Mr. Stebbins had turned the sixty mark, and there were young and en- vious attorneys who spoke ot him as old Stebbins. He had never married, and there were other youngand en- vious attorneys who said that it was a blessed good thing for at least one wo- man that he hadn’t._ The tact was that Mr. Stebbins was bitter, cranky and not at all willing to extend the glad hand. He had never been known to exhibit the least consideration for womankind, even when one` of them wasfdn the stand for him as a wit- ness. As for being gallant, the idea was ridiculous. One day, in walking about _with his bands clasped behind his back and his , shoulders humped over, _the old law- Iycr happened on an auction room. I There was a sale going on, and in idle curiosity he dropped in. An escrltoire was up for bidding. It was an antique. The bids were low and the auctloneer indlitorent, and as a result the law- yer found himself the ow_ner___ot the piece of furniture at what he knew to bo about one-third its value. A minute after it was knocked down to him s. man came rushing In and seemed greatly put out that the eseri- toiro had been sold. When ho found. ¢hgt'Mr_ Stebbins was the new owner he took him aside and said: ...rung at-ticio was included by mir lot of other goods sent I_':.‘:s :.;I°.“_I._° ._ »I - fo.- of Inino who is dead sndfwss radii! le" to me by Iils will.

The escritolre was removed to his lodgings and rubbed up n bit, and its next adventure took place a week later. The lawyer was in the public library to look up some dates connected with his case when he saw a man who close- ly resembled the one he had met in the auction room. They did not speak, and the triiie was forgotten in tive minutes. Three hours later the lawyer returned to his lodgings just in time to halt two men who were bringing his recent pur- chase downstoirs to be loaded into a van. The landlady explained that a very nice French gentlemanhad called and exhibited an order signed by Mr. Stebbins, and of course she thought it was all right to let the article go. The man he had seen in the library had put up the job to get possession of the escritolre. Mr. Stebbins sat down to reason it out. lie had paid 50 francs for the piece ot furniture. He had been odered 500 francs advance. The piece wasn‘t worth themoney. Why was the man so anxious, then, to get It into his pos- session? it had been pretty closely examined when first brought home. It was 'now given another inspection, but the lawyer could discover no secret drawers. He gave the landlady strict orders and went his way. Ten days later he told her he would be gone all day. Iiait an hour after leaving the house he returned for some forgotten data and found hor showing his room to a strnnger~LtiIa Innn he had met`twice before. The stranger hurried away without excuse, and the landlady said she was showing the room because the gentleman stood ready to 'take it as soon as liir. Steb- bins vacatcd. The caller had looked at and admired the escrltoire and had oven moved it about, but had taken nothing from it. She was talked to in piilin, legal Philadelphia language and ' her key taken away. I A _coupleot weeks passed away be- i‘ore»dnithing more happened. Then, ,as .the lawyer sat reading one evening. \.tho»ll_ndlidy came upiwith a young wobisa behind hor.

If he had been a poet he might have had compuuctlons, but, as a lawyer instead, he sat down and read every one of those letters with as much interest as if a breach of promise case was on the tapis. Some of them lshed and tied them 'up again he said to himself: “A jury. wouldn't be ten minutes bringing in a verdict ofguilty after readlng those letters."
