HIS FIRST LAW PARTNER.

Major Stuart, with whom Lincoln
had joined forces, was not, in his
early years, well-read or even an
industrious lawyer. but he was sopu-
lar and had an extensive ii not very
lucrative practice, which he was en-
tirely willing to intTuSt to his Eew
associate. Indeed, when the hrm
was formed he was so deeply en-
crossed in pontics that he gave little
Or no attention to the law and Lin
coin had to assume virtually al2 re-
sponsibility for the business.
Of course, if the procedure mao
been complicated or technical, nov
ice would have speedily come to
grief: but the character of litigation
was very simple in those days the
precedents were few and far between.
and the legal forms exceedingly elias
tic. Lincoln met such difficulties
as there were in his own way, asking
as little advice as possible and exer-
cising his ingenuity to bridge the
gaps in his information when mis-
partner was not available for consul
tation. The habit of standing or
his own feet and doing his own think
ing, which was thus forced upon him,
at the very outset of his practice. be-
came his most notable trait. One OF
his contemporaries closely in touch
with his professional life testifies
that he never asked another lawyers
advice on any subject whatsoever.
He listened to his associates and con-
suited with them, and there was
never anything of the brain Taper
about his relations with the bar.
The influence of this early training
is plainly discernible in the remark
able self-reliance and resourcefulIness
which he exhibited in his later years.
New questions did not confuse aim,
he face emergencies with perfect
serenity, and he had long been ac-
customed to responsibility when he
was called upon to decide questions
of national import.

CHAPTER XxxIII.

We must leave the court-now ad-
journed for luncheon-and follow
BARLEY Bradstone.
He reached home more dead than
alive after his fright in the woods,
and as he recovered his scattered
senses, there flashed upon his re
membrance the note enclosing the
confession. He would destroy that
the first thing, then he would pack
his portmanteau, and, obeying Fsra-
deane's instructions, run over to the
Continent.
He thrust one hand into his coat
pocket, and drew a candle towards
him with the other. Then he fell
back, white to the lips, and with ali
inarticulate cry. The packet had
gone!
He felt in every pocket, though he
knew well that he had put it in mis-
ovencoat breast-pocket as he stood Oh
the steps of the Grange-shOok his
coat, unfolded and shook his handker
chief, and examined the room With
quaking limbs he put on his hat, and,
scrutInizing every inch of the way,
retraced his steps through the house
and down the drive, along the road
and UP the Grange avenue, almost as
far as the ratings where he had seen
the apparition, but not quite so far.
Even to recover the fatal letter he
could not bring himself to face that
awful spot again.
But the letter was nowhere to be
seen. Worn out with anxiety, he
went back to The Naples and flung
himself into a chair To leave the
place with that damning confession
of his guilt he knew not where, he
felt was an impossibility. A dull
held him in complete thrall. He
crawled up to bed at last but not to
sleep All night he tortured himself
by imagining the discovery of the con
fession by someone who would either
carry it to the police-station or to
Olivia If the person who found it
followed the former course, then all
was over with him, and flight would
be useless Before he could reach
London-now-the telegraph would
be in operation, and detectives would
be waiting for him at every station.
If, on the other hand, it should be
carried to Oliva-well she would, Size
must send for him and he would have
to face a new phase of the danger
He went downstairs the next mora
ing casting restless, suspicious
chances over the balustrade expecting
to see a policeman in the hall; but
as the day passed and no one came
no detective, and no message from
Olivia-his spirits rose somewhat.
L may have dropped it as | stood
against the railing; it must have
come out with my handkerchief when

When the train pulled up at the
station he called porter to take his
portmanteau, and stepped quickly
but not hurriedly, from the train and
passed into the refreshment-room.
AS he did so, window in a third
class compartment was gently let
down, and Seth looked out in time to
see BARLEY Bradstone's back, as it
disappeared. Seth turned to Liz,
who was crouched in the corner.
I'm goin' to get out here he said.
You go on to London to the old
shop, and don't stir hand or foot till
l come to you-if it's days or weeks,
dye hear?-or l'll-"
She looked at him; then, with a
sigh, flung her shawl over her face.
He got out, and with an affectation
of indifference sauntered along the
platform, and hiding himself behind
the projecting side of the book-stall
took out paper and held it up be-
fore his face as if he were reading,
but every now and then glanced
dFOuHu IL LOW dIQS IuO uOO1 VI Inv ~
freshment-roOm.
Presently the man he waited for
came out and walked up the plat
form. He stopped at the book-stall
and bought London paper and some
magazines. A porter came up, and
BARLEY Bradstone beckoned to him
There is a branch line from here
to Paddington, the Great Western
tation, isn't there?"
Eyes; but it's rather round
about way, SIR answered the porter.
81 konw,' said BARLEY Bradstone,
as if he had expected to meet the re-
mark. "But I'm in no particular
hurry to reach London. want a
Sleep
CAN right, sir" said the porter
Train is due in ten minutes"
BARLEY Bradstone gave him some
coppers, then went and took ticket
The station was comparatively empty
by this time, and Seth was too cum
ming to emerge from his hiding-place,
in which he waited, still studying
his newspaper, until the train came
up.
Then he watched BARLEY Bradstone
enter a carriage, and, carefully
screening himself behind the passers
by, Seth stole gently into third
class compartment, and covering his
face with his handkerchief, began to
snore. The ticket collector came
and shook him; but Seth seemed only
capable of muttering London" and
eventually the collector gave it up, re
marking:
We'll, you'll have to pay at the
other end, my friend"
The murky haze of an early autumn
morning hung over London as the
train steamed into the terminus.
BARLEY Bradstone woke-he had
fallen into the deep sleep of exhaus-
tion-and got out.
During the journey he had come to
a decision as to his movements. lie
had remembered reading somewhere,
in connection with the case of crimf-
nal who had succeeded in evading the
most rigorous police search, that
there was no place in which man
could conceal himself as in great
city.

THE WEEK AFTER.

'Tis the week after Christmas,
And up 10 your neck
With feelings impatient
You wade through the wreck.
The CHASTITY remains are
AS though they had had
A railway collision
Or something as bad
The toys that were gaudy
And painted and gay
When Santa Claus dropped them
And FASTENED away
Now lie in disorder
All scattered about,
The brave soldiers wounded,
The armies in rout.
The hobbyhorse, once
A high spirited nag,
Would now at the races
Be left at the flag;
A runner most useful
Has gone from the sled;
The drums in commission
Though minus a head.
The dolls and the dishes
Are battered and bent
And not like the ones that
Dear Santa Claus sent.
Already the children
Have given them the shake
And stand around longing
For new ones to break.

Beside some stout mahogany
The Labor" leader sits;
A very chatty man is he,
Who whirling words emits,
And his theory of life consists
In living by his wits.
Spouting-intrig uing-bullying.
Onward like mad he goes,
And people sit and wonder. what
New scheme he'll next disclose;
For what the end of his desires
Is, goodness only knows.
