 The smoothness which which cer- tain criminal lawyer of his acquaint- ance transferred all the money from his clients pocket to his own--con- vinces MT Quibble that this must be the easiest way to get in touch with the Almighty Dollar
 Ouibble longs to adopt a profession that brings in money by enchantmeh. as it were, and talks to the lawyer about the advisability of becoming member of the bar and establishes hlll- self accordingly.
 The crafty lawyer says to Qulppie in connection with the venture:
 '"There are two qualities that make the highest success in law-honesty and dls- honesty. To get ahead you must haNs cne or the other. You must either ne So irreproachable in your conduct ana elevated in your ideals that your aepu-
 totion for virtue becomes your chief asset, or on the other hand so crooked nat your dishonesty makes you invaluable to your clients Both kinds of lawyers are equally in demand. Some cases require responsibility and some dirty work. But
 the crooked lawyer has got to be sd crooked that everybody is afraid of him. even the judge"
