CHAPTER XII.:
The American dearly loves a sen
sation, and the bister and more blood
curdling it is the b' tter. Nothing is
more gratifying on arising in the
morning and sitting down to partake
of a daintily served breakfast than to
glance hurriedly over the front page
of one's favorite newspaper and see it
{covered with startling headlines. It
matters little what has happened dur
ing the night to shock the community,
so long as it satisfies one's appetite
for sensational news. It can be a
fatal conflagration, a fearful railroad
wreck, a gigantic bank robbery, a hor
I rible murder, or even a scandalous
divorce case. All one a-ks is that It
be something big, v.ith column after
column of harrowing details. The
newspapers are fully alive to what 1b
expected of them, but it Is not always
easy to supply the demand. There

theory of suicide was borne out to
some extent by an interview with Dr.

that he no means convinced of
the prisoner's guilt, and hinted that
the alleged confession might have
te--n forced from hun by the police,
while in a hj r-nctie state. This th-
fry. belitt.ing as It did their pet sen
sation. did not suit the policy of the
yt-iiow press, so the learned profes
sor at once became the target for edi
torial attack.
The sensaticr. grew in importance
as the day for the trial approached
Ail New York was agog with excite
ment. The handsome Jeffries nnJn
r-i'n on Ri\. r.-'.d" driv was besieged
by callers. The guides on the sight
seeing coaches shouted through their
megaphones:
That the hous« here ih^ mur
derer of Rcbert 1'nderwood lived."
The immediate vicinity of the house
the day that the crime was made pub
lie was thronged with curious peo
ple. Th Hinds of the house were
drawn down as ii to shi-'ld the in
mates from observation, but there
were several cabs in front of the main
entrance and passers bv stopped on
the sidewalk, poiirir.g at the house A
number o: newspaper men stood in a
group, gathering fresh material for
the next edition. A reporter ap
proached rapidly from Broadway and
joined his colleagues.
"Weil, boys,'' he said cheerily. "Any
thing doing? Say, my paper is going
to have a buliy story to-morrow 1 Com
plete account by Cnderwood's valet.
He tells how he caught the murderer
just as he was escapiug from the
apartment. We'll have pictures and
everything It's fine Anything do
ing htre?" he demanded.
"Na«," grunted the others in dis
gruntled tones.
"We saw the butler." said one re
porter. "and tried to get a story from
him. but he flatly refused to talk. All
he would say was that Howard Jef
fries was nothing to the family, that
his father didn't care a straw what
became of him."
"That's pretty tough'" exclaimed
another reporter. "He's his son, aft
er all."
"Oh, you don't know old Jeffries."
chimed In a third. "When once he
makes up his mind you might as well
try to move a house."
The afternoon was g. t:irg o-i if
their papers were to print anything
more that day they must hasten down
town.
"l.et's make one more attempt to
get a talk out of the old man," sug
gested one enterprising scribe.
"All right," cried the others in
chorus. "You go ahead. We'll fol
low in a body and back you up."
Passing through 'he front gate, they
rang the bell, and after a brief par
ley were adm!tt".'i to the house. They
had hardly disappeared when a cab
drove hurriedly up and stopped at the
curb. A young woman, heavily veiled,
descended, paid the driver, and walked
'juickly through the gates toward the
house.
Annie tried to feel brave, but her
heart misgave her when she saw this
splendid home with all its evidence of
Mr Compton got this silver dollar

a head on each side of the dollar t.n

The butler opened the door, and sum

"Is Mr Jeffries in?"
To her utter ama:emcr.t the butler
offered no objection to her entering.

room of noble proportions, the walls
of which were lined with bookshelves
filled with tcmes in rich bindings The
light that entered through the stained
glass windows cast a subdued half
light, warm and rich Ir. color, or. the
crimson plush furnishings. Near the
heavy fiat desk in the center of the
room a tall, distinguished man was
standing listening il-precatingly tc
the half dozen report-rs who Were
bombarding him with questions. As
Ar.nie entered the rocm she caught
the words of his reply:
"The young man who has inheritefl
my name has chosen his own path In

completely separated him from his

The banker looked at her a nuv

foot. Then he said coldly:
"Madam. 1 have no son.",. He hesi.
tated. and added:
"1 don't recognize—"
She looked at him pleadingly,
"But I want to speak to you, sir."
Mr. Jeffries shook his head, and
moved toward the door.
"I repent. I have nothing to say."
Annie planted herself directly in his
path. Ho could not reach tho door
unless he removed her forcibly
"Mr. Jeffries," she said earnestly,
"please don't refuso to hear me—

COMING
BY NIGHT
By REV. CYKUS TOWNSEND BRADY
eii-
Annie, who had b-"-s listening !a
tentlv, at onco saw her opportunity
Mr. Jeffries had taken no notice oi
her presence, believing her to be
newspaper writer like the others. As
the reporters took their departure
and filed out of the room, she re
mained behind. As the last one disap
peared she turned to the banker anc
said:
"May 1 speak to you a moment?"
He turned quickly ar.d looked at het
in surprise. For the iirst time he
was conscious of her presence, now.
Ing courteously, he shook his head:
"1 am afraid I can do nothing foi
you madam—as I've Just explained tr
your confreres of tho press."
Annie looked up at him. and said
boldly:
"I am not a reporter. Mr. JeiTries.
am your sou's wife."
The banker started back in amaze-!
ment. This woman, whom he had
taken for a newspaper reporter, was
an Interloper, an Impostor, the very
last woman in the world whom lit
would have peruiitte-d to be admitted
to his house. Hi' considered that she.
as much as anybody else, had con
tributed to his sou's ruin. Yet wlial
could he do? She was there, and he
was too much of a gentleman to have
her turned out bodily Wondering at
his silence, she repeated softly:
"I'm your son's wife. Mr. Jeffries.":
