the Inner room. He was sur
prised to see Dr. Bernstein.
"How do you feel to-day?" asked the
doctor.
"First rate! Oh, I'm all right. You
see, I'm just going to eat a bite. Won't
you Join us?"
He sat down at the table and picked
up the newspaper, while Annie busied
herself with carrying in the dishes.
"No, thank you," laughed the doctor.
"It's too early for me. I've only Just
had breakfast, dropped in to see
how you were." Taking up his bag,
he said: "Good-by! Don't get up. I
can let myself out."
But Annie had already opened the
door for him, and smiled a farewell.
When she returned to her seat at the
head of the table, and began to pour
out the coffee, Howard said:
"He's a pretty decent fellow, isn't
he?"
"Yes," she replied, absent-mindedly,
as she passed a cup of coffee.
"He made a monkey of Capt. Clin
ton all right," went on Howard. "What
did he come for?"
"To see you—of course," she re
plied.
"Oh, I'm all right now," he replied.
Looking anxiously at his wife across
the table, he said: "You're the one
that needs tuning up. I heard you
crying last night. You thought I was
asleep, but I wasn't. I didn't say any
thing beaause—well—I felt kind of
blue myself."
Annie sighed and leaned her head
on her hand. Wearily she said:
"I was thinking over all that we've
been through together, and what
they're saying about ub—"
Howard threw down his newspaper
impatiently.
"Let them say what they like. Why
should we care as long as we're
happy?"
His wife smiled sadly.
"Are we happy?" she asked, gently.
"Of course we are," replied How
ard.
She looked up and smiled. It was
good to hear him say so, but did he
mean it? Was she doing right to
stand in the way of his career? Would
he not be happier If she left him? He
was too loyal to suggest it, but per
haps in his heart he desired it. Look
ing at him tenderly, she went on:
"I don't question your affection for
me, Howard. I believe you love me,
but I'm afraid that, sooner or later,
you'll ask yourself the question all
your friends are asking now, the ques
tion everybody seems to be asking."
"What question?" demanded How
ard.
"Yesterday the bell rang and a gen
tleman said he wanted to see you. I
told him you were out, and he said
I'd do just as well. He handed me a
(iard. On it was the name of the news
paper he represented."
"Well?"
"He asked me if it were true that
proceedings for a divorce were about
to be instituted. If so, when? And
could I give him any information on
the subject? I asked him who wanted
the information ,and he said the read
ers of his paper—the people—I believe
he said over a million of them. Just
think, Howard! Over a million peo
ple, not counting your father, your
friends and relations, all waiting to
know why you don't get rid of me,
why you don't believe me to be as bad
as they think I am—"
Howard raised his hand for her
to desist.
"Annie—please!" he pleaded.
"That's the fact, isn't it?" she
laughed.
"No."
His wife's head dropped on the table.
She was crying now.
"I've made a hard fight, Howard,"
she sobbed, "but I'm going to give up.
I'm through—I'm through!"
Howard took hold of her hand and
carried it to his lips.
"Annie, old girl," he said, with soma
feeling, "I may be weak, I may be
blind, but nobody on top of God's green
earth can tell me that you're not the
squarest, straightest little woman, that
ever lived! I don't care a damn what
one million or eight million think.
Supposing you had received letters
from Underwood, supposing you had
gone to his rooms to beg him not to
kill himself—what of it? It would be'
for a good motive, wouldn't it? Let
them talk all the bad of you they want.
I don't believe a word of it—you know
I don't."
She looked up and smiled through
her tears.
"You're so good, dear," she ex
claimed. "Yes, I know you believe in
me." She stopped and continued, sad
ly: "But you're only a boy, you know.
What of the future, the years to
come?" Howard's face became se
rious, and she went on: "You see
you've thought about it, too, and you're
trying to hide it from me. But you
can't. Your father wants you to go
abroad with the family."
"Well?"
He waited and looked at her curi
ously as If wondering what her an
swer would be. He waited some time,
and then slowly she said:
"I think—you had better go!"
"You don't mean that!" ha ex
claimed, in genuine surprise.
She shook her head affirmatively.
"Yes, I do," she said "your father
wants you to take your position In
the world, the position you are entitled
to, the position your association with
me prevents you from taking—"
Howard drummed his fingers on the
tablecloth and looked out ot tha win
dow. it seemed to her that Us voice
no longer had tha same candid ring as
ha replied:
"Yes, father has spoken to me about
it. Ha wants to be friends, and I—"
He paused awkwardly, and then add*
ad: "I. admit I've—I've promised to
consider it, but—"
Annie finished his sentence for him
"You're going to accept his offer,
Howard. You owe It to yourself, to
your jfamlly, and tor-" Sha laughed
as sha added: "I was going to say to

claimed:
"Why do you talk in this way againat
your own interests? You know I'd
like to be friendly with my family,
and all that. But it wouldn't be fair
to you."
"I'm not talking against myself,
Howard. I want you to be happy, and
you're not happy. You can't be happy
under these conditions. Now be hon
est with me—can you?"
"Can you?" he demanded.
"No," she answered, frankly, "not
unless you. are." Slowly she went on:
"Whatever happiness I've had in life
I owe to you, and God knows you've
had nothing but trouble from me. I
did wrong to marry you, and I'm
willing to pay the penalty. I've evened
matters up with your family now let
me try and square up with you."
"Evened up matters with my fam
ily?" he exclaimed in surprise. "What
do you mean?"
With a smile she replied ambigu
ously:
"Oh, that's a little private matter of
my own!" He stared at her, unable
to comprehend, and she went on,
gravely: "Howard, you must do
what's best for yourself. I'll pack
your things. You can go when you
please—"
He stared gloomily out of the win
dow without replying. After all, he
thought to himself, it was perhaps for
the best. Shackled as he was now,
he would never be able to accomplish
anything. If they separated, his father
would take him into his business.
Life would begin for him all over
again. It would be better for her,
too. Of course, he would never for
get her. He would provide for her
comfort. His father would help him
arrange for that. Lighting a cigar
ette, he said, carelessly:
"Well—perhaps you're right May
be a little trip through Europe wofl't
do me any harm."
"Of course not," she said, simply.
Busy with an obstinate match, he
did not hear the sigh that accom
panied her words or see the look of
agony that crossed her face.
"But what are you going to do?" he
Inquired, after a silence.
With an effort, she controlled her
voice. Not for all the world would
she betray the fact that -her heart
was breaking. With affected Indif
ference, she replied:
"Oh, I shall be all right. I shall
go and live somewhere in the country
for a few months. I'm tired of the
clvy."
"So am I," he rejoined, with a ges
ture of disgust. "But I hate like th6
deuce to leave you alone."
"That's nothing," she said, hastily.
"A trip abroad is just what you
need." Looking up at him, she added:
"Your face has brightened up al
ready!"
He stared at her, unable to under
stand.
"I wish you could go with me."
She smiled.
"Your father's society doesn't make
quite such an appeal to me as it does
to you." Carelessly, she added:
"Where are you going—Paris oi
London?"
He sent a thick cloud of smoke curl
ing to the ceiling. A European trip
was something he had long looked for
ward to.
"London—Vienna—Paris," he re
plied, gayly. With a laugh, he went
on: "No, I think I'll cut out Paris.
I'm a married man I mustn't forget
that!"
Annie looked up at him quickly.
"You've forgotten it already," she
said, quietly. There was reproach in
her voice as she continued: "Ah,
Sha Gave Way Completely.
Howard, you're such a boy! A little
pleasure trip and .the past is
to*
gotten!"
A look of perplexity came over his
face. Being only a man, he did not
grasp quickly the finer shades jof hel
meaning. With some irritation, he da
manded:
"Didn't you say you wanted ma to
go and forget?" 8'
She nodded.
"Yes, I do, Howard. You've made
me happy. I want you to be happy."
Ha looked puzzled.
"You say you love me?" he said,
"and yet you're happy because I'm go
ing away. I don't follow that Una oi
reasoning."
"It Isn't reason," she said with a
smile, "it's what I feel. I guess a man
wants to have what ha loves and a
woman Is satisfied to lova just what
she wants. Anyway, I'm glad. I'm
glad you're going. Go and tell your fa

Taking his hat, he said «/l

THREE YEARS LATE.
A .Train That Won1 tha Behind Time
Record Medal.
A train .of a railway system In tbe
southwest once arrived at Its destina?
tlon nearly three years late. The cir
cumstances were these:
The train left Bolivar, just across
Galveston bay from Galveston, on
Sept 8, 1900. and was caught In the
great storm that so nearly destroyed
the Texan city. Bolivar Is seventy
five miles from Beaumont, which was
the point of the train's destination.
Before the train had traveled far on
Its journey It was caught in the storm.
Thirty miles of tbe track were washed
away, and tbe train was left stranded
on a sandy waste. Many persons wb
lived on Bolivar peninsula were .saved
from death by taking refuge In the
train: After the storm subsided they
walked to Bolivar with the passengers,
but the abandoned train was left: ont
the prairie.
The storm bankrupted tbe railway.:
and no effort to rescue tbe engine and
cars was made until 1903. Hadi: not
the road suffered so seriotisly in that
storm the property would have proved

Something New In
Kitchen Ware
The "1892" Pure Spun Aluminum Ware is rapidly'
coming into use for cooking purposes. It is taking
the place of agate and enamel ware because while its
first cost is a trifle more than ordinary ware, it is
really much cheaper in the long run, as .it is guaran
teed for twenty-five years and. will last practically
a life time.
The genuine "1892" Ware, made only from pare
SPUN (not cast) Aluminum, will not crack, scale, peel,
break, scorch or burn.
It looks like silver but weighs only about one
quarter as much, is easily cleaned and handled, and
will not. rust corrode or tarnish. Absolutely pure,
non-poisonous and wholesome saves money, time
doctor's bills.
Be sure you get the original and gen.
•line' ware stamped with the Malta**
""toss. At your dealer*.
