'fSay, you de lawyer ? Yes, I'm a lawyer. Vlfhat do you want P Y'ere's a letter what de lady sent. She said it was fer de lawyer. VVhen he had gone, I turned the note over with trembling fingers. It was from my client. After a moment I opened it. My dear Mr. -2 it ran, I do hope this reaches you in time before you file those d1'c'aa'fuZ divorce papers. My dear hus- band has returned, and it has all been a terrible mistake. I-Ie took very ill while away and could not write me, and he was nearly heart-broken when told what a dreadful, awful thing I had thought of him. And to think that I was really going to get a divorce! Is n't it dreadful? I am so very happy, and my husband has for- given everything. I do hope you will tell the judge that I do not want a divorce at all, and ask him to give those terrible papers back. I am sorry I have caused you so much trouble and I enclose a check for your wry kind services. Believe me, Mr. 1, UYours very gratefully, I read the note to the end without faltering, once, twice, then I picked up the check which had fallen to the floor. It was for an amount double what I would have thought of asking. A moment later, letter and check were tiny scraps of paper in the bottom of my waste basket. That night I threw the volume on f'The Reveries of a Bachelor into the fire, and watched it burn with a sort of grim satisfaction. I believe my experiences with divorces are limited to my first case.

Lawyers and sages In this and all ages I-Iave ever been singing I-Ier praises,-and ringing The necks of each other, In wildest endeavor To capture the hoyden, My lovely Marie. I found her elusive, To searching conducive, But now that she's captured I hold her enraptured. A jointure I'll make her, To my homestead I 'll take her, Wliere, safe from intrusion, No lawyer's collusion, Petition misleading, Or fraud, or vain pleading Will capture my treasure, My lovely Marie. 116
