PHOTOGRAPH WINS A CASE.
Brqht Idea That Was Worked by
Clever Lawyer.

Bright Idea That Was Worked by
Clever Lawyer
A Philadelphia lawyer tells the story
that a picture of Fanny Davenport
once won a case for him. His client
was suing the Pennsylvania Railroad
company, of which Wayne MacVeagh
was counsel, for $500 damages for
the death of her husband. Just few
DAYS before the case was to have come
up she happened into my office and an
nounced that she had married again.
Good Lord, madam l gasped, why
couldn't you have waited until your
case came up? It's next to impossible
for me to get damages for you now
She said she didn't care very much,
and went out, seeming very happy
well, it just happened that had a
photograph of Fanny Davenport on my
desk. and when the next day Wayne
Macveagh happened into my office to
discuss quite another matter he picked
up the photo and admired it. Who's
your friend? he asked.
81 had a sudden inspiration and |
said: why, that's the lady who is
suing your company for $780,
1.-The deuce you say said he. Hand
some woman, isn't she?'
"'She is, indeed" | replied.
"'H-ml' he exclaimed, looking at
the picture closely. "A deuced hand
some woman, should say. A deuced
handsome woman There was slight
pause. 'what1l you take to settle this
case?' he asked.
81 thought of my clients second
marriage, and / fixed the figure at
$1,000. The deal was consummated,
and the case never came to eourt."-'

Dear Arenta, we shall have so
much more time, tomorrow. Come TO-
morrow"
But Arenta was not pleased. She
left her friend with an air OF repressed
injury. and afterwards made little re-
marks about Cornelia to her brother,
which exactly fitted his sense Oh
wounded pride. q.
Ever since she was little girl,
eleven years old, l have loved
her." said Rem; "and she knows IL.
"She knows it; that is so. When l
was at Bethlehem, read her all your
letters, and many time you spoke IN
them of her as your little wife, Come,
come, we must go to our rooms, for
that is our father hear moving about.
In a few minutes he will be angry,
and then"
She did not finish the sentence;
there was no necessity; Rem knew
what unpleasantness the threat i'm
piled. and he slipped off his shoes and
stole quietly upstairs. Arenta did not
hurry, though the great Flemish CLOCK
on the stair-landing chimed eleven as
she entered her room.
After ALL" she unused, the even
ing was a possibility. 1t was door
on the latch-I may push 1t open and
go in-who can tell? saw how
amazed he was at my beauty when
first entered the parlor-and he is but
a man-and young man who likes
his own way-so much is evident"
Then she heard her brother moving
about the floor of the room above her
and a shadow darkened her face. She
had strong family affections, and she
was angry that Rem should be trou-
bled by any man or woman, living.

CHAPTER II.-(continued.)

About six o'clock Arenta Van
Ariens made personal response to
her friends message. She was all ex-
citement and expectation. Who do
you think called on me this after
noon. No less a person than Madame
Nippon. Gertrude Nippon is going to
be married. She is going to marry a
French count! And madame is be-
side herself with the great alliance"
"Our drawing-rooms, and even our
streets, are full Of titles" said Cor
nelia; 81 think 1t is distinction to
be plain master and mistress"
"That is the truth; even this hand
some dandy, Joris Hyde, is lieuten-
ant"
'He was in the field two years. He
told me so this afternoon. dare
say, he has earned his title, even if he
is a lieutenant"
Don't be so highty-tighty, Cor
!, nelia. l have no objection to military
titles. In fact, rather lean to Of
fetal titles of every kind"
Then Arenta, having arranged her
ringlets, tied her sash and her sandals,
the girls went down to the parlor.
DR.. Moran, Rem Van Ariens, and
Lieut. Hyde were present. The latter
was handsomely dressed in dark
blue velvet coat, silver-laced, long
white satin vest and black satin
breeches. His hair was thrown back
wards and tied with the customary
black ribbon, and his linen and laces
were of the finest quality. He met
Cornelia as he might hav" met prin-
cess; and he flashed into Arenta's
eyes a glance of admiration which
turned her senses upside down, and
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1903-04-10

made her feel, for a moment or two,
as if she could hardly breathe.
Upon Arenta's brother he had not
produced a pleasant impression. With
out intention, he had treated young
Van Ariens with that negative polite
ness which dashes a sensitive man,
and makes him resentfully conscious
that he has been rendered incapable
or doing himself justice. And Rem
tried in various ways to introduce
some conversation which would anord
him the pleasure of contradiction. he
failed to consider that his barely
yelled antagonism compelled from the
doctor. and even from Cornelia and
Arenta. attentions he might not other
wise have received. So Hyde easily
became the hero of the hour, he was
nermitted to teach the girls the charm
ing old-world step of the Pas de
Ouatre. and afterwards to sing with
them merry airs from Figaro, and SEN
timental airs from Lodoiska.
Fortunately, some of DR.. Moran's
neighbors called early in the evening.
Then whist parties were formed. But
though Cornelia was all sweetness and
graciousness; though Rem played well
and Lieut.. Hyde played badly; though
Rem had the satisfaction of watching
HYDE depart in his chair, while he
STOOD with a confident friendship by
Cornelia's side, he was not SATISFIED.
There was an air of WEAKNESS and
constraint in the room, and the little
stir of departing visitors did not hide
IT. Rem approached his sister and
said, ut is time to go bone" Arenta
looked at her friend; she expected to
he asked to remain. and she was Of
Tended when Cornelia did not give her
the invitation.
81 expected you would ask me to
stay with you, Cornelia."
Il think it is best for you to go
home with Rem. Otherwise he might,
in his present temper. find himself
near Becker's. and If man is quarrel
some he may always get principals and
seconds there. In the morning Mem
will I hope. be reasonable.
Il thought you and l would taik
+b,nxs over tonight. like to talk
nvpr a new pleasure"
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1903-04-10

81 have always thought Cornelia a
very saint" she muttered, "but Love
is the great revealer l wonder if she
is in love-to tell the truth, she was
past finding out. l cannot say that
saw the least sign of it-and between
me and myself, Rem was unreason-
able however, am not pleased that
Rem felt himself TO be badly used"
And she said her prayers, and fell
calmly asleep, to the flattering thought,
81 would not much wonder if, at this
moment, Lieut.. Hyde is thinking about
me-"
In reality, Lieut.. Hyde was at that
moment in the Belvedere club, singing
the "Marseillaise," and listening to a
very infiammatory speech from the
French minister. But couple Of
hours later, Arentas wonder" would
have touched the truth. He was then
alone, and very i'll satisfied; for after
some restless reflections, he. said i'm
patiently:

have now all kinds of unpleasant feel
ings, and when | left that good doc
tors house | was well satisfied. His
daughter is an angel. l praise myself
for finding that out.
Then he rose, threw off his velvet
and lace, and designedly let his
thoughts turn to Arenta. "She is
pretty beyond all prettiness," he said
softly as he moved about "She dances
veil, talks from hand to mouth, and
she gave me one sweet glance. and |
think If she mas gone so far-she
might go further"
