full bearing, her refined, interesting
strong, yet sensitive mouth, Bromley,
Sr, decided that she was something
unique in the line desired; but this did
not preclude incompetency, and mem
cries of the inefficient blonde tinged
his views with black pessimism. He
addressed her in his most impressive
voice, rarely evoked except by a jury
of his peers;
HAS your training been sufficiently
thorough, Madam, to enable you to
perform with accuracy and celebrity
the work which varied practice such
as ours renders necessary"
Apparently she was not bit dis
concerted by this ponderous and re-
sonant challenge.
~ think can do your work, sir, J"
she said quietly. 81 have fair idea
of what my duties will be-"
Her eyes had not evaded his, and
she seemed to maintain q steady will
ingness to discuss the matter from his
standpoint.
The Judges preiudicial fortress was
valiantly stormed; but recent adver-
sity had strengthened its ramparts.
He did not waver, and delivered the
final blow that was to crush:
"Do you object to profanity"
"Not at ALL" she replied, cheerfully;
81 know so we'll how wearing a law
yer's queries are; and it must be such
relief to give vent to aburst OF pro-
family, now and then"
Her eyes met his steadily, and they
were so clear, so womanly and SYM
pathetic, that he experienced feeling
of discomfort.
"Er-well, you know, I don't do
much of that sort of thing, and-uh,
my sons O. member of the firm" A
provoking irritation of the larynx
here obliged the Judge to cough with
O. violence of exertion that seemed to
tamper with his memory, for he did
not revert to his weakness. He said:
'We shall be very glad to give you q
trial; if your work is satisfactory we
can arrange the terms, think. When
did you wish to begin?"
In defnance Of a universal pre-
cedent, the last applicant did not
here state that she was awfully out of

in heart beats; just one, stand

ed.
She received him with charming
hospitality, and ushered him into a
tastefully furnished little parlor with
which she harmonized we'll A brief
indulgence in the seasonable amenities
prefaced O. delightful chat, wherein
the Judge became youthful in his
wholesome exuberance. Already she
seemed to give him power to win her.
The moment was propitious, and he
did not shrink though hef the room
rowunaccountably warm. In answer
to her inquiry as to how he had pass
ed the day, he was about succinctly to,
impart the desired information, and
to conclude with an appealing out
line of the condition under which he
wished to pass the remainder of his
days, when a step grated on his ears,
and the bell was rung.
She stepped into the small entry and
admitted Bromley, Jr., glowing with
his walk and definite purpose. Fa-
ther and son greeted each other, the
latter somewhat stiffly, the former
heartily and with no symptom of sur
prise, though his inner consciousness
at this iuncture shall remain sacred.
The triunity disposed itself in the
little parlor, and Bromley, Jr., while
INDUCING in some very unfilial reflec-
tions, extemporized labored expla-
nation of how he had "called upon
Co.. - l,n 1,ayt 1o1s o1y ~ at
etc. This effort was received with
smiling cordiality by his hostess, with
bland incredulity by his father, and
then all three conversed with ANNA
ton, pleasantly stimulated by the
day, and by The fact that they were
together in novel atmosphere. Sud-
denly they noticed tender, light
beaming from the dark eyes of Mrs.
Gilner, revealing undreamed of vistas,
and eliminating with:
81 want you so much to meet my
husband; he is an invalid, you know,
and rarely gets a taste of the outside
world; and 1t will be such treat for
him."
Delighted" said Bromley, Sr.
ain fact, my call was partly about
your Observation-Disclosures see IL some
thing couldn't be done for him, you
know" and his ingenious face glowed
with disinterested benevolence. Brom-
ley, Sr. had practiced law for twenty
six years.
Bromley, Jr. was in painful state.
He seemed undecided whether to de-
mand an explanation, or rashly avow
disbelief in the existence of this hus-
band. Also, for some occolt reason,
he appeared to detect and resent q
latent ambiguity in his fathers eluci-
datlon of his motive in calling. Brom-
ley, Jr. had only graced the profession
two years.
Mrs. Gilner excused herself and fut-
tered out. She appeared again in q
moment, by drawing aside two fold
ing doors; and there he was, half re-
clining on low couch, o. big fellow,
with a pale, smooth, almost boyish
| face, with fretful lines between the eyes
that constantly appealed to her. He
greeted the Bromleys with the sad,
comprehensive smile of invalids. His
