She glanced at the signs on the doors and seem- ed unable to come to a decision. Her pale face wore a troubled expression. A frown darkened Jer forehead. She was a slender girl, with dark hair and eyes and her quiet gown and hat were tasteful and becoming. That was the opinion, at least, of the elderly man who was sitting at a table in one of the offices when she paused at the open door and looked in. Hp was an elderly man of middle height, a little inclined to stoutness, a man with thick gray hair and short gray moustache, and his expression was a delightfully friendly one. It was this characteristic expres sion that attracted 1 attention of the girl. She paused timidly for a moment and then came into the room a little way, and when she saw the man was alone she spoke. “Sir,” she asked, “are you yer? His pleasant smile deepened. “It is a curious fact,” he said, “that 1 bave never been asked that ques tion before.” His voice was deep and pleasant, too. “If you know our profession, young lady, not expect a direct answer. Will it suf fice you if 1 say that I have been a member of the bar of this try for forty years?” She hesitated and her bled. ‘1 want to consult vorce.” He was a little startled at this re ply and glanced at his watch again “Very serious of course. Haven't you anybody to advise you?” “No, I'm a Chicago girl. friends live there” “Yes. Then you haven't of going home to mother?” "No. I'd be ashamed to do that’ “Good. Mother thinks you are happy, of course? “Yeon” “And father?” “Father didn't want a—a New Yorker Ii he knew 1 was uvhappy he woull come here and take me away and make a dread ful scene.” “No nonsense about father, eh? And what do you propose to do at ter—after you get the divorce? She gave a little shulder. “Father sends me an acllowancs and I think T would like 19 find something to do—something to make me feel in dependent.” “Den’t you expect to azk for all mony?” “No, no,” cried the g's. “1 don't want it—I don't want anything that belongs to Jim.” ‘A very proper spirit,” sald the oid man, with a queer little twinkle in his eyes. “And how old is Jim?" “Twenty-seven on the seventh of June. He is five years older than I am.” “Still young enough to cling to his boyish follies, eh? A lively young rounder—Ilate suppers and lots of red ligeor, no doubt.” “No, no,” said the girl “Jim isn't lke that”, “Never goes anywhere, eh? Al ways moping at home and refusing to take you anywhere.” “No,” said the girl. “Jim always took me wherever 1 wanted to go.” “Close with his money, perhaps. Forever grumbling about the house hold expenses?” The girl opened her eyes very wide. “Jim never did that. Why, I've al ways saved part of the money he allowed me. He never grumbled about it” “He had an ungovernable temper, then? Struck you, perhaps? , The girl's face turned white, “Struck me! that!” “There, there,” sald the old man. "Of course he couldn't. Then I'll have to conclude that he's a married flirt. Very fond of the ladies, isn't ¥ ae a law. you will coun- voice trem you about a di All my thought me to marry quickly. A dul red cheeks. “No,” she sald In a low volce: ? “Now, my dear,” sald the old man, “fet me hear about. the material on which you expect to base your charges. You and Jim quarreled?” “Dreadfully,” replied the girl with a shudder, “And what was it all about?” “I don’t remember how it started,” said the girl. “It was something quite silly, I think. Jim was very cross when he came home, and— and he found fault with the biscuits and they were not very good, but Jim had no right to speak so sarcastically about them-—and I had a headache and wasn't a bit well—and Mary had threatened to leave—and | hadn't heard from mother, and I was afraid she was sick—and—" The old man checked the torrent with an uplifted hand. “Wait,” he hastily sald, “that's all right as an example of rapid enun- clation, but as a basis for divorce charges it is very weak. Did Jim throw the butter dish at you, and follow it up with the cream jug?” The girl stared at him. “Why, Jim wouldn't do that,” she sald, Jim's a gentleman.” “He might have been a little more courteous in his references to a lady's biscuits,” said the old man. “But we will let that pass. What did he do?” “He sald some very cruel things” replied the girl as she choked back Surged into the girl's “Al untrue, of course?” “Every one of them.” “What did he say?” “I--1 can't remember.’ “But it is necessary to remember. What did he call you? “Me! He didn't call me anything” “Didn't he say cruel things about you?" “Noo o. Chicago.” “Chicago!” “Yes. He sald the meanest you ever heard.” The old. man drew a-quick breath. “And, of course, you retaliated by saying still meaner things about New York? “No, 1 “1 know He said them about things girl returned. so little about New York 1 coukin’t think of anything to say.” “That's true.” "He looked at her keenly. “Of course nothing will sat-) isfy you except a divorce?” She gave a little start and od her black eves very wide. “Why, what « can 1 have?” His voice was grave. “Jim's love.” The tears filled her eyes, didn't,” the open 1a ise she tco late for that” half “Jim's gone to see his law- “It's sobbed. yer?” The old man looked at his watch. “That reminds me. Who Is Jim's lawyer?” “His name Paulding.” “Eh!” “Why, 1 through twelve o'clock.” Then he turned is Paulding, Jasper the old gign as And it's man.

The other was a young man, good look. ing, tall and muscular “There are occasions,” sald the old man, “when it seems justifiable to de viate from established rules. This Is cne of them.” He looked hard at the young man. “I have heard your wife's sad story,” he gravely said. And deapite the gravity of his c¢ne the young man almost believed he saw a twinkle in the keen old eyes, hall the “1 feel quite sure.” he said, “that my wife didn't paint me darker than I deserved to Le painted.

WIll you trust your client with me, Mr. Paulding?” “Certainly, general” cried the law yer. “He couldn't be in better handa, Goodbye, sir, and a safe voyage.” A moment later the two men stood before the library door. “Your wife is in there, Jim Rob: bing,” said the old man softly, “and she's much too dear a wife and too sweet a girl to be lost through foolish pride. Do you understand?’ “Yes, sir,” the young man answered, “I begin to understand.” They shook hands and then the young man quickly opened the door and as quickly closed it behind him, The old man nodded and gently smiled. Then he loked at his watch and with a sudden exclamation left the room. Five minutes later a puzzied look crossed the young wife's face. “How did you know 1 was here, Jim 7” “Your lawyer told me” The young wife clapped her hands. “Isn't he the dear old man,” she etied."
