HE TRUSTED THE JUDGE.
And Didn't Need to Read His Opinion
Before Endorsing 1t.


A good story is told regarding the thor
ough knowledge OF the law possessed by
Judge Walton of the Maine Supreme Bench,
and The vast responsibility that the younger
Judges always feel resting upon them. 1t
so happened That one of Judge Walton's
opinions came to the late Judge Virgin while
one of the younger judges of the Supreme.
Bench was calling on him. The opinion had
reference 10 very important and compli-
Gated case, and the main facts were fresh in
the minds OF both Judges.
Judge Virgin took the document from the
envelope. "Hellow he exclaimed, tits one
of Watons." Then, without even glancing
at the contents, Judge Virgin took up his
pen and proceeded to write William Writ
Virgin across the back. what" said the
younger Judge. in surprise, you're not
going to sign that opinion before you read
it?" Judge Virgin stopDed writing. and,
looking up, said "Mr. Blank, this opinion
is drawn by Judge Walton. 1t is upon a
question of law. Judge Walton knows the
law aud this is all right" Then Judge
Virgin tnrned to his desk and completed
the writing Of his signature.

bl ssoms, and sticking them in the mares
bride ride on.
Your way lies down narrow footpath,
through a grove where the woodehOppers
have evidently been busy. On every side
the tall, slender eucalyptus trees lie low
and the air is full of the pungent odor from
their cut trunks and crushed leaves. Every
now and then the mare leaps lightly over
ono lying across the pathway as she
pushes on down the ravine. Ah, here
Does she refuse it? Or no, she has
only stopped to Put down her nose and take
drink from the little rivuiet running clear
as crystal at her feet. OIL reflect that you
will be obliged to ride back bit and you
give her little gallop to carry her over, for
although not wide, the stream is deep and
the banks too steep TO admit OF wading.
She has drunk her fill. and, lifting her head,
gances to right and left, with an inquiring
air, then, ere you can turn her, with an easy
bound she has cleared the ditch and is can
tering gently along, leaping a fallen trunk
before you have really recovered your
shaken equilibrium. A very neat standing
jump. Future" dear. A few more such
will give you quite little confidence IN
those SCARED knees.
You are passing through thicket now;
a dense underground that has almost
choked the path. The branches of tie
swamp willow hang so low that you are
obliged TO lie close along the mares neck
as Sile pushes HeT way lHlO tut ldESie. Ou
wonder a little where you are coming out,
but here is an unmistakabie path. and
there's no use turning back before you have
to. Tie thicket is wild raspberry You
make a note of the place and promise your
self another trip to it in the fruit season.
Here is another little rivulet. across which
the mare steps, follows a sharp turn in The
pathway. climbs a steep bank and stops
suddenly at-a fence. Here's nice state
of affairs!
On the other side of the fence a broad,
smooth, tempting road crosses bridge ever
the little stream you jumped while back,
now grown TO a creek of very imposing
dimensions, and stretches and curves in the
distance like n sivery- ribbon. You know
not whittier that road leads, but you
strongly desire to follow it.
And there is that awful fence. But for
the approach-a stream, a curve and an
almost perpendicular bauk-the mare could
easily jump il, but that is an impussibility,
and fence-cimbing is apparently not one of
her accomplishments.
You hate to turn back. Besides, you
wish TO follow that road. and you are sure
you never could find it again from any other
approach. The mare looks Mt you curl
ously. You always did dislike to have 4
horse detect you in piece of folly, and she
evidently thinks you have come on fools
errand. You have often wondered what
