A Breach of
Promise Case
By F. A. MITCHEL
"My tl.uij.'liUT." said Jiultro I.i;ullet
tor to Mr. li.ilpli I'iiiiuIiik. "since simuI
UiK you U nic to usk for lior burnt has
I'timiKtMt Iut miml. Not as to uer fool
ins toward you, but slio litis decU'.t'd
to pursue tlie profession she bus boon
stUilyiiiK under tny tutelage. We are
h raee of lawyers, and my daughter In
herits the family iurliiiatlou. After
giving uu atlirinatlve auswer to your
suit she roll to considering that mar
riage would necessarily prevent her
following a legal career."
It seems to me, judge, that this Is a
ease of lireucu of promise. 1, too, have
iuherited legal Instinct from u long
line of jurists. My great grandfather
was an associate l ulled States justice,
my grandfather was au eminent crimi
nal lawyer"-
"Enough. You enter a charge against
my daughter of breach of promise.
ou shall have an opportunity to sub
stantiate it and she to plead."
The Judge called a maid and told ber
to ask Miss Margaret to step Into bis
study. The lady came in, somewhat
surprised to see Mr. Fanning there and
curious to know why she had been
summoned.
"My dear." said tier father. "Mr.
Kuuiiing charges you with breach of
promise. I do not understand that it
Is for the purpose of cluiuiiug dam
ages, but I canuot allow you to treat
any one unfairly. What have you to
say to the charge of accepting him and
tbeil throwing him over?"
'Tpleud not guilty."
"Very well. Now, Fanning, you may
proceed to state your case."
"My attentions to Mlsa Margaret
have been noticeable and noticed by
our mutual friends for months. She
has accepted various trifles from me.
especially gifts of flowers, indicating
that my attentions were agreeable to
ber Utst evening I called upon her.
W e were sit tins In a cozy room In this
b.Hise before a tire of blazing logs. An
annua of the lust lot of cut flowers 1
sent ber. arranged in a Dresden vase
by her own shapely hands, pervaded
the apartment The cheery firelight
contrasted delightfully with the winter
gloom without We sat side by side
on a large''
"1 object!" cried the lady.
"The objection is not sustained." rul
ed the Judge.
"Nevertheless I prefer to respect the
defendant's wishes." said the plaintiff.
"I will omit the rest of what happened
except so far as It pertains to the law
of contracts I then and there asked
your daughter to be my wife Her
bead sank"
"1 object ugnln!" cried the lady.
"The plaintiff states in one breath that
he will omit what happened except as
to a contract he claims to have been
made and In the next breaks his prom
ise." "I beg the defendant's pardon." con
tinued Mr. Fanning. "What occurred
was the del gbt of my life. I was In a
whirl of joy"-
"Yes. yes." Interrupted the Judge.
"The court understands all that He
has been there himself, though many
years ago ('lease coullue yeurself to
the contract "
"Y'our daughter, her -beautiful face
buried against my breast, whispered
'Yes.' "
There were a few moments of silence,
when the Judge announced to his
daughter that be was ready to hear
her defense.
"Y'our honor." she began "1 mean
papa I base my ilfense upon that law
which has protected many, a minor (ln
an inheritance, the law against exert
ing undue Influence upon a testator.
Mr. Fanning sought to deprive the no
ble profession of the law of ray life's
services He took advantage of our
pleasant surroundings, the cheerful
firelight, the uroma of flowers, the lux
urious sofa"-
"ChairV" interrupted the plaintiff.
"Will you protect me?" cried the girl,
appealing to her father
"Another such interruption." said the
Judge sternly to Funning, "and I will
line you for contempt."
"I claim," the defendant proceeded,
"that Mr Fanning took advantage oj
these surroundings to unduly Influence
me to bequeath myself to him instead
of tny natural heir, the law."
"And ! claim." urged the plaintiff,
"that In giving herself to the law the
defendant disinherits her natural heirs,
a husband and children, besides wreck
ing the life of myself, the plaintiff In
this case."
A silence followed these words, which
were spoken with great depth of feel
ing. It was broken by the Judge, who
asked of Fanning:
,"Do you desire to enter any rebuttal
of my daughter's statement."
"No, your honor. I rest my case,
which I have summed up In my last
words that if the contract Is broken
It will result In the wrecking of my
life."
"1 reserve my decision,." said the
I iudge "The court will take a recess
i for half an hour, at the end of which
; time the decision will be handed down."
! lie retired front the room, leaving the
plaintiff and defendant together. In
exactly half an hour he returned and,
! seating himself, nppenred to be fram
ing what he was about to sny when
his daughter spoke:
"You needn't trouble yourself, pupa.
The case has been settled out -of court."
"Indeed"' The Judge looked pleased.
"On hat terms?"
"We're to he married in the spring
and go to Kurope on our wedding trip."

If Fanner John Stone hadn't been a

tilings might have been diltereut
When he told her that he loved her ber
reply was:
"Johu. you are a good man. but"
' "But what is It. Mary?"
"You are baldheitded and have do
whiskers "
"Hut I love you."
"That can't make up for it I repeat
that you are a good mail, but wheu I
think that I would have to sit here
evening after evening and stare at
your sillily poll It Is too much."
"1 I thought If n man loved"
"Hut there are the whiskers or the
lack of them. No mail can look digni
fied without 'em. Your diameter is all
that a woiiiau could ask for. but where
is the hair? Where the whiskers?"
John Stone turned away lu chagrin
and despair, and there was no sleep
for him for the uext three nights. He
was still iu the dumps when a tih ped
dler came along and Invited him to
open his heart. He did so.
"Say. John. It was uieau of the wid
ow." said the peddler when he had
listened to all
"Yes. kinder "
"Kinder? Why. man. she has wreck
ed your life."
"Has she?"
"Y'ou want to turn around and wreck
tbe widow "
But how can I do It?" asked John.
"First of all. get mud at her. Say
to yourself that you don't care a durn
for her."
"Well. I'm feeling that way. She
can go to Texas!"
"Kully for you! Now. then, you know
that we eddlers take all kinds of
things iu trade The other day 1 mked
lu an Egyptian, mummy for $1 worth
of milk pans. You know what a mum
my is. don't you?"
"Some one that's leen dead a thou
sand years."
"Exactly. Wheu I ripped him open
I found this paper."
"By George!" gasped John.
"It is writ lu Egyptian, but 1 can
read it right off. It's a recipe for mak
ing huir grow on bald heads."
"You don't say "
"And for forcing whiskers to grow
on the smoothest face It says that
one month's use of it will grow side
whiskers on a boy of ten."'
"You ciin't mean It."
"You can have the preparation put
up nt a drug store and begin to use It.
and In u month what happens? Why,
you have a luxuriaut crop of curly
hair on your bnld head and chin whisk
ers that fall down to your waist aud
are blown to port and starboard by the
breezes. You can walk up and down
the road In front of the widow's house
From the window she sees you and
knows she has made the mistake of her
life. She culls to you to admit that
fhe was in the wrong and that you can
bring the preacher as soon as you
please, but you wave her aside"
i "And what?"
"And yon wave her aside and go
along to the Wldder Stevens nnd pro
pose marriage to her and hustle things
along She dotes on curly hair and
chin whiskers, and will sny yes at
once."
i "By George, but it will be grenr!"
"It will for sure."
"And you'll do this out of the good
! ness of your heart?"
"I'll do It for one-half goodness and
the other half cash The cash half Is
$25 Those chin whiskers alone are
worth $100 to any living man "
j No farmer is ready to pay out money
I unless he can see a return for It.
j Farmer Stone asked for a week to con
sider the mutter and then closed the
Ideal. It wasn't humanely possible for
I a baldheaded. whiskerless man to hold
j out. The formula was copied off for
! him, and he deposited It in a safe place
until he could spare a day to go to the
: village. That day never came He
I was killed by accident In his own field.
Then came an Interval of seven years
! during which time nothing was said In
! his late community about baldheaded
I men. One day a stranger appeared
I who had heard from the peddler that
John Stone had the Egyptian recipe.
I and he offered $5 for it. One of the
widower's heirs found it In an old

The next heard of the recipe was by
advertisement A coffee and tea house.
Instead of giving out trading stamps,
advertised to grow hair. and whiskers
for the buyer of every pound of tea or
coffee
They sent a lot of wagons through
the country to herald the news by
word of mouth, and the highways were
plastered with posters, and the weekly
papers reaped whole pages of adver-
i Using. The campaign was brief, but
vigorous.
