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

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

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

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
