D. Dacrea and Gertl Gilfcll da
not belong to the camouflage
achool of art; all 11 they uoceed
fAirtr well In pajnttnf the object
(A.) ao that It fadea Into the DacK- .
ground (B) and haa every Bppemr-
snoe of being a cefor the Na-
tlonal Purity league.
Eren If bortrlhy and me hasn't got
swell client we're legal Bid mostly
you can stake your bottom dollar that
we're) got swell friends.
Dorothy is D. Dacres counselor at
law and Tm Gertie GltfoU her tody
law clef. It ain't always that she's
been D. Dacrea grubbing along In th
law business with her heels run down.
Her old man was th leader ot the bar
until Oebevolss got his clutches on his
pile. In them days D. Dacres wore
silk stockings and went to His Alder-
dice's where the regular . charge for
learning how to tnter drawln' room
Is dre hundred per. '
So in our suits of offices w often
has a menarerlt in th mornln' and
olock tea in the afternoon. I ain't
savin' who-W. uacrer- Dee: pais
maybe most of them belongs to the
menaxerte but there's a bunch of th
old Alderdlc crowd still sticks. Them
that tried to patronize D. DacrcOust
because she'd seen better days-
they've sua on into in innocuous.;
Well on day In comes ciairs us
nenard. and sails right into Ou nacres'
private office without as much a
aayln' by your leave. I could D.
Dacrea wasn't orroyd Clair was
on oAth patronUln' kind anyhow
but they klases and ariak tb Jin
funs that -they all doss and. then
Clair Uspenard slumps down Into a
chair. . The door stays - open and I
hears her talk. ;-.-- -
Dorothy" she says T com to yoa
An dernier resort" : WJiloh I as
much as to ssy for you can stake
your bottom dollar that I looked It up
-that she had tried every other place
before eotnln' to ua -
Thank you." said D. P acres grimly.
"Why didn't you try a clairvoyant
flrstr
"I I did." says Clair LaUpenarO.
Her lips was tremblln' and I could ae
that aomethln' was th. matter. Trinair
ly she stands tip andt leans oyer the
desk and looks v. Dacres in tns eye.
'Dorothy" she says 'Tm engaged
to Bob Pell. It's announced today.
f could see from where I sat that It
hit D. Dacres right between th eyes.
She got up and held her hand across
th tabl. . - ? '
'Put . It ' ther Claire." she say
'you're tru blue."
My but there was a ginen-eivc in tn
atmosphere after ' them words. ' D.
Pacree Is a person you can feel a mils
off. When she's cold you frees and
when she's warm It's Ilk slttln' by a
radiator with four pound ot steam
full head on. '
"Tou'r a brick Clair" sh says.
And X knowed why aha said It Bob
Pell was goln' to State's prison for
flv yaars and he was goln' right away
unless aomethln' happened quick. Let
m tell you about him. . -
Bob Pell was Stat Senator Pell. He
waa on ef our riain' young states
men. He wa clean aa a whistle. Ben
nington Swords sent him to the 'State
senate. Maybe you'v never heard of
Bob Pell but you ve sure heard of
Swords. S words Is known from stains
to Meklco; but he lives light In our
midst here In this burg as you might
ay. Swords has got a mortgage-on
everything and everybody in the town
and State excepUn' maybe m and
Dacres. ' He's boss. But I want you
to see hLm right H ain't ne ham
handed proposition with a stummlck
stlckln' out .In front Them kind Is
human--8wordi is th devil. He B thin
from hi hair down to his toes; his
lips th. thinnest Dart of him.. He
don't know what blood means or he
dldp't until h. got a certain Jolt I II
tplf to about h ' f. : '
Well-' anyway that's Bworda He
sends Bob Pell. to th senate and be
cause of that he thinks he owns Bob
Pell. Then he start to sell the old
Tri-Stat canal a proposition that's
worth twenty-five million if It's worth
a cent to his own railroad for $1000.
000 and h order th Stat legttla
tur to put It through.
Well th nous puts it tnrougn nut
th senate -balks. Bob Pell's tha chief
balker. Tha old Tri-Stat. canal fran
ohls belongs to th Stat and Bob
can't see gtvtn' $.4000000 worth of
Stat canal to Swords' railroad. ' Bob
holds th controllln' vote and he turn
down tha hill.
Meantime Swords has slapped hlni
In th face: but Bob never fllnehea.
Thea 8 word! offers him congress th
United States senat. th governor
shipanything to pass that bill. Bob
Pell stands pat
All right" says Bworda . "no us
talkln' to a dead man."
Swords don't say anything that he
don't mean. When h says a dead
man he mean It . It a a prophecy all
right. H starts out to kill Bob Pelt.
He impeach him for oorruptln' vot
era and for glvln' bribes1 to get hlsself
elected to the senat.
Proof t. Evidence T Nothing to It
Sword earl prov anythln' be wants to
prove; and Bob Pell Is snaked so quick
out of his .seat in th senat that he
don't know wher h atanda 's But
Swords ain't through. Ha gets Bob
mdteted on th tame charge that lm
peachea him and he gets him con.
vlcted and gtta him-sent up for flv
year. : w . -. ' - t:
Bob knowed what it meant and so
did DeForest n lawyer.. It meant
that Bob would serve his term. Of
ooura they appealed and got aU sorts
of stays; but Bob was branded and he
was doomed bji everybody snowed It
th u knowi h w tlno

Inst Swords.
And with Bob goln to wear stripe
Inside of thre month her waa his
sir! announcing their Bngagement
"Dorothy" says Clair Usbonard
'Tm desperate. I'm part ot Bob Pell
now and If he goes to prison hs'll take
part ot me with htiv. . We'll suffer to
Known That.
A
C ' ;r: :
e-ether" ah says "and I'm desperate.
I've got to fight Bob has got to stay
out he has got to be cleared. lou
understand me cleared." . '
What can be done?" says Dacres.
"DeForest his lawyer is the best-man
In the State. He's don hla damndest"
aays Dacres or Words to that effect
"I'm only a ' woman lawyer uair.
How can I do anything T'
Clair shakes her head. Her fae
twitches like she's got to th breakhV
point -
It's got past th lawyers uoTvUiy
th says. "That ain't for men lawyers
nor woman lawyers neither. It's Just
for women and I com to you' sn

We've cot to so to Tony Bworos."
says Clair. "Maybe Tony could handle
the old man." . ..'.
Dacres shake her head. "Ballev
me. no" ah says. . .
Clair rets her by th arm; "8.
Uev me yea." sh answers. "It our
last ha nee and I want you to work it
out for m. Dorothy." sh says. "Tow

w need help." . .. f; 'i' : - '
n. Dacres thinks a minute. V
"My view U." shs says finally "that
It's useless. Tony Swords haa got n
Influence over Bennington and be
sides Tony's as cool as a cucumber
herself. Why don't you go to her!"
sh says. ' " " v
Wen. of course the answer to that is
that Claire Uspenard has been to her.
and so has otherpeopl. out it no

Then Bennington Swords gets a let-

well that gave Sword his cue. and
he started out for Bob PelL . Of course
th papers got th letter and of course
Bob Pell denied any knowledge of it
"Probably a take letter." says Bob

And his own daughter answered him
with another letter written in the

"For Ood's sake get m out get me

In halt an hour or nss Swords had
landed Billy Pomeroy. He found him
in a corner of th Chatelet club. Too
may as well know that by this time
Billy Pomeroy had been puf consider-
able wise. - He had got a few letters of
a different kind hlsself. So Benning
ton. Swords find him and start in.
"On minute MrN 8 word"- says
Billy Pomeroy 'let us go into this pri-

They goes into th private room and
Billy shuts thenloor and puts hla back

you goln' to do about It?" - X
"I'll have) you hung" says 8 words.
"Oh no you won't" says Billy sup-

So they talked about tt calm and
Billy Pomeroy did most of th talkln!
It must have been nuts to hear him.
Her was Billy Pomeroy that wouldn't

how cheerfully Swords' enemies would
bear It
"Then" says Swords flnally lo Billy
Pomeroy "you v got to do on thing.
You've got to- marry Antoinette.
Billy Pomeroy folds his arms and
looks the old man square In tha eye.
"Not until you. ask me" he saya
not until you get down on your
