on the extreme edge of chairs.
At length Amos Farmer came in
carrying an envelope of oininous
length which he laid down on the
green baize. table. He adjusted q
swivel chair for his long richly-c1ad
legs and seated himself gravcly
lighting a cigar with the niceity OF q

clearing his throat. Which only
made the young man and woman the
more uneasy.
Jack whetted his lips. Mary grip
ped the chair-arms. Farmer picked
up the long envelope and emptied it
of papers. He unfolded and smooth
ed them on his knee They looked
to Jack like business letters and let
ter-press replies.
The Judge loved effect in those
days. No one cares less for it at
present
"Mrs. PURSE he demanded, "where
were you born?'
"In Foxboro Center-in Sixty-one."
"'And your parents?"
"My father was Frederick Wood.
My mothers name before her mar
riage was Sarah Talmadge."
"Ah, yes. Precisely. Good. Very
good"
The Judge stroked his silky black
whiskers. He continued:

"He was the son of Hebion Wood

In Which a Long Lane Turns Just
Little Bit and Then Resumes It's

In Which Long Lane Turns lust
a Little Bit and Then Resumes It's
Course Again Away to the Horizon.
Over thirty years have passed since
that evening. Today Judge Farmer
is. a tall, grim, big-boned Vermonter
with a -Mark-Twain head of hair, a
lawk-hke nose containing mole ia
nous in. three states, and a pair of
enormous gray moustaches which fall
below his chin like the tusks on a
walrus. He is a dean of the aPris
County Bar, president of the Peoples
National Bank and director in half
a dozen big corporations. But this
night back in the Eighties he was
rising young attorney who was some
what ceremonious with the conscious
ness of recent judgeship and an
increasing law practise among the
"best people" His wavy black hair
was scrupluously barbered and shin
ing with bay rum, he wore a choice
set Of the black "sidelight" whiskers
of the period and a tightftting suit
of black broad-cloth reputed to cost
more money than any other combin-
alton of male attire in aPris county.
Jack and Mary climbed the stairs
to his office in the southwest corner
Of teh old Hawkins block with mis-
givings amounting almost to panic.

be Summoned to a lawyers office

The Judge laid his cigar on tht
edge of the table, found the proper
papers from among the sheaf, sep
arated them and spread them out be-
fore him. He lifted the top of a big
bronze ink-well and dipped in a pen.
eff you vii sign these afidavits,
Mrs. Purse, here on the lines / have
indicated, we will not prolong your
visit here any longer than is neees-
sary." 'es
It was a quarter to nine when the
girl and her husband reached the
sidewalk. They turned the corner
by the bank, went up Maple. Street
and toward Pleasant.
"Jack," whispered the, girl fearful
ly, "-it's-it's a dream! Jack, who
would. have thought that help would
come; to, us from such a quarter.
Jack! What's the matter? Aren't
you glad?"
