I'd like to try them By the bye. Thompson has my case againsf your company. Suppose you put your case in the hands of Miss watriss." .I'n do it'
 When Mir. Thompson came into court and saw his fiancee lined against him he knit his brows. But she gave him a sweet smile. as much as to say. Isn't it nice for you and me to try a case on opposite sidesy'
 Thompson recovered himself. return ed the smile and declared that 1t would be delightful. As the attorney for the plaintiff he opened the case.
 Now. Mir. Thompson was an able at torney. In the first place. he entered heart and soul into every case he con ducted and had the reputation among his professional associates of getting more out of his witnesses to injure the opposite side and more out of their witnesses to help his own side than any man at the bar. In the present case he coaxed his witnesses. helping them by leading questions so that they were a tower of strength for his case. Miss watriss. seeing the advantage he was gaining. became restive. She be- gan to object to nearly every question. But the judge did not sustain her ob- jections, and this irritated her. The consequence was that when her own witnesses took the stand she was in very bad humor.
 By this time the attorney for the plaintiff had become absorbed in bis case to the exclusion of every other consideration. The first witness called for the defense was a mild gentleman, who was never sure about anything. DO you remember" sneered the at- torney. what you ate for breakfast this mornipgT
 .T objectp' shouted Miss Watriss. springing to her feet.
 The objection was sustained
 MT. Thompson then showed the wit ness a paper and asked him if he wrote it
 sTt looks like my handwriting" was the reply. land that seems to be my signature. but couldn't swear to it. .sHow old are you?"
 Sixty"

 .T objectr again shouted Miss Wa triss, this time with redhot cheeks. Your honor." said Mir. Thompson. with exasperating coolness. perhaps the attorney for the defendant would Ike to conduct my case for me. would prefer to have her do so rather than prevent my proving that her wit ness is either incompetent from loss of memory or is withholding evidence" MT. Thompson by this time had for gotten that he had a flancee and that fancee was his opposing counsel. Per haps force of habit got the better of him. Miss watriss gave him an angry glance, but made no reply. MT. Thompson either did not notice her choler or was used to exciting the wrath of his opponents. Indeed. this was 6 favorite method with him
 Having browbeaten a dozen wit nesses for the defense until they were not sure of anything except what fe wished them to be sure of, MT. Thomp' son summed up the case as one Of the most arrant swindles against his clien' that had ever been perpetrated upon long suffering person. Miss Wauiss who knew that his client was rasca who was trying to ruin her own client could scarcely contain herself throug' anger. MT. Thompson's artfui metho' of distorting facts, his smooth bu cutting irony. were like rubbing hl on A rheumatic member. Miss Watris: condition was not improved, either, the loss of her case and costs for he much injured defendant When the left the courtroom MT. Thompson who had suddenly dropped the alto ney and returned to the condition lover, joined his fancee and said:
