To be a great lawyer Is Incompatible
with being a great poet. Nevertheless,
Shakespeare was fond of showing his
little legal knowledge, and Bacon has

writers OF eminence, like Walter Scott
and Thackeray. who were lawyers by
profession. but they must have made
law quite subordinate to literature. al

STEPS THAT BETRAY.

Steps that are quick are Indicative Of
energy and agitation.
Tiptoe walking betrays surprise. Gu
riosity. discretion or mystery.
Turned in toes are often found with
preoccupied. absent minded persons.
The miser's walk is represented as
STOPPING. noiseless. with short, nerv-
Gus. anxious steps.
The proud step Is slow and measured.
The toes are consplcuously turned out.
the legs Strengthened.
Slow steps. whether long or short,
suggest a gentle or reflective state Of
mind, as the case may be.
The direction of the steps wavering
and following every changing impulse
of the mind inevitably betrays uncer-
tainty, hesitation and indecision.
Obstinate people who in argument
rely more on muscularity than on in
tellectual power rest the feet fatty and
firmly on the ground, walking heavily
and slowly. and stand with the legs
firmly planted far apart.
