Many of 'the irrational creatures surpass us in the gifts we liol-d .in common, but speech is the glory of man alone. As this gift is to truly remarkable, for the use of it *we shall be held strictly accountable. "By thy words thou shall be condemn- *d;" and "For every idle word men ���' shall speak they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. ��� But it is not of the abuse of speech t would speak, but of its use in our social intercourse with one another, of its proper employment 'by Christian*, , whose tongue is mostly utilised in discourse about'the passing things of the Hay, and who look forward to the time when, ^before His thone, 'this same ���, tongue shall announce His praise, i How, then, can Christians carry out the Apostolic injunction mentioned in .' ' the text? Can there be grace or savor ' 'discovered in the conversations of daily life Can our ordinary speech be not only free from blame, but! can it also 8iavev in it that which is good to the point of edification? 'lYes. "There is One that hoklelh His peace,' that is fourtd wise;" One who lived thirty years in ordinary life and - whose, tongue gave no offence. He made doors and bars to His mouth and kept .His tongue from evil, and in every word was pleasing to His Father. While the Evangelists have given us no account of our Lord's words during those thirty years, yet there are three instances related that unfold to us a fact that our Lord mingled freely in Bocial intercourse with others���first, iwhen he tarried ^ behind after the fes- / tival in Jerusalem; next, at. the marriage feast in Cana, and then the words "The Son of Man came eating and drinking." ��� These instances show that our Lord did'not shun social meetings with His neighbors. For all that, He was in no way odd, but chose to be iike \mto the mass .of His brethren and to pass-through life as most 6f us have to pass through. He took part in all things not sinful in which our daily lives are spent, and_ thereby gave us the comforting assurance that our lowliness and earthlincss need not make us sinful, cither. He proved conclusively that we need not separate ourselves from our ordinary calling to be acceptable to God. So Jesus Christ walked with men for many years -without separating Himself from them in speech, for His speech ,was "always with grace, savored with salt." Surely we can learn a lesson after the manner' of Christ ! Many honest-minded persons have an erroneous idea that conversations cannot br righteous unless religious topics are spoken of, and they regard all who arc jiot prompt in such speech as unspirit- ual. How unlike Christ is this class ! "For thirty years Christ drew olhc-rs to-1 ward what was good, yet it was '6 done as not to attract extraordinary attention to' Himself; so done that He seemed to those to whom He spoke as none othei than what His outward con- 1 dition betokened Him, "the carpenter's son." This class, however, constantly attract attention to themselves by placing too much value on religious talk in every day life*. , The action of Christ, on the other hand, suggests that our ordinary conversations are vastly more important than our direct religious comments, or, in other words, it is of greater consequence that we watch over our common talk on ordinal y matters than that we be often talking religiously, for there is no need for religious conversations to reveal the true inwardness of a man. What is really in a man .will be felt in his ordinary discourse. "Out of tho abundance of the heart th" mouth speaketh. A good man, out of a good treasure, bringcth forth good things, and an evil man, out of an etil treasura, bringcth forth evil things." iFor a truly religious man will have hi* words always "seasoned with salt." As in our ordinary meals a little silt, though it does not appear, yet savors the food, so, too, without protrauing itself the influence of a good man who has the love and fear of God in his soul will be felt. On. the contrary, the man who talks religion, constancy dwelling especially upon himself, his feelings, his experiences, his fitness to teach and guide others, has his speech overseasoncd with salt and leaves an unpleasant savor; for if any man think himself religious, ."not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this man's religion is vain." Let us strive, then, to use aright this gift of speech, so that in the resurrection, amid the perfections of the future She���Now that papa has lost all his money, 'marry me? ��� * He���My darling, can't you see'Ilia, t I do? state, our tongues may be deemeo worthy to be everlastingly employed in giving glory, honor, praise and thanksgiving to Him who sits upon the throne, and let our prayer be the words ���of the Psalmist, "Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth and a door around my lips," forever bearing in mind that "a peaceful tongue is a tree of life, but that which is immoderate shall crush the spirit." Oats a Safe Hen Food It Is strange what fool theories men of good - common sense will allow themselves to believe.- Listen to this, which ,comes from one of our veterinary writers: "Oats in the hull will eo injure and inflame the lining of the crop of the fowl as to cause death." As a> theory, this is bad enough, but when" we are told'by some poultry editor that we must give up feeding oats because the practice is dangerous, then is becomes ridiculous. As a1 matter of fact, the hull of the bat is'not of an inflammatory ' nature, -. and*, contains nothing that can possibly lead to an inflamed condition.

What is known as Devonshire cream is a species of pasteurized cream and i* made as follows :��� "The milk must be taken direct from the cow and strained into the pans in the usual way. It should set in a cooi dairy, and I believe for want of this cool apartiient many a good housewife has failed to turn out the genuine article. Good, sound pans must be used, as they have to bear constant heating. . There ,is an objectionable plan in some establishments of leaving the milk in the sheds for- a time aftei it is drawn from the cow. Clotted cream made from such milk will not , turn out a good flavor, as there is sure to have been more or less tainting oi milk while standing about. Just now many Devonians milk out in the open field, and ii tlie cows arc quiet the plan has its advantages, for there is no tainting of milk there. . "This requires the most care ; indeed, there is nothing else in the whole process but a mere tyro could (manage. As soon as the milk is cold, or, say, about nine or twelve hours after brought from the cow, the pans arc lifted to the fire. In big dairies there are what are known as Devonshire stoves especially made for the purpose. The stoves so made, heat water in which a number of pans may be set so as to scald a quantity of milk with little trouble. In smaller dairies the kitchen range does duty, the pans of milk being set in vessels of boiling water, or the pans may be set on a heated range. In any case, the object is to soald the milk, and to ��!b it promptly and exactly.

Ii had been a close tie between Ulmont Ulvesford and himself a.3^ to which was in reality the favoredi s"uit- or., 1 1 ' ,- 1 * '' There had been a time when Loraine hardly Knew herself just which she like better; when she ultimately chose Ulmont tTivesford, all hopes of reigning as > master of Lorrimer Hall fell I'kc a house of cards around the schemer. Eo had never loved* the fair, haughty 'beauty,' yet he had vowed to win her fortune, ho had* been resigned to accept Loraino wfth it. Eagerly he 'watched' the rapid recovery of his rival, bitcerly cursing his luck. His congratulations, although beting antythihg but sincere, had the essence of earnestness in tone and look, which, although a spurious article, readily passed for the genuine coin. ' ' Loraine, who -had rapirJly recovered from her terrible shock, had taken up her place with his mother, whose illness had not proven so serisus as was at first supposed, at Ulmont's bedside, antd good old Dr. Nelson often ^remarked 'his patient's rapid recovery was In a great measure due to Loraine's careful nursing. "I never could have spared him," she would 'say, with a bright, happy laugh, while Ulmont answered gently: ' ' "The life you have striven so hard to save, 'Loraino, shall ever be devoted to you!" To Ulmpnt Ulvesford there seemed to exist no break in tho love ho had always borne to Loraine. Mrs. Ulvesford had t.ikon up her vigil by his bedside, refusing to be comforted; all the love of her life was centered in her hand-^ome, only son. Once, in his 'dreams, and sho saw his lips move, as she bent her head, she thought she heard him wh'sper a sweet, fanciful name; it sounded like "Izetta." He never uttored the name but once, and she soon forgot tho incident, it was of so little Import. Slowly Ulmont Ulvesford gathered np the tangled threads of his Ii��e again; by degrees a part of the scattered past returned to him. He remembered quite well his travels abroad, the peoplo whom he had met, and tho pleasant ocean voyage ' (His vow, his man in go, and the existence of his fair, young wife were Bwept entirely, from Ulmont Ulves- ford's min'd. Heaven pity him I how should" ho ever know of them again? The only one who could have pierced1 the darkness of that benighted brain, and whispered <"0 him of the 'broken- hearted young wife who waited in vain for his coming, was good old Paul Ulingsworth, and with him every memento of thai brief, strange past was'swept entiiely from the-face of the earth.. Owing to Ulmont's strong constitution, his convalescence was more rapid than might have been^expected. He was amazed when they told him the fall and winter had passed away and spring had come onco more. < Every one was so pleased to greet the young heir again. 1 "It was quite worth his illness to see how much people cared' for jiim," he said, with a gay laugh. < He was tho same happy,1 careless, debonair fellow as of old; he was changed only in appearance; yet that change was * * wonderful ��� his most intimate friends were amazed.' ,' -��� The deep hazels eyes and laughing mouth were the same; but- the dark waving masses of nut-brown hair were goao; fair rings clustered around his brow instead, gold as Loiaino's own, soft and shining. , ., ' The effect was marvelous. Those who had admired 'Ulmont Uh esford nefore, were doubly charmed - witn him now. '" f \ * Since his illness he had'been given to. strange fits ot melancholy reveries which seemed ever seeking some' thought quite foigotten, which brought with them a vague/ indefinable pain; he could neverUell why he alwaysattrlbuted'it to some vanished' fancy "during his illness; he did not care to remember it. Mrs. Ulvesford clasped Loraino in her arms, saying the happiest day of her life would be <"he day which made'her hei son's wife. _, (. ' } \, * ,. 'Again, through the cruel mystene- of fate, the wedding preparations were going, steadily on. This time it_was concluded that the ceiem'ony should be - performed at'-'the church in the early morning, when the sun'was shining and the birds were sngiing. "I could never endure a repetition of--that cruel night at, Lorrimer Hall, when I thought I had lost you," -whispered Loraino. * "You*shall have your own,' way, my darling," answered Ulmont; "your Jway shall be' my law." ��� So it was arranged that the wed- Iding should take place at the church, and be as quiet a one i>s possible. The propitious morning dawned at last. At an' early hour a, long array ol carriages drew up before +he' little vine-covered, chuich in the suburbs The sunshine' drifted down through 'the foliage like molten" gold; the robins in the green branches mingled their notes with the tuneful bobol.'nk the sweet scent of honcvsuckle and clover wafted their fingranoe ovei the hawthorn' hedges, the sun hinted love to the cloud's, the birds sang of love to their mates; love was the song the little brook sang as it danced joyfully over the white pebbles��� ail nature sang of love on this pitiful marriage morn. ' 'Ulmont would allow no shadow to cross the brightness of the day. If one of those strange, brooding fancies he could not define stole over him, he shook it off and forgot it in watching the beautiful, flower- like face of Loraine. ' Neither the sunshine, the ' flowers, tho birds, nor the brooklet warned them of the fatal tragedy which was about to be enacted; a tragedy too deep, too bitter for words to describe, and they went on to their doom with a smile on their faces. The sunshine streamed in through the colored windows, flecking the bride's soft, fleecy robes, with bars of crimson, purple and gold. 1 Ulmont pressed the 'littlo hand tenderly as thoy took their places at the1 altar. Suddenly, and without warning, 'dark clouds scudded across tho sunshine, tho soft, summer breeze wailed among the tall oak trees, and the flowering lilacs; tho blossoms on the hillside swayed to and fro, bending their heads before the storm. Tho distant ocean wildly beat tht> shore like a relentless, angry spirit; in one brief instant tho face of nature had changed. Thunder rolled across the darkening sky. and vivid flashes of lightning, following each other in rapid succession, felled many a sto te- ly forest oak, whose crashing as it fell to earth was plainly heaid, and they /lit up tho group that stood toe- fore the dim altar, with its cold, 'bright glare. * Loraine's faoe was very pale, and Ulmont noticed tho littlo hand which he held fluttered slightly. Ulmont Ul- vesford's face was calm and implacable as a marble statue. A half hour after tbey had entered the dim, old church they were pronounced ��� oh, cruel mockery of fate��� pronounced man nnd wife.

Six weeks abroad bad passed that bright, sunny morning, Ulmont Ulvesford and Loraine : stood before the altar in the church. Thoy had visited France, Italy,, and sunny Spain, and were now. en route to Switzerland. , "Let us visit tho Alps last, my; husband," Loraine had said. "I want} the soenes I love best to linger last- in my memory." Ulmont was loth to leave the blua skies of Spain, wheie the olive and the myrtle ripen luxuriantly under the golden sunshine. "Now that ~ raine," he forever." r , Had Loraine 'remained in Spain, as her husband so strangely urged, the first cloud that ciossed the horizon of their wedded life might never have risen. 1 , ( ' ' Together they went to Savoy, that , marvelous / valley which lies uncLer the ibowlders of Mont Blanc ' * , * .- , I Loraine's delightv was as rapturous mi a child's as she culled the Alpine roses from the ed^-e of the fiownmg filacers. _ ' .

You would not permit free advertising, so I must not mention its name. In fact, there ia a little practical difficulty in so doing, that I will let you infer.' My newspaper depends upon its reputation for giving all of the news, rather It is related that once, when "Punch" printed a cartoon representing an 'ma"ra- *ry conversation between James McNeil fRTuster ana Oscar Wilde,, Wilde wired Whistler: "Ridiculous; when you and,I *re togother we never talk about any- "Humj except ourselves." "You forget" ir-eplied Wliistle-r in a return telegram, when you and I are together we never walk about anything except me." The- following story is credited to a jNejr Orleans lawyer, who was asked to mddrcss the boys of a business school. He commenced:���''My young friends, as I approached the entrance to this room I motlced on the panel of the door a word �����"<*nt'** appropriate to an institution pt this kind. It oppresses the one thing ���lost useful to the average man when he ���tepa into the arena of life. It was " l"Pu"V shouted the boys, in a roar' of "teugbter, and the lawyer felt that h�� amd taken his text from the wrong side , *M the door. , I Ot Miaa "Bee* Drew, John .Drew'i "MUffhtor, it is aald that one day in her tehildfaood she asked her father how of- ton a certain paper, "The Daily ," 'appeared. "The paper is called the "Daily,' {isn't it?" Mr. Drew asked. "Yes," said ,��he young girl. "Then mustn't it of ne- .oeeei'y appear every day?" "I don't ��mte see that," said Miss Drew. "It i�� iplaln enough. Why'don't you see it?" ilier father asked. /'Because," she answered, "if The Daily ' must appeal every day, then "The Century* must ap- Ipear every century." ��� One day rocently, says the Koehestei Post-Express," a certain justice of the jfiuprerae Court'of that district invited a jlnend of his, a lawyer, to go sailing With him. The wind was brisk at the start, and it soon freshened, nnd then little craft began to loss and loll in'a manner that caused the lawyer much in * ward uneasiness. The judge, reading hit friend's plight in his contortions, laid a I*??* -nand on his' shoulder, and said KX?'

Tnere��- fore, it does not think it necessary to .begm every important article on the first page. B6foro I discovered my newspaper,' I used to become very irritable at tho breakfast table. I would begin a piece of news, -read down the column, and find tins formula/ "Continued on page' thrae." Then I would refold' the great sheet, stand it up against tho water-pitcher,' and read a dozen lines to the end; Turning back to the first page, I would begin another article and soon come to a stop' with the words, "Continued on page nine." Thia time I would rumple ihe paper considerably as I hunted for tVhe sequel. About the third time, I would say to my wife, "What ia the matter with this I coffee? , I'never drank such vile .stuff before in my life." We killed a man at our club the other night, and he was a good fellow, too. We, all liked him, but we all joined in' the most brutal assault upon him. The trouble was that he would everlastingly interlard his talk with such expressions as this: "The news about Smith, that I was'the first to make public, etc." Or Ngse Betray- 'ine CaSr-irtcr. The fcnman character betrays Jtsalf on ���very hand and every foot, and even on the human nose, if the observer only knows where to look and how to apply' his observations. Phrenology and palmistry are well known, but the art of pedomanoy is the latest 'means ,of ascertaining the true character of the individual. Domestic comfort is denoted by having "the second toe humped above the rest, at the same time escaping a corn." On' the other hand, or ' foot, small 'feet cramped by small shoes mark their owner as possessing "vanity nnd great courage." A short, thick, stubby foot with rather; large .ankle shows "not so much executive ability as dogged persever-' ance." , ' , Beware of the man whose ankles turn in; "he is generally ncan and 'selfish," and women who st. ��� d 'on one foot are full of ideas and ori- nnlity." This duck- like attitude is certainly unusual. People who cross the feet or' stand 'on one side of the foot are irritable, eccentric, talented and uncertain. An addendum is the declaration that mentality 1b marked on the heel. A network of. small lines, denotes great versatility and skill in art and literature, while a smooth sur'soa of heel is * sure sign of a pUdd, noowork- ing brain. _;. , The long second toe means �� masterful mind and is a clear .indication th*t the owner of the long second toe lVths ruler of the domestic, household.

Onco, when the late Bishop of Canter fmry, who was an.almost fanatical advo jcate of the temperance movement, wni tBisbop of Exeter, he travelled some dis jtaitce into the country to attend an ag iaricultural function. On his return, h?i jreab was disturbed by a newsboy shout "Remarkable statement' by 'thi ��� of Exeterl" To gratify his cu.-i f, lie despatched a ^servant ito. pur * the paper. This"^was;foundatc ontaln his morning's address, but ovei "Bis remark���jocosely made, .of course��� I U have never been drunk in my life,' Nihe sub-editor had placed the bold crosi 2��ead, "Remarkable Statement by thi ���Bishop of Exeter!" . 1 On one occasion when Mr. John IM JDunlop, now a prominent official of i Uarge banking institution in Montreal - fwas crossing the Atlantic, a noted pun ster was exhibiting his skill in thi ismokor by making pun3 from the namei jof his fellow-passengers. A discussio* arose, and the punster declared hi3 abil ifcy to squeeze a pun from the name oi ianyone on the ship. "Wait a bit," ex- (claimed Dunlop, *T11 wager you thi ���smokes that you can't work it on mj |name." Quick as a flash came the re- [spouse: "Oht that's easy; just 'lop�� of) |the last three letters and it's 'dun.1 JDunlop bought for the crowd. this, "Mi I told you all last week, etc." by toes indicate" two*things: First."that Some of the gentlest members of the club ft"* -'- ���' * 8 .-*""��� Wlat fell upon him in a perfect rage. There oame into the village a man who undertook to reform the club; he said wo were too dull,' too remote from real life. "What," snid he, "do we care about the downfall of the British ministry, or the prospects of polar exploration?". He said the daily newspaper was a very good index to what the people were interested in, and we ought to get our* subjects fiom the press. Woll, to be brief, he carried his point Jjid revolutionized the club.--I-will give a few of the topics that I hear have been under discussion: "Who began tho row at lUcFlynn's saloon?" "The naked fact* of the^Jonesbury divorce case." "The-art of padding for scrawny built women." They tell me the meetings are very full I don't.know.

"Mary Queen of Scots was a most un-, happy woman, wasn't she?" enquired'a' thin man of a friend in1 the train the' other day. ' , . "Indeed she was," replied -the other earnestly. "Queen Elizabeth was also far from, haPPy�� wasn't-'she?" ��� ��� , ��� "Very much bo, I should say, if history is to be believed."

Ho.had but -ono' rival in that linoi Palgrave, who compiled the "GoldeS Treasury." Much interest sprang uj among their friends whe,i the two weni off on a trip together. "It's an even chance which will returr alive," said one man, solemnly. When they did come back, Palgrave was palo, emaciated, silent; but Stanley seemen ,1'nmoved, and more all-knowing than ever. One night Buckle, the author of "Thi History of Civilization," was laying down^ the law on every subject, with a magnificent pomposity that made the table quake. At last ho put forth some statement about the burning of a witch, ���and .set tho date a century out of the way. Stanley, who was present, had oorno some preceding inaccurncios verj well, wibh only a slight shaking of the head nnd a reddening of the face. t Suddenly his self-control gave way, and he leaped to his feet. He extended hit* hand, and piped forth in a vigoroui treble:��� "[ hog your pnrdon, but the lust witch was burned at such-and-such a place, in -fluch-nnd-Biioh a year, under such-and- ���anc'i circumstances And her namo was -so-and-so, and you will find all about'it in n. l>ook to which I can easily refer, you/ nnd which you evidently don't 'know." Tort en ts of impiisoncd knowledge were -���thereupon poured on Buckle's head, un til the lii.slorian of civilization sat wrathful, oxtiHguLshcd, mute. But a little Inter he had bin revenge. Some one mentioned a new dictionary as a good one. "It is," said .Buckle, with solemnity, '"it in one of the few dictionaries I hav�� ���road through with pleasure." The intimation that he had read any dictionary through for pleasure so-as- tonislied the guests that they forgot bis past discomfiture in new awe. "What on earth' are you driving at, may I'ask?" broke in the man who was being regaled with the* names of the unhappy women of history. 'I was just about to remark," continued the thin man, "that the name of the unhappiest woman in the world does not appear in history. Now, I've got a sister-in-law named Martha Tabbs, and just at present she is the most wretched woman on the face of the earth." "What's the matter with her���lost 'money?" "No���J�� "HI, maybe?" broke in the other. "No j but, you see, last week her husband bought her a two-guinea hat "' "And I suppose the two-guinea hat made her more unhappy than Mary Queen of Scots was, when she discovered that her neighbor had one costing five?" "That was not it at all. She was as nappy as a skylark in a June meadow until she tripped and fell going up some iteps and sprained her ankle. She is now lying in bed, unable to wear the hnt, and by the time she can wear it, it will probably be out of fashion. I tell you it is sad to watch her looking tearfully at that hat, which hangs on a peg near hei bed. Talk about the unhappy women of history. Why she is more unhappy than any ten of them put together."���"Pick.- Me-Up." ' Caught in the Act Walter A. WyckolT, professor of sociology at Princeton, recently married Miss the owner went shoeless when young, and, secondly, a great firmness of,character. .. . j A high instep shows a nervous person - easily excited and as easily tired. A'low Hat instep marks the man who gathers together the money and holds it. Widespread feet indicate in a man a disposition to stop.iiiid consider before he acts, while a swinging foot that look" as if it was about'to hook into its mate shows irresolution and lack of detcrmina-' tion. t , In a woman a long.'narrow foot always shows high 'breeding, and a small fool does not always appear desirable, as the* exceedingly small ones mean a weak'and submissive character., Nooography is moie .'it hails from Austria where much icsearch has been devoted to the, study of'noses as an in- dicatton of character.. A small nose indicates lack of moral vigor, a flat'nose lowness of intellect,*!!, pug nose indelica-' ey, a drooping, nose dullness, while the j S1 proclaims strength of will and the Grecian proboscis goes with a re lined character. ' - , , These are merely, the rudiments Q!- nosography; there are subtler signs, sue! as a thin bridge (shrewdness), two later al prominences (literary skill), wrinkler on either side-(wealth), and large no�� tnls (courage).. It is disconcerting that a man's character should be thus writ ii - , his nose 'that all who, join the Nose graphological institute may read. Ca* ' a man conceal his nose? When a bulh" ous-nosed individual sees a fellow-passenger in 'the street car eyeing his prominent purpled organ, it is useless to at tribute it to indigestion; the nose spells as plainly as if it spoke, "Black List," tr trie observant stranger. Finger-nails are also signs! Broac ���nnger-nails denote timidity and gentle ness; ambition and pugnacity are told b\ narrow nails. A short-nailed woman will criticize her friends and foes, bu- she will also criticize herself with thi same severity. The best dramatic an* literary critics possess this nail."

But to begin at the beginning of the tttory it is necessary to go back to the May -when Old Curry returned from the ifiupreme Court chambers. ( Yes, Curry was an old-timer. Tht ifaahion of his clothes���the ample tiou- ���ers, the long-tailed coat, the hea\y cravat, only less nntique than a. stock the rolling 'collar, the dusty, broad- brimmed silk hat that rested like Web ���ter's squarely upon his wrinkled lorn- fr,leg���auickly pioelaimed his detachment rom the modern mode. * 60 that the figure of Old Curry *�� it Eoved up Center street wns in a iu��rko4 ay diflerent from any other likely U s seen on that thoroughfare.

Tha melghborhood seemed to expressta recollection of tlie dramas of the quadrangle, ��, consciousness of low company, a cynical expectation that the , world would continue to be wicked. Legal beasts of iprey prowled In the shndows-, and Old Curry passed among ,thcm' at one who ehould gather his toga from tiro'touch ��f the uno'can. Yet the building in which Curry ha<�� Ills office seemed to withdraw, liko Curry himself, from the meanness of,the ���urroundings. The little biri store oil the street was always -chirpy.

"If you ever expect to be stenographer of the Supreme *Courl you'll have to get a move or. -you." And ���the boy disappeared hurriedly, prodin Sng a sound beyond the door as of if all ing downstairs. , ,' The musty office grew quiet again The noises from the stree't were punctu ated by an oecasional scream from tin' parrot in the bird store. Old Cu-rr,. arose and 'bestwed his papers in -tli: yellow-brown sa-fe. ) "Johnny Kclla has been getting mtc at tow," he remarked. "Yes" returned Martin, "and Sand ler*s been in here and retained. us." ��� 1.

"I can't help that," declared the seniot 1 partner sternly, -"lVe passed my "word* "So ihave I," the sob fretfully persisted, "and talked over the whole case '���taken the price from him, and promised to be at Slote's in tho morning when the case is called." * Old Curry made an impatient gesture. "I suppose we couldn't drop Sandler ���could wet" he demanded. "���Yes, I suppose we could if there wa9 ony sense in it. But we havn't anything against Sandler.

"Would yout" thundered the old ,��nan. ".Well, keep it up. Have all the business principles you want. But 'let me tell ,you that I'm going to represent Johnny Kells." Young Curry looked up inflexibly, but with an uneasy glitter In his eye.' "I don't suppose I can prevent you." "And if Sandler is to be represented from this office you'll have to do it on your own account." "I could do it," admitted Martin in * hard tone. "If it hnd to be that way I could manage it. The crowd over there wouldn't aslc anything better. There'!' be a fine laugh all round." "If you're at all sensitive about that,'' delivered Old .Curry from his desk "there's a way'outI" Martin stood staring through tha 6ack window, from which lie had a sordid and depressing prospect. He could hear tho pnirofc, swearing, downstair* The'father "made ready to teavethe oJ_ flee for the day. As Old Curry 'was going out Martir swung about and asked dryly, "Is it th' widder?" But' Old Curry elammed-the door and almost knocked backward down th? steps the "future stenographer of tb.6 Supreme Court.' \ Curry the younger arrived at tho office in the morning soon after Tanner ,had completed certain mystical passei I with a , feather duster which in the ! youth's p^ind were associated with an inconsequent obligation. Martin spent 'some minutes in study of the New Code of Criminal Procedure. Of late years consulting the authorities toad been Martin's particular duty. Old 1 iCurry's eyes were not the good servants they once had been. Moreover ,the old man's patience had been long since exhausted by the 'facility with which legislatures , deface the noble 'monuments of law. In cross-cxamina- ;'tion the .senior paitner was a tower of ' 'etrength, and in Jib summing up ho .worthily kept alive- the traditions of tho 'stalwart past. His citations were uncertain, and his temper uneven, but iuries believed him, and judges icniein- tbeicd what he had been. If Martin sometimes winced at his father's looser 1 technique, he had seen juries quail' find j tho bench unbend. Ho' admired his fa- I fhtr. ��� ' , ...'''. I Slaving finished his examination of tho Code, Martin placed the volume on a corner of his fathei's table. Just then Old Curry came in. , , . The old man opened and read his letters without saying a word.' He picked up the Code and peered at it for a time, ^. Then - he 'wheeled about in his chair. / , _ , " "Are you still "for Sandler!" hto naked, with an unconciliatory lightness.

Sandler 'had already lumbered ����. i'T suppose it's about time t' git across the way," he said. /"How are , yer, Dant" he -added ,on seeing the senior partner, and continued, with the effect 'of addressing the two of them, "There'*- one thing I forgot t' tell yoa about "thi-* mule. "��� ' _ ���* "I guess you'd better wait till i get ���out of here/' interrupted Old Curry. . "You n'eedn'.t tear yourself away," observed Martin, but OHd 'Curry hw'd .gone. ' ' ' " * ��� Sandler'looked puzzled. "Whtti-s the matter -with the old mant" �� *"The trouble wilh him," answered Martin, "is that "ieVgoing to represent ithe other side." ����� *.-���������-.. "W-eli, I'll be���, .Yon don't mean ��� '. "Yes, I do*. ' I mean just that. John a* iKclls has got him.". Plainly Sandler rwas dazed,;*s 'the., {descended to the street. On the steps c! Ithe Tombs he remarked grimLy, -"I can'i 'see what Dan's .gone back on me f or." ^ ��� They entered the shadow of thc'graV lEgyptuan 'corridor, ..and turned to J.h< flight 'into the police 'Court, ipaased be 'tween'the spectators'"Benches, and tool iseats within the inclosure. 'Behind th< Idesk at the end of the >room sat Justic iSlote, -who at this mon.cnt was asking 1 iauui.. j. u lUbiier rny you t>ne cutter- ence myself," he afterward growled to ^Sandler. It was 'thus that the case of Tlie Peo pie vs. Kails came to, trial in the adjoining chamber of the Tombs two days later���came to trial with the father'on one cide and the son on the other; with Sandler, big and fierce, to the fore, and Johnny Kells defiantly amiable first to last. , They called it a memorable day' in that\Egyptianncavern (tho Bridge of Sighs opening on tho'left), not alone for the trial itself���which was, after all, but d short affair���but for the audience it evoked. Four aldcimen had eome in with Supervisor Jo Budd; and the Dojan boys, under Sheriff Shane, - shufllcd ; through the door after Wun Lung, (the Chinese interpietcr, tossing the last of a cigar behind the rear benches. Here itoo, was Coroner Croker, and the grca. criminal lawyer^ Slenthorne himself. It was not icmaikablc that Malstcn, f fattest of tlie three magistrates who occupied the bench, fahould awaken fiom his doze nnd mutter to Coi win; "What's Stenny doin' here?" "Dunno," returned Coi win, "unless to see the fun in the Kells case.'.' * '. After it wa3 over, woid went'about that the Mayor and the District Attoi nex.hj.d he.cn seated io-tkc outer crowd, At all events the -world seemed* to havo learned that Old Curry and his son were to fight a case in the Spcciil Cessions. The place would hold no more. "Even the' corridor creaked*with the would-be spectators, so that it ^vas a momentous matter for Old Curry to get in, and to make'a path for the Widow Kells, 1. who was a'.resplendent person that.day, her black silk rustling richly as she struggled to her 'seat, within the rail,-her tumultuous bonnet shimmering gayly in the grim plabe. ,. ���', ' Big Sandler made-a significant, grimace when he saw the widow come^in, ���nd Old Curry before her making a path., As for Martin Curry, he had no stomach for the,business from that moment, though a high -"rebellion of pattered pride remained v with ��� him' to the end. The justices had no disposition to hurry matters. The mere., situation, quite without regard to the details, was too entertaining. Martin OuTry'knew this so well;that h��* became nervously eager to finish the'affair before it had begun, andjhe was as curt in his examination of big Sandler a3 'if that large person had been ��. hostile witness. ��� Moreover, he was sure of, his case. The -ruling of the examining justice had fortified him. Detention was larceny. There was the end of the matter. He had-an angry pity for the old man, who must come to the end of, his rope before lorvg. ' . ,..,-',_ Sandler told tho simple story -of (the' mule; of its puichase from Kells; -of 111* iater "finding of the t animal in Kells'.i Btable near ske Bend;'of his demand���*for the delivcry'of the mule,'a demand made in peaceable terms;- of Kells's outrageous "strike" -for money, nnd hist own indignant refusal to pay the same; of Kells'e criminal wtthnolding of the mule to the present hoar. r Old Curry arose in'grcat pomp for the' cro3s-exam"nation.< He was as -little-in , haste as t"he court itself. ��� Yet 'iii1* ques- 'tions were few. Sandler admitted hi& ignorance of the -precise manner in which the mule,came to" be in Kells's stable. He admitted 'tSiat Kells's demand * for money was in the form of p. T)ill for feed. Bat the price���two" dollars���was ���exsrbitant and ridiculous. < y see the mule, in KclU's Imadam?" Presently Slote, whose mustache wa; idyed a sinister' bluteh black,, called "John Kells." ��� Four men stepped to the bar; KelL- a short, thick-set, alert man, with an ef-, feet of'restrained pugnacity; 'the elders Sandier, "or ,1 wouldn't Testified to recognizing the mule thei ��� detained as the mule Sandlerhad ownc** for fivo days."

' { "I���I see," said Slote, with signs 01 pot'being at all clear. "On opposite pidea." He had known the Currys lot .'twenty years, and the situation natur 'ally struck him as peculiar. He lndi ',cated by his later manner that it alaf struck aim as amusing. In the matter of Old Curry's motion, he remarked thai it was denied. The New Code distinctly characterized such detention as lar 'ceny. Old Curry shrugged his lofty ehoul dera, and seemed about to speak, when Slote pushed forward an open copy oi the Code, decorated with crosses, inde* fingers, and other marginal aids. . The old lawyer, without looking at thi Oook or at his son, remarked casually "f understand there is some doubt as tc the value of this mule." "There ain't no doubt about It," broke in Sandler; but young Curry, subduing his client, very deliberately moved iu amend the complaint so that.it might read "twenty-four dollars," and Old Curry grinned under his bristles. ' The change made the oharge one ol petty larceny, and sent the case to Special Sessions instp'td of to the Grand iiim." ' 1 \ "He wore a cheerful appearance?" ,' "I <&unno.

Martin was on his feet expostulating ���'If vour Honors please, are we to hi insulted? I submit that the question L grossly irrelevant."
