R1DDOCK & BYR CHARLES A STORY OF j I ...THE LAW. I I L [Original. J Anions tho inntiy advantages of con ontration of thought Is one dlsadvanage. Such concentration leads tho hlukcr to place an undue relatlvo ,-nluo u|)on the subject of his thought. V specialist In throat diseases Is apt to efer all the Ills man Is heir to to the ihroat. The professor of ancient lunjunges cannot understand how a man an he properly equipped for any pro 'ession without a knowledge of Ureck tnd I at tin. To the merchant tho chief ?ud of man Is to Isiy cheap and sell lear. In the legal profession this species of nonomaula tends to make the courtroom a tournament of lawyers. Tho real object of a court, to do Justice, is ?urled under a rank professionalism that has grown up like weeds In a lower garden. Edward Avery, a brilliant young nwyer, was especially under the inllur>ll< e of tilts iirofnsslimutism I In vine been elected state attorney, lie considered It his duty to convict alike tlie Imioccnt and the guilty. As s-?on as Ids duty to the state had ended ami he became an independent attorney lie considered it ids duty to secure the acquittal of any client, whether innocent or irulltv. His frli'iiils iisimI to re ninn<trate with lilin on the want of plasticity of Ills principles, hut without avail. IIo was Intensely logical and could give the l>est of reasons for his deductions, lie forgot that logic Is hut a machine wlileh will grind out anything that Is put Into It. One day while Avery was practicing on his own account a ina'u whose trial for burglary was to come off immediately sent for him and asked him to make his defense. "Hut 1 know nothing about the case." "Don't want y* to know notliiu' aliout the ease. The more you know about It the wo'se for me." . Avery's fancy was tickled at going into court to conduct a ease he didn't know anything about. He prided liitnsell' on bis readiness and resource. lie would odd another to his already large number of stories that be was used to telling his friends illustrative of those faculties. The necused man had but $5 to give him for a retainer, but Avery was n<>t after money. Ilis ols ject was to have an opportunity to show what he could do impromptu.

A very was somewhat surprise*! to see In the courtroom several of his iilumiB ..uu>st)urfi?f. .ily lecrJ Ui'ofcssioil. was twhl that they had heard he had taken a case he didn't know anything about, and they were curious to see how ho would handle it. Avery was pleased. This meant that they were there to witness a hit of professional fireworks. Avery in summer lived in n handsome suburban residence. In winter he shut it up. went to the city and lived in apartments till spring. When the prisoner was brought into court and Ihe witnesses were got together, the counsel fur the defense was surprised lo see among the latter face? of his neighbors in the coiintrv. lint wlmt was his astonishment when ilio prosecution brought out tho fact that the robbery had been committed in his own louse. Avery's frlemls were watching hlra in?l wlien this fact dawned upon him :hey snickered. The young attorney ?a\v at once tiiat they lunl placed him n a position to defend his client from robbing him. Hut he was game. Not She slightest change of countenance In licjited that his professional (spianimtv liad bean disturbed, lie listened jnlinly to the evidence against his oil int. while the expression of his face nul ?;ulck flushings in his eyes told hat he was straining Ids brain to tind tome weak sj.ot in the prosecution, loine tcehnienlity by which ho might lecnro the tu-<iuiltfll of liis elieut. The burglar 1: ul lioeii soon coming lown a trellis from an upper story by t man with whom Avery was well acluainted. lie had beeti ehased, but on he way had contrived to got rid of wme valuable articles. When appro tended, he had nothing on Itiin to con"let him of theft. Of course the Jury vere entirely Ignorant of the situation hat had been brought about by Avry's friends. When the prosecutor's videnee was nil in, Avery took the witless who had seen the burglar descend he trellis and asktM him how he knew he prisoner was the same person. The fitness oou'd not swear that ho was. Ie had seen hint run, and lie had bee i ollowed by a policeman and several i' /jo. but the witness had merely . descend the trellis. What i lie <. d not know.

Strange to say, we jostled n<? one, ami 110 one jostled us. but I could feel my guide pull or push me to one side or the other in order to avoid collision. "Are you a stranger in I.oudou, sir?" he asked. "Yes, an American." "An American? Then I am conducting a fellow countryman?" "Indeed! IIow came you to he a fog conductor in London?" "I came here to find a better literary field than ours in America." "And got stranded?"

"Forgive mo," said the man, who 1 could now see was intellectual looking, hut very shabby; "I live here. I have brought you to my home to show you what can happen to an American who trusts himself on the literary sea of London." lie opened a door and took mo into a room, or, rather, two rooms communicating. In one of them on a eoueh lay a girl with the (luring eyes and hectic cheek of a consumptive. "I would offer you some refreshments," said the man, "hut there is >t a crust of bread here. We have neither fuel nor liglits, and my poor daughter, far from having the delica cio: site needs, lias not even ordinary food."

The remains of some delicacies I had sent a few days before were on a table. The invalid was resting In a steamer chair, ami I approached her with a sail heart.
