Not that I am curious, but I object to speading good meney for poison unless it's mec- essary. Remember, I am a lawyer. Why not let me advise you? My fee will not be heavy." Anthony had laughed miserably. "You advise in a love affair? That's funny, Dick. Why, you're a confirmed bachelor. You've never been engaged, never had a girl fn your life." "Maybe that will give me a better perspective In the matter," sald Rich- ard. "It wom't hurt to try."

The thing to de is to find a new method of attack. Put yourself on the defensive and wait for the gar- rison to make a sortie. Then cap- plan in detail--" A week later Anthony Appeared again, radiant, jubilant. The scheme had worked. . Now, Anthony had a friend who de veloped heart trouble, and the friend went to Anthony for advice. "Take it [to Jerome; he'll fix it," was the advice he got, and Richard proffered a pre- | scription that healed the wounds. And 86 on, and 0 on, till Richard's reputa- tion was firmly established] Richard was not a youth ia years, although he seemed one at heart, and most of his friends were at least ten years younger. Richard was nearly forty and there were tinges of gray in Mis hair and seme wrinkles om his forehead. He was net handseme, but strength of character was stamped on his face, and this attracted mest pee- ple he met. One day a young mam came inte his office. with a listless manner and a heart that was not workiag right. "My name's Fred Mania," he sald by way of Intreduction, and cast a "%| sour lool) out of the window at a | painter on a scaffold acress the street.

Some day, perhaps, he'll come my way, but if he doesn't I'll never marry at all" Richard emptied the sthes from the pipe and filled It again. He struck a match and was preparing to apply the went on: "The funny pag of it is, Julia has never been In this man's soctety but partner on a Sunday school hayride." Richard dropped the match sudden- asked: "What did you say is her name?" "Julia Roth" was the response. The corncodb fell and sprinkled un- lighted tobacco over the floor, while In his mouth Richard retained the broken stem. He rose and took his hat from a peg on the wall. "'T'm serry," he said, as Mr. Mania prepared to leave. "I'm dead sorry for you; but I've got to admit that' for once I have falled as a heart doctor." They stepped toward the doer, list- lessness in Mr. Mania's gait, while in | Richard's there was an unaccustomed | viger. He opened the doer and paused. | "Ll den't mind letting you in on a fttle secret," he sald, and his eyes were bright. "I've loved that girl ever Slace the hayride, but--well, I have been a pretty goéd adviser in the love affairs of others, but when it came to mine--" He placed an arm on the ethers shoulder.
