one day, with a fearsome glance
toward the rear room. Him l at
once Intercepted regarding this
vision of loneliness.
You'd better keep your eyes to
hum," advised old Stiles in home
ly phrase. ''That's Miss Alicia,
the boss's only child. He thinks
almost as much of her as he does
of himself"
Due reflection over this excess
of paternal affection might have
made me cautious; but before |
had time to be scared, Miss Alicia
passed through again. l sprang
forward and opened the door.
"Thank you, Mr.. Gordon" she
said.

the use of your ARM" | stammered.
GAS you see," and she offered
me her hand.
81 hope the little dog kept
quiet?"
"Oh, Judy is always good when
she can have her own way. I could
that notice, No dogs allowed,
feel her little eyes blinking away at
and then she would creep the
closer to me. I'm so glad you're
in papa's office, Mr., Gordon, that
is, if you can stand it," Another
bewildering flash and enhancing
reflex of a smile, and | was alone
with those twin legal ruins, old
Stiles and the Statute of Uses and
Trusts.
''Stand it," I murmured, 81 can
outstand Simon Stylites, and on
my head, too, in such cause"
There was a Banshee wall as If
the north wind were having con-
vulsion. I looked inquiringly at
old Stiles. "He's calling you," he
said, with indicative thumb, and
a ''why should we mourn depart
ing friends" expression, and | hur-
ried away to my doom.
"My daughter tells me that you
were of some slight assistance to
her puppy" Mr.. Trask began.
"What is that quotation about be-
ing wondrous kind? l beg to say
that any such interference is as un-
necessary as it is Impairment
Had they dared to modest Judy,
favorite of mine and singularly at
tached to me, I would have taken
away their charter in a five minute
argument, That will do; and don't
let it happen again"
A dinners principal course is
called a "piece de resistance" and
surely no more apt title can be
given to that of Loves banquet
Mr.. Trask's cool insolence made
me the warmer. His contempt
was a spur to my INTEREST. A
maiden is never SO sought as when
she is shut up in an inaccessible
tower, especially if from the top
most window she waves her ker-
chief. Thenceforth I had one
purpose: to overcome all obstacles
between Alicia and me. And l

held the umbrella and the parcels.
"Poor, dear, little Judy?' sighed
the maiden. ~ do hope she won't
catch cold. but Judy peeped out at
me, as if saying that it was not she
that was out in the cold.
"You are so very kind" pro-
tested the lady, when she was all
settled acoard and l had cautioned
the conductor to assist her in
alighting, as she had a stiff arm.

Them" And then | hurried away,
wondering at the charming obtuse
ness which could so ingeniously
blame parcels, instead of terrier.
Ebenezer Schenck himself an
swered my ring at his door-a tall
lean man, with dark, kindly face,
close shaver and deep wrinkled,
and with eyes that shone with a
melancholy humor.
$50 you are Nellie Gordon's
son." he began, and l half expect
ed him to say that my mother ought
to be dead. "Well, you resemble
her a little, and that's high praise,
my boy. And you've put your
head into the legal lions den, have
you, and it isn't altogether snap
ped off? Come in and tell me how
you escaped"
I told him.
"Trask is a self-made man." he
explained apologetically. "He
suffered many hardships to reach
his present eminence, and he
deems them essentials. He be-
grudges the silver spoon to aspi-
rants like you, just as an old
stagecoach driver might begrudge
a railway ticket. Never mind; Just
make the best of it-that's the
manly part. The exercise won't
hurt you, and meanwhile you will
get experience. There's no such
lawyer as Albion Trask. The
trouble is that he knows it as
he knows everything else"
II think my appearance initiates
him." l suggested.
"Any appearance 1rritates him
except his own fiery visage, and if
he could really see that,
it would irritate him most
of all. might tea III
him a lesson, if it were
worth while. But there, get back
to your work Edwin. Remember,
you have friend in me. If you
get in trouble with him it will be
worth my while to teach that les
son, | promise you"
This kindly greeting encouraged
me to persist at the office, and that
afternoon an event occurred which
fully determined me. | was sit
ting in the outer room, vainly
striving to comprehend the Statute
of Uses and Trusts-I have
learned since then to take it's uses
on trusts-when the door opened
and 10, the pretty young lady,
prettier than before for the lack of
the quandary, glided through into
the awful sanctum sanCtorum-an-
glice Iair-beyond. Was I mis-
taken, or had there been a flash of

monotone integument appertaln-
ing thereto, for that matter. Then
he was a terror that walked at all
hours; now he is as gentle as any
sucking dove. Then he was feared;
now he is loved-and it speaks vol
umes for his legal skill that his
practice has not suffered from the
mutation. For a lawyer is like
vinegar, the sharper, the more cut
ting he is, the more thoroughly is
he supposed to have worked. Was
his becoming my father-in-law the
cause of his conversion? No, in
deed; this conversion was the cause
of his becoming my fatherinlaw.

his private office, where he sat sur
rounded by books like a bear with

"Humphr he growled, and eyed |
me from head to foot. How guilty |

parted in the middle, and that |

gretful that wasn't bald and shod |

"Humph!" he repeated. $50

old friend James Gordon, hey? No

are you anyway" And | sincerely |
wished that I was on one of those
hills to which his voice was so evil

EDO you imagine you can ever
become man like me?" he con-
tinued. GA pretty figure you'd
make addressing jury in banc!"
I faltered that hoped to qualify
myself for an Office lawyer.
ooh! an office lawyer" he
sneered, with an unpleasant laugh.
"Well, suppose the proper pre-
paration for an office lawyer is to
be an office boy. Here, take this
bundle to Ebenezer Schenck and
leave these briefs at the bindery.
And, mind, sweep out and dust
every morning. That may sweat
some of the blankety-blank law
school nonsense out of you.'
AS I passed through the outer
room old Stiles, the clerk, looked
up longingly. 81 wish he'd send
me on errands," he said! "pd

knickerbockers, that l would"
AS I reached the corner of a side
street, traversed by horse cars, I

the epitaph, We'll done, good and

And he showed me a small glass
tube containing a blue fluid which
was delicately graduated and
marked along its side with such
stages as Glove" "Regard," elm

"Hate." reading from the bottom
to the top.
"Why," l replied, "this looks

Ebenezer Schenck laughed
aloud, as if taken with the name.
"Good? he exclaimed. "That's
exactly what it is. Now, if man
will wear this little instrument
concealed on his person, it will in
dictate the exact feelings toward
him entertained by whomever he
