Portable and the little farm might
bring in enough to help him to pay
eventually the debts that harassed his
sensitive nature like milestone about
his neck.
A cheerful reaction took place in
Abner's mind, as he reflected that
after all his was not the worst condi-
ton in the world. He had loyal,
helpful wife and loving, obedient chill
dren. From more comfortable atti
tude of mind his thoughts idly drift
ad and he fell to dreaming over
events in his past life. Then in
whimsical way a story of the long
ago came to his memory.
His father had been well nigh ruin
ed right among these treacherous
sand hills nearly 40 years since. The
event was the sensation of the hour
through the whole district. James
Waldron had removed his little coun-
try bank to Albion from Saugatuck in
the next county. Over $4,000 in gold
had been carried in locked iron boxes
in an old stage coach. Its driver had
lost his way among the sand hills,
great storm had come up and he was
blown from his seat against rock
and rendered insensible.
When he came back to conscious
ness the stage coach, the horses, the
treasure, had disappeared. There was
a search all over the country. 1t
brought no results. With difficulty the
banker met the great loss. 1t was
generally decided that robbers had
driven the treasure away, stage and
all, and no trace of the outfit was
ever found.
The sky had darkened while Abner
sat dreaming. A cyclonic gust nearly
swept him off his feet as he got up
to make a start for home. A binding
rain of sand cut his face. Abner
walked briskly forward, but several
times in his I'D and down hill progress

ing an avalanche The cut was filing
up fast. At one time the sand was
up to his knees.
why! l shall be engulfed! It is
like quicksand!" he reflected in vivid
alarm.
His situation was truly critical. He
knew that unless he got out of what
was natural funnel for the tornado
air currents, he was lost. He strug-
gled on, came to a turn in the gully,
and dimly made out a slanting mass
of gnarled tree roots. Abner ran to
it, slipped, cavity was revealed,
and he dropped into darkness fully
20 feet.
The breath was nearly knocked out
of his body and it was some time be-
fore he could arise to his feet He
stood on a sandy foundation, appar-
emily of some large sheltered void.
1t was so dark he could not make out
it's extent Cropping alond, he land
ed against a post. Then it occurred
to him that he had come upon one of
the many sand submerged houses
swallowed up in some tornado years
before. Once he had stepped into a
chimney, all that was left visible of
one of these engulfed structures.
Abner was smoker. He therefore
carried matches, and feeling in his
pocket for one, drew it forth and
flared it. Then, transfixed, he strain
ed his gaze, wondering if some Alad-
din touch had suddenly created a
fairy scene for deluded senses.
Before him was an open shed sup
ported by posts. Back of it was a
great, numbering, old fashioned We
hicle. Attached were the skeletons of
a team of horses. Thrilled, amazed
in almost shout the electrified OBJ
server gasped out:

In the very nature of the exalted

peaceful halls of justice in the CAPT
tol of Michigan, the dispensing of JUS
tice becomes a duty at once austere
and solemn.
Nevertheless, during his seventeen
years OF service on the supreme court
bench. Justice Moore has retained his
interest in everything that affected
the welfare of the state. and kept in
sympathetic touch with the thoughts
and demands of the people. To the
friendships of an earlier manhood, he
has added those that he formed since
his residence in Lansing. Lawyers
who have had occasion to appear be.
fore him on legal business have gone
away with the feeling OF sincere af-
lection for the grand old man."
Thus, the Hon. Joseph B. Moore
has overcome the awkward handicap
OF his position, endeared himself to
his acquaintance in the capitol, and
made himself we'll liked by lawyers
and attorneys all over the state. He
Is OF rugged health, physically and
mentally. In the seventeen wears
that he has graced the bench of the
supreme court, he has not lost a
single day In court on account of his
own ill-health. He comes from sturdy
stock. Born in Commerce, Oakland
county, this state, he worked his way
through Hillsdale College, and en-.
tered upon the study Of law while
working in his fathers mill. He com.
pleted these studies and graduated
from. the law department of the Uni
versity Of Michigan. At the age OF
"a he located in Lapeer. and there
entered upon the practice of law. AS
resident OF Lapeer, he has been sig
nally honored by his fellow citizens.
and was subsequently, in turn, elected
prosecuting attorney, mayor, state
senator and Judge of the sixth judicial
circuit, comprising Lapeer and Oak.
land counties.
In this position he gained great
popularity. He was always courteous
to the members of the bar. He was AT
all times affable, and never failed TO
encourage the young lawyer by kind
word and by listening patiently to
his arguments and views of the law.
In his conduct toward the Jurors.
Joe Moore-as he was Familiarity
called those days-was always ready
for a hearty hand-shake, and eager TO
bestow those little acts of kindness
and consideration that are so highly
appreciated.
In 1895 Hon. Joseph b. Moore was
elected a member of the supreme
court by a vote of $1,000 plurality,
and when he ran for reelection in
1905 his plurality was increased TO
10000 votes. He now again asks
for the suffrage of his fellow citi.
zens, and the state can i'll afford to
lose the services of Hon. Joseph B.
Moore. His knowledge of the law.
his deep insight into the ills and the
needs OF the people of this state. the
confidence which he enjoys on the
part of the members of the bar. his
vast legal experience, and ripe tudg.
ment, eminently qualify him for the
lofty Office to which the people have
twice elected him before. and to
which he should be returned in April
