from a large city. Sheldon figured 1t
out that he could live better on GER
tain income In Fairfield than on
doubtful prosperity in a large city.
There was something else. Edith
Sawyer lived In Fairfield.
But the Hon. John Sawyer, railroad
magnate, could not appreciate an at
tachment between his daughter and a
poor, young lawyer So the poor,
young lawyer studied and struggled
along.
He had been struck by peculiar
phase of great case that was being
tried at nearby city. The law jour
nal which printed his article on the
subject commented on his views rath-
er enthusiastically.
Urged by his confidence that he had
done a worthy thing. he set of for the
Sawyer home, determined to interview
Mr. Sawyer. He was very civilly re-
ceived.
Quite an interesting article OF
yours" said the millionaire. II thank
you for the copy"
Frank bowed, then plunged. MIR.
Sawyer you must have seen that
love your daughter, but I've said moth
ing until | felt assured OF your con-
sent"
"Oh, OF course" interrupted Mr..
Sawyer. How much did you get for
that article?"
"a few extra copies" said Frank,
blushing.
About what | thought" said Mr..
Sawyer. Now, Sheldon, like you
but liking doesn't count when a life
contract is involved. You've given all
your time and trouble for nothing. The
only things that count are results.
He paused, then added, II don't think
need say any more"
81 thank you for your candor," said
Frank, rising. Goodnight" He
rushed out of the house, and down
the street almost ran into stout
elderly gentleman who was toiling ur
the hill
"Phew!" said the man. why don,
you keep carriages at the station!

Sawyer's house?'

house is the large one on the hill"
The stout man pulled the Sawyer
doorbell and said, Tell Mr.. Sawyer

Mr.. Sawyer almost ran downstairs
why, this Is an honor. What brought
YOU here?"
You've got a young lawyer in thi:
village named Frank Sheldon. Know
him?"
"Yes, he was here a few minutes
ago. You probably met him." Mr.
Hunter chuckled. well, well! That
one on me. Asked him why he didn'
keep a carriage at the station, and h
snapped back that he didn't keep
livery stable. He's the man I want
whats 1t all about?" asked Mr.
Sawyer.
Its about that article the younl
man wrote. He has struck the RICH
lead on that case OF ours. Is he al
right. honest, reliable?"
slowly.
Then send note to him at once
asking him to come"
After the note was sent, Mr.. Hunte
explained that the discovery OF tn
young man, II known at the beginning
might have saved hundred thousan,
dollars in litigation; that now he ha,

Edith Sawyer had heard the cor
