lowing Wednesday would be his fifty
eighth birthday he was born of good
family in straitened circumstances; he
got his first education by home study;
he afterward taught the district
school; he worked his way along and
managed to gain admission to the bar
by supporting himself by any kind Of
respectable employment that came to
hand; his beginning in law was un-
propitious, and he had long struggle,
but success finally had come; he made
n comfortable fortune and was elected
to the bench by both parties; yes, he
was married and he had one child, a
dnughter-all this very solemnly, with
numerous details snugly fitted into the
testimony.

judge quietly, "that there should be
great liberalIty In cross-examlnations.
BY liberality 1 do not mean latitude
any more than by liberty 1 mean
license, but wise range of inquiry
that will develop not only the special
facts md circumstances, but in way
reproduce the very atmosphere Of the
incident or event. For you know, my
daughter, you may get all the facts
and still not have the truth. Any blum
derhead at law can adduce the facts,
but 1t takes the artist-the real touch
Of genius-to bring out the truth.

She was sitting on a low chair, a
kind of ottoman, with her hands folded
across her knees. More than a year
before she had returned from college,
bringing honors, live interest in af-
fairs and splendid health. Her father,
the distinguished jurist who had as
cended to the bench after making a for
tune in the practice of his profession, In
which his leadership was admitted by
his entire state, had expressed some
surprise when she said she wanted to
study law. but 1t was all arranged In n
day, and she had proved not only an
apt but an enthusiastic pupil. She
looked about as much like an attor-
ney as Portia. She was tall, graceful
and beautiful, with light hair that was
forever trying to escape its restraints.
and with the kind blue eyes that see
opportunities and find out the best
ways Of encompasslng them.
II must be confessed that the exnmi-
nation or cross-examinatlon which fol-
lowed was somewhat out Of the usual
order. The attorney, through Judge
Matthew Stake, ordered witness Mat

was saying something which she could
