MIR. BOLD0N'S E%XPEDIENT,

tarv public, as he sat alone in his Office
in High street, Nestborough, one October
morning.
And truly Mr.. James Boldon's position
was not a happy one. He was a young
man, lately admitted as a solicitor, and
he had spent all his little capital to no
purpose in trying to make a practice
for himself in the town of Westborough.
He was almost a stranger in the town,
and, although he had been there nearly
a year he had hardly succeeded in max
ing an acquaintance, much less In gam
ing clients. The report that there was
-an opening" in the place, on the strength
of which he had come there, had proved
TO be entirely f%allacious. The town was
lust large enough to hide him. II was
in vain that he went regularly TO 81
Amrm.tinc's Mission chapel, IN the nope
Of Mn,iu. his name put on the bulidlhg
c"nn..n.froc of the new church; in VAIN that
L. .~s.nirnted at proper hours the
Ltr,-l-room of the new Royal hotel;
Ina t,i that he %seduously attended the
,s,tiut, court and the police court with
4 rl.z,I black bag that held nothing
at new paper and one or two law
i..nl. Business would not come to him.
