This accomplished, the two girls went down

happier. 1t was so very pleasant to know she
had done her duty at least
1t was one O'Clock when they reached home,

and jacket, but Fannie went straight down
the hall to the dining room. As she reached
the door, she heard her brothers voice.

Fannie's cheeks flushed scarlet and an angry
light came into her brown eyes Her first
impulse was to rush into the room and make

Of surprise. ,".Welll, that's something new.
I'm much obliged"
And he went out.
He came back in a few minutes wearing the
coat.

He looked at her curously when she came
back with the handkerchief, but said nothing
except "Thank you."

THE JUDGEsHIP.

The Richmond Times Dispatch pup
lishes a picture of Mr.. J. B. L. Thorn

men who came TO talk over the Judge

Alexandria city, who was designated Dy
the Governor TO serve instead OF Judge
Charles E. Nicol (resigned), until the
converting of the Legislature, has asked
to be relieved, and an appointment VIII
have TO be made. Though the Governor
is not saying positively who ne Will
name. there is strong impression In
circles close to him that the honor will
fall to hon. ]. B. L. Thornton, OF
Prince William. The other aspirant Is
Mr.. John NJ. johnson, of Alexandria
city. Both candidates fled their in
dorsemenls Monday, and the Governor
heard a number of gentlemen In the
respective interests. He announced Just
before leaving the city that he would
take the matter up and dispose OF IL
upon his return.
The Governor said he had written the
friends of both candidates that all other
things being equal, if majority OF the
bar ia the rural sections OF the circuit
Endorsed a county lawyer, he would be
inclined 10 name him over an applicant
from the city. he did this In the case
of Judge Prentis's successor, for the
reason the cities all have judges indie
pendently ofthose on the circuit bench,
and he holds that the country districts
should have Judge as near as is poss-
ible for the transaction OF business 10
vacation. 1t Is believed that this almost
certainly indicates the appointment oil
the Prince William man. Mr. Thornton
il regarded as n strong lawyer, and
man of peculiar judicial temperament.
He has been Common wealth. Attorney
of Prince William county tor many
wears. and represented that county with
distinction in the recent Constitutional
Convention. Mr.. Thronton In his younger
DAYS practiced his profession In Yazoo

a law partner of Hon. John Sharp vii.

by the democrats of his State for United

of high character and exceptional learn
ing, and his supporters declare he will
make an ideal judicial officer.
