The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1914-07-23

buoIuAly. SoCkoO0 Jones amused alWs
always: to some extent he could sym
pathiss with his revolt against Jones'
Vile. He himself had revolted against
Jonesvtlle in his youth. but there had
been no fortune coming to him with
the arrival OF his manhood to release
him from the hated village. And. be-
sides. he was uncomfortable tonight.
He wondered II he ought to tell Broad
way what he had learned.
will you consider ms your Law.
yer!'' the Judge asked.
Consider you my lawyer. Judge? OF
course you are my lawyer. Weren't
you my fathers lawyer?"
Not always: did not draw his
will. for instance. And in other things
your uncle-well. II your father had
but listened. as hope you'll listen. his
brother Abner never would have"
Sure! l know. And you've already
been my lawyer Didn't you get me
out of Jail there in New Haven! Imag-
Inc being locked up in New Haven!
And I'd only dropped a melon from the
window. II the chief of police hap
pened to be going by. was that my
fault? I'd have eaten the melon il it
hadn't been SO spoiled. And still they
locked me up! They made criminal
of me! It's bad enough to be a GRIM
inal. but to be a criminal imprisoned
In New Haven-heavens! Suppose .
man should be locked up in Jonesville!
Why. he'd die OF shame"
We'll. II you accept me as your law
yer. when your uncle asks you to sell
out your interest In the Jones Gum
company you will refuse. When you
do that. he'll try to bind you not to
sell out to the trust as long as you
both live. l hope you'll never sell out
pers. jackson. although you know
what the trust purchase Of the factory
would mean to Jonesville-and to all
OF u.s.
I'll not sell out to the trust, Judge.
but II my uncle"
He'll not offer you a fair price He'll
want to get bargain. And remem-
Der that the company will get richer
every year"
But the trust may bust It.
Il hope you'll take that chance. my
boy. rather than ever be party to
running the old home town"
All right. Judge. I won't sell to
Uncle Abner-anyway. just now. I
won't need the money. There's enough
coming to me to keep me busy for .
while"
jackson. l wish you might feel Diff
ferently about the starting of your life
as grown man. II you could culti-
vate feeling of responsibility"
1T bores me. could never even
spell it,"
I'm afraid 1t does. Jackson. and
that worries me- But"
You'll come to New York. some
time. and-and-"
jackson. I'm afraid shall"
And keep 1t secret that we're either
one of US from Jonesville."
Jackson" said the Judge. reproving-
ly. you'd better get along toward
home. And don't think too much about
those lights. Broadway. like every
other street, IL safer in the daytime.
before the lights are lit"
THE lights are Broadway's eyes"
