ErSkine'S Case
~
AkS
BY MARY PARRISH
Copyright, by w. q. ChaIman.)


Andrew Carr agreed to take young
Erskine into his law office because
he was the son of his old friend. He
kept him there because he was max
ing good.
Fred hasn't done anything extra
ordinary SO far" he confided to his
chum, "but | trusted him with pref
ty important case the other day, and
he put it through. The trouble is he
has a bee in his bonnet. Well, sup
pose you've got to expect it. Like all
young fellows he has fallen il love,
and wants to get married"
well, what's to hinder?" asked the
other.
1.-THE trouble is the girl has just been
graduated from a law school, and he
wants me to take her into the Office.
Well, won't have it. I don't believe
in woman lawyers. l won't have the
office all upset. If she wants to marry
him let her stay home and make a
home for him. If he persists in his
fool notions / suppose I'll have to part
with him." And the old man heaved
q sigh of regret.
Fred Erskine had begun work on a
very important case. 1t seemed rath-
er strange to him that Carr had en-
trusted him with such a big under
taking, only STIMULATING that he was to
be occasionally advised as to the prog
ress of the affair, and consulted if
necessary.
He confded the matter to Edna Fer
ris, his fiancee, in whom at this stage
of his career he confided everything.

gentleman is just trying me out. If !
win this case, he may take me into
the firm"

eyes, know that. But you want to

Then Erskine was forced to tell the
girl Mr.. Carr's aversion to women in
the profession. II told him." he add

ed, 81 thought those ideas went out
with the Victorian age. But you can't
bulge him."
F.! Never mind, DEAR" she said consol-
ingly, after the manner of women,
though her own heart sank within her.
."We1l bide our time. 1t will come"
Then Fred kissed her, and wondered
If there ever was another such a girl
in the world.
Edna became so interested in the
case, she urged him to let her help
him, and so instead of the ordinary
talk of two young people very much
in love with each other the evenings
were given up to points of common
law and Jurisprudence. The young
man became more and more impressed
with the clear thinking and logical
brain of his counselor.
| One day he confided to Edna: 81

bit anxious and doubtful about this
case. He has got on to that evidence

mo, but if l should lose this-Edna,
I've got TO win! There's too much at
stakel 1t means everything TO me-"
A few days after this, Edna received
a telephone call to come TO the Ben
Welt hospital. Mr.. Erskine had met
with a slight accident, and wished to
see her. Almost distracted, the girl
hurried to the hospital. She found the
young man with bandaged head, arm,
and leg stretched on cot. He had
been struck by an automobile, and
was as he expressed rather run out
of commission for the present" He
tried to reassure Edna by saying it
was nothing serious, and he would be
out in two or three days.
Don't tell anyone, least of all,
Carr" he implored. If he thought
couldn't go on with the case. he'd get
wild, and call in someone else"
