quired his Honor.
"At the conference I was against it."
answered Mr.. Hart, "but MIR. Bishop
favored it, so l deferred 10 his judgment" T."
''It seems to me" observed the Judge
refectively, that certain people are trying
to see how big an opening this is gong to
be, in the hope OF being able to jump
through the breach with claims galore
This claim is plainly against the Roach
estate and not against the Blythe estate.
ii Mr.. McEnerney caa find any authorities
to sustain him in advocating Mr.. Creamy S
claim he may present them tomorrow,
but for the present L cannot take cogni-
zance of the application"
Mrs. Hinckley was then asked for her
pleasure as to Mr.. Sullivan's claim for
$50, 900 in addition to the $4,000 which he
has already received. Thinking his Honor
referred to the Creamy claim, she said,
simply:
81 prefer to leave that to the court
This reply caused barristerial flutter of
the first magnitude, which was not Gained
until the dead millionaire's heiress had
been made to understand what claim the
question leferred to.
'Well, promised Mr.. Sullivan 500, ,0OO,"
began the little lady slowly
"But il l assured you" pursued the
Judge, that $4,000 would be a liberal
not to say munifcent return for his SER
vices, would you not abide by my de-
cision?"

Florence rejoinder.
The rain without was falling in sheets,
and the night was well on its way. Mr..
Sullivan looked out into the darkness with
shiver, and remarked that it was grow
ing late.
Never mind. Mr.. Sullivan" rejoined
his Honor "if l were about to receive as
fat fee as you are getting, could well
afford to wait an extra hour | will award
you $4,000 from the estate, the $4,000
already advanced being reckoned as a part
OF that sum; and if Mrs. Hinckley thinks
you ought to have any more, she can pay
it out of her private purse. Truly the
attorney who works for her may call him
