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

the Judge perhaps . . . er, let us
say. bss outlived his usefulness,
yes. somewhat outlived his useful
ness. "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.

What hurt him most was thai

What did Jane mean by It any
