Jane hae made Jamee feel lik a failure: now ehe hae attacked him bitterly because he hae refuted a ehadu divorce ease which miaht have m,ade htm a fat tee. and ehe hae d"ne it in front ot her pomp'iiu father, who aartee with evtry word ehe save. Chapter 16 FAMILY QUARREL 1ANB turned to Mr. Northrup. "That's James' own particular method of setting the world on Are," he went on bitterly. "Or perhaps he did It Just to spite me because 1 wanted to have the house re-decorated and the two front bedrooms thrown Into one. That would cost a trifling three or (our hundred dollars, but we could not afford IL But of course we can afford to throw away thousands and work for noth ing, thanks to you. Father, thanks to you." "I'm sure that James must nave acted thoughtlessly and without due deliberation," said Mr. Northrup slowly and Impresslvoly, as was his custom. "But I can assure him that I have known Mr. Preston In a busi ness way for years and that there Is no one among all my acquain tances In whom I have more con fidence. ".Mr. Preston Is, I should say, above suspicion, like CaeBar's wife, quite above suspicion. Therefore, ray boy, though 1 respect you for your scruples. I aBsure you you may take the case with a clear con science." "I's too late now. I have dellnltely and positively refused to have any thing to do with IL" "Thnt's too bad, too bad Indeed. But Mr. Froston Is still In the city I believe, end he has always claimed to be Indebted to me for a small favor 1 did for him years ago nothing of any momcnL but one be made much of. I am certain that a word from me letting him know that you had er . . reconsidered your decision would set matters right In no lime ... In no time at all" ''Oh, Father, you are such an angel I What In the world would we helpless Babes In the Woods ever do without you?" James sank lower In his chair, grateful tor the kindly darkness. ,Ho had come borne emotionally and I mentally exhausted after a long hard day In court. It was Just his damnable luck that Mr. Northrup I and Jane had to hear of this Preston I offer, but naturally. . . . ' "Well, aren't you going to answer Father? Oolng to thank him?" snap- pe Jane. "ft Is not necessary for James to thank me nor did I expect any grntltudo," said Mr. Northrup stiffly. "I am only too happy to exert what little Influence 1 have In his behalf. Only too happy, I assure you both." "Thank you Just tbe same, Mr. Northrup. but from what Preston told me himself, I am perfectly cer tain that while he may be above reproach In bis business relations his private life Is quite a different matter. This divorce of his Is an ugly thing and It Is sure to prove both a legal and social scandal. "Even If I wanted to get Into It the Judge wouldn't stand tor IL Ho's very strict nhout divorce cases and only lot me take Sally's because I hare known her all my life and know that her brute of a husband would have killed her It they had gone on living togotbor." "TJDT my dear boy, wouldn't i - at least bo somowhnt wiser to first Investtgnto matters a little more extensively I might even say Intensively and have facts rather than conjectures on which to base a rcfusnlT I have found It an excel lent rulo, a most excellent rule not to . . " "Thore's no uo angling with James when ho drags In the Judge.'' Jane broke In cuttingly. "Everybody In town but James knows that the Judge Is a dnddorlnR feebto-mlnded old horo who should have been In his grave ten years ago. Hut because the old half nil still goes on telling James how smart he Is Jnmes still thinks him a perfect marvel of In telligence." "The Judge, my dear, has beon a very clever man In his day, a very clover man, and It Is altogether meritorious of James to accord hi Deneractor the ileioronce and re spect to which his years and attain ments entitle him. Hut on the oilier hand, 1 agree wltb you, Jane, that RAILWAY EXPRESS SEES INCREASE IN BUSINESS DENVER, April 26. 1. O.

"Would It not be kinder, my boy, and for the old man's own best In terest tor you to encourage him to stay more at borne and enjoy tb rest he has so richly earned, while you quietly assert yourself and tak the reins In your own bands? I may even say It appear to me your clear and unquestioned duty to do what ever Is best tor your Arm, regard less of the Judge's opposition. That's the entire matter In a nut shell. You must do whatever Is best tor the firm.' "The Judge Is still pretty keen If he Is eighty," said James angrily, "You'll admit his name Is still a power." "And you still think It wise to refuse this chance to make several thousand dollars rather than go contrary to ... er a stubborn old man's entirely unreasonable opposi tion?" "Mr. Northrup, I haven't talked this case over with the Judge. It wasn't necessary. But I don't flgbl women. Why . . . even If 1 tried to and did my best I . . . Just couldn'L If you were a lawyer perhaps I could make you understand better. The way I am made I Just have to be Interested In a case, be sure I'm rlghL before I can do any decent work on It especially when It comes to pleading. "If I got up In court and tried to blacken the name of a poor old de fenseless woman, who had never done me any harm, Just to maks a few dirty pieces of silver, the words would stick In my throat Can't you and Jane understand! Can't you see that I'd rather starve than make money that way? And that even If I wouldn't even If I tried, I could not succeed In doing It?" TT WAS seldom that James ex x plained himself so fully or tried to Justify himself In any argument with Jane, but be still had a vagus hope left that If Jane could once bs made to understand. If be were only clever enough to put things so tbal she could understand, matteri would once more be righted be tween them. "You know you won't starve,' said Jans cruelly, "not as long ai Father Is alive." James did not answer, but got ui abruptly and went for a walk. Id spite of himself and In spite of thelf frequency, Jane's Jeers never tailed to hurt Why was It that nothing he did any more seemed to please herl He had tried so hard this last yeal or two to make himself over and bs all the things Jane most desired. He had workod like a dog trying to make more money. Thirty-two hundred dollars wasn't bad for a young lawyer In a town ol tbe size of Now Concord, but Jans considered It nothing at all, Just ai she considered that caso be woo against Miller and Babcook a men plcayunlah affair because his tos was small, although they wore two of the biggest lawyers In Topeka and even the Judge hadn't though! he had a ghost of a chance against them. But he could stand Jane's sneen at himself he was used to tbosi If she would only let the old Judgt alone. It was true that the old mat In his fondness might appear al times a Utile foolish to orltlcal eyei eager to pick a fault, but God knowi he himself and Juno too should bi the last to criticize his old friend no mattor what he did or became. What hurt him most was thai Jane was forever Insinuating thai the Judge never had amounted tc much. He was glad that hor (nth el had at least admitted that the Judgt had boon a clover man In his day What did Jane mean by It any way? Was It hor method of tailing him Hint she though the Judge wai a fool because be had once pre dicted that James Stliuson wai something of a genius and destined to make a name In the world? Yes, that was IL He belloved that was IL It was Jane's subtle way of telllnf him ho was a tnllure. Jane believed that he and the Judge between them had trleked her Into marriage wltb a man destined for failure from th beginning. God knows It was hard on Jane, a woman who was meant to run with the hare, to be tied to a tor tolse. but If she would only give htm time. . , , fCopyrisM nil.
