ago the counsel for the defense was
examining venireman regarding his
qualifications to serve. The candidate
admitted that be bad once been a
member of a jury which tried a negro

such cases to ask the result of the trial.

His voice was sharp, crisp and louder

life in an engine cab do not serve to
mellow the tone of the human voice,
and the habit is too strong to be over

tones as they issued from David Ca
ble's lips. He spoke with more than
ordinary regard for the queens Eng
lish, but it was because he never had
neglected it. 1t was characteristic of
the man to do thing as nearly right
as he knew how in the beginning and
to do it the same way until a better
method presented itself.

ceased to regret the impulse that had
defeated him. Nevertheless he could
not make up his mind to go back and
resume the life of torture her jealousy

Then the unexpected happened. A
letter was received containing the COM
mand to come home and care for his
wife and baby At once David Cable
called a halt in his demoralizing ca

forgot that she had "nagged'' him to
the point where endurance rebelled; he
forgot everything but the fact that he
cared for her in spite of ALL Sobered

that she was alone and toiling; that she

again he resumed the rubbing of his

side office. Bansemer was alone and
where Droom's eyes could not see him,
but something told him that the grin
hung outside the door for many min
utes. as if waiting for a chance to pop
in and tantalize him.
Bansemer was good looking man of
the coarser mold-the kind of man that
merits a second look in passing, and
the second look is not always in his
favor He was thirty-five years of age,
but looked older. His face was hard
and deeply marked with the lines of in

coat to leave the Office for the day
broom tapped on the glass panel Of
the door to his private office. Usually

signal a floor button by which he
could acquaint his master with much
that he ought to know, and the visitor
in the outer Office would be none the

he went so far as to tap on the door.
Bansemer was puzzled and stealthily
listened for sounds from the other
side. Suddenly there came to his ears
the voices of women, mingled with
Droom's suppressed but always rau-
cous tones.
Bansemer opened the door. Looking
into the outer office. he saw broom
swaying before two women. rubbing
his hands and smiling. One of the
women carried a small babe in her
arms. Neither she nor her companion
seemed quite at ease in the presence
of the lank guardian of the outer Office.

city, was not inviting On leaving the
elevator one wound about through mar
row halls and finally peered with more
or less uncertainty and misgiving at
the half obliterated sign which said
that james Bansemer held forth on the
other side of the glass panel.
1t was whispered in certain circles
and openly avowed in others that Ban
semer's business was not the kind
which elevates the law. In plain
words, his methods were construed to
debase the good and honest statutes
of the land. Once inside the door of
his office-and heavy spring always
closed it behind one-there was quick
evidence that the lawyer lamentably
disregarded the virtues of prosperity,
no matter how they had been courted
and won. Although his transactions
in and out of the courts of that great
city bore the mark of dishonor, he
was known to have made money dur
| ing the ten years of his career as a
member of the bar.
| Possibly he kept his office shabby
with the transactions which had their
| morbid birth inside the grimy walls.
| There was no spot or corner in the
| two small rooms that comprised his
chambers" to which he could point
with pride. The floors were Uttered
with papers; the walls were greasy
and bedecked with malodorous nota-
tons, documents and pictures; the win
dows were smoky and useless; the
clerks desk bore every suggestion Of
dissoluteness.
| But little less appalling to ones aes-
thetic sense was the clerk himself.
Squatting behind his wretched desk,
Elias broom peered across the litter
of papers and books with shaky but
polite eyes. almost as inviting as the
spider who with willy but insidious
decorum draws the guileless into his
web.

the most repellent personality imagi-
nable. When he smiled one was con-
scious of shock to the nervous sys-
tenn; when he so far forgot himself as
to laugh aloud there was a distinct
illustration of the word "crunching;;"
when he spoke one was almost sorry
that he had ears.
Bansemer knew but little of this
freakish individuals history; no one
else had the temerity to inquire into
his past or to separate it from his fu-
ture, for that matter. Once Bansemer
ironically asked him why he had never
married. 1t was fun minute before
the other lifted his eyes from the sheet
of legal cap. and by that time he was
in full control of his passion.
