"They're In a (operate part of the
prison," replied the keeper.
"Unt it dreadful!" the murmured.
"Not at ail," he ex ol aimed cheer
fully. "These prisoner fare better in
prison than ther do outside, I wager
some of them are eorry to leave."
"Bat It's dreadful to be coo pad up

"Not so bad aa H looks." be laughed.
"They are allowed, to oome out In the

"Where Is my husband's celir she
whispered, almost dreading to hear
the reply.
"There It Is," he said, pointing to a
door. "No. 466."
Walking rapidly ahead of her and
stopping at one of the cell doors, be
rapped loudly on the Iran grating and
cried:
"Jeffries, here's a lady oome to see
you. Wake up there I"
A white, drawn faoe approached the
grating. Annie sprang forward.
"Howard I" she sobbed.
"Is it you, Annie T" came a weak
Tolce through the bars.
"Can't I go tn to UlmT she asked
pleadingly.
The keeper shook kla bead.
"No, m'm, you must talk through
the bars, but I wont disturb you."
He walked away and the husband
and wife were left facing each other.
Tha tears were streaming down An
nie's cheeks, tt was dreadful to be
standing there so close and yet not
be sole to throw her arms around him.
Her heart ached a she aaw the dis

"Why didn't you oome before" he
asked.
"I could not. Tbey wouldn't let me.
Oh, Howard." she gasped. "What a

He put his hand to his head aa If tt

agony of a terrible suspicion crossed
bar mind. Was U possible that In a
moment of drunken recklessness . he
had shot Underwood? Quickly, almost
breathlessly, she whispered to htm:
"Tell me quickly, 'tis not true, is UT
You did not kill Robert Underwood."

"Ah!" Interrupted Annie. "Too, too,
heard a woman's Tolce. Capt Clinton
said there was a woman In it"
Thoughtfully, as If to herself, she
added: '"We must find that woman."
"When I woke up," continued How
ard, "It, was dark. , Groping around
for thy electric light I stumbled oyer
something. It was Underwood's dead
body. How he came by his death 1
hare not the slightest Idea. I at once
realised the dangerous position I was
In and I tried to leave the apartment

Underwood's man serrant airlyed and

"You will get out" she cried. Tm

lawyer In the country Richard Brew

ard. "He's my father's lawyer."
"I saw your father yesterday after
noon," lbs said quietly.
"Ton did 1 " he exclaimed, surprised.
"Was hs willing to reoelye your
"He had to," she replied. " gare
him a piece of my mind."
Howard looked at her in mingled
amasement and admiration. That aba
should hare dared to confront a man
as proud and obstinate as his father
astounded him.
'What did he sayr he asked eag
erly.
1 asked him to come publicly to
your support and to glre you legal
assistance. He refused, saying he
could not be placed In a position of
condoning such a crime and that your
behavior and your marriage had made
him wash his hands of you forever ."
Tears filled Howard's eyes snd his
mouth quivered.
"Then my father believes me gnflty
ot this horrible crime r he exclaimed.
"He Insisted that you must be guilty,
as you had confessed. He offered,
though, to give you legal assistance,
hut only on one condition."
"What was that condition r be de
manded. "That I consent to a divorce," re
plied Annie quietly.
"What did you sayr
"I said Td consent to anything if It
would help you, hot whoa he told me
that even then ha would not oome per
sonally to your support I told alia we
would worry along without his aa

"Too "re a brave UtUe woman!"
cried Howard. Noticing aar pale, ga

"Oh, never Brmd sm," aha rejoined
alokly. "What we mast do now la to

"We'll see," she said quietly. "He'U

alt-day for weeks. I have decided to
have Judge Brewster defend you be
cause I believe It would mekn ac
quittal. He will build up a defense
that will defeat all the lies that the
police have concocted. The police have
a strong case because of your alleged
confession. It will take a strong law

added: "Howard, If your life Is to be

"All right dear," he replied. "I
can only leave It In your hands. I
know that whatever you do will be for

I can. My only comfort is thinking
of you, dear.'
A heavy step resounded In the corri

"Time's up. m'm," he said civilly.
Annie thrust her hand through the
bars; Howard carried it reverently to
his Hps.
"Oood-by, dear," she said. "Keep
op your courage. Tou'U know that I
am working for your release every

"Oood-by, darling," hs murmured.
He looked at her longingly and
there were tears In her eyes as she

were-not many. .- A man ot such re
nown wW naturally expensive. Tew
could afford f to.' retain his serrioaa,
and In tact na wa seldom called upon
except to . act-: ta tha Interest ' of
wealthy oorporaOons. In these eases,
of ooarsa, his fees were enormous. Ha
had yary few private .clients; tat fact,
he, declined much,; private prkotlea
that was offered to . him. Ha had
been the legal adviser of Howard
Jeffries, Sr for many , years.' Tha

had won success togetherthe. oaa
In the banking business, tha other
in the service of the law. Aa im

highly remunerative, it was only nat

Mr. Jeffries as a client
Secluded In his private office, tbe
Judge waa busy at his desk, finishing
a letter. He folded It up, addressed
an envelope, then lit a cigar and
looked at the time. It was three
o'clock. The day's work waa about
over and hex smiled with satisfaction
as he thought of the automobile ride
In the park he would enjoy before
dressing and going to his club for din
ner. He felt in singularly good spir
its that afternoon. He had )uat won
in tbe court a very complicated case
which meant not only a handsome ad
dition to his bank account Out a
signal triumph over his legal oppo
nents. Certainly, fortune smiled on
him. He had no other immediate
cases on hand to worry about He
could look forward to a few weeks of
absolute rest He struck a bell on his
desk and a clerk entered. Handing
him the note he had Just written, ha
said:
"Have this sent at once by mes
senger." "Very well. Judge," answered tha
clerk.
"By the by," frowned the lawyer,
"baa that woman bean In to-day r
"Tee she sat in tha outer, office all
morning, trying ta saa you. We said
you were, out ot town, hut she did not
believe It She sat there till she got
tired. She had no idea that you went
out by another stairway."
"Humph," growled tha lawyer; "a
nice thing to be besieged Tin this man
ner. It she annoya me much longer,
I shall send for the polios."
At that moment another clerk ca
tered the room.
"What is It Mr. Jones r demanded
the lawyer.
"A lady to sea you. Judge," said tha
clerk, handing him a card.
The Uawyer glanced at tbe bit of
pasteboard, and said Immediately:
"Oh, yes, show bar in." j
The two clerks left the room and
Judge Brewster, after a glance la the
mirror to re-adjust his cravat turned
to greet bis visitor. The door opened
and Alicia entered. She was fault
lessly gowned, as usual, but aar man
ner was flurried and agitated. Evi
dently something had happened to up
set her, aad she had eosae to make
her husband's lawyer tha oonfldant of
her troubles. Tha Judge advanced
gallantly aad pointed to a chair.
"Good morning, my dear Mrs. Jed-

Chicago Cub's Playing at Third Base
Clinches Position for Him Msde
an Excellent Start
Jimmy Doyle, as the baseball season
creeps along, is steadily carving for
himself Into the position of permanent
third baseman on the Chicago team.
With every game his work improves,
and he is succeeding exceedingly well
in working with Tinker. Dally be is
lessening Heinle Zimmerman's pros
pects ot regaining the Job at the tar
corner when Johnny Evers returns to
the team.
His work in the field and at the
plata Is taking on the aspect of a vet-
Jimmy Doyle
eran, as he is 'rapidly gaining
knowledge and experience.
In
For the present Msnager Chance
has no idea of taking him off the In
field when Evers returns.
Tbe possibility of Doyle being re
moved Is when he begins to have a
slump. There seems to be little
chance of that taking place, as Doyle
Is determined to reach the height of
his ambition. That Is to become tbe
permanent player of a major league
club.
He has made an excellent start and
says he Is to make a noble fight to
keep It up.
No strong objections can be made
on his work up to data, with tbe prob
able exceptions to a little poor field
Ing. That probably was dus to a
streak ot nervousness a youngster
usually possesses when given hla first
ehanoa to prove ha Is capable ot 00m'
paling la major league company. This
Bervousneaa la rapidly wearing away,
as has been shown by his work la bis
recent games.

"Wa will do It with our pitchers,"
be says. "No team In tbe league has
anything on us In the box, and It we
were as strong elsewhere I would be
talking pennant Instead of heading
the second division."
Red Dooln got his idea of tagging
base runners from watching foot
ball.
A pitcher who Is not worth 5,000
this year does not seem to be In the

President Lynch's "Indefinite sus

Barney Dreyfuss may have spent

Ted Tenney may surprise every
one by whipping his ex-Cub and ex

A great many of the fans do not
take much stock In the belief that
the Tigers are on the toboggan.
Because of bis no-hlt game with
Buffalo, Manager Dooln of Philadel
phia will recall Pitcher Brennan.
By the way, wasn't it Alexander
who said that he and Moore alone
could carry tbe Phillies to a pennant?
There is one player Russell of Bos
ton says he won't trade, and that Is
Sweeney, for whom Cincinnati made
offers.
Jimmy McAleer seems to have
picked up a good hitter In C. Walker.
The left fielder has been getting hits
frequently.
Ty Cobb has been showing Joe
Jackson bow he makes his fall-away
slide and Jackson is making good use
of it since.
So many buyers are after the
Doves that President Russell Is be
ginning to think he owns something
worth while after all.
The Cardinals have purchased
Pitcher Woodbum of the Dnluth
team, but the youngster will not re
port until next spring.
Cyrus Morgan of the Athletics tried
to find out whether an electric fan
