Office unlike any held by a woman in

triumph Of the watchmaker's skill, she
calls at the Greenwich observatory

ment by that official time, then carries
it around to her clients. A great many
Of her clients are watchmakers, who
find her chronometer able to make
finer distinctions than any other in
strument known. Miss Belleville Is
found to be much more exact than the
electric clocks that are set from a
central station. When tested few

nometer was found to have varied only

CHAPTER VIII.

AS Mrs. SpotsW God turned she saw
Josie for the first time, for the girl
had instantly begun a low-voiced,
somewhat giggling confab with her old
friend, Broadway, and was sitting at
the far side of the center table. where,
to his disgust, the shaded lamp cast
but an imperfect light upon her face.
The Judge looked at them, grinning,
and then did 8 thing which made
Broadway take a silent oath to see
to 1t that all the high-feed law practice
which he might find within his gift,
thenceforward and forevermore, as
long as he should live, should go to
no one but Judge Grotswood.
Come, nom, please; they've got i'm
portant things to talk about" the
judge petitioned.
Yes, know" said she, but was not
to be diverted from tev hospitality.
Broadway, will you have another
glass of lemonade?"
mo, thanks; not now"
Josie, have a cup of tear"
81 don't think so, Mrs. Spotswood."
Nov, nom, pleased" the Judge ex-
postulated.
Eyes; I'm going" said his wife, but
added, as she cast at him an angry
glance: you have to be polite to
people, don't you?"
With that she f1ounced out Of the
room, and; to the distress of Broad
way, went alone. Then and only then
he realized that the judge intended to
remain. He was actually intent on
talking business. Broadway wondered
if he might not have TO give his legal
work to some more Intelligent attor
ney. Could not the gum business wait:
But no. The judge was purely bust
ness. There was no hope. The young
man reconciled himself as best he
could.
