The only lingering blot in the bright

ing with Gillespie on the pier. and the
fact that she had accepted money
from him for her ~rascally father. But

Remarkable Coincidence In Sum OF
Mopay That Rastus Had In
HE Pocket.

Rastus was on trial. charged with
stealing seven dollars and eighty-fve
cents. He pleaded not guilty, and, al
he was unable to hire an attorney, the
Judge appointed Lawyer Clearem as
counsel. Clearem put up a strong
plea in defense. and Rastus was ac-
quilted.
Counsel and client met a few min
utes later outside the court room
Nov, Rastus," said Clearem,
you know the court allows the
counsel very little for defending this
kind Of case. I worked hard for you
and got you clear. I'm entitled TO
much more pay than I'm getting Tor
my valuable services. and you should
dig up a good-sized fee. Have you got
any money!"
Eyes, boss" replied Rastus, I done
got seben dollahs and eighty-nve
