When Webster Smith placed his
sign outside the door Of the cottage
he had chosen for an ONCE and NV
ing room. he gave a sigh of relief.
The FIRST step In his career had been
taken.
Smith was a lawyer. An indulgen.

Of nearby city. was responsible Tor
Smiths residence in the suburban VII
lage.
What the deuce will they want OF
a lawyer out there. dad?" he had
asked his father.
Never mind, Webb" had been his
reply. I'VE are overrun with budding
lights and diploma bred attorneys
here. You get out where no one
ever heard of lawyer named Smith
and let's see what's In you"
So the newly admitted member OF
the bar had come to the little place,
more to satisfy his father than to
practise the arts of one Blackstone.
Blairville had never had a full
blooded attorney-at.law before. There
was Squire Brown, kindly old mag
istrate, who dispensed justice and
warrants at so much per head. No
thought of ever questioning deci-
sion of the squire ever entered the
heads Of the simple country folk.
The advent of Webster Smith, At.
torney-at-Law, as the sign read, was
duly noted In the weekly Telegraph,
commented on around the cracker
barrel at Deacon Jones grocery and
then forgotten.
Time went on as It has a habit OF
doing and the attorney still waited his
first client.
Repeatedly, he had travelled to town
to inform his father that the simple
life was too wearisome for him to
bear longer.
Webster had become acquainted

Her pity was also for purpose. Mat
rimony was the goal she would reach.
The attorney with the ordinary
name treated all the damsels with
politeness, steadily declined any in
vitations and spent most of his time
reading decisions of the higher
courts.
Then Betty Sloan came to town.
She was visiting the Turner's, up on
the pike road. Blairville at once be-

he pondered on way to get &C

Betty was typical summer girl,
When Smith first saw her she was

said:

soul, Brown replied:

the witnesses have not had, and the

When Judge Huston pronounced the
words, "You shall be hanged by your

Kaurt called after her when she left.
She went the next day and then

to deliver but intended to visit the
boy in the afternoon. Then she was
told he was dead and she did not go
