A Lawyers Lost Case. BY ANASTASIA. Q Boe} Mr. Frederic Gunning glanced at the clock on his office wall. Miss Antoin- ette Carroll had written that she would call at three o'clock and it now lacked fifteen minutes to the appointed time. There was a looking-glass hanging under the clock, and from his po- sition at his desk he could see his own reflection. Today he consulted the mirror frequently, and seemed well satisfied with what he saw. He strok- ed his brown mustache affectionately, and his expression became animated, and even gay. “Egad, Freddy,” he said to himself, “you are looking well today! You ought to make a strong impression on ] the prima donna.” He was thirty years old, a lawyer, and unmarried, and in spite of a few unreliable traits of character, he was a favorite with women. Women have learned by experience that they may not expect perfection in men. If Gun- ning was vain, he was forgiven be- cause he was no more sO than.magry uglier men. He had known Antoinette Carroll in a country village where he had passed a summer, and where she had lived nearly all her life. Since then she had become a popular singer in light opera. Guaning had the usual interest felt by men for women who succeed, but he thought lightly of Miss Carroll's profession. He believed that none of the girls on the stage ever did succeed without the assistance of some male friend, who secured for them engage- ments and fine feathers. Gunning~had Jearned some of the vernacular of the greenroom and called these gentlemen “mgcels’’ and he had a deep-rooted contection that none of them led heav- enly lives, or were disinterested in their favors. Miss Carroll had written that she wished to consult him on a matter of business, and he wondered if she had a breach of promise case on hand, or if he was to hear the details of an unsuspected and flimsy marriage con- tract. When she arrived she appeared to him even prettier than when he had met Ler in the country, and her “style” was unmistakably better. He received her effusively, and with more fapiliar- ity of manner than he would have in- dulged had her profession been differ- ent. He even called her ‘“Antoipette” —a libewty which their acquaintance scarcely justified, and while she did, not verbally rebuke him, she raisedgher eyebrows after a fashion that nettled him. He said te himself that this girl, who had recently risen from the ranks of the chorus, was putting on unnecessary airs. She stated briefly that she wanted to sue her manager because he had failed to pay her salary, and was soon tc leave the country. Gunning. assured her that he would look after her inter- ests with the devotion and faithfulness of a lifelong friend; then he refused Jher proffered retainer, and the inter- view was over. After that he fell into the habit of visiting her, and posed as her bene- factor. He showered bouquets upon her, and began a suit in her behaif against her manager. She cons Gunning about most of her afl and he greatly enjoyed the held of adviser to this capti man. “ _ He would have enjoyed it more if she had not occasionally much shrewdness that quite able to take care of her : ar he was rendered uncomfortable at times because he rarely She had many vi them was Rodman Greg ry He was a native of the “village and which she had been reared, and was I a millionaire. He was fifty years old ~—3a taciturn man, who w ly in spite of his wealth, and who en- joyed Antoinette’s society and her singing, although he did not know on= tune from another. It annoyed Fred to find him in the prima donna’s sitting tion with grace if the man had not been so inordinately rich. “I don’t like the old chap,” he said to Antoinette. “He sits about here and looks at you, but he doesn’t do a thing for you. Why doesn’t he send you a present occasionally, or help you to rise in your profession? A million- aire can do a lot of things to help his friends without much sacrifice to him- pelf.” «I am doing very well,” she said. “I don’t like to be under personal obliga- tions. It even disturbs me tQ know that you are being troubled with my law business.” “You need not think of that,” he show your manager that he can’t impose on my Iittle friend without coming in contact with me. I couldn't take any payment from you; but if you wished to do me a favor that is worth more to me than money, you could probably do it.” «How could I benefit you?” She was looking at him so shrewdly pow that she embarrassed him. «I am doing well in my profession, rather lone- | © room, and he | would scarcely have borne the inflic- | | of being the object of hi ing that is always too,” he sald, with an attempt at care- less speech; “but my wants are num- erous, and they are my children crying aloud for money. Gregory could stop their mouths and make me rich. He controls a huge corporation that is be- ing constantly attacked by smaller ones. The litigations against it are al- most countless, and are such heavy ones that a lawyer's fortune would pe made if he could represent the gréat company. I would not ask for any greater advertisement than to be con- nected with one of those famous law- suits.’ “Well?” the 2 sald, still waiting for him to put his wish into words. “If you: choose to ask -Gregory to give me a big case, he might do if. You are a diplomat, and wealthy men are proud t6 be, the friends of women who_are on the stage. He tould-make me rich without stirring from- his office chair,” She knew that ‘he expécted her to make the suggested effort in his be- half, and she went to the financier’'s office for that purpose. Gregory was seated in the center of: the room, where he appeared more at his ease than in the singer's little room. An- toinette knew considerable about’ the silent man’s strong per ynality, and admired him ‘greatly here, where he controlled millions of dollars, and held a giant corporation .under his direc- tion. . “Why are you so much interested in this young man’s success?’ he asked, when she had stated her errand. She colored slightly under his keen eyes, but answered, readily: ‘He has taken my case without com- pensation. He is clever, and I want him to: rave a chance of success.” “Is his kindness disinterested? Is he not fond of you?” “He is not fond of me. He would not think of marrying a woman who is on the stage: He does not know .it, but at heart he is an aristocrat, although he 1s an obliging one. I would be glad if'I cdbuld rid myself of all obligations to him, even if by so doing I must: transfer it to you.” Gregory was flattered. “If he deserves it, I will give him an important case,” he said. “I will judge of his ability by the way he con- ducts yours. When that has been set- tled I will decide what I shall do.” “Mine will not be a fair test,” she said; “for he will do i for friendship, not for money.” “Tt will be the best possible test,” he contradicted. “A man who would ne- glect his friend's interests could be trusted with nothing.” She had to be content with that. Af- terward she told Gunning that the fin- ancier had given her no definite an- swer, but what she believed she had been successful. * * * * Later he grew restless, beeause he heard no more of the prospective case and urged her to jog the millionaires memory onthe: subject; but she de- clined to do so. “It will do no she said. “When he is ready, send for you.” _ She observed thet Fred talked wery little about her own lawsuit now, an 5 interest in it appeared to hav Still, she did not tell re apartant it had become to him it he should win it good to worry him,” he will ed to large audi- S aceus #8 and to the publicity to which r profe n subjected her, yet she aded the court rcom.

His office boy was waiting for her with a letter, w h she hurricdly read, as follows: “Don’t be angry, ourt this morning. for yours is the first case on the cal- endar.

She stood for a moment looking threugh the open door of the courtroom. She observed but I cannot be in I am very sorry, that there was not a woman there, and the crowd within seemed frowsy, dirty and altogether vulgar. Some of the men stared at her impudently, and the place and people disgusted her. “] can’t go into that horrid room alone,” she said to the boy; “you may tell Mr. Gunning that my case will be dismissed because I have no one to represent me. I have treated him bet- ter than he has me.” Gunning had to wait in the million- aire’s outer office for nearly an hour before he was admitted to his pres- ence. He was greatly surprised when Mr. Gregory opened the conver sation about Miss Carroll's lawsuit. ° “I thought I would learn from you exactly how it is progressing,” he said; “I am desirous that all -her .wrongs shall be righted, and she assures me that you are very much her friend.” sunning fidgeted uneasily in his chair. “Her case has’'nt been tried yet,” he said. “It will be a shame, if she loses it, and the-money she has earned,” Greg- ory continued. “A woman who makes a.fight to support herself deserves to have her interests protected.” Gunning assured the gentleman that he was of the same opinion. In real- ity, the young man was at his wits’ end to know how to escape from an awkward situation.” If Miss Carroll had been assigned counsel, and .the trial was now in progress, it was pos- sible that he might join her: in time to be of service. It would never do to have her tell Mr. Gregory that her lawyer abandoned her. : “Miss Carroll’s case will be on to- day,” he said, with some desperation, “and I must hurry back to her. I would not have left her for anyone hut you, Mr. Gregory. I understood that you had some important business for me, and I was desirous of serving you.” “I told Miss Carroll that 1 would help you to make your fortune if you conducted her business satisfactorily.” Gunning’s face was crimson and full of perplexity. He was saying to him- self: “What does he mean? Is it possible the old fox sent for me just to see if I would leave her in the lurch?” To Gregory he said: “I will do my best for my client, you may: be sure. I need no incentive but my desire for her good.” He bowed himself out as scon as possible, and rushed over to the court- house, hoping that he might still be in time to plead her case. He was furi- ously angry because Antoinette had failed to tell him how important it was to his personal interests. He came into court, breathless and per- spiring, only to learn that he was too late. The case had been dismissed through his failure to prosecute it. He decided to go to the house and urge her to help him out of what h® designated as “a confounded hole®’ He came into her room, looking wor- ried and dejected, and found Rodman Gregory there before him. He was sus- picious that the latter had ‘played him a trick, and his manner had none of the marked courtesy that had pre- viously characterized it. Gregory opened the conversation while they waited for Miss Carroll to appear. “I took up considerable of your time this morning,” -he said; “and I real- ize that I am indebted to you. I was, unwilling to have Antoinette figure in a suit of law, and by your attention to me and: your astonishing disregard of her interests you aided me in keep- ing her out of court.” Gunning’s blood was up, and he spoke with reckiess disregard of con- sequences: “You appear to have taken unwar- rantable interest in my affairs. I am not aware that I have any business that concerns you.” “Then you never will have any,” Gregory retorted. “Perhaps you had better curb your temper, and hear what I have to say. You did me the favor of coming to my office when I sent for you, but you did so at the ex- pense of the woman who has promised to be my wife. She thought you could not he attracted away from her cause; but I believed you were fonder of money than of anything ‘else under heaven, and I judged you more cor- y than she did.” Gunning would have broken into violent invectives then if he had not been restrained by a certain flinty ex- pression about Gregory's nouth, which boded ill if the. interview con- tinued. Still, he asked'a question: “Were you in earnest when you said that Miss Carroll intends to marry rec “You cannot consider me capable of jesting on such a subject! It was her sire to pay for her trousseau with the money she had earned by her pro- on. I will marry hér without the trousseaun.” Whereupon Gunning left the house in profound disgust. “I hate these professionals,’” he said to himself. “They are so confoundedly calculating and clever. Who would have supposed that Antoinette would have thought of marrying old Grez- ory, or that she would have stooped to recover recover a few dollars in courtewhen she was about to marry a millionaire? She was very pretty, | though”—he half regarded her as though she were deceased—‘“and she looked unsophisticated and good. Who would have supposed she was setting her trap for such enormous game? I must have been hard hit to feel this so ‘keenly,’ he continued. “If 1 had won her case, I would have had her xratitude for life, and Gregory would have made me rich. It would have been great luck, so far as it went; but, after all, I never could have won the woman.”—New York Weekly.

C. E: JEFFERSON. Subject: Wanted: A New Visien ef God. New York City. — In the famous Broadway Tabernacle the pastor, the Rev. Charles Edward Jefferson, D. D., on Sunday preached the following ser- mon entitled, “Wanted: A New Vision of God:” The great word on the lips of the coming preacher will be “God.” The name which is above every name has been too much neglected in these re- cent years, even by the men anointed to proclaim it. There have been reasons for this neg- lect. The evolutionary philosophy awakened a new and thrilling interest in man. Whence he came, how he started, what have been the processes of his climbing, these are the questious which have bewitched and absorbed us all. The phenomenal achievements of the last half century have worked to- ward the same result. Never has man beer so wonderful as now, never has he done such mighty deeds. He is a miracle worker who says each evening, “I will do greater things to-morrow.” His prowess, cunning and mastery are astounding, and to chant his praises has been our pastime and delight. The miseries of man have also con- spired to fix qur- attention on him. He has come from tne country to the city and he is in trouble. He has become the victim of all sorts of economic and social forces, which have left him lying bleeding and half dead by the side of the road along which the strong have driven furiously to wealth and power. To lift the man who is down and place him on our beast and get him into the nearest inn is a prob- lem of vast dimensions, and has taken a deal of our thought and time. We have been caught in the com- plex of secondary causes, and have. lit- tle inclination to consider the Cause which underlies: them all: To many minds God's presence has become dim, His personality vague and doubtful. His holiness has been by many quite forgotten. In admiring or pitying the creature we have gotten our eyes oft the Creator. .Qur first duty is the step of the prodigal, “I will arise and go back to my father.” The prophet of the coming days is going to say in the words of one of old, “I have yet somewhat to say on God's behalf.” Man’s cause has been pleaded eloquently and long, and the time has arrived for the forthputting of the claims of God. Beginning at the earth always ends in Babel, be- ginning at the throne of God leads to Pentecost. - ; We are coming back to the old evan- gelism of the apostles. Wherever Paul went his message was, “We pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.” Simon Peter met the uproar in the streets of Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost with a great dec aration of God—*“1I will pour out of My spirit upon all flesh”; and from first to last it was upon what God had done in hortation to repentance. All deep-eyed men are seeing with increasing clearness that it is not by ecclesiattical might or political power, but by the cpirit of Jehovah that the mountains of iniquity are to be leveled and the rough places made smooth. The evangelism of the coming days will begin wih God. Three doctrines will be counted car- dinal. In the forefront will Be placed the sovereignity of God. If the Puri- tan passion has died out of our blood it is because the Puritan conception of God has faded out of our hearts. What we need to see to-day is a throne with God on it. Democracy has made havoc with our ideas of authority, and the result is a flabbiness of respon- sibility and a laxness of conduct, which unless counteracted, will lead to our ruin. The pessimism and hopeless- ness so prevalent to-day, even among professing, Christains are the direct result of a failure to grasp the funda- mental doctrine of God’s omnipotence. Along with the doctrine of God's sovereignity. will go the doctrine of His immangnce. It is an old doctrine couched in fresh phraseology and with new light shot through it by modern science. The doctrine is written large across the pages of Scripture, and in every land and time the saints have known that God dwells in the hearts of men. In Him we live and move and have our being, as the apostle long ago declared. And centuries be- fore Paul's day a Hebrew poet thrilled by the thought of God’s omnipotence wrote the 139th Psalm. That God is above all and through all, and in &ll, and that of Him and through Him and to Him are ali things is one of the commonplaces of the Bible; and whether we use the old phrase, “the indwelling -God,” or the phrase now most popular, “the imma- nent God,” the thought needs to be emphasized and wrought into the con- sciousness of the Christians of our day that God is in His world and dwells in special fulness in the hearts of those who love and serve Him. Nor will the holiness of God be for- gotten. The decadence of the sense of sin has been caused by the blur- ring of the doctrine of God’s holiness.. Holy Father ~--s the title by which Jesus knew God, and it is thus that we must. know Him if it is to be well with our souls. The forms in which retribution was often preached in pre- ceding generations were so grotesque and arbitrary that some of us have been ashamed to say it right out clear and strong, that God pun.shes men for (heir sins. In the coming day we are going to believe again that whatso- ever a man soveth that shali he also reap, that without holiness no man can see the Lord, that there is no peace unto the wicked, that the sbul that sin- neth dies in the act of its sinning, and that God is calling upon men every- where to repent. No man acqudinted with the teach- ing of the late science need be ashamed or afraid to preach the most rigorous doctrine of retribution. “You preachers do not tell men often enough that' every sin brings its inevitable punishment,” is a sentence spoken to me years ago by a physician. Behold the goodness and severity of God! This is the completing statement of the apostle, And the prophets who are re- deem the tweatietll century will let the sentence stand without abridgment. With cities rotting at our ddors and | revealed in Jesus Carist. the wail of the damned ringing in ¢ ears, and with an ancient crumbling to pieces before our eyes, it is not hard to believe that while God is ready always to forgive the penitent He will by no means spare the guilty. Behold your God! will be the stir- ring note of the coming message, and the only God who will stir the hearts of the people will be the God who is Christ is God manifest in the flesh. He is the express image of His father. Through Him the revelation of the Infinite heart has come. In seeing Him we see the Father. and we come to the Father only through Him. We do not see Christ as He is unless we see in Him the majesty and authority of a king. We have too much followed the idea of Goethe and Carlyle, that Christi- anity is a religion of sorrow, and that its chief end is that of consolation. This leads men like Mr. John Morley to call the gospel a ‘sovereign legend of pity,” and to long for a wider Gos- pel of justice and progress. Christianity is more than a legend of pity, it is a bugle blast calling men to battle. Jesus is more than the con- soler of people in trouble, He is the anointed King of men. He announces His Kingship again and again in His discourses, and it is as Lord and Mes- siah that Peter presents Him to His countrymen on the Day of Pentecost. To submit to Him unconditionally is man’s wisdom and peace. It is not the picture of the earthly Jesus with His hand upon a leper that this age needs most of all to see. We need to see the Son of God as John, the apostle, saw Him, with many crowns upon His head, the universal Sovereign of the kingdoms of life. God’s condescension will also be seen afresh in Christ. The great words spoken in the upper chamber will be restudied, and upon many hearts they will fall with the emancipating charm of a fresh revelation. “Ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me and 1 in you.” “If a man love Me he will keep My words, and My Father will love him, and we will conie unto him and make Our abode with him.” We do not know God as He is until we have seen. Him not only high and lifted up, sitting on a throne, but also as the apostle saw Him, standing as a suppliant, saying,“Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear My voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and:he with Me.” In” Christ also we see God's indig- nation. against sin. He is the holy Christ. Though merciful, He says to workers of iniquity—I never knew you. Though gracious, He says to trans- Sressors of God's "will—depart from Me ye cursed. Tender above all tender- ness known to mortals, He paints pie- tures of loss and pain and doom so terrible that they have burned them- selves into the retinas of men’s eyes and into the matter of their brains forever. Wherever His Gospel is preached men cannot go to the judg- ment saying, I did not know the hein- ousness nor the awful penalties of wrong-doing. With the Tractarian method of sev- enty years ago there began a fresh emphasis upon the authority and sae- raments of the Church. To-day it is the Church wkLich is still uppermost in many minds, and its -vorship, its unity and its government are counted all-important themes. With Maurice and Kingsley there be- gan a new interest in the social aspect of Christianity, and men began to la- bor for the establishment of what was called Christian Socialism. , This force has not yet speurt itself. But neither High Churchmen with their sacraments, nor social settlement workers with their philanthrdpies are equal to the crisis which is now upon us. It is not a loftier conception of the Church, nor a wider diffusion of cul- ture and social cheer which is most urgently demanded by our times. What is needed is a fresh vision of God, a new baptism of spiritual life, a lifting of the heart to higher levels of aspiration and devotion. The world groans and travails in pain, waiting for the appearance of a new race of prophets—men of insight and of cour- age, who endowned with the Holy Ghost shall say to our generation in tones which burn with fervent heat: “Le the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” — Congregationalist and Christian World. gray Happiness in Spite of Deprivations., If I am so happy in spite of my depri- vations, if happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so thoughtful that 3 becomes a philosophy of life, my mony to the creed of optimism is w oth hearing.

WHY EYESIGHT FAILS INFERIOR ARTIFICIAL LICHT FREe QUENTLY THE CAUSE. Illuminants of the Past, One and All, Have Serious Defects—Acetylene Gas, With Its Clear, Unwavering, Yet Soft Flame Cannot Hur! the Eyes. New York, June 20.—-No one can gO into our schools or meet a group of children on the street without noticing how large a number of them wear spectacles. The proportion seems to increase yearly, and there are many; more who ought to wear giasses. The experience of one teacher might be du- plicated by the score. She knew Alice was inattentive and she thought she was unusually stupid. = She said so to the principal and sent a note to the mother, requesting that the child De helped at home if she wished her to keep up with her class. One day, after. a blackboard explanation, the teacher called upon.the child and found that she had not seen what had been written. She was kept after school and by dint of much sympathetic ques- tioning Miss €. found that Alice had never been able to see what was put on the board and .that her head had ached so often and so hard that she. frequently failed to hear what was said. 3 Such a .condition may be caused by ¥lack of proper food, but in our Ameri can homes it is usually due to the poor quality of the artificial light. The yel- low, insufficient light of the ordinary; kerosene lamp, with its smoky chim= ney, is about as bad for the eyes as can be imagined. The flickering light! from a coal gas jet is but littie bettér, and even the electric light, brilliant as it usually is, has an unsteadiness due to variations in power, and a glare peculiarly trying to the delicate nerves of sight. The comparatively new il- luminant acetylene gas produces as nearly perfect an artificial light as has yet been found. It gives a clear white, unwavering light, very brilliant, yet perfectly soft, and so nearly like the rays of the sun that even colors ap- pear as in daylight. Fortunately, acetylene is very easily and cheaply produced, and the simple apparatus necessary can be purchased and installed in any home at. a very; moderate cost, and the acetylene can be piped to convenient points in the house where a light is needed. It is then lighted and extinguished and used exactly like common city gas. ’ Acetylene is rapidly coming into common use in homes, churches, schools and institutions of all kinds, and it is reasonable to expect that as its use in the home increases, there will be fewer defective eyes, particu- larly among childeen. Poor eyesight and the many ills resulting therefrom will undoubtedly be much reduced by the use of this new illuminant. Booby Prize Parrot. Last winter a Topeka society wo- man wanted to get rid of an old par- rol which she owned. It had only one tail feather, but possessed an ex- tensive vocabulary. A bright idea struck her. She was hostess for her card club one day, and she gave the parrot as a booby prize. The woman who won it took it home and bided her time. It soon came her turn to entertain the club and furnish prizes. So she gave the parrot as the booby prize, too. From that time on the parrot became the booby prize and made the rounds of most of the homes of the women. Finally the woman who originated the idea won the booby prize the other day and carried home the old bird. The par- rot recognized his former home. He craned his neck, blinked his eyes several times, and then with disgust said: i “Oh, kitchens dirty as Kansas City Journal. ever.” — Ever Tricd Coles This Way ?
