''Is this man your husbandT'
 ''I object" said Frances counsel "i desire time to confer with my client"
 The objection was sustained. and the l lawyer. going over to Frances. con versed with her earnestly. but in whis- pers.
 -'Is the man your husbandT"
 Not to my knowledge" Do you remember any marriage ceremony. even in play. that has ever been performed between you and any one?- No"
 Have you any idea as to what is his object in claiming you as hls wife?' l "No."
 The lawyer thought a few moments. then said:
 ''I think I have an inkling of what i' all means. He is a fine looking young fellow. isn't hep
 Very"
 ''It may be necessary for me to make a bold stroke. or. rather. to follow up what l believe is bold stroke of lis own. If l ask you any question be fore the court answer in the affirma- tive Will you do so?''
 My case is in your hands. will act as you instruct" "Very good. Now I shall interview the young man who claims to be your husband"
 Going to Hale. the lawyer asked him bis object in making a claim he could | not substantiate. Hale gave his req 1 sons.
 Who are you?" asked the attorney.
 "I am Emery Hale. son of Judge Hale of the superior court"
 ''The deuce you are: l know your ! father well. have tried many a case before him
 The lawyer took out his watch.
 Half past IT." he said. Something must be done and done quickly. Leave the rest of the matter 10 me and main tain your claim" Returning 10 the table on which was spread out bis books and papers. the attorney called Emery Hale to the witness stand.
 You say" he said. "that this wo- man Is your wife:
 Il do"
 That will do. Call Frances Hard man.
 Frances took the stand. Most of her color had left her face and her bosom was heaving unanimously.
 Your nameT asked the lawyer.
 Frances Hardman."
 Your ase:"
 "l am twenty years old
 "rlease take notice. your honor. that ny client Is Of legal age" Then. turn ing to Frances again. he said. "Is this man. pointing 10 Haie. your bus band?'
 The blood rushed tumultuously into the girls face. She hesitated. cast a glance al Hale. lowered her eyes tc the floor and said In low voice:
 He is"
 At this moment the object of these questions and answers got into the head of the opposing counsel. Jump ing 10 his feet. he cried:
 'I objectr'
 You may sustain or refuse to sus- tain the objection. your honor. as you like" said his opponent. .'It makes no difference in this case. My client haS complied with the conditions of her fathers will. She has been legally married TO Emery Hale and Is now Frances Hardmau Hale. do not think your honor or any one else will deny that in accordance with the laws of the laDe when a man ln presence of witnesses acknowledges a woman to be his wife and she acknowledges i him to be ner husband they are mar ried''
 The lawyer who objected threw him self back in his chair with an execra- ton. and his client. who by this ,isne | was coming 10 understand what had l been done was mnttering curses.
 When The denoue,ien was understood | by the spectators there was cheer | which the judge found ii difficult Co l repress. and nothing would do but that ! the bride and groom should appear | side by side. when there was a re. newal of the uproar.
 The irnprovised marriage turned out i to be a very happy one. showing that | whether we take years or miuB,es consider so important a step. W q, still in the hands of fate.
