hunched forward eagerly. Long arms
and ridiculously thin legs. with big
hands and feet, tell the story Of his
extremlties. When he was ON his feet
broom was more than six feet tall; as
he sat In the low backed Office chair he
looked to be less than Eve feet over all.
The men had been classmates In an
obscure law school down In Pennsyl-
vania. Bansemer was good looking,
forceful and young, while broom was
distinctly his opposite. Where he came
from no one knew and no one cared.
He was past thirty-fve when he en-
tered the school, at least twelve years
the senior Of Bansemer.
His appearance and attire proclaimed
him to be from the country, but his
sophistry. his knowledge Of the world
and his wonderful insight into human
nature contradicted his looks immeas-
urably. A conflict or two convinced
his fellow students that he was more
than a match for them In stealth and
cunning II not In dress and deport-

Elias broom had not succeeded as a
lawyer. He repealed people, growing
more and more bitter against the world
as his struggles became harder. What
little money lie had accumulated-heav-

tual squalor when later Bansemer
found him in an attic in Baltimore.
Even as he engaged the half starved
wretch to become his confidential clerk
the lawyer shuddered and almost re-
pented Of his action.
But Elias broom was worth his
weight In gold to James Bansemer
from that day forth. His employers
sole aim In life was to get rich and
thereby to achieve power. His ambl-
ton was laudable II one accepts the
creed Of morals. but his methods were
not so praisewortby. After year or
two of starvation struggles to get on

that he was away from her he never
ceased to regret the impulse that had
defeated him. Nevertheless he could
not make up his mind to go back and

Then the unexpected happened. A
letter was received containing the CON-

1t was whispered In certain circles

which elevates the law. In plain
words. his methods were construed to
debase the good and honest statutes

evidence that the lawyer lamentably
disregarded the virtues Of prosperity.

city bore the mark of dishonor. he

Possibly he kept his ONCE shabby

dissoluteness.
