Judge Dennison had never been q

practice OF the Judge was small and

young Norton
yes, papa o. said Vera, and she
lowered her eyes and flushed slightly.
She had come TO know her fathers
law student quite well. She cher.
ished him as a loyal trusted friend Of
the Judge and liked him for that.
Ward Morton asks permission to
come to the house and study In the
library" explained the Judge. "Poor
fellow! am sorry for his sake. He
does not want to make a new connec.
.ion, however. With three months
study he can qualify for the bar and
start In for himself"
Out Of the change in the profess
sional life Of Judge Dennison there
grew a sweet romance. Ward Morton
came daily to the house and studied
in the library. Vera could not help
but meet him. This young man re.
ceiyed a commission fol! copying some
OLD documents involving quite good
pay. He asked Vera to assist him and
she YVES glad TO earn q little extra
money.
One morning Vera. was In the IL.
brary arranging some books on their
shelves and busting and cleaning up
generally. 1t was quite early and she
expected to complete her task before
Morton arrived. He surprised her on
the little step ladder, however. ar
ranging some ponderous law volumes.
you must let me take that heavy
work of your hands, Miss Dennison,"
insisted Morton in his usual courteous
way, and they chattcd pleasantly, she
banding up the books and Morton ar.
ranging. them.
Then suddenly a ponderous tome
slipped from his hand. There was a
sharp cry of pain as IT struck Vera on
the face and fell to the floor. In.
stlnctively she raised her hand to her
injured cheek.
"oh, how awkward OF mel" cried
Morton, seltreproachfully. you are
hurt?4 and in deep solicitude he re-
moved her hand from her cheek. A
dark bruise showed.
And my stupid fault" said Morton,
and then because he could not help It,
he pityingly rererently with his lips
touched the cruel bruise.
In confusion Vera kneeled to pick
up the book, and Morton assisted her
IN gathering up some papers that had
fallen out Of it. Suddenly Vera utter.
ed a quick cry.
Your check" began the solicitous
Morton.
mo! mol" she wavered, drawing
with shy consciousness away from
this ferrent admirer. as II fearing his
earnest sympathy would carry him
away a second time-'these papers!
Oh, father must know about these at
once!"
Within the hour. Judge Dennison
was the hnpptest MIN, in all chrlsten.
