\ Now John was all this time study
ing upon very important lawsuit
soon to come TO trial. It involved
the title to large tract of land worth
many thousands of dollars, and IN
successfully carried through would
give him the reputation and position
as q lawyer, which he was 90 anxious
to obtain. He had undertaken the
case after 1t had been declined by
many older lawyers who considered
IL too doubtfn to be worth prosecut-
ing. But John believed In the Just
ness of the claim he knew, how
ever, that many keen, professional
eyes We're Watching him, and that
his case was considered desperate.
But he had faith and resolution, and
was determined to win, although
how, he did not clearly see. This II
was which made him 40 distracted
and pre;occupied, SO nervous and ir.
ritable. and which caused him to
drink SO much strong tea. aW

unusually Timpatisnt--ths baby had
kept Mary aap ALI The night before

and remonstrats sharply with him
on the way, respecting his treatment
OF Mary. But I found the Office
closed.
