a very good program last eve

than the one who was on before.

than those usually given. The

off easily, snd I'm wllllug to pay."
"The trouble is tbls," said tbe fourth
man frankly. "You are very deaf. No
lawyer likes to defend a deaf man un
less he Is hard pushed for clients or Is
going to receive a tremendously big fee.
