HARD LUCK WAS PREVALENT
Benevolent Old Gentleman Discovers
131 Persons in London Who Had
Lost e. Note on Same Day.

The dear old gent was evidently a
gatherer of statistics, and with a
beaming smile he stepped up to gen.

and tapping him lightly on the shout
der said: Excuse me, but did you

holding out in his hand the article
mentioned.
The gentleman questioned gazed a
moment at the note, assumed an anx-
ious look, made a hasty search of his
pockets, and said:. why, so did,

an eager hand The elderly hunter
of statistics slowly drew forth his
notebook and said: 81 thought So" He
then took the name and address OF
the loser, and putting the note in his
pocket turned away.
''Well," said the other, edo you
want it all as reward?"
ooh, I did not find one," returned
the benevolent one, with another
beam, "but it struck me that in big

This sudden summons to Judge
Brewster's private Office was so unex-
pected that it came like a shock. For
days she had haunted the premises,
sitting in the outer Office for hours at
time exposed to the stare and
covert smiles of thoughtless clerks
and Office boys. Her requests for an
interview had been met with curt re-
fusals. They either said the judge
was out of town or else that he was
too busy to be seen. At last, evil

and she had about abandoned hope
when, all at once, clerk approached
her, and addressing her more politely
than usual, said that the judge would
see her in few minutes.
Her heart gave a great throb. Al
most speechless from surprise, she
stammered a faint thanks and braced
herself for the interview on which so
much depended. For the first time
since the terrible affair had happened,
there was a faint glimmer of hope
ahead. If only she could rush over

than ever that a clever lawyer would
have no difficulty in convincing jury
that Towards alleged confession"
was untrue and improperly obtained.
In the intervals of waiting to see
the lawyer, she had consulted every
one she knew, and among others she
had talked with DR.. Bernstein, the
noted psychologist, whom she had
seen once at Yale. He received her
kindly and listened attentively to her
story. When she had finished he had
evinced the greatest interest He
told her that he happened to be the
physician called in on the night Of the
tragedy, and at that time he had
grave doubts as to it being case of

Judge Brewster looked skeptical,
but made no further comment. The
banker rose and Alicia followed suit.
AS he moved toward the door. he
turned and said:
drop in and see me this evening.

lighted if you will dine with us"
Alicia smiled graciously. do come.
Judge; we shall be all alone"
The lawyer bent low over her hand
as he said good-by. Mr.. Jeffries had
already reached the door, when he
turned again and said:
"Are you sure a very liberal offer
wouldn't induce her to drop the
name?"
The lawyer shook his head doubt
fully.
"Well, see what you can do" cried
the banker To his wife he said:
"Are you coming, Alicia?"
Gust a moment, DEAR" she replied.
II want to say word to the judge"
cali right" replied the banker. "rll
be outside" He-opened the door, and
as he did so he turned to the lawyer:
eff there are any new developments
let me know at once"
He left the office and Alicia breathed
a sigh of relief. She did not love her
husband, but she feared him. He
was not only 20 years her senior but
his cold, aristocratic manner intimi-
dated her. Her first impulse had been
to tell him everything, but she dare
not. His manner discouraged her. He
would begin to ask questions, ques-
lions which she could not answer
| without seriously discriminating her
self. But her conscience would not
| allow her to stand entirely aloof from
| the tragedy in which her husbands
scapegrace son was involved. She
felt a strange, unaccountable desire to
meet this girl Howard had married.

him questioningly, she said: you
don't think it inadvisable, do you?"
The judge smiled grimly.
| "I think I'd better see her first" he
said. Suppose you come back a lit
tie later. It's more than probable that
she'll be here this afternoon. I'll
see her and arrange for an interview"

Alicia started guiltily. thinking her
husband might have overheard their

and whispered something to the judge,

turned to Alicia with smile.

voice to the lawyer, he added: Say

hand.

/ will not be stamped with the same

The lawyer bowed and said calmly:
Then, sir, you must expect ex-
actly what is happening. This girl,
whatever she may be, is devoted to
your son. She is his wife She'll go
to any extreme to help him-even to
selling her name for money to pay
for his defense"
The banker threw up his hands with
impatienee
Its matter of principle with me.
Her devotion is not the question"
With hooking laugh he went on:
'Sentimentality doesn't appeal to me.
The whole thing IS distasteful and
hideous to me- My instructions to you
are to prevent her using the family
name on the stage, to buy her off on
her own terms, to get rid of her at
any price"
Except the price she asks" inter
posed the lawyer, dryly. Shaking his
head, he went on:
You'll find that wife's devotion is
a very strong motive power, Jeffries.
1t will move irresistibly forward in
spite of all the barriers you and can
erect to stay its progress. That may

Alicia, who had been listening with
varied emotions to the conversation,
now interrupted timidly:
Perhaps Judge Brewster is right,
dear. After all, the girl is working
to save your son. Public opinion may
think it unnatural"
The banker turned on his wife
