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

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

"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

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
