(Copyright, by W. O. Chapman.)
Andrew Carr agreed to tuke young
Erskine Into his law office because
he was the son of his old friend. He
kept him there because be was mak­
ing good.
“Fred hasn’t done anything extra­
ordinary so far,” he confided to his
chum, “but I trusted him with a pret­
ty Important case the other day, and
he put It through. The trouble Is he
has a bee In his bonnet. Well, 1 sup­
pose you've got to expect It. Like all
young fellows he lias fallen In love,
and wants to get married.”
“Well, what’s to hinder?" asked the
other.
“Tho trouble Is the girl has Just been
graduated from n law school, and he
wants me to tuke her Into the office.
Well, I won’t have It. I don’t believe
In woman lawyers. I won't have the
office all upset. If she wants to marry
him let her stay home and make a
home for him. If he persists In his
fool notions I suppose I’ll have to purt
with him.” And the old man heuved
a sigh of regret.
Fred Erskine had begun work on a
very important case. It seemed rath­
er strnnge to him thnt Curr had en­
trusted him with such u big under­
taking, only stipulating that he was to
be occasionally advised ns to the prog­
ress of the affair, and consulted If
necessary.
He confided the matter to Edna Fer­
ris, his fiancee, In whom at tills stage
of his career he confided everything.
“I believe,” he declared, “the old
gentleman Is just trying me out. if I
win this case, he may take me Into
the firm."
“F re d !” exclaimed the girl delight­
edly, “wouldn’t that be wonderful!
Why you could work nlone for years
before you could get such a s ta r t!”
“Yes, I know that. But you want to
practice—and you know we must be
partners.”
"Perhnps he will let me come In the
office,” she said.
Then Erskine was forced to tell the
girl Mr. Cnrr's nversion to women In
the profession. “I told him,” he ndd-
i ne tffira uay alter the accident, Ed­
na found her patient flushed with fe
ver, and much worse Instead of better.
She did not allow him to see her
alarm, but sought an Interview with
the nurse.
“He has worried himself Into this
fever about some business," said the
nurse. ”1 wish you could find out, and
suggest something. There’s got to be
a slight operation on that leg, and we
don’t dare to undertake It with him In
this nervous condition.”
The very word "operation" struck a
chill to the girl’s heart, but the life In
the other room wus to her so dear,
she nerved herself to
anything to
save It.
“I know the case so well," she said
to him ns she sat down by his cot.
“Ju st let me go on with It. I’ll mail
letters from all kinds of places from
you to Mr. Curr. I have friends who
will see to that. Lucky your right
hand Is all right so you cun sign them
I’ll go on with the hunt for that wit­
ness, and I’ll come here, report prog­
ress to you, und get your udvlce. Now
don’t worry the least bit. That case Is
as good ns won.”
The next morning Edna heard In an
swer to her telephone Inquiry that the
patient was much Improved. By her
request he was moved to a pleasant
room und every day she consulted with
him ns to the work dene. After about
live days, she found thnt Mr. Curr
was growing restive. There was noth­
ing for it, but she must face the ogre,
She Introduced herself as Miss Town,
the typist, and presented a parcel of
neat papers, which she said Mr. Ers­
kine hud sent her In hundwrlting, re­
questing her to type and tuke them to
Mr. Carr.
“Strnnge 1” he mused, “he stays
awuy like this. But the next moment
he beenme so engrossed in the papers,
he suld no more.
It soon became a common occur­
rence for the girl to visit the office
with a new batch of papers.
One
morning to her dismay, Mr. Curr asked
her to type a letter to Erskine to get
back as soon ns possible ns the case
was liable to come up within a week
It seemed to him now so well prepured,
he had agreed to the time.
“Erskine 1ms done some good work
on this,” he chuckled. “Now It’s up to
him to make us good a flgure before a
Jury."
Edna feared to tell the young man
of the early docketing of the case. The
operation lmd been successful, but he
hud not yet been allowed to stund on
the Injured leg. But her reports of
Curr’s confidence smoothed the way
and he declared he would get there.
Two days before the time he limped
with a cane Into the office. Then he
had to explain that he had met with
an accident, and had not wanted to
worry him so had gone on with the
work till he was well enough to ap-
peur without bandages.
Erskine won the ease.
As It in

Curr offered him the long-deslred part
nershlp. Ersklne's heart gave a great
leap, and he put his hand Into that of
other man, not being quite able to
speak.
Then he pulled himself to­
gether, and said: “I’ve got to tell
you—I'd be n miserable sneak If I
didn't. I didn’t win thut case. The
big point, the one that turned the tide
for us was made by Edna Ferris 1”
Then he told nil she hud done.
Carr, dutnfouuded, observed thnt he
would like to lay eyes on that girl.
“You have," answered the young
man.
“Not that smnrt llttlo typist?” Ers­
kine nodded. “Well she can come In­
to this office Just as soon ns she
wishes. We need her In our business."

THE NEED OF A NEW PATRIOTISM
B y P R O F . W. D. H E N D E R S O N of U n iv e rsity cf Michigan.
We must have a new patriotism.
The great factors tending to patriotism are the home, the school,
the church, the newspaper, and, last, the trained woman of leisure. No
nation can live without home life.
The damnation of American people today is their lack of efficiency
and education. We must have schools with a deeper purpose; our
churches must have nobler purposes, taking in the people of all classes.
Newspapers will soon come into their own, us is shown by the editorials
and in the interest shown in editorials! and, last hut not of least impor­
tance, is the woman who has leisure to attend clubs and afternoon teas,
etc. These factors are dominant in shaping public opinion.
Club women are women of leisure. Many have been educated on an
equal with men and more are being educated every day ou this basis. W by
should the women who have this education spend their leisure hours doing
nothing for the good of their community, while their husbands, with the
same education, work. It is said the work of the woman is the home, the
church and in the social world. It is true, hut every year the home is
becoming less, and more social duties appear.
I hold it the duty of my wife and women of education to get behind
the community and keep it up. See to the things that the men do not
have time to see to or that they cannot do as women can. Look after
sanitary conditions, food, paving, water supply and such things that have
to be gone after.
