Adams and Miss Lester. At least two
members Of the committee must keel

Upon arriving at the bureau, the
trunks full Of money are taken to the
mascerating machines. The mutilated
money is dumped by Miss Lester and
other members of the committee into
four large iron tunnels, which convey
It into the mascerating machines be-

PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
Some Mistakes are Corrected; But
Others are Not.

In a communication a reader OF the
Roanoke Times inquiries whether 9
client who has bought real estate on
the. favorable report Of his lawyer on
the title and subsequently learns that
his title is hopelessly bad has reme-
dy. 1t seems that by justice he should
have; but probably in practical test
he would have none. No professional
man Is supposed to be. and few pre-
tend to be infalible. When It is ques-
tion of brains and knowledge, law, Gus
tom and necessity allow wide latitude
for mistakes. Reasonable diligence Is
all that Is required. In every lawsuit
one side or the other is badly advised
or suffers from the mistakes Of some
lawyer, on or Off the bench. Lawyers
doctors, clergymen, civil engineers
fall into errors and clients, patients
people and patrons suffer, but recovery
of damages for such losses is rare.
A blunt old contractor and builder
once put the case clearly. A house he
had put up for an eminent physician
was a botch in some respects and the
old man was derided and rebuked with
asperity.
"Yes, DOCTOR" he said quietly, that's
the way of the world. When / do
bad job everybody sees 1t and says
that old fool ought to be run out OF
town. When you do a bad job they
take it up with flowers and the news
papers say you exhausted In vain all
the resources of medical science"
In a famous sensational murder trial
in Maryland lawyer snapped at a
doctor on the stand, your mistakes go
six feet under ground"
"And yours swing six feet up IN
the air." retorted the doctor, who re-
tired with the honors of war.
Mistakes we make with our hands
are visible and subject us to action Tor
damages. A newspapers mistakes are
obvious and detected instantly. Some
times a lawyer Is made to pay dam
age for a defective report on q title OF
for negligence and a physician is held
in damages for malpractice. OF what
becomes of preachers mistakes we are
not advised and no suit for the pro-
mitigation of misleading doctrine OF
for putting false sign boards on the
straight and narrow path ever has been
brought. It Is mighty hard to prove
negligence or incompetence against
any of those many who are supposed to
earn their livings with their thought
and study.-Roanoke Times.

What about the $4,000 you got on
that partnership swindle? / s'pose you
didn't steal that"
Certainly not" was the ready re-
ply. 1.-The man advertised for a part
ner in business sure to bring big and
safe returns. We formed a partner
ship with capital of $6O,OOO. We paid
the money into the bank, and then at
once drew 1t out. 1t was legal for
me to draw that money-wasn't 1t,
Mr. Demarest?"
The district attorney admitted the
truth Of her contention.
"Well, anyhow" Burke shouted,
you may stay inside the law. but
you've got to get outside the city. On
the level, now, do you think you could
get away with that young Glider
scheme you've been planning?
What young Glider scheme?" 5a
"Oh, I'm wise-Pm wise!" the in
spector cried roughly. "The answer
is, once for all, leave town this after
noon or you'll be in the Tombs in the
morning."
1T can't be done, Inspector"
Mary opened a drawer Of the desk
and took out the document obtained
that morning from Harris and held it
forth"
whats this?" Burke stormed, but
he took the paper.
Demarest looked over the inspectors
shoulder, and his eyes grew larger as
he read. When he was at an end OF
the reading he regarded the passive
woman at the desk with a new respect
whats this?" Burke repeated help
lessly. Mary was kind enough to
make the document clear to him.
Its a temporary restraining order
from the supreme court instructing
you to let me alone until you have le-
gal proof that have broken the law"
But 1t can't be DONE" shouted
Burke.
You might ask Mr.. Demarest,"
Mary suggested pleasantly. "as to
whether or not 1t can be done. The
gambling houses can do 1t and so keep
on breaking the law. The race track
men can do it and laugh at the law.
The railroad can do 1t to restrain its
employees from striking. So why
shouldn't 1 get one, too? You see
have money I can buy all the law
do with the law II you have money
enough. Ask Mr.. Demarest. He
knows"
Can you beat that?" Burke rum
bled. He regarded Mary with stare
of almost reverential wonder. "A
crook appealing to the law!"
"Well, gentlemen, what are you go
ing to do about it?"
Miss Turner" the district attorney
said, with an appearance Of sincerity,
I'm going to appeal to your sense of
fair play"
THAT was killed four years ago."
But Demarest persisted. Influence
had been brought to bear on him. i
was for her own sake now that ne
urged her.
Let young Glider alone"
Mary laughed again. ..
His father sent me away for three
years-three years for something
didn't do. Well, he's got to pay for 1t"
BY this time. Burke, a man Of su-
perior intelligence, as one must be to
reach such a position of authority. had
come to realize that here was case
not to be carried through by buster
ing, by intimidation, by the rough
ruses familiar to the force.

In the same instant, while still her
eyes were on the vase, it fell in cas-

no smoke. Perhaps, there had been

with their heads close together over a

saying, "a chance that will make a

How would we split it?"

answered. "One to me, one to you and

Carson brought his fist down on the
