Chambers had fled to her bedroom, where,
in lightest negligee and deepest distress,
she was calling up her literary husband,
when David Hartman, crack process serv-
er of New York City, just stepped over
the doorway of that Chambers matri-
monial apartment, threw the process on
the floor, and made his graceful adieux.
"Beg pardon, lady," said he. Don't
blush at your negligee. Pm not looking.
Besides, Pm married man myself Mar
ried these last six months-to a lovely
girl. Pm sorry to intrude. But the law
is the law. And I'm limb O. the law,

fingered just one minute more, from mo-
tives of gallantry-pure, chivalrous, male
gallantry. "Say, lady, would it make you
feel any better if told you l read every
thing your husband writes? Well do.
l know all his heroines by name. Nice,
fancy, romantical names-he always picks
out for them all, too"
Hartman, the masterful; Hartman, the
won't be eluded; Hartman, crack process
server of New York, who daily strives to
live up to his reputation, "he serves where
others fall" departed down the carpeted
stairs of the Chambers mansion, leaving
Mrs. Chambers clutching her pink silk
wrapper to her breast while, with two
fingers, she reached for the receiver and
called up the great master of love and
romance, her husband. In fact, Mrs.
Chambers also called up the shining legal
light of the New York bar, her lawyer.
To both of whom the dainty, shivering,
outraged, palpitating lady explained that
she had "never been so insulted in her
life"
Of course, Hartman's arrest followed.
Also the accusation of Hartman by the
lady that he had stolen her pearl neck
lace. This charge, later, to be sure, Mrs.
Chambers signihed her willingness to

IF you want to bring law suit against
somebody the law insists that you
serve a notice on the person in some
way or another.
1t is not surprising that people do not
like to be sued, and try to keep out of
reach of lawyers clerks or process servers
who make it their business to serve legal
papers on people.
1t follows naturally, therefore, that in
a great city like New York it is a profit
able business to engage in serving legal
papers for lawyers. And thus it has come
about that Mr.. David Hartman, with un-
usual fidelity to business and patience, in
genuity and resourcefulness, has risen to
the top of his profession, and is known as
the most skillful process server in New
York City.
Perhaps the general public would not
have known what an efficient person Mr..
Hartman is in his line if he had not hap
pened to have been given document the
other day to serve upon the charming
wife of Mr.. Robert w. Chambers, the
well-known popular novelist. The Cham
bers home is on East Eighty-seventh
street, and David, with his little paper
hidden up his sleeve, wanted to see Mrs.
Chambers very badly to serve that little
paper and go back to the lawyer who en-
gagged him and collect his fee.
But Mrs. Chambers, on the other hand,
didn't want to see David. And she wasn't
particularly fussy about receiving the
process.
She happened to be in the bath tub at
the time David called, MOI cover. Now,
as everybody will agree, it is bit of
bore for a lady to receive callers particu-
larly strange male callers, arrived on dis
agreeable legal errands, from the wstery
fastnesses Of her white porcelain tub.
Mrs. Chambers made this very plain to
the maid; who made it plain-or tried to
after several trips downstairs to Hart
man, waiting in the hall below. On the
last trip upstairs, however, Hartman fol-
lowed the maid. In the meantime, Mrs.

Hartman went on, "and just stepped,
very politely, into the handsome dining
room and passed Mr.. Haggin the process

Polite-but firm-that's my motto.
"But did he take me polite? l ask you,

gin, and friend of his-he did worse
than that. He left his soup to cool right
there; he departed from the seat before
which his pace card sat; he deserted his
rolls and olives and his empty cocktail
glass, and he chased me out into the hall,
past the butler, out of the front door and
onto the street, where he--to put it vul-
garly-beat me up.
