A Put Up Job By SADIE OLCOTT Copyright, 1910, by American Pre*? Association. "I understand, Wllkins," said Jones, "that Thompson Is engaged to Miss Watrlss." "Funny, Isn't It? The Idea of a man , lawyer marrying a woman lawyer." "So It Is. How would they behave on opposite sides of the same case?" "I'd like to try them. By the bye, Thompson has my case against your company. Suppose you put your case In the hands of Miss Watrlss." "I'll do It" When Mr. Thompson came Into court and saw bis fiancee lined against him be knit his brows. But she gave him a sweet smile, as much as to say, "Isn't It nice for you and me to try a case on opposite sides?' Thompson recovered himself, returned the smile and declared that It would * be delightful. As the attorney for the plaintiff be opened the case. Now, Mr. Thompson was an able attorney. In the first place, be entered heart and soul into every case he conducted and bad the reputation among uia proiessiuuai asawtiuitfa ui gciuug more out of bis witnesses to injure the opposite side and more out of their witnesses to help his own side than any man at the bar. In the present case he coaxed bis witnesses, helping them by leading questions so that they were a tower of strength for his case. Miss Watriss, seeing the advantage he was gaining, became restive. She began to object to nearly every question. But the Judge did not sustain her obJections, and this irritated heh The 4 consequence was th^f when her own witnesses took the stand she was In a very bad humor. , ,' By this time the attorney for the plaintiff had become absorbed In his case to the exclusion of every other ? consideration. The first witness called for the defense was a mild gentleman, who was never sure about anything. "Do you remember," sneered the attorney, "what you ate for breakfast this morning?' f "I object!" shouted Miss Watriss, springing to her feet. The objection was sustained. Mr. Thompson then showed the witness a paper and asked him if he wrote it ? "It looks like my handwriting," was the reply, "and that seems to be my signature, but 1 couldn't swear to it." "How old are you?" "Sixty." "Do yon consider yourself In your second childhood?" "I object!" again shouted Miss Watriss, this time with redbot cheeks. "Your honor," said Mr. Thompson, with exasperating coolness, "perhaps the attorney for the defendant would like to conduct my case for me. I would prefer to have her do so rather than prevent my proving that her witness is either Incompetent from loss of memory or is withholding evidence." Mr. Thompson by this time had tot ~ gotten that be had a fiancee and that fiancee was his opposing counsel. Perhaps force of habit got the better of him. Miss Watriss gave him an angry glance, but made no reply. Mr. Thompson either did not notice her choler or was used to exciting the wrath of his opponents. Indeed, this was a favorite method with him. Having browbeaten a dozen witryaaaaa fnr th? (ipfpnSP Until theV WCTO not sore of anything except what be wished them to be sure of, Mr. Thompson summed up the case as one of the most arrant swindles against his client that had ever been perpetrated upon a long suffering person. Miss Watrlss, who knew that his client was a rascal who was trying to ruin her own client, could scarcely contain herself through anger. Mr. Thompson's artful method of distorting facts, his smooth but cutting irony, were like rubbing a file on a rheumatic member. Miss Watrlss' condition was not Improved, either, by the loss of her case and costs for her much injured defendant When they left the courtroom Mr. Thompson, who had suddenly dropped the attorney and returned to the condition of lover, joined his fiancee and said: "Sweetheart, I congratulate you on having done splendidly!" "Don't sweetheart me!" "Why, my dear, you don't mean to say that you have been affected in your feelings toward me by this lawsuit?" 'T have been so far affected that I wish you to consider our engagement at an end!" "Great heavens! What is the mean* ing of this? We lawyers?that Is, men lawyers, no matter how we have wrangled over a case?always leave the ? courtroom friends." "I will have nothing further to do with a man who would treat a poor old gentleman as you did my principal witness, and, as for your references to me, they were inhuman Insults!" Shortly after that Miss Watriss received a call from the two men who had "put up the job" on her and her lover. "Mr. Thompson," said Jones, "has my law business. I am willing to transfer It to you, and Mr. Wilklns will give you all his on one condition." "Name it," said the lady. "That you become reconciled to your former fiance and renew your engagement." They were months in persuading Miss Watriss to accept the condition. When she was married they gave her a fine check for a bridal gift, and when her first child was born her husband succeeded to her law business. REGENERATION. Despise not the obliquities of younger ways nor despair of better things whereof there is yet no prosDect. Some negroes who believe in resurrection think that they shall rise white. Even in this life regeneration may imitate resurrection; our black and vicious tinctures may wear off and goodness clothe us with candor. Good admonitions knock not alwavs in vain.?Browne.
