eDo you need a man to work abou

Judge Parker looked up from his Law
books and papers to the questioner,
stalwart man, about thirty years of age
POOR, but geuteel, in appearance, and re
spectful in manner and speech.

II know it, SIR, but if you'll only try
me, l think you'll find that my faithful

Something about the mans bearing
and appearance strongly impressed Judge
Parker, inspiring desire to know more
of him, and he said:
"Wen, I'll tell you candidly that !

when man refuses to give his name,
there's always something wrong"
'There IS something wrong, sir-I'n
