foe of Whose grandmothers was a gypsy,
and his daughter, Gertrude, spend their
ummer traveling about England In a car
e.van of three coaches, fitted up a sleep
ing and cooking apartments. Their win
ters they spend at the fashionable resorts
on the continent. One day, when the cara
van is drawn up at the roadside, Gertrude
expresses her discontent with their rov
ing life. Her father, on questioning her,
discovers that aha has been won over to
conventionality by Perclval Foxwell,
whose father, a rich soapboiler, has pur
chased a handsome estate near which
they are camped. Gertrude had climbed a
tree to get a flower, hud been cutiKht by
tier dress, and rescued by. young Foxwell;
who had lectured- her on propriety. She
has become greatly interested in him, and
resent her father's suggestion that she
ought to marry her cousin Arohdale, who
Is in love with her. So her father decides
to ask Foxwell to dlue with them, .
i ' . PART II. ,
Perclval Foxwell accepted the Invi
tation to dinner, i ' :
"The girt la most superior, " he said
to himself, "but the father. I expect, is
of a different stamp. One so often sees
that sort of thing nowadays, super
ficial refinement in the second genera
tion, the gift of the board schools, cov
ering Innate commonness of mind, the
gift of the parents." . Mr. Foxwell had
conveniently forgotten the existence of
hi father, the worthy soap-boiler.
Whose strident tones, innocent alike of
aspirate or grammar, were even then
acholng through the stables at Mel
drum hall.
"Well, my man. how ore you?" Fox
well asked, patronizingly, as he clam
bered up the step Into the caravan,
Ml am very pleased to dine with you,
very pleased. I suppose, though, you
call It supper when you ore by your
selves." Philip Seccombe frowned, then said,
humbly: "It is very kind of you, sir,
to honor us. My daughter told me how
Interested you were In our caravan,
and I thought you might care to see
how we lived, so I presumed to ask"
"Oh, that is all right, my good fel
low," Foxwell answered.
At this moment Gertrude entered.
With a start of surprise she noted that
her father was wearing a red flannel
shirt with no collar, that a coarse
brown cloth was spread upon the table,
and that. In place of the usual candles,
a flaring paraffin hanging; on the wall
was making the atmosphere nauseous
and unbearable. One glance at Sec
combe' face gave the explanation. He
waa posing as a vagabound Indeed.
Mr. Foxwell took a seat at the table
uninvited, his air of aggressive patron
age growing more pionounred. Sec
combe saw Gertrude's involuntary in
dirnallon. and smiled to himself. The
"HANG IT ALL, DO YOU WANT TO
POISON ME?"
plates were chipped and cracked, the
spoons and forks had long ago lost
any plating they might have possessed;
thick mugs took the place or glasses,
and as Gertrude looked vainly for a
serviette, she noticed that all traces of
comfort had been removed from the
coach, leaving its match-boarding bare
and ugly.
"I don't believe In the use of animals
for food, sir," Seccombe said, apolo
getlcally, as Jarvis entered with the
.soup, "and my daughter who shares
my opinions and I live entirely upon
a vegetarian diet."
"Your daughter, at least, seems to
thrive upon it." answered Foxwell, with
sickly gallantry, looking at Gertrude,
who moved uneasily in her chair, see
ing clearly that her father's comedy
had already gone too far to be stopped
oy any protest on iier part.
Jarvis- set down the soud: trembling.
Gertrude raised the first spoonful to her
lips. It was like greasy pink water,

done duty in countless previous soups,
wmcn was almost overpowered by a
dash of tartaric acid.
"This Is tomato soup, sir,"- said Sec
combe. "I hope you like it."
"Pah!" said Foxwell, "It is disgust
ing." A haricot and tomato nie followed.
and again the strong taste of tartaric
acid contracted Gertrude's throat and
filled her eyes with water; the paste
.was like plaster of parls. -"This
was made on thoroughly hy-

said Seccombe; "no fat, only flour and
cocoanut butter," as he finished his pie

Foxwell exclaimed, angrily, vainly
trying to break the crust upon his
plate. His fork sliPDed. and nlate anil

shouted, glaring at Seccombe, who
smiled blandly. Gertrude's eyes were

In a vsterv custard, brought forth a
string of uncomplimentary observa
tions upon vegetarianism In general,
and the meal in particular, from the
Seccombe- guest, whose face, how
ever, cleared when the stolid Jarvis ap
peared with a dish or stewed cranoer
ries. "Ah!" he cried, "something one
can eat. at last!."
Jarvis' expression as he piacea a
small glass dish containing a white
liquid in front of roxweu auracieu
Gertrude's attention. It was so preter-
naturally stolid, and that, witn a
glance of intelligence between master
and man, caused her to wonder to
what lengths the farce wa9 to be car
ried. "Ah! cream : very good," said Fox
well, helping himself liberally from the
illuh liefnra him Hnil then DUshing it
over to Gertrude.'Vxcellent with stewed
fruit."
A burning pang shot through Fox
well's mouth and throat at the first
mouthful.
"Han?r It all, man, do you want to poi
son me?" he cried, jumping up with
such suddenness thut he upset the
chulr, the tears running down his
cheeks. . .
Gertrude rose, too, an angry tlusn
upon her face, but sat down aguln at an
imperative gesture from tier rainer.
'Horseradish Is good for the oioou.
said Seccombe,-quietly.
Yes," echoed Gertrude; "tinrserau-
Ish Is good for the blood." And, Ignor
ing Foxwell, she walked out of the van.
. An awkward silence followed, which
after a few minutes, wus broken by
Jarvis.
"Lady Gertrude would be glad If
you would go to her,' my lord," he said
to Seccombe. "She Is la her coacn.
Seccombe frowned, and glanced ap
prehensively at Foxwell as he left the
table. Five minutes later Jarvis re
turned, savins; ."Lord ' Ambei'thorpe
and Lady Gertrude Seccombe will be
much obliged if Sir. Foxwell win ex
cuse them."
Foxwell's jaw : fell. There was no
need to question Jarvis. 'whose stolid
ity had given place to a triumphant
arln. All the world knew of the ec
centric Lord Amberthorpe and his
daughter, who lived in a caravan and
pretended to forget their titles; and he,
Perclval Foxwell, had openly scoffed at
the father, had patronized the daugh
ter, and, to complete his fatuousness,
had as ooeulv sworn at their food.
Visions of what might huve been had
he only heard their name flushed across
his agitated mind; but the situation
was impossible, and, seizing nis nat,
the scion of the soap-boiler withdrew
with as much dignity us he could mus
ter under Jarvis expression of con
tempt uous amusement.
"I am sorry to have been obliged to
shatter your Ideal so ruthlessly,
Gertrude," Lord Amberthorpe said
next morning to his daughter, "but I
have heard of the young man, and
thought prompt measures necessary.
I can only hope that the strong medl
cine has cured you of uny wish to be
merely mediocre, and to be hedged in
by the thousand restrictions such a
man as Foxwell ordains for women
of his own class."
'Yes: I am quite cured, thank you."
Lady Gertrude answered. "The anon
tie of respectability behaved abomina
bly."
That day Lord Amberthorpe wrote
to his nephew. Lord Archdale:
"Gertrude was suddenly smitten with an
unusual disease a week ago. fervently de
siring to spend the rest of her existence
In the most approved suburban manner.
A drastic cure has been effected, and If
you are wise you will come down at once
and catch her on the rebound.
Some years later Lady Archdale con
fessed to her father that she had found
that a man possessed of right instincts
and no theories made a most admirable
husband.

Some Tales Told
Outside of Court.
CAUGHT THE JUROR.
Dr. Itobert D. Hheppard, business ngent
of the Northwestern university,, relates a
story of how he once won a lawsuit which
Illustrates the manner In which lawyers
sometimes adapt themselves' - to their
juries.
"There was no Question." said Dr. 8heD'
pard, "but that I was In the right of the
case. The evidence was conclusive, the
law was on my side, and when my at
torney arose to make his opening address
he thought he had the case won. He
briefly reviewed the evidence, stated the
law in the case, and was about to close
his argument when he noticed that one of
the jurors, a stolid old farmer, did not
seem to be with him. The other eleven
men had already decided the case in their
own minds, but the farmer had a sluggish,
set expression on his countenance which
boded no good for me or my case. Again

but no impression, was made. The same
stolid expression still occupied the man's
face, and he seemed as little likely to be
moved as the court house In which tho
trial was taking place. The attorney tried
all kinds of arguments, and finally, when
he was about giving up in despair, a happy
thought struck him. He repeated again
the bare facts, and when he came to a
place where the person opposing me had
made an egregious error In judgment, he
leaned over to the old farmer and said:
" 'And Iwant to tell you. my friend, that
there s where he dropped his wpter
melon.' "The old farmer's face lighted up, and
from that moment the case was won. The
jury was out less than Ave minutes, and
brought back a verdict (for all that I bad

HALSTEAD ANSWERED.
"The best retort that Murat Halstead
ever received,"- Is said by the Collector
and Commercial Lawyer, of Detroit, to
have been the one which It describes as
follows:
"The old law firm of Goldsmith, Col
ston, Hoadley & Johnson was one of Mr
Halstead's pet subjects for sarcasm, po
Utcally and otherwise. He caught up a
phrase which was attributed to the junior
partner of the Arm, Mr. Johnson, and
after calling him a 'shining ornament of
the Clnctnnuti bar' for some time, the
brilliant Mr. Halstead went further and
publicly dubbed Mr. Johnson 'the brass
ornament of the Cincinnati bar.' This
phrase was so attractive to Mr. Halstead
that he never hesitated to use it in every
possioie way. nuisieaa s uuy or reckon

"At an evening gathering. Mr. Hal

charms of the fair sex, saw a handsome

HE COULDN'T SAY.
E. B. Green, of Ottumwa, la., tells a
good story to the Washington Hi up ni.mit
Judge Hendershott, of that city, one of the
leading lawyers or ne nawgeye state,
"Judge Hendershott," said Mr, Ureen
was trying a esse under the prohibition
law. An important question was raised as
to whether or not a barret of whisky was
etellvered to the defendant.
'An Irishman by the name of O'Connor
was the drayman, and when Judge Hen
dershott started to cross-examine oim
concluded to frighten him into contradict
ing his testimony on the examlnation-in-
chier. Assuming a anmiw pose, ana
with a stern voice, he said: 'Remember,
sir, you are on your oath. Remember, you
have sworn 10 ten tne trutn. tne wnoie
truth, and nothing but the truth. Remem
ber, that to deviate one iota from the
truth is perjury, and the punishment for

Mr. Duffy's place. On one Ind of tha bar'!
was marked "Pat Duiry." on the it her ina
was marked "whisky." but bein' on me
oath, I couldn't say whether Pat Duffy or
whisky was in the bar'l.'
' The defendant was convicted."
JUDGMENT ON THE LAWYERS.
Judge Daniels, of Buffalo, who served
twentv-eight years on the New York Su
preme bench before coming to congress.
relates an Incident which forcibly Illus
trates the curious methods by which peo
ple occasionally reach conclusions. .
Home years ago a man namea uroenneii,
living In New York state, killed his wife.
He was convicted at the first trial, but the
case was carried to the court of appeal,
which reversed the finding of the lower
court. Governor Robinson then ordered a
special rehearing to be held at Syracuse.
Judge Daniels presided. When an exam
ination or the Jurors began a curious cir
cumstance occurred. One of the Jurors
declared that he had ulready prejudiced
the case. He was asked it he had read
he printed accounts In the newspapers.
He had not. Neither, he said, had he
talked with anyone about It. He was no.
cordlngly excused. Judge Daniels, how
ever, was not so easily sallslled. His curi
osity was piqued, and he sent the sherilf
before the man left the court room to
ascertain how he could reach a conclusion
in a case when he had never read up on
It or discussed it.
"Why." he replied, "the lawyers made
such blamed fools of themselves examin
ing the Jurors that I knew the prisoner
must be guilty."
WHEN TO STOP PAYMENTS.
There was a civil action in the English
law courts some time ago, mainly con
cerning some money matters. The plain-
tin stated cainuy in the witness uox mat
his financial position had always been
satisfactory.
Counsel for the other side rose with a
truly portentous air, and inquired if lie
had ever become bankrupt.
Plaintiff said he had not.
"Prav be careful, sir. Remember, you
are on oath. Do you meun to tell the
court you have never stopped payment .
"Well," was the reply, -now that you
come to call it to my mind, 1 believe I did
on one occasion."
"Ah! 1 thought we should arrive at It
presently," and the counsel took a I0114
draught or water, in an impressive ana
theatrical way. "Now, sir, when did that
happen'.'"
"After 1 had paid all my debts," wai
the ct'Uahlhg reply.
The court fairly shrieked with laughter
and the Judge laughed, too, while the
usher was so stricken with merriment
that he was far from restoring order.
A COXVHXTION ILLUSTRATION.
On one occasion Sir Frank Lockwood
was defending a, man In Yorkshire who
was accused 01 steullng cattle, or
"beasts," to use the nurth country term.
One witness for the prosecution declured
he beheld the whole trunsui'tlon from
afar.
"Now. mv man." auolh Mr. LoikwooJ
severely, "you must be extremely tureful
In your statements. You suy you wutched
this atialr tor some time. Tell me, now,
bow fur can you see a beast to really
know lis points'.'"
"Just as far off as t am from you, mas
ter," replied the yokel, eurnestly. And
the great Q. V. subsided.
THE SAME CA8E.
"A well-known gentleman of tills coun
ty, who some years ago lived In the coun
try a short distance south of town, was
In the habit of coming to town every week
or so, and 'getting on the town.' On one
of his visits he became ruthep more dem
onstrative than usual, and was taken be
fore the police Judge, where the custo
mary l and costs was given him. The
next day he was still in town, and wns
still 'loaded.' He was again arraigned DC
fore the bar of justice to answer the
charge of drunkenness. The witness for
the prosecution were sworn and gave in
their evidence, and everything pointed to
a sure conviction. When the common
wealth was through the defendant wus
asked If he had anything to say. Ho
arose, slowly, steadied himself on the
back of his chair, and said, In substance.?,
that he had read somewhere that a man's
life could not twice be placed in leopanly
for the same offense. He maintained that
this drunk was the same one on which
he was convicted the day before, there
fore he moved for a dismissal. It is said
the Judge sustalned the motion."
THE RULING SPIRIT STRONG.
The prosecuting attorney of a north
JItsHourl county una a young attorney
noted for his persistence were recently
irvlns the nrellmlnarv hearing of a crim
inal case before a Justice of the peace. The
vniinf attorney asked manv Irrelevant
and Incompetent questions, and when the
prosecuting attorney would oDject wouiu
always say:
"Your Honor, before you pass on that
oblectlon 1 want to argue It.
Finally the young man asked the same
question the seventh time against the
prosecuting attorney s oojecuon, wnn
the iprosecutor, losing his patience, said
In a loud aside:
" , are you never going to get over
being a confounded fool?"
Whereupon the young fellow jumped up
with his usual remark:
"Your Honor, before you pass on that I
want to argue It.

INTERRUPTION BY THE COURT.
Lord Chief Justice Erie was prone to
interrupt counsel when it was found that
the judges had already made up their
minds against mm. un one occasion air,
Bovlll. U. C. soon afterward made a
judge, was stopped with: "Here we stand,
we four men. and we have all firmly (em
phasizing the adverb) made up our minds
that there must be a new trial; but If
you think it worth your while going on
after that (playfully), why of course we'll
keep on hearing you.". Whereupon the
y. c. laugningiy sat aown.
. On another occasion he again Inter.
rupted with "I beg to Inform the counsel
there is a time in the mind of every man
at which he lets down the flood-gates of
his understanding, and allows not -one
more drop to enter, and that time in my
mind has runy arrived.
PATERNAL ADVICE REMEMBERED.
The writer was present in court when
the following amusing passage took place
between counsel and witness in a uis
Duted will case:
"Did your father give you no parting
admonition;
"He never gave much away at any
time."
"I mean to suy, what were his lust
words?"
"Thev don't consarn you."
"They not only concern me, sir," re
marked the barrister, severely, -out tney
concern the whole court."
"Oh, all right!" was the reply. "Father
said: "Don t nave no trouble wnen 1 m
gone, Jim, 'cos lawyers Is the biggest
thieves unhung."
"WHAT HE COULDN'T TEACH. .
"I can teach you law, sir, but I cannot
teach you manners," said an exasperated
counsel to a small, meek witness.
The latter replied quietly: "That Is so,
sir," anil people laugneu consumeuiy.
