of large fiat j fins projecting on either side intention him a little in most studies She has a good head of her own Dont you agree with me its al most a pity she isnt a boy he added jocosely Mr Deans smile was a little forced His family consisted of four daughters of whom Alice was the youngest I dont quite with you there he replied though I be lieve I have gone so far as to re mark to Alice that wish she had a twin brother Not that it isnt possible for a girl to look forward to a ca reer of her own nowadays doctor went on Womans sphere has widened considerably since you and were boys I dare say that your daughter with her undoubted ability has some thing in mind other than settling down into young ladyhood To tell truth the busy law yer had very little definite bought as to he question Alices future His other girls had no doubt settled down in to young ladyhood after com pleting their schooling and two Of them were already married Probably he had taken it for thai bin youngest would follow their example Hut this Chance conversation had suddenly awakened an ambi tion in regard to Alice Why should she not have some kind Of career as well as Car lo- He hastily made a menial inventory of her tastes and apti tudes so far as he could recall hem and at once his face bright ened Well- he said I rather think hat Alien will herself to music I think she has a de rided gift in that Ah said the doctor with a show of interest I suppose she has already made a beginning Well she hasnt had much formal Instruction as yet but it seems to come natural lo her I would rather hear her play the piano than any professional I ever listened to She seems to make it talk right out The two men had not noticed that a young girl burdened with bouquets and flushed with the excitement of the occasion had entered the pew behind them and was waiting an opportunity to speak Excuse me for interrupting she said as she touched the law yers arm but arent you going to congratulate me papa Why Miss Alice exclaim ed Doctor Carter turning around and forestalling his friend I will do so at any rate Your father and I have been bragging a little about our children and he was speaking Of your musical gift Allow me to that you owe it to yourself and to your friends to cultivate it Such a talent is not lo lie hidden under a bushel Now in the case of my boy am simply looking to see him established as an ordinary doctor a little better than his father Hut you my dear young lady with your gift may become famous There was a little twinkle In Alices eyes as she withdrew her hand from the doctors friendly grasp but she gravely thanked him for bis good wishes I arn afraid my father overestimates my musical ability she said but will think about it Apparently she lost no time In thinking about- it for the next evening she said made up my mini that I should like lo begin taking lessons at once if you are willing Certainly certainly replied Mr Dean present Of course away for the No time like the J shall have to go lessons she con tinued the matter with mother girls and we think that I had better spend the next few months with in the city Mr Deans face fell for he had not thought of absence from home in connection with his daughters career but he was obliged lo admit the wisdom of the proposal and give his con sent So within a fortnight Alice was with her married sister in a city twenty miles away taking lessons The lawyer missed his daugh ter even more than he had ex pected The shabby old piano at home now- stood in its corner in a most depressing silence even his office scorned to have taken on an aspect of dingy lone liness There was one now to run in upon him occasionally at his work and spend a half hour or so in tidying things up a little But ho end of a month Alice came back for a visit of a day and books and papers at the office were once more put in to place and Hie piano was again brought into service Ah that sounds something like sighed Mr Dean as he sat comfortably in his armchair at night and listened to some of his favorite pieces You have made great improvement already I see But I should like to hear one of your new pieces- sup pose that you have learned sever al by this time Alice continued to make a monthly visit home and each time was able to play something new for her father He was very greatly pleased with her progress though it seemed the expense was considerable for at Thanksgiving she asked him with some apolo gy for a hundred and fifty dol lars I shall not need so much again hope You may call this my Christmas present papa At Alice was at home At breakfast Mr Dean said he would spend part of the forenoon at the office I am somewhat behind with my work he explained and there are im portant letters to be written Wait an hour or so before you go papa said Alice and Ill go down and tidy a little for you The office a sight to behold So when the lawyer reached his office about ten oclock he found his daughter there with everything in order as he expressed it But his at tention was at once attracted by an article of furni ture Where in the world did thai typewriter from It should be remembered that the typewriter at that time al though it had made its way into pretty general use in the city was a novelty in village offices Why it is your present to inc papa Alice replied Isnt it a dear And I can perform on it quite well- much belter at any rate than I ever did on a piano Hoy father in astonish ment Why what have yon been doing he asked blankly Taking lessons in stenogra phy and typewriting she an swered And now I must show you present to you Allow roc she said with an elaborate gesture to Introduce Miss Alice Dean vour future typewriter and clerk The truth is said Alice I could never have made a musi cian Oh of course can play a little- mostly by ear but really nana if you must know I didnt Inherit any ability in that direc tion to speak of I thought it would be bettor for me to take lessons in something that I could learn to do well and that would be of use So with the help of mother and the girls I planned this Utile Christmas sur prise for you hope it is pleasant one You have needed assistance for a long lime you know Where did you learn all the new pieces you have been enter taining me with If you havent been taking piano lessons ask the lawyer as if cross- exam ining a witness Oh I got those at Miss Sher mans school of stenography You see a handorgan played twice a week under our window all sum mer and fall It was very dis tracting couldnt help but catch he tunes And now pa pa I want you lo dictate some of those letters and see what means to have a stenographer at your elbow I may not do so very well lust first but T shall hone to improve at the end of an hour when Mr Dean was his signa ture to several nentlv type written tellers ho was obliged to admit hat his volunteer clerk did verv well Indeed You would certainly be of great to me be said and of course I should be delighted have you In my office but will you be contented with that begin to at once Mr Dean in quiringly Yes study law of course Single Copies each VOL LXiy No 51 in one of the bestread lawyers the state so people say Do you mean that you intend to enter the profession asked the lawyer amused Certainly Why not an swered Alice Why my dear child there are only two or three women lawyers in the whole state I Welt then when Im admitted to the bar there will be three or four You see papa I have chos en my career The law has al ways had a fascination for me But I never really decided to try for it until my graduation day Do you remember the talk you had with Doctor Carter that nooh I heard part of it- help it j you know Well I made up my mind I would try to be as much as Dick Garter is to his father 1 maj not succeed but you will help me in the attempt wont you papa There was a gleam of pride in the old lawyers eyes as he looked into the eager face that with all its youthful freshness resem bled so strongly his own time- worn countenance Well well see he said He did see In due course of time Dick Carter became a full- fledged physician and he joined his father in practice But even before that day the wealherbeat- en sign over a certain office on Main St was replaced by a brand new one which read Dean Dean EMPEROR OF THE SAHARA DEAD BY Ml WIFE NEVER
