to the New York bar this week, the
city has now passed the half hundred
mark of Portals following the profess
sion of law here, thus putting it con
siderably ahead of any other city in
the country in this respect. Small as
the number of female lawyers, or
lawyeresses, may Seem, q Is really
surprising that it is as large as it is.
Investigation shows that they find it
extremely difficult to get started, and
all the way through their careers have
a somewhat more difficult time of it
than the male lawyers, who in this
case at least seem to, be the more
deadly of the species, Notwithstanding
Rudyard Kipling's assertion. Just
why this is the cas- has not been very
definitely determined, although a num-
Der of reasons are suggested. The fe-
male lawyer is still looked upon as a
novelty and as a result perhaps not
as reliable as her more firmly en-
trench professional brother. Then. too.
1T is pointed out that possible male
clients strangely enough simply will
not place confidence in a roman law
yer, being much stronger in this atti-
tude than possible male clients. How
ever, a number of women are making
a good living at this profession, one
of the most notable cases being hat
of a wife who is associated with her
husband as equal partner.

for oil invariably rinse 1t out with
gasoline until the surfaces are thor

the lubricant from adhering to the
walls, and, besides saving waste, leaves
them absolutely clean.

The Football Hero.

uc FoOhOdh FlSfOs
There are two kinds of football he
roes.
One appears in the magazine stories
in November, the other appears on the
field during practice games.
The hero in the magazine story is
sent to the bench, or wherever they
send hopeless prospects, during the
early trials of raw material. But he Is
in love with beautiful young thing
who has absolute faith in him. In the
story We are deity shown how an alb
sorbing love for O. beauteous creature
can put muscle on the arms and life in
the nerves and enable the hero to be
called from the grand stand when the
best player is crippled, so that the he
no may, though utterly out of training,
seize the ball, carry it around the end,
burst through all opposition, trample
upon all the other eleven, and finally
win the game. Immediately he gets
up, dusts himself off, and basks in
the ardent gaze Of the heroine who has
inspired him.
The other hero Is the husky, willing
youth who allows himself to be kicked
and mauled and beaten to a pulp so
that the members Of the regular eleven
may be fit to meet the big opponents.
He gets the bulletins of the game
from his cot in hospital and is never
heard of afterward

doctors sometimes overlook this fact.

Captain Keith. Why did this man
Hawley send me to the Salt Fork?"
He thought he was dealing with
Christie Maclaire. He had some rea-
son for getting her away; getting her
where he could exercise influence over
her."
"Yes-yes: but who is she?"
That is what makes the matter so
hard to unravel. She doesn't even
know herself. Hawley is going to
take advantage of her ignorance in
this respect. and convince her that
she is the person he wishes her to
represent-but who is the person? II
We knew that we might block the

out some reasonable explanation.

told Hawley something-some family
secret-which he felt could be utilized
to his own advantage. Then he saw
your picture. and was Immediately re-
minded of the remarkable resem-
blance between you and Christie
Maclaire. Evidently this discovery
fitted into his plan. and made 1t pos
sible for him to proceed. He has been
trying ever since to get an interview
with the woman, to sound her, and
find out what he can do with her. He
has written letters. sufficiently ex-
