Judge Holcomb remarked angrily to Miss Julia next spring, a week or ao be fore he died. It waa the last time be ever talked to Mlna Julia of his erst while prodigy. The old man passed away in his sleep rery quietly Just before James' thirty-third birthday. James missed him more, had leaned on him more, than perhaps either had realized. Although in his last year the Judge had been a silent rather than an active partner he was alwaya there to aivise James, prompt to laugh him out of an absurd enthusiasm or spur him from his now too fre quent aloth. "You lost your case today be cause you talked too much," the Judge once cautioned James. "You had It won hands down on two or ever, his rod hair lost Its brilliancy and was sprinkled with gray. He stopped going to contentions and making speeches or telling funny stories and no one predicted a bril liant future for him. His law prac lice ceased to expand, remained stationary and began to shrink. James realized with a lump In his throat that his town had lost faith In him had ceased to believe In him, as he had ceased to believe In himself. He and Jane only quarreled a half dozen times a year now or at least James answered that often hit wife's querulous complaints. Bui sometimes when she looked full at him James felt that she hated him and knew that ft was because he was a failure. He felt extremely sorry for himself but sorrier foi Jane. He believed that he had won hei under false pretenses and ho nevei really blamed her for ceasing to love him after she found him out. H wondered at Intervals, reading tht papers, whether Jane, if they had lived In a city would not have asked him for a divorce. God knows shi could have It for the asking. H had no desire to keep her tied U him. IN the last ten or fifteen yean there have been few kind wordt ' J v11 ' 1 11 "if r,, 4 u i James realized the town had lost faith In him. three occasions, but you were rev eling in the sound of your own voice and kept at H until you talked yourself and your client out of a victory. Nover forget that talk is cheap ... the cheapest thing tn the world. Lincoln's best speech was written on the back of an envelope." James never again talked himself out of a case. But the Judge was not always critical; far from It. When James; won a rase or put up a good fight the Judge was the first to slap him on the back and say the heart-warm-Jng things he most wanted to hear. It did not matter ao much that Jano made light of his small successes as long as James knew that he had pleased the Judge. BUT now the Judge was doad. His empty office, kept tempo rarily by Nappy In a state of un natural order and cleanliness, was a dally, almost hourly, reminder that his best friend and protector had gone from him forever. James hnd no one now to depend on but himself. James slept those days alone In a back bedroom and no longer wakeuod joyfully, anxious to work off his superfluous energy by romp ing with his wife. He ate his break fast alone, tiptoeing cautiously down the bark stairs for fear he might waken Jane, who had long since developed Insomnia. His hair no longer stuck up ag gressively from his crown even on special occasions, but lay meokly down where he plastered It; and he almost never wore a blue coat with checked trousors or vice versa. He smoked only two cigars a day and thoso at the otllce and he spent his Sunday afternoons In a big chair In the Northrnp library sleeping ofT his over-largo over rich mid day dinner. Jane had quarreled with his Aunt Sarnh, and the latter had to come to the office to see her nephew, or he went occasionally to see her afternoons when he was not busy, ihough he never mentioned thoso visits at home. He grew stooped, thinner than Tomorrow Jjirti vvclcoint from J t hi curl out SALEM, Or.. May 1.

Hut at least there Is to be Bald In 111 favor the War ended an Intolerable Bltuallon be tween Jano and Jamra Sllinson. From the Invasion of Belgium James had been stroiiKly nro-Ally. Jane, seemingly from pure contrari ness, became as strongly pro-German.' When In 1317 the United States Dually decided to throw In Its lot wltti the Allies, Jane had to sing a different tunc. This made James' home life none the easier. Jnmcs enlisted as much to got away from Jane as from patriotic reasons. This Is not a war slory. Juntos, went ovorsens a captain In a regi ment composed largely of men from his own state. Missouri and Okla homa. He fought at St. Mlhlel, fought through the Argonuc, swore, sweated, hunted cooties, laughed, worked anil did hi? damnedest along wllh two million other Americans. Ills war record was good, though not particularly brilliant. He was noted, unfortunately, more for the fittoncy of his language under stress than for any fonts of unusual daring. The tilings their cnplaln could think to say on occasions wore mat ters of great pride to James' com pany, rtut Captnin Stlmson was real ly only at his best when he was fighting. Ho always went over th top swearing under his breath. He was making the nlr blue around him when ho was wounded during a nasty struggle over a machine gun r t!to Argunp.9 and almost shocked the wnr-hnrdened nurses while coming out of the ether. His wound was not a particularly serious one, hut ho walked over after with a slight limp. , . , And was for a long while proud enough of that limp to burst. James returned home a majot and roilo a prancing charger In front of his men when they marched In the big parade St. Louis arranged as their homo coming. A million peo ple lined the streets and gave them welcome. (Cor-y'ff'if. ij j. Matrri n. f'omh.jm, SPECIAL HELP FORiSWEEPSTAKES SELLERS HnilQlwr.
