,'She seems to have relied completely on
some assurance of yours that her divorce
would be good. Philip tried to speak calmly
to this man. who held his Garling's fate in
the hollow of his hand but lis voice trem
bled, and almost broke.
"You are rot WE'LL exclaimed the lawyer,
and he opened another drawer il his desk
and drew out a square shaped, yellow colored
bottle Take swallow of this"
Philip clutched it eagerly. He thought
now he could understand how man might
want to drown all pride and sense in drunk
enness. He poured the crude stuff down his
parched throat as if it were water One
swallow was not enough, nor were two, but
when he set the bottle upon the table at last,
the lawyer resumed:
"And so it would have been good, nine
times out of ten, good enough to make all
parties concerned comfortable A document

As q man thinketh, so is he. Parties divorced
by my fist alone, remarry and raise children,

Philip had taken out his pockctbook He
found $50 bill; then he drew a check for
$3.50 The poor lawyer eyed the money with
4 great tenderness; his heart softened at
sight OF it, and the love of appreciation, that
never dies out of even the most degraded
soul stirred in his.

as he took up the money; II know lots OF
men who in my place wouldn't have let you

"Your circle of friends must be very
