The conference if such it was lasted until almost noon. Oddly enough, Morgan did not accompany his old friend to the door, did not, in fact, emerge from his private office. Judge Jennifer came out alone and stopped before Nan's desk. "Well, well, Nan. my child," he rumbled, with grandfather! affec tion. "John telU me you're going to be a lawyer. Been up to the capital to take your bar examina tions. You're a smart girl, Nan. and we're proud of you, but "and he lowered the rumble to a gusty strangely significant whisper "take an old man's advice and leave these dirty criminal cases to the men.

Judge Jennifer, and maybe I'll take your advice," Nan retorted flippantly, but she had an uneasy suspicion that Judge Jen nifer knew exactly what her hot blush meant "That's a bargain remember!" the old lawyer chuckled from tne doorway. For nearly an hour there waa no sound from the private office of John Curtia Morgan.

I want to talk with you." Morgan said, not looking up, as if he were unable to meet her eyee. Morgan tried, rather awkwardly, to make an occasion of their lunch In the matter of food, but Nan chose a single dish and firmly re fused everything else. Nan knew that he expected his news to be upsetting, for he con scientionslv gave her plenty of time to eat before plunging Into what evr It waa that he had to tell her. When he did begin, it waa abi-uptly, even harahly t "I m go ing to apply for a divorce, Nan. As badly as that! It can be done very quietly, Tery easilv."
