books to take up rifles. and they came
not back to their places. They were
forgotten, save once a year, upon Dec
oration Day. when Judge Bradley
made eloquent tribute above their
graves.
1t was therefore predetermined that
Edward Franklin should go into the
Office of Judge Bradley to begin his
law studies, after he had decided that
the profession of the law was the one
likely to offer him the best career.
1t was one of the unvarying rules of
Judge Bradley's office, and indeed this
was almost the only rule which he
imposed. that the law student within
his gates, no matter what his age or
earlier servitude, should each MORN
ing sweep out the Office. and should,
when SO requested. copy out any law
papers needing to be executed in
duplicate. So long as student did
these things, he was welcome as long
as he cared to stay.
Edward Franklin accepted his seat
In Judge Bradley's Office without any
reservations. and he paid his daily
fee of tenure as had all the other
students before him, scorning not the
broom. Ardent. ambitious and reso-
lutte, he fell upon Blackstone. Chitty
and Kent as though he were asked to
carry n redoubt. He read six, eight,
ten hours day. until his head buzzed,
and he forgot what he had read. Then
at 1t all over again. with teeth set
Thus through more than . year he
toiled. lashed forward by his own de-
termination. until at length he began
to see some of the beautiful first prin-
year Franklin Jared somewhat beyond
principles merely, and got into notes
and bills. torts, contracts and rene.
dies. He learned with a shiver how q
promise might legally be broken, how
gift should be regarded with suspi.
cion. how sacred legacy might be
set aside. He read these things again
and again. and forced them into his
brain. SO that they might never be for
gotten; yet this part Of the law he
loved not SO much as its grand first
principles Of truth and justice.
One morning. after Franklin had I'm.
ished his task Of sweeping down the
stairs. he sat him down by the window
with Battersleigh's letter In his hand:
for this was now the third day since
he had received this letter. and 1t had
been In his mind more vividly present

tracts with which he was then occu.

The Diet Fad.

Apropos, the diet craze of the last
two or three years may not and does
not perform all that it promises for
those who listen to the voice of the
medical or other faddist, says the Lon
don World. but from its extravagances
may come ultimate good, and another
generation may reap happily where we
have sown. The time may come, a
great continental doctor believes.
when tho science of dieting will be
so perfected that we shall not merely
be able. as we do now, to keep people
alive much longer. but we shall like
wise keep them In a useful condition.
Octogenarians will retain. their fac

CHAPTER vi.
Edward Franklin, Lawyer.

EDWARD Franklin, Lawyer.
Edward Franklin had taken up his
law studies in the Office of Judge
Bradley, the leading lawyer of the lit
tie village of Bloomsbury, where
Franklin was born, and where he had
spent most of his life previous to the
time of his enlistment in the army.
Judge Bradley was successful, as such
matters go IN such communities, and
1t was his open boast that he owed
his success to himself and no one else.
Thirty-five years earlier, raw
youth from old Vermont; Hollis N.
Bradley had walked into the embry-
onic settlement of Bloomsbury with
single law book under his arm and
naught but down upon his chin. He
pleaded his first cause before Judge
who rode circuit over territory now
divided into three congressional dis
tricts. He won his first case, for his
antagonist was even more ignorant
than he. AS civilization advanced he
defended fewer men for stealing hogs
and more for murder and adultery.
His practice grew with the growth of
the population of the country about
him. He was elected county attorney,
local counsel for the railroad, and
judge of the Circuit Court. He was
mentioned for gubernatorial honors,
and would perhaps have received the
party nomination but for the breaking
out of the civil war. Not fancying
the personal risks of the army, he
hired substitute, and this sealed his
political fate. for Illinois at that time
did not put in power men who sent
substitutes to the war.
1t was an immemorial custom in
Bloomsbury for the youth who had
aspirations for a legal career to read
law in Judge Bradley's Office. Two
of his students had dropped their

A Mans Time to Die.

When man appeared the other day
before Justice Blume, in Chicago. and
asked for protection against some
neighbors who had threatened to kill
him. the justice refused to grant the
request. When asked for his reasons
he said that when 1t came a mans
time to die he would die. and not be-
fore. He announced himself as a
fatalIst and said belief came from his
own experiences. He says he has
passed through seven accidents. three
hold-ups, one fire, two drownings. $50
falls. pneumonia, concussion of the
brain. and all the dangers of several
battles of the civil war. III all these
things won't kill man." said the

Franklin looked about him at the
squat buildings of the little town, at
the black loan of the monotonOus and
uninviting fields, at the sordid, set

him that somewhere out in the vast
land beyond the Missouri there beck

"UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES"
TOBs Given in the Opera House Saturday Eve
ming, April 80.

Our theatregoers will have an op-
portunity on Saturday evening, April
30, of witnessing for the first time one
of the most successful plays of recent
years. "Under Southern Skies,
Lottie Blair Parkers delightful drama
of southern life will be presented at
the Opera house with a cast of twenty
three acting people and complete
scenic production of beautiful southern
scenes. While "Undep Southern
Skies" is new to our city, its reputa-
tion has preceded it from the east
where for two seasons it has been play
ed to crowded houses.
"Under Southern Skies" has prov
ed to be by far the most popular play
of southern life that. has been written
since the great war plays, "Shenan-
doah, " HELD by the Enemy" and "Se-
cret Service" Unlike these plays,
however, "Under Southern Skies"
does not deal with the war. The peri
cd Is about 1919, and the people have
recovered in a measure from the shock
and disaster of the great rebellion.
To the young people in the play it is
only dim memory. The author has
portrayed a story that could happen
nowhere but in the south and has
drawn life-like pictures of southern So
cial life and hospitality. The play
has delightful air of youthful ro-
nance and gayety that is its strongest
fascination. A Hollowe'en party is
introduced which is quite different
from anything ever attempted upon the
stage and it has been received every
where with the greatest laughter and
enthusiasm.
