She looked with much Interest at Howard's stepmother. She had heard so much about her that It seemed to her that she knew her personally. As Alicia swept proudly by. the eyes of the two women met. and Annie was surprised to see In the banker’s wife' face. Instead of the cold, haughty stare she expected, a wistful, longing look, as if she would like to stop and talk with her, but dare not. In an other Instant she was gone, and. obey ing a clerk, who beckoned her to fol low him, she entered Judge Brew ster’s office. The lawyer looked up as she came In, but did not move from his seat Gruffly he said: "How long do you Intend to keep up this system of—warfare? How long are you going to continue for cing your way Into this office?" "I didn’t force my way In,” she said quietly. "1 didn’t expect to come In. The clerk said you wanted to see me.1 The lawyer frowned and scrutinized her closely. After a pause, he said: "I want to tell you for the fiftieth time I can do nothing for you." "Fifty?” she echoed. “ Fifty did you say? Really, it doesn't seem that much.” Judge Brewster looked at her quick ly to see If she was laughing at him. Almost peevishly, he said: "For the last time, I repeat I can do nothing for you.” "Not the last time. Judge," she re plied, shaking her head. ”1 shall come again to-morrow.” The lawyer swung around In his chair with Indignation. “ You will— ?” Annie nodded. "Yes, sir,” she said, quietly. “ You’re determined to force your way In here?” exclaimed the lawyer. "Yes. sir.” - The Judge banged the desk with his fist. "But I won’t allow It! I have some thing to say, you know! I can’t per mit this to go on. I represent my client, Mr. Howard Jeffries, Sr., and he won't consent to my taking up your husband's case." There was a shade of sarcasm In Annnle's voice as she asked calmly: "Can't you do it without his con sent?" The lawyer looked at her grimly. "I can," he blurted out, “ but—1 won’t.” Her eyes flashed as she replied quickly. "Well, you ought to—” The lawyer looked up In amaze ment. "What do you mean?” he demanded. “ It's your duty to do it,” she qaid, quietly. “ Your duty to his son, t*. me, and to Mr. Jeffries himself. Why. he's so eaten up with his family pride ind false principles that he can’t see the difference .between right and wrong. You’re his lawyer. It's your duty to put him right. It’s downright wicked of you to refuse—you’re hurting him. Why. when I was hunting around for a lawyer one of them actually re fused to take up the case because he said old Brewster must think How ard was guilty or he'd have taken It up himself. You and his father are putting the whole world against him. and you know It." , The judge was staggered. No one In his recollection had ever dared to speak to him like that He was so astonished that he forgot to resent It, and he hid his confusion by taking out his handkerchief and mopping his forehead. "I do know It,” he admitted. “ Then why do you do It?” she snapped. The lawyer hesitated, and then he said: “I—that's not the question." Annie leaped quickly forward, and she replied: "It's my question—and as you say, I've asked It 50 times." The lawyer sat back In his chair and looked at her for a moment with out speaking. He surveyed her crib Ically from head to foot, and then, as if satisfied with his examination, said: - BO YCE CAFE HOOD ivil epper L A WY E R Y C L. P a r lto n SURGEON : OREGON E. C.
